Greg says Sylvester Hands. Let's see what that scores him...

It's another big score, Greg - you're just going to have to hope and pray that Ben answers incorrectly! Sylvester Hands is one of only two characters to appear in spyglass sequences in all four series featuring spyglasses - 5, 6, 7 and 8. Greg, you score 7 points, bringing your total to 14.

Ben, it's your turn again. Our current high scorer is Greg on 14. If you score 7 or less, you're definitely through to the next round. Please post your second answer.

Ben says Hordriss. Let's see what that scores him...

Hordriss appeared in three spyglass sequences - one in Series 6, one in Series 7 and one in Series 8. Congratulations, Ben - you score 6 points, bringing your total to 12, and taking you safely through to the next round. Bad news for Greg, though - that means he's definitely going to be the first player to leave us!

Ross, we come back to you. It doesn't matter what answer you give because you're through to the next round anyway, so why don't you try and wow us with the most obscure answer you can think of?
-
That's a relief! My answer is Bhal-Shebah.

Ross says Bhal-Shebah. Let's see what that scores him...

Bhal-Shebah appeared in two Series 8 spyglass sequences - one silently, the other very vocally. Ross scores 5 points, bringing his total to 10.
This has been quite a high-scoring round. Gez gave us the best answer with Sidriss, but there were several other low scorers out there. Let's take a look at the whole board:
Lissard - 7
Lord Fear - 7
Skarkill - 7
Sylvester Hands - 7
Greystagg - 6
Hordriss - 6
Julius Scaramonger - 6
Maldame - 6
Bhal-Shebah - 5
Heggatty - 5
Honesty Bartram - 5
Aesandre - 4
Brollachan - 4
Captain Nemanor - 3
Grimaldine - 3
Marta - 3
Raptor - 3
Sidriss/Bimboid - 3
Dreadnort - 1
So, at the end of Round 1, the scoreboard looks like this:
ROSS
Answer 1 - 5
Answer 2 - 5
TOTAL - 10
BEN
Answer 1 - 6
Answer 2 - 6
TOTAL - 12
GREG
Answer 1 - 7
Answer 2 - 7
TOTAL - 14
GEZ
Answer 1 - 8
Answer 2 - 3
TOTAL - 11
And so we say goodbye to Greg - bad luck and thanks for playing! Ross, Ben and Gez move on to Round 2, which will follow shortly. Which of the three of them will earn the chance to play for a fantastic Knightmare badge in our jackpot final?

ROUND 2 - FIRST PASS
DUNGEONEER DEATHS
You’re about to see a board of seven dungeoneers. We asked 8 people to tell us how each of them died in the Knightmare Dungeon. Players, you must each choose a dungeoneer and identify the creature, person or thing that killed them. We have got:

Which deaths have stuck in the minds of our eight people? We'll soon find out. Ross, you're up. Nominate a dungeoneer and name the cause of death.
-
I think I know them all but have no idea which will be the lowest scoring. I'll go for Nicky - Ariadne.
-
Ross says Nicky - Ariadne. Let's see what that scores him...

For the want of an answer a spell was lost, for the want of a spell the game was lost. For the third time in this game, Ross, you score 5 points!

Ben, there are six answers left on the board for you:

Ben says Danny - Bomb. Let's see what that scores him...

After a wrong turn that Treguard was extremely scornful of, Danny was indeed blown up by a bomb. Ben, you score a respectibly low 4 points.

I'm afraid I would not accept "lock in" as an answer, as the question specifically asks for the "creature, person or thing" that kills them, i.e. in the physical sense - I hope that wasn't unclear from the start!
It's just me being my annoying self. Kind of like a certain person from TFOR.

Gez says Kelly - Mr Grimwold. Let's see what that scores her...

Kelly needed a wax crayon to create a wellway at the end of level one, but with only a useless bit of bullion in hand, she was at Mr Grimwold's mercy. Gez, you score 6 points.
Let's take a look at the whole board:

As any idiot can see, this round is still wide open. The second pass is coming shortly. Once again, we'll come back down the line, and whichever player has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated!
