The Descender jamming between floors.

Oh I still must be the only person who liked VI (and the fish). I can imagine you get stuck with Fatilla he'd probably say something like "I'll blip ya and I'll blop ya if you don't get us outa here".
Anyway changing the subject slightly how about Jade Goody and back to the subject me and Gundrada. Hmm Elita and Gundrada could be interesting and so could Elita and Jade.

The Gatemaster and me. He's powerful, and familiar with lifts, so I reckon he'd be able to free us. Plus, I'd like to find out more about him. Whether that desire would be mutual, I don't know...
-
I would HATE to be stuck in a lift with Ariadne- put it that way, simply terrified-
Maybe myself and Greystagg- although neither of us would be very good at making conversation considering all she's interested in is witch amber. And how can you talk about witch amber for three hours!?
As for two km characters, well, it would be entertaining to see Merlin, and a goblin stuck in a lift.

Myself and the Boat Man
5 minutes silence
Me:"Erm, is that a new cloak you've got over your head?"
BM:"Grumph."
2 more minutes silence
"I hear you cross rivers in a boat."
"Murph."
17 minutes silence.
"I think I'm going insane here..."
"Me too, as a matter of fact."
"Sorry, what did you just say?"
"Er, I mean-'mmurph.'"
Suddenly being trapped in a lift with Lord Fear doesn't seem so bad.

I think both the Boatman and Brother Strange go to the same tailor. They both go for the 'scruffy cowl hiding face' look.
Do you think the boatman is meant to be Charon, the dead guy that rows souls to Hades (AKA Level 3)?
-
Yes. In the same way that Festus is supposed to be Cerberus, the three-headed guard dog of Hades.
-
Hades was both the name of the god who ruled the Underworld, and, via metonymy, was a name given to his kingdom.
-
In the book "Sorceror's Isle" the boatman is Charon and the river is the Styx, I have often though that the Dunswater could really be the Styx and the boatman could be Charon.
The idea of level 3 being the Isle of the dead ties in with the level 3 of "Labarynth of Fear" as that is Hell, Hades or Tartarus.
