Wall monsters

[Wolfshead]

It's probably some kind of spirit then.

[Wolfshead]

How about blockers then?

[HStorm]

Yeah, blockers are wall monsters, although they don't seem to have a personality between them.

[Wolfshead]

Wouldn't it be funny if a dungeonere grabbed everything on the table and then ran out of the room straight away?

[Billy]

I imagine Olgarth/Granitas/Igneous/Golgarach/Brangwen would have let out laser bolts from their eyes and zap the dungeoneer, if that happened!

[Wolfshead]

They could maybe do that, but I think the door would rpobably close up befoer the dungeonere could get to it?

[Lowebo]

Didn't really like them - preferred Oakley and Brollachan

[Brendy]

In my opinion my favourite was the Brangwen-she as she was probably the easiest to understand.

What about the weeping doors though, as they served a pretty similar purpose. They personally annoyed me

The first strp is the archer....the arrrccchhherrr

[Wolfshead]

How did the wall monasters end up in the walls in the first place?

As well as threatening to eat dungeoneres they can also help them so I'd say they were neutral.

[HStorm]

How did the wall monasters end up in the walls in the first place?

The same way that the door monsters wound up in doors - an inanimate object was spell-bound.

[Wolfshead]

Spellbound walls eh hmm

i weould have found it funny if they had ate the gold tried to use the stale bit of food as abribe to Olaf (he was stupid anyway) and well then given the key away as a present -they certainly woudl not havr got far there would they???

[Wolfshead]

Who is your favourite cue room guardian? (You can't have the Brollachon because he could appear anywhere)

[TheBrollachan]

awww

[Wolfshead]

Golgarach and Oakley are my favourites.

[WillsOfDoom]

I like Golgarach, and the way he said 'Listen, puny Flesh' like no other. Clue rooms should have proper guardians, where dungeoneers have to earn the correct choice of objects. Scrolls in the later series were good to keep the pace quick, but there was much less effort needed to choose well.

[Wolfshead]

I agree guardians were essential at least at level one.

[knightmaredave]

i loved the brangwen she or brangwen b***h as i called her especially if she was in a mood poor julies team were denied further knowledge even with 2 correct riddles rather unfair i thought. igneus was also well a treat

[knightmaredave]

and looking at this i first posted something about wall monsters in 2004 shows how good my memory is lol still prefer brangwen tho!! always will

[Ironlord]

Seeing as I've shoved it in my signature I figured I'd better mention the hilarious line from my particular favourite of all the stone-faced personalities...

"I am Granitas of legend. MY NAME IS NOT AMUSING!"

Oh, yes it is, mate. Even watching that first time round as a nine-year-old that name raised a smirk or two.

Incidentally, would I be right in thinking that the original three wall monsters were something along the lines of Spitting Image puppets - i.e. that's someone's hand in a rubber mask, as opposed to a full face covering? Can't think of any other way they'd have done that... especially given that the two actors both appeared in full face shots in other parts of the quest...
