Series 8 - Episode 1
-
Lol, yea and the middle last guy stopped suddenly and the very last guy ran into the back of him. Especially when the Giddeon guy shouted STOP and almost had a heart attack when the snap dragon jumped out, that was funny.
Oh yes, I remember their entrance very cool.
The first episode of series 8 was something of a shocker for me when it was first shown. I don't think I'd seen a team lose on level 1 before, so to me it seemed like the game had upped the difficulty considerably. I didn't get the puzzle first time round either...mind you, I never understood any of the puzzles back then - everything was random or pot luck to me, certainly made things so tense! When they got to that trap-door I was wondering how the hell they could figure it out...anyone sussed how it would've worked since then?

In my mind, definately on of the best seris in terms of dificult and graphics. Though Lord Fear seem to be invincible in this season.
There are still a few gripes.
Never ever agreed with short cut. I feel the winning team should have said to TC that they would rather do it properly, after all there had already been 2 seasons with no winners.
Also team 2 of this season did seem to be a bit victimised just becasue they got so into the adventure.

I remember seeing in Series 8, Team 1 being killed by a Red Dragon. Is it just me, or did this Red Dragon appear more than once?
If he did, then does anyone know where I can find some screenshots of him? I might design some kind of website devoted to him.
Also, treat this as the "Red Dragon discussion thread" if you know what I mean. ^_^
-
I think that this could be Bal-Sheba, later called 'Firestorm of Marblehead'. However I could be wrong as at this stage Bal-Sheba hadn't been formerly introduced.
-
Yes, alright I've learnt my lesson from the "Greetings" thread.
I think the Red Dragon was the best "end of series" plotline, even if the team did look a bit miffed. But I thought it was in Series 6, not 8! You can get screenshots from the main site under the "Series" link.
PS. Just read Brollachan's reply, I may be thinking of another dragon.
-
You're both right too an extent...
Series 6 involved a red dragon that was brought into the dungeon for the end of season plot. This one ended up crash landing onto Mount Fear.
Series 8 was the series which involved a red dragon on a relatively regular basis and had a name for the red dragon. Though the series 8 red dragon is not the same one from series 6.
-
It made more than one appearance? That's good then
Anyways, the one I mean is the one where Motley guides the team to the puzzle to (or in?) Level 3. Then, he tells the team that he doesn't want to be someone's dinner, and he runs off. Then, the Red Dragon comes, makes a 15 second speech and roasts the dungeoneer.
Just looked at the Series link, and found that it was indeed Series 8, Team 1, Level 1. I thought it was Level 2 or 3... V.v
Shortly after in this screen they are killed by the Red Dragon.
-
Was that the "The only question is:Cooked or raw" speech?
-
Yep it was Bexs
And just to clarifiey further.
The Red Dragon from Series 6 was Called RED DEATH and as Broll already said only apperd in the final episoed of that series but was talked about before hand.
The Dragon in question however in Series 8was The Mighty BHAL-SHEBA. The Dragon who sufferd from Mulitple Personality Dissorder and was in fact
BHAL and SHEBA in one body. Lord Fear later combinded both personalitys and renamed him FIRESTORM OF MARBLEHEAD.
He was last seen being sent off to attack Linghorn and since Maldame was for wanred by a dungeoneer and Friestorm never reaped after that it would be a safe bet to guess he may have met the same fate as Red Death and died in the attempt.

I think the reason they didn't pick the knife was because the general rule throughout the whole of the concept was
'put not your trust in weapons' (Igneous, 1988)
And I can hardly recall anyone taking either poison or weapons (except green arrow or magic).
Either way, I think the floor puzzle was unfair. And that was Level 1!!!! (A bit quick level too!)
-
ooooh nasty-
I also noticed that really bad sound edit- I bet that decision took em ages didn't it??
erm- pigeon shite- I'll think about taking the blade- sounds pretty good.
Anyway, mot-face could have stayed in statue form as he woossed out anyway.
but they could have taken them both!!!
-
yes but in the knightmare adventurers code it says.....beware the weapons of your enemies.unless there are other indications,it can be assumed that all fall into this category.
this was not a weapon of an enemy which the scroll did give hints at! therefore DUMB-ASSES lol
-

quite a few did in the earlier series. like when the guys took a dagger instead of a horn. and the series 5 team who took poison. and series 1 team with poison too.! gift for lillith! hmm she was not impressed. But in the later series people learnt from others. There was a time round about series 4and 5 when it didnt really matter what object you picked cos even the "wrong" ones served a use somehow. Kinda spoilt it a bit! good to see them bring back the idea of "if you pick the wrong clue item,you lose". makes it harder! xx

No team ever offered Lillith poison. The nearest I can remember to that is a team in season 2 mistaking a bottle of potion, which was meant as a gift for Lillith, for a bottle of poison and rejecting it. There was also a season 5 team who offered a bottle of poison to Gwendoline, but that was long after Lillith had left.

Thats what i meant, i have every episode on tape, so i know what im talking about but i was a bit tired when i posted this thread! Plus when i recorded this particular episode the tape chewed up and so i missed about 5/10 minutes of this one!
