Series 5 Episode 6
-
I thought this team were good. Makes me a minority around here!
They should have taken the necklace instead of the key I think. The scroll hinted at the ruby and to avoid the key.
Still it might have been revenge for carrying Poison instead of Gwendoline's arrow in Level 1 despite a subtle hint from Treguard. They would have to be flawless to win after that blunder. In previous Series Gwen would have refused to help them and as a result they would have died on the Blocker.
-
Actually, knowing me I would of taken the Key instead of the Necklace like they did, silly me, I never think about things properly.
But when the Dungeoneer was in the decender, did I hear her say "What's happaning Helen?".....She seems to have more respect for her than her fellow advisors, lol. Actually when she died, Helen(I think) looked absolutly gutted.
But......death by blades was the best bit. The Skull was nicely used.

I say serves this team right, they kept taking too long over everything anyway and they were so stupid not to give the lady the Gem
The lady clearly hinted she wanted a gem, and said if you give to me to me, I will Help you, Also the team knew this lady was on the good side but I cant believe they debated about it. Hard to say what would have happened if they did give it to her in time, I reckon a sight Spell to see further in the corridor or blades or most likely she would have come along with her to help her dodge the blades.
Oh well, enough of her, now lets enjoy the winning team this coming week

Cheers as I havent seen this in many years I do try and avoid the result you know just like with the football on a Saturday.
Anyway episode 6. Firstly the Gatemaster. Nice cossie great booming voice and I was after his speech expecting somthing. " Everything you have done before leads to me ..... now get in the decnder please pass go and collect 200 pounds ". I realy was expecting a question or somthing alike and maybe you would live if you got it right.
Does this team also get an award for being the defest team ever. Even when they do actualy hear somthing they want it spelt out TWICE.
I dont think being slow with the gem had anything to do with the COB death. Personaly I think that was just down to being slow in the COB. I think the advisors shout right 5 times and she hardly started to move. I dont think Elita would have gone with them r shown another exit personaly I think maybe she would have provided another spell or password or somthing similar.
A late reply to episode 6 but I had it on tape and only got to it today.

- She goes along with them and helps them avoid the blades.
Only Gundrada's stupid enough to do that.
Besides, most of the teams that went through the CoB didn't NEED help. I think it's more an exercise in "How well can the advisers direct their Dungeoneer/can the Dungeoneer react to directions". Meaning that this team were doomed from the outset...

My sentiments exactly.
that elf woman asked if they had anything else.. i'm wondering if that would have been used to get the info.. after all i doubt she would have done even if the team gave her the rudy soon as possible.
Well, to avoid spoliers I'll just say watch out for how the next team deals with her...
I wouldnt go so far as to call Elita a lady
She'd probably be offended. I certainly would be...
-
Just a couple of further points:
-
There was a spyglass in the Corridor of Blades which proved to be a very good distraction as the tem were intent on picking it up and were too slow (although that's no surprise) in reacting to the incoming blade hence met their tragic end.
-
The Corridor of Blades only makes two appearances this season - I won't say too much otherwise it migh turn into a spoiler....

