Classic question: Favourite Team Death?
-
My favourite death was from series 5. Dungeoneer, Chris, was turned into a goblin. Blocker - "PASSWORD!!!" Advisor - "Chris." Dungeoneer - "Yes" (in a goblin's voice) Advisor - "Say 'Red, Blue, Green and Grey'." Dungeoneer - (in a goblin's voice) Red, Green, Blue and Grey." Advisor - "No." Dungeoneer - "What?" Then the blocker ate the dungeoneer. Treguard - "Oooooh nasty. Team, Motley would've given you the password, but you just couldn't find him." (Classic.)

Everytime I view/ listen to a clip from the site it automatically saves it onto my hard drive, which I could always view/listen to without being online. I have them all on there for later viewing/listening. But anyway one of the favourite ones of mine which I keep viewing at the moment most of all is the sidestep left Simon one. It seems to get funnier to me everytime I watch it, not just the actual death itself but the music which followed it and the way the two advisors attack their clipboards afterwards.

How does Slyv Hands kill people merely by wrapping a rope round them?
I bet Martin Tool was the school bully and demanmded to go with them to knightmare, he wasnt friendly to the team throughout and they didnt call call him martin at any point
Also the face he pulls when hes called his advisors
-
That would have been interesting to see..., but dont get any ideas Galgarach! I like my life force the way it is....
-
Leaves the gold and takes the dagger "Nice and pointy I wonder if I could defeat Mogdred with this? Hey life force low! Now wich one of you should I eat...."
-
There is only 2 classics for me
One Sly Hands captuer of January with his "Magic Rope"
and my top favirote.
Richard Trying to bribe Skarkill with a goblin Horn
"GO ON Blow the Horn else I'll put the manicals on you now."
Richard blows the horn and the fimilear sound comes out.
"Hahahah Thats a Goblin Horn That you Horribale little thing and I am Skarkill Master Of The Goblins.
"I have you now"
Richard pleads that its a magic horn.
"Magic Horn. Oh No It's Not. I'm Going To Put My Irons On You."
**BONG
"Ohhh Nasty. Oh too bad if only you had had the Gold you could have bribed him."**
and then to add insult to injure as you see Skarkill and Richard sucked through a portal to Mt Fear oyu hear Skarkill mocking the advisors
"Hehehe LOVELY."
Actually I also enjoy the death of the first dugeoneer in sereis 8 (also called Richard)
Unable to open the trap door to level 2 Bhal-Shebah enters the chamber and say's
"Oh Good A Tasty Helping Of Dinner. Now The Only Question For Us Is. Cooked? Or Raw."
He blows a fierball at them
**BONG
"Ohhh Nasty"**

