Ariadne

Wolfshead

I thought that Ariadne was one of the best monsters in series 4. I mean that giant lizard never did anything and the Goblins didn't get anyone

LordSmear

What was the name of the huge spider in the early series???

was it ariadni?

Snowcat

"Ariadne"

Was named during the mid and later seasons (approx 3-onwards). Up until then the spider that appears was simply an anonymous hazard.

LordSmear

yes, i knew it!

Thanks for your help.

Just started watching first few series is again. what memories

HStorm

In fact she was named on her very first appearance, which was team 2 season 2.

LordSmear

oops we have been corrected.

and she that brilliant bit of deep music accompying her steps, so class

Snowcat

In fact she was named on her very first appearance, which was team 2 season 2.

Was she?

Damn! Ye got me again....

knightmaredave

and that por team of girlsin series 4 who were quite nastily ate by her it soulds as if tregard wantedto say ooh nasty but went oooh and then what a pity

Suicidal_Steve

imagine what it would be like for the dungeoneer being chased by shelob from lord of the rings

SemtexJack

Shelob? Shelob?

How dare you mention her name in this place.....still, better than mentioning Aragog I suppose.

I must admit to being something of an Ariadne worshipper.

Maybe I'll start my own cult.

Wolfshead

Hey how about Ungoliant!

SemtexJack

Ah The Gloomweaver! Forgot about her.

I suppose she should be classed as a higher being than Shelob. After all Ungoliant is reputed to have eaten herself, a bizarre demise. Worthy of some respect.

LordSmear

saw ariadne's debut tonight in series 2 in which she is clearly named, the kids were REALLY stupid in those days, you could even hear Treguard chuckling to himself

Drassil

I must admit to being something of an Ariadne worshipper.

Maybe I'll start my own cult.

This idea has already been explored, quite effectively... have a look at the character Celania, and her adventures, on the Roleplay Forum.

LordSmear

today i saw the ep where ariadne scared off cedric, woohoo

Wolfshead

Which version of Ariadne's lair was best?

Also why do you think she was missed out of series 3 and then brought back for series 4?

Jericho6

Season 2. The season 4 version just didn't look like a spider's lair.

I don't know why she was missed out of season 3. Maybe they just had a lot of other stuff they wanted to use? $:-\$

Wolfshead

I always liked the idea of the lair being in a dark and dingy forrest, thoug I suppose a cave would've been just as good.

What I didn't like was on the later series when the lair was just in an ordinary looking room with a web in it or could be accessed through the Cloudwalker.

I think Ariadne would've been good in the caves near the end of level two, where she could have been used to hurry teams along. I think she'd have been a lot better than that giant frog that did nothing.

Jericho6

oh, she was in a forest in season 4? Ah, ok. I was thinking of the one where she was in that room from level 1 in season 3.

Yeah, a forest is a good place for a spider's lair - but I'm a purist, and I don't like forests being in KM in the first place ¬_¬

Wolfshead

Yeah, i always prefered that sub-terranian feel, where the dungeoneer seemed to be going deepter and deeper underground rather than going through the forrest to find a castle with a wellway that just leads through more castle rooms and another forrest. I'm not keen on forrest in KM as a whole, but I think they were a good idea in series 4, but there should have just been one forrest which would have made the season a bit less repetative.
