Standing question from DC:

Who was Omar Dassam and who did he give a gold ring to


[ January 21, 2005, 12:28 PM: Message edited by: Nathan ]

[sdkdmd]

manek thotak

i'll get back to you about the ring,i think i know but i'm not sure

[sdkdmd]

Arnott,Paul

Manek took the ring into the future and gave it to Arnott as a reminder or something like that???

[DC 1]

That will do nicely.

[sdkdmd]

name Teh Atht's 3 familiars

[Helmet Head]

You bugger I only finished those particular tales a few months ago but I cant remember there names....darn it I'll av to look em up :mad:

[Helmet Head]

I can't beleive that I had the answer the whole blinking time, they don't have names as such just descriptions of what they are which are then used as names.

The one who Flitted

The one who Flowed

The one who Hopped (Hopper)

[sdkdmd]

correct A+

[Helmet Head]

Who was Wilhem Klinke and under what name would he become better known????

[DC 1]

Willy Koenig

Schroeders and Garrisons "Bodyguard" for want of a better word

[Helmet Head]

Over to you DC

[DC 1]

In who's image were the Rods created?

Who did they pursue?

[ February 06, 2005, 03:20 PM: Message edited by: DC ]

[sdkdmd]

rodney denholm
angela

[DC 1]

Yup. All yours

[sdkdmd]

in what year was Rlyeh sunk?

[sdkdmd]

DC... Thomas.... Peter..... anyone

Does this mean i'm the winner
The ultimate stumper? grin.gif

[topol_sheap]

no you're not that good yet (you'll see why tongue.gif )... it depends on what you mean by R'lyeh, how you spell it (a very important factor), and which version of the mythos you're talking about ;)

My question about this, is are you talking of the appearance of it in House of Cthulhu?? Because it was sunk eons ago by a configuration of the stars, only for it to rise a certain times, and then it would sink again.

Your question is ambiguous as R'lyeh has risen a few times over the years, with the help of Derleth, Derleth/Lovecraft and Lumley.

[ February 19, 2005, 04:42 AM: Message edited by: Tops ]

[sdkdmd]

i did spell it wrong
ok, lets try this, according to Lumley in House of Cthulhu what year was -ARLYEH- sunk.

[ February 19, 2005, 06:19 AM: Message edited by: sdkdmd ]

[topol_sheap]

1963

[topol_sheap]

am I right?

[sdkdmd]

no your not right, i thought you were being silly...and if your not, where did you come up with that answer :rolleyes:

[topol_sheap]

I read the intro to house of cthulhu ;) where it does mention it. I'm not being silly.

[sdkdmd]

i didn't read through the whole intro to "house" but it mentions the rising of Surtsey in 1963.

the answer i look for is in "house" ganley...northeast corner

[ February 24, 2005, 10:14 PM: Message edited by: sdkdmd ]

[topol_sheap]

I have to say I did skim read it:) I'll take another look when I get home - at my other edition of the book... north east corner - good call!

[DC 1]

Sunk in year of Red Moon I believe.

Maybe that was 1963 and Tom was right? Who knows:)

[topol_sheap]

when was the year of the red moon... we need a year for this as that's the original question smile.gif

Could it be the question is ambiguous? grin.gif

[ March 02, 2005, 07:13 AM: Message edited by: Tops ]

[DC 1]

I agree. If we had known all he wanted was the year of the red moon, anyone could have got that...I thought he wanted an actual year smile.gif

[sdkdmd]

yeah yeah yeah, excuses excuses :rolleyes:
all i know is, it took you guys long enough ;)

that is the answer i was looking for, YEAR of red moon

[DC 1]

Who (or what) was Gyriss

[sdkdmd]

one of mylakhrions familiars, used to be a wizard slayer

[DC 1]

Yup

[sdkdmd]

who was known as "The knowing one" or "Ugly Head"

[DC 1]

Atmaas(Knowing One) of the ugly head.

[sdkdmd]

take it away DC

[DC 1]

An easy one for some of our newer readers:

What job did Brian do when he left the army and where did he work?

