Kirk: As the quest continues, it?s now time for Olmec to tell us about the Mathew's Sail. But everyone, pay close attention because your knowledge of the legend can bring you a step closer to Olmec's Temple.
Olmec: One of the more unknown explorers of the Exploration age was John Cabot. Unlike many other explorers, he was not famous or made great discoveries. In 1498, he sailed from England to Labrador and called it Newfoundland. When he went back, he wanted to sail again, so he asked for permission.
Cabot: Your majesty, will you fund my trip?
Olmec: he asked the King of England
King: Okay, but make some more discoveries
Olmec: replied the King. He was in luck, however and got four more ships from some merchants. In May of 1499, his ships set sail. One came back for repairs. The others never returned. The original ship, the Mathew sank. But legends has it that when the ship sank, the sail floated away. The sail is now in the temple. Your quest is to retrieve the sail and bring it back here.
Kirk: Thank you, Olmec. But tell us, where is the sail?
*Camera shows the Sail, and zooms out to show its location*
Olmec: The Sail of John Cabot can be found in The Dark Forest.
Kirk: Teams, you are standing on the Steps of Knowledge. In a minute, Olmec will ask you a question about the legend you just heard. If you think you know the answer, stomp down on the ancient marking in front of you. Go ahead, stomp on it!
