Necroscope Knowledge IV

[The Bloody Lady]

Copied from Nec Knowledge III (Nate, ur just so good at words...)

Well, it seems interest in this game has picked up again so here's a fresh thread.
The rules for any new recruits or short term memory loss sufferers.

*Once you have answered a question correctly, you are then next in line to ask a question of the rest of us.

*Please wait until your answer is confirmed as correct before moving on with your question. Usually this is done by the asker, but on occasion, that person is away and it can be confirmed by someone else. (But only after looking it up to be sure it is right.)

*Necroscope questions only in this thread. The "Lumlian Jeopardy" thread is where questions for other books should be placed. (If you can get a turn. )

*Don't be shy about taking guesses if you want. Even the most knowledgeable Lumlian around here has made an ass of his/herself. (Except those who're too scared to play! )

[The Bloody Lady]

This was the last question to be posted by Nate

does anyone know it? coz i don't..

What is the name of the submarine that became the Dark Lord Szwart's prison?

[Llamedos]

Subby the Submarine.....

Just thought I'd bring it back to the top, I don't know the answer.

[JB_Lestat]

we all live in a YELLOW SUBMARINE!!! :D :D :D
If I wasn't soooo lazy, I'd look it up... cuz I think I know where it is... but, like I said.... LAZY!!! :rolleyes:

[DC 1]

Was this the Komsomolets?

[Nathan]

I'm gonna give it to ya. Hopefully you looked it up 'cause I don't actually know the answer! redface.gif

But I guess I do now! :D

[Llamedos]

Subby the Submarine was the answer... I just made that up aswell..... Amazing.

Oh well I'll pass it over to DC, 'cause I'm good like that.

[DC 1]

I don't know if it's right either.
This was a real submarine that sunk off the coast of Norway in 1989 (ish).

But hey.... A nice easy one for all:

Who "made his own hole"

[Nathan]

I think I've Found the answer, Johnny! :D

[Llamedos]

Play on words N8; superb...

Correct as far as I'm concerned, but upto DC.

[topol_sheap]

I think you should FIND the surname

[DC 1]

I think you'll FIND that N8
FOUND the right answer.

Over to you.

[Nathan]

Cool. smile.gif

Gimme the name that Shaitan gave Turgo Zolte after he vampirized him...

[DC 1]

That has to be:

Shaithar Shaitanson

Or Son for short

[Nathan]

Yup!

[DC 1]

Can you name the 2 Brothers, One dead, one a werewolf (?).
Bothe named after famous authors?????

:cool:

[Nathan]

Aw man! The Jamaican guys with the obi or obai or sumpin like that, right?

What were their names...? :confused:

[topol_sheap]

RL Stevenson Jamieson
AC Doyle Jamieson...

if memory serves me correctly

[ June 10, 2002, 12:03 PM: Message edited by: Topol Sheap ]

[DC 1]

You are of course correct.

Over to you.....

[topol_sheap]

OK. Name the man with the evil eye in Necroscope 1....

Now this should be easy.

[Llamedos]

Oh god that is so easy, in fact it's that easy that I can't remember. Though I do remember that he was a Mongol, and Dragasoni killed him.

[The Bloody Lady]

Max Batu!!!!

yay! i got one....

i think...

[topol_sheap]

Over to you Scarlet my dear.

[The Bloody Lady]

ok, can't think of anything exciting so i'll ask this

who was Nestor's friend?

[Llamedos]

The DOg Lord, Canker

[The Bloody Lady]

NOPE

try again

[Nathan]

Other than Canker later on there was Jason Lidesci, Nathan, and Misha when they were children. Then came Brad Berea and his family, and soon after that came Wran who was only an ally for a bit. Which brings us back to Canker...

Did I miss someone? Wratha, perhaps?

[The Bloody Lady]

i was looking specifically for Jason as he was Nestors friend, not Lord Nestors friend

see, told ya it was crap

Nate...u got the ball

:D

[Nathan]

Name the first vampire Nathan saw slain.

A clue:

He was a lieutenant (a nearly ascended lieutenant) of Wran the Rage.