[skinters]

i know the answer to this but dont know if im considered a newer reader or not ha haaaa

[sdkdmd]

anyone can answer skinters.as you can see no one else plays this game.we need more players.
questions can be about Brian's work or Brian himself

[skinters]

alrighty

When he left the army he became a shop security guard in Oxford Street, London.

[DC 1]

Yup. Over to you

[skinters]

ok i can only ask questions on brian himself, as a few of you might or might not know im working my way through the necroscopes,and im 70 odd pages into deadspawn.

what short story was used as a adaption for a television series ?

[DC 1]

Necros ?

[skinters]

it was indeed

[DC 1]

Who is the Lord of Arlyeh

[AlvinFox]

This seems like a trick question for some reason.

I want to say Cthulhu.

[DC 1]

Not a trick.

And your answer is correct

[AlvinFox]

Okay, how about keeping with Cthulhu...

What are the names of Cthulhu's 3 sons and daughter?

[sdkdmd]

Ghatanothoa
Ythogtha
Zoth-Ommog
Cthylla

[skinters]

you know , i looked up the answer to this one and came up with Ghatanotha, Zoth-Ommogg
and Ythogtha. ....i thought naaa that cant be the answer ha haaa....but i couldnt find the daughters name anywhere .

[ April 02, 2005, 12:49 PM: Message edited by: skinters ]

[AlvinFox]

That's right sdkdmd.

You're up.

[AlvinFox]

Oh, skinters.

All are mentioned in the chapter in The Transition of Titus Crow titled "Cthulhu's Cosmic Miscegenation".

Heh, only reason I asked that question was because I just finished reading that.

[sdkdmd]

ok, of the four offspring of Cthulhu which one was created by Brian and which book was it first mention

[skinters]

thats what i do and kinda make my questions obvious in necro knowledge and here ,as my questions are preety obvious coz i make it known where i am where brians work is concerned.

zoth-ammogg,the deciples of cthulhu?

[ April 03, 2005, 12:34 PM: Message edited by: skinters ]

[sdkdmd]

wrong! ;)

[sdkdmd]

three left to choose from....and part of the answer has all ready been given in one of the upper post.

[ April 03, 2005, 03:01 PM: Message edited by: sdkdmd ]

[Helmet Head]

Im gonna go with Cthylla and say that she's first mentioned in the Transistion of Titus Crow...

I don't actually know the answer but I'm taking a wild stab at it anyway

[sdkdmd]

it's yours professor

[Helmet Head]

Way Hey as Veron Kay would say in an annoying Bolton accent, I was helped though as I think all the clues to the answer were given to me by others as it was really just a guess...

Who reluctantly became a deep one and returned to the sea with them???

[DC 1]

Ah, could that be John Vollister you are asking about

smile.gif

[Helmet Head]

2 hours and 37 minutes later and DC gets it, man I gots to try harder with these questions...

[DC 1]

Where would you have found the Holy Pool of Yith-Shesh and what did it contain?

An easy one for a change

[skinters]

ok seeing as nobody has had a go at this one hows this .......Gilf Kebir Plateau is where i think the pool is located .......i think the pool contains a liquid but dont know the name ...i know its not water but a black liquid of sorts

[ April 13, 2005, 04:23 PM: Message edited by: skinters ]

[DC 1]

Yup. You have that

[skinters]

alright just a fun question on brian .

what rank did he reach when he served in the army.

[kenny]

Sergeant???

[skinters]

sergeant-major if you dont mind ha haaaa

on to you ken mate

[kenny]

What sort of topic are we to ask questions on? Is it about Brian himself, if it is then answer this.
What is significant about his signiture?

[ April 18, 2005, 06:23 PM: Message edited by: Kenny ]

[sdkdmd]

you can ask about Brain himself or about any of his work accept necroscope.

the ian over Lumley, the l between the r and i

[Silver]

The significance of his signature is that it's in my books!

[kenny]

You got it Sdkdmd, too easy eh?

Makes the book more special if Brian has signed it.

