0:00:02 > 0:00:07Many moons ago, with the forging of six golden symbols, magic returned
0:00:07 > 0:00:12to this land, but with it came the evil sorcerer Nevar,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15intent on taking this power for himself.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18I stood against Nevar as the land's protector,
0:00:18 > 0:00:20training the ultimate champions.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23When the day came,
0:00:23 > 0:00:27together we defeated Nevar in the ultimate battle,
0:00:27 > 0:00:32but, knowing my power, Nevar had forged golden symbols of his own,
0:00:32 > 0:00:36and the spell that was cast to banish him reflected back,
0:00:36 > 0:00:38sending us both to a far-off desolate realm.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41With the battle fought,
0:00:41 > 0:00:46only one champion feared the return of Nevar and his demons.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50This warrior sought out the golden symbols lost in the battle,
0:00:50 > 0:00:54and, finding them, discovered my staff of power.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59Its magic transformed her into the new protector of this land.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04Now, it is her task to find the true warriors to defeat Nevar,
0:01:04 > 0:01:06and save us from his evil.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09HORN BLASTS
0:01:09 > 0:01:15My name is Raven, and I seek the true warriors.
0:01:15 > 0:01:1916 of the bravest and most worthy have answered my call.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Which of them will conquer the challenges?
0:01:22 > 0:01:27Who will reach the Grand Tournament and be named as a true warrior?
0:02:10 > 0:02:16Nevar's evil sorcery has allowed his demons through into our land.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20It will take a true warrior to rid us of the scourge,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22and free this land once more.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29There, out across the loch, four brave challengers,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32but Nevar's demons are already pursuing them.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35They must dig deep, and beat these cursed creatures
0:02:35 > 0:02:38across the deep loch to their warriors' banners.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Only then can their quest truly begin.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Quickly, now, the demons are drawing close.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Dig deep. You can do this.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19Four challengers have joined the quest to become a true warrior.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22This group will compete beneath the Banner of the Stag.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27Wise and strong, this Monarch of the Glen leads by example.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31I hope our challengers draw inspiration from it.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Let us meet them.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37My name is Sharow,
0:03:37 > 0:03:40and I am here to prove I'm strong enough to become the true warrior.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I'm Cersage. Although I am small, I'm a mighty warrior.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54I'm Kaichir. I love the water,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57so I know I will smash the water challenges.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02My name is Scona.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06I'm a warrior, and I will conquer my fears to scale great heights.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11These four warriors will face many challenges,
0:04:11 > 0:04:15but only three can make it through to the Last Stand.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21Here, whoever overcomes Nevar's cursed obstacles to reach the portal
0:04:21 > 0:04:28first will join Larsai, Nantin and Janra in the Grand Tournament.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Welcome, brave warriors.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36Scona, Cersage, Sharow, Kaichir,
0:04:36 > 0:04:40you have shown commendable courage in making the journey here,
0:04:40 > 0:04:43but though you braved and banished those demons,
0:04:43 > 0:04:46this is only the start of your quest.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50From now on, you compete for a chance to become a true warrior.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54For some, the journey will end soon, and you will return home.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00For others, this road will lead to the Last Stand,
0:05:00 > 0:05:04the legendary trials that crown this heat's challenges.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08But it is only the warrior who conquers that challenge
0:05:08 > 0:05:10who will go through to the Grand Tournament.
0:05:12 > 0:05:18Your fate, whatever it may be, shall be determined by these.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Golden treasure rings.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28For arriving here now, I give you each six rings.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Succeed in the challenges, and you will add more rings to your hoard.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Suffer defeat, and you will surrender your treasure.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43When the time comes, the warrior with the lowest number of rings
0:05:43 > 0:05:45will leave this quest first.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50The warrior with the most has the greatest chance
0:05:50 > 0:05:53of reaching the Grand Tournament.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56For all my magic, I cannot see who amongst you will triumph.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Only the challenges will tell us that.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Now, come. Nevar and his demons are never far behind,
0:06:04 > 0:06:06and we have delayed long enough.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10The quest to become a true warrior begins.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Are you ready to face it?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- ALL:- Yes, Raven.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Then follow me, my young friends,
0:06:17 > 0:06:19and we shall see what fate has in store.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Warriors, the ground we stand on is the site of an ancient battle.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06The warriors who came before you battled to keep this land free
0:07:06 > 0:07:11from demons. Now, Nevar's creatures watch over this land once more.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15If we are to pass by them,
0:07:15 > 0:07:19we must call upon the spirits of the ancient warriors.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23To do this, you must reassemble their petrified remains.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Once complete, the warrior spirit will shine forth,
0:07:27 > 0:07:29and destroy the demons before you.
