Wow, I think that's the first time you've not had the answer as soon as the question was posted!

This one prolly won't be too difficult. It was a bit of Realmslore I recently stumbled across, while reading something else.

Hrm.. Okay, shot in the dark, but I think I remember reading something about Volo being the father? Hrm, don't quote me on that until I can find where I read it.

Whoa!

Well, even though you don't have the reference (Dragon 250, page 80; the article is also online: Nymmurh, "The Wyrm Who Watches"), you do have the correct answer. So the next question is yours.

Okay, here's my question.

Which spell has this description?

All living creatures within the area (to a maximum of 80 HD) wither and die, their flesh falling to dust in seconds. The next round, these creatures rise as skeletons. You can control 1 HD of undead per caster level; any undead beyond this number are uncontrolled.

Note that this isn't the entire description, just part of it.

Not the greatest question, my first shot at this so bare with me. :)

Whoa!

That's the one!

I appreciate the reminder Tabardad. Though, I can't believe I forgot about poor ol' Volo.

Aye, that be the ugly brute, Wooly.

And I see we've already gone two questions ahead - nice bit about Volo.

I'm assuming it's an FR-specific spell, otherwise it's an 'illegal' question.

Not that it's any big deal... I'm just saying...

Okay that should do it.

Naergoth Bladelord is a warlord of one of Faerun’s major evil organization. He has been given command of an important task. He doesn’t care much for this assignment because the organization doesn’t give him enough resources to be effective. Unknown to him, help is on the way. What is this task and what kind of help has been sent?

Nope, it was an FR specific question. :)

Good answer, and even better question, Kilvan. :)

Hmm might have been a little difficult, here's a hint. The rank of those who gave him his assignment was "Wearer of Purple". Hope that helps.

I found the answer yesterday... It wasn't in the first book I thought of (which was the obvious one to check for this guy), but it was in the second, which was also a very logical place to look. It helped, though, that this is one NPC that I've known of for a very long time.

Looks like you might as well say the answers Wooly, or should I find another hint?

Another hint. I've already asnwered and asked a couple of questions recently, and I prefer to give others a shot.

Okay, here we go: The task takes place in a long-extinct volcano. Within its depths lies an ancient dragon graveyard, where the great beasts go to perish when their time is nigh. This information is of course, well-known to this organization.

Unfortunately, I won't have access to my books until tomorrow evening, so even though I have an inkling of an idea, I can't answer the question.

Our wondrous Lady Herald of Realmslore knows the art of distraction well. And the art of seduction too, it seems.

...

I do agree, though. 'Tis an easy one. But I made a promise to Wooly, and I intend to stick with it.

Let's hear from the rest of you.

I'm not sure what promise you're referring to, since this isn't my question.

I said a while back that I wouldn't come in and answer every question when the rules allowed me to. And I've found that to make it easier to adhere to that, I don't check this scroll every day...

Nice lore question, Kilvan! It sent me on a hunt through several tomes of FR lore before finding it in Lords of Darkness (3rd Ed.) [p.25]: Naergoth Bladelord is responsible for constructing a fortress to guard the Well of Dragons. Unbeknownst to him, the Wearers of Purple have sent the red dragon Arsekaslyx to aid him in building it and fending off attacks.

Okay, for whatever reason this bit of lore popped into my head, so I'll run with it:

The Moonsharran captain Carreigh Macumail once attended a feast where, because of what he did at the feast, later brought tears to the guest of honor's eyes. What did Captain Macumail do to elicit such a reaction?

Nor do I, but I can only think of one sourcebook that the good captain was in, so that should make it easier.

He played and sang a moving rendition of the "Ballad of Jarsali and the Treant" (Elves of Evermeet, p.18).

Ucharntar Sendril of Sendril's Silks in Ormath is an agent of which organisation?