[sdkdmd]

Who or what is Great Kraken?

[skinters]

the only kraken i know of was of scandanavian lore
a huge horned sea monster so huge it was mistaken for a group of islands.

[sdkdmd]

Kraken. A legendary sea monster of northern seas.

who or...forget the what... is Great Kraken????

[skinters]

Cthulhu ?.... i know im miles off with this but im sure its to do with the mythos and thas all i can come up with .

i aint read the books myself but fun digging around for the answers .

[kenny]

The only reference to Krakens that i can find is in Sorcery in Shad and the Kraken is mentioned(but not great).

[sdkdmd]

Kraken or Great Kraken, they both refer to the same thing.

Great Kraken,a phrase used to denote Great Cthulhu himself.
your weren't off as far as you thought skinters.

your turn.

[topol_sheap]

sdkdmd - you're not asking ambiguous questions again are you? really when someone says that it doesn't mention something, and you say they are right, you should really source where you got it from.

smile.gif

[sdkdmd]

are you picking on me again? :(

ok,i got it from a book ;)

new question...
what book did i get it from? ;)

[sdkdmd]

just kidding skinters, still your turn.

Tops, i got it from the companion, just looking for.. with a little thought, would be an easy question.
i guess i made my mistake with the assumption that if it's in the companion, it's mentions it a book somewhere.

according to the companion

Great Kraken...a phrase used to denote Great Cthulhu himself.

Kraken...see Great Kraken smile.gif

[DC 1]

And here's me thinking that it was Irish for having a good time smile.gif

[Exsanguinator]

A good time the night before at least... tongue.gif

[topol_sheap]

just trying to make it easier for the others sdkdmd - not everyone has access to your extensive library!!! as for the companion, I know for a fact that (well a guess) that some of the info I added is probably lacking some information, but the problem is, where to stop??? very difficult!!! It was also difficult remembering not to tread on other peoples toes when writing it.

Anyway, I wasn't pickikng on you - it was an "angry compliment"... urgh.

[ April 27, 2005, 01:43 PM: Message edited by: Tops ]

[skinters]

jeeez im not gonna ask a question im having to much fun watching you 2 go at it ,hahaaaaaaa grin.gif

[skinters]

which book by brians deals with the great tentacled ones preists,and the mark they bare?

[Exsanguinator]

I remember a short story - The Fairground Horror I think - where there was a priest of the Great Cthulhu with a conch-like symbol in his forehead... Only book I can think of (aside from the ones in the Titus Crow series) would be Demogorgon but its been a long time since I read that...

[sdkdmd]

hey skinters, we are not going at it, it's all in fun, [i think]
but i'm not asking any more questions either, just in case tongue.gif ;)

[ April 28, 2005, 07:59 AM: Message edited by: sdkdmd ]

let's go my man Phil.

next question please grin.gif

[ April 27, 2005, 04:29 PM: Message edited by: sdkdmd ]

[skinters]

your turn pybob

The Fairground Horror, deals with the great tentacled one's priests and the mark they bare.

[ April 27, 2005, 04:25 PM: Message edited by: skinters ]

[skinters]

by the way i love having a go at the questions on brians other works,no matter how hard they seem .
and im finding the story of Cthulhu quite interesting.

[sdkdmd]

i had you in mine when i asked that question, i know you never read any of the stories and i thought you would come up with an answer with a little thought and a guess.
you seem to enjoy these Q&A threads as much as i do. :cool:

[Exsanguinator]

On his DVD Jimmy Carr places an advert in the personals column of a newspaper:

"Albino he-she seeks similar."

Which of Brian's characters can answer that ad?

[Helmet Head]

Charon Gubwa from Pyschosphere...

Quite possibly one of the most loathsome disgusting degenerate things ever created by Brian, the mere thought of him/her makes me feel ill and my skin crawl...

[Exsanguinator]

Only because s/he stood you up... Twice!

Over to you Helm...

[Helmet Head]

Name the arachnid god who is rather fond of a certain Hrossak???

