Rockhopper: The Island Quest Challenge History

This is a special page to record the history of the quest. You can look back here to see if the person has been eliminated before or if you should bring them back or not.
==October 1st==
Here is what happened on the first day of the quest: 
The quest has now officially begun! The teams have began sailing to the island. Here are the current positions!
====Palms====
Racing Rocks - Walden0872 is quite a while ahead of the others. Matrix Bird and Anna Zooks are struggling to find speed as they have not went kayaking before! Zarr is far behind though and in danger of elimination. Walden0872 has now reached the shore and is climbing the rope with his bucket! Anna Zooks reaches the shore just before Matrix Bird, while Walden0872 reaches safety! Zarr is the last to get to safety after struggling to find a stone.
Battle for the Leaders - First they did Rope Race. Walden0872 and Matrix Bird got off to a good beginning, with Anna Zooks saying her bracelet is so totally last year. Zarr struggled to get his through the ropes. Walden0872 was first to get to the end. Matrix Bird was second, but unfortunately, his bracelet came off. He tried to hide it but he was disqualified from the leadership battles. Zarr was 2nd and went through to the Vase Knock. Neither Zarr or Walden0872 could knock the vases, until Walden0872 hit a vase last minute. He is the new leader.
====Forests====
Racing Rocks - Saver23 and Invert got off to a quick start but Gary and Narvy were slightly behind. Soon later though, Gary took the lead and reached the shore first! Gary struggled to find his stone in the bucket allowing Saver23 to overtake him and climb to safety first. Invert was second followed by Gary. Narvy just made it in time.
Battle for the Leaders - The Forests did Rope Race also. Saver23's bracelet came off straight away, so he was out. Invert and Narvy looked like they would win, but Gary pulled ahead of Narvy. Invert and Gary tried Vase Knock, with Gary knocking down 3 to Invert's 1. Gary is the new leader.
====Mountains====
Racing Rocks - El Shades started first after Jjoeyxx and Cadence crashed into each other and Lolz capsized. After about a minute, El Shades reached the shore way ahead of the others. He got his stone quickly and was the first to reach safety. Lolz was struggling to steer and in danger of elimination. Jjoeyxx was 2nd to get the stone and climb to safety. Cadence was next, but struggled climbing, allowing Lolz to take 3rd. Cadence eventually made it in the nick of time.
Battle for the Leaders - This time they did Raised Pathway. Jjoeyxx was very slow at the start and soon dropped into last. Cadence reached the end 1st. Lolz just wobbled a bit and touched the ground for a moment. She was disqualified. El Shades was going quite quickly and soon fell onto the ground. Jjoeyxx went on to 2nd place and battled in Archery. Jjoeyxx couldn't get any, but Cadence's aim was true, and she hit the target in her 1st shot! Cadence was now leader.
====Rocks====
Racing Rocks - Aunt Arctic seemed to be kayaking very well. She was going in a straight line throughout and reached the shore first. Suddenly, though, Captain Green overtook her and was 1st to reach safety. Secretbox12 and Aunt Arctic were joint 2nd and Savannah finished soon after.
Battle for the Leaders - Aunt Arctic just couldn't keep her balance and touched the ground quickly. Captain Green and Secretbox12 looked like they would get their 1st, but Captain Green realized Earth actually had gravity and he touched the ground. Savannah and Secretbox12 continued onto Archery. Savannah was too short and broke her bow! Secretbox12 took a while, but hit one first and is the new leader.

==October 2nd==
Day 2 of the quest and the explorers are settling in to the dangerous island environment. Nobody is turned to stone yet, but anything can happen!
====PalmsEdit====
Cavern Chambers - The first main challenge of the quest. Walden0872 told his team to keep going, and don't try looking for a second stone, just leave once you have a stone. Anna Zooks decided to walk down the tunnel and concentrate on reaching for the stones. Zarr got on Walden0872's back so he could reach. The drum sounded and everyone started jumping and running. Anna Zooks was in high heels so she reached the bags easily, except they didn't have stones! Zarr and Walden0872 couldn't find any stones either. Matrix Bird couldn't find one either, could any of them get a stone before time runs out? Suddenly, Walden0872 found a bag with a stone at last! He ran out of the cavern to safety. Only 30 seconds remained. Zarr too had found a stone, and ran to Walden0872 who was safe. Anna Zooks finally got a stone in the last 5 seconds, with Matrix Bird getting one in the final 10 seconds.
