Necroscope Knowledge 2005

[skinters]

do you continue to argue a point to distract from answering your question ? ;) (shit im starting to talk WAMPHYRI!)

right knowing you this is a right devious one grin.gif
so youve forced my hand to give a devious answer.

faethor,coz he was banished to the mobius continuum
to whirl forever on the winds of eternity ....maybe making him the LAST???

[sdkdmd]

skinters, did you know that The Helm earn his PHD in necroknowledge, i just forgot to give it to him. so really we should be calling him "Professor Helm" ;)

[Hubris]

Luigi Castellano?

[Helmet Head]

Faethor died way back in world war 2 during a bombing raid that accidently(???)went astray.

Hubris you've got the right answer, your go matey...

[Hubris]

Give me a bit...running out of ideas.

[Hubris]

Who was the former historian "dragon?"

[kenny]

I might be going off on the wrong tangent, or perhaps i'm reading the question wrong but was it
Egon Dracul?

[Hubris]

Nope, sorry wrong tangent Kenny. I guess this is one the cryptic questions that have become so popular lately. Or my attempt at one anyway.

[skinters]

right hands up those who want cryptics ....those against .... grin.gif

[kenny]

Against for me

[BlueJaunter]

Daham Drakesh?

[sdkdmd]

two people i think of
Dragosini and
vlad Svyatoslavich

[Hubris]

He was on ever refered to as a "dragon" in a star-gazer's reading of someones future.

[kenny]

Surley it can't be Nathan

[BlueJaunter]

I got it!

Referred to by Thikkoul, as the "dragon" on whose back Nathan will return to Sunside.

The answer is...

the historian transformed into a flyer...

Karz Biteri

[BlueJaunter]

Oh, I'm FOR cryptic questions,I like a challenge!

[Hubris]

You got'em Jaunter. On to you.

[BlueJaunter]

ok gonna think of a good one
wife has school online for a bit
I'll post one tonight
smile.gif

[BlueJaunter]

Though not Wamphyri this person was killed twice.
Both times the killer was a member of E-Branch.
Who is it?

[Jade Rose]

I may be, and likely am, way off base with this one. But I haven't had sleep in a few days so... Boris Dragosani?

[skinters]

im guessing darcy clark .....

[Hubris]

Trevor Jordan? It was his finger on the trigger.

[BlueJaunter]

You got it Hubris good job!
(I thought this would be a little harder as you had to span two books to figure it out)

Good work!
Your turn.

[Hubris]

Who was the original "brains and driving force" of Perchorsk?

[ April 06, 2005, 10:26 AM: Message edited by: Hubris ]

[Helmet Head]

Right I think i know this but his name escapes me at the moment, I'll go look it up.

Although...I think there were two of them orginally but one of them bit the bullet in the first perchorsk accident and it could be him you meen and that your just being a wee bit sneaky...

[skinters]

viktor luchov survived both accidents and was there till the end....and while not the original id say that gives him a bit of brains grin.gif

franz ayvaz had the force ;)

[ April 06, 2005, 01:06 PM: Message edited by: skinters ]

[Hubris]

It's just one guy.

[skinters]

yeah franz is my answer ....i mentioned viktor about something helm said ,jus a bit of jest .jus speaking out loud that he was the one with the brains.

franz ayvaz was the brains and driving force behind perchorsk .

[Helmet Head]

Oh right it's my go, ok....

Name the Wamphyri lord who had no need of a gauntlet???

[skinters]

[skinters]

What the hell would be the point of a huge pair of bo****ks with out a giant c**k?????

well i can jus picture 2 wamphyri lords looking down at they warriors and one says ...well mines got bigger balls ....what ? not like its forbidden grin.gif

[sdkdmd]

The Helm needs to stay away from thoses types of conversations, big this, big that and any thing that has to do with the color...... ;)

[Helmet Head]

Your go Skints, and no filth please were English...

[skinters]

ok ...give this un a bash

name where harry had never attempted to conjure a door.

[ April 09, 2005, 12:31 PM: Message edited by: skinters ]

[Tchernobog]

IIRC, Harry Keogh had never attempted to conjure a Mobius door inside the Mobius Contiuum.

Or wait a second.. Wasn't that Nathan?

