[The Silver Monkey]

And all you need are a few generators from Random dot Org! I'll go through it round by round.

1. The Moat

This one's easy. Just place all of the team names (starting with the Red Jaguars and ending with the Silver Snakes) into the List Randomizer and randomize it. The first four teams listed move on to the Steps of Knowledge.

Alternately, use the list randomizer with two entries for each team. First four teams to have both of their entries listed move on to the steps.

2. The Steps of Knowledge

Same as the Moat, but without the two teams that were eliminated there. Top two teams advance to the Temple Games.

Also, use the Random Integer Generator to determine how many questions the two losing teams answered correctly.

Alternately, use the list randomizer with three entries for each team that made it this far. First two teams to have all three of their entries listed move on to the temple games.

3. The Temple Games

This one's easy, too. For each temple game, use the Dice Roller (roll two dice) to determine the result. Higher number gets the half/full pendant, and if the numbers are the same, both teams get the half/full pendant. In the event of a tie in pendants, roll again for the tiebreaker.

4. The Temple Run

This one's probably the most complex, if just for the amount of things you need to determine (though some only come into play depending on the amount of pendants the winning team has), although they all use the Random Integer Generator. I'll simplify it with a list, note that 1 = the first room going counterclockwise from the top rightmost room that can fit the criteria, and so on, going counterclockwise.

Artifact Location: 1 to 9
Guard Locations (3 integers): 1 to 10 (1 to 9 if the Jesters' Court is in play, unless it's the location of the artifact)
Half-Pendant Location: 1 to 12 (Only needed if the team has 1.5 pendants)
Half-Pendant Acquired: 1 to 2 (1 = Yes, 2 = No; Only needed if the team has 1.5 pendants)
Player Speed/Intelligence (2 integers and 2 randomizations): 1 to 10 (left number is speed, right number is intelligence)

Outcome: 1 to 3 if team has 2 pendants, 1 to 4 if team has fewer than 2 pendants

1 = Victory, 2 = Reached Artifact, 3 = Out of time, 4 = Guards (only applicable if the team has fewer than two pendants, and, if they have 1.5 pendants, didn't find the half pendant)

Blue defeats Red 1.5-.5

Blue successfully retrieves the artifact!

I hope I did this right.

For the wins and unsuccessful grabbings, you may want to include the mini exit path from the second player. Just a word of advice.

I have a question. How did the second player run into the Observatory, yet made it one room away from the artifact?

[The Viper]

I meant to have the run end in the swamp. I didn't even notice that I drew the line too far.

[The Silver Monkey]

For the wins and unsuccessful grabbings, you may want to include the mini exit path from the second player. Just a word of advice.

True, but I just prefer not to.

For the wins and unsuccessful grabbings, you may want to include the mini exit path from the second player. Just a word of advice.

Most people don't draw the return path.

Well, that's what I used to do with the random paths. And I used to see it done some in fanfics. Don't get me wrong, it's up to everyone what they want to do.

Oh, and here's my episode:

Moat:
1st Orange Iguanas
2nd Silver Snakes
3rd Blue Barracudas
4th Red Jaguars

Steps of Knowledge:
1st: Red Jaguars
2nd: Orange Iguanas
Silver: 2 Correct
Blue: 1 Correct

Temple Games:
Red: 1.5 Pendants
Orange: 1 Pendant

Temple Run:
Ran Out of Time
Artifact Location: Medusa's Lair
Guard Locations: Laser Light Room and Dark Forest
Half-Pendant Found?: No

Diagram:

[PurpleParrot319]

The Moat
Blue 1st, Orange 2nd, Purple 3rd, and Silver 4th. Red and Green eliminated.

SoK
Purple first, Orange second. Blue eliminated with two correct answers and Silver eliminated with two correct answers as well. This SoK was very competitive.

Temple Games
Orange gets left dice, Purple gets right.
1st game: Orange gets 5, Purple gets 4. 1/2 pendant for Orange.
2nd game: Orange gets 2, Purple gets 3. 1/2 pendant for Purple.
3rd game: Orange 2, Purple 1. 1 pendant to Orange. Orange beats Purple 1 1/2 to 1/2.

Temple Run
Before I give the results, I just want to say I used the last temple layout for season 2. I already had that part planned before hand. Also, I used Olmec's temple description for this layout to determine the room numbers. 1 = Ledges, 2 = Pit, 3 = Laser Lights, 4 = Mandarin Hand, 5 = Court, 6 = Forest, 7 = Shaft, 8 = Password, 9 = Shrine, 10 = Storeroom, 11 = Observatory, 12 = Crypt.