Copied from the "KM Top 10" thread...
(Gah! Double post! Bad Cull! X_x )
Well, it's not what I said I was going to do, but I thought I'd shove in my list of "Top 15 Dungeoneer Deaths". I tried cutting it down to 10, but felt I had a few extra I wanted in the list so chucked them in too. I thought about doing this as an overall "means of death", but some individual instances stick out more than others for me.
15 - Skarkill (S5.2)
As I said in the S5 episode thread about this death, I did feel it was a bit of bad luck and misfortune on the team for "hurriedly grabbing" the wrong item. Plus they try so hard to plea their way out of Skarkill's hands, yet are pretty much doomed from the moment Skarkill reaches them. You just feel so sorry for those guys!
14 - Sylvester Hands (S6.4)
Okay, so the "death" itself isn't such a great one. But to see the skull from the original Life Force just when you thought it had gone forever really knocks this death up a notch!
13 - B&T (S4.4)
For giving us the whole "Sidestep to your left!" joke. Plus it's so sudden and hilarious that you can't help but join Treguard in laughing... even the advisors seem to be holding themselves back from laughing!
12 - Cedric (S2.7)
Hooray! Cedric gets a kill! It's one of those deaths that you wonder about... "what would happen if Cedric got his way with a dungeoneer?", and here it is - Quarterstaff practice where only Cedric gets a staff.
11 - Dividing Rod Room (S2.
Maybe not a great one to a lot of people, but it's one that's stuck with me in memory since the first time I saw it. It's one that gave me a real sense of "Well, let's see them get out of this mess then!"
10 - Life Force Expire (S2.12)
Another of those deaths you want to see... the Life Force expiring. And that's precisely how this team died. True, it was because they didn't get Merlin's magic (probably a spell like ENERGY to restore the Life Force), but the fact that they died this way makes this death a special one to me.
9 - Thin Causeway (S3.6)
Another one that's stayed with me since I first saw it. The long, tense trip Ross takes along that causeway is real edge-of-your-seat stuff, and having watched them work their way through Level 2 throughout the episode makes you want them to make it. and then at the last moment they fall, and the way the LF skull pops out fo the bottom of the screen - what a finish!
8 - COB (S8.2)
It was hard to think of which COB death stood out the most, but I think we can all agree the "red paint" of the S8 team makes it stand out (in more ways than one!). I do feel it's a bit unfair, as the impression was made that "if you don't have the Insight spell/potion, you're scuppered", which is a load of rubbish considering how others have done okay without such spells, so it feels that however well they did here they would have died... sorry, I'm rabbiting on here. Either way, classic example of how the COB can finish of both good and bad quests.
7 - Morghana (S3.11)
It's not so much the means of death here, but more the urgency of the situation. I've watch this team time and time again (they're one of my favourites), and every time they're at this point I want one of the advisors to yell "Martin! Run forwards!!!! NOW!!!!". A sad end to a fine quest that IMHO deserved to win!
6 - Dreadnought (S6.2)
Say what you like about the S6-7 Life Force, but it's used to it's best here. The music really adds tension to the "that's it, we're boned" situation, and the way Dreadnought utters "WITH NO WORD... YOU HAVE REACHED JOURNEY'S END..." sends a chill down your spine, and another as the Skeleton LF sequence appears and crumbles before your eyes...
5 - Merlin's Room (S3.9)
You want them to make it. You really do. And he does make it. It's just that follow up step when he stands which makes you grab your head in your hands and shout "nooooooooooooooooo!" as he tumbles into the abyss...
4 - Dark Wellway (S1.1)
Yep, the first ever death had to have a place in here. The way the "dark" version of the Knightmare theme gets used here is brilliant stuff... another spine-tingler.
3 - Ariadne (S4.3)
Yep, another spine tingler. It's the crunching noise that does it.
2 - Ghost Sword (S3.2)
Sword hits, Chris, Life Force gets put on Fast Forward. You pretty much see his entire life get drained out of him! Top stuff!
1 - Medusa (S2.3)
And my top one is this one... the Medusa. The eerie sound effects in the background add to the sense that the team have lost, and you've gotta love the advisors getting turned to stone too! This is one of those deaths where I can't help but rewind and rewatch every time I watch it!
-
Well KM has such variety that there are so many great deaths. Some such as Simon's left stepping and the red paint spillage stand out for being funny. One that made me laugh was the team who turned their dungeeoner "invisible" (with star symbol) and fell off the centre part of the cave in S3 because they 4got to say stop!!!! Made me fall of a chair laughing ;D

Favourite dungeoneer deaths
Charming ;D
Posted by: Dunshelm Posted on: 18.11.2003 at 22:16:18
Lets not forget the one where they guide the little 'star' off the cliff.
That was the same as what Lord_Bob said wannit? ;D
My favourite death was James and crew (Series 3 Team 5) They kept sidestepping to the left when there was clearly no where to stand... That was pretty pathetic don't you...
-
Of course, they weren't alone in that...
-
Hmm lemme see .. in no order...
COB -S8 team 2
Causeway s6 team 6 - how could you not love how victory was snatched away like that.
Skarkill S5 team 2 - Magic horn LOL
Ariadne - s4 team 3
s5 team 7 - eaten by blocker
s3 team 10 - hello to the goblins
s8 team 1 - soooooooo deserving to be burned by a dragon.
and #1 BLOCK AND TACKLE S4 team 4!!!!!! oh you know why.

I Have to say that Team 7 Series 5 team Death by the Blocker was o.k. but are they stupid using the couler code.
But the Team 10 Series 3 was Good Surrounded by Goblin .they are Goblin Fodder.

my top 3 dungeneer deaths.
at 3 its Sumayas death series 6 team two with the dreadnought as they did not have the password they could have earned from heggaty
at 2 its Julie's from series 3 team 10 with the goblins ( should have got that riddle right from Merlin. I knew the answer.
and it number 1 is a tie with simon from series 4 team 4 when his advisor told him to sidestep left and Scotts death from series 3 team 9 when he leaped the gap and onto the second step. Should have got the riddle right from Golgarach mate.