Hm, here's an easy one:
How did the Crimean Tartans (the ones that Keogh called up to attack the Château) end up being slaughtered en masse in 1579?

[ April 09, 2005, 08:13 PM: Message edited by: Tchernobog ]

[skinters]

wait .......i mean thas not the right answer

[Helmet Head]

Do you mean when he conjures one in conjuntion with one of the gates????

[Tchernobog]

ahahaha, silly me.. :D

[skinters]

this is a place where he NEVER attempted to conjure a door.with the gate it wasnt possible .with this other way he was never put in a situation to see if it would work.

[ April 10, 2005, 07:42 AM: Message edited by: skinters ]

[Exsanguinator]

My living room..! tongue.gif

Is mention made to him never attempting to conjour a door in this place?

[sdkdmd]

is this a specific place mention in a book or is it a place that you noticed he never tried...like under water..at lease i don't think he tried, not that i remember

and if you didn't finish all the books how do you know it wasn't tried in a later book.
did i get you with that one? ;) smile.gif

[skinters]

ha haaaaa ive got to give it to you ol fox

underwater is the place harry never tried to conjure a door its mentioned in the last fight against shaithis warrior when he was inside its brain .

dont know if its ever attempted in later novels by those who have the power to conjure a door ,alas i can only pose questions on the ones ive read .

on to you . ;)

[ April 10, 2005, 12:04 PM: Message edited by: skinters ]

[Bozlem Stu]

I thought he'd conjured door's underwater when trying to reach the first portal (under the orphanage) or are the voices in my head misleading me again??

[skinters]

he might well have done mate ...when i first thought of doing this as a question, i guessed that maybe the restrictions that apply to the gate as far as calling up a door,was concerned would also apply to it being attempted underwater....for myself i can only ask questions on the first five books and well when reading the part where it mentioned it was never attempted before i thought id throw it in here.

tell you what value for money ,when i ask a question we get a good bloody debate aswell grin.gif

[ April 11, 2005, 07:52 AM: Message edited by: skinters ]

[Helmet Head]

I'm pretty sure he used a gate underwater in the Source , while he was trying to make his way up the subteranean waterway that led to the orginal gate...but I could be mistaken.

Are well SDKDMD's turn it is...

[skinters]

yeah i thought that one would be brought up. i looked that part up again just recently as i was thinking the same. reading it again it seems that he was never fully submerged when jumping forward through doors ,and would have been a contradiction to say much later in the series that harry had never attempted a door underwater....p.552 deadspawn

it is indeed ol foxes turn,where you hiding ? grin.gif

[ April 11, 2005, 01:55 PM: Message edited by: skinters ]

[sdkdmd]

ok, easy one.
name all the characters in the series.

just kidding.

what was Thibor's coat of arms?....BUT!

this is way to easy, so, i want the discription as discribed in the book...AND, where or how did it originate?

[skinters]

alright heres my go at it .

thibor`s banner was the bat atop a dragon.

the dragon belonged to prince vladimir,and was given to thibor when he was sent to battle with the pechenegi .after he returned with a thousand pechenegi thumbs the banner had changed with the black bat of the wallachs riding the dragon .i think the banner was just the bat riding the dragon and thibor had set faethors head atop of his banner hence the devil being etched into his final coat of arms.

im a lil confused how the devil was incorperated into the coat of arms at thibor`s burial site ....wasnt it etched into the stone by the sganzy?
and then that being his final coat of arms ? the devil atop with the bat riding the dragon .

anyways a bit long winded my answer so ill leave it for who ever to fill in the gaps and maybe make a better job of it ;)

[ April 12, 2005, 01:37 PM: Message edited by: skinters ]

[sdkdmd]

what you say is right on the money but i'm also looking for....for example, the BLACK BAT OF WALLACHS - and the ???? dragon of ????, and the ???? devil of the ????

and just for fun..
when Thibor returned someone made a comment about the bat riding the dragon.
what did Thibor say in reply??

