Series 4: Winners

By Keith McDonald

There was one winning team in Series 4. Team 6 retrieved the Crown, completing their quest in 54 minutes.


Team 6: Dickon, Dominic, Tim and Praveen from Torquay

The team has survived the Corridor of Blades and a falling bridge.

See how the quest has unfolded so far.

The sorceress, Malice, appears for a third time. This time, her patience has ran out.

Malice: "Enough!! I lose patience. Contrary to your beliefs, this is not a game. You thwart me and so I destroy you!"

The team spell-cast FIRE, which sends a blast into Malice's eye.

She retreats, screaming.

The danger is still not over. Treguard warns that energy levels are now critical. The team casts OPPOSITE so Dickon can consume the poison he is carrying.
