Necro Knowledge 2004

[Nathan]

With all the newer faces around I thought I'd revive this old game. Here are the rules for those who haven't played...

If you are able to answer a standing question correctly and are then confirmed by the asker, it is then your turn to ask the next question.
Please wait to be confirmed just in case your answer is not complete enough for the asker. (Sometimes answers can be confirmed by others if asker is gone for more than a day or so.)

This thread is for Necroscope questions only.

There is also a thread for 'Lumlian knowledge' that you can play along with in the Other Novels/Short Stories forum (http://www.brianlumley.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=1).

If you need to look up an answer in the books, go right ahead. But it's more fun if you don't...

First question...

Name Karl the Crag's ambitious female thrall...

Am I correct? Huh? Huh? Huh? grin.gif

[Nathan]

You are not a new face but you are correct sir!

Take it away! smile.gif

[Canker]

Name the Wamphryi Lord that "made" Shaithis. No need to remember whether he was an "eggsire" or not. Just the name of the individual that turned Shaithis into a Wamphryi Lord.

[The Bloody Lady]

Wasnt it Shaitan??!!

[Canker]

Nope! grin.gif ;)
Shaitan was Shaithis's ancestor but there were many in between.
Would you like a hint?????? grin.gif

[The Bloody Lady]

oh damn you're right!!!!, yeah go on, giz a hint!

[Canker]

Ok. grin.gif
The one I speak of is talked about in Deadspawn!
I believe the section of the book that you should look through is where Shaithis and Shaitan are preparing ....and heading out.... for their return trip to Starside. ;)
Look there and you will find him named. grin.gif

[Nathan]

Uh, Shaigag? Shaiman? Shaithorg?

Can't. Quite. Remember.

grin.gif

[Nathan]

Okay, fine, you had your chance! tongue.gif

Shaidar Shaigispawn.

[Canker]

What is this a two player game? ;) tongue.gif grin.gif

Over to you Nathan!

[Nathan]

I guess it is!

I'll ask any easy one so maybe someone else can get it. tongue.gif

If Darcy Clarke's talent keeps him from danger, how is it that he is dead?

[Canker]

MMMMHHHFFMMMMFFTTMMM!!!!!!

(coving my mouth with my hands so someone else will answer.) ;)

[ March 12, 2004, 02:25 PM: Message edited by: Canker ]

[Sophie]

He died because Harry, without knowing while he was tampering with Darcy's mind, triggered off mind smog aura around Darcy and disabled his gaurdian angel, so that nobody could detect that he had been talking to harry, and so noone could read his mind and find information to use against him.

I'm having to be brief as I'm going out, but I think that sums it up, later peeps,

Sophie

[Nathan]

Brief? HA! I'd've been fine with "Harry f**ked up his talent."

!!!

Your go, Sophie. smile.gif

[Sophie]

ok, took me a few days to think of one as this is quite difficult to come up with.

How many Wamphryi lords/ladies where there who were banished by Shaitan through to the Romanian gate, and what where there names?

blush.gif

[Canker]

1.) Radu Lykan
2.) Nonari the Gross
3.) The Dracul brothers

Did I miss any? :confused: Was that all of them? :confused: I cannot remember! :mad:

[Canker]

Um............... am I correct? :confused:

[Nathan]

I saw her in here yesterday, Canker... thought sure she'd confirm this for you.

But since she didn't, I will. It seems like there were more but they weren't specifically named as far as I can remember...

Take it away...

Yeah it's correct, there was one or two more, but as Nathan said it was very vague on who they were, these were the main ones, ask away! Sorry again for the longish wait! :(

[Canker]

Easy one here.....
Faethor was Thibor's and Janos's "father"....

Who was Faethor's Wamphryi father? grin.gif ;)

[Helmet Head]

Waldamer Ferenzig...

Completely spelt wrong I'm sure, but am I right???

[Canker]

Correct!
The Helm has the helm. grin.gif ;)

[Helmet Head]

In NecroscopeII Wamphyri Alec Kyle joins forces with the opposition, but who was the other member of I.N.T.E.S.P. that accompanied him on that fateful trip???

[Silver]

Would that be Carl Quint?

