Temple of 1000 Steps

The Temple of 1000 Steps was the place the clues led to when Velma Dinkley worked out the riddle of the Destiny Scroll, the first step in finding the Sword of Doom. The wanted to get there to get the sword before the Ghost of the Black Samurai did (although this turned out to be a big mistake).

They arrived at the remote island using Miss Mirimoto's automated hover plane, which was a good thing because navigation by eye would have been difficult in the dense fog that always surrounded the island.

They climbed up to the temple and found on it the symbol of the Green Dragon, a good sign for their quest since the Dragon was the one that hid the Sword of Doom. Shaggy Rogers managed to light the large Japanese lantern by accident, and they were able to read a map to the location of the Sword of Doom.

They also discovered too late that the map said there was a savage tribe nearby. They were captured by that tribe as they left the temple. The men and dog in the group were nearly cooked as an offering to the Green Dragon, while Velma, Daphne Blake, and Miyumi were nearly married against their wills to the tribal chief. Fortunately they were all able to escape when Velma was able to summon the hover plane using her laptop.
