Lumlian knowledge III 3/8/01

[Nathan]

Just to keep it easy to read through, it's time to start a new one. Let me run through the rules for anyone new coming in...

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 any question about anything Lumley except Avengers...we need to wait a while on that one.
There is also a thread for 'Necroscope knowledge' that you can play along with, but don't hesitate to throw one in here from the Necroscopes if you want to...anything Lumley...

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

Here's the standing question from the wonderful and talented Eric von darkmoor...

"name the owner and his dog from Kettlethorpe farm..if u cant remember the story its from,heres a clue...clang, clang, clang..
and before anyone asks no its not the clangers...."

Good Luck!!

[Eric von darkmoor]

[Emaleth]

since I have yet to read his short stories..I'll just lurk :-D

but obviously... something to do with a train? Or a trolley? The clanging I mean

[Nathan]

I'm gonna assume it's from Dagon's Bell but I haven't read it yet either...plus I got in trouble for answering too many questions, so I won't even try to look it up.

Where's our resident short story expert? Aaaaaalllllvvviiiiiiiiiiinn!! Climb outta that hole and answer this question!

[AlvinFox]

*pokes head out of hole and looks around*

Are you talking about Jason Carpenter and his dog Bones?

[Eric von darkmoor]

most certainly, alvinfox "you now have the healm"..my good fellow..over to you.

dang, dang goes the bell of dagon.

[AlvinFox]

Oh goody. There is a well known Wamphyri name in "The Last Rite". What is it?

[Canker]

Dracul?

[AlvinFox]

That was a guess, wasn't it?

[Canker]

I'm not answering that!!!!!!!!! *L*

But it is the answer isn't it???!!!!!!


The Dog-Lord strikes again!!!!!

AAAWWWWHHHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

[AlvinFox]

Actually, no, that isn't the answer.

[Canker]

OK well I tried........


How about The Ferenc?


AAAWWWHHHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eric von darkmoor]

now that was really amusing.....

I havent read the book so i cant be of any help either...

[AlvinFox]

Close enough Canker. The passage reads:

"Truly, then, Throdag House and The Chamber of Night were not places for normal men but veritable Devil's Pits, and the dripstone chamber itself could only fairly be compared with the grottoes of Endor, Kith's Labyrinth, or the dungeons of Baron Ferenczy."

[Canker]

In Fruiting Bodies and Other Fungi there is a story about a mirror.....


At the end of the story the main character sees a face or visage staring back at him from within the mirror.

What and who does the image/visage remind him of?


AAAAWWWHHHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eric von darkmoor]

wasnt it 2 faces joined as one? the explorer and the queen of nitocritis.

[Canker]

Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


AAAWWWHHHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Eric von darkmoor]

In the disproval of Jeremy Cleave (short story).


By the animation of which spare body parts.

Did the dead fellow " jeremy cleave" showed his disproval of with reference to his wifes antics after he died?

If you have read the story you probably wont find the question as wierd as it looks

chuckle..
