Argh, read one of the questions wrong, namely question 3... I thought the time she was captured not the place of the capture. However, in question 4 I answer this as I say the Harpers freed her from Hellgate Keep.
May I ask Bluenose to shift that part of the answer to question 3??

I'll leave it as it is, but accept the answer as correct, if that's all right. And I'll look up they year she was captured, an interesting detail to add.

Sure, if I still get the points
And yeah, it would be interresting to know how many is thousands of years... she is only 5000 old She is locked up for the most part of her life.

Dear players in the quiz,

Indeed I have the great honour of taking over the quiz for at least two weeks. Bluenose will now pit his mind against those of the community and I shall ask you the questions.
With a change of Quizmaster cames a few changes in the questions. This will we be the following:

1. The main objective of the quiz moves from Fearûn to the Planescape Setting io its main focus. The Planar setting is cool enough to include several worlds, and as such several settings shall also be included through different ways.

2. All questions shall remain 2 days. This gives you time to log in. Look, think have a bit of time, and than answer the questions.

3. Per subject we have several questions. These questions shall be divided in the novice and the expert category. After all not all of us are as crazy as me . I hope that this along with changing point 2 means that more people will participate, as well as all those that participate like Scipio, Jarno, Sammi, Tassadar, Isilven, Tempest and Kellen.

P.s. Scorings are all reset to 0, as to give show a difference in quizmaster and major topic, so the hunt is open for glory

For the rest the rules shall remain as in the original post of Bluenose. I encourage advertistement for the new quiz, and I hope that in this two week period shall enjoy my style of quiz-mastering.

I have absolute faith in you as a quizmaster, DA. You've already shown your depth of knowledge. For me the pity is that I've never played Planescape. So this will be my chance to learn something about the game before I install it, if I can ever find it!

Most questions are not made to tailor just that game, but the setting. Trust me, you might know more than you think

[Bluenose]

I need to add one thing for the rules. If you want your post edited for some reason, inform Deathsangel rather than me. It will get done, but obviously I shouldn't be editing other peoples posts in this quiz.

But he has his own horse in the, hmm... wagon. Wouldn't that make it, ah, never mind, I already quited this competition.

Point is I can edit the messages, and why did you stop Jarno?

[Bluenose]

Deathsangel, you've forced me to extreme measures. I'm going up into my loft to get my old Planescape Boxed Set out. Now where's the ladder.

Haha, good good. That is what I do with your questions. If it is corret you will find most answers in there. One may be too young for that box set... (one of the normal, and one of the geeky questions)

At least you have two days

Hey, Deathsangel, is there any way to answer these without the game manual? I spent 45 minutes on the Internet and came up with, um, nothing!

Yes, especially the question for normal people. I have two sites that answer most or even all questions

[Scipio]

I'm really sorry, guys, but I'm standing back and doing nothing but record the answers to the Planescape quiz. I haven't played the game so it's all rather meaningless to me. It takes me a long time to start finding any useful answers, and even then they have no relevance to my experience. Even if I do find some answers, all that proves is that I have used Google or some Planescape reference website to look up information that doesn't have much meaning to me.

Forgive me, Deathsangel, you've obviously put a lot of thought and work into your part of the quiz.

[Deathsangel]

That does indeed sadden me a bit, but it is your call of course

P.s. only the last question the PS:T players had an advantage... However, it is weird just to see how many answers Bluenose gets correct as only player...

[Jarno Mikkola]

...and why did you stop Jarno?

I wanted to be the ...
And because of questions like this, where the interpretation of the rules change things and scores:

The normal-people category - What is the main plane where the following races live:

The answers to the previous questions: The normal-people category: Elves - Arborea
~~~ The entire Elven pantheon is here, and all that worship the pantheon end up on this plane once they die no matter what Prime they come from. Now from several sources we know this pantheon worshipped on several Primes, among which the Forgotten Realms and Greyhawk, as such the total number of Elves on Arborea are greater than on one single Prime. Humans are so diverted in their religion they end up on all Places.

But... as that is the The D&D/FRQuiz(Forgotten Realms) thread, there is only one Prime Material Plane, as the name indicates, and besides that the people need to live in the plane, not be just dead-things, spirits or artificial representations of their trueself, also called as avatars... or Imps.

[Deathsangel]

Well, petitioners do live my impish friend. So that is not entirely true.
It was also noted when I started as quiz master we did move into the planar setting, which also is D&D, and that has several primes by default.
Also Arborea & Bytopia even have as a nickname Domain of the Elven Lords or Home of the Gnomes, respectively

However, I had actually already told myself that I would acknowledge half points for the 'Prime' answer, seeing it is indeed it little fiendish of me... I am bit too much of a geek I would give that answer.

So yes, you have currently 2 1/2 points. 1 correct, 3 - logical answers, if not the ones that would be officially correct


Still, all in all your right to just be an onlooker of course.

[Jarno Mikkola]

This is fun, for me at least. So don't take this as an attack, even though it might be, as the spirit of it is to have fun, not to assault you.

Well, petitioners do live my impish friend.

Ah, but the petitioners don't live like the elves they were before and thus you can't say that they are the elves, and they serve a master that was so cruel to them, that they had to die to become his eternal servants, without any memory of what happened to them. Possessive a little?

So that is not entirely true.

For once, I agree with you.

It was also noted when I started as quiz master we did move into the planar setting, which also is D&D, and that has several primes by default.

So why does the Quiz still carry the name of it's former self? (The D&D/FRQuiz thread )

Also Arborea & Bytopia even have as a nickname Domain of the Elven Lords or Home of the Gnomes, respectively

And the Bible no doubt say that our Lord is in Heaven...
