MORE QUESTING! Thursday, Period Four
Thor had sent a handwavy notice the other day asking students to meet him outside the dorms (dressed appropriately for outdoor activities, of course) today instead of in their usual classroom.
"Good afternoon!" Thor greeted them. "I hope you have all had sufficient time to explore the maps of Fandom, as today we're going to put that knowledge to the test!"
"There is a Midgardian sport called Orienteering where participants are required to use their map-reading skills to complete a course, during which they will visit a number of checkpoints. We are going to do a simplified version of that today, to test your knowledge of Fandom geography and your skills at reading a map. For this task, you will be working with a partner: Alex and Shira, Cassidy and Snow, Alexandra and Loki, and Billy and Emma," he listed off, handing each pair an Orienteering map of the island, as well as a compass and a card with a list of five symbols. If the students looked at their maps, they'd see points marked off with corresponding symbols, although there was no other identifying information provided.
"An Orienteering map is often more detailed than a typical map in some ways, providing information about the height and size of geographical features, but unlike the maps we studied earlier, the names of individual locations are not labeled, although you will notice that there are several points marked off on each map. These are your checkpoints, and at each location there will bean NPC someone to verify you are visiting the point in the order determined by the card I gave you. The objective is to visit each point, and complete the course, as swiftly as possible.
If you're all ready? On your mark, get set, go!"
