The Dark Tower Trivia Thread ***SPOILERS***

[ZoNeSeeK]

Sweet!

What word was inscribed on the giant fish statue in Lud?

[Wuducynn]

Delight

[Daghain]

Geez, I leave for two minutes... :D

[ZoNeSeeK]

CK is up

[Wuducynn]

**Passes the feather to Daghain** :cool:

[Daghain]

Oh thanks, now I have to come up with a question....

[Daghain]

Okay, here you go:

Who got killed on his birthday?

[Matt]

Rolands Dad?

[Jean]

Winston

[Daghain]

You get a gold star for the day, Jean, and the feather. Nice job! :)

[Jean]

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Misc/goldstar.gif

I got a star from Irish Dawn! http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_wub.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_wub.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_wub.gif

Next Question:

who was buried under a chickenhouse?

[Daghain]

Wow, you really have a picture for everything, don't you. :D

I know this one, but I can't think of the guy's name. Rats!

[Tvmorbid]

Was it Andy the Messenger Robot (many other functions)?

[Jean]

no, Tvmorbid, it was the guy Daghain http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_wub.gif is thinking of... Hint: there's a reason why you can't think of his name. A brief description of the circumstances will do. http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_original.gif

[Daghain]

I wondered if the guy even had a name. :)

It was a guy who went to see Balzar, said something Balzar didn't like, and Balzar shot him. Cirri and another guy buried him under a chicken house, because Balzar wanted the guy buried somplace where he would eternally get what's coming to him. :)

[Jean]

right! he did something worse than just saying something Balazar didn't like (can you remember what?) but essentially it is absolutely correct! http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif

[Wuducynn]

**Cough** Tower of cards **Cough** :D

[Daghain]

Oh yeah, that's right! My bad. :)

Okay, here's a softball for you:

What airline was Eddie flying when Roland first came into his head?

[Spencer]

What was the expletive that Pat Delgado was most fond of?

Horseshit? :lol:

[Spencer]

Oh yeah, that's right! My bad. :)

Okay, here's a softball for you:

What airline was Eddie flying when Roland first came into his head?

Delta

[Daghain]

The feather is yours. :)

[Spencer]

What was Henry Dean's only Trivial Pursuit response that was NOT "Johnny Cash"?

[VolsToTheWall]

I wondered if the guy even had a name. :)


He was simply called "The Mick".

[ZoNeSeeK]

Yeah, he coughed or banged the desk or did something on purpose to ruin Balazar's card tower. Darwin award!

[MonteGss]

What was Henry Dean's only Trivial Pursuit response that was NOT "Johnny Cash"?

Walter Brennan.

*grabs the feather* :)


What would you be called in Mid-World if you were born a Siamese twin?

[Tvmorbid]

A mutie? :P

[MonteGss]

Say sorry, you are incorrect Tv. :P

[Wuducynn]

Kaffin Twins

[Wuducynn]

Who threatened to fill Grand Army Plaza with dead bodies and why?

[alinda]

Me, cuz I am reallllly po'd about some stuff!!
was it Mort? because he missed the train?
:unsure: Sorry I am not sure at all again.

[Wuducynn]

Good try but no.

[MonteGss]

Who threatened to fill Grand Army Plaza with dead bodies and why?

I guess I can peek in to answer...seeing that I just listened to this two days ago. Eddie was the person who said this. He was trying to make it clear that if Balazar didn't leave Calvin Tower alone, he and the tet would kill all of Balazar and company's families, enough to fill Grand Army Plaza.

The feather is yours my fine, feathered friend.

[MonteGss]

I like feathers, they're soft.


What item did Eddie once lose at Coney Island?


*edit*
(Maybe the bold type is too confusing to some people...as it sits too close to my bold sig.)

[Wuducynn]

Thats nice. Were you planning on posting a new question or regaling us on your love of feathers?

[MonteGss]

Um, it is already posted. Dumbass.
:)

[Wuducynn]

There WAS no question posted dumbass. Cute edit job though.

[MonteGss]

Yes, there was. Truly. The only edit I did was underneath where it says *edit*
You glazed over it my friend, it was there.
:)

[Wuducynn]

*pats Monte* I understand...if it makes you feel more like a man, we'll just say thats what happened..it was your bold type above the sig. Right.

[ZoNeSeeK]

Eddie lost Charlie the Choo-Choo ?

