FOG: Well, this is nice surprise! I can?t wait to see the OUT-COME!  We bee back to see if teamwork can outsmart the temple guards!

THE TEMPLE RUN:

FOG: I?m still in shock that Olmec has decided to allow one number of each team to enter the temple. But before we began?Olmec will tell you about his temple?which might get you a clue to get how get to the Last Gift of Mr. Scrooge out of the temple.




OLMEC: You could start out by crawling though the Ancient Sewer (1) or running into and ringing one of the three bells in The Bell Tower (12). If you lucky, you may enter the Mysterious Hallway of Stairs (2). You could head up into the Mirror Room. (3) Spin the mirror, which might open the path to the Witch Lair (4). Toss the two snakes into the pot and you may land in the Skeleton?s Room (5). Put the head and the two hands on the skeleton?and you may be heading the Shrine of the Golden Monkey (6). Put together the golden monkey and you may be entering the Temple Bank (7). Spin the right safe?s wheel and you may be entering the Room of Power (. Connect the cords to the Power Orb and you may be entering the Room of the Four Moons (9). Push down on the right phrase of the Moon and you may be entering the Rain Forrest (10). Look for the keys to the door in the tree?but beware a Temple Spirit might be a tree. Get out of that room and you will be King?s Storeroom (11). Smash the clay pots to find the keys. Find the correct key that lead you back to the Mirror Room or Witch Lairs, jump across the stairs, either run across the Bell Tower or re-crawl though the Ancient Sewer back to the gates. The choices are you and you are alone. You have been given 2 ?Pendent of Life? medals by me. Who?s going first?

JESSICA: I AM!

OLMEC: Very well, Jessica.  When Kirk gets the signal, run into the temple, and make your away to the gown. They are three Temple Guards assigned to protect three rooms. If you meet up with them?you must give up a Pendent of Life. If you are caught with out a pendent, it will be Sarah?s turn in the temple. If you get the gift, all the door will mysterious unlock?and the temple guards will vanish! Remember, the choices are up to you. If you bring out the gown out of the temple in 3 minutes, you will be handsomely reward?and here?s how...

Fog: I hope England is calling for them! Remember, Jessica and Sarah, you must to get the Temple Bank where the Last Gift of Mr. Scrooge lays. Lower your gates, Olmec. (Olmec does so.) Set the clock for 3:00 minutes. On your mark, get set and go!
(Jerrica crawls into the Ancient Sewers and opens a path to the Mysterious Hallway of Stairs with 2:55 on the clock.)

(Jerrica opens up the path to Skeleton?s Room with 2:49 on the clock.)

(Jerrica puts the head and the two hands on the giant skeleton and finished with 2:45 on the clock. Jerrica tries the door way to Shine/Skeleton door,  but it?s still locked,  Jerrica opens up the path to the Witch?s lair ?and have to give a temple guard a pendent of life which holds up until the 2:39 mark. Then, Jerrica tosses the two snakes into the witch?s pot?and open a path at 2:30 mark)

(Jerrica tries the King/Witch Storeroom?s door?but it?s locked?so she ends up into the Mirror Room. She spins the Mirror Room?and just she heard the King/Mirror path open up?and another Temple Guard show up at 2:10 mark.)

(Sarah runs in?following Jerrica?s path ending in King Storeroom with 1:50 left on the clock.)

(Sarah has a ball crashing the jars in King?s Storeroom?and finding the keys?and tries the first post?which opens the path to the Rain Forrest. She tries the first tree?and gets a key?and she uses it on the Shrine/Bank door, which opens up?and she disappears from the Rain Forrest at the 1:10 mark.)

(Sarah appears in the Temple Bank and grabs the cane of Mr. Scrooge at 0:59 at the clock. She runs like lighting though the Shrine of the Sliver Monkey, the Skeleton Room, , Mysterious Hallway of Stair?and crawl like a evil snake though the Ancient Sewers?and comes to the Temple gate at 0:30 left on the clock..)

Summary:

At the start, this episode looked to be a normal episode of Legends of the Hidden Temple, they were no Christmas tree or Christmas lights anywhere on the set?even if the legend was about familiar Christmas figure: Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickson?s ?A Christmas Carol?. But at the end of the Temple Games?Olmec surprised even Kirk with?he allowed one member of the team that were in the Temple Games to enter the temple. He also gave Jessica and Sarah two full pendants of life.

By the way, Kirk states that he put his foot in his mouth during the hunt for the Gown of the Bamboo Princess. This must have been film after that one. Kirk stated the following during the temple ruin when Jessica meet with her first temple guard showed up??I hate the temples guards like I hate Christmas scrooges!? and then he stated when Jerrica got her second temple guard: ?Jerrica, looks like you out of there like a melted Frosty! Sarah, make like Rudolph, the Red Nose-Reindeer!? Sarah did just that?and finished the temple run.

---THE END--

Well, since it was the Christmas season?I wanted a temple run that have a Christmas feel to it. It was a toss up between ?The Used Wrench of Santa Claus? and ?The Last Gift of Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge?. Also, I wanted a real Christmas fight in the temple game?and so I decide to use the Green Monkey and Red Jaguars as the members. I also decide to have Olmec allow one member of each team?and give one full pendent each.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
Dr. Thinker
