anyone, no answers so far. Have I stumped everyone again. Get it? "stumped" its a clue to the question i asked...

[Vim]

I think it was his glass eye and his false leg. I only read it a little while ago... I've got a memeory like a seive..... I've really got to stop sniffing the Ajax!

[Eric von darkmoor]

correct vim, as they say "you now have the com". Over to you for the next question..

perhaps the holes in the sieve were a little blocked...

[Vim]

Okey Dokey then....

How do the picknickers enjoy their meals?

Mmmmmm, yummy!

(Clue: They'd have trouble with a packet of Cadbury's Mini Eggs!)

[Eric von darkmoor]

they drill holes in the coffins and suck out the insider through there long big white worm like appendages, big worms eh?

They might have a problem with the packet but certainly not the eggs inside...

[Vim]

Right on the money, EVD!

I always keep my Cadbury's Cream Eggs and Mini Eggs under close watch lest a stray tendril trys to rob me of the gorgeous creamy filling!

Over to you EVD...

[Eric von darkmoor]

in the story "the big C"

where did the big C actually come from?

by this im really asking 2 questions. if you have read it then the question will make complete sense..

[BadMushroom]

From within the guys body (his own personal "Big C") and from "Outer space"....

Do you need me to be more specific?

I'd hate to spoil it for anyone who hasn't read this brilliant story...

[Eric von darkmoor]

take it away mr shroom the stage is yours..

[BadMushroom]

Ok. I'll start off with an easy one.

This one should be a "breeze" to all you devotees of the CCD... (crappy pun/clue thoroughly intended).

Which member of the CCD was responsible, or given the 'honour' of sending it's 'Avatars' to destroy Blowne House and why were Crow and De Marigny's Star Stones protection ineffective?

Bonus point for the CCD responsible name correctly spelt... WITHOUT CHECKING!

Good Luck.

[Nathan]

Nyarlothotep?

The 'correct spelling' thing might have given it away...if it's right. Or even spelled right!

The rest just won't come to the front of my head. Something that cancelled them out...can't remember.

[Eric von darkmoor]

wasnt it shud' em ell, the burrower that sent ith'aqua the wind elemental to destroy
blowne house. The reason that the stones failed was that they were substituted with fake ones. crow and de marigny jumped in the timepiece and escaped.

All of the above is from memory so im probably wrong on the reasons

[BadMushroom]

Sorry Nathan, an admirable attempt. Good try!

EVD, your memory serves you very well! Big fat 'burrower-shaped' cigars for you.

It was indeed Ithaqua ('The Wind Walker': Told you it would be a breeze!). The Star-stones had indeed been replaced with fakes, forcing our brave duo to risk escaping in the Clock..., Only for De Marigny to re-appear 10 years later in the Thames (with limbs broken!)with no memory of the intervening time.

But that, as they say, is (quite literally) another story.

It's with you again, Evd!!!

[Nathan]

Well, did I spell it correctly at least? That's really all I was hopin' for!

[Eric von darkmoor]

im suprised i honestly remembered that correctly.. (done impresssing myself for now)

since we are on the theme of cthulhu lands.

my question is from Hero of dreams

When hero and eldin went after the first wand in the "hero of dreams" what did they dine on before enter the keep of the wizard.

Bonus points if you can give me the names of the unfortunate creatures that they ate.

[Goth Girl]

Hehehe... methinks that would be snow leopard steaks!

Hritta and Nythlar were their names. OK, I looked the last bits up, nasty rotten cheat that I am, but I knew the first bit!

[Jason of Khem]

Just a quickie. Read the Big C last night in a HPL compendium. It came from Luna II.

[Eric von darkmoor]

firstly jase correct. but outer space was good enough, also inside the guy was the trick part.

Secondly GG correct, to be honest i had to look up the names of the leopards too as i want too sure. anyway. over to you as they say "GG you now have the com"...

[Goth Girl]

Okies, sorry to keep y'all waiting...

Staying in the Dreamlands (sorry, laughing too much cos I almost typed Creamlands, and that's a different type of Massagae Board!)...

What crime was the legless firebug accused of?

Yeah, yeah, an easy one I know, but I'm feeling delicate!

[Eric von darkmoor]

can't have read that one yet. damn, damn. unless your talking about that bug thing that came out of the great red cyrstal??? erm, perhaps i should go back to reading the hero books...
