Knightmare Pointless IV
-
The game is on, but there are a couple of little changes to mention:
-
The maximum score for this game is 6 rather than 8.
-
Round 2 will take the same format as Round 1 this time, instead of featuring boards. I had a matching-up type question to do for Round 2, but there is absolutely no variation in the scores and our technical team (that's me) has judged the question to be unplayable.
Also, as always, please bear these two little rules in mind at all times:
-
For the purposes of this, "character" means any role that's been confirmed as having been played by a credited Knightmare actor, except uncredited, unnamed individual creatures/monsters.
-
The unbroadcast pilot episodes (from 1986/7) and Knightmare VR (from 2004) are not taken into account for any question.
Right, let's play Knightmare Pointless!
ROUND 1
In the first round, each of you will give me two answers. Whoever has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated. If you give a wrong answer, you will score the maximum of 6 points.
We gave 6 people 100 seconds to name...
DUNGEONEERS WHO MET LILLITH
Unusually, I don't really have anything to add to that - we're just looking for the first name of any dunegoneer (from Series 1 or 2, obviously!) who entered Lillith's domain during their wanderings.
Amy is first to answer.
-
-
Ooh good it's started. Am I allowed to ask if there's a pointless answer for this?
-
Oh right. Well...I'll go with Maeve then.
-
Amy says Maeve - let's see what that scores her...

Four of our six people remembered Maeve's fatal visit to Lillith's lair in the second episode of Series 1, so Amy scores 4 points.

Nick, it's over to you. Please post your first answer.

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

An excellent answer, Ben - as anyone who has read this thread comprehensively knows, that is the lowest score possible for this question, so you could not have asked for a better start. Claire was Lillith's first visitor in Series 2, and the only dungeoneer in that series for whom she did the old "Rock to rock and stone to stone..." chant.

Hmm, another 4-pointer there - interesting. Simon's scene with Lillith in the third episode of Series 1 is probably the lengthiest Lillith scene ever, as it contains a lot of chat from Lillith herself as well as Treguard's first explanation of Spellcasting!

I'll now attempt to get Greg to PM me his answers over on the Raven forum.

Just signed up properly.
I would like to guess at Akash
-
I've signed up.
I will guess at Akash
-
Greg's first answer is Akash - let's see what that scores him...
pointless6.jpg
That's a maximum score, I'm afraid - every single one of our six people remembered Akash's fatal encounter with a hungover Lillith midway through Series 2, and what a memorable scene (from a memomorable quest) it is!

The very first dunegoneer met Lillith in the very first episode, as four of our six people remembered. Greg scores 4, taking his total up to 10.

And so we come back to Nick. Our current high scorer is Greg on 10. If Nick scores 5 or less, he will go straight through to Round 2.

The ol' Buddha-for-ITCH transaction scores Nick 3 points, bringing his total to 7 and seeing him safely through to Round 2.

Ben, we come to you. It doesn't matter what you score because you're through to Round 2 whatever happens, but the lower you score now, the more chance you have of going first in the head-to-head, if you make it that far.

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

This Series 2 scene is the only time we see Lillith up and about, stretching her legs. Ben scores 2 points, taking his total to an impressively low 3.

Amy, I hope you haven't gone to bed yet because we're coming to you to finish the round. If you score 5 or less, you are through to Round 2 with Nick and Ben. If you score 6, you will be in a tiebreak situation with Greg.
(Of course if you have gone to bed, you can answer tomorrow!)
-
Oops sorry I tried so hard to stay awake but eventually had to go to bed. I'll go for Helen.
-
Amy says Helen - let's see what that scores her...

Excellent work there, Amy - Series 1's Helen (who cheered up a convelescent Lillith with some flowers and got a WELL spell in return) scores you only 1 point, increasing your total to 5 and seeing you through to Round 2.

And so we say goodbye to Greg. Thanks for playing again, Greg, and I hope you enjoyed it. Now, let's see all the answers for this question:

DAVID - 4
MAEVE - 4
SIMON - 4

HELEN - 1
There you have it, then. Congratulations to Amy, Ben and Nick, who all move on to the second round.
ROUND 2
Remember, whoever has the highest score at the end of this round will be leaving us; the other two will battle it out in the head-to-head to become our fourth Knightmare Pointless champion! We gave 6 people 100 seconds to name...
CREDITED KNIGHTMARE ACTORS WHO APPEARED IN ONE SERIES ONLY
Again, I don't think that needs too much explanation - we're looking for any actor (or actress, if I'm still allowed to use that term!) whose name appears in the closing credits of one series of Knightmare only.
Just for you, Amy - there are 11 actors on this list, and one of them is pointless. Please post your first answer.

Okay then, I'll choose David Verrey.