[skinters]

alright ill let somone else have a crack at your original question ....

the fun 1 ....thibor said: what would you want your dragon pissing on my bat ....or something to that effect

[ April 13, 2005, 09:20 AM: Message edited by: skinters ]

[skinters]

the golden dragon of the true christ from the greeks .....not sure about the devil one ....devil of the ferengi ha haaaaa

[sdkdmd]

close enough..red devil of the Ferenczy

what? would you have your dragon pissing on my bat. great line

next question

[skinters]

`BIg fleas have little fleas
upon their backs to bite `em.
And little fleas have smaller fleas,
and so ad infinitum !`

who remembered the above ditty?,and who was the person that sparked the memory?.

[Exsanguinator]

Big whorls have little whorls
That feed off their velocity
And little whorls and smaller whorls
And so on to viscosity...

No direct link to the question jsut you sparks the memory!

Harry and Faethor comes to mind in answer - but that's too obvious to be right!

[skinters]

hey i might start a ditty thread ha haaaaa

[sdkdmd]

Vulpe and Janos???? quick guess

[skinters]

no this person was considered quite and itch where harry was concerned

[Exsanguinator]

Darcy Clarke & Wellesly was the "Mind Flea" in question...

I remembered the Mind Flea then everything else (hopefully!) fell into place...

[skinters]

youve got darcy clark with the ditty...but the mind flea wasnt wellesly.....this lil sorry excuse for a man was refered to as the flea ,mind flea and jus general pain in the arse where harry was concerned...an itch he had to get rid of .

[Exsanguinator]

Might be getting books mixed up here... Paxton then?

[skinters]

yes and no you aint got the books mixed up ...on to you and glad you had it in the end ha haaaaaaa

[Exsanguinator]

Sorry about delay...

When E-Branch gets raided by military personel in the VW trilogy what piece of legislation is the head of E-Branch at the time censured with... And roughly what is his response?

My apologies if this was brought up somewhere else in the 100s of posts after this.

[Hubris]

Eeeww...this is a good'un, I have to do some research. Nice Pybob.

[sdkdmd]

you are correct Barno, i did think of it after awhile and no it wasn't mentioned in the next 100 or so post,

[sdkdmd]

i also have to do some research for this one.

where's The Helm when you need him.

and i guess your out of this one skinters.

[skinters]

yeah mate i am about ...lurking ha haaaaaaa
and watching this one with interest .

dont worry bout helm he will be in crash bang wallop grin.gif

[ April 18, 2005, 07:32 PM: Message edited by: skinters ]

[Exsanguinator]

Clue (and trying not to give anything away to those who haven't read this series yet): The legislation is an Act of UK law of which there is no criminal equivilent on the US statutes (at least not the last time I checked) - and in response the Act is likened to something we are thankfully only exposed to once a year...

[kenny]

Have looked everywhere but dammed if i can find the answer, this is a good one Exsanguinator.

[Exsanguinator]

Well, if there's no responses by tomorrow I'll give the answer and pass the next question on...

[sdkdmd]

myself, just no time this past week or so, work, work, work.....

[skinters]

is this possibly the first winner ?naaaa cant be .

[nightshade]

I'm at work and my references (my collection) is at home. If I can remember to, I'll look through them in the morning. (i get home at 1am)

I remember the general area as to where this would be, so it should be easy-ish to find.

[nightshade]

Nope. The closest I could get was when CMI barged into E-Branch, but Trask was with Nathan and there was no censure, cept for Goodly telling the head officer that the Official Secrets Act was peanuts compared to what they must now follow. Pre-frontal lobotomies were mentioned.

[Exsanguinator]

Did I say head? oops - I was trying not to mention names so not to give anything away to those who haven't read it yet (my bad)...

The quoting of the Official Secrets Act was the censure... And the response belittling it (for some reason a christmas cracker joke is stuck in my head) was what I was looking for...

No matter - my shakey memory notwithstanding you got the exact scene and managed to get the answer from my shakily asked question...

Over to you Nightshade...

[sdkdmd]

when CMI raided,i knew where trask was,the ops room.
i knew what he was doing,shaking hands with everyone for thier departure for the Mobius con. [trasks first time]

[nightshade]

"Think about this. You are required, by a law that makes the Official Secrets Act look like a joke from a Christmas cracker, to forget you were even here! Why, you might even be persuaded to forget you were born! Because for all you know, your boss - or maybe his boss - is fitting you all up for prefrontal lobotomies right now!"