====ForestsEdit====
Temple Heights - Gary told his team that they should face the wall and not look at the floor. Narvy went first, standing up on the ledge. He shuffled across it with his eyes shut, and reached safety. He also picked up a stone on the way! Gary was next. He was a bit shaky at first, but soon gained balance, although he dropped his glasses, he earned a stone! Invert went next, couldn't keep his balance! He was about to fall but Saver23 grabbed his fur and helped him up. He earned a stone on the way. He too made it to safety, but will Saver23 do it too? Saver23 began to walk across the ledge, going for the brave option of sitting down on the ledge and looking down to the danger below. He was then stuck. He needed to reach for the stone but was sitting down and couldn't reach! He decided to leave the stone and complete the challenge, which could be a great loss.
====MountainsEdit====
Boat Build - Cadence said that they should go slowly but steadily, because going fast would make them tired and not have enough energy. El Shades chose to put his heavy bits of wood on his head, like his headphones. Cadence started off quickly, as did her team, but the sands of time were running out quickly too! Would they make it? El Shades was the first to get his pieces built, followed by Cadence, but Jjoeyxx and Lolz needed to hurry! Cadence and El Shades began sailing out to the stones, trying not to capsize! They reached the stones and were safe. Less than 30 seconds remained and Jjoeyxx had built his boat and was sailing to the stones. Lolz was still building the boat though! Jjoeyxx got his stone and Lolz built the boat, sailing out to the stone just in time! They were safe!
====RocksEdit====
Cursed Earth - The most difficult of the first 3 weeks, Cursed Earth was what the Rocks must face. They decided to split up, with Aunt Arctic and Savannah going to one side with two bales, and SecretBox12 and Captain Green the other side. Aunt Arctic wobbled a bit at the start and found it hard to balance, but Savannah encouraged her to stay on. Captain Green and SecretBox12 had two bags, with only one stone though. They need another stone. Aunt Arctic literally threw the bale on the ground, and it landed outside the earth. Soon, the bale disappeared, leaving Aunt Arctic and Savannah stuck! Capt. Green and SecretBox12 decided teammates were more important that stones and went back to save them. They now had three bales and could move more easily. They escaped with only one stone though. So they still couldn't bring anyone back, which was risky.
==Day 3==
Day 3 of the quest and the explorers are beginning to discuss who they should bring back if that person is stone. Today, the Palms try and cross the Stone Bridge, Gary and his team get shaky at the Lava Bridge, Jjoeyxx struggles at the treacherous Vine Maze and Aunt Arctic has to keep her balance at Sockhopper's Slime Pit. Also, we have 2 juicy eliminations for you today! Only 15 are left in the competition! Cheer your team on by leaving nice comments!
====PalmsEdit====
Stone Bridge - The team approached the lake of the island. Walden0872 decided Zarr should go first, then him, then Anna Zooks and finally, Matrix Bird. Zarr wanted to jump instead of using planks and so jumped the first few stones. He wobbled a little on the 5th stone before reaching for a bag. He got it and moved easily across the remaining stones. Zarr was safe. Walden0872 was next, but found the stones too small and wobbly. He picked up a plank and waddled across the rest of the stones. He then reached for a bag on the final stone, but wobbled a bit! Would he regain his balance? Well, Matrix Bird came up from behind and threw a plank down. Luckily, Walden0872 fell onto the plank and was safe. Matrix Bird got the stone for him and also picked one up on the way there. Anna Zooks was last to cross, and did it easily, although she was in heels. She also picked up a stone.
====ForestsEdit====
Lava Bridge - Gary and his team face yet another courage challenge. Gary jumped into Narvy's flippers with fright! They were at the very top of the island, and were looking down at the entire area, they could even see CP! Saver23 went first. He crawled along the bridge because it was very scary. The lava bubbled and squirted at him so he stood up. Narvy was right behind her with Invert behind him. Saver23 finally reached the end. Narvy followed soon after. Invert was still on the bridge though, and scared stiff. Gary had actually froze, although he was the leader! Invert then shuffled along the bridge. Suddenly, a bit of the bridge broke! Invert jumped out of his skin in shock. He shook a little, so did the bridge, would he fall in?! Gary closed his eyes and was brave. He jumped onto the bridge and grabbed Invert before jumping to safety. They were all safe. No stones though, which was VERY risky.
