Necroscope Knowledge Eye Vee now closed.

I'm pretty sure Lady Karen has the torch. Might want to let the ancient1 confirm before going though...

The rules (again) 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! )

[Lupa the Ancient]

Yeh its Zakynthos .. so its over to you Lady Karen.......

[Lady Karen]

Who is Illya Sul and Lupe?
Enter of your own free will :D

[Canker]

Um.... Um..... "BloodBrothers".... not sure of the exact page. :D
Lupe was the wolf that attacked Shaitan a couple of years after he was "infected" with vamirism. This was during his first encounter with Sunsiders after living with the Trogs for 2 years I believe. The other gentlemen was the one with the wolf (Lupe) tracking Shaitan... or whom he called "Master" after. :D
Correct?

[Lady Karen]

The one person i suspected would get it lol,
Yes Illya Sul was a watchman for the Szgany Hagi who with his wolf Lupe chased Shaitan from the town and became the first entirely human underling of the Wamphyri.
Over to u Dog Lord :D

Two part question here....

Which individual was it that infected Lord Radu with the ailment that he carried with him to his "entombment" and exactly what was that ailment? :D ;)

[Lady Karen]

It was the black death which Radu contracted in a fight with Faethor Ferenczy in 1348.Radus leech could not cure him while he was active in the world,and he was obliged to retire. :D

[Lady Karen]

Sorry took so long ive not been well and i wanted to find a question where the answer wasnt found in the companion lol.
Ok here goes,What was the name of the ill fated cruise ship whose entire crew and passengers are vampirized ,with the exception of one man.And What was the name of the suvivor?

Enter of your own free will :D ;)

[Exsanguinator]

This is one that defies my severe lack of memory... and need to post daft, wry and inane comments in here...

It was the Evening Star... I can remember trying to decide if there was some hidden meaning in that name...

Edit:

I'll learn to read the questions properly in future... The survivor's name was Nikolau Rassu or something... I think... maybe! lol

Thanks - and sorry to others, I just realised how quickly I answered that one after it was posted...

I'd like to say I answered it so there'd be a different name up here posing a question, but truth is it isn't often I can recall names etc so I was chuffed when I saw I could!

Anyways - to the Question...

In Necroscope V: Deadspawn (though not in the Companion) one of the Lords banished to the Icelands gets to recount his history - how he BECAME Wamphyri.

Trouble is Wamphyri are troublesome beings at the best of times (the rest of the time they're out and out liars!) and he gives TWO different stories of how he ascended.

Who was this Lord of Liars, and can you remember what the two stories were?

[Canker]

AHHHHH... that's a gooood question. :D
It's from one of my favorite times during the whole Necroscope series and yet I cannot remember myself. tongue.gif
Excellent questions though! ;)

[Exsanguinator]

Danke Canker...

I do try, though some would say I'm just trying! lol

Bonus question, can someone explain why the menus on the side are opening and closing as random as I'm typing this - I think my brower's haunted! :eek:

[Exsanguinator]

Time for a clue methinks...

If your edition of Deadspawn has the last page of the novel on page 584 then this will help - if not then I'm not sure! lol

Arikis Leperson's first explanation fo his heritage is on page 179, the second within a mere few pages of that... more I cannot say.

Hope this helps..?

[Lady Karen]

ok i got the book out though not the companion lol,i also waited a few days before answering.
The first account is that Arkis Leperson was the recipient son of his father Radu Arkis.In son he was a traveller lieutenant who more than a century ago found favour in Radus eyes and was now Arkis Leperson as he carried his egg.
The second is that Arkis had beeb sired Morgis Griefcry out of a traveller waif.Shed been a leper and her infection had taken Morgis in his member which had been the first of his parts to slough.Finally when the disease took its hold he committed suicide and left Arkis the youthful lord and heir to the aerie.
:D

[topol_sheap]

OK, willl have to think about this... I know the rules, but can I ask a non-necroscope question that is Brian Lumley related? Nate whould be the one to answer this as this thread really is his baby!