[DC 1]

I think this was Vratsa (?) Wransthrall

[Nathan]

Vratza, yes! Nicely done! smile.gif

Either you didn't look it up or you purposely misspelled. Good one! smile.gif

[DC 1]

Just finished the book again and remembered the name but not the spelling.

Which of the Szgany Hagi did Shaitan share a caravan with?

:rolleyes:

[Llamedos]

It was that woman, of the Szgany Hagi Clan. You know she had that name and everything.

Trying to bring this back to undeath!!!!!

[Nathan]

Maria Babeni, daughter of Dezmir.

[DC 1]

Correct N8

But I do like your answer Llamedos. She lives in B'Stoke now apparently......

[Nathan]

Who captured Mikhail Simonov's future wife upon her arrival in Starside?

[ June 28, 2002, 05:01 PM: Message edited by: Nathan ]

[Exsanguinator]

Hey - Canker!...

...Wasn't that you...? tongue.gif

[Nathan]

Nope...Canker was suckling teat (or whatever) in Turgosheim at the time.

[The Bloody Lady]

Lady Karen i believe....

[Nathan]

Got it Scar...you go girl. :D

[The Bloody Lady]

[The Bloody Lady]

:eek:

[Goth Girl]

Would that be Lardis and Lissa?

[Nathan]

Thank you! I was losing my mind! smile.gif

[The Bloody Lady]

Madame Goth, the floor is yours...

Nate...i'm shocked!.... ;)

[Goth Girl]

Alrighty then... let's have the names of three Heads of the Russian E-Branch and their particular talents... tongue.gif

[Llamedos]

Head 1, Spare head 1 and Spare head 2...They were for Kryton.

Oh sorry, were not on about 'Red Dwarf' are we.
:D

[Nathan]

Oh don't be shocked...it wasn't that I didn't know the answer, it was that no one was answering!

Ah, let's see...

Borowitz...spotter?
Khuv...no (extrasensory) talent.
Tzonov...face to face mind reading.

[Goth Girl]

Without checking, I'm not too sure about Chuv... I thought he was more a military dude... but I'm too cold to argue, so over to you N8

;)

[Nathan]

But that's what I mean! No talent!

Ummmmmm.....Name the guy with extra long arms on a short body who rips off equipment in battle..

[Llamedos]

oooh its' one of those damn Wampyre! innit. He's got teeth and everything. It's the one from Turgothingy, lives in on of those small hill spires innit. Ahhh!!!, whats the name, its' on the tip of my finger's.

No, I'd have to re-read it....sorry.

[EDIT] The name Tom, keeps popping into my head though, is this in the name?

[ July 09, 2002, 04:11 AM: Message edited by: Llamedos ]

[Nathan]

You've described his home and manse and gotten two of three letters in his name correct. Close enough for me. smile.gif

Lom Halfstruck was his name. Take it.

[Llamedos]

Oh, didn't expect to get it... erm.....

Fairly easy. What was the name of The Wildlife Specialist in the Lost Years. You know the one tha thad idea's about werewolves etc....

[JB_Lestat]

Angus McGowan?????? :confused:
I think...........?

The name Bonnie Jean keeps coming up in my mind too... but I don't think it's her...

[Llamedos]

That was the one I was thinking of. So over to you JB.

[EDIT] Angus, not Bonnie. She was a werewolf.

[ July 11, 2002, 12:56 PM: Message edited by: Llamedos ]

[Exsanguinator]

Just as an aside... Angus McGowan - isn't he the fella with gigantic hands who does impressions?

[Goth Girl]

No, he's the smug policitical quiz show host who got caught with his pants down recently...

[JB_Lestat]

Okay here goes... Who was the keeper of The Thing in the Tank? Here's a hint: they captured it when it came through the portal & it's keeper was no longer human because of The Thing...
I hope I didn't make it too easy!

& I won't be online again 'til Sunday night... so when you answer either wait 'til I'm back, or have one of the omniscent ones tell you if you got it right(like N8 :D !)

[JB_Lestat]

Well, here I am checking on my Q on Sunday night and not a nip... well, here's another hint...

His name starts with an "A"...

Happy hunting!

[The Bloody Lady]

Vasily Agursky

:D

[JB_Lestat]

We have a winner!