Yes, very very funny. smile.gif

Ok, my turn. (it'll be easy, I don't have time to do a cryptic one)

The name of Jake's revenge (aka the reason) and the head person who made the revenge necessary.

For extra points, add the head person's accomplices.

[Helmet Head]

Luigi Castellano was the head honcho and they murdered Jakes then russian drug running girlfriend Natasha.
Of course they raped her in front of him first though...nice arn't they

Can't remember the others involved, a fat german and a weasel looking frenchman spring to mind but I can't remember there names or the others involved

[nightshade]

Extra points not necessary, you have the board.

[Helmet Head]

Who did Harry force off the road and kill up in the Scotish wilds and who was his father???

[Hubris]

I know the names of his father and even his granfather. Can't for anything think of his though.

[kenny]

Looks like everyone is stumped on this one Helm.
Any more clues?

[Helmet Head]

Right OK, Harry was actually on a weekend break up in the Scottish hills with his be-atch...SHE decided to call it off after a spot murder spoiled her mood...

[Canker]

I remember it being in Lost Years...correct?

[Silver]

It was the guys posing as monks in Tebet, just can't remember the names.

[Helmet Head]

Your on the right road but I need a proper answer...

[Helmet Head]

Com'on freak-a-zoids I need an answer...

Otherwise I'm going to think up a cryptic one and leave it on this board forever with no clues I tells yah...

[nightshade]

If no one minds, I'll answer it then someone else can do the next question. I haven't answered it yet because I'm fresh out of a good quesion.

[sdkdmd]

well, no one else is making any attempt to answer it.
me, i don't know the answer and have no time to look, been real busy the past few weeks.

[kenny]

Come on Nightshade, give us the answer and put the lot of us out of our misery.

[skinters]

yeah get that answer in there ha haaaaaaaa

getting a bit rusty here ;)

[Freshly Risen]

Hi, I have only been reading the Necroscope series in the past 2 years and the lost years are the only ones I have not read often.

But the guy he forced off the road, weren't they part of the Draculs or was that they were great enemies of the Dracul brothers

[Helmet Head]

Again on the right tracks...but not the answer

They were in a van which Harry forced off the road.
There were two in the van and one of them was somebody importants bloodson...

[Silver]

OK, I've been thinking of the name Drakesh ever scince you asked this question, it's not the name of the guy in the van but I seem to think his sire is the leader of the Drakesh Monestary.

I don't usually answer these cos I can't guarantee I'll be around often enough, and it means thinking of a question when you get one right!

[Helmet Head]

Yes but what was the name of the last Dracul and what was his blood son called???

[Tchernobog]

Well, Nonari the Gross's son was Belos Pheropzis..
But who was the chap that was killed in Scotland? No idea.. Daham Drakesh was his father, but I don't think that Lumley ever told us his bloodson's name..

[sdkdmd]

Daham Drakesh

Mahag was his bloodson

next question please

[Teri]

O.K., I am new here, so will see if I am doing this right, guys. Help me out!

Here's one for ya.....Who became Nathan's escape flyer-friend, from Turgosheim?

[Jade Rose]

I'm don't know if they'll let the question stand or not, Teri, techincally when he said next question please, it wasn't an all around the board thing it was actually a way of signifying that it's Helm's turn to put up a question as he got it correct. The way this works is that the person who gets the question right gets to ask the next question. Unless they changed it, as I've been away from the boards a bit too much of late! And, I don't think anyone will be biting your head off for this, you said yourself you're new. My method with threads I'm unfamiliar with is usually to look at the first page and see if it gives instructions. Like this page sends it over to the previous Necroknowledge page which gives the rules of how the game works. So, a word of advice is, if the thread is new to you,look at the beginning, especailly on the games and things. Make sure you know what's going on.
As for what will become of your question, I think that's ad the discression of the higher ups and the Helm who has i this go round.
:: hugs:: You meant well, and I'm sure they'll know that and not kill you. And a warm welcome to you, I hope you have a good time during your stay here.

[Helmet Head]

I'll let it stand on the basis that I'm in work and can't be assed finking one up... grin.gif

[sdkdmd]

karz biteri

[Canker]

That's it I believe!