If I can't do that, then I'll come up with something very good:) OH yeah...

Tops

[topol_sheap]

Who was the real "Beast of Bodmin"?

[topol_sheap]

do you want clue yet?

[Lupa the Ancient]

I am wracking my feeble brain .... and just can't remember..... I for one wouldn't mind a clue!!! :mad:

[Goth Girl]

Ummm... dammit, one of BJ's boys...

Was it something like Alan-on-the-Moor? or the other one, Garth Something?

Sorry, feeling a bit vacant today! (Well, OK, more than usual!)

[topol_sheap]

Goth,

That'll do... Alan Goresci, but Alan on the moor will do nicely...

Check out Tom Shearer's chapters in the companion for more info (not a shameless plug!)

Over to you,

Tops

[Goth Girl]

Oh dearie me... sitting in my office without a Lumley book in sight, so forgive my feeble question!

What was the name of Francesco and Antonio's female servant and the name of her son?

Hint: the answers are in two separate books...

[Goth Girl]

Just had a thought (no, it's not my birthday...!)

When looking at questions and answers in this thread, please bear in mind that there may be spoilers...

My last question has prompted this, as the answers come from separate books, one of which is from one of the last books in the whole series, which not everyone might have read.

You can't say you weren't warned!! ;)

[Silver]

I think the name of the servant was Katerine or Katerina, and her son must have been Luigi Castellano (not sure I spelled that right)

[Goth Girl]

Hey, it's a quiz not a spelling contest... not having either book to hand, I couldn't spell 'em either!

But you're correct, which is the main thing... take it away m'dear!

[Silver]

Why thank you GG

Who were the two Thyre ancients whose combined ideas could turn the desert into an oasis?

[Nathan]

Hey! Hey! I know this one! Don't even have to look! :D

Someone else take it... if you can. tongue.gif

Good one. smile.gif

(BTW... should we go ahead and ban the use of The Companion? We can trust each other to hold to that, can't we? :D )

[Goth Girl]

Ethloi (sp?) and, ummmmmm... pass!

Must be blindingly obvious that there's no use of the Companion here! I wouldn't sully such a beautiful book by putting it in my bag and hauling it through the Tube system every day, anyway!

[Silver]

Sorry Gorh Girl it's not him

PS. I only used the Companion for quick reference to spelling for the answer, for when someone gets it, I know spelling isn't important but I like to get it right when I can!

[Goth Girl]

Shaeken? Was he one?

Why does my mind go blank (or blanker!) at lunch times?

[Lady Karen]

Shaeken & Tharkel i think
:rolleyes:

Enter of your own free will

[Silver]

Shaeken is one Goth Girl but I have to give it to Lady Karen as she got them both.

[Lagula Longarm]

Not as blank as my noggin GG, the only Thyre I can think of are Bridgestone of the long flat road and Firestone of the smoking mountain tongue.gif

[Lady Karen]

Ok sorry ive been a bit slow setting another this week just been busy.

[Nathan]

[Nathan]

Some of you may remember this one...

What should Spiro Killglance have been renamed just before his death over Turgosheim?

Sorry, newcomers, you prolly don't have a chance at this one unless you were a lurker for a long time... or unless your mind works like mine. :D

Think pun. :D And no, it ain't in the books.

N8

[Nathan]

Okay so it wasn't as memorable as I thought it might be. tongue.gif

Try this one:

Who were the participants of the live porn show Harry witnessed as a boy?

[topol_sheap]

Was it Sergeant Graham Lane and his teacher, can't remember her name though :(

[ March 03, 2003, 09:12 AM: Message edited by: Tops ]

[Nathan]

Oh my! Tops gave away half the answer!

:D

[Nathan]

It kinda looks like you mean Graham's teacher. :D

He seemed pretty capable to me...