Over to you Scarlet!

[The Bloody Lady]

Vavara had a shrine...where was it?

[Goth Girl]

D'oh... tip of tongue... the fact that I can't remember makes me realise that it's been waaaaaay too long since I read the final trilogy... Thank you Scarlet, I now have a direction for my reading material!

[The Bloody Lady]

[Lady Rissa]

Hmmm, I know she had taken over a covent in Greece (??)

[The Bloody Lady]

Lady Rissa....ur getting there

P........

[Goth Girl]

I just finished reading this one, so it's fresh in my mind now... does that count as cheating? tongue.gif

[The Bloody Lady]

Goth

well since nobody else even bothered to cheat then go for it!

[Goth Girl]

hee hee...

well the shrine was at Palataki on the Greek island of Krassos... now if I'm wrong I'm gonna look like such a fool (wouldn't be the first time this year...!)

[The Bloody Lady]

pheew!.........finally......

:D

[Goth Girl]

Alrighty then... why doesn't Paul Garvey smile?

[Nathan]

Cause it scares the sh*t outta people! Ya know...cause of the scars left by Johnny Found.

[Goth Girl]

Yaaay!! Your turn!

[Nathan]

Name the scientist who survived the blowback at Perchorsk that created the Starside gate.

[JB_Lestat]

He's Russian!(duh... :D ) I think it starts with an L????

If no one gets it after a while I'll cheat and look it up...

[Llamedos]

Mr Scientist.

[JB_Lestat]

just tell me when to cheat N8... :D

[Nathan]

Looking up an answer is not cheating. smile.gif

A lot of times just knowing where to look it up is the problem! smile.gif

[The Bloody Lady]

Luchov?...but that isn't his first name tho....

[Nathan]

Last names alone work on Jeopardy! so...gopher it! smile.gif

[The Bloody Lady]

u know, i just saw this, i did'nt know i got it right!!!

ok here we go

who is Emil Hagisman chief lieutenant to?

[Exsanguinator]

Sounds like someone trying to explain Scottish cuisine to a Continental-type...

Emille... It's haggis, man!

[JB_Lestat]

Vavara?????????? :confused:

Wasn't she "Vavara the Hag"? Well, I tried... without looking it up! :D :eek:

[Nathan]

Heinar Hagi?

[The Bloody Lady]

JB, full marks for trying but.........nope

NATE....sock it to me babe!!!

:D :D :D

[Nathan]

Okay...KAPOWIE!! smile.gif

Who did Harry sock it to the first time Graham Lane helped him from the grave in a fight?

[topol_sheap]

damn damn damn.... I only read this about 3 weeks ago.... it was the bully from his school, now if only I could remember his name... it wasn;t stanley green, or did I make that up?

[Llamedos]

Typical, the only time I know an answer without having to look it up and somebody, mentioning no names (like Tops for example), answers it, therefore I am unable to, just because I haven't been on for one day, it's no reason to go start answering the one's that I know. I mean come on, lets be sensible about this, I don't answer the ones that I don't know the answers too do I.

[topol_sheap]

I would assume that means I am right then? woo hoo... llamedos, green is not your colour:)

[Nathan]

Yessir, you are keerect. smile.gif

And dammit, Llam, I was giving that one to ya! Where were ya?

tongue.gif

[Goth Girl]

I dunno, green suits him just fine after a heavy drinking sesh at the Ben Crouch Tavern!

[Llamedos]

I think a pale pasty green is the perfect colour after a drinking sesh at The Ben Crouch Tavern. It proves that you've been doing something worthwhile.

[Lady Louise]

I think we were all a little green after that day in Ben Crouch!

:eek: :eek:

[topol_sheap]

never... I know someone who was well green! personally I have a stomach with a lead lining... years of my mothers cooking...

question.

name the person who was working for the KGB in Krakovitches (spelling) e-branch

[Goth Girl]

Probably embarrassing myself totally, cos I haven't checked, but was it Sergei Gulharov? Or am I mixing up my Russians again? ;)

[The Bloody Lady]

Goth, ur mixing up....Sergei worked FOR krakovitch

its theo dolkigh (sp?)

hmmmmmmmm, felt really confident writing that down and now i've done it, i'm not so sure....

