Knightmare Pointless II

Amy says GLORY - let's see what that scores her...

GLORY was gifted to Leo (Team 4 of Series 3) by Mogdred, which means that casting it would probably not have been the best idea! Amy scores 2 points.

Ben says FLIGHT - let's see what that scores him...

FLIGHT was earned from Merlin by Chris's team in the closing moments of Series 3. Ben scores 2 points.

We're now going to come back down the line for the second pass. Remember, players, whoever has the highest score at the end of the round will be the first to leave us. Ben, it's time for your second answer. As you are the joint high scorer (with Amy) you will not be able to ensure your place in the second round no matter what you score - you will just have to be as obscure as possible and hope for the best!

Ben says POWER - let's see what that scores him...

It's another Mogdred spell, this time gifted to Stuart's team from Series 2. Again, the team wisely chose not to use Mogdred's magic, even when they had no other option. Ben scores 3 points, bringing his total to 5. Will this be enough to make it through to the second round? Only time will tell!

Amy, it's time for your second answer. Our current high scorer is Ben on 5. If you score 2 or less, you are definitely through to the next round.

Aww I wanted to say power, oh well. Umm... ah! HERO!
-
Amy says HERO - let's see what that scores her...
pointless1.jpg
Congratulations, Amy - HERO scores you 1 point and brings your total to 3, seeing you safely through to the next round. This spell was awarded to Alistair (Team 2 of Series 4) by Malice and would apparently have summoned someone "long dead" to aid him in the deepest depths of the third level - intriguing!

breathes out
Thank goodness

Annie says SHIELD - let's see what that scores her...
pointless1.jpg
Congratulations, Annie - SHIELD scores you 1 point and brings your total to 1, seeing you safely through to the next round. This time, however, I can't tell you that you're exactly right - it was Series 1, not Series 2... but other than that, spot on! Merlin awarded SHIELD to Richard's team (the last of the series) but they never got an opportunity to use it... or not one that we were allowed to see, anyway!

Now it's time for Rosey's second answer. If she scores 3 or less, she will be through to the next round with Annie and Amy. If she scores 4, she will be in a tiebreak situation with Ben. If she scores 5 or more, Ben will go through to the next round.
-
Wow, you're good at this Annie!
-
Rosey says BACKFIRE - let's see what that scores her...
pointless2p.jpg
Congratulations, Rosey - BACKFIRE scores you 2 points and brings your total to 3, seeing you safely through to the next round with Annie and Amy. BACKFIRE was acquired from a scroll by Ben's winning team from Series 6, but they abandoned it on the advice of Greystagg. BACKFIRE is therefore possibly the most pointless spell ever to feature on Knightmare!
Let's take a look at the whole board:
BUT - 6
TRANSFORMATION - 5
POWER - 3
ANVIL - 2
BACKFIRE - 2
FLARE - 2
FLIGHT - 2
GLORY - 2
UNITAS - 2
ENERGY - 1
FREEZER - 1
GHOST - 1
HERO - 1
OPPOSITE - 1
SAVANT - 1
SHIELD - 1
SHOVEL - 1
TREAT - 1
RETURN - 0
TINY - 0
So, at the end of Round 1, the scoreboard looks like this:
ROSEY
Answer 1 - 1
Answer 2 - 2
TOTAL - 3
ANNIE
Answer 1 - 0
Answer 2 - 1
TOTAL - 1
AMY
Answer 1 - 2
Answer 2 - 1

BEN
Answer 1 - 2
Answer 2 - 3
TOTAL - 5
And so we say goodbye to Ben - bad luck and thanks for playing! Rosey, Annie and Amy move on to Round 2, which will follow shortly.

TINY was a pointless answer?! I was trying to avoid that one lolz Anyways, at least round one is finished. (sorry pooka it's kind of my fault you're out my bad )

**ROUND 2
FATALLY REJECTED CLUE OBJECTS**
You're about to see a board of six clue objects. We asked 8 people to tell us which dungeoneer died as a result of rejecting each one. Players, you must each choose an object and name the dungeoneer whose quest eventually ended as a result of not taking it. We have got:
knightmarepointlessshow2round2-1.jpg
NB: Please give your answers in the following form - Dungeoneer's First Name (Series X), e.g. Robert (Series 9)
Rosey is up first, and her answer will follow soon.

Rosey says Gold - Richard (Series 5). Let's see what that scores her...
pointless4.jpg
Ariadne rather rushed Richard's team into a decision by chasing them out of her lair and they chose the wrong thing - the horn instead of the gold! Gwendoline had given them an obscure clue about bribing their way through to the Gate Tower, but I've never judged them too harshly for failing to take it into account in the heat of the moment. Rosey scores 4 points.
ROSEY
Answer 1 - 4

Annie, there are five answers left on the board for you. Please nominate your fatally rejected clue object and corresponding dead dungeoneer.
-
Annie says Divining Rod - Stuart (Series 2). Let's see what that scores her...
pointless4.jpg
Foolishly, Stuart's team opted to take a dagger (or "knoife", as they prefered to call it) instead of a divining rod in the level 2 clue room, and they soon paid the price. Annie, you also score 4 points.

Amy, there are four answers left on the board for you. Please nominate your fatally rejected clue object and corresponding dead dungeoneer.

I choose the horn: Richard (Series 1)