:D

[topol_sheap]

not quite what I meant by 'his' smile.gif 'His' meaning Harry's! ALthough I see your point about that!

[ March 03, 2003, 11:05 AM: Message edited by: Tops ]

[Goth Girl]

So is Tops in the driving seat for this now, Nathan? I can't remember the female teacher's name... my faulty memory is saying Dorothy Something.

If Tops is next up for a question, I guess we'll have to wait for him to return from NY!

[Nathan]

Sure, go ahead and take it, Tops.

[topol_sheap]

can I come back tomorrow when I am more alive?

[Exsanguinator]

No - play it now, Now, NOW! tongue.gif

Or tomorrow... whichever's easiest... heheh

[Llamedos]

Is it tomorrow yet Tops?

[topol_sheap]

yep just thinking... I have a question, but can't remember the answer right now! will get back to you all tomorrow.... here's a clue - get reading the source.

[topol_sheap]

Can you name the man who removed Jazz Simmons "poisoned" tooth?

[Silver]

I remember the scene in the book, I remember his fate but dam it I just can't remember his name!

[Llamedos]

Ditto to Silvers' remark!!!

I can see it in my minds eye... I can even see him later on in the book, but cannot for the life of me remember his name.

Sorry, but unless someone else has it in memory, I 'll have to check 'The Companion'.

[Llamedos]

Had to pick up the Source to re-read it, but after coming back to work. I completely forgot the complete name.

However 'KARL ????'

[topol_sheap]

half way there...

[Nathan]

Vy...

[topol_sheap]

so half from ll and a quarter from n8... whatever next?

[ March 21, 2003, 04:17 PM: Message edited by: The Caller of the Black ]

[Nathan]

Shouldn't that be "Topsotsky"?

tongue.gif

[The Caller of the Black]

Originally posted by Nathan:

tongue.gif OK, we'll change his name and nationality to Topsotsky, the Russian Goat Herder. I'll inform Passport Control so it's all proper and above board.

[topol_sheap]

you guys should have your own show - you're the funniest people ever... get on with it people smile.gif

[Nathan]

Karl freakin' Vyotsky.

:D

[topol_sheap]

errr... OK, I think I might have to let this go to Nate...

[Nathan]

What's the key differnce between Vamphyri and Wamphyri?

[topol_sheap]

the V and W :D

[Nathan]

Look at all those trees!

And Tops saw the forest anyway!

His smileys tell me he thought he was being a wiseass and probably didn't have the answer I was looking for.

I say, it's better (in most cases) to be a smartass than to be a dumbass.

Take it away. :D

[topol_sheap]

Hey N8,

Just a bit of payback, next payback willl be to Mr Black! Now I have to think of a nasty question!

But to be fair, I think I'll give this to llamedos as he didn't take the piss out of my last question, and knew the answer, even if he didn't know the surname...

Take it away my man...

Tops.

Ps. I thought at first that you were asking something specific, then it came to me, it's N8, he takes the rise!

[The Caller of the Black]

Originally posted by Nathan:
What's the key differnce between Vamphyri and Wamphyri? Since Topsotsky is gunning for me, I'll be pedantic and say that the real answer is they are the differing titles of the U.S and U.K publications of Necroscope II. tongue.gif

[Llamedos]

Cheers Tops m8,

Okay easy one for all, well aslong as you know the answers.

Name two tribes which were supplicants to the Wampyhri.

[Lady Rissa]

Well, there was the Ferengi, in more worlds than one, and most of the tribe in Turgoshiem's Sunside. There was also the tribe Karpath Mindsthrall (Invaders) came from, but I can only remember his father's name, Dinu.

Does this count??? smile.gif

[Llamedos]

Sorry LR, kept forgetting to say ya, it your go.

[Lady Rissa]

Oh yeah, its my turn now. Hmm, well, as I am in Defilers now, lets give this a go...

What was the name of the hotel that Trask & Co stayed at on the island of Kassos?

(spelling is horrible, I know) :D
