There's no chance I can answer faster than anyone else, but I'm sure I can find questions that should stump you all for a whole minute.  
Sure, go ahead, Bookwyrm. |

nah, not as hard as one would think. Someone's got the entire pdf for Stardock on the web. Just do a google search for Geniste + realms.

Google isn't generally helpful, though. Close, but not right. |

You can also do a .PDF search, if you have the books downloaded.
It allows you to search all .pdf files on a hard drive. |

Bingo-at least with Acrobat 6.0 and later related products, at least. Also, searching every PDF on your hard disk will take an hour or two, likely-better to stuff them all in one folder and just check that one. Anyway, back to the Realmslore? |

A nice fact to know. Thank you for sharing the information.
I think you may have to offer up a hint regarding your question. |

Sorry it took so long to reply.(perhaps I should have chosen an easyer queston)
A few hints, (lets get this moveing fast)
This was reported by the most well known Restaurant revewers.
This Restaurant, is also a adventurers' club.
It was founded by a worshiper of Loviator.
Due to location, a cleric from the temple "Lady of Good Fortune" temple spends much time there.
Hope this helps (agien sorry if it was to tough, and for being slow )
EDIT: since I have been proven to be slow, I will ether bow out of this from now on, OR pick blatenly obvious questions, I hate slowing down the fun |

I don't think there's a need to do either. You picked a really good question. I was stumped until the hints as my knowledge of the Dalelands is not as strong as some other FR areas.
And speaking of questions, here's one for everyone else:
Of All the Taverns in Waterdeep, which one has the most dedicated patrons? |

Okay... What 2 spells are on the scrolls that Hsssthak is guarding? |

Not sure if this is the direction you are going in but
One of the drow noble houses, House Auvryndar is led by a female drow vampire of Lolth (Drizzt's Guide to the Underdark, pages 49-50).
Let me know if that's what you were asking. It is, or was, a drow city, so you could have something else odd in mind. |

I thought about adding that part as a joke. But, then, it's not unique these days for such a state to have befallen Ched Nasad nobles. |

O! I think I know this...
In House Jusztiirn was a powerful "wizard", who was actually an adult blue dragon named Krashos Morueme (some called him George for short! j/k), who survived the fall and is currently bossing about a fire genasi in the city's rubble. (Underdark, page 133).
I'm probably wrong, but it was worth adding, anyway. |

No, it's not me - although it is kind of cool being a Morueme dragon.:)
Arivia got it right, but didn't give us a question to follow up.
The answer is of course: House D'Dgttu (which conveniently stands for "Drizzt Do'Urden's Guide to the Underdark"). Blame Mr Boyd's warped sense of humour.
I'll leave it to Arivia to give us the next question.

I shudder to think what humor he's inserted into the upcoming Serpent Kingdoms. |

Warning, people, don't try participating in trivia contents without any sleep-you'll leave everyone hanging for an answer.
This question's a two parter(although they are closely related):
1)Where can you find an eleven-foot long sword jutting out of a cliff?
And 2)What four gods have runes inscribed upon it? |

Alright, I seem to have stumped everyone. Does someone else have a question? |

Or that.
I'll give you the hint Sargauth Falls, then-either you'll know where to look from there, or you probably won't get it. |

Nah, that means you answer your own question, with a source, and then ask another.
Or you could hold out for a bit longer, but spur us on with a clue or two... |

To be honest, until I went looking for a clue, I'd forgotten the source... ...Bad Arivia, bad Arivia...
I could remember the series(oops, I guess that's a minor hint) but not much else. |

Sargauth Falls, Room #18 Champignon Caverns in Undermountain: The Lost Level. The four gods are Bane, Bhaal, Moander, and Myrkul. (Undermountain: The Lost Level by Steven E. Schend, pg. 19).
Good question Arivia!
Which Realms song has a chorus that begins:
And in this land I'll proudly stand
Until my dying day, sir. |
