Two-parter:

What Hyperborean region is famed for its high-quality ropes, and what enemy might the denizens be most likely to tie up with said ropes?

Blackadder23 · 10/31/2015 11:15 am

1. New Amazonia.
2. Those Darn Ixians.

While the ropes of New Amazonia are resilient--which is what you want when choking an Ixian--that's not what we're looking for here. Hint: Buy the rope, but don't stay for supper!

New Amazonia and ropes? Sounds like a Wonder Woman tie-in.

Blackadder23 · 10/31/2015 11:38 am

1. Cape Calencia.
2. Those Double-Darned Ape-Men.

Handy Haversack · 10/31/2015 11:40 am

That's the stuff! You damn dirty apes!

Over the top, Lord Blackadder.

I hear they have lots of gems.

Handy Haversack · 10/31/2015 11:49 am

For hominids.

Blackadder23 · 10/31/2015 12:50 pm

Name at least three deities that are stated to be revered by druids.

(Is there an echo in here?)

Handy Haversack · 11/03/2015 8:27 am

Yoon-Deh, Thaumagorga, and . . . Selene?

Blackadder23 · 11/03/2015 12:01 pm

I'll accept "Selene" for "Lunaqqua" because Jeff gives that as an alternative name for the goddess. Helios would be another example.

Your shot!

Some sages suggest that the crab-men came to Hyperborea from another world, though whether this was their home or merely another stop in their unknowable peregrinations is, well, unknowable. What was this other world?

gizmomathboy · 11/05/2015 11:54 am

Poseidenos

Handy Haversack · 11/05/2015 11:55 am

You're all wet!

Also correct.

gizmomathboy · 11/05/2015 2:37 pm

What spell creates a sickly yellow, translucent construct?

Handy Haversack · 11/10/2015 9:11 am

I want it to be *all of them*. Is that an option? But I'll go with spectral hand.

gizmomathboy · 11/30/2015 3:29 pm

Sorry about taking so long to get back to this.

Handy you, and your impressive collection of D&D books, are correct.

Handy Haversack · 11/30/2015 3:51 pm

I like this crowd!

Technically, of what cut are the gem tears of the Sightless Serpent?

rhialto · 11/30/2015 7:30 pm

Pyramid-cut sapphires: black, violet and the prized white.

Handy Haversack · 11/30/2015 7:33 pm

Pyramidal is the shape but not the cut. We're deep into secondary skills here, people. Animal handler is not going to cut it.