0:07:29 > 0:07:36But beware, for only one statue is needed to complete this task.
0:07:36 > 0:07:41Once the warrior is activated, the demon will awake,
0:07:41 > 0:07:45and their foul gaze will fall upon the remaining warrior,
0:07:45 > 0:07:46at the cost of a ring.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52Warriors, do you stand ready to face the challenge to defeat the demons?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- ALL:- Yes, Raven.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Then let the challenge begin.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04This challenge tests speed and agility in a race to rebuild
0:08:04 > 0:08:06the Stone Soldiers.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13It seems the warriors have selected the wrong pieces,
0:08:13 > 0:08:15a neglectful mistake.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29These warriors are finding this challenge difficult.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Are they resourceful enough to complete it in time?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Scona and Kaichir must make haste,
0:08:39 > 0:08:43for whoever comes last will face the demons' terrible glare.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Can't seem to get it on.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Scona has taken the lead.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Kaichir must stay calm and keep focus.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Scona has almost completed her Stone Soldier,
0:09:17 > 0:09:19but one piece isn't in place.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Now is Kaichir's chance.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32As soon as one statue is complete, the demons will awake,
0:09:32 > 0:09:33and the warrior is doomed.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38And Scona is victorious.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42It felt really good to win my first ring,
0:09:42 > 0:09:45and I was actually quite surprised, because Kaichir's a really good
0:09:45 > 0:09:47warrior, and I never thought I'd beat him.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50In the next challenge, I think I'm going to try and keep this up,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53and try and get even more rings.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Kaichir, at the cost of a ring,
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I bring you back from Nevar's desolate realm.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Losing my first ring was really annoying, because I was so close,
0:10:02 > 0:10:04cos I had my staff in my hand,
0:10:04 > 0:10:08but then the demon vanquished me just before I managed to get it in.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11In the next challenge, I'm going to try even better,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14and hopefully overcome the rest of the warriors.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21So, the demon's glare defeated Kaichir.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Will Cersage or Sharow share the same fate?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39The warriors must complete their Stone Soldier
0:10:39 > 0:10:41to be rid of these demons and continue on their quest.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57These young warriors are neck and neck.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Who will win the golden treasure ring?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Sharow claims victory by the finest of margins.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26To gain my first ring was quite amazing.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29The game was quite hard in some parts, because you had to make sure
0:11:29 > 0:11:32the exact piece got in the right position,
0:11:32 > 0:11:34and sometimes it was the right piece,
0:11:34 > 0:11:37but you needed to put it in different order.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Cersage was really, really good,
0:11:39 > 0:11:41because she pushed me all the way through the challenge,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44and it was quite hard to defeat her.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Cersage, I return you to the quest,
0:11:46 > 0:11:48but this will cost you a treasure ring.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Losing a ring felt really bad.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54I was only a tiny bit behind Sharow.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57We both got our staffs in, it's just his hit the ground first.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00The next challenge, I'm going to give it my all,
0:12:00 > 0:12:02and I'm going to win back some rings.
0:12:03 > 0:12:09Kaichir, Cersage, you worked with dedication, but not enough speed,
0:12:09 > 0:12:12so Nevar's demons has claimed one of your precious rings.
0:12:14 > 0:12:21Sharow, Scona, you woke the warrior's spirit within the statue,
0:12:21 > 0:12:26and there are now fewer of Nevar's demons to trouble this land.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30For defeating the demons, you both win golden treasure rings.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42Sharow and Scona's triumphs sees their hoard grow to seven,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44while Cersage and Kaichir's defeat
0:12:44 > 0:12:47means their hoards now total only five.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58I left the warriors to seek a path onwards.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24There's too many of them.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25There must be another way.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35With the way forward patrolled by Nevar's demons,
0:13:35 > 0:13:39I called upon Raven of Old. Once guardian of this land,
0:13:39 > 0:13:42he is now trapped in Nevar's cursed realm.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Wise one, I summon you.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51I seek a path to the next challenge,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54but Nevar's demons are waiting in ambush.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56And your path will grow more dangerous still,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59for Nevar knows you are close to finding the fourth warrior for the
0:13:59 > 0:14:04Grand Tournament, while he has found a new source for treasure rings,
0:14:04 > 0:14:07and drains their magic to send yet more demons against you.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09And I came to you for good news.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Then think to your past, and the challenges you have faced.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16There are some roads that even Nevar cannot block.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20The Riddle Rocks.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24If they answer their questions, then the demons must let them by.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26You answer well, young Raven.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28The land is safe in your hands.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Thank you.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Nevar's demons do not rest.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58The warriors are approaching a riddle which blocks their path.
