no, god rested on sunday

Decreation

Monday,Looking down from on high, the astronaut gaped.Where was everyone?
On Tuesday the animals disappeared;
Wednesday, the birds and fishes;
Thurday saw sun and stars snuffed,the moon magicked away.
Then the trees died,
and Saturday was chaos.
But the astronaut had been right.On Sunday God rested.

i don't know about Friday :confused:

[kenny]

Wednesday.

[sdkdmd]

about time ;)

the whole story above

[kenny]

Can you tell us where the answer is while l think of a ?

[sdkdmd]

the companion and Ghoul Warning. its one of three stories 50 words or less

[kenny]

Thanks sd. Now for the question.
Theem'hdra is the most written about primal land in Brian's novels, name five others that get a mention in one of his books?

[Helmet Head]

I dont understand the question Kenneth, are you refering to other primal lands mentioned in Brian's books or other olden lands/continents like say Pangea??????????

[kenny]

A bit of both really, there is one chapter in a certain book that Brian mentions five other ''primal'' lands. Pangaea is mentioned but that's not what i'm looking for. There's one that everyboby has heard of.

[sdkdmd]

Do you mean like ,Tharamoon, Arlyeh, Humqurss,
Chlangi, Hrossa, Chinhla, Bhur-Esh, kluhn, R'lyeh, Rhrissa, Ruhln, Thandopolis, Shadarabar, Grypha....Kenneth! smile.gif

[Helmet Head]

Suerly Hrossa, Shadarabar etc are all part of Theem'hdra???

I thought Theem'hdra was the continent and all of the different lands exsist within it...

[DC 1]

The only mention I can remember about land outside of the continent was Yaht-Haal.

[sdkdmd]

you are correct Peter.

[kenny]

No sd what you have said are regions in Theem'hdra,if you look at the map in The House Of Cthulhu. What i'm looking for are other ''primal'' lands, one of them being Atlantis. Only four to go. It's at The end of the begining of the end!!!

[sdkdmd]

lets start with this, Atlantis / Mu / Uthmal / Pangaea and....????

[kenny]

Your first three are right, only two to go.

[sdkdmd]

lemuria / hyperborea

[kenny]

You are correct with Hyperborea, don't recall reading of Lemuria anywhere so far.

[sdkdmd]

are you saying there's one more....not uxmal

[kenny]

Yep, according to Brian. Your very close with Hypreborea

[sdkdmd]

i need more of a clue. im guessing it's in "House of Cthulhu" unless your collecting is coming along real nice and it's in one of the harder to find primal land books

[kenny]

It's at ''The End Of The Begining Of The End''.
On the route to Elysia.

[sdkdmd]

Hyborea...i was way off track with this one.
at the end of House of Cthulhu there's talk about The Beginning and The End and some other stuff like that blush.gif

[kenny]

I'm on the last two chapters of House of Cthulhu,
should finish it tonight then it's on to Khai of Khem. Yes sd that was the other one i was looking for, me thinks the clue was toooooo easy? Over to you.

[sdkdmd]

once you mentioned Elysia you gave it away.

if this is your first read of "House" i hope you enjoyed it.
if this is going to be your first read of Khai, you WILL love it

[ November 13, 2005, 01:22 PM: Message edited by: sdkdmd ]

[kenny]

Yes sd this was my first read of ''House'', but certainly not my last. Will keep you posted on Khai.

[sdkdmd]

where are the seven mages from?

[ November 13, 2005, 01:38 PM: Message edited by: sdkdmd ]

[kenny]

Thay came from the stars with all knowledge at a time lost in the world's dim and terrible infancy.

[sdkdmd]

True, but not the one im looking for...read on

[kenny]

They came from the seven lands on Khem's borders: from Siwad,Kush,Daraaf,Nubia,Therae,Arabba and Syra. or do i still need to read on?

[sdkdmd]

No, that's the answer,you can stop reading now.

[kenny]

Stop reading Khai of Khem, i don't think so. It's one of those books that if you have'nt read before you just have to keep reading(time permitting)until it's finished. l'll be back later with a question.

[kenny]

Oh by the way congrats on your 1000th post sd.

[kenny]

This person was born in 2129, but if he had been born a couple of decades later he wouldn't have been allowed to live, who is he?

[kenny]

It's now been 4 days since i posted this question, can i post another since nobody is going to have a stab in the dark at it(no that is not a clue)?