[skinters]

would it be Atlach-Nacha by any chance ?

[Helmet Head]

Nope

[Exsanguinator]

Ahhora Izz - not sure on spelling, but he was impressed by Tarra's kinship with the beasties, developed on the steppe's back home where they would give him a sting and he developed an immunity - or rather a tolerence to their venom.

More than anything where others would try and stamp on the scorpians and squish em off Tarra respected them - and that's why Izz took a shine..?

[Helmet Head]

Correct...your go

[Exsanguinator]

Who was Teh Ahth's poison-pen-letter pen-pal?

[kenny]

I'm going to say Orbiquita, probably wrong though.

[DC 1]

Could be Hatr-ad.

If I'm right, I will not be able to set a question as I'm off on my holi-bobs to Greece.

So I would nominate Kenny to set the next Question

[Exsanguinator]

DC's right - so I guess that means over to you Kenny... (I really wish that sentence sounded better but it makes sense when reading the previous post!)

[kenny]

We'll keep it easy(from the same book).Who were the two most senior members of the lamia council of five?

[kenny]

Anyone going to have a stab at this?????

[sdkdmd]

i'll try if you give me a clue, im always ready to answer one if i can.

[Silver]

I reckon they're the true sisters but even though I've recently read the book I can't remember their names! I think one begins with a "G" but I may be clutching at straws here.

[kenny]

Ok a clue, One begins with I and the other H and they both end SS.

[sdkdmd]

i must be looking in the wrong place :confused:

[sdkdmd]

hissiliss and iniquiss

[kenny]

Over to you sd.

[sdkdmd]

Brian and S. King both have a story by the same name. what is it it?

[sdkdmd]

reading back i guess you have to know King as well to answer this question????

So i'll give a small clue


it's about a MAN and he's RUNNING

[ May 22, 2005, 06:25 PM: Message edited by: sdkdmd ]

[Helmet Head]

The Running Man perhaps???

[Exsanguinator]

Bachman Turner Overdrive? And I thought I'd seen it all...

[kenny]

[skinters]

sorry its my turn,SD can you ask a question,ive been up to my eyeballs in work and cant get round to thinking one up . :rolleyes:

[sdkdmd]

ok, who is Adonda Gomba?

[Helmet Head]

Wasn't he the slave master who turned out to be the bad assed black sorcerer???

[sdkdmd]

good enough
slave master from the city of Asorbes, he took in Khai and help him escape down the river where he meets Mhyna
your turn

[Helmet Head]

Can you name David's worm??????

[sdkdmd]

did david turn into a tapeworm or something like that
i'll have to look

[Helmet Head]

Ermmmm no...

David's Worm was probably one of the most horrible short stories I've ever read, saying that though i did love it even though it disturbed me to my very core.

[sdkdmd]

planny??

[Helmet Head]

CORRECT!!!

Your go...

[sdkdmd]

Who, or should i say what are Ron and Mikh

[kenny]

Give 'us' a clue sd?

[sdkdmd]

tell me if this helps you

one of "three stories in fifty words each"

[DC 1]

Amoebas

[sdkdmd]

there's DC, been awhile, your up

[DC 1]

Who was Robos and what as his girfriends name.

[kenny]

Hi DC, it's now 10 days since you posted your Q. Any chance of a small clue to help us along the right path?

[DC 1]

His girlfriend was "Built like a fortress" according to Tarra Khash

[sdkdmd]

i know his girls name, Gulla Adz

[DC 1]

So if your answer was "The boyfriend of Gulla Adz", you would have answered both parts of the question.

[sdkdmd]

What!! a trick question

Yeah, thats what i meant

[DC 1]

No-one said owt about not askin trick (ish) questions.

Your go old mate

[topol_sheap]

maybe we should have a new rule... after all, I'm pretty sure there'sa 3 day turn around on these questions now, and trick questions make it trickier ;O)

[sdkdmd]

Sorry all you players for the delay ;)

in what way does Eldin enter Dreamland

[ June 30, 2005, 04:34 PM: Message edited by: sdkdmd ]

[topol_sheap]

I would answer this, but my delay would be bad.

