THE RAVEN’S EYE



THE RAVEN’S EYE

Issue 2 – may 2008

WELCOME!

Here it is! The second issue of The Raven’s Eye – and what an issue we have planned for you today!

Warrior Feature returns with Tezan from Series 6. This week we will be reviewing The Gorge in Challenge Feature. There will also be a poem about Nisab from Series 7!

I am also very lucky to have received a contribution from Laura – a quiz that separates the Raven fans from the wannabes! Check it out! This is alongside a warrior wordsearch that I have made!

Enjoy the second chapter of Alaunus, where we discover what is happening to Raven and Erina.

We reveal the result from The Big Debate with some of your comments on what you prefer.

And one of the most awaited things of all – the interview with Hanso! She has agreed to be interviewed exclusively for The Raven’s Eye! Many thanks to her for that!

And of course there are a few extra delights thrown in like Raven Warrior Talk and the usual Warrior Vote. So enjoy!

I would again like to mention Jake Collins and his ‘The Eye Shield’ fanzine, which is based around the kids’ game show Knightmare! A lot of his ideas for parts of his fanzine have inspired me in creating The Raven’s Eye, so thanks a lot to Jake. The Eye Shield can be viewed at tes.

So get reading, and enjoy!

About Tezan

Tezan was a warrior from Series 6 that ended up 4th in the Raven tournament! Tezan is a popular warrior that definitely proved her worth! She showed great skills in her week, although she spent a lot of it just behind Nejad in the leaderboard. However, she beat Nejad to the portal to go through to the final week. Near the beginning of the final week, Tezan showed great promise and looked like a strong contender for the staff of power. Unfortunately, she had a bad Day 4 in the final week, which caused her to leave the competition.

CHALLENGE feature – THE GORGE

This month, we will look at The Gorge, from Series 7.

Description

The two leading warriors participate in The Gorge. The leading warrior is in the gorge; a kind of tunnel in the ground, and the second-placed warrior is above the gorge.

The leading warrior had to describe the symbol in the gorge to the second-placed warrior. The second-placed warrior had three symbols in front of them, with a ring in one of them. Then, they had to pass a container down for the leading warrior to fill with water. The second-placed warrior then had to pour the water in the skulls with the symbols on to gain the ring. This happens three times throughout the challenge.

The warrior in the gorge also has to climb a waterfall halfway through the challenge! All this, and then they have to avoid the demon chasing them through the gorge!

Great moments

Sonos and Lipra from Week 3, who struggled in the challenge. I don’t know if you can call it a ‘great’ moment but it was certainly memorable! They kept getting the symbols wrong but still managed to win the challenge in the end!

What do I think?

The Gorge was a great challenge in essentials. It was like Dwarf Mine but better because it had the added elements of climbing the waterfall, collecting the water etc. The fact that a demon chased them also made the whole thing much more intense! However, I think that the challenge was far too easy in the original weeks. Sonos and Lipra still managed to win after getting the wrong symbols wrong lots of times! Then the challenge was made harder for the final week, in which the warriors failed. It would be a great challenge to bring back for Series 8, if they set the difficulty level just right.

POETRY CORNER – NISAB

In Battle of the Boats, Nisab had an aim,

Although she tried her hardest, fifth she came,

In Spider’s Web to Lisan she lost,

A precious life was the cost,

Then, not feeling confident at all,

In Long Staff, she took a fall,

In Demon Army, Versad lost his aim,

This cost Nisab – what a shame!

Reducing her tally of lives to six,

This she would have to fix,

In Battle of the Boats, she was a great guide,

She earned a ring that she could pride,

Then in Loch Leap she missed the rings,

She didn’t take off with her wings!

Then in Battering Ram, her team were too slow,

Nisab suffering yet another blow,

Way of the Warrior – the challenge next,

Nisab to face it – she felt vexed!

She tried her hardest but fell off the beam,

The challenge was over – and so was her dream.