[MonteGss]

Sorry Zone, that is not the answer I am looking for. The item Eddie lost is related to another which Susannah has near her heart. :)

[Wuducynn]

I remember Eddie talking about losing something at Coney Island but I can't remember what it is and I couldn't find anything about it on every single internet I searched...so I'll guess a ring?

[Chassit]

Ya know, I just read this and cannot recall....


XIX

[ZoNeSeeK]

do you find out what it is when eddie and jake appear in Susannah's dreams after they have both died?

[Chassit]

Actually, as I recall it came up in DOTT...But I have read The Gunslinger, DOTT and am a third of the way through The Wastelands all in about the last week...

XIX

[MonteGss]

I remember Eddie talking about losing something at Coney Island but I can't remember what it is and I couldn't find anything about it on every single internet I searched...so I'll guess a ring?

CK is correct. It is mentioned in SoS. Eddie is mourning the "loss" of the ring he gave to Susannah (Mia threw it on the ground) and he remembered his class ring. Nice guess CK! ;)
Feather falls to you.

[Chassit]

Damn, guess I was totally off base ;)


XIX

[MonteGss]

It happens to the best of us Chassit. :)

[ZoNeSeeK]

Bugger :P go CK

[Wuducynn]

Where is a wandering minstrel from the South Plains met? What happens to him?

[ZoNeSeeK]

argh, all of these are tickling a memory but i cant remember :P

[Wuducynn]

That's what The Feather is for, to tickle your memory.

[VolsToTheWall]

That's what The Feather is for, to tickle your memory.

Seems I recall you using the feather once to tickle something else. :lol:

[Wuducynn]

That's what The Feather is for, to tickle your memory.

Seems I recall you using the feather once to tickle something else. :lol:

Lets keep that bit of sweetness between us shall we ASH? Something special between us...

[MonteGss]

Sick.
Good question CK, I thought I had it for a second but it wasn't where I thought it was. :(

[VolsToTheWall]

Where is a wandering minstrel from the South Plains met? What happens to him?
They met him in Lovell on Route 7, and you are referring to Chevin of Chayven, a former minstrel of the South Plains. In regards to his fate, he was introduced to the clearing at the end of the path via a slug to his forehead, curtesy of old long, tall, and ugly.

[Wuducynn]

VERY well put!! Gives the feather to The ASH.

[MonteGss]

Ah ha!
Dark Tower 7. Great job AgedVols.

[VolsToTheWall]

Say thankya Monte. ;)

[ZoNeSeeK]

Go vols!

[VolsToTheWall]

What becomes insipid after the moon dips beneath the horizon?

[MonteGss]

Good question. I expect nothing but the "non-Booksearch-able, possible rewording, go fucking look" type of question* from you AV.







*unless you know the answer off the top of your head, of course. ;)

[VolsToTheWall]

Yeah, you should know me well enough by now Monte. ;)

[ZoNeSeeK]

the air or the light?

[MonteGss]

What becomes insipid after the moon dips beneath the horizon?

celebration?

[ZoNeSeeK]

the conversation? :P

[VolsToTheWall]

the conversation? :P

Aye Zone. *Passes Zone the feather.*

[ZoNeSeeK]

:P

How does Blaine punish the ka-tet for Jake pointing out the AI's mistake?

[MonteGss]

Nice job Zone. :)

[VolsToTheWall]

How does Blaine respond to Jake pointing out the AI's mistake?
Blaine withdraws his offer of a sexual experience. :P

[ZoNeSeeK]

Yeah, that is correct aswell, but he does something a little nastier, I will rephrase question.

[Daghain]

Don't do that, you'll get CK excited. :)

[Wuducynn]

Oh Miss Smart-Ass decides to pipe up hunh? :lol:

[Wuducynn]

Blaine turns up the volume while at the Falls of the Hounds.

[MonteGss]

Yeah Daghain....maybe instead of hurling insults at poor old pansy CK, you could take a stab at the current question. :P

*edit*
Say sorry....CK already grabbed it. :)

[Wuducynn]

Yeah Daghain....maybe instead of hurling insults at poor old pansy CK, you could take a stab at the current question. :P

*edit*
Say sorry....CK already grabbed it. :)

Oops...now take your foot and shove it in your mouth like a good little bitch..

[MonteGss]

Lemme alone.
http://bestsmileys.com/crying/15.gif

[Wuducynn]

:rofl:

[Wuducynn]

Alright, I'm pretty sure I got the right answer so I'll post mine...

