Donation Quiz

Time for the donation quiz!

This is the chance for those who say they can't donate anything themselves (no credit card, no money, or any other excuse) to contribute to the HC.

The Rules.

For each of the 15 questions below which are correctly answered I'll donate the sum of $2 (Two US dollars) to Heroes Community (HC). This means that the total maximum donation amount for this quiz is limited to $30.

Each community member has 1 single guess on each question. I'll close each of the questions when the correct answer is given, which means that each question will maximum yield $2 donation to HC. Several members giving the correct answer to one question will not increase the donation, it is $2 for each question - regardless of the number of community members who posts the correct answer. I'll try to update this thread once per day to keep the community up to date on which questions have been correctly answered.

The answers (or at the very least clues to them) can all be found on my home page, which I've now linked to my profile. All answers on the questions must be posted to this thread, or they'll not be considered as answers.

In some cases there are other possible answers as some of the questions are purposefully vague, and some can be interpreted in different ways. In these cases, I assume the right to accept ONLY the answer I intended as being correct. (In ermine, the community has a lot of members so all in all there can be a lot of guesses on any one question as long as it's different community members making the guesses.)

Community members may use this thread to discuss the questions and their possible answers and exchange clues and so on. If you make an answer to any question be sure to label it very clearly as an answer.

The deadline for giving answers expires at midnight on the 20th of December 2001 CET (Central European Time).

I'm reserving the right to interpret the rules in case of different opinions on the rules, though hopefully there'll not be any differences as I've tried hard to make the rules clear.

NOTE: Don't expect the contest to be easy. You'll have to work hard for each answer. My site contains more than 900 short stories which translates to roughly 10 MB text. So finding some of the answers will be very difficult and/or take a lot of time.

Of course anyone who visits my site will get to know my Real Life name. Please, keep my RL name and any other information about me published through my site away from HC. For the purpose of HC I'm Djive, a female Gnoll Witch. Nothing else!

The questions:
1. Who was The Traitor?

2. One of my female PCs has been retired. In which city did she die?

3. What was the name of the headquarter of the Third Chapter?

4. Who received Titan as a wedding gift?

5. Which rank is associated with 40 posts?

6. Who is the Master of the Pack?

7. A character with the same name as a hero from heroes 3 lives in Nyras. What's the name, race and occupation of that person?

8. There's a race with only four survivors. One bears the name of a Goddess from Greek mythology. What's the names of the three others?

9-10. Which two 'special' items did Swift Talon find in Livia's lair, what became of them and who are their current owners? (2 items thus this is two questions. Be sure to state for each of them the name of the item, what happened to it and who the current owner is.)

11-12. Two of the tombs in the Kai Graveyard are actually empty. Which two tombs are these and explain the reason for the tomb being empty. (2 empty tombs thus this is two questions.)

13. What's the name of Vashna's mortal lover?

14. Which Kai Lord is blind?

15. Where did Red Hunter meet Judith?

I asked Val about the contest before posting it and he thought it was a fun idea.

Besides, who do you think is repsonsible for the donation amount under PayPal donate currently saying "$20 donated this month" instead of "$0 donated this month"?

Someone asked about how to access my home-page. You access it on the line that appears under each of my posts by clicking on the "house" icon. (IM  - View Profile - Send E-mail - Quote Reply - Home Page)

You can also find the link in my profile.

Murphy's answer "Kai Grand Master" to question 5 is correct, so that question is now closed.

Murphy's answer "Quickwater" to question 1 is correct, so that question is now closed.

The only blind character I could find is Brain Dervis.  I hope this is right.

Edited to bring the topic back to the top.

No more replies the two last days. Only 7 more days remaining to find the answers. Still only four out of fifteen questions correctly answered.

Edited again to bring the topic back to the top. (I won't bother to do this a third time while the quiz is ongoing.)

Still no more replies, and only about 4.5 days remaining before the deadline now.

Edited a final time to add the Summary:

The deadlines for giving answers has passed.

4 questions were answered correctly. So the donation amount is 8 US dollars.

Murphy: 3 correct answers
Jiels: 1 correct answer

I've sent the amount through PayPal to HC.

Answers to the remaining questions???

Hmmm... I believe not, at least not now. Never seemed to be any real interest to answer the quiz to begin with. Perhaps I could be bothered to send them in later.