[sistermoon]

Jordan?

[Nathan]

I'll guess Ian Goodfly.

grin.gif

[Helmet Head]

The Lady Silver has it, take it away girly...

[Silver]

OK guys, what was the name of the vamp ridden ship?

[sistermoon]

The Evening Star?

[Silver]

Well done sister, your turn

[sistermoon]

Ok,where is Zek's resting place?

[Lady Rissa]

She died at the Refuge, but she "travels" to the island she & Jazz lived on, Zakinthos (spelling?).

[sistermoon]

I like the way you put that. You're turn.

[Lady Rissa]

Siggi Dam got revenge on Turkur Tzonov in an interesting way. What did she do?

[Helmet Head]

If I'm not mistaken didn't she have him cocooned and let the spiders that inhabit Starsides Aeries lay there eggs inside him so that he could have the pleasure of feeling them eat him from the inside out???

[Lady Rissa]

Ahhh, correct. Hell hath no fury, and all that.

Over to you Helm.

[Helmet Head]

Lexandru Zirescu
Ion Zirescu
Rakhi Ferenczy
Lagula Ferenczy
???? ??????
????? ???????

What was there crime and who are the two missing cohorts???

[Canker]

Their crime was that they raped and murdered Radu Lykan's sister Magda (I believe her name was) before he became a Wamphryi.

Not sure of the exact other two.

Anyone able to remeber the other two people? I haven't looked and am willing to give up the next question to the correct answer. grin.gif

[ April 30, 2004, 09:36 AM: Message edited by: Canker ]

[Silver]

Could be wrong but wasn't it the Drakul bothers? I can't remembe their first names

[Helmet Head]

Nah it wern't the Drakul brothers Karl and Egon, these two were not brothers just lackies and hanger-ons

[Helmet Head]

Well it looks like I'm going to have to give this one to Canker as he got the crime right, as for the two missing offenders there names were Kherl Fumari and Arlek Bargosi.

Take it away Canker...

[Canker]

Hmmm........... Let's see if I can get this right. *L* ;)
Radu became Wamphryi and journeyed to the spires on Starside.
An established Wamphryi Lord sent his men to investigate this new arrival. Radu held this "investigator" within his own spire until the vampire would tell him all there was to know of the Wamphryi.
Name the infuriated Lord who demanded the return of his vampire.

grin.gif grin.gif


Edit- Come on people! This one was easy! Let's keep this thread moving grin.gif

[ May 14, 2004, 08:04 AM: Message edited by: Canker ]

[hocopepa]

i believe it was Hengor Hagi, called the Gust

[Canker]

That is quite Correct! grin.gif grin.gif
Over to you for your question. smile.gif

[hocopepa]

We all know what happened to Korath Mindsthrall, but the Mind brought another lieutenant out of Starside, what was his name and his fate?

[ May 14, 2004, 01:38 PM: Message edited by: hocopepa ]

[sdkdmd]

Was it Demetrakis that the Mind turn into a salad????

[hocopepa]

i'll accept that, mushroom salad, yumm...

your turn

[sdkdmd]

Who was it that befriended Zek and helped in the defense of The Dweller's Garden and what was the eventual fate of that character?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- is this question wrong,is it to hard or is no one playing any more???

[ June 08, 2004, 07:00 PM: Message edited by: sdkdmd ]

[Canker]

Which friend?
Zek had Jazz, and the Lady Karen not to mention her friend "wolf".

I'm thinking that you're talking about the Lady Karen?
She was a Mother Vampire and staged her death but eventually died with a hand grenade locked between her and Shaithas in a lip lock! grin.gif

[sdkdmd]

Your thinking is right Canker, I was hoping no one would think it was Jazz and I forgot all about wolf.[how could I blush.gif ]

[Canker]

Upon arriving in "Olden Starside", Wratha and her 5 companions were looking down upon a Traveller settlement?

Can you tell me what the name of that settlement was?

[Helmet Head]

Was it Twin Fords???

It rings a bell in my dusty old brain, and I wanted to just have a stab at it without resorting to looking it up so that I can feel all smug with myself incase I got it right.