Who is surprised by looking at an American quarter and why?

[Daghain]

See how you are, Monte. I was patiently waiting for a question and you come and insult me. I'm hurt. :)

Pere Callahan, because he didn't want to give an "newer" quarter to anyone when he went to Maine?

[Wuducynn]

Pere Callahan, because he didn't want to give an "newer" quarter to anyone when he went to Maine?


No, very good try though. This is someone who was surprised by what they saw on the quarter.

[MonteGss]

See how you are, Monte. I was patiently waiting for a question and you come and insult me. I'm hurt. :)



:(
:P

[Daghain]

Damn, so close and yet so far. :)

[Daghain]

LOL Monte, I forgive you. :)

[ZoNeSeeK]

Susannah, because Regan was on there.

[Wuducynn]

Susannah, because Regan was on there.

Good try but no.

[Daghain]

Roland, who saw the eagle on the back that reminded him of his own banner.

[MonteGss]

And the Content Manager comes thru with an answer! :thumbsup: :rock:

[Wuducynn]

Roland, who saw the eagle on the back that reminded him of his own banner.

Great job Daghain!

[Daghain]

Thanks!

What was Ted Brautigan's profession?

[Wuducynn]

Prostitute

[Daghain]

No. :nope:

[Wuducynn]

Damn.

[Daghain]

:rofl:

[VolsToTheWall]

What was Ted Brautigan's profession?
Didn't he tell Bobby's Mom that he used to be an accountant?

[Daghain]

The feather is yours, Vols.

Actually, it's mentioned in DT7 as well. :)

[VolsToTheWall]

The feather is yours, Vols.

Actually, it's mentioned in DT7 as well. :)
I was recalling the part from HIA where Bobbys Mom was grillin' him about his job and such.

[Daghain]

In DT7 he refers to himself as the wandering accountant. :lol:

[VolsToTheWall]

Who was laid to rest beneath an apple tree, so that they would be able to enjoy the blossoms decorating the ground when spring rolls around?

[Wuducynn]

Susannah's dog, Pimsy?

[VolsToTheWall]

Susannah's dog, Pimsy?
Aye. Feather to ya CSH. May you use it to tickle that which strikes your fancy. ;)

[Wuducynn]

Which characters are of the Line of Eld by blood?

[Matt]

Of the Katet? I am convinced they all were.

Technically only Roland I believe--also the spider boy

[Wuducynn]

I meant by blood and I meant everyone who in the series is of the Line of Eld that we know about. You have two. I edited my question.

[VolsToTheWall]

Which characters are of the Line of Eld by blood?
I'll try and name 'em all. Here we go:
Roland Deschain
Alaric Deschain
Henry Deschain
Steven Deschain
The Crimson King, The Red King, Lord of the Spiders, Los the Red, Lord of Discordia (happy now CSH ;))
Mordred Deschain
Did I leave one out CSH?

[Wuducynn]

Great job ASH. The Feather is yours.

[Wuducynn]

Although the "Crimson King" is a title his name is Los. To be nicky-picky..

[VolsToTheWall]

Say thankya CSH. :D
I will post a new question shortly, but since you brought this topic up, I had a question on my mind. Both Henry and Alaric were said to be Roland's Grandfather. Was one actually the great-grandfather? I have looked for this but can't find clarification, they are both mentioned as his Grandfather in the text as far as I can see.

[VolsToTheWall]

I edited my answer to make you happy, is that better? ;)

I know I was just being a smart-ass I don't care ASH. Henry was Rolands Grandfather on his Mothers side and Alaric on his Fathers? I always thought that.

[Wuducynn]

Or maybe Alaric was his Great Grandfather?

[VolsToTheWall]

Henry was Rolands Grandfather on his Mothers side and Alaric on his Fathers? I always thought that.
Henry Deschain is listed as Roland's paternal Grandfather in the Concordance. Also, in the new version of The Gunslinger we are told that Roland's maternal Grandfather was called Alan Veriss. This is just a continuity error that bugged me and I haven't found an answer other than it is just that, an error.

Yep, just a boo-boo. Not even close to being the one that irritates me though, that one being the one in Wolves and DT7...but anyway...your question?

[VolsToTheWall]

Or maybe Alaric was his Great Grandfather?
I was thinking that maybe he was supposed to be Roland's Great-Grandfather, but in the book he is identified as his Grandfather.

