Level 1

From the Wheel of Fortune, Anthony finds Folly sat disconsolate on the floor.

He attempted to woo Gretel the Maid, but she laughed at him. Then his own source of laughter, his folderol, ran away too.

You find my laughter for me, and I'll help you in your quest... Try listening at doors, but careful you don't go blundering through the wrong one by mistake!

Folly

Knightmare Series 2 Team 11. Anthony finds a dejected Folly.

They almost disappear through the wrong door, but are allowed to search for sounds of laughter elsewhere. Eventually they find it and proceed.

Knightmare Series 2 Team 11. Lillith shouts at Folly's folderol to be quiet.

Lillith: "Whose laughter are you anyway? And why did you come here to plague me!?"

Death

She requires a toll to summon her causeway. Anthony offers her the empty jar of humbugs, but she wants a potion.

Lillith: "I have no time for boys from Ash, so crumble, ledge, and boulders CRASH!"

Knightmare Series 2 Team 11. Anthony sinks into the abyss as Lillith collapses the causeway.

Anthony falls into the chasm. Nasty!

Treguard: "You dropped yourself right in that one team... If you can't read labels, then you can't read the writing on the wall."