[Helmet Head]

I suppose i should take the lead on this one and confirm that this is the correct answer, your go John...

[sdkdmd]

when your with this person "God, you need a respirator!"

who is this person and why do you need the respirator?

[Tchernobog]

Guy Roberts.
Why? Well, the chap was a tobacco addict, and (according to Gower) he stank of "bloody weed" when he was awake.

"Anyway, let old Roberts kip. He’s tired and when he’s awake the place stinks of bloody weed! I’ve seen him with three going at once! God, you need a respirator!’"

[sdkdmd]

goog answer, your turn

[Tchernobog]

All right, here we go:

How did Bruce Trennier become a vampire and how did he die?

[sdkdmd]

he was turned by Malinari in the sump
and he died when someone [Malinari] turned him into a glove puppet

[Tchernobog]

Well, Malinari recruited Trennier in the sump, but he did sure as hell not kill him :D


I don't really know how you guys deal with a situation like this (when someone's got the first half of the answer, but not the rest of it), so I'll just assume that it's still up for grabs. (Correct me if this is not the correct procedure)

[ May 15, 2005, 05:27 PM: Message edited by: Tchernobog ]

[Jade Rose]

The second half of the answer is that he was roasted by Jake Cutter and crew when they went through the australian outback trying to get to Malinari, was he not?

[Tchernobog]

Aye, that's correct. You're up.

[sdkdmd]

i get to ask half a question and Jade gets to ask the other half ;)

just kidding.
now i kind-of remember how he died

[Jade Rose]

So I'm assuming then that I take the question. Though Perchorsk was a failure for the Russians, there were some who were able to get it to work, who were they and what did they use it to do?
(Side not for Sd, I think your quote is supposed to say destructive to the mind, not mine. Just so you know.)

[sdkdmd]

Thank You Jade
I'm glad your back

Well thanks, I didn't know you all noticed I'd gone... I blame it on an anime forum that a friend got me in, but I think I'm not somewhat unadicted.. and I'm surprised you don't have an answer on the question.

[Helmet Head]

E-branch got it working to stop the vampires getting to them after the world is over run by them.

You see it in Ian Goodly's vampire enhanced vision of the future...

[Jade Rose]

Alright then Helm, your turn.

[Helmet Head]

His nicknames Dancer but what is his real name and who does he work for?

[sdkdmd]

Guy Tanziano

Francezci

[Helmet Head]

Your go buddy...

[sdkdmd]

what are the Perchorsk "encounters" and what was the outcome of each one?

[Tchernobog]

Well, the first one was when a warrior came through the portal. I don't know how it got out of the base, but it was shot down by some American fighter planes when it entered American airspace after leaving Perchorsk. [The Source]
The second one was when a Wamphyri (probably a lieutenant) came through. He was killed by a bunch of soldiers armed with flamethrowers. [The Source]
The third one was when that guy (whose name I've forgotten) came back from Sunside/Starside after having been turned into a monster by one of the Wamphyri Lords (Shaitis?). Some chap used the newly installed defense system to blow him up along with some other guy. [The Source]
Aaaand the fourth encounter was when Nathan came through.. He was held as a prisoner by the Ruskies, but escaped. [The Last Aerie]

Ugh, I'm sure that I've forgotten/left out a few.. Especially since I'm just up to TLY Vol. 2 at the time of writing.

Welcome to the board Kris.

But i must inform you that you have to answer a question to ask a question

[sdkdmd]

Tchernobog, #1 is right, #2 is right, which was encounter #5,

all encounters are from the Source and there were five, they were called "Perchorsk encounters"

[ May 21, 2005, 09:08 AM: Message edited by: sdkdmd ]

[Tchernobog]

Aah, of course.. My memory is not what it used to be..

Anyway, I think that I've got one more, but I'm drawing a blank on last one (#3 or 4).


There was this one 'encounter' where they actually managed to capture a creature (IIRC, it tried to hide in a hole, but ended up being captured). They put it in a tank and set a scientist to study it.. The creature managed to infect the scientist by giving him its egg. And the rest... that's history ;)

[sdkdmd]

That's #3 still need # 2 and 4

[sdkdmd]

Thats # 3 now you need #2 and 4 and what happen to them.
also , you need to tell me what happen to #3

[skinters]

jeeez ha haaaaaa

[sdkdmd]

no answer for us skinters?

