Try Not to Die!! [Tuesday, June 21st]

"Since this is our last class together," Anakin said, standing before the students on the causeway, "I've made your tasks a little more difficult today."

Anyone else have a bad feeling about that? Good. "Read your clues carefully, follow the directions of the locals--as much as you can understand them if you aren't fluent in what seems to be ancient Greek--and try not to die." With that he stepped back from the clue box.

Here, luckily, Gabrielle had an advantage she was not above using: she knew perfectly well what an acceptable offering to Poseidon was (even though she personally wasn't all that fond of him, what with him getting her and her seasickness stuck on boats for prolonged periods of time on more than one occasion), she spoke the language just fine, and she was the one who got stuck doing all the bartering in any marketplace in any town they ever stopped in.

(She didn't spend all that much time at the temple once she'd left her offering. She was pretty sure Poseidon still wasn't too pleased with her and Xena for helping Cecrops break free of that curse.)

It wouldn't make up for all the time she'd burned in her disastrous fishing attempt, but it helped, and put a spring in Gabrielle's step and a smile on her face as she headed toward the check-in point.
