Season 1, Episode 4: The Silver Thimble of Betsy Ross

[The camera maneuvers thru a jungle, and then stops at Olmec.]
>>Olmec: Legends of The Hidden Temple!
[The camera twists its way thru the Temple, showing the temple rooms]
>>Olmec: With Your guide, Kirk Fogg! And here he is now!
[Kirk comes in thru the temple stairs]
>>Kirk: Thank you! Thank you very much! Thank you, Olmec! Welcome to Legends of the Hidden Temple. The rooms are filled with lots of treasures that're protected by mysterious Mayan temple guards. Only Olmec knows about each of the treasures in his Temple. Which one are gonna hear about today?
>>Olmec: The legend of the Silver Thimble of Betsy Ross.
>> Kirk: Oh! The Silver Thimble of Betsy Ross! Well, the legend is set, and one of these 6 teams will have a chance to retrieve the thimble...
[camera panes to each of the teams in order]
>> Kirk: Will it be...
The Red Jaguars? [the blond boy & the brunette girl applaud along]
The Blue Barracudas? [the medium brown-haired boy & the auburn girl applaud along]
The Green Monkeys? [the brown-haired boy & the dark blonde girl applaud along]
The Orange Iguanas? [the black boy & the platinum-blonde girl applaud along]
The Purple Parrots? [the blond boy & the dark-brown girl applaud along]
or The Silver Snakes? [the dark-blond boy & the strawberry blonde girl applaud along]

>>Kirk: They're gonna have to pass thru some pretty tough, physical and mental tests, and in the end, only one team will have the right to enter Olmec's Temple. But 1st, they must cross the Moat, and Olmec's gonna tell 'em how they have to do it today.
>>Olmec: Before you hang the remains of an ancient columnnade. When Kirk gives the signal, both of you must grab onto the first platform and swing to the next one. Then, continue your way across the Moat. If either of you falls, leaves one player on the previous platform, or if a knee touches the platform, you must both go back and start again. When you have reached the other side, jump off, run over and hit the gong!
[Kirk rings the Silver Snakes' gong]
>>Olmec: The 1st 4 teams to ring their gongs will go on to the next round!
>>Kirk: Alright! Teams, are you ready?
>>Teams: YEAH!!!!
>>Kirk: Olmec, are you ready?
>>Olmec: 100 percent!
>>Kirk: Okay, teams! On your mark, get set, GO!!!
[The teams all swing onto the first platform, they're all pretty much on the same page, until Blue and Silver start having trouble on the transition; Red, Orange and Purple get to the 3rd one whereas Green gets off the last one and rings their gong, and then Red and Silver follow close behind and lock in, 21 seconds later, Blue and Orange scramble to hit their gong while Purple falls and is sent back, the final gong sound is heard.]
>>Kirk: That's it! We have our 4 teams right here! Silver Snakes, they got across swiftly! Goin' onto the Steps of Knowledge are the Silver Snakes! And the Orange Iguanas! And the Green Monkeys! And the Red Jaguars! The Blue Barracudas & the Purple Parrots gave it a great effort, too. They're not going away empty-handed, we've got a great gift for 'em, and here's what it is!
[Andy, Emma, Derek & Dawn will be getting $50 gift certificates to Pacsun.]

[The Dark Enforcer]

Um... Is it just me, or did Somebody forget to finish their FanFic?

[The Bamboo Forest]

He seems to take long breaks between putting up the different rounds, so I don't think he's forgotten yet.

[lothtfan]

[The teams are all standing at the top of the Steps of Knowledge]
>>Kirk: As we continue our quest, it's now time for Olmec to tell us about this Silver Thimble of Betsy Ross. But teams, pay attention 'cause your knowledge of the legend can bring you a step closer to the Temple.

>>Olmec: The most famous seamstress in the American Revolution was Betsy Griscom Ross. The maker of the original American flag, she was once a Quaker, until she married a non-Quaker and was banished from the group for life. In 1776, shortly after the American Revolution had begun, General George Washington asked her this: "Mrs. Ross, I'm so sorry to bother you, but how must we defend ourselves from those nasty Redcoats?" "I think you need to fight a little harder." "Yes, but we're gonna need a symbol to keep our patrioticity!" "Maybe I can do something..." pondered Betsy. In exactly 2 weeks, Betsy had sewn up a flag with stripes and 13 states to represent the colonies. "How'd you do that, m'lady?" "Oh, nothing, I owe it all to my lucky silver thimble." And for her work, the flag was renowned across the colonies, but her Thimble was soon forgotten. Your quest is to find the Silver Thimble of Betsy Ross and bring it back here!
[camera fades back to Kirk]
>>Kirk: Thanks, Olmec. So, tell us... Where's the Thimble?
>>Olmec: The Silver Thimble can be found in the Room of the Ancient Warriors!
[camera zooms in on the Thimble on the left pedestal in the Ancient Warriors, then fades back to Kirk]
>>Kirk: Okay, teams. You're now standing on the Steps of Knowledge. In a minute, Olmec's gonna ask you a question. If you think you know the answer, stomp down on the ancient marking in front of you. If you're right, you'll move a step down. But if you're wrong or run outta time, I'll give the other teams a chance to answer. The 1st 2 teams to make it to the bottom step will make it one step closer to olmec's Temple. Olmec, we're now ready for your 1st question.