[skinters]

no john cant get my head round it ,been busy lately and jus looking in here now and again .

[Freshly Risen]

If I am not mistaken I beleive the other two encounters were a bat and a wolf.

I think they let the bat just fly off, but they kept the wolf alive because it was tame and it died of old age.

Well, was i close?? smile.gif

[sdkdmd]

that's encounters #2 wolf and #4 bat

but i can't let you steal this that easy
what happen to the bat?

first one takes all

[skinters]

didnt they fry that bats snout as he stuck it out of the gate ? grin.gif

Ah, but you never know.. Some people have a tendency to turn up where you 'least expect them.

[skinters]

yesh you might be right there ,i think tina turner would kick some ass at starside. grin.gif

[Tchernobog]

Well, she'd certainly make for an awesome Wamphyri Lady with that hair of hers.


Anyway, where did DC run off to?

[DC 1]

What was the name of the eleventh Thyre colony along the Great Dark River?

[sdkdmd]

seven wells south

[DC 1]

Yup

[sdkdmd]

what were Doombody's reasons for giving his egg to the Lady Karen??

[Tchernobog]

Hum, I think that Dramal Doombody gave it to his heir (Karen) when he knew that he was just about to face his demise. Why? Well, Doombody contracted leprosity when he copulated with a female leper.
He fought it for a while (500 years or so), but since he had to spend all his energy on fighting the disease, his aerie went into disrepair. He was afraid of dying (either of the disease or by having his servants kill him off and flee from the pesthole he called his aerie. So, he thought that he'd give his egg to someone who wasn't a member of the band of would-be traitors that surrounded him. He found a fitting Szganzy youth, Karen Sisclu, and transferred his egg to her through a kiss after having taught her everything she needed to know to be a Wamphyri Lady.

[sdkdmd]

there was a specific reason why he gave it to Karen and it wasn't trust

[Tchernobog]

Aaah, I think that I have the answer.. Dramal hoped that hoped that Karen would become a Wamphyri "mother". (You know, a vampire that can produce an endless stream of eggs)

[sdkdmd]

you got it, your turn

[Tchernobog]

All right, here's a quickie:

Who published "Wild dogs, big cats"?

[Helmet Head]

You nearly had me there, I was about to reply reminding you that this is a necro thread and not a random bookie thread when the question actually sunk in.

Will have to look this one up, I know who wrote it just not the small publishing house that put it out.

[sdkdmd]

this question hasn't sunk in for me yet.

[Helmet Head]

Inspector Andersons clue to little old Angus McGowan's longevity!!!

[sdkdmd]

do you mean inspector Ianson?

[Helmet Head]

Ahh bugger yeah, I was rushing and got the name wrong...dam it dam it I hate getting things wrong...

[sdkdmd]

GREENTREE PUB

[Tchernobog]

Aye, you're up.

[sdkdmd]

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

These six were involved in a mission together,
what was the mission and how were they teamed up? [the buddy system]

[kenny]

They were teamed up against Yulian Bodescu. I take it that you mean how were they paired up?
Ben Trask-Guy Roberts
Simon Gower- Harvey Newton
Ken Layard-Trevor Jordan
Fingers crossed.

[sdkdmd]

over to you

[kenny]

What is the final word that Harry speaks to destroy Janos?

[Tchernobog]

"As Harry uttered the final word, 'Zhror, so Janos's entire body convulsed in instant, unbearable agony. He writhed frantically, vibrated, then grew still. Finally his head flopped back and his awful mouth flew open, and the lights went out in his eyes."

[kenny]

Your go Tchernobog.(the actual word is 'ZHRO). I thought that this was quite a difficult question, but obviously not, you answered it word for word.

[Tchernobog]

Heh, yeah.. I reread Deadspeak the other day, and I remember paying extra attention to all the Lovecraft stuff.. (the castle from 'Dexter Ward, the resurrection people by using their essential salts and the spell, travelling by the help of a mathematical equation (from Dreams in the Witch House) and all that jazz) So it was pretty 'fresh in my head.

Anyway, here we go:

What was Chang Lun's driver's rank?

