Lumlian Knowledge IV

[Ema]

Heh heh , yes, started it up again Nathan, especially after getting into the Dreamland Series.. which the Q's I have is based on...second book...

This is from another thread (forgets which one) that I seem to remember GG & maybe Jase & Tops talking about and I finally got it!!

Q: What was the Legless Firefly accused of? :-D

Also.... Who or what was the Curator? And what did the 2 Adventurer's (Hero & Eldin) do to get him so angry?

Heh heh.. Love this series!! Also got a few on the Ships/Captains... but can't remember where Erik posted those either.. and only one full ship/cap the other.. never mind..lol Save that for another day!

[Nathan]

You know there's a standing Hero question (answer?) in Lumlian Jeopary? I asked it just for you... smile.gif

I don't know the answer to your question(s)...I'll have to look them up if no one else gets them. (But I think all the answers are in Lumlian Knowledge III. :D EDIT--in response to Ema's post below...I'm not completely sure which thread it's in. :D)

Well, the Firefly one I think wasn't really a question but a discussion they were having.. a Hero & Eldin joke!

[VonDarkmoor]

the curator, was a mechanical chap from the museum. he was angry with hero and eldin for theivery, both attempted successfull and unsuccessfull.

[Ema]

Hehheh, I knew you'd get them GG! Ohhhh you going to the races this weekend??

[Nathan]

The answer is...yes! If you can make it I'm sure you'd be welcome.

[Nathan]

Close enough...Limnar Dass. smile.gif

Gofer it...

[VonDarkmoor]

name the 2 surviving members of the original grim. Also why were they so named?

[Nathan]

Here ya go, Tops... you can take VonDarkmoor's spot and we'll get this one goin' back up again as well...

[topol_sheap]

you're on the ball tonight!... which do I do? necro knowledge of Lumlian KNowledge?

[Nathan]

Both!

smile.gif

[topol_sheap]

OK I'll have a couple of things for tomorrow! (UK tomorrow!)

[topol_sheap]

OK, trying to think about this one... something not to horrible!

Name the first Arkham House collectin Brian was published in, and name the two stories that appeared in said collection.

(that's nearly as harsh as the one I just posted in Necro Knowledge VEEE - probably more so)

I'll give you a clue in a couple of days.

[Lupa the Ancient]

was it 'tales of the cthulhu mythos'?... the stories - the sister city & cement surroundings. I know this book, but am unsure whether there was another book or two prior to it.

[topol_sheap]

you're good Ancient1... I thought that was a hard question. But you're right on every count...

There were a couple of Arkham Collectors printed before that, but in the sense of a collection, they didn't fit as they were pamphlets. Numbers 3 & 4 and as far as I know were the first publications of any Lumley work. The Cypress Shell was the first printed story by Arkahm house in 1968, in The Arkham Collector number 3.

Over to you!

[Lupa the Ancient]

Cheers Tops .... a similar question -

Which two of Brians stories appeared in the books THE DISCIPLES OF CTHULHU and NEW TALES OF THE CTHULHU MYTHOS ... and can you name the editors of both Anthologies?

Pretty easy if you have the books ... if not, good luck.... ;)

[topol_sheap]

I'll leave this for a couple of days.

[Lupa the Ancient]

Guys ... Don't really know if I can give any clues - without giving the answers!

Anyway, one of the stories later became the title story of one of the Masters collections....

Is that abit of a clue?

If not I reckon its over to Tops to give the answer me thinks... tongue.gif

[Nathan]

Well, I can tell you that The Sister City and Cement Surroundings were featured in Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, and that it's edited by August Derleth, but my copy doesn't say the New Tales of the...

...and I don't have "Disciples", so...

N8

[topol_sheap]

Nate,

Arkham House released an other anthology called New Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, which was edited by Ramsey Campbell, and contained (if memory serves me) The Second Wish. This anthoogy was dedicated to the memory of August Derleth, editor extraodinaire, and if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be chatting about Mr Lumley now.

Disciples of Cthulhu was edited by Edward P Berglund (spelling?), it contained The Fairgournd Horror, I think.

Don't have access to my books here at work, so this is mostly guess work!!!!

Tops

[Lupa the Ancient]

Tops .... you are of course correct on every count (even the spelling). Good stuff mate -- a mind of information.

