<![CDATA[Characters From The Books...]]>Hi There

I was flicking through my books not so long ago, and I was thinking that it would have been cool to have a few more characters from the books incorporated into the show.

I think maybe Anna (Can You Beat The Challenge) could have been a good assistant.

Also, wouldn't it have been good to see Rupert of Armitage (Labyrinths Of Fear, The Sorcerers Isle) as an evil character....

What does everyone think?

Here's a reassuring verdict on the matter:

'Like I said elsewhere, if people want to cheat in a solo game, who are they hurting after all?'

Reassuring because it comes from Dave Morris himself!

When you made a decision, did you hold your place in the book before reading on?

That Gruagach fellow, for example, has all the makings of a rather mighty Big Bad...

I would have had Elshander as a neutral character in there. Out of the bad guys, I would agree with those who put Arawn in their lists, I especially agree with Drassil's suggestion that the dungeoneer would endure a battle of wits with the evil elf king. Also, how about the satanic, Keith Richards inspired Seigneur des Mouches? He would be certainly be an interesting final foe to encounter!

Anna wasn't a mermaid! She was no more mermaid than Treguard.

He did rescue her though, as she was kept against her will by a Drylander!

I've got Fortress of Assasins (third one) ordered and should be here soon!

Also, Gobble? Maybe as a playmate for Festus? Oo-er...

That's right, Treguard rescues her from the fellow that parades her aound in a cage as a freak show attraction.

Arawn? Never thought of that.

That would have probably been quite cool...

I would have enjoyed seeing Arawn, from Labyrinths Of Fear, on the show. As a fellow Knightmare fan pointed out to me recently, an evil elf on Knightmare would be a striking departure from the norm. He could confront the team with riddling contests of increasing difficulty as they move deeper into the Dungeon.