>>Olmec: That is correct!
[the Green Monkeys go down a step]
>>Kirk: Okay! They're doing good, Olmec, next question.
>>Olmec: Did she make the 1st flag during the Mexican Revolution, French Revolution or American Revolution?
[the Green Monkey girl rings in and says "American Revolution"]
>>Olmec: That is correct!
[the Green Monkeys move down a step]
>>Kirk: Now the Green Monkeys are a step away from the Temple games. Next question, Olmec!

>>Olmec: Did the American Revolution happen in which of these centuries--
[the Orange Iguanas ring in and say "1700s"]
>>Olmec: That is correct!
[the Orange Iguanas move down a step]
>>Kirk: Orange team's right in this now! Silver still can catch up. Next question, Olmec.
>>Olmec: Which of these states was Betsy Ross born in: Missouri, Louisiana or Virginia?
[the Orange Iguanas ring in and say "Virginia"]

[the Orange Iguanas move down a step]
>>Kirk: Orange and Red're just a step away from the Temple Games! Olmec, next question.
>>Olmec: Which of these oceans does the Delaware river flow into: the Indian, Pacific or Atlantic?
[the Silver Snake boy rings in and says "Pacific"]
>>Olmec: That's incorrect.
[the Red Jaguar boy rings in and says "Atlantic Ocean"]
>>Olmec: That's correct!
[the Red Jaguars move to the last step]
>>Kirk: We have our 2 teams right here! They're the Red Jaguars and the Green Monkeys! The Orange Iguanas and the Silver Snakes gave it a great effort too. They're not going away empty-handed, here's what we have for them:
[Ben, Stephanie, Peter and Danielle will each be receiving SpongeBob: the Yellow Avenger on XBox 360.]
>>Kirk: These 2 teams are gonna battle it out for the right to enter Olmec's Temple, and they're gonna do it right after this!
[the camera fades to the Forest and stops on the Shrine-Bog passage while the pendant joins together for commercial

[lothtfan]

[the camera is on the left shelf in the Shrine and them it zooms out to show the Temple Games as the pendant splits]
>>Kirk: Welcome back to legends! Now the glory goes to the fastest and the strongest! So let's hear it for Derrick and Kristen of the Red Jaguars! And Kevin and Julia of the Green Monkeys! Okay, why don't you get ready for the temple games and I'm gonna tell ya what'll happen here. In the Temple Games, these teams will be competing to win Pendants of Life. The winning team will need the Pendants to protect themselves from the dreaded Temple Guards as they make their way Olmec?s Temple. There are 3 Temple Games, and Olmec, tell us about Temple Game #1.

>>Olmec: During the American Revolution, George washington and some of his men camped out at the harsh and snowy Valley Forge for one wniter. Now, you are trapped at the mountainous portion of Valley Forge and must escape! When Kirk gives the signal, take the backpack, throw it up to the next level, jump through the netting and grab the next backpacks until you make it to the top. When you're at the top, place the backpacks on the Freedom sign, which will mean you will have left Valley Forge! The first team to leave Valley Forge or the player who's further along in 60 seconds wins!
>>Kirk: Let's leave this snowstorm! Let's set 60 seconds on the clock. On your mark, get set, GO!!!!
[Kristen and Julia grab their backpacks, throw them up to the next level and then they launch themselves there, it happens again on the next level, on the last level, Kristen has problems jumping up to the final one, causing Julia to place her backpacks on Freedom with 22 seconds left]
>>Kirk: That's it! They did it! The Green Monkeys did it in only 38 seconds, so that lets them get the half pendant of life!
[the audience applauds]
>>Kirk: Dont' lose hope, Red Jaguars. You can still catch up in the next game 'cause it's worth a half and Olmec will now tell us about it.