[Canker]

YOu are correct Helm! Over to you once again!

[Helmet Head]

grin.gif It's kinda sad how recalling trivial bits of info makes me happy, maybe I need to get out more!!! grin.gif

Right let's see...OK which desert features at the begining of the E-Branch Triology???

[Canker]

I forget the desert name....... wasn't it in Australia?

[sdkdmd]

Was it the Gibson Desert???

[Helmet Head]

Twas indeed the Gibson Desert in Australia, over to you sdkdmd...

[sdkdmd]

Who was Jack Black?

What happen to him?

What was the favor he asked of Harry?

[Helmet Head]

Been wracking my brains on this one for ages as it just didn't ring a bell, but I've just had a wave of inspiration while staring at the name!!!

Is his name ironic and do you have had to of read Harry Keogh And Other Weird Hero's to get this one???

Not sure if my hunch is right but I'm on my way home now and shall look up a certain short story and see if I'm right.

[sdkdmd]

You are on the right track. grin.gif

[Helmet Head]

Dam I forgot to look it up...

Right I'll take blind stab at it anyway...Wasn't he the guy in Vegas who used to fixed the slot machines but was also addicted to them as he had a knack of winning (was telekenetic but never new) and his lucky streaks led him to his eventual and untimely death.

His request of Harry was could he have just one more tilt at the one armed bandits for old time sake.

[sdkdmd]

Right story, but your talking about "DEAD EDDY"

Harry meets Jack Black in a grave yard before he goes into Vegas.

[Helmet Head]

Oh Yeahhhhh I remember, and he asks for a house chip to be pushed into the top soil so that he can maybe feel it close to him...

[sdkdmd]

THAT IT "THE HELM"

Your turn.

By the way,does anyone else play this game?


:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

[Silver]

Sdkdmd, I usually look in here and occasionally offer an answer but I havn't been around lately.

[Helmet Head]

Can you name the German fiend Jake Cutter took revenge upon with some delicately placed explosives????

[sdkdmd]

I think I have an answer for you,but I'm going to give it a few more days.

[Lord Vormulac]

Gah! I know this one! I just started re-reading the E-Branch series and recently finished Defilers. Argh! Can't think of his name!

[Mrs Canker]

HI ,I AM NEW TO THIS ,FIRST TIME IN HERE,ITS BEEN ABOUT 2 1/2 YEARS SINCE I READ DEFILRES I THINK ANSWER IS CASTELLANO.I REMEMBER JAKE BLOWING UP HIS PLACES :confused:

[Rixy]

Luckily I've just read this bit. His name was Wilhelm "Willie" Stuker.

[Helmet Head]

Well done Rixy, over to you...

[Rixy]

What was the name of the Russian sent to Castellano's undercover, who met a nasty end but got his revenge helping Jake?

[sdkdmd]

Was it Georgi Grusev?

[Rixy]

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner. Over to you sdkdmd.

Cheers

[sdkdmd]

ok easy one.

What was the singificance of Harry's old hair brush?

[Silver]

I think David Chung used it to locate Harry and when Nathan came into this world it came alive again for him.

[sdkdmd]

Actually,Chung could tell if harry was dead or alive.

But I think we still have a winner.

Take it away Silver.

[Silver]

Thanks sdkdmd

What was the name of the first Thyre dwelling that Nathan visited?

[sdkdmd]

No one has an answer?
OK!
Place under the yellow cliffs?

[Silver]

You got it!

[sdkdmd]

What was the name of the hospital that Harry spent some time in to recuperate?

[sdkdmd]

Lets keep this thread going.

[Helmet Head]

This one is a bit of a doozy as I just can't recall the hospital at all...

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....

[sdkdmd]

One of the same [getting] old people answering the question. Happy Birthday again.feeling better?

Your right about every thing except for the answer. Your turn anyway.a birthday gift.

If you look at your book shelf at Brian other works you will see the answer.Assuming you have a collection. tongue.gif

[Helmet Head]

Thankyou Tvmorbid now I know why that particular name kept popping to the front of my addled brain, and thankyou SDKDMD for the let off.

But it's still bugging me and even more so now that you said that the very anawer may well be staring me in the face......

