As if to initiate the competition, the Armadas will host a mock naval battle as a kind of exercise between the two. To keep things fair, no real ammunition is to be used, and anyone caught cheating will have a hole blasted directly into their ship and seized. Crews are especially invited to try and show off their skills. Crews must figure out or create substitute ammunition to fire at their "enemies." Could be food, silverware, liquids (not the rum!!), laffy taffy, silly string, confetti—whatever they can think of. It is also possible to board each other's ships and "fight" one another, but again no real weapons or lethal magic can be used. Instead, they must use "prop" weapons, and the Armadas will have toy weapons available for those who need them. Remember, this is all in good fun!

SHARED OBJECTIVES. These objectives can be done with opposing Armada members, or they can be done between the same members. Whether one can trust their partner not to backstab them, well, that's just part of the fun.

🏺 Collect the artifacts. A simple scavenger hunt where each side will try to find and catalog as many different items and artifacts as they can. Most will be easy to find, but others may try to look in hard to reach places to see if they can find any hidden treasures.(There is no specific list, feel free to be creative and submit findings during AC!)
🐗 Clearing out creatures. While the area is mostly safe, there are still wild animals and creatures from the forest that roam through the overgrown brush. Wild boars, giant insects like trap door spiders, mischievous pixies or sprites to name a few. Some are friendlier than others and may be easier to shoo away or avoid, while others may need some help fighting back. Might as well work together!
🏃 Stop looters. Whether they are defectors from either side (most likely Corsair) or unaffiliated individuals who are pretending to be part of the group, there are those who try to steal the artifacts. Stopping and bringing them in (dead or alive) will be worth a lot of points, so try and team up to score big! (Or a Corsair might try to steal again, always hard to say with them.)
🕳️ Pitfalls. While there are no real "traps" around, there are places where the ground may give way or a structure may suddenly collapse and trap someone inside. As a show of good faith, work together and help each other.

PALADIN OBJECTIVES. These objectives are for Paladins only, however Corsairs could try to disrupt them from succeeding.

🥷 Infiltrate. Disguise as a Corsair and beat them at their own game. Give them false leads, learn of what plans they have to alert other Paladins, and basically make them feel like a fool for being duped.
🐎 Repair security golems. Remains of what look to be some kind of mechanical winged horses can be found throughout the area. Repairing these will allow them to move and act as security to help keep the site secure.
🗿 Wishing orbs. It is rumored there are white orbs that are capable of granting small wishes to those who hold it. This is dubious at best, but the higher ups are concerned and want as many collected as possible for the Corsairs catch wind. (Note: Those who find and hold these orbs will discover they don't grant all wishes but only small earnest, hopeful ones.)

CORSAIR OBJECTIVES. These objectives are for Corsairs only, however Paladins could try to disrupt them from succeeding.

📑 Steal research notes. It may be underhanded, but that's the Corsair life! Steal or copy research notes from the Paladins to try and get a leg up on the other side.
🪤 Trap a Paladin. For extra brag points, try and trick and trap a Paladin somewhere embarrassing.
💎 Dark crystals. Artifacts are great, but treasure is better. Surely they won't mind if a few gems and jewels are taken? There are also black crystals that are rumored to help cast dark elemental spells including curses and hexes. Now wouldn't that be useful? (Note: Small fragments can be found that do seem capable of creating dark elemental spells, but they are minor with short term effects. )

🌿 Vine swing. Some structures can only be reached by swinging via vines over large gaps between ridges, or even between the tall buildings themselves. Just be careful as some may be weaker than they appear and break.
🧗‍♂️ Climbing. If stairs aren't available, ropes, scaffolding, and natural ledges and hand holds may be the only other options. See who can get to the top or the highest point faster.
🍄 Bouncing Mushrooms. There are large mushrooms that are not only large enough for one to stand on, but have such strong elasticity that will allow anyone to jump several feet upwards. They are found everywhere, including by the tall structures of the ruins and cliff sides. Use these to try to get to the top to enter places that can't be climbed easily.
🌉 Crossing Bridges. The "floating temples" will be difficult to access, particularly when the bridges that once reached them are broken. There are a few different ways to earn points here: 1) find a way to remake the bridge; 2) fashion a hang glider and either catch a draft or use wind magic to get across; 3) hop across strange clouds that are just solid enough to jump on before they disappear (watch out for the storm clouds that could break right away); 4) use some other method!

