Week 4 - Supernatural
The end of October / start of November marks Halloween and Bonfire Night in the UK. Kids dress up as scary monsters and go trick-or-treating. We watch fireworks and light bonfires. So in the spirit of the season, and also because I like scary movies, lets finish off the lucid challenge with some spooky themed tasks.
Scare a dream character. Sneak up on someone and make them jump. Or maybe you’ll transform into a monster in front of their eyes. Send them running in terror! 20 points.
Set off a firework. Time to light up the sky/room or wherever you happen to find yourself. No need for it to be night time, or even outdoors, but you could potentially grab the stargazing task points as well if the conditions are right. 30 points.
Slay a vampire. Time to unleash your inner Buffy and take out those blood sucking monsters. Fighting it isn’t enough, you must cause the vampire to suffer ‘final death’ i.e. stake through the heart, behead it, sunlight, fire, etc. 30 points.
Transform into a wolfman. (And then of course you should let out a blood-freezing howl at the moon.) The action team seemed pretty keen on werewolves during week one, so this time I want a proper eight foot tall, hairy, (wo)man-wolf, sharp-toothed vicious-clawed monster. Arrrrooooooooooo! (Here’s an example picture.) This transformation doesn’t count for the druid task. 40 points.
Meet a professional monster hunter. Scooby Doo, where are you? What about Van Helsing, Ichabod Crane or Sam & Dean Winchester? Mulder and Scully? The Ghostbusters? 30 points.
Enter a haunted house, tomb or graveyard. I’m afraid of no ghost! While you’re there, why not try to complete the monthly quest? 40 points.
Investigate a mystery. Preferably an X-Files / supernatural/paranormal themed mystery, but not essential. 30 points.
Banish a demon. I don’t mind how you get rid of the demon, this is the puzzle team so use your brains! You could try a full on Latin-chanting exorcism, a spell, a magical demon slaying weapon. Maybe you’ll just kick it in the shin and make it run away. No doubt your incredible lucid powers will do the job. 40 points.
Team Advantage Task
Frankenstein - Turn a DC into a monster. You could force the change on them with willpower, or maybe turn yourself into a vampire/werewolf/zombie and bite them. Create a virus and infect them ‘Resident Evil’ style, or raise a corpse from the dead with lightning… whatever works for you. 40 points.
LC Host Task - Trick or treat? I’ve got a bucket of sweets/candy that grant special powers and transformations - just the thing to help you finish the task of your choice. Are you brave enough to try one? Find me and ask for a treat, if you dare! 40 points
Good luck everyone!
