Hehe, what a splendid way to study latin; learning from KM. Bet you Virgil would have quivered in his old bare feet at Mace's res gestae tabernae.
Sempiternam requiem, and all that.

Salve! Good to hear from a fellow Classicist.Finger up as a classicist. Series 4 will not be a problem as far as that goes. Am studying English and Latin. Was just itching on the one occasion when Mace 'asks' - I don't suppose you speak any latin? - The thought at 14/15 of saying 'Oh, well, a little, yes!' Heh.. might have knocked the rosters a bit. Even correcting the pronounciation of 'iocus', which I think is wrong. Still, Mace was arguably my fav. in-dungeon character in S4 anyhow, apart from 'one's' old favourite, Magister Veneficus, Hordriss.

*puts hand up* Another Classicist graduate here! Joint MA in English Literature and Classical Civilizations. However, since it's a joint Honours, I didn't do a language. I wanted to do Latin, but the workload with English was just too high. Ah well.
I'm intending to start an 'anyone do Classics?' thread on here at some point, as I've always found that knowing about the Ancient Greek and Roman takes on 'fantasy' enriches the experience of watching Knightmare.
Would you? Ooh, thanks!

Anyway, back on topic. I could transcribe Series 2 and 5 for you, but it might take a while. ;)
I'm sorry that Velda never gave you an answer.Scott_Wilkinson wrote: Then Hordriss appeared later in the quest at the end of the pathway with quicksand in the grass. When Christopher reaches him, Hordriss is meditating again, only he was walking back and forth this time. Christopher was guiding towards him, and Hordriss sees him with the hourglass.
Hordriss - "Ahhhh, yes, one is gratified to discover that in these modern times there are still some young people who know... how to honour a bargain. I thank you kindly."
Christopher gives him the hourglass, and some goblins appear.
Treguard - "Emergency, the goblins are upon you."
Hordriss - "SILENCE DUGEON MASTER!!! One hesitates to boast, (walks towards the goblins) but one is quite capable of copeing with such minor blenses. (sorry, Velda, I could only hear him say something like that.) SCALIBUS, BREHERST!!"
A sword chases the goblins away.
Hordriss - "Ha ha ha ha ha. Most satisfying, (looks at Christopher) you are, of course, in my debts. But then, who is not. Ha ha. Oh, yes, by the way. The second step is the swimmer. Farewell."
How was that Velda?
I believe he says 'minor blemishes', followed by 'Excalibur's Behest!', whereby a sword is summoned to continue the legacy of Excalibur by chasing the goblins away. Quite a striking scene in all: Hordriss hears Treguard and shouts at him from within the Dungeon (putting him 'up there' with Mogdred in this series), launches an attack with a floating sword (which also puts him on a par with Mogdred), and then, in spite of just having bellowed at the Dungeon Master, he helps a dungeoneer! We're left feeling that Hordriss is one to be watched by everyone, but not to be crossed by anyone. Superb. If only Hordriss had stuck to English incantations in the following seasons, instead of shifting to Cod Latin!Scott_Wilkinson wrote:Hordriss - "SILENCE DUGEON MASTER!!!