0:15:00 > 0:15:05Many are the twist and turns on the road that stretches ahead of you,
0:15:05 > 0:15:11and the path we must walk now is protected by magic.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15If we are to cross this point without cost, you must solve
0:15:15 > 0:15:19the riddle and see the answer to it hidden in the rocks before you.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Kaichir, Cersage, for this challenge,
0:15:26 > 0:15:28you shall work as a team.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33For safe passage, it is your task to solve this riddle.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Tease out the answer from this riddle...
0:15:36 > 0:15:41..and you can pass onwards, each adding one more ring to your hoard.
0:15:41 > 0:15:46But fail to answer in time, or place your foot on the wrong letter,
0:15:46 > 0:15:48and you shall both lose a ring.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Are you ready to answer the Riddle of the Rock?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- BOTH:- Yes, Raven.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Your time begins as soon as I turn this sand.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00"The world needs it.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04"They generously give it, but rarely take it.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09"What is it?" So, the world needs it, and they generously give it,
0:16:09 > 0:16:11but they rarely take it.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Erm, but they do take it sometimes.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Time is running out.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- Oh, I think I know.- What?
0:16:19 > 0:16:20Advice.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Advice. So, it goes...
0:16:24 > 0:16:27A-D-V-I-C-E.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28Yeah.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Is there anything else that comes to mind when you read that riddle?
0:16:31 > 0:16:33I really can't see any other words.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37So, everybody in the world needs it, they need advice.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41And advice can be really generously given,
0:16:41 > 0:16:43but they rarely take it.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- But the people that give it... - I can't...
0:16:47 > 0:16:50I can't really think of anything else. Try that, try an A...
0:16:52 > 0:16:53..D...
0:16:54 > 0:16:55..V...
0:16:57 > 0:16:58..I...
0:17:00 > 0:17:01..C...
0:17:03 > 0:17:05..E.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Yes!
0:17:14 > 0:17:17The hardest part of the challenge that I found was the time pressure.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21It was really nerve-racking knowing that, just a few seconds away,
0:17:21 > 0:17:24we could have lost another precious ring.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27I feel delighted that I managed to win a ring.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32I didn't think I'd be very good at riddles, but when he said, "Advice,"
0:17:32 > 0:17:36and I saw the letters, I had a boost of confidence,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38and I think I'm really lucky to be put with Kaichir
0:17:38 > 0:17:40as a partner for this challenge.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Sharow, Scona,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50you must follow the same rules if you are to continue on this path.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Tease out the answer from this riddle...
0:17:55 > 0:18:00..and you can pass onwards, each adding one more ring to your hoard.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Are you ready to answer the Riddle of the Rocks?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04- ALL:- Yes, Raven.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Your time begins as soon as I turn this sand.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- BOTH:- "I am the only thing that always tells the truth.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16"I show off everything I see.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21"I come in all shapes and sizes, so tell me what I must be."
0:18:21 > 0:18:23- OK. - Comes in all shapes and sizes.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- Always tells the truth. - Always...
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- Show off everything I see... - Let me reread it.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32"I'm the only thing that always tells the truth.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- No matter what, you can't change... - "I show off everything I see."
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Everything it sees, it shows.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Is it M-I-R-R-O-R, mirror, maybe?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- Mirror.- Time runs short.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44"I come in all shapes and sizes, whatever it sees..."
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- Yeah, it must be.- So,
0:18:46 > 0:18:49M-I...
0:18:49 > 0:18:52..R-R...
0:18:52 > 0:18:54..O-R.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03It felt really great to have Sharow along with me to do the riddle.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05I think we make a great team together,
0:19:05 > 0:19:07because we worked really well.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13All warriors successfully solved the Riddle Path,
0:19:13 > 0:19:17meaning each gain a treasure ring to add to their hoard.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Sharow and Scona now lead the way with eight rings apiece.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Cersage and Kaichir trail with six.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27One challenge remains before today's end.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Who will claim the treasure it offers?
