Gielinor Games Commentators
During the Gielinor Games, occasional commentary is given through floating megaphones. In addition, a small dialogue occurs when entering or finishing a game. The team of commentators consist of:
The Commentators
Mr Mordaut
Mr Mordaut is the old and wise draconic school teacher who is only encountered during the Surprise Exam random event. He seems to be an opposer of the cheese rolling, claiming it is too stupid for the advanced races. However, the circular cheeses are a whole new invention to the trolls. He appears to be the only one taking the commentating seriously, although he also makes the occasional random joke. He also appears to be trying to have serious conversations with the zombie, although that of course fails.
Thok
Thok is the master of Dungeoneering, brother of Marmaros and Bryll. He normally stands at Daemonheim selling the two Dungeoneering skillcapes, but now he has come to the Games to commentate. Or rather, compare athletes to himself and make funny but slightly dumb comments.
Tentacle
Tentacle is the leader of five mermaids, two of which (Manta and Remora) are incinerated by the Queen Black Dragon, with Urchin and Anemone still being alive. Those three are encountered during Deadliest Catch in which they consider feeding the player to Thassalus. Tentacle is usually seen having conversations with the troll, constantly being surprised of his stupitidy.
Raptor
Raptor, the mysterious warrior thinks that races are a waste of time, but he appreciates the type of races that Thok and his brother compete in which involves killing monsters. Also, he seems to opposed to the cheese rolling, for an unknown reason. Thok spectaculates that is because cheese gives him "bad Raptor nightmares".
Troll
The Troll is a rather slow character who shares many similarities with the Zombie, although he isn't as fussy when it comes to eating humans.
Zombie
The Zombie is the least intelligent of the commentators, worse than even the troll. He seems mostly concerned with eating brains.
Cheese Rolling
Starting comments
Thok: Cheese rolling is Thok's favourite! CHEESE ROLL - CHEESE ROLL - CHEESE ROLL
Mr Mordaut: Heavens preserve me. (link)
Thok: Why, Raptor? Bad history with cheese?
Raptor: No, that's not wh-
Thok: Eat too much cheese and have bad Raptor nightmare?
Raptor: If you'll excuse me, I have strykewyrms to kill. (link)
Tentacle: You're not meant to troll the cheese, you're meant to roll the cheese. (link)

- Zombie: That's...how...I roll
- Thok: Carve that cheese into a crown! No one beats that score.

Head-to-Head
Starting comments
Mr Mordaut: Deary me... People are here to watch the games, not hear about you. Welcome! My name is Mr Mordaut and it is my honour to commentate on this event. (link)
Tentacle: With difficulty.
Troll: Humans also run badly when they have no legs. That's why I eat legs first. (link)
Zombie: So...many...people... So many brains.
Mr Mordaut: Indeed, we really have a good turnout today. (link)
Thok: Thok like card games. Snap is a big favourite after a glass of mead.
Mr Mordaut: I was thinking of a more intricate card game.
Thok: Snap with two packs of cards?
Mr Mordaut: Something like that, yes. (link)
Thok: Yes, my rocky friend, Thok thinks this really good. (link)
Thok: Metal-man, races can be fun. Me and brother Marm would race to kill as many monsters as possible.
Raptor: That kind of race I can get behind. (link)
- Mr Mordaut: It's a misconception that athletics is solely about strength and speed.
- Mr Mordaut: It can be very tactical. The brain is just as important as the feet.
- Zombie: Brains...taste better than feet...
- Mr Mordaut: So, use your mind to take advantage of your opponents.

- Zombie: Mmm...brain canapes.
- Thok: A good race. Thok think this was great.
- Troll: Huh hur, me like fast food.
- Thok: Thok see what you did there!

- Troll: Okay.
- Tentacle: I'd give up now if I were you, human.
- Thok: I have faith in athlete.
- Mr Mordaut: A disappointing score for our athlete.

- Mr Mordaut: Yes, quite. Well done, athlete, a remarkable score that you should be proud of.
- Tentacle: They run faster than I can swim!
- Troll: They not run faster than troll can swim.
- Tentacle: Aren't you made of rock? No troll can swim.
- Troll: Look at it this way: trolls swim very fast downwards.
- Raptor: Not bad. I'm impressed, should use your speed to chase down monsters.
- Thok: Thok agree with metal man. Chase monsters, then crush them with your fists.

Resource Race
Starting comments
Mr Mordaut: It's a compulsion. We dragons are probably the worst of the bunch.
Tentacle: You sit on a horde of gold?
Mr Mordaut: Well, yes, but I only collect the rare coins. I have an Avarrocka guinea, would you believe...
Tentacle: Dragon geek! (link)
Zombie: Gotta...collect..em...all
Thok: Haha, Thok thinks you just eat brains. This race all about collecting and keeping. (link)
- Raptor: Waste of time. Should be killing things.
- Troll: But look at the pretty shiny rocks and trees.
- Raptor: I should kill you where you stand, monster.
- Troll: Wanna see them collect shiny things. Yay shiny!
- Troll: Troll don't get this race.
- Zombie: Grab stuff...in short space of time...
- Troll: Do they eat them?
- Zombie: No...but we eat athletes later...yes?
- Mr Mordaut: Grabbing what you can in a short space of time. A metaphor for life, eh Thok?
- Thok: I not know metaphor. My family talks with each other, not use flags.
- Mr Mordaut: Good lord, I didn't mean semaphor! You have a beautiful mind, Thok.

- Tentacle: Hah! Better luck next time, human.
- Raptor: Not impressed. Seems like a practice round.
- Tentacle: Or they're just not very good.
