Knightmare Pointless II

**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:

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...

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.

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...

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.

I choose the horn: Richard (Series 1)

Amy says Horn - Richard (Series 1). Let's see what that scores her...

Without the horn to bring down the Wall of Jericho, Richard came to a dead end at the very end of Series 1, and the production team had to wait a whole year to show off their fabulous brick-removing special effects! Amy, you ALSO also score 4 points!

Let's take a look at the whole board:
knightmarepointlessshow2round2-2.jpg
Yes, there are far too many 4s on there! Maeve was the killer answer, while Richard from Series 8 (the only Richard not chosen by our contestants!) would have given someone a clear lead.
We're now going to come back down the line and try to find out which two contestants will make it through to the head-to-head - let's just hope there'll be something between the three of them at the end of the round, unlike now!
Here is the board for the second pass:

Amy, you have the pick of the board. Please nominate your second fatally rejected clue object and corresponding dead dungeoneer.

I choose Fireball Brandy: Rebecca (Series

Amy says Fireball Brandy - Rebecca (Series 8 ). Let's see what that scores her...

That scores Amy only 2 points, bringing her total to 6. Rebecca's was the last ever Knightmare death; miremen were the cause.

Aww I was expecting that to be a pointless answer lol
-
Annie says Wax Crayon - Kelly (Series 3). Let's see what that scores her...
pointless4.jpg
Yes, it's another 4, bringing Annie's total to 8. Without the wax crayon to create/draw/reveal a wellway to the second level, Kelly was left to the mercy of Mr Grimwold - and he didn't have any!

Rosey, you have four answers left to choose from. Please nominate your second fatally rejected clue object and corresponding dead dungeoneer. If you score 3 or less, you will be joining Amy in the head-to-head. If you score 4 (God help us!) then you'll be in a tiebreak situation with Annie. If you score 5 or more, Annie will be in the head-to-head with Amy.

I'm in the head-to-head?! YIPEEEEE!
-
Rosey says Nightsight - Nicola (Series 7). Let's see what that scores her...
pointless2p.jpg
This brings Rosey's total to 6. Nicola's death was rather messy and very bad for the paperwork, but the Nightsight (or lack of it!) was the crucial factor. Now, let's take a look at the whole board:

Bad luck, Annie - you're the one who's leaving us. Thanks for playing, and you'll always have that pointless answer to feel proud of! For Rosey and Amy, the head-to-head looms, and will soon follow...

ROUND 3 - HEAD-TO-HEAD
Rosey and Amy - whichever one of you wins the best of three questions will be our Knightmare Pointless champion. Remember, I can only accept your first answer, so think carefully before you post.
We gave 8 people 100 seconds to name...
CHARACTERS WHO CAN BE SEEN THROUGH LORD FEAR'S POOL OF VERACITY IN SERIES 6/7
So that's any character whose image appeared in Lord Fear's pool at some point during Series 6 and/or 7. As our two remaining players have scored the same number of points during the show so far, I'm doing this as a first-come, first-served question - i.e. whichever one of you sees this post first can give your answer straightaway!
-
Sorry I'm late posting. I choose Raptor.
-
Rosey says Treguard. Let's see what that scores her...
pointless2p.jpg
Treguard appeared in Lord Fear's pool at the very end of the first episode of Series 6, to give his arch-enemy the following message: "Until time turns again, you may not harass them."
Amy says Raptor. Let's see what that scores her...
pointless3.jpg
Raptor's only Pool of Veracity appearance was during the first episode of Series 7.
Two excellent answers there - Rosey just pips it and therefore leads the head-to-head 1-0, but there was only one answer that scored less than either of those. Let's take a look at the whole board:
LISSARD - 5
SYLVESTER HANDS - 5
GREYSTAGG - 4
JULIUS SCARAMONGER - 4
SKARKILL - 4
CAPTAIN NEMANOR - 3
HORDRISS - 3
RAPTOR - 3
TREGUARD - 2
GRIMALDINE - 1
Grimaldine was the answer you wanted, Amy, but you get to go first on the next question, so let's see what you can do. We gave 8 people 100 seconds to name...
MERLIN'S CAST SPELLS
So that's any named piece of Merlin's magic that was spellcast on-screen, either by a team or by Merlin himself... or both! Amy, it's over to you.
