After. I am giving you time to plan if you'd like. I know some people like to plan ahead.

C | 907 comments Spreadsheet is updated with both tasks complete. There are cell errors on author and page count though? What am I doing wrong there?

I know. Don't worry about it. It doesn't affect anything. I couldn't get it to clear without redoing the columns completely. I fixed it in the next tab.

Quest #1

A prized 'sack of flour' has been stolen from you, but you've tracked it down to a highly secure bank. The bank will not give it back to you. Do you give up, or plan a heist?

If you give up: spell out CONCEDE
C
O
N
C
E
D
E

If you plan a heist.
Step 1: Gather your heist materials
Minimum 4 books - items should be on covers or in the title

Step 2: Security - security guards & alarms
Read a book with a security guard character (to distract him)
Read a book with the word alarm in the text (to disable it)
{Create your own additional tasks as needed to fit your plan}

Step 3: Execute your plan - tell me your plan
Use book titles BUT please use filler words as needed to tell me your plan. Minimum of 4 books.

Ah okay. Usually the contents look wonky for bad errors, so seemed okay, but wasn't sure if I'd confused it lol.

Quest 1 A
Half baked schemes don't get you very far in a bank heist. You got as far as the door with the bag of flour before you realized your mistake. It was the decoy bag and inside of it was a dye pack that exploded the moment that you exited the door. You are now covered in colored flour.

Unfortunately, the bag of flour that you really wanted is locked up tight in a secure vault. Why? Because it is a magical bag of flour that never ends. It can end world hunger which it makes it very valuable indeed.

When the flour exploded, the guards came running. They are now laughing and pointing at you. They seem to be enjoying the show. What is your next move? Do you concede? Do you have a new plan?

Quest 1B

You begin crawling towards the dust cloud. Unfortunately, the bank had previously hired a wizard to be on their staff. The wizard casts a windfall spell sending the dust cloud right out of the door before you get to it. The guards see you with the flour. Do you fight your way out? Or do you have another plan?

You have failed this quest.

Quest #2

After a night in a tavern, each member of the party wakes up in the body of another member with no memory of what happened. One party member's body is gone, however, their mind instead inside a sentient item... a bag of beans.

Are these magic beans? Maybe, maybe not; plant them and find out. Worst case scenario, you could eat them. Do you eat the beans? If they are magic beans, how do you use them? Can you get everyone back in their bodies?

If you eat the beans, spell out BEANS
B
E
A
N
S

If you think they are magic beans, start here
Plant the beans
Read a book with dirt on the cover
Read a book with all the letters of BEANS in the title
Read a book with water on the cover
Read a book with a sun on the cover

Step 2: Find a solution to the body problems listed above. Use book titles BUT please use filler words as needed to tell me your solution. Minimum of 4 books. (everyone will do step 2 no matter the choices above)

For those of you playing solo... you will play this as if you were a member of the party experiencing this issue. How would you solve this? You can play as any member the party, one that is in another body or the beans. But you must present a solution.