>>Olmec: When Betsy Ross first made the flag, there were only 13 stars for the 13 original colonies. In this game, you must complete the American flag by getting the stars at each point. You are now in a giant wheel representing the carriage rode by important Americans, and when Kirk gives the signal, roll your carriage towards the last point, grab the first star and roll back to the start to place it on the flag. Then, roll to the first point and grab the second star and do it again. Then, roll to the middle point and get the third star for your flag. Do this four times to complete the flag and whoever finishes the American flag first wins!
>>Kirk: This is the most crazy way a flag's been made! Put 60 seconds on the clock. On your mark, get set, GO!!!!
[Derrick and Kevin roll their wheels to the last pedestal and Derrick is first to grab the first star, followed by Kevin 2 seconds later, both boys roll back to the first pedestal and grab the second star with 45 seconds left, but Derrick is remarkably faster on getting to the middle pedestal while Kevin has trouble rolling his wheel over the bumps and Derrick gets the third star with 26 seconds and then gets to the last one and grabs it with 10 seconds left as Kevin begins to catch up, the clock explodes on-screen, signaling that time's up]
>>Kirk: That's it! Let's count 'em up. Green Monkeys had one, two stars; Red Jaguars had one, two, three stars. The Red Jaguars get the half pendant of life!
[the audience applauds]
>>Kirk: It's now tied with a half-pendant apiece and whoever wins the final Temple Game goes to the Temple. Olmec, tell us about temple game #3!

>>Olmec: Throughout the American Revolution, the Americans worked very hard to take down the British and win independence. Now, you're about to take down some of the British soldiers and their generals. When Kirk gives the signal, the player on the ground will throw a boulder up to their partner, who'll catch it and fly towards the soldiers and drop it on one of the six soldiers. Then you'll do it again for as many times as possible. The first team that knocks down all six soldiers or the team that's further along in 60 seconds wins!
>>Kirk: It's a knockout to the British! Let's set 60 seconds on the clock. On your mark, get set, GO!!
[the girls on the bottom throw the first boulder to the boys who are suspended in the air and on the first attempt, only Red knocks down a soldier, on the second attempt, both teams knock down a soldier, on the next four attempts for Green, they miss, on the eighth attempt for Red, they knock down their fifth soldier with 18 seconds and as Green knocks down 2 soldiers simultaneously, Red knocks down the last soldier with 7 seconds left]
>>Kirk: That's it! We got a winner right here! The Red Jaguars knocked down all six as Green Monkeys only knocked down three soldiers; that gives the Red Jaguars the full pendant, so they have a Pendant and a half, Green Monkeys had a half, the Red Jaguars are going to the Temple!
[The Red Jaguars cheer and clap]
>>Kirk: The Green Monkeys did a great job the entire time they were here, but they aren't leaving empty-handed. We got a great gift for them, and here's what it is!
[Kevin and Julia will each be receiving a Wii package with Wii Sports and 2 new games by Nickelodeon.]
>>Kirk: We'll see if the Red Jaguars can make it through Olmec's Temple, and retrieve the Silver Thimble of Betsy Ross right after this!
[the camera passes through the Room of the Secret Password, Shrine of the Silver Monkey and stops on the Thimble in the Room of the Ancient Warriors and then goes to commercial break]

[lothtfan]

