I'd say it was you, since you gave a more complete answer. And it's perhaps due to the Sage's gremlins, but I'd not seen any posts in this thread in a couple of days -- it didn't show up on Active Topics. |

It might be. I've been tinkering with some basic ideas for Candlekeep 2, but only over the last 24 hours. |

Well, I was holding off because I didn't want to answer the question immediately following one of my own, but here it is:
Smerdiuk Dragonbane, famed dragonslayer of Arabel.

And the next question is:
What is the gruff-voiced, bearded wizard Shambarin "Shadowcloak"'s big secret?

He is actually (or used to be) a female Amnian thief called Keltie "Silkhips"
Silmar. (Forgotten Realms Adventures in the Berdusk section I believe). |

Umm...well...since I haven´t really read through all posts in this thread I hope it hasn´t been asked before, but here goes...
Which establishment offers the possibility of disposing of corpses in a lime pit somewhere beneath it, if the "correct" person is contacted? |

Somewhere in Baldur's Gate. Gimme a few to look it up...
Edit: The "correct" person would be Nantrin Bellowglyn who owns the Three Old Kegs, an inn nearby (end of Chapter 6, Under Fallen Stars by Mel Odom) |

Well, the character from That 70's Show was Fes, short for Foreign Exchange Student. Perhaps this question is about a Foreign Exchange Zulkir? Why someone would sign up for that program, I have no idea. Just imagine getting Szass Tam as your exchange student... |

As a member/author/judge for the NASCRAG gaming group, I was kinda surprised to see this question.
Nascrag runs one of the larger tournaments at GenCon each year and Fez was our first (and still favorite) time-traveling NPC wizard who stared is six of our modules. More about our Fez (as opposed to the FR one) can be found on our website, located here: here |

| The closest I can come to an Realms NPC named Fezz is an NPC who wears one. It's Bani Matruj al-Haddar (who also calls himself the Silent Sheikh). He is a goblin (rogue 4) who is also a talkative information broker and barber. The source is Al Qadim's Assassin Mountain module. |

Nope. Also no versions of Fez^(2-n), except Fez^1 would be correct.

Nope, but on some level a normal hound and Fez might have had something in common at some stage. (That's not a formal clue, which I'll post another of again tomorrow, but can be considered one.) |

Guess I will be looking thru my Elminster Ecologies: Battle of Bones book. |
"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is
to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious
thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed
words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn
then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they
will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding."

Just for that, you can only answer if you tell me the name of the play!
Since it's been almost a tenday since this has been asked, I'm going to assume nobody knows. I am therefore well within my rights to say:
“metal enough” - (from a line in an old, largely forgotten play, Morlos the Mad Merchant: “There’s metal enough in his bottom for him to hold down that throne.”) the swiftly spreading Sembian term for “street credit” (Power of Faerûn by Ed Greenwood, Eric L. Boyd)
For my question, I want to know:
What is Zelzing? |