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Now, follow me, warriors.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53With the dangers of the Riddle Rocks behind them,
0:19:53 > 0:19:57the warriors must find a way to evade Nevar's demons.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01They must brave the peril that is Dead Man's Gorge.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Nevar's demons travel all across this land,
0:20:13 > 0:20:15seeking unwary travellers.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Here at Dead Man's Gorge,
0:20:17 > 0:20:21demons await us at the bottom of these rapids.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24They block our way forward, but yet forward we must go.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30Each of you must jump down, plunging into the icy flow below.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Swept along by the currents, you will be carried downstream
0:20:34 > 0:20:37to the pool, where the demons stand guard.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Golden rings hang above the rapids.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Grasp at least one of them, and you may pass the demons unharmed.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Fail to do so, and you will pay the price.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Are you ready to take on this journey?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- ALL:- Yes, Raven. - Then let the challenge begin.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Sharow leaps fearlessly into the rapids,
0:21:05 > 0:21:08but bravery alone does not earn treasure.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Sharow is fighting these powerful waters with all his might,
0:21:14 > 0:21:16and has claimed a golden treasure ring.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29Five precious rings can be collected from the perilous course,
0:21:29 > 0:21:31if the warriors have the strength.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Swept away, Sharow risked failure in this challenge,
0:21:47 > 0:21:51but with one ring taken, he passes the demon unharmed.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56On the first one, I tried to reach it, but I was just a little bit off.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I nearly grasped it.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02I got hold of this ring, and it was quite easy to catch them.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05The next three were quite a lot higher,
0:22:05 > 0:22:07so I'm happy with myself that I at least got one.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Cersage leaps like a stag,
0:22:16 > 0:22:18but her reach is still short of the ring.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29Cersage gains a treasure ring.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43These ice-cold waters can overwhelm all but the most resilient warriors.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Before I jumped in, I felt really nervous,
0:22:57 > 0:22:59and I didn't know what would happen.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03It was brilliant.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04I just, like, really couldn't reach them.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Scona achieves what her fellow warriors could not,
0:23:16 > 0:23:18leaping to reach the first ring.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27After a strong start,
0:23:27 > 0:23:30these cursed waters make things difficult for Scona.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55The easiest ring was the one I jumped up for, definitely.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57I only got two rings.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I think that I went under for way too long,
0:24:00 > 0:24:04so my strength wouldn't let me get back up to catch the next ring.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05The hardest one was the second one,
0:24:05 > 0:24:08because the tide was pulling me out to the other side. I couldn't reach.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21A mighty leap from Kaichir sees this brave warrior claim the first ring.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27An interesting technique.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29By back paddling against the current,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Kaichir is able to steer himself to the next ring.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55A near-perfect performance from Kaichir.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Four rings are added to his hoard.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01I really enjoyed that. I only missed one ring.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Because I was an underdog,
0:25:02 > 0:25:05to get four rings in this challenge is great.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Yeah, I was really happy with that.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10My last challenge, I was really confident that I would do well
0:25:10 > 0:25:13in this challenge, and I was right,
0:25:13 > 0:25:15and I'm hopefully going to keep up this good streak,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18and it's got me in a better mood.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28The warriors showed skill and courage to survive the demons' trap.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Kaichir sees his hoard increase by four.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Scona claims two rings. They now share the lead with ten.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Sharow and Cersage each claim one ring,
0:25:37 > 0:25:41meaning Sharow is just behind our leaders,
0:25:41 > 0:25:45while Cersage has some catching up to do in tomorrow's challenges.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Now, come forth, warriors. We have escaped the demons,
0:25:58 > 0:26:00and must find somewhere to camp for the night.
0:26:14 > 0:26:19Warriors, we have reached the end of today's journey.
0:26:19 > 0:26:25The four of you have proven yourself valiant and true of purpose,
0:26:25 > 0:26:32and have earned your rest, but take heed, for on the sun's next setting,
0:26:32 > 0:26:35all things will change.
0:26:35 > 0:26:40For tomorrow, the warrior with the least number of rings will leave,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43and return home. Nevar hunts for you yet,
0:26:43 > 0:26:47so stay this night under my protection.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51I will hold back his demons until the sun rises.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Then your quest begins again.
0:26:54 > 0:27:00And soon, we will discover who will become a true warrior.
0:27:05 > 0:27:10Next time - these four warriors continue on their quest,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13facing four more challenges,
0:27:13 > 0:27:16but at the end of the day, the warrior with the least
0:27:16 > 0:27:20number of rings will have to return to their homeland.
