KNIGHTMARE UNIVERSITY CHALLENGE

Here you must identify a particular dungeoneer’s quest as your starter for ten, and then identify which characters are responsible for three quotes from that quest as the bonuses for five points each. If you answer the starter correctly then you can have a go at the quotes, but if you get a starter wrong then the bonuses that follow it cannot count towards your total score. Keep track of your points as you work through the questions, and see how well you performed by reading the legend at end of this section.
