Batale Of The Merchents.
-
I'll unsurprisingly vote for Master Scaramonger. I think he's so funny, and really nicely acted. The poaching scene is brilliant, and he even makes stock lines like "How much do you want for that Eye Shield?" funny and believable, even the second or third time. I do love the fact that he really does try sometimes to get dungeoneers to buy useless items, or at least things they're not meant to be buying. Thus, he's a challenge to encounter and deal with, which is great as far as dungeon characters go- so much better than actors who just seem so eager to volunteer the bit of information or item that the team in progress needs. To be fair to Honest Bartram, he didn't get much time to develop himself, but what I did see didn't impress me too much.
I do like these threads. It's a lovely idea, Skarkill. (Oh, I'll wear that joke out soon.) You could include Mistress Goody in with the hags. Or you could widen if to hags and witches (inc. Greystagg and Heggatty) or do hags (Mrs. G and Mistress Goody) separately from witches (Mildread?, Heggatty, Greystagg). Jesters would be good, and mages (well, the decentish aligned ones- Merlin, Hordriss, Grimaldine). The better aligned traders are a possibility. Or a choice among the elves! If you don't value your life, you could do the Majida vs. Pickle thing- just be careful not to get caught in the crossfire.
Anyway, great stuff.

Oh, and a battle among all the Swordmistresses/Greenwardens and such. And dungeon maids.
I'll shut up now.
-
That Is One Contest I refuse to get in the middle of The Battle between Pikle & Midijer.
That would be both un-wise and Un-LOVELY.
Actualy I was Think of makeing the Hags battale a four-way between
Mildred
Mrs. Grimwold
Mistress Goody
&
Heggety.
I Think I'll do that one next time unless anyone else has any other prefrences.

This kind of thing is similar to the Big Issue in the Eye Shield. Maybe you could send this stuff to Jake Collins for the Big Issue.
Just one factual error, Honesty Bartram sold a spell, not a password, to Daniel, (in exchange for the SIGHT potion), and it was used to avoid miremen. Daniel still died without the SIGHT potion, though.
And I wouldn't count Julius Scaramonger's 'kill' though - getting changed into a goblin wasn't what caused the death - it was the team not taking the folderol, and therefore not getting the blocker password.
Incidentally, other characters that could be done are Velda, Gwendoline and Romahna (a three-way comparison) (from what I can gather, they seem rather similar sorts of characters).
-
I never said that the team turning in to the goblain was the main cause of there death I only said it contributed to there demise.
And I have a suppision that had they take the other spell on offer they would not have become a goblain and even without Motleys Help would have got through as Brother Mace would have probabley told them the Blocker Password.
I think this because that Blocker apperd pretty early on in a leval especialy for level 2.
Thanks for the correction Joe Grocott-James.
I might just send these in to The Eye Sheild as I have already contributed a 3-part artical.
For anyone who is intrested it starts in isshue 5 (January)

Amen Ah Wok was the best tradesman in KM period he was hella entertaining all the way through.
But if were talking just opposition I like SCaramonger best of the opposition tradesmen.
-
Well Ah Wok and Rothenberay will be makeing an apperence in a latter thread.
So if you two whant to wait with those votes untill then
(All though I think it could be a bit of a one sided affair like Skarkill Vs Raptor.)
I am going to vote for both since I like both so the score stands at
Julius Scaramonger: 5 Honesty Bartram: 1
-
Julius Scaramonger had 'Young Grimwold' working for him by the end of Series 6.
But Ah Wok got away with calling Sidriss 'Syphiris' in Series 6 (bear in mind his accent :D).
They both have their moments, but I prefer JS overall. I'd love to have seen 'Mrs. Scaramonger and all the little Scaramongers'!
-
To refresh peoples memory this was a poll I set up to find out who was the best Opposition Trader.
The Contest was between
Julius Scaramounger & Honesty Bartram.
Well The results are in and the winner is.
JULIUS SCARAMOUNGER: With 6 votes to 1
Hmmm, Skarkill won the Goblain Master contest and now Julius has won The Opposition Trader poll.
Is there a pattern emerging with either Rayner Burton or The originals being better then there succsesors?
