===First task===
==Challenge Text==
*The first task is to make a sandwich, using only the power of your mind. 2 [[Mysticality]] is the bare minimum to succeed; Failures have been observed as high as 8 Mysticality. Higher Mysticality is much more likely to pass.
*Reward: Access to [[The Barrel full of Barrels]], [[Brie, the Trainer|Brie the Trainer]], and [[The Wok of Ages]] (if you have the [[Transcendental Noodlecraft]] skill), as well as several items (see below).
*Before attempting the test:
:Gorgonzola, the leader of the League of Chef-Magi, nods to you as you approach him. "In order to join the League, <name>, you must first complete a task I have designed to test your aptitude in the ways of Mysticalness."


:He points to a nearby table, which is covered in sandwich fixins.
*''Initial text:''


:"Make me a sandwich, using only the power of your mind..."
"You wish to join the League of Chef-Magi?" Gorgonzola asks, looking you up and down. "Very well, but first you must prove your abilities."
{{Button|Make the Sandwich (1)}}
*Failing the test:
:You concentrate on the fixins, but only succeed in making a mess.


:Gorgonzola looks at you sadly.
"How do I do that?" you ask.


*Completing the test:
"Not far from here, in the Haunted Pantry, there resides a poltersandwich. You..."
:You concentrate on the fixins. They rise into the air and coalesce into a perfectly formed sandwich.


:"Delicious," says Gorgonzola. "You are now an Initiate of the League of Chef-Magi.
"A what?"


:He hands you a few items, adding "These may come in handy. If you need more, you can acquire more of them at the Barrel Full of Barrels, in the Big Mountains. I'll mark it on your map.
"A poltersandwich. A particularly angry manifestation of a sandwich ghost."

===Second task===
* The second task is to guess a number. 7 [[Mysticality]] is the bare minimum to succeed; Failures have been observed as high as 13 Mysticality. Higher Mysticality is much more likely to pass.
*Reward: The [[Bitchin' Meatcar Quest]].
*Before attempting the test:<br>
:Gorgonzola smiles benevolently at you as you approach. "Are you ready for your second task, Initiate? Here it is: I am thinking of a number between 1 and 100. If you can tell me what number it is, I will give you permission to use the League's meatcar.
{{Button|Guess the Number (1)}}
*Failing the test:<br>
:You send out psychic feelers into Gorgonzola's brain.


:"42?" you ask.
"Only the ''really'' delicious ones. I want you to find and tame this particular poltersandwich, and return here with it."


:"Wrong."
*''Followup text: ''
*Completing the test:<br>
:You send out psychic feelers into Gorgonzola's brain. The answer comes to you almost immediately.


:"[[eleven|11]]," you say.
Gorgonzola looks up as your return. "Have you captured the poltersandwich?"


:Gorgonzola smiles broadly. "Well done. You may now use the guild meatcar. Blaine will tell you where he parked it."
"No, not yet. To be honest, I'm still having some trouble with the concept of a sandwich ghost."


===Third task===
"Many foods can produce ethereal spirits," he says, "particularly when baked goods are involved. Just last week, I got called to the Mall, south of the Border, to exorcise a cinnabonshee."
* The third task is to defeat the Chief Chef at Wizard's Hangman. 12 [[Mysticality]] is the bare minimum to succeed; Failures have been observed as high as 15 Mysticality. Higher Mysticality is much more likely to pass.
*Before attempting the test:<br>
:"Only one task remains, Initiate. To become a full member of the League of Chef-Magi, you must defeat me at the game we Magical types like best -- Wizard's Hangman."
{{Button|Draw the Gallows (1)}}
*Failing the test:<br>
:You play several rounds of Wizard's Hangman against Gorgonzola, and he trounces you soundly.


:"Come back when your Magicalness (and your vocabulary) is more developed."
"I guess if I wanted to live the life of a sane person, I wouldn't be trying to join this guild."
*Completing the test:<br>
:After several games of Wizard's Hangman, you emerge victorious.


:Gorgonzola bows to you. "Congratulations, <name>."
"That's the spirit!"


===Fourth task===
*''Returning with an [[exorcised sandwich]]''
* The fourth task is to pull 10 meat out of the Chief Chef's ear. 17 [[Mysticality]] is the bare minimum to succeed; Failures have been observed as high as 24 Mysticality. Higher Mysticality is much more likely to pass.
*Reward: Access to [[Gouda's Grimoire and Grocery]].
*Before attempting the test:<br>
:Gorgonzola nods at you. "Well met, fellow Chef. To gain entrance to our guild's grocery store, you must again prove your worth. Your challenge is thus: Pull 10 Meat out of my ear."
{{Button|Pull the Meat (1)}}
*Failing the test:<br>
:You try to conjure the requested Meat, but lose your concentration. A pile of ears falls to the ground beneath Gorgonzola's meat.
:
:He grimaces disapprovingly.
*Completing the test:<br>
:You deftly conjure 10 Meat and pull it from behind Gorgonzola's ear.


:"Nicely executed," he says. "Now you may shop at our store."
You hand the captured poltersandwich to Gorgonzola. "Well done!" he says, as he seals the ghostly sandwich within a rune-etched plastic baggie and puts it in the fridge. "You are now an official member of the League of Chef-Magi. Welcome to the club!"


===On subsequent visits===
He winks at you with a broad grin, then after a brief pause, adds, "You know. Like a club sandwich."
:You have already passed all of the challenges of your Guild.

"Right. Got it," you say.

Challenge Text

  • Initial text:

"You wish to join the League of Chef-Magi?" Gorgonzola asks, looking you up and down. "Very well, but first you must prove your abilities."

"How do I do that?" you ask.

"Not far from here, in the Haunted Pantry, there resides a poltersandwich. You..."

"A what?"

"A poltersandwich. A particularly angry manifestation of a sandwich ghost."

"A sandwich ghost? Sandwiches have ghosts?"

"Only the really delicious ones. I want you to find and tame this particular poltersandwich, and return here with it."

  • Followup text:

Gorgonzola looks up as your return. "Have you captured the poltersandwich?"

"No, not yet. To be honest, I'm still having some trouble with the concept of a sandwich ghost."

"Many foods can produce ethereal spirits," he says, "particularly when baked goods are involved. Just last week, I got called to the Mall, south of the Border, to exorcise a cinnabonshee."

"I guess if I wanted to live the life of a sane person, I wouldn't be trying to join this guild."

"That's the spirit!"
