Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 I'd prefer that you didn't google all of them the minute they are put up, so that other people get a chance to use their memories first. But at this point when no one seems to know them immediately, I don't see why not. Anyway, it's not like I can stop you. Square One TV was really the best TV ever made.

Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Oh, I missed your other question. Originally Posted By: HOUSE of S #42 is wrong. (Also, where did this come from? Isimud is Enki's two-faced (literally) minister. What's the Hawkwind connection?) One of the pages I read about Isimud said something about a birdman. After you rejected my answer, I went back and checked here and realized it was only saying Izzy brought a birdman, not that he was a birdman (e.g. hawk-related thing). Edit: Just to be clear, I didn't not google or otherwise search for answers until Slarty granted permission; I actually remembered / figured out / made educated guesses about the earlier ones that I got correct.

Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Is #21 Britannian Seer? Perhaps it's in reference to Cormac from Nethergate, who IIRC wears an orange robe, and is the "head" seer of the tribe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Slack Pumpkinhead - Tip's lazy son. Cus, see, a slacker is lazy! (Also, didn't the film have something to do with the guy's son? That's how the monster came alive?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 NIKKI Correct -- #21 +1 point, total points: 2 Your film reference is still wrong, but you got the lazy part, which I thought would make that one of easier PDNs to get. Guess not. The actual reference is to Tip, the protagonist of _The Land of Oz_ (immediately sequel to _The Wizard of Oz_), a young boy who brings his "son," Jack Pumpkinhead, to life. No spoilers, but that book is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 #53 is Leads the Underworld to you. Charon, the figure in Greek mythology who shepards souls to the Underworld, is a "psychopomp", someone who leads souls to the afterlife. Therefore, a pompopsych would be someone who leads the afterlife to you. Clever, that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Ha! All this time, I had unconsciously been reading it as 'Psychopomp', without even realizing the switcheroo. By the way, could we get some explanation for "10. Argg v. Ed-Hajjaj - You must gain 1 spam if able"? It's probably another Magic joke, but I don't get the references. Orgg, perhaps, but I don't see how that fits with the clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Sarachim Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 42- Brittanian seer- from Ultima (4 for sure, can't remember if he's in any other ones) 2- Servant of Enki- last one left, process of elimination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 SARACHIM Correct -- #42 +1 point, total points: 1 Now if anyone can identify the connection between Enki and Good-Looks the Playboy, that's one last point for them! I'll be posting the next round in 2-3 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 When Inanna is trapped in the underworld by her sister Ereshkigal, Enki creates and sends semi-human creatures to arrange her release: in one version, it is a homunculus called, no joke, Good-Looks the Playboy.
