music changes to a slow choral
Hikari: They're gonna have to pass some pretty tough physical and mental tests, and, in the end, only one team will earn the right to enter Olmec's Temple. But first they have to cross the moat, and Olmec will tell us how they'll have to do it today.
Olmec: One player from each team is lying down on a small wooden raft. When Hikari gives the signal, the first player will paddle their raft to the opposite side of the moat. Once the first player is safely across, get out, bringing the rope with you. Pull it once around the base of the pole. Then sit down, bracing yourselves with your feet. That'll be your partner's signal to grab the upper rope and walk yourself across the lower rope. As soon as the second player is across, run over and hit the gong.

Hikari: As the quest continues, it's now time for Olmec to tell us about the Half-Melted Sword of Beowulf. But teams, pay attention, beacuse your knowledge of the legend will bring you a step closer to Olmec's temple.
shot of Olmec
Olmec: One the greatest epic heroes in British Literature was the mighty Beowulf. He was a mighty warrior from the land of the Geats who lived in Scandinavia.He was said to be stronger than any other man. Legend has it that a powerful monster was attacking the land of the Danes, killing everybody in its path. Hearing of the trouble from a noble messenger, he took a boat to the land of the Danes to see the king, Hrothgar. When he got there, the king had told him what had happened. "My people have flown from this town ever since that monster came in and attacked us! You must do something!" "Do not worry. I have fought in many wars and destroyed many demons. I have even destroyed five giants." "But how will you defeat this monster?" "With my bare hands, if I must." That night, the monster came back to try to kill the king, but Beowulf was there to fight. "You will harm this town no more! Begone now!" And they began to fight. Beowulf was almost about to be defeated when he saw a great light behind him. He saw, in the light, a sword, which was made by giants. He took the sword and beheaded the monster. When everyone woke up, they saw Beowulf showing the monster's head in one arm, and the sword, which was melting by the blood of the monster, in the other. The head was hung in the dining hall, but the sword was abandoned, until it finally made it's way to the temple. Your quest is to retrieve the Half-Melted Sword of Beowulf and bring it back here.

Hikari: Alright. Teams, you're now standing on the Steps of Knowledge. In a minute, Olmec will ask you a question. If you think you know the answer, I want you to stomp down on the ancient marking in front of you. If you're right, you'll go down to the next level. But if you are wrong or run out of time, I'm gonna give the other teams a chance to answer. The first two teams to make it to the bottom level will be one step closer to Olmec's temple. Olmec, we're now ready for your first question.