I shall return with a good question as soon as I know the real answer to this one.

[DC 1]

[Helmet Head]

Oakdene Sanatorium.......OAKDENE SANATORIUM

[sdkdmd]

BINGO........BINGO

[Tvmorbid]

C'mon sdkdmd, next question! I wanna see if I can get one!

[sdkdmd]

It's not my turn, it's "The Helm's" turn.
And we are looking for a good one.

Welcome to this thread Tvmorbid,
I hope you enjoy and stick with it, we need more involvement with this. :cool:

[Helmet Head]

Patitence little one's I'm trying to come up with a real good-un here...

[Helmet Head]

What was the last vow Harry Keogh made, and what promted it??????

[Silver]

Ohh that is a good one. I'll have to think about it for a while!

[sdkdmd]

I agree this is a good one.

[Tvmorbid]

Can I have a clue please Bob? What book is it from?

[Helmet Head]

It would be far to easy to give you all a clue especially If I was to give you which book it's from.

If knowbody has got it by tommorow I'll throw in a clue then...TTFN

[Silver]

OK, having though I'll take a guess, did he vow to get Shathis because of his treatment to the Lady Karen?

[Helmet Head]

Naaahhhhhhh that wern't it, your in the right sort of area though (not the type of vow but time period)

It's buried somewhere in that time period (being the last few weeks of HK) and as only 3 of Brian's books lap into that period your search should be narrowed down, plus you can discount Blood Brothers as it's from Lardis Lidesci's point of view....

But remember it's not a long story... ;)

[ August 21, 2004, 05:26 AM: Message edited by: The Helm ]

[sdkdmd]

Was it a vow NOT TO DO something again,rather then a vow TO DO something??

[DC 1]

He would never more play the Necromancer, Never!

[Helmet Head]

Yup that's the one DC me lado, it's his vow at the end of the short story resurection brought on by the nightmare he has about bringing his mother back from the dead.

Over to you Sonny Jim...

[DC 1]

Who built Palataki and what was it's original purpose?

[sdkdmd]

Palataki was built by the Germans for mining ?

[DC 1]

Yup.

Your go M8

[sdkdmd]

What was Keenan Gormley's security password and to what did it open?

Both answers please.

[Helmet Head]

Oooohhh I think I might have to avoid this question, it's fraught with extreme time consuming danger!!!

I alomost picked Necroscope up last night which would of been extremely bad as I would of had to of read them all again, and this question is goading me into picking up the dam thing and read the first chapter or so in search of this particular answer, which will then lead to me re-reading the whole lot again...

[ August 24, 2004, 02:29 AM: Message edited by: The Helm ]

[DC 1]

OPEN SESAME and it opened his desk drawer.

[sdkdmd]

You got it DC.

[DC 1]

What were Harry's grandparents first names (The Keogh side that is)

[sdkdmd]

soon as I get home from work i'll answer this question, assuming no one else answers it. tongue.gif :cool:

[sdkdmd]

Sean and Natasha?

[DC 1]

Is the correct answer!

[sdkdmd]

Name the six Wamphyri who took over Karenstack.

The answer lays with-in.

[Helmet Head]

Wratha's raiders are;

Wratha The Risen

Vasagi The Suck

Canker Cainson

Wran & Spiro Killglance

Gorvi The Guile

[sdkdmd]

OK THE HELM where you get the answer? :rolleyes:

From with-in? [a very recent post?]

[Helmet Head]

With a question that easy I had no need to snoop around the recent post in question, right I'm going to try and come up with a real good-un...

I shall return...

[sdkdmd]

:( :( WOW!!! I thought it was a good question. ;) ;)

[ August 28, 2004, 02:56 PM: Message edited by: sdkdmd ]

[Helmet Head]

It was good question mate, but I think the vampire world is a lot of peoples fave part of the series and those particular names just spring to mind instantly (I have read them seven times after all)

[sdkdmd]

Where you at "THE HELM" I need my fix. :(

[Botch the Mad]

yes, come on HELM, dazzle us. ;)

[Helmet Head]

Name every single member of the stake out team that was stationed down at Harkley house in Wamphyri????

