Knightmare Pointless III
-
Amy says Sir Hugh de Wittless - let's see what that scores her...

Sir Hugh kindly agreed to escort Series 5's Sarah, but only because it was "a bit like rescuing". Amy - like Ben, you score 3 points.

So, Annie, can you wow us by finishing off this pass with a score lower than 3? It's over to you...

Annie says Brother Mace - let's see what that scores her...

2 points for you there, Annie, and the lowest score of the round so far - well done! Mace's little jaunt onto Smirkenorff's back with Chris does indeed have the potential to throw a spanner in the works for this question, but fortunately Mace also escorted Series 4's Nicky through a portal in the Forest of Dunn, so he definitely counts! Now, let's take a look at the scoreboard at the end of the first pass.

So, we now come back down the line for the second pass. Annie, it's your turn again, and you are our low scorer. Our current high scorer is Nick on 6, so if you score 3 or less, you're definitely through to Round 2. What is your second answer?
-
Annie says Ridolfo - let's see what that scores her...

Nice one, Annie! That's your second pointless answer in as many games, so give yourself a well deserved pat on the back. Ridolfo escorted January for a brief period after she released him from a pillory, but none of our 8 people remembered that. Annie scores no points, keeping her total at 2 and seeing her safely through to the next round.

Amy, it's you again. Our current high scorer is still Nick on 6. If you score 2 or less, you're definitely through to Round 2. What is your second answer?

Ooh god this is nerve-wracking. Err...Fatilla?
-
Amy says Fatilla - let's see what that scores her...

Well done, Amy - Fatilla scores you 2 points, bringing your total to 5 and seeing you safely through to the next round. Fatilla escorted Simon to Oakley's glade after Pickle had convinced him (Fatilla) that he (Simon) was a military forager.

Ben is next to answer. Our current high scorer is still Nick on 6. If you score 2 or less, Ben, you're definitely through to Round 2. What is your second answer?
-
Ben has told me via PM that his second answer is Sylvester Hands - let's see what that scores him...

Sadly for Ben, Hands never actually went through a door or portal with a dungeoneer, despite all his attempts to "make friends" with them. So, Ben, you score the maximum of 8 points... but this round is by no means over yet!

Nick, it's all down to you. You are on 6 points. If you score 4 or less, you're through to Round 2 with Annie and Amy. If you score 5, you will be in a tiebreak situation with Ben. If you score 6 or more, Ben will be through to Round 2 with Annie and Amy. What is your second answer?

Nick says Casper - let's see what that scores him...

It's happened - Nick and Ben are tied on 11 points!

So, another answer is required from Nick and from Ben. Nick, you're up again. Please nominate another escorting character.
-
No mean either
-
Ben has until 9am tomorrow to post his third answer, or Nick will go straight through to the second round. Just to remind everyone, here are the correct answers we have had so far:
BROTHER MACE - 2
CASPER - 5
FATILLA - 2
FOLLY - 3
GUNDRADA - 6
PIXEL - 3
RIDOLFO - 0
SIR HUGH - 3
There are still 10 correct answers on this list! Just to make things interesting, I'll tell you that 3 of them would win it for Ben, 5 of them would win it for Nick, and 2 of them would tie with Pixel - I hope that doesn't happen!
-
Ben says Velda - let's see what that scores him...
pointlesswrong.jpg
This may be a slightly controversial one, but Velda never actually went through a door or portal with a dungeoneer. The closest she came was telling James to follow her through one, but our independent judge (a well respected authority on Knightmare named Jake Collins) decided before the questions went out that this would not count as an escort, as it was really more of a follow.
The boys have battled it out to join the girls in Round 2, and Nick has emerged victorious. Bad luck, Ben - thanks very much for playing. Perhaps we'll see you again in a future game of Knightmare Pointless, but it's ciao for now.
So, at last, we can take a look at the whole board for that question:
CEDRIC - 7
MOTLEY - 7
GUNDRADA - 6
HORDRISS - 6
CASPER - 5
MELLISANDRE - 5
SIDRISS - 5
FOLLY - 3
GWENDOLINE - 3
MCGREW - 3
PIXEL - 3
SIR HUGH - 3
BROTHER MACE - 2
FATILLA - 2
ROMAHNA - 2
ELITA - 1
FIDJIT - 0
RIDOLFO - 0
There you have it, then. For Nick, Amy and Annie, it's now time for Round 2. Only two of them can make it through to the head-to-head, but who'll be next to fall by the wayside? We'll know before too long!
**ROUND 2
SPELL GIVERS**
You're about to see a board of six spells. We asked 8 people to tell us which character awarded each one to a dungeoneer. Players, you must each choose a spell and name the character that bestowed it on a dungeoneer. We have got:
kmpointlessshow3round2-1.jpg
You can rest assured that each of these spells was only ever given out by one specific character, so there is no room for ambiguity here. Excitingly, there is one pointless answer available on this board, if only someone can be clever or lucky enough to winkle it out!
Nick, you are first to play. Please nominate your spell and name the character that gave it to a dungeoneer.
-
A tricky board indeed, and I can't claim to know all the answers. With the presence of a pointless answer, I cannot decide whether to be conservative or take a pop at a pointless. Having said that, I have somehow made it to this round, so perhaps I should stick with what I know and say that CHANGE was awarded by Julius Scaramonger.