So its over to you .... :D

[Nathan]

Yeah, I pretty much figured something like that. I've never heard of a collection with the name of either title I mentioned. :D

[topol_sheap]

tell me your joking ;P please.... that's my favourite anthology, ever

[topol_sheap]

and now for a question... this one should be pretty easy, well compared to the last couple...

Who first published Elysia? and in which year / country.

Good luck.

[Exsanguinator]

If memory serves that would've been W Paul Ganley, which makes the country the US... as for year - have to take a guess here - late eighties - '89?

[topol_sheap]

Pybob,

Looks like you're in the driving chair!

Take it away!

Tops

[Nathan]

Either I only make sense to myself or you read my post wrong. Or maybe I've missed a collection somewhere!?!? :(

No, I meant that I pretty much knew my answer was wrong because there is no anthology called either Cement Surroundings or The Sister City.

[topol_sheap]

Nate,

I now take your meaning... sorry about that...

And Phill, over to you... I don't want this thared to die.

Later

TOps

[Exsanguinator]

Been busy flogging Mills & Boon to the blue rinsed masses this week... Will post my question as soon as I thought of one!

OK - thought of one - a ridiculously easy one... Which artist did the covers (correct spelling please!) for the Headline (UK) editions of the Dreamlands books...?

[topol_sheap]

it's not that easy if you only have american editions!

[Silver]

It's also not that easy if you don't have any - yet

[Lagula Longarm]

The fortunate thing about having your book collection next to your PC is.....Mark Salwowski

[Exsanguinator]

All yours Deano... smile.gif

[Lagula Longarm]

Cheers mate,

Who was known as the Slave king in Khai Of Ancient Khem ?

[The Caller of the Black]

Would it be a chap named Pharaoh perchance?

[Lagula Longarm]

Sorry Ja..err caller of the black, that is not the correct answer.

[The Caller of the Black]

Must be the good King Khasathut then. ;)

[Nathan]

Dude's got a sick lookin' penis, that's all I knew... strange that that stuck with me over his name! redface.gif

[The Caller of the Black]

Nathan

I'm surprised you didn't think he was called Dick. LOL

[Nathan]

...or Peter. :D lol

Sorry, Peter... I almost didn't say it. tongue.gif

[Goth Girl]

Isn't it the guy who took Khai in and hid him when he escaped the pyramid? His name's on the tip of my tongue, but seems to be staying there I'm afraid!

[Lagula Longarm]

Nice try Mr Black, but that's not the correct answer. GG you are correct in thinking it was the guy who helped Khai escape...but what was his name ?

[Lagula Longarm]

Okay, it seems we are struggling with this one, so how about a clue.... His initials are A G

[Lady Rissa]

Ok, as I read this book on the recommendation from everyone at KeoghCon2, I'll try and answer it.

I believe it was Andonda Gomba (spelling?)

Is that right???

[Lagula Longarm]

Well done Lady Risa, it was Adonda Gomba ...over to you smile.gif

[Lady Rissa]

In the book, "The House Of Doors", what was the name of the alien who brought the house to Earth and what was the name of his race?

[topol_sheap]

**** of the *****

smile.gif I know who it is, but answerng an hour after it's been put up is a little unfair...

[The Caller of the Black]

Sith of the Thone.

[The Caller of the Black]

I'll throw this question into the ring.

Who destroyed Titus Crow's house?

[topol_sheap]

I know you've won, you knwo it, but it's not been confirmed my friend smile.gif oh you've been forward smile.gif

[The Caller of the Black]

[Silver]

Well if everyone else is being forward my answer is Ithaqua and his minions.

[The Caller of the Black]

Yes it was the Wind Walker. Take it away Silver.

[Silver]

Thank you Mr Black

As I've just been reading it my question is related to Psychomech. What did Richard Garrison name Thomas Schroder's place in the Hartz?

[Goth Girl]

Garrison's Retreat?

[Silver]

Well done GG. Your turn

[Goth Girl]

Eeek... OK... ummmm..... (musical interlude while I get my brain cell into gear!)

Don't think we've had any Demogorgon questions (waiting to be told otherwise now!), or at least not very many, so here goes:

What word did Charlie use to describe his chosen profession?