[DC 1]

Was it by way of a fatal crash

[Helmet Head]

Through dreams silly!!! ;)

[ July 02, 2005, 11:58 AM: Message edited by: The Helm ]

[DC 1]

Obviously but he dies in the end you know smile.gif

[sdkdmd]

I see a lot of nothing here.
i'm starting to wonder if you guys, you know who you are, even know the answer.
:rolleyes: tongue.gif ;)

[DC 1]

You see, there could be more than one answer to this:

The 2 above being right even though I know it's not what you expected old son.

L Dingle does dream and enter dreamland this way
He does die and enters dreamland this way
He normally enters via the Gate of Deep Slumber but hey, the others are right in their own way
smile.gif

[sdkdmd]

the Gate is what i was looking for, so i guess its your turn

[DC 1]

What was unusual about Nichos Karpeths' passport photograph?

[Helmet Head]

I've never read Necros so I wouldn't know :(

[ichbinwamphyri]

youve never read the necro's?!!??!

[Exsanguinator]

Think he's refering to the short story 'Nekros' as opposed to the Necroscope novels...

[sdkdmd]

it showed him as a younger man?

[DC 1]

Yup. He was an old man in the story but his passport showed he should have been young.I won't expand on this as it may spoil the story for anyone who has not read it yet

[sdkdmd]

that guy who got his picture taken, what was his full name?

[DC 1]

Peter Beardsley smile.gif

Ugly bloke who used to play for Newcastle and England. Actually made Quasimodo look handsome

[sdkdmd]

That's nice....wrong answer. :cool:

[topol_sheap]

oooh. I know this. beardsley smile.gif

and I am back baby! (not you you've ever resembled a baby!)

[DC 1]

I don't think Aubrey Vincent Beardsley was ever photographed. The madman concerned was actually interperating Beardsleys "art" in his own way.
Granted, using bodies etc, but art non the less

Must be another answer to this

Does that make any sense?

[ July 20, 2005, 07:40 PM: Message edited by: DC ]

[topol_sheap]

makes sense to me!

[sdkdmd]

Well, when you come up with another answer you let me know

[DC 1]

Angus McGowan had his picture taken and 30 years later, hadn't aged a day.

Nichos Karpeths had his picyure taken and although he looked ancient, his picture told another story

There are probably more if people want to look for them

Which one do you want smile.gif

[sdkdmd]

i choose your ....first answer

i wonder why Brian did'nt call it "The Man Who Never Actually Photographed Beardsley"
:confused: :confused:

[DC 1]

I know. Very strange but I suppose he did photograph Beardsleys work so it's probably apt.

In my previous post I mentioned Angus McGowan. What book did he write and who published it.

[Helmet Head]

Technically this is a necroscope question...tut tut Keith

[DC 1]

I know but hey, as long as Tops aint watchin, someone can answer it.

[sdkdmd]

wild dogs and big cats????
greentree pub????

i think i got the right ones.

[sdkdmd]

hurry up before "HE" shows up :eek: :eek:

[DC 1]

Yup, that will do nicely

[sdkdmd]

Ghoul Warning was dedicated to Richard, who is he and why was it dedicated to him

[DC 1]

Brians son, Richard, who without his fathers knowledge saved the poetry, and some stories, that Brian had screwed up and thrown in the bin.

When Brian came to have Ghoul Warnings published he thought he did not have enough content until Richard showed him the items he had "saved"

Hence: "For Richard. For saving them"

[sdkdmd]

over to you DC

[DC 1]

Who went up the Mount of Ancients to look for the Origin and Aftermath, the Beginning and the End

[sdkdmd]

teh atht

[DC 1]

Your go

[sdkdmd]

in 1976 Born of the Winds was nominated for a World Fantasy Award, Brian did'nt find out about it until 10 years later.
How did he find out?
and
What was the story that won?

[ July 31, 2005, 02:19 PM: Message edited by: sdkdmd ]

[DC 1]

I think the winner was Fritz Lieber with Belsen Express.