[sdkdmd]

corporal

[Tchernobog]

That's correct, you're up. grin.gif

[sdkdmd]

how did the myth, vampires fear running water, originate?

[Exsanguinator]

A place in the Urals where a certain Wamphyri sprang forth... In fact the place was named after the event and since to escape from this side's gate (much much older then Perchorsk's) the banished ones had to endure a speleologiset's nightmare - water running through a break in the rocks barely wide enough to fit through and with no possibility for air for a long period of time...

Think the place was called Radujaivik or similar but my memory's hazy...

[sdkdmd]

over to the Exsanguinator

[Exsanguinator]

In the Icelands to the 'North' of the Vampire World Shaitan survived by feeding on coolly encased exiled Wamphyri Lords... We learn of some of their stories in Necroscope 5. There's one who gives two alternative origins for himself - one as a blood-son of a Wamphyri Lord and one as an egg-son; for the Lords a tenacious beings who dissemble always...

What was the name of this Wamphyri Lord?

(The answer isn't in the Companion)

[ June 13, 2005, 07:57 AM: Message edited by: Exsanguinator ]

[Helmet Head]

Complete guess here but was it Arlek Leperson, the one who teams up with Shathis against Fess and Volse?????

[Exsanguinator]

I felt sure this one would have had people going for a short while at least! Ah well...

It was Arkis Leperson. well done Helm... Over to you...

[Helmet Head]

grin.gif Smug looks all round grin.gif

[sdkdmd]

Helm?? i looked in all the dark corners and crevices and i can't seem to find The Helm. :(

[Exsanguinator]

If you kept looking in his crevices I'm not surprised he doesn't want to be found!

[Jade Rose]

Ahh...And here I was hoping we finally had a new question up.

[Helmet Head]

In the Source Harry meets a rather impotent Wamphyri Lieutenant frozen in drip stone under the Carpathian steppes on his way to the first gate, name him???

[sdkdmd]

corlis...who he found on the floor ..headless
he met others...a trog, other wamphyri and some travellers

[ June 17, 2005, 07:08 AM: Message edited by: sdkdmd ]

[Helmet Head]

Nope fraid not my eager beaver friend, Corlis was a recent addition.

I may of confused myself slightly though as this particular lieutenant's name may not have been mentioned until a certain second genration necroscope passes through retraceing his fathers steps on his way home...

[Canker]

Just my luck.......... I remember the passage in the book but not sure of the Wamphryi's name.
He asked Nathan to say that he had sent Nathan to them.
Just reaching here but was it Belos?

[sdkdmd]

that was Harry that Belos asked and believe it or not, that was one of my next questions.

Cezar Bitesthrall

[Lord Melkor]

Tricky question:

What was first victim of Johny Found whose`s name we know?

[Jade Rose]

Lord Melkor, to let you know, you don't just ASK a question. First you have to get one right and the person who posted the question will inform you that yes, you got it and then it's your turn to ask a question. It's not just a random jump and go thing, there is a system here. Please, go http://www.brianlumley.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=24;t=000155 to see the rules and a full explination on how this game is played. Thanks.

[Lord Melkor]

Sorry, I will follow the system then.

[Helmet Head]

John you are once again correct, your go buddy...

And Melkor don't worry about jumping in loads of people have done it...

[sdkdmd]

before Khuv sent Jazz through the gate he sent three others through, who were they? i would like a name for at lease one of them.

[ June 19, 2005, 09:59 AM: Message edited by: sdkdmd ]

[Lord Melkor]

Ernst Kopeler and Zek Fóener. First was a criminal, we don`t know his name.

[ June 19, 2005, 11:36 AM: Message edited by: Lord Melkor ]

[sdkdmd]

got it
First the criminal,next Kopeler who tried to defect than Zek.
Lord Melkor's turn with his first question.

[Lord Melkor]

What was the first being killed by Johny Found whose name we know?

[sdkdmd]

his step sister carol was his first human victim.
the first non-human with a name was...i believe her cat Moggit.

[Lord Melkor]

Good, I meant the cat, I thought that was tricky.

Your turn, I assume.

[sdkdmd]

Darcy Clarke miss his shift at Harkley House because he was sick. what was wrong with him?