Bumping this thread for tonight's episode!
Resumed on the Earth/Air/Fire causeway. Navigated brilliantly and got through. I think they should have died at one point, as the dungeoneer's feet were on one tile as it fell down. Perhaps they were let off.
In the next room they found a chest, with a skull going up and down over it. Although they waited for the skull to move up before going to the chest, they failed to tell the dungeoneer to duck down as it moved down again - damaging their life force! The skull disappeared as they opened the chest with the key though. Inside was a scroll, with one word, PIXEL, on it. They thought this must be a spell.
Came into an internal castle room, where they got food. But then Skarkill and the goblins appeared, so they had to spellcast PIXEL. This caused Pixel the Pixie to appear, and used her needle on Skarkill to make him run away! Then they thanked Pixel for her help, and Pixel requested they magic her away again. So they had to disspell LEXIP to make her disappear.
Arrived in front of a tower with a metal gate in the front. Cautiously approached it. When the camera changed to a closer view, the Gatekeeper appeared serving 'neither the powers that be nor the opposition'. Told him their name and quest, and were allowed into the Descender. (metal door opened)
The Gatekeeper gave them information that Level 2 was 5 levels down, 6 up and 2 down. At first they thought they had to make the lift go down 5, up 6 and 2 down - but the dungeoneer cleverly noticed that adding those numbers up would just be 1 level down! Told the Descender to go down 1 level, and it did.
This team became the first to get to Level 3 this season. There was only one door that the Descender stopped at, and it had a Frightknight symbol above it!
Arrived outside a castle, where I sort of expected a blocker to jump out - but there was no wall so it couldn't! They found some food and clue objects. One scroll said 'The key to my dungeon is the jewel in my crown'. The other one said just 'GHOST' so they thought it was a spell. The spells don't count as items, so they decided to take the key and the jewel. A skull appeared and chased them out!
Encountered Elita in the next area doing a ritual. Elita told them to get out fairly quickly, giving them directions - but also heard that 'ruby red' was a part of her incantation. Took a LONG time deciding whether to give Elita the ruby or not. Eventually they decided to give it to her - but Elita just ran off with it and didn't help!
I think it was because they took so long deciding that put them in losing status, had they just given it straight away Elita would probably have helped.
Next was the Corridor of Blades, where they got chopped in half - ooh, nasty! Wait, was that the original Life Force Skull? Knice! Treguard said that Elita could have saved them, but they took too long to decide. Too bad we never got to see them use the GHOST spell.
Next team got a free ride from Smirkenoff into Level 1, and arrived in front of a castle. There were a few clue objects on a table there - an arrow, a fish, a spy-glass, a scroll, some rope and a bag of Silver. They took the fish as food, then read the scroll. It said 'Look - but not here'. Taking the scroll's advise, they took the spy-glass (but didn't use it) and silver, and went into the castle.
Through an eye-shield sequence into a castle courtyard. Here, they found Motley trapped in the stocks. Motley referred to the dungeoneer as 'elmet-ed' and asked him to come over. They couldn't release Motley from the stocks, because they needed a key. Timed out as they were talking to Motley.
View of a castle moat and bridge under the credits, negative so it looked strange. Look out for a negatived bird flying across the picture!

I'm just do the level 3 bit
The clue room looked quite like a blocker chamber to me, I was tryng to remember if they had a password.
"The gem was the key to the dungeon," this would suggest to me that they wouldn't have any use for the key, but the team thought differently.
Elita seemed to be in the middle of some ritual and wanted the gem/firestone. Team didn't get help as they dithered about before deciding.
Next, Treyguard sent them up the stairs - that wouldn't have happened under the old regime!
Into a speedy corridor of blades. Also, this serious there is no warming, they just appear in the corridor.
-
Judging by all the near misses, I was surprised they got off the first causeway! Somehow, even after they decided to stand in front of a skulls path, they eventually entered Level 3...only to get killed off in the CoB after once again taking a ridiculous time to...well, do anything. I can't blame Elita for running off like that, I'm surprised she didn't die of boredom.
But this knew team have got to a promising start!
-
and they had 2 warnings from Treguard and Pickle to hurry up but they still took their time. Prehaps they needed to use the ghost spell to survive the CoB's?
-
They probably would've been able to get through the CoB had Sarah have went to the right when directed there. I couldn't help wondering if Sarah could always here her advisors such as in the CoB as she didn't always respond to commands and sometimes questioned what the advisors said. Same thing though with other teams sometimes.
Hmmm it seems to me that Elita is Pickle's sister, but Pickle wont admit to it.
-
erm if the ruby weas the key to my dingeon(being lord fear's) then they wouldnt have needed the other key. maybe elita wanted the necklace not the ruby. she did ask for anything else other than the ruby. also if they'd given her the necklace maybe elita would have positioned them better in the corridor of blades or told them to throw themselves from wall to wall instead of running off into the distance. Maybe..
oh well
-
Well it's about time! Endless delays and dithering do not make for entertainment. Getting your legs chopped off does. After the causeway there was some I can't remember but it envolves Skarkill and Pixel the Welsh pixie, the gatemaster, and the Descender. (Love that descender!) Met Elita trying to summon Satan. At least I presume that's what she was doing. Took a ridiculously long time to decide to fork over the goods before Elita ran. Chopped in the CoB. Reckon it was her own fault as she seemed to just be meandering straight into the blades. New team get a spyglass and meet Motley before time out.
-
I remember back in the day that I hated this team, well not hated, that's a bit strong, but for some reason I was never overly keen on them and so when Elita stomped off with the jewel and left them, I was over the moon! I think they probably could have survived the CofB with better navigation, but that they weren't supposed to, rather like the last team in S4 with the sped-up puzzles they faced in level 3!
-
I think she'd have probably given them some magic for a later encounter. Did the team have a GHOST spell too? Funny they didn't cast it. Mind you, they didn't have time for anything. That was just mean putting that food in the middle of the corridor, threw them completely when the blades came so quickly!
