Knightmare Pointless III
-
Nick says CHANGE - Julius Scaramonger. Let's see what that scores him...

As most people know, Julius Scaramonger sold the spell CHANGE to Series 5's Chris and it turned him into a goblin! Nick, you score 5 points.

Amy, it's over to you. Which one are you going for?

Okay then lets see. I know! SHADE was given by Honesty Bartrum.

Amy says SHADE - Honesty Bartram. Let's see what that scores her...

Well done, Amy - you've found the pointless answer, which scores you no points! None of our 8 people remembered that SHADE was given to Series 8's Daniel by Honesty Bartram in exchange for a SIGHT potion, although it's still somewhat unclear just who got the better of that deal!

Annie, we come to you. Which one are you going for?

...didn't see that coming

Annie says LOOK - Grimaldine. Let's see what that scores her...

Quite right in every detail once again, Annie, and 2 points are earned as a result. So, at the end of the first pass, the scoreboard looks like this:

Now, let's take a look at the whole board:

And so we move on to the second pass. Remember, whoever has the highest score after this will be eliminated. Here are the next six spells:
kmpointlessshow3round2-3.jpg
Again, each of these spells was only ever given out by one specific character, so there is no room for ambiguity. There is another pointless answer available here, if only someone can be clever or lucky enough to winkle it out!
Annie, you're up again. Please nominate your spell and name the character that gave it to a dungeoneer. Our current high scorer is Nick on 5. If you score 2 or less, you are definitely through to the head-to-head.

Annie says TRANSFORM - Velda. Let's see what that scores her...

TRANSFORM was the only spell that Velda ever gave out. Kelly was the lucky recipient, and it turned her into an armoured knight. Congratulations, Annie - that scores you 1 point, and sees you safely through to the head-to-head.

Amy, we come to you. Please nominate your spell and name the character that gave it to a dungeoneer. Our current high scorer is still Nick on 5. If you score 4 or less, you will be through to the head-to-head with Annie, and Nick will be out.

Hmm...I believe that WEB was given by Folly.

Amy says WEB - Folly. Let's see what that scores her...

WEB was indeed given by Folly, to Series 2's Chris for the purpose of trapping Cedric. Well done, Amy - that scores you 3 points, seeing you through to the head-to-head with Annie.

So, Nick, I'm sorry to say that you're out of the game. Thanks very much for playing, and hopefully you can join me for another game of Knightmare Pointless in the near future.
Here is the full board for the second pass:
kmpointlessshow3round2-4.jpg
Fidjit was the pointless answer there - that's the second time he's been pointless in this particular game, and none of our players have chosen him. Poor old Fidjit - what a nonentity!
Anyway, for Amy and Annie, it's now time for the head-to-head. Whoever wins this thrilling face-off will become our Knightmare Pointless champion, and earn the chance to find a pointless answer in our jackpot final. Unfortunately, I don't have any more Knightmare badges, so the prize will be an original copy of the first ever issue of The Eye Shield fanzine (from Decemeber 1995) signed by longtime TES contributor and editor Jake Collins. But you're not really playing for that, are you? You're playing for the glory! (And the fun, of course...)
ROUND 3 - HEAD-TO-HEAD
Amy and Annie - 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...
DUNGEONEERS WHO DIED ON LEVEL 3
So that's any dungeoneer whose quest came to an end on Level 3, EXCEPT undefeated teams who were on Level 3 at the end of a series. Annie, you have scored slightly less than Amy during the show so far, so you get to go first. Amy, you can post your answer as soon as Annie has posted hers - don't wait for me to say anything. NB: Please give your answers in the form of Dungeoneer's First Name (Series X), e.g. Mohammed (Series 10)
-
Lets try Ross (Series 3).
-
Mace also escorted Series 4's Nicky through a portal in the Forest of Dunn
Notable for the pleasing double whoosh as the two of them enter the portal.
-
Annie says Alan (Series 6) - let's see what that scores her...
pointless2p.jpg
Amy says Ross (Series 3) - let's see what that scores her...
pointless5.jpg
So, Annie wins the first question and takes a 1-0 lead. Let's see all the correct answers for that one:
RICHARD (1) - 5
ROSS (3) - 5
CHRIS (2) - 4
DANIEL (8) - 4
LEO (3) - 4
MARTIN (3) - 4
SOPHIA (6) - 4
ALEX (7) - 3
ALISTAIR (4) - 3
HELEN (4) - 3
NATHAN (8) - 3
SIMON (7) - 3
ALAN (6) - 2
SARAH (5) - 2
So the best you could have done, Amy, would have been to choose Sarah and tie the question - sometimes this game can be very tough! Now, let's move on to the second question. We gave 8 people 100 seconds to name...
CHARACTERS WHO INTERACTED WITH TREGUARD
To clarify, we're looking for any character who had at least one on-screen conversation with Treguard, or addressed him directly without him answering, or reacted vocally to something he said. Amy, you get to go first this time, and you need to win this question to draw level. Annie, please post your answer as soon as you see that Amy has posted hers.
-
What do mean by addressing him directly? Do you mean that they say his name in a conversation or something?
-
Okay, I'll choose Smirkenorff then.