[Botch the Mad]

ooooh. good one.

[DC 1]

Ben Trask, Ken Layard, Trevor Jordan, Harvey Newton, Simon(?) Gower, Guy Roberts.

I think thats the lot but it's been a while since I last read this book

[sdkdmd]

not fair, time zone difference.

[Helmet Head]

I feel all mean now as I'm going to be a little perdantic over this one, all of the above were part of the strike team but not all of them were on the stake-out plus 2 people are missing.

Admittidly they were never part of the strike team but there was a reason for that....

[Tvmorbid]

Well Darcy Clarke was supposed to be there but his talent tricked him into not going, but I can't think of the other

[sdkdmd]

OK,I'm not sure about this, but here it goes.
Jorden, Keen, Roberts, Gower, Layard and Clarke,
I think his talent kept him from the raid,not from the stake-out.

[Helmet Head]

Is the correct answer, Darcy got the runs when he was supposed to be on watch duty and poor Peter Keene ended up as a victim of Yulian and Vlad.

Darcy never went on the strike team to Harkley because Guy Roberts sent him up north to watch over Brenda and Harry jnr as he didn't think Darcy was in the right frame of mind as he felt guilty for Peter's death as he thought he should of known that his dioreah was his talent working.

Over to you.....

[sdkdmd]

Name all the heads of e-branch, British, Soviet and Chinese. [9 total]

[Helmet Head]

Intesp- Gormley / Kyle / Clarke / Trask

Soviet E-branch - Borrowitz / Dragonasi / Krackovitch / Gurenko / Bloke in the Source based down at pertrosk ARGGGHH can't remember his bloody name / Tusnov (sorry for any misspelt names and places, lets be honest I can't even pronounce the names properly let alone spell them)

Chinese - ????????? aint got a bloody clue

(I suppose I'll have to look up the missing 2)

[sdkdmd]

THE HELM,
you are missing,
one British.
one Soviet, there were three, you have two right.
one Chinese.

I'm not 100% sure if I missed any Soviet, but I don't think so

Is Bloke a name or a term?

[Helmet Head]

Well the two I've got missing from the list as far as I know are Major Chingiz Khuv which came to me last night, and lastly Tsi Hong which admittidly I had to look up in the companion.

As for the Brit ones there all correct but Clarke had two stints in charge and in between was that traitor who had the mind shield, now what was his name.....?????? arrrrggghhh bugger

[Helmet Head]

All of the Soviet ones I've mentioned had a stint in charge, Borrowitz obviously, Krakovitch during Wamphyri and Gurenko the shriveled little man had charge for a very brief spell near the end of the book but Harry or rather Faethor soon put him in his place.

Khuv was in charge during the Source, Dragonasi faked Borrowitz's will and he took charge for a brief time towards the end of Necroscope and lastly Tsuznov was the head during the Vampire world trilogy.

[sdkdmd]

I'm going to bring your PHD in necroknowledge when I come to Torquay.

your turn

[ September 12, 2004, 07:08 AM: Message edited by: sdkdmd ]

[Helmet Head]

Oi I forgot about that, I want my PHD matey...

I've left this hanging far to long, time for a question me thinks...

In Deadspeak what was the name of the Greek Drug dealers boat that Lazaridies blows up???

[Lady Louise]

The Samothraki ?

[Silver]

Wow, you were pretty quick there LaLo!

[sdkdmd]

Yes, that was pretty quick.

Now lets hope The Helm don't keep us hanging to long again, which is why he forfeited that PHD.

[DC 1]

Hopefully I was right so to move on I will post another question. Pete will soon tell us if I was wrong.

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

[sdkdmd]

Oh,I forgot about this.
I will get back to you.

[sdkdmd]

The only submarine that I could come up with was the Komsomolets,which sank due to a fire at a early time.
Aliyev was in charge of dumping the old subs at Rockall Deep.
And I know they came across this prison sub thru Chunges ability.

[DC 1]

That be the one then innit.

Over to you

[sdkdmd]

Which Lady of the Wamphyri used garlic to her advantage?

[Helmet Head]

Wratha....