He found out when he was given a copy of the '86 WFC program containing a history of WFC and saw it had been nominated back in 76

[sdkdmd]

you think right DC

[DC 1]

How did the 1990 edition of Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos differ from the original edition.

(remembering of course that this is about BL)

[sdkdmd]

a tough one for me, i don't own either neither whatever, book, but i want that original.

[DC 1]

The answer is still obtainable from another source.

[sdkdmd]

the orginal contained Sister City and Cement Surrounding.
the revised just Rising with Surtsey

i always assumed that the same stories were in both editions

[ August 05, 2005, 10:58 PM: Message edited by: sdkdmd ]

Ya learn summit new everyday.

I never realised until I bought the 1990 edition.

[sdkdmd]

where did Ron and Mikh first appear

OK your turn

[DC 1]

Which story came 2nd in the BFA 1983 Best Short Fiction Category

[DC 1]

Yup.

[sdkdmd]

how are the stories Cyprus Shell and Deep Sea Conch connected?

[Helmet Head]

There about shells??? grin.gif

[DC 1]

One thing...They were both published by Derleth's Arkham House ...... smile.gif

And...They were both in Fruiting Bodies (93) smile.gif

Oh, and they were both written as letters (Deep Sea Conch as a reply to Cyprus Shell smile.gif

Oh, they were written by Brian Lumley smile.gif

[DC 1]

OK answer 3 it is then.

What (or who) delayed Brian writing stories about vampires by 20 years?

Nice easy one this

[kenny]

Beeeecause he joined the army??????????

[DC 1]

Nope. Good guess though

[kenny]

Damn!

[ichbinwamphyri]

off topic i got into an hour long debate with a friend here it is... who would win in a fight a wamphyri lord or a preditor???

Nooooooooo !

Ok, It was another author.

[sdkdmd]

OK i'm here
another author?, is that the answer or a clue
well necroscope was in 86, so you are referring to 1966 through 1986

[topol_sheap]

ichbinwamphyri,

You need to wait your turn to ask a question in this thread. You need to answer the quesiotn right, and then it's your go... those are the simple rules. have a hunt around this thread for the full rules.

Thanks

Tops

[DC 1]

The question stands as is.

I have given the only clue I can save for answering it myself.

If you have listened to Brian talk, listened to his interviews or read his interviews, he normally mentions this fact.

[Helmet Head]

Richard Matheson?????

[DC 1]

Yup. I am legend was the book and I believe Brian thought of it as the perfect vampire novel.

Your go Pinky

[Helmet Head]

Cheers Perky...

Who got a little to obsessed with cars after someone close to him died in a fatal accident???

[sdkdmd]

Arnold Goyle

[Helmet Head]

Yup your up...

[sdkdmd]

what was the name of Brians attempt at a porno story

[DC 1]

The Luststone

[sdkdmd]

Luststone was a result of the answer im looking for

[topol_sheap]

sdkdmd,

I've been speaking with DC about this offline ;) And we both think the answer is The Luststone. Granted I've not checked the intro to this in the collection I have it in, but I am sure it's never gone under any other name, although I will be happy to be proved wrong ;)

Come on man, don't keep me in suspense.

Tops

[sdkdmd]

Ive heard Brian talk about this a couple of times, most recently at HorrorFind on a question and answer panel he was on, Brian and I even talked about this being a good question on the board.
So,the answer is...............

[sdkdmd]

Rot in Hell

[DC 1]

The strange thing about this is that Rot in Hell was written in 1982 and the Luststone in 1981.

Its strange that a story written first was a result of a later work?

Never mind, it would seem that noone got this right so unless there are objections, it must be your go smile.gif

[sdkdmd]

im almost sure Brian said that Luststone was a result of Rot, and now you got me wondering.

where did you find that Rot was written in 82
i dont know of any reference to the story anywhere

[DC 1]

I can tell you the answer but I will have to kill you afterwards smile.gif

Think Leigh Blackmore. The answer is there, if slightly hidden away

[sdkdmd]
