(HR' Match Win Cue playing)

Burton: And now, back to Super High Rollers and the Championship Round!

DK: Thank you, Burton! And welcome back to Super High Rollers, and this is it, the Championship Round! Both pathfinder20 and James have proven themselves worthy to be here, and now, the 4 columns are reset...

Now, this works like in the Elimination Round, but each column have prizes that fills up to 5 prizes if they are not won, and will be carried over. Since this is our first episode, all 4 Columns are empty. But we're going to change all of that in a bit as we take a look at the prizes that are up for grabs, starting with Column 1.

Burton: In Column 1, we have...



a Freezer! The Frigidaire Commercial 15.6 cu. ft. Chest Freezer is NSF®-Certified for food service applications. It is also cold control capable of +10 degrees Fahrenheit for hand dipping ice cream. This freezer also features a sealed cabinet interior for easy cleaning, and the integrated defrost drain is perfect for hassle-free defrosting.

The total value of this is $1,099.

DK: And what's in Column 2?



Burton: It's a new crib. From Ubabub, this cocoon-shaped crib provides a cozy resting experience for your child. It has transparent acrylic sides for a clear view of the sleeping baby. The simple design allows easy clean-up and maintenance. The Pod Crib comes equipped with custom-made mattress that can be conveniently adjusted from high to low. The price here is $2,300!

DK: Now let's take a look at Column 3!



Burton: How about a brand new bedroom group. From Ensenada, this lovely bedroom group includes an Ensenada His & Hers Chest Ensenada Bed made with cherry oak, an Ensenada Dresser with 10 drawers, an Ensenada Cedar Chest, and an Ensenada Night Stand with three drawers. From Ensenada. That prize is valued of $6,299!

DK: And last, but not least, Column 4!



Burton: It's a wonderful collection of Cookware! From Lagostina this 12pc collection of 5-ply Copper Clad Cookware is perfect for your inner Julia Child or if you're a beginner learning in the kitchen, from Lagostina! The total value for all of this is $2,800.

Which brings the total value of the entire board to $12,498!

(audience cheers and applause)

DK: Thank you, Burton! And now, let's load up the numbers!

ALL COLUMNS JACKPOT - $30,000
3 HOT COLUMNS JACKPOT - $12,500

And we kick things off with a Double!

(Doubles!)

Plus, the roll is 15. How do you want to play it out?

[pathfinder20]

Let's make it fun. Clear column two and the 3 in column 1 (1, 3,4,7)

[Deleted]

Roll. 'Em!

[dad90]

We got a Double!

(Doubles!)

That's the good news, but the bad news is that you have to give the Insurance Marker back to me immediately as you've rolled a 4, so roll again.

(James rolls the dice)



And another Double!

(Doubles!)

And this time, the good roll is an 11. How do you want to play it out?

[Deleted]

Both players have 1 Insurance Marker, but no Super Insurance Markers yet as we go to our next question.

Who was the most famous resident of a house in the Lake District called "Dove Cottage", a man who was certainly valued highly for his use of the English language?

A. Bill Lettertruth
B. Phil Anglogold
C. William Wordsworth
D. Timothy Tendermouth

pathfinder20: 48
James: 21

Magic #: 12

(Buzz-In!)

[Deleted]

C!

[dad90]

Is right!

(audience applause as James picks up the dice)

William Wordsworth was one of the three main Lake Poets, along with Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey. Wordsworth lived at Dove Cottage with his sister Dorothy between 1799-1808, with another poet, Thomas de Quincey, taking up residence after Wordsworth left. Dove Cottage is now run by the Wordsworth Trust and has been open to the public since 1891.

And in comes the next question.

Postage stamp collecting is popular worldwide. Which tool is one of the needed tools used by the collectors?

A. A Compass
B. A Magnifying Glass
C. An Eraser
D. A Pen

pathfinder20: 56
James: 31

Magic #: 80

(Buzz-In!)

And pathfinder20 buzzes in!

[pathfinder20]

B. Magnifying glass

[dad90]

Is the right answer!

(audience applause as pathfinder20 picks up the dice)

One needs a magnifying glass to check for the scratches and other meaningless marks on the stamps. If the stamp is injured with marks, it will lose its value. A collector does not need a pen to write on the stamp, it will make the stamp less valuable. An eraser to erase the marks on the stamp will, further, damage it. A compass would be useless for a stamp collector. Postage stamp collecting began at the same time that stamps were first issued, and by 1860 thousands of collectors and stamp dealers were appearing around the world. The first postage stamp, the Penny Black, was issued by Britain in 1840 and pictured a young Queen Victoria. One way to receive stamps form other countries is to write letters to friends, loved ones and firms that are abroad.

[pathfinder20]

I will give it a roll! *rolls dice*

[dad90]

It's another Double!

Also, it's a 10, and there's only one way to do it, and that's to take out the 10.

That means that now there are more Bad Rolls coming up, but you two have 2 Insurance Markers. Those will come in handy as we go into our next question.

Answer Yes or No to this Question. Is computer terminology, is a nibblet half a bit?

False/no

Alright let's roll! *rolls dice*

[dad90]

James passes the dice to pathfinder20, and let's see what he rolls.



We got a 12, and once again, there's only one way to do it, and that's to take out the 12 itself.

And with that, pathfinder20 takes Column 1, and now, there are only 4 numbers left on the board, and the Bad Rolls increase rapidly, so this next question could do it for one of you.

Which of these is NOT a real creature, but a monster from medieval myth?


A. Cockatrice
B. Cockatoo
C. Cockroach
D. Cockerel

pathfinder20: 18
James: 69

Magic #: 29

(Buzz-In!)

And pathfinder20 buzzes in!

[pathfinder20]

A!

[dad90]

Cockatrice is the right answer!

(audience applause as pathfinder20 picks up the dice)

The cockatrice first appeared around 1180 in Alexander Neckam's "De Aaturis Rerum". Said to have hatched from an egg laid by a cock and incubated by a toad (or a snake), the cockatrice was depicted as a rooster with a lizard-like tail, and could kill with just a look. The word "cockatrice" appears in the King James Version of the Bible, where it was used for the Hebrew "tziph'oni" nowadays translated as "adder" or "viper".

I came to realize that 16 is a good roll, but I certainly do know that 3, 4, 10, 12, and 18 are not. Would you like to roll the dice or pass them to James?

[pathfinder20]

[dad90]

Very well, then.

James, let's see what you get here.

(James rolls the dice)



And the roll is 14! That means that we take out the 9 and the 5, because there's no other way to do it.

2 and 6 are the only ones left on the board, which means that this is the penultimate (Second-to-Last) question, no doubt about it, so it's getting down to the wire, and here it is.
