Necro Knowledge 2004

[FrostD]

Nathans mother, Nana Kiklu and his girlfreind Misha.
And as far as founding the colony, I'm pretty sure, it was a Lidesci, but not Lardis... I'm thinking Lardis's Father, or Grandfather... But I'll officially say "Father".

[sdkdmd]

Piatra was the leader.
Nana, Lissa, Misha were sheltered.

you did only ask who was sheltered, i think FrostD was close enough.

[kenny]

Fair enough, next question?

[FrostD]

This might be too easy, but...

Why are there odd marks on the walls of a lot of buildings in London? (And I do believe it was something E-branch's resident "Locator" pointed out)

[Lucky Eddie]

As previously mentioned earlier in this topic, it falls to the asker of the question to accept the answer before the next is asked :rolleyes:

Not to worry! As you decided between you FrostD / sdkdmd have it wrapped up so lets go with the above from FrostD.

PS. Rules for the quiz threads are on page one of the thread. smile.gif

[sdkdmd]

Sorry Ed, my post was to you, NOT a comformation, it was still your decision to accept the answer. smile.gif

[Lucky Eddie]

That's OK. Re-reading my post above I might have sounded a bit arsey - not my intention, sorry.

[FrostD]

Er, I appologize for posting a question before my answer was confirmed. I was excited, and when I saw two people confirm it, I falsely assumed one of them was the question poster. I didn't look and I'm sorry.

[Lucky Eddie]

FrostD, don't worry about it - we're all learning something all the time. Hope your enjoying the site. Oh and as for your question being too easy, I haven't got a clue!

[FrostD]

Hint: It hasn't happened... Yet.

[VincentAlexander]

- tries to get out another hint - What kind of marks?

[FrostD]

Well, now it's just a race to see...

Final Hint: Water marks.

[VincentAlexander]

This is a wild guess. Were those the markings that warned people to check what time it is, and to head inside their homes?

[FrostD]

Er.. no. Considering how I think this is easy, but no one is getting it... the question might have been wrong... But I'm pretty sure it's not. One more guess and I'll give it up to see if maybe I was wrong...

[sdkdmd]

i also have no clue.

[kenny]

Is it somthing to do with Lord Szwart?

[FrostD]

Ok, I guess I was mistaken, but here is the answer to my question... but I guess it was wrong.
London was sevearly flooded (E-branch series)from all the wierd weather.
I guess Kenny can pose the next question. (If thats against the rules I'm sorry but I'm embarassed enough for asking an inaplicaple question.

[kenny]

Thanks FrostD. A nice easy one i hope,(if it is my turn).Who brought up Harry after his mother was killed?

[sdkdmd]

shame on you!! ;) ;)

[kenny]

Shame on who, me,sorry but i was sort of invited to pose the next question, but if i have jumped the gun all i can do is apologise again. Should i retract the question?

[sdkdmd]

no, some how your question got up there before i press the enter key :confused:

so its shame on FrostD ;) grin.gif

[VincentAlexander]

Harry lived with uncle and aunt at Harden. grin.gif

[kenny]

I'll give you that one, my fault that i didn't ask their names.

[VincentAlexander]

Sorry...I should have been more specific. Michael Keogh and Jenny. I think... - scratches chin -

Here comes my question. See if you can get this without looking in the book. grin.gif

What is the name of the book Harry Keogh is typing in Necroscope?

[sdkdmd]

Diary of a seventeenth century rake

[VincentAlexander]

Wrong!

...

OK...it was right. tongue.gif Good job! Your turn, sdkdmd.

[sdkdmd]

how did Harry become rich ?
who did he talk to about it ?
what was that persons suggestion ?
what was harry decision ?

if can answer one, you can answer all four.

[kenny]

Looks like you've got everyone stumped on this one

[sdkdmd]

i know there's one or two out there who know the answers. lets see what the new week has for us.

[VincentAlexander]

Harry talked to "Dead Eddie." That is a wild guess. And I have no idea about the other three...lol.