[VolsToTheWall]

What was the name of the substance that was corrupting the terra firma of Mid-World?

[Wuducynn]

Good question..I'll let others have the fun. I do know the answer though.

[VolsToTheWall]

Good question..I'll let others have the fun. I do know the answer though.
Alright, in the meantime you can make up a family tree of Roland's line for me, k?

[Wuducynn]

Sure. How much money do you have? Cause I'll take three quarters..

[Daghain]

Man, like I have time to research this one. I have an instructor for my last five week class who thinks she's flipping Hitler's secretary LOL. Busy work abounds in my neighborhood!

[MonteGss]

Good question Ageless!
Also, I was always a bit annoyed with the grandfather thing as well. Maybe the word great-grandfather doesn't exist in Mid-World. Maybe they just say Grandfather for all their fathers fathers? :unsure:

[ZoNeSeeK]

Or maybe Alaric was his Great Grandfather?
I was thinking that maybe he was supposed to be Roland's Great-Grandfather, but in the book he is identified as his Grandfather.

Perhaps roland had two paternal grandfathers, with the help of a surrogate and some flexible personal liberties in canada? :)

[ZoNeSeeK]

What was the name of the substance that was corrupting the terra firma of Mid-World?

Has this got anything to do with devar-toi ? i.e. something the breakers are creating? Or is it just a term for like a general malaise?

[Wuducynn]

If I'm thinking the same as Vols it's something to do with the Great Old Ones.

[Wuducynn]

Actually, that's a pretty good explanation Monte.. :thumbsup:

[VolsToTheWall]

Also, I was always a bit annoyed with the grandfather thing as well. Maybe the word great-grandfather doesn't exist in Mid-World. Maybe they just say Grandfather for all their fathers fathers?
That's a good point Monte. That's a possible explanation. I can't remember Great-Grandfather being used in reference to anyone in Roland's bloodline. I do, however, remember Walter using the term Great-Grandfather during their palaver, when he was referencing the Great Old Ones and the things that they created.



Has this got anything to do with devar-toi ? i.e. something the breakers are creating? Or is it just a term for like a general malaise?
This has nothing to do with Devar-Toi. The term I am looking for is the name of an actual substance.




If I'm thinking the same as Vols it's something to do with the Great Old Ones.
Yes, it does have something to do with the Great Old Ones. I believe you have what I intended in mind CK. ;)

[MonteGss]

Jeez, no takers yet on the current question? :)

[Matt]

The Red Death?

[ZoNeSeeK]

Yeah im at a loss

[Wuducynn]

DEP3?

[VolsToTheWall]

DEP3?
Aye. Great job as usual CK. :D
*Tosses the feather to CK.*

[Wuducynn]

Thanks ASH.


What is the name of the carnival that Callahan worked for? Where was Callahan when he chose to leave this carnival?

[ZoNeSeeK]

Callahan worked for a carnival? :)

[Wuducynn]

Yes indeedy!

[MonteGss]

Thanks ASH.


What is the name of the carnival that Callahan worked for? Where was Callahan when he chose to leave this carnival?

Chumm's Traveling Wonder Show. He was in Yazoo City, Mississippi when he finally leaves the show.

Do I speak true, sai shit-head?
:lol:

[ZoNeSeeK]

I gotta get me this concordance :)

[MonteGss]

I gotta get me this concordance :)

Me too!

[Matt]

Its an amazing book. My son flipped through it and was all..."this isn't a book, its an encyclopedia" :lol:

[Daghain]

I just got it and Bev's book. The concordance is very cool - it IS like a DT encyclopedia.

As soon as I finish rereading DT7, I'm going to read Bev's book. :)

[VolsToTheWall]

Yeah The Concordance is indeed very cool, and of course helpful with the thread we are now in. ;) When you know where the answer is, but are too lazy to look in the actual book, The Concordance can sometimes help out. It's just such a wealth of info, highly recommended. :thumbsup:

[MonteGss]

It really is unlike CK to not give me the OK to give my question. I'm pretty sure I'm correct. I'll wait a bit more...just in case.
:)

[VolsToTheWall]

Well we know you're right Monte. CK must be occupied with something at the moment. Only God knows what. ;) So go ahead and pose us with a question.

[MonteGss]

OK, how about this one:

Who/what were the Imperium and what was their terrible miscalculation?

