Scavenger Hunt (private)

Every so often, Chiron organized a scavenger hunt and picked ten random people to be in it. There were randomized teams; five groups of two. The winners would receive a drachma award.

Tyler was at the edge of the forest, not knowing anything about his partner yet. He was wearing a white t-shit and Under Armour shorts with tennis shoes on. Tyler had a few weapons hanging from the belt on his waist. He had a backpack full of food, like granola bars and some Gatorade. His blonde hair was slicked back and he had sunglasses on. He looked at the time. The buzzer to start the hunt happened in 4 minutes. Tyler would go, partner or not.

She stood there for what seemed like forever. Where was her partner? Cassia stood in the woods and read a book. Nearby, stood a boy. Cassia hadn't given him a second glance. The realization hit her. He was her partner. She inspected him. Would he be a useful partner? Cassia really wanted the reward. She was very competitive and wanted to be the best. Exhaling, she approached him. "Are you my partner? I'm Cassia, daughter of Thanatos," she said quietly.

"Oh, yeah, you are. I recognize your name. I'm Tyler, son of Zeus. Well, I guess we better come up with a strategy, then? The hunt starts in less than 2 minutes," Tyler said. "What type of powers do you have?"

Cassia nodded. She had heard of him. Zeus kids weren't exactly common. "Yeah." She racked her brain for strategies. If she was on her own, she would probably just take it one clue at a time. "Well, my powers won't help, unless the scavenger hunt is death related." Cassia already knew his powers. They related to Zeus, of course.

Tyler nodded. "OKay, let's get to the first clue and then come up with a plan. Maybe we should split apart? Nah, that'd be stupid."

Chiron cleared his throat. "The hunt is about to begin. The first clue is that what you are looking for is within the ground. Good luck." He blew the horn, and the hunt started.

Tyler raced into the forest. "Should we just randomly start digging up the ground?"

Cassia nodded again. "Within the ground? That could be a lot of places. The oracles cave, bunker nine..." Cassia started to list off quietly. She didn't want the other teams to steal her ideas. "What do you think?"

"I say we check the bunker. It's a good guess, at least," Tyler started running in the direction of the bunker. "Where in the bunker's also a concern, though."

"Ok," Cassia nodded. "That's where it would be useful to be a child of Tyche," she muttered. "Let's go." With those to words, she started to jog to the bunker. Cassia was quite fast, and she wanted to be faster than the team's.