And yes LALO you were right, theres no point in hanging around waiting for me to confirm the answers as I can be missing for days.

your turn pete.

we miss you Pete :(

[kenny]

This is my first posting as i'm newly bitten,who did Jake cutter rescue in the London underground?

[sdkdmd]

Welcome to the board Kenny.

For a proper welcome go to the gate and say hi.

There are also some rules to the knowledge threasds.go to the beginning of the thread for them. :cool:

[Nathan]

Yeah, thanks for keepin' things straight in my absence, sdkdmd. smile.gif Haven't had much time to play my own game lately, just trusting things to keep goin' on their own... and the help of Tom, of course. tongue.gif

The rules are easy and few, kenny. Check 'em out and jump on in! Welcome!

CLICK HERE (http://www.brianlumley.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=24;t=000155;p=1) if you haven't figured out how to get to page one yet. :cool: I certainly remember when it was all new to me! tongue.gif

Sorry dudes been stuck in work world and have just grabbed a ten minute window so that I could catch up with the board.

Kenny's question is a gudd'un so we'll stick with it,

Who did Jake Cutter rescue from subteranean London???

(And yes I'm being very lazy grin.gif )

[Rixy]

Millicent Cleary, I think thats how you spell it

[kenny]

Yep, that's who it was Millicent Cleary (what happens know?)

[kenny]

I meant now?

[sdkdmd]

It's Rixy's turn.
Go to "the retreat" vote on new rules. smile.gif

[sistermoon]

this is so much fun!

[Hubris]

What happened to Rixy? :(

[sdkdmd]

5:28 today, a new rule or two, that's if Tops not slacking.

[topol_sheap]

Firstly I resent the slacker comment... on to business.

new RULES to be imposed as of now.

As any of you who have access to the retreat will know, I ran a poll of how we shoudl take the quizzes forward (because of people not coming back to set another question or leaving it too long, and the thread dies).

Well the new rules are you have three days from when the answer is correct to post another question, otherwise the person who asked the question will take the role for a second time.

You get the jist - this will be posted in other quiz threads...

Oh, and for those of you who want access to the non-lumley areas, which include off topic discussion (the retreat), and other items of interest (in the readonly settlement). You can subscribe to the board and you get full posting rights for these areas ;) See board info (http://www.brianlumley.com/interact/mb.html) for more...

[ October 26, 2004, 06:20 PM: Message edited by: Tops ]

[sdkdmd]

????? Sorry :(

[topol_sheap]

was just kidding ;)

[Hubris]

Does the same three day rule apply for the confirming of an answer?

[topol_sheap]

this should only stand when the answer is proven to be correct... well, maybe it's time for another quiz, or perhaps we just give it the 3 day thing...

Cheers,

Tops

[sdkdmd]

ME thinks The 3 days should stand for asking a question & comfirming an answer then revert back to anyone.
To revert back to the last person who asked a question would mean we have to wait 3 more days for that person to ask a question???
With anyone, i think it would open it up for more people to have a chance to post a question which in turn would keep it moving better.
Me thinks.

[topol_sheap]

no. I think if someone else genuinely knows the answer, then it can be corrected, otherwise it should go to the person who last got it wrong, otherwise we end up with a free-for-all, which will be damned difficult to keep on topic.

[John & Paul]

What were we talking about again? lolol

[Helmet Head]

I am so confused right now,

Let me get this straight...you get three days to answer a question...wait scratch that, reverse it...you get three days to ask a question after it's been confirmed by someone that you answered the last question correctly, then the person who asksed the question that you got right but you never came back with your own question then has to ask another question cos you didn't ask a new question??? :confused:

To many questions :confused:

Right well if the Penguin aint gonna ask one then I beleive it's Rixy's turn, come on fella ask us a question...

[sdkdmd]

Better you then me "The Helm". i didn't want to be the one to sound so :confused: :confused:

I know the penquin wont ask one because he can't write.

Rexy...

[sdkdmd]

OK Tops, lets get this thing moving, three days are up, whos turn is it? smile.gif :cool: grin.gif

[Helmet Head]

Right as Rixy didn't come back I beleive due to Top's new rules that I have to ask a new question as I set the one that Rixy got right.

