@Bowler218 I chose who I felt was the coolest and tried to balance the colors which worked out well and there will be a second season of this once the adventurers either complete the quest or are all eliminated.
Each of you have been given a note and small gift of 50 Gold Pieces. (Starting gold) Upon reading the note, you realize that the gold is compensation for the travels you have to go on to reach your destination. You are told to meet 4 others in a tavern and you will know where to go from there.
The Challenge is to create a card based on what you encountered during your trip.
My artifact for the contest! Lazav accidentally on purpose left this artifact in a convenient location, then gave Iris some inconspicuous mental suggestions to go find it. She hasn't caught on to him yet, as she still doesn't remember him, and she found the trinket and took it. This will allow Lazav to monitor her and her companions on the quest until somebody gets rid of this item. Because of Iris' mind being held captive, she probably won't discard it herself, and another party member may be necessary to solve her mystery.
My instant for the contest! Before she entered the tavern where she would be meeting the others, Iris needed a new identity. She chose a male wizard in his late 60s that she saw entering an abandoned fort. She stalked him in a cloak, murderered him, and studied his corpse in order to effectively mimic his appearance. Since he was carrying a letter adressed to him in his cloak, she was able to discover his name (Rinon Naoth) and job (a magic professor in a nearby city). She took Rinon's identity and is using it as an alias, and will introduce herself to the others as Rinon once she arrives. She has memorized his appearance and is able to disguise as him until she chooses a new alias.
For me to have left my own labyrinth, I will have had to cross this one bridge that is said to lead nowhere, if you are coming from the wrong direction. But, Asterion is never lost in his own labyrinth.
@pjbear2005: Along the way, Astik did walk into various bauble and trinket shops. Being unfamiliar with this sort of thing, he decided against purchasing anything, and also found little of note. He still had the cursed blade but has no plans of unsheathing it, yet.
(An aside: I don't have to use these slots immediately, right? I can redeem them later, yes?)
Situation: You have each reached the tavern in this order. Iris came first with Kali Deir coming in only moments after. About half an hour later, Aviron comes in followed a couple minutes later by Astik with Asterion coming in last.
You each look at your note to se if you missed anything and the whole thing has changed. Aviron glances up and notices the 4 others with the same note and gets them together to sit at one table.
Looking at your notes again, you see that a cut off text is there. You realize the notes have to go together. After putting them together, it forms a riddle. The riddle says:
Before we cross paths, you must pick up an item. Head to the town of conductive metal to retrieve a dour drink from a girl most Keen. She will be located in the shop of wares and potions.
You are currently in Gavral. Work together to figure out the riddle and do what is requested of you.
So far I've got town of Silver, most conductive metal...the dour drink is strong or severe, maybe potion of sorts...Girl most Keen, is probably named Keen, since used as a pronoun...any help is thankful

(An aside: I couldn't help but notice that the five characters are perfectly colour-balanced!)

You don't have to use it for the contest if you don't want to, it's just a slot you have.
The contest is the card(s) I assign you to make. The rewards are slots so you can make cards that go with your character and not just the assignment.
For me to have left my own labyrinth, I will have had to cross this one bridge that is said to lead nowhere, if you are coming from the wrong direction. But, Asterion is never lost in his own labyrinth.
Aviron picked up some new tricks while traveling, and was reminded of a very valuble lesson.
On his travels, Kali Deir crafts this out of pure antimagic, able to unmake aggressors with one use.
If I see an opening, I might present a special challenge and if failed, you would die or be separated from the party.
Do you happen to find anything on your journey to the tavern?
(An aside: I don't have to use these slots immediately, right? I can redeem them later, yes?)
Nope, you don't have to.
