Joining a Champion's Party was never an easy choice.
It was a well-known fact that Champions of the Gods and their party faced a tougher challenge when compared to normal climber groups as they ascended the tower.
Joining a Champion's Party meant putting one's own life on the line, as the journey to the top was fraught with more obstacles and dangers than usual.
As the Champion's group ascended, they frequently encountered unexpected difficulties. They had to deal with not only the challenges of the tower but also all the extra nuisance caused by internal political strife.
Followers of other gods and rival factions were constantly plotting against them, often resulting in these adversaries setting cheap traps and launching surprise attacks, aiming to derail the Champions' progress at every turn.
This made the ascent through the tower not only physically demanding but also mentally taxing.
