Level 3
Found bracelet and summoned Hordriss to give it to him. Earned two spells: TRANSFORMATION and BUT.

Death
...but never complete the spell. The magic was too long (they should have used BUT).
TES Classic Quest Review: Issue 8, Page 21
Team 2: Alistair, Harry, Martin and James from Woodbridge
Team 2's quest was for the Shield and lasted 50 minutes.
Level 1
Very nearly fell off the ledge in the Place of Choice. In fact, his right foot actually touched the studio floor! (You could hear this.) Were they let off? Probably!
They accept a task from Malice to retrieve a green gem for her.
Oakley: Scored 3.
Encountered an assassin at the wellway:
Alastair: "Begone, assassin ... GO AWAY!"
Level 2
Released Gundrada, who was stuck in the pillory.
Bought a boot with an enclosed spell from Merlin in return for gold.
Used the RUN spell to escape from Ariadne's Lair.
Level 3
Found the green gem and summoned Malice.
Malice: "You have the best of it, though. The name of the spell I gift you is HERO."
Death
Alistair chopped in half in the new Corridor of Blades:
Treguard: "I suppose that's a slice of life... You were sharp enough team, but so was the dungeon."
Team 3: Nicky, Corrina, Emma and Catherine from St. Albans
Team 3's quest was for the crown and lasted 36 minutes.
Level 1
Accepted a challenge from Hordriss, but he did not say what it was.
Found Brother Mace having lunch with an assassin!
Bribed the guard using gold they picked up from Oakley.
Used SMALL potion to shrink Nicky to fit through a tiny door, and then met Motley who helped reverse the spell with Grow-Me-Quick powder.
Level 2
Mellisandre was stuck in the stocks. Team gave Mellisandre a rope to help her get back to Level 1, but unusually got nothing in return.
Successfully negotiated the Block and Tackle.
Found Merlin stuck in the stocks and released him. Did not earn any magic from Merlin, however, because they didn't answer his riddle correctly.
Ceiling started lowering in the Doorkis drawbridge room.
This only happened once this series.
Death
In Ariadne's Lair, as they didn't have Merlin's magic for survival.
Team 4: Simon, Andrew, Richard and Andrew from Swansea
Team 4's quest was for the sword and lasted 26 minutes.
Level 1
In the eyeshield room, what looked like a witch was actually Malice in disguise. She sets a task for Simon to collect a leather-bound book and earn magic in return.
Fatilla was about to kill them in the forest, but then Pickle - yes, Pickle - appears in the game, saying that Simon was actually a 'military forager' and that he has been sent by his army to hunt for food.
Fatilla becomes friendly and takes Simon on to the next clearing, while Treguard gets rather angry at Pickle for interfering with the adventure. Oakley scares Fatilla away, and gives the team some hints about the clue objects. Also saw an old-style pooka. Took horn and hourglass and blew the horn when they met some goblins.
Wellway was guarded by a giant lizard, so they used the hourglass to freeze it.
Level 2
Gundrada was stuck in the stocks and demanded water. Once freed, she accompanied Simon in the hope that he could help retrieve her sword, which had been confiscated.
Hordriss was sitting at the entrance to the moving Corridor of Blades, and questioned Simon on the name of the sword he was after.
Gundrada tried to keep out of sight, forming letters to help the team.
Took the sword from Hordriss.
Earned a joker card from Brother Mace.
Death
In the Block and Tackle, Simon was guided straight into a pit! There was a large gap on the left of the dungeoneer, and one of the advisors told him to "sidestep your the left"!
Treguard: "You were never very good at manoeuvring, were you?"
