Series 1 - Episode 2
-
I dont know, but its funny ;D
-
I think it's most likely a scripted deliberate mistake, written in either to emphasise the fact that characters can get angry towards Treguard, even if he is the dungeon master - or just to show that there was more than one wall monster.
"When Granitas sleeps, Olgarth awakens" - remember...

Oops, someone else posted a topic while I was writing mine! Let's use this one.
Hmm, interesting episode today. The dungeoneer was let off in the bomb room I think, because she walked forward towards the bomb, before being correctly guided out. Also turned left towards the snake in the next room! Clearly the dungeonner knew her left and right, but the advisers didn't
Ooh, they got 3 right on the wall monster's riddles! However, I was amused that they kept trying to decide which items to take while they were being asked the riddles!
They almost took the soap and the comb (correct items), but eventually only took the soap! Since when have teams only been allowed to take one item from a clue room? Reminds me of Akash's team in another series...
Even though the wall monster gave them all the information they needed: All that glitters is not gold, needing to wash their mouth out, and 'she who values her appearance'. That should have told them to take the comb!
Lillith wasn't amused when the team tried to offer her a block of soap rather than a comb! "Boulders crack and that ledge crumble!" I keep expecting Treguard to say "Ooh, Nasty!" but he doesn't in this series...
Why does Team 3's dungeoneer keep holding his arms out when walking? (I have a habit of doing that as well, and I'm from Yorkshire - coincidence?) The giant speaks a bit like the BFG (in Roald Dahl's book) - another coincidence?
And in the giant room, the dungeoneer's light blue shirt seemed to be interfering with the bluescreen technology - sometimes he appears semi-transparent!
The next session with the wall monster, they scored 3/3. When Treguard mentioned about calling out 'I command you' to gain a bonus, some of the advisers were discussing what they would command the wall monster to do (perhaps unblock the bricked up door) - whereas the commanding was just getting more information!
Time out occurred just as the team was exiting the bomb room. It in fact froze as the picture was flying off into the distance (incidentally, the same red background used for the Red life force).

Tom, there is that handy delete button on the board just above your posts. You can always delete the similar thread to this one that you made. Anyway back to the ep. Hmm We see Lilliths first death, but don't witness a fall as such. Lillith Crumbled the edge and we say Maeve standing in midair before the lifeforce took over covering her. Also I keep wondering when sidestepping came into effect.
-
For some reason I find it hard to understand what granitas or olgarth are saying. Am I the only one with this problem? It was probably background noise that was interfering with my need to listen but I still think there was some 'mumbling' on behalf of the wall monsters.
Both teams very impressively showed off their knowledge, better than I would have, but unfortunately for the first team they didn't use the valued advice. Was disappointed not to see the dungeoneer's fall before the death sequence!
Yes it is strange that this recent dungeoneer holds his arms out, but I think he does it to check whether or not there are any walls he might walk into, which seems sensible.

It was alright, I think if anything it confirmes what I thought all along, that series 1, although it must've seamed great at the time, dosn't really hold up to the other series (don't kill me). Nah, I enjoyed it - just seamed a little samey - they hadn't perfected it and hadn't got it just right yet. And there dosn't seam to be anything special, other than walking through rooms and talking.
I notice that in this series, they keep getting the dungeoneer to turn a lot to navigate through the rooms - instead of the usual sidestepping. Its always "turn right... no, not that far, a little bit to your left... no now a small bit to your right..." makes for some quite painful viewing after a while - they obviously told them in later series that its much easier to sidestep.
Anyway, sorry for being negative, I'll shut up now, it was great, really - just not KM at its best IMO...

True, this series is, understandably, just not as polished as others.
Oddly, despite the fact it isn't as linear as, say, series 4, it feels repetitive because it's only 2 episodes old and we're on the 3rd team. Folly must be waiting in the wings, getting considerably annoyed.
I'll see if it grows on me...
-
Several firsts in this episode: First appearance of Granitas and the giant, first time a dungeoneer got all riddles correct, and first Progress Report. I love the way Treguard says 'And now, time turns, the fire burns, time out is gone, the quest is on'! It was silly of the team to take only one object, especially as one of the advisors had said 'Take the comb and the soap' earlier. And Mauve somehow floated in the air after the ledge crumbled!
By the way, Lord Fear, if someone starts a discussion thread, it's best to provide your own summary of the episode instead of saying 'Discuss'.
-
We have yet to see a couple more characters. I missed the first 10mins so I don't know what happened from when todays ep started upto when I turned in. Did any of the yet to be seen charaters make their first appearences?So far as well as Folly, we have yet to see The Monk and Merlin.

Since when have teams only been allowed to take one item from a clue room? Reminds me of Akash's team in another series...
Well in fact teams have always been allowed to take only one object if they wanted to, that's their decision. Not a wise one of course, but still their choice. The only limitation is that they aren't allowed to carry MORE than two at a time.
By the way, Akash didn't make do with one object in the next season, he just took a very obviously WRONG object...

I think this is a case though of watching Series 3-8 on Challenge which are all great series, and then when watching Series 1, it just seems a bit rubbish and very outdated, and its just something we havnt been used to in seeing. Its still good to watch it from Series 1 again though
Comments on this episode
Thought the team were funny in the clue room, They tryed to pick up items in the middle of the riddles and when the wall monster appeared first of all as well.
The Death - It was an unfortunuate death, but they only had themselves to blame. First They were told they could pick up 2 items when they started the quest, and also one of the girls was clearly heard saying
" I'm sure that relates to picking up the comb, so shall we pick up the comb"
How sad when they quickly ditched that idea, and picked up the soap, but if they picked up the comb as well, they would have survived. Also trying to think what the soap would be used for, but it could be used in the serpants stomach to escape????? So YES a sad death and it could be said that Why didnt Treguard Tell them to pick up another item, but they were told anyway, so its still their fault.
Team 3 - Whats with the dungioneer, He keep holding his arms out, and he looks funny and looks more like a puppet
Odd Things - Did anyone notice that on both times for Team 2 and 3, that the life force resetted BEFORE they put the food into the napsack in the clue rooms. Also when Team 3 left the Clue room, It made the room change noise/animation and yet the team were no where near the door.
Funny Stuff - When Team 3 get all 3 questions right, Treguard says quite clearly and loudly they can call out "I Command You to get a bonus" but I burst out laughing when the dungioneer said " So what should I do now then" and then its made worse when the team discuss with him what he should take. Treguard has to remind them AGAIN to yell out "I command You" and yet they still dont do it for about a brief second, So funny
Anyway Roll on Episode 3

Treguard probably thought... for goodness sake are you deaf or just very stupid.

The gong made its debut in this episode.
A fair few of the characters in this series have yet to make their debut because they're based in Level Two and no team has managed to get there yet.
Doubtless the first team in today's episode didn't read the rules properly, or at least didn't interpret them intelligently enough. The Adventurer's Code states that a Dungeoneer may carry a "maximum of two" objects. This implies that if you can carry two, you ruddy well take two!
Series 1 suffers in a similar way to series 4 and 7 in terms of repetitive dialogue, I think. Series 2 improves vastly, though, with a lot more variation. I'll say no more, though.

Not to bad,
But i don't like the way Treguard has to repeat the rules of the clue room questions right after the monster as said it.
2-0 so far, We had a team locked in a black room and died of starvation and another fell to there death thanks to the evil Lilith.. well if you could call that falling..
And i think the Actors.. who with seen are still getting into character.. Treguard still doesn't sounds quite right... but season one was never at best.. it just special..and when your trying something new for the 1st time you can't expect it to work straight away.
