The mission: Your story in Birmingham, AL

The Hammer Heist.

Vulcan, the Roman god of fire, is putting the final touches to a golden chariot with you, his apprentice, at his side. As Vulcan turned to his mighty hammer, the tool had vanished! "Mercury!" he cried. 

The god of trickery appeared, hammer in hand. 

"Can't catch me!" he shrieked as he jumped down to the mortal realm. "You must go after him and get my hammer" exclaimed Vulcan "or all the fires of Mount Olympus will rage out of control!" You take a deep breath and leap after him.