Throughout the larger floating temples there are strange indentations around the doors and it becomes clear that something is required to be placed into them. There are special tapir shaped stones that come in white and black scattered throughout, sometimes even right next to the door. One of each must be placed into these indentations for the door to open. However, the moment the stone is placed, a unique vision will appear that is visible to all. The white stone will create a vision based on one's hopes, dreams, and aspirations. The black stone will create a vision based one's weaknesses, fears, and sadness. In addition, once a person has placed one type of stone, they will not be able to place the same type until they've placed the other. Fortunately, these visions are brief and only last a few seconds, but may still make for awkward conversation…

👥 Shadow forms. The fog will start to change and take on the form of something from the person's memory. It could be a person, an animal, or even a place, and the affected individual will see these shadow forms as real. They're just hallucinations, but to them the form they see is the same as the real thing and they are all good things. However, others who are not affected will just see the strange fog shapes. Even creepier, if the fog is taking on the form of a person, a voice can be heard but it's distorted and unreal. Either pull the person away or try to destroy the fog to break them out of the trance. If not, the person will remain lost in that place, drawn in by the pleasant feelings the hallucinations bring.

💫 Jumbled memories. Either in conjunction with the hallucinations or completely separate, staying too long in the fog can also make one forgetful. It will start subtle, such as briefly forgetting why they are here or who they are with, until things become more jumbled to the point of forgetting who they are. Should anyone be found in this state, they must be taken out quickly and the effect will eventually wear off.

💣 Fog spheres. Turns out, this fog may not be so natural after all. Scattered around the forest and particularly up on the cliffs where the fog is thickest, there are strange spherical devices that are creating the fog. Find and destroy these to lessen the fog in the area. Unfortunately, this fog covers most of the island, and even after destroying the sphere and trying to disperse the fog will only have it creep right back in. Perhaps there's another source out there…

🌷 Sweet dreams. There is a beautiful field of flowers that has such a lovely aroma…that may make one feel sleepy. Should someone drift asleep, they will find themselves having pleasant dreams, which doesn't sound like a bad thing—until they don't wake up and risk falling asleep for eternity. One way to find a sleeping person is by seeing a baby tapir floating above them. The tapir can be seen sniffing and snuffling around their head and can be shooed away if they don't fly off first. Rescue the person before getting caught by the flowers' sweet fragrance. Methods to counteract the scent are possible to make! One could also burn the flowers, but then the baby tapirs will fly in and cry about it. Loudly.

☁️ Cloud Riders. There is a strange area by the tall cliffs that have small clouds drifting around them. Turns out they are actually quite "solid" enough for someone to step onto and even sit on. They are also the best way up the cliffs, where there are numerous caves and signs of ruin structures. There are two types of clouds: fluffy white ones that will provide a slow but relaxing ride, and dark thunderclouds that will go in random directions and zip and zag here and there while threatening to drop rain on anything below it. Perhaps some people may figure out a way to control them. Race each other to earn more points!

🚩 Lost flags. The various structures on the cliffs are actually small towers that seemed to be used as watch posts. While there are some artifacts and weapons found, there are also a number of tattered flags and pennants scattered around. They have turned black and touching them brings a wave of grief and hopelessness. But there are those that still have some of the colorful patterns with what looked to be a horned horse. Perhaps cleaning and repairing them may reveal more about who lived here.

🪶 Feather fall. Winged horses can be found at the top of the cliffs. They will be wary and stay away from the adventurers, however their feathers are said to help keep nightmares away and induce pleasant dreams. Since the horses will be hostile and refuse to be friendly to anyone, find a way to collect the feathers. However, should someone try to collect a feather by either harming or killing the horse, the feather will turn black and plague them with nightmares instead.