[Wuducynn]

Sorry Monte and everyone else, I've been away camping for the past four days. You're right on and good question! :cool:

[MonteGss]

Welcome back!

[ZoNeSeeK]

The imperium was the great nation the old one's were a part of, wasn't it? I'd guess they miscalculated the power of Maerlyn and the Wizard's Rainbow or something? Or miscalculated the tower?

[MonteGss]

Aye, you say true. I was looking for the Tower being their great miscalculation.

*Passes feather*

[Aaron]

Yeah, weren't they the ones who were stupid enough to think that they could tear down the Tower and rebuild it?

<_<

feckin' morons...

[ZoNeSeeK]

Who holds a knife to Reynold's throat?

[Brice]

Alain Johns

[Matt]

Eddie on the beach--Roland is out at the time. :D

One of my most favorite scenes. Even though I knew Roland was the hero, King had me seriously thinking Eddie might kill him at that point.

[Wuducynn]

You might want to look at the question a little closer ;)

[Matt]

Hmmm...knife to throat? Not sure then

Still one of my favorite scenes though

[Wuducynn]

The answer was already given..good job Brice!

[Matt]

But...Eddie also holds a knife to Rolands throat right? :lol:

[Wuducynn]

But...Eddie also holds a knife to Rolands throat right? :lol:

NO!






:P

[Matt]

Hmmmm...I may need to re read DotT then :lol:

[Wuducynn]

You know there is a scene like that in DoTT Matt... :rolleyes:

[Wuducynn]

Brice post a question before this madness spreads! :lol:

[Matt]

Just messing around there All Hail. :lol:

Yes! New question :ninja:

[VolsToTheWall]

Hmmm...knife to throat? Not sure then

Still one of my favorite scenes though
The throat in question belonged to Reynolds. Re-read the question Matt. Must be the paint fumes from your remodeling or something else you inhaled. :lol:

[Matt]

Holy shit you guys, sorry about that. Thanks for explaining it plainly Vols :lol:

I have been busy, no excuse.

[MonteGss]

Hmmm...knife to throat? Not sure then

Still one of my favorite scenes though
The throat in question belonged to Reynolds. Re-read the question Matt. Must be the paint fumes from your remodeling or something else you inhaled. :lol:

Vols...didn't you catch Brice's answer to this?
See below.

[MonteGss]

Alain Johns

This was his answer, it was at the bottom of the last page.
;)

[Matt]

I'm sure everyone saw it Monte, I just muddied the waters with my misread on Reynolds name. :lol:

[Matt]

Double post because I killed the thread with my wild accusations :lol:

**hopes Brice comes back soon**

whispers:
we must never speak of this agian

[VolsToTheWall]

Hmmm...knife to throat? Not sure then

Yeah, I just wanted to poke fun at Matt. Like a layup, couldn't resist. :lol:

[ZoNeSeeK]

Alain Johns

This is correct :P

[Brice]

Sorry it took so long. Here's my question

What is there a mile off the road on the town side of Citgo?

[Daghain]

Egads, that orange text is hard to read. Or maybe it's because I'm sober. :)

An abandoned hut?

[MonteGss]

What is there a mile off the road on the town side of Citgo?


That better? :)

[ZoNeSeeK]

The covered oil tankers?

[Brice]

Egads, that orange text is hard to read. Or maybe it's because I'm sober. :)

An abandoned hut?

No


The covered oil tankers?

...and no


Sorry for the orange text. :(

[ZoNeSeeK]

A thinny?

[Brice]

nope

[Daghain]

Aunt Cordelia's house?

[Chassit]

The Drop, iirc


XIX

[Brice]

Aunt Cordelia's house?

no


The Drop, iirc




XIX

and no again.

[Chassit]

Damn ok :)


XIX

[Daghain]

Who knew this would be such a stumper? LOL

[Chassit]

Yeah I know LOL

Perhaps the answer is Bad Grass? I think that this answer is too general (in area) though.

XIX

[MonteGss]

Ok, fine, I'll answer. :)

The answer is an orange grove.

Do I say true, sai Brice?

[Brice]

Ok, fine, I'll answer. :)

The answer is an orange grove.

Do I say true, sai Brice?

You speak true.

And as I'm sure you figured out the orange text was a bit of a hint. ;)

[alinda]

OH you guys are too clever for me.....:doh:

[Matt]

wow...seriously clever. :D

[MonteGss]

Yeah, I liked that one. Nice trivia Brice! :)
Ok, here's mine:

Who once claimed Roland could shoot with his eyes closed? What was the person's reason for saying this?

