Okay, so as you all know, the Maze is divided into 11 Sectors, each with its own Gate and mana type. With the exception of the Bone and Snow sectors, each sector is surrounded by two different mana sectors.
Now, each Champion was divided into a sector according to the mana types of their Guild, therefore ensuring that they do not get a penalty from the get go, however, since this is a Maze, they are bound to travel between sectors, usually after the end of a Trial.
For the first four Trials, you will only be in two different sectors (thus, Trial 1 and 2 you remain in the same sector, and then Trial 3 and 4 you are in another sector) After that, I will roll a D6 after each Trial, with two possible outcomes at present: 1) If I roll an even number (2, 4 or 6) you will go clockwise to the following sector, 2) If I roll an uneven number (1, 3 or 5) you will go in an anticlockwise direction to the following sector. NB: more options might form at a later date
The following spoiler will contain the information stating how any buffs or penalties influence each Champion (I will continuously update this list depending on the items/passives/etc you purchase)

In the case that you gain any passives or items, etc, I shall edit this table accordingly (It will also be added to the first DT post for quick reference) @AstralHunter, @Poopsie, @SpiritedWolfe, @Deskro, @Chaser, @15253, @CandyWizard, @Steggy, @LordZeus

@TheClockworkConjurer, I meant Trial One is exempt from supply consumption because everyone has already consumed the necessary supplies before entering the Maze. Only five characters (as specified on page 27) took supplies along with them to the Maze. Of course, if anybody feels I overlooked their character, they could always ask me (or you) to take another look.
@LordZeus, I shall be blunt. It appears to me you are resistant to change. When we tell you to change a scene, you have the annoying tendency to rephrase the scene, but still have the same thing happen. I objected to the ceremony because it appeared that Shade was receiving a blessing. That's fine now (though you barely changed anything), but you conveniently missed the part where I asked you not to have the Leonin as a temporary follower. A guide is allowed, but not a follower - so using the words "pledge" and "service" is forbidden. Please, change it.
(TCC, I ask that you handle any of LordZeus' affairs. Naturally, I am still willing to help with everything else.)
Also, LordZeus and @CandyWizard, I was a little confused. All your characters have the Light Knapsack, which does allow them to carry Moderate Supplies, whether now or later.
PS: TCC, do the staves negate the mana cost for all spells, or only the additional ones it allowed the user to acquire?
EDIT: To those who have posted and have yet to post, keep in mind for future posts that you must adhere to the descriptions of the other participants that posted before you. This is to ensure consistency. However, one could argue that I'm preaching to the choir, since all of you have improvised magnificently. Well done!

In regards to the staves- they only remove the mana cost/side effects of the spells gained with them. I shall later be adding grimoires and other spell-related items which can provide such buffs to all spells/abilities. I apologize for not specifying that in the shop.

@AstralHunter I thought you meant as a permanent follower. I didn't know that you objected to temporary too. I will change that though I don't see how it goes against anything. Ok?
@LordZeus, what @AstralHunter means is that the use of any words of a pledging, following, etc nature are not allowed at all, regardless of the status of the follower (temporary or permanent). They are only allowed once you purchase a follower, since there is no real shop in the Maze, those words will be the way of gaining the follower you purchased.
You might ask then- But what about Sybilla and that little goblin? Well, to that I have a simple answer: he was an object of the current Trial. He didn't lead her to a Key Scribe (like your Leonin friend) or follow her around, but was a Key Scribe himself. Also, she never used any words with the implication that he is a follower of any nature...
I hope you understand Astral's objection now.

I'd prefer not to, but unless someone else is willing to take him over (even only temporarily, like for a subplot or whatnot), I will be forced to do so... Such a shame, but meh... I don't blame you for not being able to cope with two, I understand it can become difficult.

I'd say I'm sad about his loss, but hey, that means the odds of one of my characters surviving is 11.76% before being in any real danger of elimination.

Eighth! I'm pretty sure I wrote more than double the required word count, but who cares - writing is fun. (And exhausting, of course; my hands are burning.) Now I just have to post for Lysander.

@15253, as long as you are before or on the deadline (Tuesday), I'll be happy... We still have 5 npcs to eliminate, so your characters don't have to focus too much on good scores at present (as long as you can catch up once our npcs are gone)
