This test is designed to be a competitive test. The idea is to have multiple people who are not in a group looking for the spirit of Khonsu at the same time. Do you as a player take the 5% favor or try for 12% favor? Are you a real risk taker and are you shooting for 25% favor? All of these decisions play into your actions.

The spirit of Khonsu arrives in Egypt at 6PM and departs at 6AM. Players build ceremonial bonfires at Humble priest altar locations (within 20 coords) while Khonsu is in Egypt. One Ceremonial bonfire per player per game night. Maximum of 2 Ceremonial bonfires per Humble Priest altar. Visually a Ceremonial Bonfire looks the same as a regular 25 wood bonfire. At any time during the night players may add as many herb types as desired. Maximum of 3 deben per herb is permitted.

The herbs hold a balance of sweetness which has been known to attract both insects and the spirit of Khonsu. For this reason, it is imperative for Egyptians to know the herbs and the manner in which each interacts with each other.

===Scoring===
The player would need to make 7 different Tiara's. Each Tiara would contain 1 Huge gem. 2 Large gems, 4 Medium gems and 8 small gems for a total of 17 gems. Similar to the Oyster Catcher, players must show the Tiara to the scientist at the University of the Human Body. The scientist would inform the players by popup which size and gem type is in the correct slot. All gems removed from the Tiara are destroyed. Players may start with the Huge gem of choice. Successful completion of each Tiara would raise perception by 1. (Perception being what is needed to detect ore.) Tiaras completed with Huge gem type cannot be repeated. The order of the large, medium and small gems are completely random.

At 6AM Khonsu lights all bonfires (including regular bonfires) with 20 coords of all Humble Priest altar and tallies the score. The scoring is a follows: for every "positive" attribute (example: scent of lavender) 2 points are awarded. For every "negative" attribute (example: Taste of Camel dung) 1 point is deducted.

The player has the option of taking the charcoal or taking the insects. The type of insects attracted will be dependent on the terrain in the immediate area. Ceremonial bonfires built in areas without flora will attract ground dwelling insects. Ceremonial bonfires built near water will attract water dwelling insects. The priority of insects attracted is:

  • Herb
  • Crop