[Jade Rose]

Offically he had diarrhea, if I'm not mistaken. On hindsight however he realized it was probably his talent kicking in.

[Canker]

Jade back in the fold, your up

[Jade Rose]

Jake Cutter had a serious problem with a man by the name of Luigi Castellano for his connections to someone whom Jake meets in a bar. Who was the person Jake met, what was the connection to Castellano, and what became of this person?
---
That there, I apologize for the slight delay in getting it up. But I had to myself go back and make sure I had it all right before I posted it, and while that would have been such a problem. I was recently modded at my other discussion forum and the head admin kinda dumped a bit of work on me, and my friends much be like phsychic becuase I swear when I finally got a free moment to try and look for a question my friend Andrew calls and has my attention for like 3 hours and seeing as the boy called from Australia, it's not something he does often so I take full advantage of the times he does call.
Now, I am not out of the fold. I've been in and out of here, reading but like I said. Recently tossed into a mod position and I had stuff to organize so I didn't really have the time to come in and be active here. (As a note: Melkor, I didn't mean to come off bitchy at you earlier, it's a side effect of stress and being something that if I saw on my other board I'd be required to correct given my position. No harm meant, I promise.)
And Canker, I don't see what there is to be so astounded about. I knew the answer to that one when I looked at the questioin, I just wasn't completely certian, but too lazy to go get the book and check because those are at the bottom of the box of books I'm taking to college with me (yeah Amy is not going 107 miles away from home without her Lumley books!)

[Hubris]

Her name was Natasha Slepack(sp?). She was a drug runner for Castellano and lover to Jake. She was raped and murdered after trying to get out of the business with his money.

[Jade Rose]

Ehhh... I was going to check the spelling on the naem for you there Spence, but I got to showing off the books to my brother's friend and now it's in the bottom of the box!
But yeah, you got the answer Spence, go for it, hit us with a question.
(And also, what happened to you and the AIM.. not seen you on for a real long stretch)

[Hubris]

Here's an easy one: Who was Hari Kiokis?


(Jade, yeah been a while. Work didn't appreciate AIM as much as I did and I have no net at the house right now. Email me sometime though smarsh@arkansasusa.com)

[Silver]

Harry Keogh

[Hubris]

Your go Silver.

[Silver]

Sorry guys, I only have the internet at work and I haven't been able to catch up with you until now!

I forgot I'd even answered a question!

When Nathan first met the Thyre who was most against him, who helped him to convince that person and how?

[Lord Melkor]

It was Oltae, and Rogei helped Nathan, by communicating with young Necroscope, so Nathan could convince Oltae that he is not lying. Harry spoke about things only Oltae and Rogei knew.

[Silver]

Sorry I took so long, not been around for last few days.

Lord Melkor you are correct except that you surely meant Nathan where you put Harry, but I'll let you off for that.

Your turn

[Lord Melkor]

When Wratha's renegades left Turgosheim, one of them didn't posess a flying warrior. Which one it was?

[ July 05, 2005, 04:22 PM: Message edited by: Lord Melkor ]

[ichbinwamphyri]

was that gorvi the guile?

[Lord Melkor]

Yes! Canker lost his during the journey! Your turn!

[Helmet Head]

?????????

[DC 1]

Not paying attention Pinky ? smile.gif

[Helmet Head]

I thought the answer was Canker...

[Lord Melkor]

No, Canker lost his one during flight from Turgosheim, but he had it when they left. Gorvi is later mentioned as the one not having the warrior, and there is no mention that he lost one like Canker.

So ichbinwamyri got it right.

[Helmet Head]

Yeah cool it was just that I was thrown slightly by your confirmation, but then again I have been half asleep recently.

Hey ho on we go...

[sdkdmd]

that settled, where's ichbin..... :cool:

[ichbinwamphyri]

right here

[ichbinwamphyri]

what was the name of Karens lady that she had thrown from her aeree to decive harry?

[Helmet Head]

Ahh bugger that's well a hard one, looks like I'll have to research this particular little doozy!!!

[sdkdmd]

I believe it was a trog the Lady Karen threw off her aerie and i don't think she had a name.
all others either died at the garden or were sent away, but the trog only knew her home, karens aerie, so returned there where she released karen from the chains, then died, the rest....history :cool:
