    Suppose the KM Crew felt the tension levels needed to be increesed OR maby they were trying to keep the idear fresh.

      It's a pity if that's the case, because I actually preferred it when there was less emphasis on having Sight potions etc. and more  on the skill of directing a dungeoneer on a safe path. I mean, the rest of the team were often referred to as 'guiders'. There was  more tension when you simply had to rely on their directions. If they could keep their heads, then the dungeoneer would be safe and if not - well, nice red splatter everywhere.

        As has been mentioned before, the inclussion of spells was indeed to add tension, generally, even if some were rather useless.

        When the site returnes, ahev a look at TC's interview, goes into detail there.

        I preferred Blades when it was down to just the team and the Dungoeneer.  It was certainly fun to see tham panic sometimes  😉

            Imagine if that 'nice' Mogdred gave the team a spell, just to be ever so helpful you understand...

            Okay, spellcasting - S-P-L-A-T.

            HEY! Why are we dead? WHAT HAPPENED?!!

            So - you can never rely too heavily on magic to get you out of a tricky spot.

              What would have happened if Barry and team had had a lapse of stupidity and tried to have the forcefield around the shield removed instead of that of the troll-hammer?

              My own guess is that "Gwen" wouldn't have removed the forcefield or something, and another troll would have come in and thumped Barry...

              And the troll probably would've fallen onto Fear anyway by a mistake. But that's just my guess!

                What if the Lightning Rod wasn't on Captain N's ship and Red Death got to Knightmare Castle?

                  To both the last two pasts above mine, see this post (ages old):

                  http://www.talkknightmare.co.uk/yabbse/http://www.knightmare.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=1;action=display;threadid=127;start=msg2245

                  I personally agree with what is said there - I suppose the crew would have just told the team to re-film if they went for the shield, or maybe Greystagg would have refused, perhaps reminding the team of her statement "If it harms Lord Fear, I will help", and then Barry would ask her to release the hammer.

                  Although, what would have happened if Barry had not taken the Short Cut through the corridor of blades or not taken either the FREEZE potion (used on Sylvester Hands AFTER the Corridor of Blades) or the FAST BACKWARD potion (which they used to get back to Knightmare Castle)? Also, with Julie's team, what would have happened if she walked onwards without summoning Greystagg?

                    I've always wondered, if you look at things from Smirkenoff's point of view, does it appear to him that a dungeoneer just materialises out of nowhere or does he have a portal glued to his back from which a dungeoneer emerges from? It must be very hard for him to lay down at night if there is a ruddy great piece of black card stuck to him!

                      Why is it that Lillith has the power to conjure magical causeways, but not hair brushes or humbugs?

                      Who ordained any of the monks, and why? I don't imagine their eccelsiastical interviews would have gone that well:

                      Bishop: And finally, brothers, what is the central tenet of faith?

                      Cedric: CLOBBER ALL THE DOGSBOTTOMS!

                      Mace: hic I-I-I...'m shorrry, bish, what was that?

                      Strange: Many trees grow over the sleeping river, but only the butterfly laughs at dawn....

                      How did certain things get past the censors on a children's programme? Namely:

                      The 'Uppers' pills

                      Marta

                      Skarkill's chains fetish

                      The Reach wand (maybe that last one is just me being an English student and spotting phallic symbols but... oo-er)

                          Why is it that in Series 7, Treguard informs Team 3 after their death that their quest was the longest when it was really Team 1 who were the longest!

                            *Kieran and Drassil with Emii here

                            Motley ~ Methinks it is based on the fact both reached Play Your Cards Right. Evidently he was getting fed up of deaths, so decided it would do him some good if he felt the Powers That Be were actually making progress!

                              Some More Mysteries:

                              • Sidriss' father is, as we know, Hordriss. Who's her mother?

                              • LF at start of Series 7: "I ask for a Seneschal, they send me a tadpole" Who are the 'they' in question?

                                I think perhaps that you should've added contains spoilers to the subject bit!

                                  In Series 4 Mallice gave one team a HERO spell, she said it was summon someone long dead to the cause.

                                  The Question it who would it have summoned, Gundrada?

                                    I don't think Gundrada was dead.

                                    Maybe it would've been a Launcelot character, or the ghost of King Alfred the Great?

                                      Dead long to the cause! Cripes! Who would that be I wonder, any ideas?

                                        In Series 8 you can carry two objects, at a time in the knapsack... How does that work if you have the reach wand too?

                                          Remember, magic objects often didn't count (cf. Series 4's 'Etruscan brandy').