[sdkdmd]

you got the right story.

[VincentAlexander]

I figured...But I haven't gotten the book yet...just read a brief snippet of what it is about. Now I wish I purchased it already...

[Helmet Head]

He became rich by robbing extremly wealthy criminal organisations, one in particular were the brothers Francezi (can't remember the correct spelling) who were in actual fact Wamphyri.

Harry himself doesn't actually know this as he had his memory altered and it is now only part of "The Lost Years"

I know he decided to squander some of it on gambling but I can't remember who he spoke to and what his final desision was as I've only ever read those shorts just the once.

[kenny]

Here goes, Harry spoke to Humph, who's suggestion was to steal the riches that were concealled in the vaults of Le Manse Maldonie. If i can remember Harry blew the place up after splunderin goff with the hidden treasures?????????????????

[sdkdmd]

Close enough "The Helm"
Time for a new question.

Pete can you fill in the blanks?

He found the money in his attic. Or what The Helm said.

He talked to his......

... suggested he forget about the .... and have some ...

He decided to go to vages.

[Helmet Head]

To his Mum

forget about his search and have some fun

[Helmet Head]

I shall return with a question but I've just got to reasearch it a little as I want to set a really hard one this time, instead of the usual bog standard questions I ask...

[Helmet Head]

Who tried to assasinate Borowitz's???

[sdkdmd]

Ustinov?

[Helmet Head]

Yup

(Bugger!!! I thought that that would take longer than that to get...)

Your turn buddy....

[sdkdmd]

How did Sir Keenan Gormley first come to know about Harry?

[VincentAlexander]

Harmon told him! Do I get a prize?

[sdkdmd]

no real prizes in this game, just memories.

your turn

[VincentAlexander]

Well guys, I am going up to Chicago for a week, so I can't give an answer, BUT, this is pretty easy. Since I won't be able to give an answer, you can all decide who is right, or gets next question. This next one is easily looked up:

13 Necroscope books. Each has a unique skull for the cover art. Which books have the skull with its mouth closed?

[Hubris]

Deadspawn, Invaders & Defilers?

I assume US covers.

[sdkdmd]

UK editions Defilers, Avengers

I would say it's your turn

[Hubris]

I'll wait for at least one other to chime in before I go.

[Hubris]

Alright, don't mean to jump the gun but I want to see this ball moving. This is an attempt to be a hard question.

What was the name of Atwei's love mate?

[ December 27, 2004, 06:03 PM: Message edited by: Hubris ]

[Helmet Head]

That's a bloody good'un, I can't beleive that I'm completely stumped.

Dam it the only way I'm gonna get this one is if I hit the books...

[kenny]

I really must start reading the necroscope from begining to end again, as trying to find the answers is getting harder. Anyway Atewi's love-mate I think,(fingers crossed) was Petais, grandson of Rogei.

[sdkdmd]

"THE HELM" STUMPED???? :confused: :confused:

[Hubris]

Nope, sorry Kenny.

[kenny]

Okay, was it Oltae. If it's not then i am completley at a loss.

[FrostD]

...Wasn't Atewi's Lovemate Nathan?

... Or fo I have the characters mixed up. She was the Thyre chick right?

[sdkdmd]

there is only one other i could think of, i know its wrong but, septais ? :confused:

[Hubris]

Good tries y'all, but wrong. Atwei was Nathan's Thyre sister.

[Lucky Eddie]

Got it! (after a serious search ;) ) Alaia.
Nice question.

[Hubris]

Yep, that be him Eddie. Your go.

[Lucky Eddie]

New year, new question...

Where was the Nightmare Zone located?

[topol_sheap]

I'm gonna say perchorsk... not sure, it's been a while!

saying that, it's been a while since I've looked at this thread ;)

[VincentAlexander]

It was at a morgue in the middle of a hospital and Victorian hospital.

[topol_sheap]

could you let me know which book, and I'll gladly read it again!

