Series 2 - Episode 8

HStorm

I think the main reason they re-jigged the corridor of spears was that it looked a bit woolly in season 1. This was because once the dungeoneer passed a set of spears back then they had to stop them moving or otherwise they'd block the advisors' view. That was fair play, but it still looked a bit rubbishy in practise so they reset them to a lower level on the screen so they could keep them moving at all times.

This team is actually one of my all-time favourites. They're not exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer but they're still assertive and provide a lot of fun banter.

Fidjit

Strange way of dealing with a Cavern Wraith (ghost), by holding up the magic dagger!
Cavern Wraith! What does that look like?

HStorm

A sheet. $:-\$

Fidjit

Oh that again... They certainly liked table-cloths that year didn't they...

Crispin

IV) Notice one of the advisors say "Who's that woman in there?" in the four door room. He seemed quite curious. After winning Battle Chess, the team seemed very relieved. They were certainly pleased with themselves, even though the puzzle itself was a piece of cake to solve.

They also seemed chuffed when Mogdred dissappeared with one of them shouting "Got him!"

keke

you know when they disspelled it, did they spell it wrong. coz i thought they did. starting with o then something. i was just

Purgatory

^ to disspell you have to say the letters in the wrong order,

keke

i know, i thought u had to spell it backwards. but if u have to spell it backwards then they started with o then summit. im probably wrong and u can say the letters in any order but whenever i've seen teams dispelling they spelled it backwards instead of ohdurs.

No in series 1 Treguard explains:

To cast a spell call out "Spell-casting" followed by the right letters in the right order.

To dis-spell call out "Dis-spell" followed by the right letters but in the wrong order.

The reason many teams dis-spell by reversing the letters is because it is easier as you know which letters you have used. (Well I think it is easier)

HarveyTowers

One team a bit later on used to put the last letter to the start hten the rest in tbe coorect order

e.g Dispell S-D-I-S-M-I-S

dontyoulikemypie

A classic team here! Could they all have been dyslexic? First the shroud incident, then the shovel/spade debacle! Treguard hams it up wondefully under Mogdred's "control" - funny he can't do anything except point out the missing letter! And how much does Mogdred overreact to them dispelling the shroud anyway? It's like the end of the world or something, the way he shrieks and vanishes!

Question,

when faced with a wall-monster or dreadnought,

and you havent a god-damn clue what the answer is,

why not just run the f*** away?

I always wondered that when I was a child, when I watched it regularly.

HarveyTowers

Because the only way is onward - there is no turnoing back!

GranitasIsCute

I've just noticed that the Level 1 clue room was a bit unfair. The Adventurer's code specifically states that aggression breeds aggression and to not take weapons. However, this team took the dagger and it was the right one to take!

I think for some reason in later series in particular, teams dispell the spell backwards.

HStorm

Close. The code actually states that dungeoneer's should assume weapons are the weapons of their enemies unless there are other indicators.

LL!

Strange quest this.

First they appear to pick up the wrong object be still pass Mildred.

They then take the left hand door with not consequence.

And used the Dagger, usually weapons are useless, Tregaurd had said this many times on the show.

Then we have a pointless first level 2 room and an almost empty clue room.

Mogdred up to this own tricks again, i'm surprised they didn't use this as a chance to kill the team off.. they took ages, life force should have drained.

Wonder what they 'word' was for? maybe we'll find out next week.

Canadanne

The left-hand door was correct, as Mildread tried to trick them into taking the other exit. But yes, there are a few strange things about this quest.

wombstar

I thought she was trying to guide them into the pot... wasn't paying enough attention.

EvelynMason

That must of been the show from tonight. It was the famous incident where they got the word 'Shroud' mixed up. Treguard - "Letter O !..."

Even then it was still spelled incorrectly with the dis-spell and Mogdred was far too lenient towards them with all their errors. . They should of perished.

The Ariadne spider room gave them far too much time, and the room with the chess board and killer Bishop was just unnecessary and took up too much time when they could of been doing other things, such as better and more interesting rooms ?

It wasn't a very memorable episode tonight and that team seems very incompetent at times and don't think they may get very far. They've rode their luck, wasted too much time, and the villains have been far too lenient. I wouldn't want any team killed off, but they have been irritating at times.
