Barry Topic
-
Rather than just obeying his advisors, he interacted properly with both them AND the characters. The team itself were very confident and treated the quest as something they enjoyed rather than a chore, as many teams seem to look as though they didn't really want to be there before.
Plus the team passed and won with flying colours.

Thank you, that's helpful. My memories of Series 7 had faded.

He is the Dungeoneer in sereis 7 who was responsibale for the defeat of "The King Of Trolls" Bullstrode when he retrived the Troll Hammer which Traguard used to kill Bullstrode.
Barry apperd to have forfited his quest to retrive the Troll Hammer but was in for a supprise (I won't spoil it in case Challange decides to show it at some point in the futeur or a DVD is relesed needless to say Lord Fear is left Doubalbley unhappy.)
Deffinatly a top contender for the best quest of all time.

Let's be honest, a barry topic without me is like Grippa without Rhark. Exactly. Barry is the biggest legend in KM and should be cast as Treguard's knew assistant!! Barry was not a dungeoneer. He was a person involved in the show. Never before or since will you find someone talking to the characters as if they were real - he didnt play the game, he took part in it. Another thing was he did exactly as he was told, and never panicked - example: When faced with hammer/shield he said: "Guys, there's no point in me getting the shield if there's no Knightmare Castle" - "Ok barry" (Derek) - "We'll take the hammer" - so thoughtful! And before he took fast backwards, (Adv) - "Barry, you're in a room. there's a portcullis behind you and a portcullis in front of you" (Barry) "Team, there doesnt seem to be anything to do except take the potion" (Adv) "Ok barry, take the potion" (Barry) "Im taking the potion" - Genius!! Seriously tho, after watching them, i wondered that if all teams worked together and thought at all logically, everyone would win! They all made it seem beatable. Barry = Hero. Fact.

i think the thing i liked about barry was the roleplaying. barry interacted with the characters, tried to convince them to do things and didn't have to be prompted by the NPCs to speak or get hinted into what he should say.
make sense?

Definately! No-one in the team needed to be prompted at all. They had proper discussions out loud - none of this whispering "what shall we do?" and also the dungeoneer was involved in these discussions rather than just being a tool - it just seemed so natural to them. They were the first group that acted like confident young adults and made good viewing at the same time.

Well, I guess that's one thing he can have over Martin (S3T11). Although Martin did but in when the advisors were discussing in hushed voices with "stop whispering!" (Yes, in case you hadn't guessed it he's my top runner for best dungeoneer - though as I said I haven't seen Barry's quest in a while and this thread just makes me want to see it again even more!)

The scene in the last episode with Barry, Romahna, Hands and the goblins must be the funniest in all of Knightmare.
"If you were strong, you'd be able to capture us both - this is a strength potion."
"Is it beer?"
"Well, more or less, tastes like beer, anyway."
"Oh no, I can't, his lordship said so."
"Well, there's no alcohol in it, so he won't mind."
"Well, if there's no alcohol I'm not interested."

Well what can I say guys, I'm humbled by your interest in my team's adventure, and completely speechless. I've never come across a 'Barry Topic' before. Thank you Long View for letting me know, my apologies I don't log in often enough to know anyway. Love to everybody.
