Image of Treguard for the Knightmare RPG

Treguard Vile creatures be waiting in the most dangerous dungeon of all. But brave souls like yourselves tread the path in search of glory. The score is now 8-0 to the opposition, and there are only three and a half hours left.

Majida Oh, don't tell me you've been counting the hours? Let's get some teams in fast and beat the unholy king's ar*e!

Treguard If we are to beat the Unholy King, we need a team who are smart and fast and looking at the timer, I should think that we'll be able to get in another two teams.

Treguard But, the dungeon is currently being threatened by the Evil one himself, so somebody will have to save us won't they? Let's get our next team in quickly!

Majida Can I have the honour this time? You know I've been on holiday for a while. Pickle covered for me once as I remember.

Treguard Oh very well.

Majida Enter Stranger!

Jackie Jackie from Cardiff

Treguard and you have friends to help you?

Jackie yes of course

Treguard Welcome. Will you need a reminder of the rules?

Jackie yes please

Treguard On your travels you make take two objects unless told otherwise. You can possess as many spells as you like but cast only 3 in the whole adventure. Your health status is represented by a display shown in the top right of the magic mirror. In green you are at full strength. When it turns yellow, you should be on the lookout for food, and on red you are in grave danger. Put food into your knapsack.

Designate a person on your team who will cast out spells, and one who will give directions. If you all give directions, or answers to a riddle, then the first answer/direction will be taken. Good Luck

Treguard Who will call out the actions?

Jackie I will

Treguard and Jeanna will be the spell Caster

Treguard Right. Are you ready?

Jackie yes

Treguard good, take a step forward into the unknown

A hall of choice for the Knightmare RPG

Treguard You enter a plain room with four exits. Each exit has a narrow path leading up to it. Above each door is a different symbol.

Treguard This is the hall of choice. Here you must choose an object to redeem. Will it be the cup that heals (which some call the chalice), the sword of freedom, the shield of justice or the crown in glory?

Treguard Go through any of the doors and you will choose that quest. Stay where you are and your choice will be determined for you. It may also be a quest not available to you by choice.

Jackie chalice please

Treguard An excellent choice

Treguard In front on you is a spyglass.

A spyglass sequence in the second season of the Knightmare RPG.

"Listen. I need you to change the combination on the Level 1 causeway for me. Change the order of letters, so that they're reversed, i.e. you figure out the word then start with the end letter. See to that now!"

"That won't be a problem. Anything else?"

"Yes, I need you to Shut up that silly little bitch Gezelda. She keeps on leaking the password of the day to everyone. Lock her in one of my forcefield pens onLlevel 1. The only way to break through it is by rolling a green globe. I don't think anyone in Level 1 has one, but who knows, so keep a look out. I think the merchant in town has one, so go and get him now! If you see anyone with green globes, destroy them."

"Consider it done Sir."

"Yes. Communications OUT!"

What happens during that time is what's important. A team in progress are getting deep into Level 2. Will they survive?

The dreaded eliminator puzzle in the second season of the Knightmare RPG.

Treguard This is the main obstacle in Level 2 and is known as the dreaded eliminator. We've already lost two teams here. What you must do is look at the screen that appears.

Treguard You are given a situation. For example, -2 and +2. Then you go on to the first stage where you a given a question. MONDAY and JULY. Firstly, you must -2 on the Monday which will become Saturday, and then +2 on the JULY, which then becomes SEPTEMBER. A different situation is given for each of the 4 questions. If you don't get all these correct, the eliminator will swat you with a 20-Megawatt Fireball! You have 45 seconds per question! Go!

Majida We've lost many teams here, so be careful and be fast! To speed up your answer, a good idea is to set each person in your team one of the parts in the question.