[sdkdmd]

I think the answer is in Blood Brothers right before or after Nathan's time with the Thyre.
I think!

[Lucky Eddie]

VincentAlexander - That'll do me. It was actually in a shared morgue between a police station and a hospital. Your question next.

Tops/sdkdmd - It's in The Last Aerie, about 3/4 of the way through.

[topol_sheap]

yep.... vampire world, next on the re-read list... later this year though!

[VincentAlexander]

Thankya. If you need any hints for this, I have one.

Simply, who is Vasily Agursky?

[sdkdmd]

a scientist at perchorsk

[VincentAlexander]

I said simply, so that'll do. You're up, sdkdmd!

[sdkdmd]

in a dream the dead show harry three things from his probable future.

what are they and who do they involve?

[Hubris]

Tombstones? Brenda's, Gormley's & Harry's own?

[sdkdmd]

over to you Hubris

[Hubris]

What is the full name of the Chinese E-Branch, where is it located, and who is in command?

And no, China will not work for location.

[ January 03, 2005, 01:42 PM: Message edited by: Hubris ]

[sdkdmd]

Tsi Hong / Chungking / esp-centre
.

[ January 03, 2005, 04:34 PM: Message edited by: sdkdmd ]

[Hubris]

Good work, on to you. Though I was actually looking for: People's Army of Parapsychology of China, or something like that, but can't remember the name. Anyway your go sdkdmd.

[sdkdmd]

which god of the CCD has a mention in necroscope?

i believe there is only one, if not any one will do.

[kenny]

Memory's a bit vague on this one but i'll go for Hesta The Herm.

[Exsanguinator]

I know Janos mentioned Nyralathotep in his incantations...

[sdkdmd]

Exsanguinator, on the right track, wrong god.
but if you can show where nyralathotep is mentioned its yours.

clue
the resurrection evocations of Harry and Janos.

[Helmet Head]

Wasn't it Yog Sothoth or some funky sounding one like that it may even of been Yibb Tstil :confused: (pronounce them!!! I can't even spell them...)

[sdkdmd]

that would be it, Mr Yog Sothoth

[Hubris]

Must be thinkn' up a good'un

[Exsanguinator]

Originally posted by sdkdmd:

i believe there is only one, if not any one will do. I mentioned one - or we not counting Nyra...tep 'cause in the Crow novels Brian relagated him to a personification of CCD telepathy? Or were you refering to just just Nec1 in which case forgive my pedantry, I'm bored ;)

[Helmet Head]

I shal return with a good-un

[Helmet Head]

On which island did Janos deposit a stash of stolen treasure?????

[DC 1]

Treasure Island smile.gif

[Hubris]

A bit of a long shot but: Nicosia Cyprus? Or some such.

[Lucky Eddie]

Halki?

[Helmet Head]

And Eddie's the lucky one this time...

Your turn...

[Miss Whammy]

Originally posted by The Helm:

I know your refering to the mental institute he committed himself to in The Lost Years book 2, and I know Houdini helped him escape but I can't for life of me remeber the name of it...

I'm going to take a wild swipe at it as it's really starting to bug me, I'm going to say St Mungo's...

Now I don't know why I've said that as I beleive it to be a place from a completely different book/film/TV prog, but it's my best guess.... Well I finally finish reading 9 pages of some really excellent questions and somthing was bothering me about this question/answer, I had to go find out and so here is what I found, just incase anyone is interested (I hope this was allowed grin.gif ) ....
A name wasn't given that I could find but he also had a few days in a swiss hospital after speeking with Mesmer although he did not 'go' there to recover he was taken (by ambo i assume)there for 3 days from the cemetary ... i just remembered that he used the alias John Smith and grabbed his clothes and left out a window (Chapter Mesmerism -pg 330). The sanitarium was in the end of the very next chapter after 'visiting' with Nostrdamus.... sorry

[Lucky Eddie]

Miss Whammy - Nice eye for detail. Sorry to say that I couldn't be bothered to read over all the old questions, I'm a lazy so and so smile.gif

Next question (v easy one):

Who was the 'Mind Flea'?

