Knightmare Pointless II
-
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
Answer 1 - 4
Answer 2 - ?
TOTAL - ?
ANNIE
Answer 1 - 4
Answer 2 - 4
TOTAL - 8
AMY
Answer 1 - 4
Answer 2 - 2
TOTAL - 6
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:

This is how the scoreboard looks at the end of Round 2:
ROSEY
Answer 1 - 4
Answer 2 - 2
TOTAL - 6
ANNIE
Answer 1 - 4
Answer 2 - 4
TOTAL - 8
AMY
Answer 1 - 4
Answer 2 - 2
TOTAL - 6
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.
-
I choose ERG
-
Rosey's answer is FREEZE.
So, Amy says ERG. Let's see what that scores her...
pointless4.jpg
Merlin cast this spell in the penultimate episode of Series 3 to restore Martin's life force.
Rosey says FREEZE, with the additional information "Helen and Ariadne". Let's see what that scores her...
pointlesswrong.jpg
Sorry, Rosey, but it was Brother Mace who awarded that spell - not Merlin! So, the head-to-head is all square at 1-1 - how exciting! Let's take a look at the whole board for that question:
VIM - 7
ENERGY - 6
ERG - 4
DARK - 3
LANTERN - 3
FREEZER - 2
GRIP - 2
SWORD - 2
CURE - 1
DANCE - 1
HOME - 1
RUN - 1
SLEEP - 1
TWIST - 1
UNITE - 0
So, on to the decider. We gave 8 people 100 seconds to name...
CHARACTERS WHO'VE SAID BOTH "TRUTH ACCEPTED" AND "FALSEHOOD"
For a change, I don't really have anything to add to that! We're looking for any character who has been heard to say both "Truth accepted" and "Falsehood" when questioning dungeoneers. Rosey, it's over to you.
-
takes a deep breath Oakley.
-
Rosey says Doorkis. Let's see what that scores her...
pointless3.jpg
Amy says Oakley. Let's see what that scores her...
pointless3.jpg
It's a tie! Let's take a look at the whole board:
IGNEOUS - 7
GRANITAS - 6
MERLIN - 6
OLGARTH - 6
BRANGWEN - 5
CEDRIC - 5
GOLGARACH - 5
BUMPTIOUS/DWARF - 4
DOORIS - 3
DOORKIS - 3
OAKLEY - 3
So, the score still stands at 1-1 - I wonder if someone will win the head-to-head with the next question! We gave 8 people 100 seconds to name...
SUCCESSFULLY DISPELLED SPELLS
So that's any spell that was successfully dismissed on-screen with the chant "Dispel", either by a team member or a character. Amy, it's your turn to go first, so what is your answer?
-
Phew! That was tense. I choose ANVIL.
-
Rosey has decided to go for PIXEL.
Amy says ANVIL. Let's see what that scores her...
pointless3.jpg
This was spellcast and dispelled by Danny's team in the fifth episode of Series 1.
Rosey says PIXEL. Let's see what that scores her...
pointless2p.jpg
This was spellcast and dispelled by Sarah's team in the sixth episode of Series 5.
Another incredibly close one, but Rosey pips it again and takes the head-to-head 2-1! Let's see all the correct answers for that one:
SWORD - 6
LANTERN - 4
SHROUD - 4
ANVIL - 3
BIG - 2
GHOST - 2
PIXEL - 2
SAMURAI - 2
TOAD - 2
GROWME - 1
MOUSE - 1
FALGO - 0
TRICK - 0
So, Amy is our runner-up, while Rosey becomes the second Knightmare Pointless champion! Thanks for playing, Amy, and I hope you feel justly proud of yourself. For Rosey, the jackpot final is coming soon. In the meantime (for the benefit of my curious answerers and other Knightmare Pointless enthusiasts who may be interested) let's take a look at the one remaining "spare" question for this game. We gave 8 people 100 seconds to name...
SERIES 1 CHARACTERS WHOSE APPEARANCES IN THAT SERIES ARE CONFINED TO ONE PARTICULAR ROOM
A decision had to be made about whether or not Treguard would count, as there is a convincing argument for him being right (he's always in the antechamber) and for him being wrong (he often projects himself into other rooms) so as the quizmaster I made the decision, and stipulated that Treguard would not count. Bearing that in mind, let's see the answers:
CEDRIC - 6
LILLITH - 6
MERLIN - 5
GIBBET - 4
GRANITAS - 4
OLGARTH - 4
GIANT - 3
Rosey's moment in the spotlight - the jackpot final - will follow soon...
-
Aww! I thought ANVIL would do! Oh well, congrats Rosie
-
ROUND 4 - JACKPOT FINAL
Rosey, you are the new Knightmare Pointless champion, and you now have three chances to win the Knightmare Pointless jackpot. All you have to do is find a pointless answer to our final question. We gave 8 people 100 seconds to name...
USED AND ACCEPTED PASSWORDS
So that's any password ventured by a dunegoneer and accepted as correct by any password guard - be it human, blocker or Dreadnort! (NB: This does not include the word keys to Linghorm and Marblehead, as these were given to Maldame as information, not ventured as passwords by the dungeoneer.)
Rosey's three answers will follow soon. If one of them is pointless, she will follow in Ross's footsteps and win the jackpot!
