It’s time for your first Temple Mission. The winners of this competition will pick which two teams go into the Temple of Fate.

In this competition, you’ll be given a list of four 7-letter words - however, they will be written in an obscure alien language, forcing you to use a translation sheet to decipher what the words are.

Then, you must take the 28 letters that form your four words to try and create the longest news word possible, taking care not to use any letters more times than they appear in your translated words. You cannot just use a word you have translated as your word creation!

Before you start, you’ll be asked to pick four numbers between 1 and 20. Your selected numbers will decide what four words you get, but to curb coercing between teams, all words will switch numbers each time for all teams.

When you are BOTH ready to play, get one of you to DIRECT MESSAGE me on Skype. If I am not on it will ping my phone, and I can come get your numbers. Then I will send your words to you both on Tengaged, starting a 5 minute timer. You must translate all four words AND get ONE of you to send me your newly formed one within those 5 minutes. The first word sent to me by your team via Tengaged will be your final submission. No submitting via Skype

The team with the LONGEST word submission will win this Temple Mission. In the event of a tie, the team that achieved the highest scoring word in a game of Scrabble will win. If that still doesn’t break it, it will be the team that submitted with the most time left to spare in their 5 minutes.

Purple Team, as you have the Samadhi, your handicap means you will only get 4 minutes in which to complete the same task as everyone else.
