Character Name: Elizabeth "Lizzy" Speigel (aka Dakki Sigal) Obstacle artwork: Three lovingly-crafted personal-sized savory hand pies... which then interact with a fellow Lone Star student's much more physically-manifesting artwork. Meaning: Good food can do more than just nourish your body/a good meal will prepare you for the way ahead/Be ready to adapt to new circumstances How it works: There are three hand-sized savory pies, one for each competitor, and each has different ingredients. They're laid out on a table, each on their own plate, and there's a sign set up reading "Please take one". (The sign is enchanted to enforce this by unfurling a folded paper hand from behind to slap at anyone that tries to take more than one pie.) Of course, the pies are magical.
Pie one has a filling like a very thick chicken pot pie, with a slightly creamy filling that tastes of sage and rosemary and onion. Eating at least several bites of it and fully appreciating the flavor will make the person consuming it move more swiftly for a short while, with correspondingly better reflexes.
Pie two has a filling of beef and onion, stewed down with beer. It has a warm and peppery flavor, and eating at least several bites of it and reflecting on it will make the person that consumes it sturdier for a short while, resistant to impacts.
Pie three has a filling of squash and lentil and feta cheese, that is surprisingly meaty and savory in flavor. Eating at least several bites and reflecting on it will make the person who consumes it much more analytical and thoughtful for a short while, able to think things through much more quickly than normal.
Immediately after this snack break, there's a room full of heavy rubber balls of various sizes suspended at various heights. Nudging one is likely to set all of them off swinging and smacking and making it very hard to progress. (the meaning of this installation is "beware the consequences of your actions".) Champions are free to navigate this with their own skills, or to figure out the benefits their pie has granted them and use those to get past.
Difficulty Level: Normal, I suppose? With the benefit of having eaten a pie, it should be an exciting action-based challenge!