====MountainsEdit====
Vine Maze - Cadence said to go for a stone each, unless it was too hard to reach. El Shades went first, followed by Cadence. They were stepping through and ducking under the vines with ease. El Shades reached his flipper and got a stone. Cadence went back a bit to get her stone, but it was very hard to reach. She asked if she should get it and El Shades replied yes. She eventually got it and reached the end with El Shades. Lolz found it hard to step over the vines and struggled to get through. Jjoeyxx was half-way through and went to reach for a stone. ZAP! He hit a vine by accident and was turned to stone! The first elimination! Lolz looked in shock! Lolz decided to crawl under all of them, but then the last vines needed to be stepped over and ducked under! She stepped through getting down low. She made it! They each had a talk. Cadence thought Jjoeyxx should be brought back, and the others agreed. Jjoeyxx was back but couldn't turn to stone again, because he had already been stone before.
====RocksEdit====
Sockhopper's Slime Pit - This dangerous pit filled with slime and squids were for the Rocks to face. Secretbox12 got into the cage with the planks and started the give them to the team. Aunt Arctic went first, with Captain Green and Savannah both on one plank. They were moving quickly, and would be safe in an instant. 2 stones and been earned also! They were on a roll, until Aunt Arctic went a bit too quickly and fell into the pit! She turned to stone immediately and was eliminated. The others looked in shock. Captain Green and Lolz found it easier with two people rather than three now. SecretBox12 gave them advice to go for the remaining stones. They got one more stone, and then the final stone at the end. They were safe except Aunt Arctic. Savannah and Captain Green thought they should bring her back, because they had 4 extra stones. SecretBox12 thought it was too much of a liability risk and overruled them. Aunt Arctic was gone for good.
==Day 4==
As CP Isle gets into the spooky spirit, its already spooky here at the island, with only 15 explorers left, and we're only on Day 4! Today the Palms face Battlefield Crossing, the Forests try to build the Obelisks of the Island, the Mountains use their minds at Riddle of the Rockhopper River and will the Rocks have a need for speed in Cavern Chambers?
====PalmsEdit====
Battlefield Crossing - Walden0872 decided that as the leader he should choose the person to go into the battlefield. He chose Anna Zooks to go in. She stepped up to the shields and skulls, stepping over them. "Left a bit, no right a bit!" said Walden0872 and the team as she listened thoroughly to the instructions. She reached out over axes and ducked under a skull to reach a bag, which had - wait for it - 2 stones! They all went 'Yes!' and she waved her flippers in joy, would she hit the axe?! Luckily, though Matrix Bird said stop and she stopped right before she hit the axe. She then went on safely through the field, collecting another stone, bringing them to 3 stones, meaning overall they now had 15 and were in a good position, but would they keep this up until the final week?
====ForestsEdit====
Obelisks of the Island - A task of strength. Gary said that they should pull the pieces up the hill instead of holding them. The drum sounded and they were off. Narvy started off quickly and was encourging the others, he had 2 pieces built now. Saver23 had 1 piece and was getting his second with Gary just behind. Invert was only putting his first piece on and was already tired. Narvy now had 4 pieces on, and was collecting the final piece! Narvy had got a stone and was safe. Gary was sweating like mad, and the humid temperature didn't help. Saver23 collected the last piece and was running up the hill in exhaust. Invert was still only putting on his 2nd piece and in danger of elimination! Saver23 and Narvy were both safe, with Gary now running with his last piece. Invert had his 4th piece and just couldn't keep up! Gary got his obelisk built in time, leaving just Invert. Invert had his final piece and was running up the hill, 5, 4, 3, 2 - he put his piece on in the nick of time! They too were safe.