Ok here goes (feel free to jump in if I'm getting ahead of myself)

Where has Rixy gone???? (Just kidding ;) )

Can you name the three companions that set off to find themselves a creepy castle in Transylvania and ended up with something thay didn't expect???

[sdkdmd]

I think Rixy was one of them

[kenny]

Hope this is on the right track, was it Krakovitch,Quint and Gulharov who were sent to the Carpathians But were followed by KGB agent? Dolgikh who killed the three of them but they got their revenge when Harry had called them up from the ''dead''

[topol_sheap]

Hey, they're not my new rules, I just proposed them ;) You guys voted them in!

[Helmet Head]

Right, Kenny good answer but I'm afraid it's wrong I'd give you a clue but then it would be way to easy.

IV ;)

[DC 1]

George Vulpe, Seth Armstrong and Randy Laverne

[Helmet Head]

Correct my man, over to you but don't take to long or I'll av to ask another...

[Rixy]

Sorry guys, I got sidelined and completly forgot.

I'll punish myself.

[DC 1]

[DC 1]

Spot on.

Do you want to try the Lumlian question as well?

[sdkdmd]

VERY EASY ONE, maybe it will entice others to answer a question.

Who was the first wamphyri you meet in the necroscope books?

DC, i don't know the Lumlian one. I don't even know where to look.
Titus Crow, my lease knowledgable subject. :(

[kenny]

Was it Thibor. Who was Dragosani's father?

[sdkdmd]

your on Kenny smile.gif

[kenny]

OK try this one. Before he was known as Harry Keogh what was Harry's surname?

[sdkdmd]

Snaith

[kenny]

Too easy, eh??

[sdkdmd]

who was the first person that Jake killed in his revenge for the rape of Natasha.


Kenny,i think if you make them to hard a lot of people won't bother.

[kenny]

Jean Daniel.


Thought you said to make them easy.

[Deanmented]

Jean Daniel

[sdkdmd]

sorry Deanmented, Kenny was first. smile.gif

i was just looking for an easy one Kenny ;)

any way its your turn

[kenny]

OK, a real easy one. Where was the Pleasure Dome built and who built it?

[Lucky Eddie]

Malinari built it in the Macpherson mountain range (yes I had to look that bit up;)) in Australia.

[kenny]

You got the mountain range spot on, but it was the name of the place where the Pleasure Dome was built. Malinari took over possession of it from the person who actually built it.

[Lucky Eddie]

Damn, you got me. OK - Xanadu and it was originally Jethro Manchester's before he became Malinari's.

[kenny]

YES. Now how about a question from you?(Oh and make it an easy one).


Any other Lumlians out there tonight?

[sdkdmd]

i'm here, i'm alllways here, watching... waiting... :eek:


for the next question. tongue.gif

[sdkdmd]

there's also a question on lumlian knowledge.
you guys should give it a try.
other novels/short stories

[Lucky Eddie]

'Who' caused the failsafe at Perchorsk to be activated ending Vasily Agursky reign there?

[kenny]

Viktor Luchov pushed the button.

[Lucky Eddie]

Yes, but whose return prompted him to do so?

[sdkdmd]

something coming through the gate.

vyotsky

[Lucky Eddie]

sdkdmd that's right - what was left of Karl Vyotsky. Your go.

[ November 21, 2004, 12:11 PM: Message edited by: Lucky Eddie ]

[sdkdmd]

what was the warning from Max Batu and in what way was it related to Dragosani death?

[Lucky Eddie]

The warning was that you should never use the evil eye against the dead as they can't die again. Dragosani accidentally did this and had the mental blow bounced back at him.

[sdkdmd]

not what i was looking for but good enough.

"never curse the dead,for the dead can't die
twice"

Dragosani was killed by the dead.

[Lucky Eddie]

Next:

Who was Marilena and what was her talent?

[Helmet Head]

Marilena was a Gypsy girl who had a gammy hand, Faethor fell in love with her and spawned Janos and her talent was Oniromancy (slightly misspelt so I'll just say that it was reading the future)

[Lucky Eddie]

That's right. You're on.

