Keen. Another question from me, then.
What enchanted object protects the Singing City from their ancient enemy, and what is this enemy's true name?

Easy! The Threnogem, and the enemy's true name is "the Demon, Steth-Amon, Master of Sound." (Taken from Beyond the Nightmare Gate Section 245, the book that's currently being reworked by PA to put the original illustrations back into it.)

Zipp, can you tell which city is the focus of your efforts just to make sure were not visiting, and maybe change my mother-in-laws travel plans... I've got a Shadow Gate that's good to go as soon as you give me a location...Thanx...

Damnation! The question was only moderately difficult, but it would figure that one of the editor-nerds was working on that exact book recently. Thou art correct, Outspaced. You're up.

i) What character do you play? ii) What is that character's relationship to a certain village member? iii) In which Astérix book did the character originally appear?
Only real gamebook-nerds are likely to know the answer to that multi-part question.

Now I don't remember which of the books he originally came from, but the character's name was Justforkix and I believe that he was the nephew of Impedimentia.

Hmm . . . only one out of a possible three, I'm afraid, NS!

You don't really expect me to get more than that, do you? I haven't thought about them for years and years!

I expect nothing of anyone; it just means you can't legitimately refer to yourself as an official gamebook-nerd, NS.

Brainwave - I know he's the nephew of someone, and suddenly it occurs to me that he's Asterix's nephew. I still don't know which book he's in!

Still only 1/3, NS.

At least I'm answering! No one is even trying NS.

That's because no one knows. He intentionally pulled a "What have I got in my pockets?" on us, which is kind of lame.

Only real gamebook-nerds are likely to know the answer to that multi-part question. I'm not a gamebook nerd (I never read that gamebook)... but I am a fan of European comic strips. Right, based on the name that NS gave and also because he said that he was the nephew of someone, I can answer all three questions just because I know the comic books well: 1- Justforkix 2- He's the nephew of Vitalstatistix, the chief of the Village 3- Justforkix appeared in "Asterix and the Normans", and it is his only appearance in the series.