====MountainsEdit====
Riddle of the Rockhopper River - The only wisdom challenge. They went over to the talking fish and it read a riddle: "What begins with t, end with t and is full of t?" They all wondered. Jjoeyxx went first. They had a time limit so they needed to have speed too! "Umm, what is it!" said Jjoeyxx. "Think hard" said Cadence, "maybe a brainwave will come!" They were running out of time! Jjoeyxx stepped on T because it said it began with T. "I know, I know!" said El Shades. "What is it?!" replied Lolz. El Shades whispered the answer to Jjoeyxx. He stepped on E, then A, P, O and T. They did it! They all followed in his footsteps and earned the stones! The answer was in fact TEAPOT.
====RocksEdit====
Cavern Chambers - The first challenge to be repeated. SecretBox12 said that they should concentrate on speed not jumping for the bags. The drum sounded and they were off. Captain Green was lucky and got a bag on his first jump, and it had a stone! He was safe, but he decided to go for another stone. Savannah got a whopping 5 bags but no stone! SecretBox12 was still empty-handed and couldn't reach. Captain Green couldn't find the extra stone. Would they get the remaining stones in time? Well, there was 15 seconds left, and Savannah and Captain Green got 2 stones, leaving just SecretBox12 to get one. In the final second, SecretBox12 got a bag with a stone at last and was safe. 4 stones were theirs. The three of them continued on the quest.

==Day 5==
Wow, doesn't time fly! Week 1 is coming to a close, and the explorers must face one final challenge before they stop, over the weekend. Today on Day 5 includes the Palms facing their fears in Temple Heights, the Forests attempting Sockhopper's Slime Pit, the Mountains take fire in Giant Catapult and the Rocks struggle in Vine Maze. We also have 2 crispy eliminations also!
====Palms====
Temple Heights - This death-defying temple must be climbed and balanced across the ledge. Walden0872 decided that since Zarr was the smallest, he should go first. Zarr went across first, but was slightly wobbly but tried so hard to keep his balance. He collected a stone on the way. Matrix Bird went next, and he sat down on the ledge, shuffling his bottom across it. A stone was high above him, should he try to get up and reach it? Matrix Bird needed to decide if he was either going to continue shuffling or take the risky option of struggling to get up and reach for the stone. He decided to turn and face the other side of the ledge, and then push himself up, which he did successfully, earned a stone and escaped the temple heights. Anna Zooks stood up on the ledge, collecting a stone, before getting down on her knees to finish it. Walden0872 reached for the final stone, and he too escaped the temple! Four more stones were theirs.
====Forests====
Sockhopper's Slime Pit - This dangerous pit must be faced yet again. Gary got into the cage and passed down the planks to Saver23 and the others. Narvy and Invert were passing down the planks to Saver23 who set them in front to move on. They got across the entire pit very speedily, collecting all 4 stones! The challenge was over in an instant, and the Forests were safe.
====Mountains====
Giant Catapult - A new challenge until now. They had to use the big catapult to fire rocks at four vases containing a stone each, with every hit containing a stone. Cadence and El Shades decided they should fire first and then swap with Lolz and Jjoeyxx. They missed by quite a margin on the first few shots, until an agonizingly close shot, which after that came a winning streak, three stones in a row! Then they swapped with Jjoeyxx and Lolz, who failed to get any stones at all, then they ran out of rocks, meaning they went back to camp with 3 stones. Suddenly, Rockhopper appeared, and cried, "Run, me hearties!", whilst pointing to death fog, which you make you pass out. They ran away to camp, and were safely back. Rockhopper was nowhere to be seen.
====Rocks====
Vine Maze - These terrifying vines must be faced by the Rocks. They decided to get a stone each, with SecretBox12 getting 2 stones. Captain Green went first, going through the vines agilely and quickly too! He reached for a stone, and got it. He reached the final vines, but grazed his flipper against a vine, causing a bell to ring! In a flash, he was turned to stone! They looked in shock and horror! Secretbox12 went next, earning a stone on the way, he reached the last few vines too. He then went back and earned another stone, before exiting the maze safely! Savannah was last to enter the maze, and half-way through, earned a stone, before moving past a few vines. All of a sudden, she went to cough but her head just tapped a vine, and she too was stone! SecretBox12 had a decision to make, would he bring nobody back, bring Capt. Green back or bring Savannah back. He was one stone short of 16, so he couldn't bring back both. Eventually, he brought Captain Green back, leaving Savannah gone for good. The Rocks were now only a twosome.