[sdkdmd]

seeing that it seems to be just you and me it's hard to keep the flow.

i know i read that line somewhere..would it be from a short story, maybe

[kenny]

Yes, sd it's from a short story.

[kenny]

When i read this story it freaked me out.

[kenny]

Anyone going to answer this?

[sdkdmd]

RAY - The Man Who Felt Pain??

[kenny]

No, sorry sd but this guy was much uglyier.

[kenny]

The answer is Hesch Blarzt from the short story The Ugly Act in Freaks

[topol_sheap]

Kenny, another question please? or pass on to someone else!

[kenny]

Why don't you ask a question Tops

[DC 1]

Probably still suffering a New Year hangover smile.gif

[kenny]

Who was the Arabban slaver that survived the ''Rain of Death'' at Glif Kebir?

[topol_sheap]

[kenny]

You are correct sir, your go.

[DC 1]

Who was the cover artist on the RED Psycho series of books?

[Exsanguinator]

You on about the George Underwood covers with the red stripes making up the rest of the cover design or the Alun Hood ones that George Underwood's replaced following the recovering of the first Necroscope?

[DC 1]

Underwood was the one.

I actually thought the original art was by Terry Oakes. Bugger.

[Exsanguinator]

Might've been... Just got Alun's name stuck in my head... lol

All my books are in storage at the moment - so whoever can confirm who did the original Psycho covers can field the next question... smile.gif

[DC 1]

Someone....Pleaseeeeeee

[Exsanguinator]

Gone on so long I'd forgotten about this... Buggrit:

Who directed the small-screen adaptation of the Lumley short, Nekros?

Bonus points if you can also name the famous advert directing brothers who produced the series it was filmed for...

[DC 1]

Russell Mulcahy was the director I think...

Did the Scotts produce this series????

[Exsanguinator]

Aye, over to you...

[kenny]

Has this board lost intrest????

[sdkdmd]

looks that way

[joeann2005]

why dos nobody ever talk about demogorgon? i thought it 1 of brians best work?

[Helmet Head]

If someone wishes to ask a question then feel free people as I'm pretty sure the 3 day rule is up and that somebody can jump into the empty question seat!!!

[Silver]

Jo I loved Deomgorgon, quite some time ago now The Ancient 1, who sadly has dissapeared now always fought for it's inclusion so I'm sure there are others who loved it too. If you want to open a topic about it and let us know why you loved it, maybe why you think it often gets neglected then please do, I'm sure they'll be plenty of interest

[kenny]

OK Joeann answer this(or anybody else),what drinks did Trace buy for himself and Jilly in The Ship?

[topol_sheap]

?? Has this died? if so I'll ask an easy question... if not ignore it... How many novels (ex-necroscope) has Mr Lumley had published?

[topol_sheap]

(it's been years since I read Demogorgan ;) )

[Helmet Head]

I'm taking a stab at 16 full novels but thats including the 6 Titus Crow books (I wasn't sure if they counted as half though)

Khai, Demo, House, Maze, Phsycosphere, Phsychomech, Phsychmok, Hero, Ship, Mad moon and the 6 Titus Crow books....not counted Iced on Aran as it was a collection of short stories...

How did I do, looks a bit shaky to me as I've probably missed something....

[topol_sheap]

I think that's right smile.gif

I think anyone asking the same about short stories would need to list them all... As I am sure people would miss some ;)

[kenny]

Sooooooooo my question was tooooooooo hard then was it?

[topol_sheap]

no one answered it, you know the rules... ;)

[sdkdmd]

You certainly got us with that one sd.

Not giving up the answer that easy.

[kenny]

Well DC i'm beat, nearly a fortnight since this post and i am just a close now as i was then. PLEASE put me out of my misery:confused: :confused: :confused:.

[topol_sheap]

hey, can we get spaces if necessary? That might help... It's a pain as the first letter of the word has 5 options... the second has 3 the third has 4 options and so on. It's like the most hardcore puzzle I've seen in a while

[DC 1]

it just says " Your go if u read this"

When I typed it in originally, there were spaces between words.

[kenny]

VERY sneeky, all this time i'm looking for a character,place,who knows what else. Definately 11/10 for originality.:cool:

As for sneeky..Not really. Just thought I could get some noggins working over xmas.

[kenny]

[sdkdmd]

I did get to "Your go"

[sdkdmd]

I was thinking maybe we could skip right over 2006 and go to 2007.

Can we close this thread and start anew.
