The Quest for the Golden Cup As citizens of the Kingdom of Aldoria of you have been called forth by your queen, Her Royal Majesty Henna and the king of the adjoining Kingdom of Andromeda, His Royal Highness Patrick to take part in a quest. This is no ordinary quest, it is one of extreme rewards! By retrieving the lost cup, you will gain unimaginable fame, glory and wealth. But alas, with glory and adventure comes equal parts danger! So we will only select a chosen few, to go as quickly as they can and retrieve what was taken from us. We have asked you to join a team of equal minded heroes, who are willing to partake in the greatest feat of our time. Good luck and may you find much success! Quest Rules: 1. Every week a member of the group will be asked to roll a die. They will go that many spaces on the game board to find out what happens next on their adventure. 2. The team will discuss how they will overcome the situation. Knowing each individual heroes strengths and weaknesses will help you with this. You must all agree on what happens with each character, as it will be key in making sure that all your stories match. 3. You will then work on weekly assignments from the point of view of your character. You will always be in contact with group members to ensure that there is consistency in the story. There are a number of choices for you to choose from for that week s assignment. Some assignments are to be done individually and others done as a group.
Assignment Choices: You must choose one of the following per week. You can not repeat! 1. Comic strip - individually, you will create a comic strip that depicts your story.

You must summarize the plot in one article, cover the weather in another, do a feature story on one of the more interesting things that happened in the situation you were in. Include an editorial and a collection of ads that would be pertinent to the story. 5. Skit -as a group, you will perform a skit showcasing what happens to your group for the weekly situation. You will create a script, have props and costumes. Acting and performing are important for this to be successful. 6. Interview- Record an interview with each of the characters in the book you read.

You may choose to do a "live" version of this. 7. Mobile- make a mobile showing pictures, characters and symbols of what happened in that situation. 8.
