Hot Tomato
In this one-of-a-kind quest invented by the Guild of Warriors, players pass a "Hot Tomato" around until there was only one warrior standing!

Instructions:
The quest begins with all players at the Entrance to the Fire Newts. As soon as the questmaster hands the tomato to someone, the quest has begun. The questmaster will cast "locate object tomato" every sixty seconds and record who currently has the tomato. Five seconds before the spell is cast, the questmaster will warn everybody (using yell) that the spell will soon be cast. After the spell is cast, the questmaster will also yell out the person who has the tomato.
If the same person has the tomato for two consecutive calls, the person may return to the surface and give the tomato back to the cleric, who will then transport the tomato to someone else. When a person is recorded as holding the tomato three times, that person is out of the game. He or she may return to the Entrance to the Fire Newts, but he or she must leave the quest area.
Due to the nature of this quest, it is very easy to cheat. If the tomato is "lost" by being passed to a non-playing person or some other means, all players must return to the surface so that a new tomato can be issued. The questmaster has the option of changing the scores if he or she suspects that a player is cheating by not following the rules, dropping or eating the tomato, etc. However, as this is intended as a Guild of Warriors quest, it is assumed that all players have a certain level of honour.
The objective of this quest is to NOT be the person holding the "hot" tomato. If you have the tomato, you should try to hand it to someone as fast as you can by finding another person and giving it to them. The quest takes place inside the Land of the Fire Newts, although any small low-level area where transport also works. All players must have the words "Hot Tomato" in their title, to identify them from other people who are not participating in the quest.