:eek:

[Goth Girl]

D'oh! That'll teach me to read questions properly! I think the only Russians I'll deal with from now on will be the type in a glass containing vodka!

[The Bloody Lady]

so was i right or wot?

[topol_sheap]

It took you so long to reply I can't remember the answer:) I think it was the man Theo Dolgikh!!!!! as opposed to theo doglick

[The Bloody Lady]

i didn't say doglick!!

did i?

i can't think of a question to ask, someone else take the floor

:D

[Goth Girl]

Giving this topic a bit of a shake!

What are the names of Dragosani's aunt and two cousins?

[topol_sheap]

dirty old woman, slut 1 and slut 2?

will that do? heh heh ;P

[Nathan]

Hildegard was Aunty's name. I'll look up slut 1 and slut 2 later, if no one else has by then. smile.gif

[Lady Rissa]

I think I finally got a question right!

Slut 1 was Katrina and Slut 2 was Anna.

Awaiting confirmation.......

[Goth Girl]

Yup, they are indeed the sluts!

The floor is yours m'dear, we await your question :D

[Lady Rissa]

Ok, lets see. How about....

What were the names of Yulian Bodescu's parents??
Need both mother & father's names.

The floor is open...

[Lagula Longarm]

Ahhhh I knew there was another reason why I decided to start reading Necroscope II Wamphyri !

....Woah a pop up just came up as I was about to post :mad: That's never happened here before...

Anyway as I was about to say... Ilya & Georgina Bodescu

[Lady Rissa]

Right you are Deano!

Now its your turn.

Ask away.

[Lagula Longarm]

Okay, as it is fresh in my mind can you name .. a man all chest and arms, with short stumpy legs.
I'll give you a clue he is an old Wallach !

[Silver]

I can't remember the spelling, or if indeed I have the right one, but I think it might be Elrig, or Enrig or something? Am I even close?

[topol_sheap]

could it be Thibor? he's an old Wallach

[Goth Girl]

Ehrig? It's not that long since I read it so I hope that's right!

[topol_sheap]

I be wrong then??? damn my sieve like mind

[Lagula Longarm]

Well done GG, and unlucky silver, the answer is Ehrig Take it away GG

[Goth Girl]

To be fair, I wouldn't have got it if I hadn't seen Silver's reply, so I think it should be her question...

Go for it Silver m'dear!

[Silver]

Thanks GG.

Who was the guy who owned the casino before Malinari the Mind?

[Nathan]

Jethro Manchester?

[Silver]

Your turn N8

[Nathan]

:)Thanks Silver.

How many grandsons did Harry have? Name them for extra recognition.

:D

[The Bloody Lady]

Blaze...grinner....dock?????

i can't remember any others off hand....

[Nathan]

That's cause there aren't any more!

Take it, Scar!

:D

[The Bloody Lady]

imagine i had won the lottery but had no idea that i had won it...its a bit like this (with more perks naturally)....i had no idea i got it right..someone should give me a periodical kick up the backside!!....

i just thought, it my own sweet way, that Nate had posed an extremely hard question as usual.... tongue.gif

ok...what were the names of Dragonsani's evil relatives?

[Nathan]

That makes me think of Brian not knowing he was nominated for an award for one of his stories until a decade later! Can you imagine?

And his relatives weren't exactly evil, were they? Just a little sex-starved!

Does that make one evil?

:D

[Goth Girl]

deja vu!

[The Bloody Lady]

sex starved...evil....much the same thing...lol...nah just kidding, i couldn't think of any other quesiton either Goth...i know we've had it before...oh but hey, i can't remember the names so.........

redface.gif

[Llamedos]

Katrina and Anna as page 3. on Necroscope Knowledge IV.

Does this mean I win?

[The Bloody Lady]

oh my god it was within Nec IV???

shows how innovative i am these days!!!

:D redface.gif

LLamedos, go for it, i'm sure yours will be more exciting and challenging than mine...

[Llamedos]

Probably not as exciting but here goes anyway.

