2.16 Challenge Accepted

Looking around, I can't discern anything that might serve as this challenge we’re looking for. Maybe we're supposed to copy the giant slab of rock, taking turns leaning on the nearby building? Heh, maybe we could do a lean off, each of us demonstrating our best slack-off moves.

That'd be a great challenge. Unless we had to do it for an hour. Marathon leaning session, no thanks.

While I'm searching for another possible challenge, Beth approaches the leaning slab, squinting underneath it. Then she starts chuckling.

Landing beside her, I hear Tipan asking, "What is so amusing, Beth?"

Backing up, Beth points into the shadow of the pillar while we crowd around, "the challenge is started by climbing through those."

Moving closer, I see several small holes in the wall that lead into the building. Small holes which are arranged in the shape of a smiley face with cat ears. Joining Beth in her chuckling, I note it'd be easy for me to make my way through but I'm not sure if Josh or Roberts will be able to fit.

"Ah. Well, this is most unusual," Roberts comments, kneeling next to Beth while inspecting the holes.

Moving up next to the closest hole, Beth stops, gazing ahead unfocused.

"Okay, it says this is a movement challenge. Everyone, find yourselves an entrance. Josh, it looks like the eyes are bigger, so you and Roberts can use those," Beth instructs us, stepping out of the way.

Nodding, Josh slides under the stone slab, Roberts close behind him.

As I move into position near the bottom of the mouth, Smoulder decides to take her own hole beside me.

Smiling at her, I position myself to climb into the opening in front of me. It's only half a meter off the ground, which makes it a little awkward.

"Betcha a hundred shards I'll finish before you, skyborne," Rufka boasts as she and Tipan file into the tunnel.

"Only a hundred shards? So little. Are you afraid of losing? Why don't we make it five?" Tipan counters as she steps to her entrance.

"Hah. Solid silver. Deal, five hundred shards. Last one to the end loses," Rufka confirms, shaking Tipan's hand with a two-handed shake.

Once we're all in position, I receive a new notification.

"Zone Quest Hidden Objective revealed: Complete the hidden challenges located throughout the Fallen City of Lescodo. Requirements 0/7 unique hidden challenges completed. Rewards: 14 Iron-rank Integration points, 1 Iron-rank class Progression Mark, 1 piece of Iron-Grade gear. Time: 5/7 days remaining."

Wow, those rewards are greater than the base zone quest.

"Zone Quest Hidden Objective revealed: Complete the obstacle course challenge, 'The Collapse', using only your base attributes and movement skills. Use of any ability, spell or movement item will result in a failure of this challenge. This challenge may be attempted repeatedly. Requirements 0/1 collapsing buildings escaped.

"Your discovered skills which are allowed for this challenge are running, swimming, and climbing."

"Uhm. Does anybody else have a
