"Tanks and Fighters step forward! The rules are simple," the elven announcer called.
"You will face six rooms. Each room contains a unique challenge. All solutions require the skills of both team members—fail to cooperate, and you fail the challenge. The team that solves the most rooms in the allotted time wins."
The two teams waited on opposite ends.
Arthur stood with his arms crossed, a bored sneer on his face.
Beside him stood Gregor. He cracked his knuckles and stared ahead with grim focus.
On the other end of the clearing, Eledrin, sharp eyes scanning the structure before him that had appeared.
Calm confidence radiated from his stance.
Vaelor was silent.
Arthur glanced at the opposing team and scoffed. "Great. We're up against these losers."
Gregor shot him a side glance but said nothing.
"I mean, c'mon," Arthur continued.
"It's a puzzle gauntlet. We're going to walk through this thing. Just follow my lead and don't screw anything up."