What are Harry's numbers (numerology speaking) and what do they mean.

[Llamedos]

HINT:-

Nostradomas Quantrains

[Exsanguinator]

Does that mean number four chronologically rather than sequentially? tongue.gif

[Llamedos]

No I mean Lost Years Volume 2. That's where the answer is.

[Lady Rissa]

Harry's numbers were:

11 - a visionary, martyr

and

22 - Master Magician

Oddly enough, these are also Brian's Numbers. Bit of a coincidence, da'ya think....

[ December 27, 2002, 01:01 PM: Message edited by: Lady Rissa ]

[Llamedos]

All yours L.R.

[Lady Rissa]

Hmmm, what to ask???

I'll make it easy,
What was Harry Keogh's biological father's name?

[Lagula Longarm]

If my memory serves me (and not the companion) tongue.gif It was Gerald Snaith

[Nathan]

Heh...

[Lady Rissa]

Right you are Deano, your turn. smile.gif

[Lagula Longarm]

What is the name given to Wamphyri, who attempt to deny the leech it's natural desires and lusts ?

[Exsanguinator]

Self-flagellists... heheh

[Lagula Longarm]

Sometimes I really worry about you .... tongue.gif

[Canker]

Isn't it Zoltism or something like that? After Turgo Zolte... I might have to re-read though :D

[Lagula Longarm]

The word I was looking for was Zolteist, but I will accept Zoltism..take it away Canker..oh and Happy New Year mate :D

[Canker]

When Harry first travelled to the world of Sunside/Starside he went by the underground Gate in Romania......
Who was the individual (headless, rotting corpse) that Harry spoke with briefly and how did "it" get that way? :D

[Canker]

Oh come on people!!! This one is soooo easly! :eek:

[Lady Rissa]

The headless vampire was Corlis, after he tried to take over Lady Karen's aerie, and Lady Karen herself. She was at the Gate to punish Corlis when Zek came through. After she tried to shoot him, one of Lady Karen's men took his head off with a sword. smile.gif

[Canker]

You are quite right my dear!!!!!! :D :D
You're up Lady Rissa. ;)

[Lady Rissa]

Ok, lets see. Try this one.

Who was Harry's 1st sexual fumblings?

Might not be who you think... ;)

[Llamedos]

Harry's fist, sorry meant first sexual fumbling.....Harry?

[Lady Karen]

Harrys first sexual encounter was Brenda,I think lol :mad:

[Lady Rissa]

Good try Lady Karen, and in reading the 1st Necroscope, you would think that is the answer. However, in a later book, another girl was named has having been before Brenda. :rolleyes:

[Lady Rissa]

Ahhhh, Alas I think my question was to hard. Shall I provide the answer and ask another question??? ;)

[Nathan]

Are you talking about Graham Lane and the teacher he was boffing in the woods while Harry watched?

[Lady Karen]

Surely that doesnt count as harrys first fumblings????

[Llamedos]

Still think I was closer with 'Harry'

[Goth Girl]

Arghh, I know who you're talking about, another girl besides Brenda, but just can't think of the name... wasn't Helen was it? (Do the words 'clutching' and 'straws' spring to mind?)

[Lady Rissa]

Goth Girl, your grasping at straws came up a winner. Yes, it was some girl named Helen who was described as being before Brenda. :D Now, who is this girl and why she was only given a passing mention, I don't know. Maybe Brian just wanted to see if we were paying attention. Oh well.

Llamedos, you are probably also correct, however since there has been no mention of Harry as being his fist, err first, it doesn't count. ;)

GG, your turn!

[Goth Girl]

Ummmm... no Necroscope books to hand... what to ask...

Ok, here's a question that I couldn't fit into this month's newsletter article...

What was Max Batu's preferred drink?

[Lupa the Ancient]

GG is it Slivovitz -- summat like that???

[Goth Girl]

That's the stuff, Ancient1... your question!

[Lupa the Ancient]

Oh heck ... I ain't a quiz master, but here goes..

What is the name of the Island where Jazz and Zek Simmons own a Villa?

There you go guys and gals ..... ;)

[Lady Karen]

Zante for short or Zekinthos ;) Enter of your own free will