[the camera is on the railing in the Crypt showing the whole Temple and then the pendant splits]
>>Kirk: Welcome back to Legends! Derrick and Kristen have proven themselves worthy and have earned the right to enter Olmec's Temple. But first, Olmec's gonna give them some information to help 'em retreive The Silver Thimble of Betsy Ross.
>>Olmec: You could start by running up the stairs to the Crypt! Grab the book from the skeletons, and pass into the Pit of the Pendulum. Knock over the column, and climb into the King's Storeroom! Smash the clay pots to find the key, that will lead you into the Chamber?of the Sacred Markers. Match the symbols on the right, to those on the left, and pass into the Rooom? of the Ancient Warriors! Place yourself in the correct armor, and open the door to the SHRINE of the Silver Monkey. Assemble the statue and you may be headed toward the Room? of the Secret Password. Find the tablet with the correct inscription, and shout it out to open the door to the Pharaoh's Secret Passage. Slide down the tunnel to the Quicksand Bog, where you could smash through to the Dark Forest? but beware the Temple Guards that may inhabit the treeeeees! Find the key in the tree and you'll enter? the Jester's Court! Press yourself against the correct wall painting, and you'll gain entry to the Tomb of the
Headless Kiiiiiings! Pull the vines to release their bones, and attach the
missing skull to its proper king! Then, race through the pit, CLIMB through
the Ledges, rrrrrrace down the STAIRS and back through the Temple Gate! The choices are yours and yours ALONE! You won one and a half pendants in the Temple Games. Who's going first?
>>Kristen: I am.
>>Olmec: Very well, Kristen! When Kirk gives the signal, you'll race through the gates into the Temple and make your way toward the Silver Thimble. Hidden inside the Temple are Temple Guards assigned to protect three specific rooms. You can trade your Pendant for an extra life and go on, but if you're caught without a Pendant, you'll be taken out of the Temple? and then it'll be Derrick's turn to enter and try his luck. Hidden somewhere in the Temple is the other half of your pendant, if you can find it, you'll get an extra life. If you can reach the Silver Thimble, all the doors of the Temple will instantly unlock, and the Temple Guards will vanish. Return through the gates with the Silver Thimble in three minutes, and you will both be handsomely rewarded? and here's how:
[for just getting into the Temple, they'll each get a Crosley iJuke Jukebox, which plays music on your iPod on a jukebox, all from Crosley Retro electronics.]
[If they grab the Thimble within 3 minutes, they'll also win a DiamondBack mountain bike. The new DiamondBack Outlook & Lustre 1: These 21-speed mountain bikes can handle trails and pavement, all from DiamondBack]
[If they can bring the Thimble out of the Temple before 3 minutes're up, they'll be going to Magic Mountain! They'll stay at the Hilton Garden Inn Valencia Six Flags, with an outdoor pool and spa. Plus, enjoy all the rides at Six Flags Magic Mountain!]
>>Kirk: The Red Jaguars have been a wonderful team all day. Let's see if they can keep up their streak. Get your mouthpieces in. Lower those gates, Olmec!
[Olmec hums and lowers his gate and then his lights go off.]
>>Kirk: Put 3 minutes on the clock. On your mark, get set, GO!!!
[Kristen races into the Temple and climbs into the Ledges, where the first Temple Guard appears and she tries the door to the Pit, but has to go up into the Crypt and the third skeleton opens the door to the Pit of the Pendulum with 2:19 remaining; Kristen knocks down the column and goes directly to the Tomb with 2:08 left; after the first king opens the door, she completes the objectives of the Jester's Court, Dark forest and climbs up the Quicksand Bog's slide to the Room of the Secret Password with 1:27 left, she's removed by the second Temple Guard; Derrick races through the Temple and follows her footsteps to the Room of the Secret Password with 0:51 left, "Klaatu Barada Nikto" opens the Shrine, Derrick assembles the Silver Monkey in 17 seconds and grabs the Thimble with 31 seconds left and climbs down the King's Storeroom and Chamber of the Sacred Markers and crosses the top part and jumps down the gate with ONE SECOND LEFT!]
>>Kirk: YES!! He did it! He made it all the way thru! They did it! They were awesome all the way, and they get the jukebox, the bikes, and they're headed to Six Flags! We gotta get outta here, we'll see you next time for another Legend of the Hidden Temple! Buh-bye!

Temple Run Summary
Episode 4: The Silver Thimble of Betsy Ross

Season: 1
Layout: 1
Result: Made it!
Time Remaining: 0:01
Team: Red Jaguars
Pendants Won: 1 1/2
Location of Artifact: The Room of the Ancient Warriors



If I could describe this Temple Run in 3 words, it would be amazing, groundbreaking and EPIC! The Red Jaguars of Derrick and Kristen were a spectacular team all the way, despite coming in second in the Moat and the Steps of Knowledge and turning it all around by winning a Pendant and a half in the Temple Games. these 4 people from the classic Legends have made a one-second victory: Olivia-Emma from the Applewood Amulet of Emiliano Zapata, Tarrah from the Milk Bucket of Freydis, David from Lawrence of Arabia's Headdress and Jammin' Jon from Galileo's Cannonball. But, one more's been added to the list: Derrick from The Silver Thimble of Betsy Ross!

Kristen was a pretty smart player and she really knew what she was doing. She must've watched it on Nick GaS before, 'cause she knew what to do it all eight rooms she covered. She eventually made it all the way to the Room of the Secret Password, where she was taken out with 1:27 left. Derrick was just the same, but he was slightly slower than her but he still knew what he was doing. He made it all the way to the Room of the Secret Password in only thirty-five seconds and he completed both objectives of the next two rooms. In the Room of the Ancient Warriors, he grabbed the Thimble with thirty-plus seconds and escaped via the high road. This team deserved their trip to Six Flags Magic Mountain.

Trivia and Records:
-This is the first time a one-second win has been recorded in Renewed's history.
-The hidden half-pendant's location was nowhere in sight, but it didn't affect the outcome of the Temple Run.
-This is the second episode where the players' names are mentioned, but the interviews are cut out.
-This was the first time overall that the Red Jaguars went to the Temple, and the second team victory achieved.[/img]

Possibly your best one yet.

Great job!

[The Ancient Warrior]

I feel like some of the descriptions over-summarize (particularly in the Temple Games and Temple Run), but it was still a fun read and better than the episodes before it. Good work!
