If a
Knightmare character or
dungeoneer wished to become unable to be seen, the more magical alternative to donning a
disguise was to utilise the power of invisibility (a word that, ironically, is full of eyes). When available, it was also a good way to for a
dungeoneer to stay out of danger - most of the time. Those who made use of invisibility (or near invisibility) include:
- The "Army of the Dead" that supposedly patrolled Series 1's
Great Corridor of the Catacomb. (Even if they weren't invisible, they certainly did not appear in front of any
teams.)
-
Assassins in
Series 4.
-
Mogdred and his
SHROUD spell in Quest 7 of Series 2.
-
Team 10 of Series 2 and the 'invisible stone' ruse.
-
Team 12 of Series 2 and their
talisman of invisibility. When held in a bare hand, it made the user totally invisible; so dungeoneer Steven wore a glove on one hand. The talisman was used on
Level 1 to fool the
Troll and impress
Mildread.
-
Team 3 of Series 3 and their "Amulet of Invisibility" (in fact a bracelet). It made Simon invisible to
goblins, though he appeared as a floating star to those watching from outside the
Dungeon. Unfortunately, this made Simon harder to guide, and he ended up wandering out of a mountainside cave mouth and falling to his doom.
-
Team 1 of Series 4 and their magical dagger.
-
Julius Scaramonger, who tried to sell
Matt (Team 1 of
Series 6) an "invisible
sword".
-
Bethsemane,
Sidriss' Cheshire
Cat.
-
Team 2 of Series 8 and their
SHADE spell.
-
Team 3 of Series 8 and their Invisibility
potion (see definition below).
-
Stiletta's use of a cloak of invisibility during
Team 6 of Series 8's quest.
Elshander, a character in the Knightmare book
Fortress of Assassins, also used such a cloak.
- In one episode of
Le Chevalier Du Labyrinthe, Knightmare's French equivalent, a dungeoneer used a vial to gain invisibility. This allowed him to sneak across a busy ballroom in order to reach a portal (though conveniently for his advisors he intermittently became visible en route).
