The thing that makes me laugh the most in this ep is when Treguards having one of his useful moments in the dwarf tunnels in level 2
"OOh stop stop its too dark in here just for ..

Team 4 were hurried leaving Rothberry's stall. Liked the way advisor Asmita had to turn to work-out which way to direct Naila.
Made a total shambles of timing their run past the troll's club and avoided life-force damage by luck rather than judgment. These sight potions seem to hinder teams rather than help. Her advisors would have done better guiding her in the traditional manner.
Encountered Grimaldine, who traded their horn for a firestone, which they immediately gave to Smirky for passage to level 2. The dragon flight was very lengthy.

Straight to a clue-area. Chose the magic book and the lamp.
In the next chamber Naila was cornered by Raptor and the goblins. Used the spell-book to cast "BOLT" to drive them away.
Next-up was the brollachan. They nearly missed the first question as they were talking. Dealt with the questions easily, altho they were all 50:50.
Treguard suggested that they use the lamp in the dwarf tunnels. It didn't look much darker than usual, but they nearly missed a spyglass. Learned a trap combo using it.
They didn't look at all convincing in the trial by spikes. Were very slow and eventually panicked and stepped backwards onto a spike. Oooh nasty!

Team 5 were assigned the quest for the (poisoned)chalice. They had a lively start, running straight into Romahna, with goblin horns approaching, just as time-out arrived.

Im sorry, but Treguard is helping them WAY too much in this series.

He's even started guiding the dungeoneers 'climb over the back of the seat and leave the firestone'

He;s started the annoying habbit of pretending to not know what the items are. 'think its up the back there somewhere' was bad enough but now 'think thats a lamp'. YOU KNOW ITS A LAMP. what happened to the confident Treguard who KNEW the dungeon?

Shall we take the book?
"Ooh its quite useful"
So now, he's telling them what items to take, in LEVEL 2.

And they were blatantly told they suddenly had the BOLT spell and Treguard went 'USE IT'. Ooh I give up. WAY TOO MANY. But they still died, so they were particularly hopeless.

The new team by contrast have a much tougher quest.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to have found Series 7-8's Uncle/Grandpa Treguard distracting at best.

A recent tweet suggests that Series 7 Team 5 went to the same school in Salisbury as Series 6 Team 5. I hope the school put it in their prospectus.
