Series 8 - Episode 1
-
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!

Green for a Girl, Black for a Boy!
Surely logic would mean take both!
Howvever, it's one thing to watch, and another to do.
Who knows, maybe they read went through the Knightmare Rules in the quest section of the books, and didn't take the blade because one of the rules states agression breeds agression!
-
Treguard says:
Use the weapons and magic of your enemies with care
And as for Agression breeds Agression - that means if the dungeoneer were to shove the knife into Motley's head rather than hold it till handing it over

Well, as this episode suggests I'm from the land of dunces. That is, Bracknell. Or as I like to somewhat appropriately call it, Chavnell. Kinda unsurprising how a team from here wound up as the first Level 1 death in a long time...
(Though that said, my brother and some friends had put together a team and IIRC applied for Season 9... had they got on, I'd have been surprised if they'd done a repeat performance...)
I've got to agree on the poster who disliked the opening sequence's (i.e. first scene w/ Treguard & Majida) lack of attention to "the watchers"; kinda detached the program from the viewers, which was something I'd enjoyed (I'm reminded of a scene where Pickle and Treguard talk about using the Spyglass, and mention "don't you ever feel like we're being watched?" before turning to the camera). Same with the banter at the end of each episode.
-
yeah- that sort of thing really got you involved- especially when you were younger!
Treguards 'face' at the end of the episodes used to scare me a little.
Also, during the creation of my game, trying to find a few half-decent screen shots of treguards face without looking stoned or something was a challenge!!
-
nice looking advisors .
2 thoughts form me on this.
1 - I initially thought they were dumb to not take the dagger, but it is possible in a guide they had beforehand it advises against weapons which would indeed make you think twice.
2 - What was motleys use since when dungeoneers are accompanied they dont go through levels with them so even if the woman had cracked the code for them motley would have made no difference, so after this consideration I think the death was harsh considering level1, instead they should have beem made to go through extra rooms as punishment and given a chance.

(It's not entirely clear what you mean by 'when dungeoneers are accompanied they dont go through levels with them' , though I'm guessing that your point is about characters never travelling with dungeoneers from one level to the next.)
This reminds me of Quest 4 of Series 6. If I recall correctly, Miniature Motley tells January that if she can get Sidriss to restore him to normal size, he'll give her the password. Then Sidriss offers either to restore Motley or give January the password!
In the case of Quest 1 of Series 8, I'd imagine that the reintroduction of Motley was considered more important than making him useful quest-wise. In a similar way, Level 1 of Quest 1 of Series 5 was more about introducing Series 5's new elements than providing an adequately challenging quest (there was no clue room, for example).
I wonder if Team 1 knows that the BBC showed a clip of their quest earlier this year...