[Helmet Head]

What was different and un-usual about Lord Vormulac un-sleeps eyes???

[Hubris]

They were feral yellow with specs of red.

[Helmet Head]

I'm gonna give you that Hubris, although it is completely back to front.

He had flecks of gold/yellow in his eyes

Anyhooooo your turn boy-oh, we have been very bad and you must quiz us....

[Hubris]

It's a lot harder to come up with a question than one might think.

Alright, here's an easy one since this is my first. What descendent of Gengis Kahn was involved with an E-Branch?

[DC 1]

Was that Max Batu?

[sdkdmd]

i would have to say that your right DC, even though Batu only claimed to be a descendent

[Hubris]

Yep, your go DC, sorry for the delay. Thanksgiving and all. For y'all in the states.

[DC 1]

What is the English name for VAVARA.

[VincentAlexander]

This one is difficult...even looking through the books I couldn't find. My thoughts of Vavara are muddled. I remember she didn't like being called "Lady," but that doesn't help us at all. A hint maybe...please?

[FrostD]

Even her nuns called her Vavara.... I don't get it. It means "Stranger" translated straight from Greek... but other than that I've got nothing.

[DC 1]

It is a name. If you look through some of the other topics and study the board members names, you may get a clue.

Trying to do a direct translation will not work. A lot of Greek names will translate into summit strange but will have an English name associated it

[FrostD]

Um, I may be breaking a rule here, but I'm just gonna guess. Vivian?

I only guess because in my frustration I reread Defilers.... nothing. I can't believe I overlooked it. Then again, I was rushing.

[DC 1]

Ok. Look at the dedication in Defilers

[Hubris]

As I don't have Defilers here in front of me, and no real idea, I'll take a guess from your original clue.

It isn't Silky is it?

It's a long shot I know.........but oh well.

[ December 01, 2004, 12:23 PM: Message edited by: Hubris ]

[VincentAlexander]

Barbara Ann

[Hubris]

Alright that was a bad guess I admit.

[DC 1]

Ah Hubris. You were so close.

It is Barbara. so I guess I will have to let VincentAlexander take the stage on this

[VincentAlexander]

Thankyou much. It was pretty close. I was just lucky enough to have all of the Necroscope books on my bookshelf, so I looked up the dedication part. But now...for my question...I hope it is good.


What is the name of Lady Karen's "underling" who asks to be the aerie's warlord and is later banished into the hell-lands?

[sdkdmd]

corlis

[VincentAlexander]

Ding Ding! On to sdkdmd!

[sdkdmd]

"Men should never try to read the future.

finish the quote and who said it. easy?

what book ia it from?

[kenny]

(Men should never try to read the future)For it is a devious thing. Harry Keogh. Necroscope IV Deadspeak.
Fingers crossed.

[sdkdmd]

you had fingers and toes crossed, didn't you?

next question.

[kenny]

You better beleive it. Now for the question. Who was Karpath's master?

[sdkdmd]

that would be....Maglore.

[kenny]

Correct,your turn.

[sdkdmd]

who was Faethors blood son and what was his mothers name?

[Lucky Eddie]

Janos was his blood son and his mother was Marilena.

[VincentAlexander]

Janos Ferenczy. Mother was Marilena Zirra.

[VincentAlexander]

Crap....I didn't see Eddie's post. lol...I feel stupid now. Oh....he posted 1 minute before me....darnit!

[ December 04, 2004, 04:01 PM: Message edited by: VincentAlexander ]

[sdkdmd]

that why they call him lucky,i guess.
it also makes it his turn.

[Lucky Eddie]

Nah, they call me that for my poor timing and my ability to p-off people who can cause me grief! grin.gif

Anyway, next question:

Who sheltered from the Wamphyri at the leper colony? And for a bonus: Who founded the colony?

[VincentAlexander]

I thought that was Nestor and Lardis Lidesci founded it. But do you say sheltered from the Wamphyri as in, hid from them, or...? Oh well...that is my ten cents worth.

[Lucky Eddie]

Nope, 'fraid not. And yes, I do mean sheltered as in hid.

[kenny]

Uruk Piatra was sheltered in the leper colony, and Lardis Lidesci found it.
