Challenges and Side Quests
Unique missions built for this fellowship: a mix of team play, lore nonsense, tactical banter, and entirely
avoidable bad decisions.
radio_button_checked The One Ring Protocol Individual
The groom wears the One Ring token all weekend. Caught without it: immediate penalty decided by the nearest witness.
mood_bad The Morgul Mark of the Nine Individual
Lowest score in any timed challenge bears the Mark for one hour: full Gollum rules—every burger is 'my precious'.
forum Council of Elrond Group
Each lad delivers one sentence: a real memory with Olly. Best line wins; a dead line buys a forfeit.
height The Witch-King's Measure Individual
Any time Olly uses height for tactical advantage (reach, photo front row, overhead pass), he must answer in a single ominous Witch-King line before normal speech resumes.
playing_cards Black Breath Bluff Group
At poker night, if your bluff is called and you lose the pot, you narrate the next deal in whispered Ringwraith style until the flop—then mercy.
groups The Nine Were Sent Team
Before each day segment, predict one chaos (late, wrong turn, burger meltdown). Closest team earns immunity from the next snack round; worst prediction owes the Nine a round.
target Gondor Marksmanship Trials Individual
At the range, call your confidence (low, medium, high) before first shots. Miss your boast badly and the group awards a temporary title until the next chapter.
photo_camera Photo Hunt of Middle-earth Team
Complete the list: dramatic skyline, cursed expression, improbable pose, one accidental masterpiece. Slowest team explains their worst photo in epic voice.
balance Quest for Fair Shares Group
No tabs, no freeloading, no vanishing wallets. Fall behind on fairness and you owe a short medieval apology to the table.

Practical Notes
payments
Money and Fairness
Most places are pay-on-day unless marked as already paid.
No tabs. Keep pace, settle fairly, and avoid wallet amnesia.
Fazenda has a £600 room minimum with Owen covering £30 per head.
mood
Banter Protocol
Olly burger obsession is legally recognised as a route-planning factor.
Any suspicious atmospheric event may trigger an IBS Omen point.
Cai's Gimli energy remains a strategic advantage in all arguments.
