<![CDATA[The Descender jamming between floors.]]>This is familiar stuff, but may produce some slightly different answers.

Which Knightmare character would you least like to get stuck on the descender with if it jammed between floors? And please explain your answer.

NOTE: Sylvester Hands and Lissard are acceptable answers, but please come up with a better explanation than just, "'Cos they smell all pooey." (Hey, the descender's very large so you can sit a long way from them anyway.)

That Descender didn't get nearly enough credit. It's a stroke of genius, I tell you!

(And seeing as it's KM: wouldn't they be stuck in the Descender?)

Cedric and Ariadne

The Underworld in Greek mythology consisted of Elysium (fields of paradise), Asphodel (plains of nothingness), and as Pendragon mentions, Tartarus (place of eternal, hellish punishments) - three areas. Possibly not a coincidence that the Dungeon consists of three levels. See http://homepage.mac.com/cparada/GML/Underworld.html for more information.

According to Mrs. Grimwold, Festus had three heads before her husband bit one off, and five tails (which he sometimes wagged all at the same time). The number of heads that Cerberus had varies between ancient authors - one source says fifty heads. Cerberus appears in the second KM gamebook, Labyrinths Of Fear.

I do know however that Mr Grimwold bit one of them off errr

Charon needed a coin, Boatman needed an ingot of silver or gold, or sometimes both! No wonder Charon PLC got such a big share of the Ethereal Ferrying market!

I always thought the Styx was supposed to be a river deep down in underground caverns. An underground Styx as an entrance to Level 3 would be cool.

And a reintroducing of Festus may well be in order. If only we could see him this time...

The idea of level 3 being the Isle of the dead ties in with the level 3 of "Labarynth of Fear" as that is Hell, Hades or Tartarus.

The Greek Hell was Tartarus.

How about Brother Silence and Bostro? Imagine the conversations they'd have!

In the same way that Festus is supposed to be Cerberus, the three-headed guard dog of Hades.

They both go for the 'scruffy cowl hiding face' look.

Do you think the boatman is meant to be Charon, the dead guy that rows souls to Hades (AKA Level 3)?

5 minutes silence

Me:"Erm, is that a new cloak you've got over your head?"

BM:"Grumph."

2 more minutes silence

"I hear you cross rivers in a boat."

"Murph."

17 minutes silence.

"I think I'm going insane here..."

"Me too, as a matter of fact."

"Sorry, what did you just say?"

"Er, I mean-'mmurph.'"

Suddenly being trapped in a lift with Lord Fear doesn't seem so bad.

Maybe myself and Greystagg- although neither of us would be very good at making conversation considering all she's interested in is witch amber. And how can you talk about witch amber for three hours!?

As for two km characters, well, it would be entertaining to see Merlin, and a goblin stuck in a lift.

Also the doors will still probably be jammed. Just a thought though. I could imagine being stuck in a lift and the Brollachan suddenly appearing asking you to feed him knowlege.

He's powerful, and familiar with lifts, so I reckon he'd be able to free us. Plus, I'd like to find out more about him. Whether that desire would be mutual, I don't know...

I can imagine you get stuck with Fatilla he'd probably say something like "I'll blip ya and I'll blop ya if you don't get us outa here".

Anyway changing the subject slightly how about Jade Goody and back to the subject me and Gundrada. Hmm Elita and Gundrada could be interesting and so could Elita and Jade.