Team: Orange Iguanas
Artifact location: Laser Light Room
Guard locations: Shrine of the Silver Monkey and Dark Forest (I got 9, 6, and 9, so only two rooms I guess)
Half pendant: Mine Shaft (7), and it WAS acquired.
Outcome: Reached artifact! (2)
Diagram:


Wow, this took forever. I must say this layout was tough, but this Orange Iguanas team was stout.

Quick question. When it comes to designing the temple diagram, does it matter how we make it as long as it meets all the requisitions?

[The Silver Monkey]

Let's do this again.

Moat:

1. Red Jaguars
2. Blue Barracudas
3. Orange Iguanas
4. Green Monkeys

Red: 1 correct
Orange: 2 correct

Temple Games:

Blue: 1 pendant (W-W-L)
Green: 1 pendant (L-L-W)

Tiebreaker:

Green wins!

Temple:

Victory!
Artifact Location: Chamber of the Sacred Markers
Guard Locations: Crypt, King's Storeroom

More notes about my layout:

The half pendant was in the Mine Shaft of all places. It was on the ladder and the second player noticed it and grabbed it. It wasn't needed, but great eyes. From the Shrine, the Mine Shaft door AND the Password door opened. The artifact was grabbed with 6 seconds left. I also included how far the second player got once grabbing the item. Damn shame we couldn't get a win out of that.

Here's another one:

Moat:
1st Blue Barracudas
2nd Orange Iguanas
3rd Purple Parrots
4th Green Monkeys

Steps of Knowledge:
1st Green Monkeys
2nd Purple Parrots
Blue: 1 Correct
Orange: 0 Correct

Purple: 2 Pendants

Temple Run:
Ran Out of Time (Grabbed Artifact)
Artifact Location: Room of the Secret Password
Guard Locations: The Crypt, Medusa's Lair, Dark Forest
Half-Pendant Found?: N/A

Diagram:


* One quick note about the diagram, the artifact was picked up with about 20 seconds to go. Time just ran out in The Pit. Just in case you were wondering if anyone was confused.

Another one for your perusal:

Moat:

1. Orange Iguanas
2. Blue Barracudas
3. Red Jaguars
4. Silver Snakes

Steps:

1. Silver Snakes
2. Red Jaguars
Orange: 1 correct
Blue: 0 correct

Temple Games:

Silver: 1.5 (L-T-T)
Red: 2 (W-T-T)

Temple Run:

Ran out of time!
Artifact Location: King's Storeroom
Guard Locations: Tomb of the Headless Kings, Quicksand Bog, Room of the Secret Password

Diagram:

[PurpleParrot319]

Here's another one. I want to see if I can do this faster than before.

Moat:
1st. Blue
2nd. Silver
3rd. Green
4th. Purple
Red and Orange DNQ.

SoK:
1st. Silver
2nd. Blue
Green and Purple lose. Green: 0 right, Purple: 2 right. Purple gave it a great effort.

Temple Games:
Blue gets left dice, Silver get right dice.
1st game: Blue 6, Silver 2. Blue gets 1/2 pendant.
2nd game: Blue 5, Silver 5. Both teams get 1/2 pendant.
3rd game: Blue 5, Silver 5. Both teams get 1 pendant.
Blue beats Silver 2 to 1 1/2. Very competitive temple games.

Temple Run:
This time, I'm using season 3's layout. Again, 1st room Olmec describes is integer 1, so 1 = Crypt, 2 = Pit of the Pendulum, 3 = Storeroom, 4 = Chamber, 5 = Ancient Warriors, 6 = Shrine, 7 = Password, 8 = Bog, 9 = Forest, 10 = Court, 11 = Headless Kings, 12 = Ledges.

Team: Blue Barracudas
Artifact location: Shrine of the Silver Monkey
Guard locations: Ledges, Room of the Secret Password
Outcome: Reached artifact!
Diagram:


The Blue Barracudas had to put up with a lengthy layout here, mainly because they were forced down into the Ledges with a guard waiting. When the column got knocked down, the Chamber door opened, but the Headless Kings was chosen instead. Good move, except a temple guard was waiting in the Password Room. The team was not given access to any shortcuts either. If only they had more time, they would've won.
