The Thornwood Gavel of Judge Roy Bean is the 88th episode of Legends of the Hidden Temple. It was the 104th episode to be aired. Moat CrossingOne person on each team must push their partner, who is on top of an "ancient raft" to the other side. If the player on the raft fell off or touched their partner, they must start over.
Steps of KnowledgeOne of the orneriest and wiliest legends of the Wild West was Judge Roy Bean. He called himself "The Law West of the Pecos," and if he was it, there wasn't much. He held court in his own saloon, and the town didn't have a jail, so convicted criminals had to pay fines -- mostly to the judge himself. He had a pet bear, and if anyone acted up, the judge used the bear to restore order. One day, a couple of cowpokes came into court carrying an unconscious man. One of the cowpokes addressed the court. "Judge, we found this man out by the new bridge. We think he fell off it." "Do you know who he is?" "No, sir. We went through his pockets but all we found was $40." "Stranger, you got anything to say for yourself before I find you guilty?" "How can he say anything? He's out cold." "No one can say he didn't have his chance. Sir, I find you guilty of loitering. The fine is $40, payable to me right now. Now take him over to Doc's place." And he slammed down his thornwood gavel. Judge Bean is long gone, but his gavel made its way to the temple.
Temple GamesThe Green Monkeys are Lana, whose favorite group is Boyz II Men, and Chris, who enjoys nature hikes, mountain biking, and watching scary movies. The Orange Iguanas are Kelli, who is a certified snorkeler, and Mike, who enjoys volleyball, basketball, and football. Judge Roy Bean's Money (Tunnel Maze)[]Judge Bean acquired so much money through the years, that he hid most of it in some very unlikely places. The judge stashed some of his loot in the underground cavern. Lana and Kelli have found it, but it was too heavy for them to carry. When Kirk gave the signal, each player had to hook her rope onto the bag of money, and quickly make her way out of the cavern, trailing the rope behind her as she goes. Once either player escaped, she had to pull on the rope until she pulls the bag of money out. The player to pull out her bag of money or the player furthest along in 60 seconds won. Neither player got her money bag out in time, but Kelli's bag made it to the second chamber, awarding Kelli a half pendant of life. Lana's money bag made it to the third chamber. Unconscious Men (Bucking Horses)[]According to the legend, when the cowpoke found the unconscious man, he brought him back into town as quickly as he could. Just like the cowpoke, Chris and Mike had to ride as quickly as possible with their own unconscious passengers. When Kirk gave the signal, the horse would start galloping. If either player or fell or dropped his unconscious man, he had to get back on and start again. Every time a player fell off, his opponent would score a point. The player with the most points in 60 seconds won. Chris fell off only once, awarding Mike (who never fell off) a half pendant of life. Wells Fargo Wagons (Rolling Hollow Drums)[]In Judge Bean's day, large sums of money were usually transported by Wells Fargo wagons. Just like Judge Bean, the teams had to ride Wells Fargo wagons (really rolling a large hollow drum) picking up their own money. Since the judge stashed his money away in many different hiding places, the teams had to stop at points along the way. When Kirk gave the signal, the teams had to roll their wagon up the ramp. Then, one player had to jump out, grab a gavel, and pass it to his/her partner, who will smash one of the judge's piggy banks. That player had to grab the money, get back in the drum, and roll over to the vault. Once at the vault, the player with the money had to drop it in the vault, then roll back and do it again. The team to deposit both money bags won. Mike filled the second vault right before Chris smashed the second piggy bank, awarding the Orange Iguanas a full pendant of life, sending them to Olmec's Temple with two full pendants.
Temple RunMike ran into Olmec's Temple first, moving at a good pace. He started off by heading up into The Crypt first, where he ended up having to pull on all three books from the skeletons before he could make his way into The Pit of the Pendulum. Once there, Mike made a jump for the rope swing and karate kick the column down, which also caused him to simultaneously fall into the pit floor. Luckily, Mike did not have to climb the wall climb at all as the door to The Tomb of the Headless Kings had opened up so he heads into that room next. In there, Mike made a full circle as he ended up having to pull on all the ropes in order to retrieve the missing skull. After pulling all the ropes, Mike finds the skull next to the king on the left, which just so happens to be the correct king to place the skull in. Continuing through the temple, Mike makes his way up into The Chamber of the Sacred Markers where he encounters the first temple guard just as he was trying to find the markers. After giving up his pendant, Mike was able to get the job done very quickly (as there weren't that many to place) and was able to unlock the door to The Room of the Ancient Warriors. Luckily, the first armor that Mike tried was the one that unlocked the door to The Shrine of the Silver Monkey and he quickly makes his way there to assemble the monkey statue. Little did Mike know that he ended up assembling the statue in record time. (Finishing the statue in 11 seconds to be exact)! Once completed, Mike then heads into The Room of the Secret Password but was then grabbed by the second Temple Guard, just as he stepped foot into the room. And was taken out of the temple with 1:20 remaining. Kelli went into the temple next, moving at a slightly similar pace as Mike. Unfortunately, she made a critical mistake that ultimately caused the chance of a possible victory or grabbing the artifact to fade away. Upon entering The Pit of the Pendulum, Kelli noticed that the door to The King's Storeroom was opened and decided to head up there as she thought that it will be a quicker way to get to where Mike left off. Not realizing that she was making it harder for herself. While checking to see if the slab was down (which it wasn't), Kelli encounters the third and final temple guard with 1:02 left. After giving up her pendant, Kelli went back to see if she could head down into The Chamber of the Sacred Markers, but that door was locked too. Because of this, Kelli ended up having to complete the room's objective to continue onwards.