[Jade Rose]

I'm not sure this is correct, it's more of an educated guess becaue I don't have my books on hand to go reference them. So I'm thinking it was either Malinari or Faethor.

[Hubris]

Paxton

[Lucky Eddie]

Yeah, it's Paxton (the nasty little weasel!). You're on Hubris...

[Hubris]

That was something that always stuck with me.

Two Parter:
In what battle did Karl Drakul meet his ultimate fate by the hands of Radu? And in what year?

[ January 14, 2005, 04:29 PM: Message edited by: Hubris ]

[sdkdmd]

Ain Jalut in 1260

[Hubris]

Dang, that was fast sdkdmd. I guess it wasn't as hard as I was hoping. Your go man.

[sdkdmd]

maybe I just have all the answers tongue.gif ;)

or maybe I just got lucky.

[sdkdmd]

who was the boss of the gang of car thieves?
who was his brother?
what does thier initials stand for?

[Helmet Head]

AC was the mad werewolf wannabe boss and his initials stood for Arthur Conan, as in Doyle the creator of Sherlock Holmes.

His brother was ??? RL (I think) and his initials stood for Robert Louis as in Stephenson the creator of classics like Treasure Island.

This is all from memory and is a little sketchy in the old grey matter so if I'm wrong...well just shoot me...(not literally of course ;) )

[Helmet Head]

Miss Whammy if you look just after my stab at an answer you'll see that below it the answers are revealed.

The Sanatorium Harry committed himself to was Oakdene (very apt I might ad) and St Mungo's was the magical hospital from the Harry Potter books, as pointed out by if memory serves That Bloody Lady ;) .
And I was just very confused when trying to answer that particular question.

[sdkdmd]

last name? Jamieson

no shooting today, your turn.

[Helmet Head]

What was the name of the bobby investigating the grissly murder of a rapist?

And who was it that despatched of him in a most grusome way when he started getting to close to the truth?

[Hubris]

Something or other Ianson? And good ole Angus Mcgowen.

[Hubris]

George

[sdkdmd]

George Ianson / bobby
was it BJ Mirlu her self that dispatched of him in a most grusome way

[Helmet Head]

Hubris has got it

Twas indeed Inspector George Ianson who was investigating the grizzly murder of a rapist.
And little old Angus McGowen who did away with him by eating him slowly over a few weeks while he was still alive...

Your turn dude...

[Hubris]

What Romanian assisted Alec Kyle & Carl Quint in finding a tomb in the Cruciform Hills?

[Jade Rose]

I'm here the question just confuses me is all.... The only thing it makes me think of is that Laudislu Grisci(spelling's probley wrong there was obsessed with vampires, so he wasn't really the keeper of anything...

[sdkdmd]

might you be talking about Agursky keeper of the
thing in the tank?

[sdkdmd]

[ January 21, 2005, 06:33 AM: Message edited by: sdkdmd ]

[Jade Rose]

What's the drinking comment for SD, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Unless you're directing it at me, and I forgot about that.(Really bad since I just read that bit today!)

[skinters]

over to you sdkdmd....the keeper was agursky ,and his addiction was the drink ..... if i can answer 1 in every 50 questions ill be a happy man ha haaa

[ January 21, 2005, 07:48 AM: Message edited by: skinters ]

[Jade Rose]

All right, I get it. Sorry, just didn't follow your train of thought. Can I just blame my ignorance on the fact that I haven't read the books in a good three years, and I only just began re-reading them.

[skinters]

naaaa dont be sorry , no big deal your far from ignorant .....im halfway through necro III the source ,and when i realised (and a bit shocked ) that id got 1 of the lads questions right, i just asked 1 from the page i was reading and it was about the keeper agursky who had turned to drink coz of what he had to look after

[DC 1]

I thought he was offering to buy us all a drink at the next Con smile.gif

[skinters]
