[color=#20603f][font=Arial Narrow][size=4]This common Advantage lets a player erase a penalty vote issued for not voting at Tribal, not submitting a confessional or not submitting a challenge entry in time.
The owner can use it at any point of the game, regardless of whether their tribe attends Tribal Council of a particular round or not. The artefact doesn't protect from possible penalty votes - only erases the existing ones.
This artefact may also be given to someone else at any point of the game, but it cannot be used on them. If the owner wants to give it to someone, they need to state so in their "Game Actions" chat.
The usage of this item will be revealed in a forum post with Tribal Council results.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#20603f][font=Arial Narrow][size=4]Completing this puzzle gives a player a piece of information, which might aid them during Explorations.

[color=#20603f][font=Arial Narrow][size=4]This common Advantage prevents an opponent from going on Explorations for two consecutive rounds.

[size=4][font=Arial Narrow][color=#20603f]There are certain rules players need to follow in this challenge.
1. The line can start and end at any cell.
2. The line can freely cross the cells' borders [u]if it connects gems of the same colour[/u], but cells with different gems can only be linked with the line, if it passes through a connector between the gems.[/size][/color][/font]
[size=4][font=Arial Narrow][color=#20603f]3. The line can cross a particular cell only once.
4. The pieces placed on top of the board replace the original icons.

If a tribe sumbits a line with a mistake (a line linking cells that shouldn't be linked), the line will be "cut off" at the point the mistake was made, and the more valuable part of that line (point-wise) will be taken as the team's submission.
One more thing: Apart from a "tribal line" submitted for the challenge by the whole team, each player participating in this challenge has to create their own "personal" line.

Challenge #8
"Diamonds Are Forever"
In this challenge, both teams will receive a large hexagonal grid with various icons placed on it. Each grid cell has one icon in it. The icons are: gems (worth different numbers of points depending on their colour), as well as a rainbow star and a cog/gear, which both function as connectors.
Example grid. Note that the challenge grid will be much larger.
Additionally, players will receive smaller pieces built from the same hexagonal cells as the grid. Those pieces also contain icons.
Example pieces.
The tribes' task is to connect as many icons as possible with a single line crossing a number of cells, and in the process, garner the highest possible number of points. To increase their score, they can also alter the board by placing the pieces provided for them directly on the grid before linking the cells.
There are certain rules players need to follow in this challenge.
1. The line can start and end at any cell.
2. The line can freely cross the cells' borders if it connects gems of the same colour, but cells with different gems can only be linked with the line, if it passes through a connector between the gems.
3. The line can cross a particular cell only once.
4. The pieces placed on top of the board replace the original icons.
5. Pieces cannot be placed outside of the board and cannot overlap.
6. Only ten pieces can be chosen from the ones provided and placed on the board.
7. The pieces cannot be rotated.
Each gemstone icon is worth a different number of points:
- blue gem: 1 point
- yellow gem: 1 point
- green gem: 2 points
- orange gem: 2 points
- red gem: 3 points
- pink gem: 4 points
As for the connectors, using the rainbow star (
) has no consequences, while using the cog (
) takes away five points from the overall score.
The tribe who connects gems worth more points wins Immunity and is safe from the vote in Round #8. Losers have to attend Tribal Council, after which the ninth player will be eliminated from Survivor: Shrieking Wilds.

One more thing: Apart from a "tribal line" submitted for the challenge by the whole team, each player participating in this challenge has to create their own "personal" line. This line must be drawn on the tribe board (after the pieces are chosen and placed), connect the gems worth at least 30 points and not share any cells used by other tribemates individually or in the group's submission.
Avida, you have more players than your opponents. Two of you must sit out during this challenge and not participate.

[left][font=Arial Narrow][size=4]Congratulations, [color=#6392df][b]Savi[/b][/color]. You came back to the game swinging. You took more risks by utilising more cogs on the board, but that allowed you to access more gem clusters, which ultimately lead to accumulating more points. Thanks to this victory, all five of you are safe and advance to Round #9.[/size][/font][/left]

[left][font=Arial Narrow][size=4][color=#d5602b][b]Avida[/b][/color], unfortunately your approach wasn't good enough. Even though you lost less points due to gears and got a few big gem clusters, in the end you garnered less points than your rivals. Now you have to attend Tribal Council, where the ninth player will be voted out of [i]Survivor: Shrieking Wilds[/i].
The deliberation period begins now. The deadline for this vote is [b]tomorrow, 15:00 FR time[/b].[/size][/font][/left]
