Figure 10.9
Angry Fashion Crusaders challenge other guilds.

In Figure 10.9, we see the guild Angry Fashion Crusaders in the midst of their
presentation quest. They illustrated key topics of their assigned material, such as
challenging other guilds to add them to stories they made up on the fly. Candy
was the extrinsic reward. Knowledge and practice were the intrinsic rewards.

Another Message from the Unknown
The third communication written on the wind was delivered differently from the
first two. The means was still PowerPoint slides, but the messages were private
for each guild. All players put their heads down on their desks. When a
particular guild s slide was projected, members of that guild alone could raise

their heads to read and record the message.

In the main quest, three of the guilds were now together in Fenwick: Deathbone,
the Shady Goobers, and the Angry Fashion Crusaders. After everyone had seen
their private messages, these three guilds were permitted to share their secrets
with one another. The other three guilds were not present in Fenwick. Yet, they
too, were given private information. Here is the message shown in Figure 10.10
received by Aesir, the guild still in High Reach.