Happy Trivia

[Brice]

I'm glad y'all liked it. :) Monte you did nicely with it. Damn, some of y'all are really good at this.

At the moment I could only guess yours blindly. I think I'll wait a little bit.

[Mordred Deschain]

Yeah, I liked that one. Nice trivia Brice! :)
Ok, here's mine:

Who once claimed Roland could shoot with his eyes closed? What was the person's reason for saying this?

Happy Trivia

Eddie (I think) and it was a threat.....damn...I might be messed up.

[ZoNeSeeK]

Was it Vannay? Perhaps in comparison to how Roland's skills lied in his hands instead of his intelligence

[VolsToTheWall]

Who once claimed Roland could shoot with his eyes closed? What was the person's reason for saying this?
Once, Jamie DeCurry said Roland could shoot with his eyes closed, because he had eyes in his fingers. Are you referring to this one or another scene Monte?

[MonteGss]

I know no other scene. Jamie actually said "blindfolded" but I of course changed the wording. ;)
You speak true, sai Ageless. I await your question with excitement.

*Hands Vols the feather*

[VolsToTheWall]

Whose scent was comprised of a combination of the fragrances of smoke, wintergreen, and an old predecessor to the well known Vicks Vaporub?

[Daghain]

Was it Tian Jaffords' grandfather?

[VolsToTheWall]

Was it Tian Jaffords' grandfather?
Nayyup.

[Daghain]

AAAHHHHHH! My kingdom for an answer! LOL.

[ZoNeSeeK]

Dan Holmes (Odetta's father)

[Daghain]

Oh, well now that you say it...geez. :)

[ZoNeSeeK]

:P

[VolsToTheWall]

Dan Holmes (Odetta's father)

Aye. You say true, I say thank ya.
*Passes feather to ZoNe*

[ZoNeSeeK]

Whats a mile north of Seafront?

[VolsToTheWall]

Whats a mile north of Seafront?

The Great Barony cider-mansion.

[ZoNeSeeK]

Yup, you're up

[VolsToTheWall]

What is the term for the condition known as the healing madness?

[ZoNeSeeK]

dry twist? doesnt sound right but im not sure

[VolsToTheWall]

dry twist? doesnt sound right but im not sure

Nayyup, dry twist is arthritis.

[ZoNeSeeK]

Whore's blossom?

[VolsToTheWall]

Whore's blossom?
Nay, the answer I am looking for is a mental condition rather than a physical one.

[Mordred Deschain]

crap, and I packed all my books away!!! :(

[ZoNeSeeK]

post traumatic stress disorder? :)

[VolsToTheWall]

post traumatic stress disorder? :)

Actually, your humorous response is in thinking along the correct lines to discover the actual answer to this question. ;)

I'll reprint the question:


What is the term for the condition known as the healing madness?

[ZoNeSeeK]

out of curiosity, is this mentioned by Roland when theyre using the gateway at fedic station thats starting to malfunction?

[VolsToTheWall]

Nope.

[Daghain]

*graps at straws*

Grief???

[ZoNeSeeK]

Schizophrenia or Alzheimers?

[VolsToTheWall]

Grief???
Again, that is along the right line of thinking, but this is not a term from our world that I'm looking for. It comes from Roland's.

nymphomania?

Great question ASH..

What lady wanted to marry a lord but that lord wanted to marry the lady's sister instead and she never forgave him? What was the name of the lady and the lord and what land is this story from?

[Brice]

Great question ASH..

Is it Lady Oriza, Lord Seminon, and Calla Bryn Sturgis?

[Wuducynn]

Is it Lady Oriza, Lord Seminon, and Calla Bryn Sturgis?

Good job Brice.. :thumbsup:

[Brice]

Thank you sir. :D


In the secret compartment in Balazar's medicine cabinet there are three different items. One of those is a quantity of the medicine Roland needs. What are the three items and exactly how many doses of Roland's medicine are found in there?

[Mordred Deschain]

Is it Lady Oriza, Lord Seminon, and Calla Bryn Sturgis?

Good job Brice.. :thumbsup:

Okay, I have a question to this question and answer. Not that it's a big deal or anything, but is the WHERE Calla Bryn Sturgis? Because Roland knows the story of the Lady of the Dish, and I think it's more of a mythical story and the exact where isn't the principal of the story, it's the ethical or moral part of the story, just like the old testemant. It's just like when you hear the story in Mejis about the two lovers. All the Baronies have the same story, it's just told to fit the geography and community.

I know what you mean, I think. As far as we know this is a Callas story, but all over Mid-World folk probably have a myth like it. So I would have accepted The Callas, The Borderlands or Calla Bryn Sturgiss.

[Mordred Deschain]

Ya like I said, no big deal. I just have that type of personality to keep everyone honest. I mean obviously it wouldn't have been New York. :)

[Wuducynn]

Thank you sir. :D

Come on DarkTower.Com folk! Any ideas? Poor Brice's question is just left all by its lonesome with no one even giving it a try! :harrier:

[Brice]

Hey! You could always give it a try if you like.

[MonteGss]

In the secret compartment in Balazar's medicine cabinet there are three different items. One of those is a quantity of the medicine Roland needs. What are the three items and exactly how many doses of Roland's medicine are found in there?

"A few personal things--there was a bottle of suppositories, a copy of a blearily printed magazine called Child's Play...and eight or ten sample packages of Keflex."

I don't have a question ready. We can jump feather to anyone that wants to go. :)

[sarah]

that was a great question brice and nice answer monte :D


question:


What was the last thing the Oracle tells Roland when giving him the prophecy?

[MonteGss]

Another good one! :)

Quick! Somebody answer before Vols or CK jump in and take it. :P

[Matt]

I really need my references at work :(

Good answer but, my question was worded a bit trickily. I won't be picky since the game is moving along already, but I had asked how many doses not packages. You were very damn close though and deserved the feather. :D

Most likely you read:


A few personal things—there was a bottle of suppositories, a copy of a blearily printed magazine called Child's Play (the cover depicting two naked girls of about eight engaged in a soul-kiss) . . . and eight or ten sample packages of Keflex.

but, also needed this quote from later in the book to find out how many doses.


There had been nine sample bottles of Keflex in the secret compartment of Enrico Balazar's medicine cabinet, thirty-six doses in all, and he had felt well again.

[Brice]

that was a great question brice and nice answer monte :D

The oracle's last words?


No! It isn't enough! It-

[Wuducynn]

Hey! You could always give it a try if you like.

I have been trying to give others a try, is why.

[Brice]

Oh, I understand. :cool:

[Aaron]

Those were the last words, Brice, but she asked what the last thing was that was said in the prophecy. Or, at least, that's how I read it. In that case the last thing the Oracle told Roland was that he was damned.

[sarah]

correct aaron. :rose:

[MonteGss]

Sai Brice, you are correct about the tricksy wording. I jumped the gun a bit. I cry your pardon!

[Brice]

Sai Brice, you are correct about the tricksy wording. I jumped the gun a bit. I cry your pardon!


No, cry nothing! It was a little deceptively worded and you were perfectly right on the rest of it.

[Brice]

You are absolutely right about that Aaron. It is your turn. :D

[ZoNeSeeK]

*smokes Brice's hair*

[Daghain]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question, please, sai? :D

[Aaron]

What was the date in Odetta Holmes/Detta Walker's world on the day that Roland drew her/them?

[ZoNeSeeK]

argh, 1964 sometime

[Aaron]

The year is correct. If one looks closely, the answer is there. As a hint, you all must remember that Susannah's world was Keystone Earth, not an alternate world, like Jake and Eddie. Moses Carver existed in the world in which Roland and Eddie saved King, which is our world, ergo--since he was Susannah's godfather--Susannah was also from that world. This is important to remember to find this answer.

[Daghain]

June 19, 1964?

[Hannah]

***Aaron posting***



Incorrect. People were wearing coats, scarves, and boots in the Macy's that Detta was shoplifting from.

If no one has a clue by morning, I'll give another small hint. And here I thought this one would be too easy.

[Matt]

Lets see...3 months and two days.

JFK was shot on, Nov 22, 1963

So that would have made it Feb 25, 1964?

[Aaron]

That is correct. The day that Odetta said that was the 24th, when she arrived back in New York from Oxford, and it is implied later when she talks of showering and watching the evening news that Detta took over the next day, the 25th, and that was when Roland took her. Feather is yours, my man. :harrier:

[Daghain]

Yay, Matt, you got one!

New question, please? :D

[Matt]

Wow!! I can't believe it. :rock:

What is the official name give to the spot where The Rose finally ends up?
