Irvine's Trivia Challenge

[Instructor Kinneas]

Hey... whoa...
So many pretty ladies here!

...what? Oh, right. On to the contest.

Welcome to Irvy's Trivia Challenge!

... No, no, don't leave!

Ok, here's how this is going to work:
I will run a question a day (since, of course, time zones vary).
Then I'll tally scores and update the standings after each question.

This is an ongoing, point-based contest. Every two weeks, I will award prizes to the 3 top trivia gurus with the highest points.

Prizes may vary between awardings.

The thread is open! Game start is 6 pm EST on Dec 20th.

Good luck!


First Question:


I have lived a long time. I am very powerful. My name paints a false picture of me. I wear wings and stand upright, yet if you get too close to me, you may become sick. Don't give up, though, for I drop a very useful rare item for Zell's Gauntlet upgrade.

 

[Tums Festival]

This is literally a shot in the dark, but I'm going to guess Anacondaur?  

[Beitrix]

um..... i'm going to guess the Elnoyle...... but i think that's wrong...  

[Sembri]

I'm gonna guess Blue Dragon.  

[S Raina]

I think Anacondaur.  

[haloshatterer v2]

i'mpretty sure it's anacondour  

[Great Goddess Gardinia]

I think it's the anacondour.  

[The Vilespawn Archfiend]

I'm gonna go with Blue Dragon. Anacondaur doesn't exactly have 'wings' per se...  

[Instructor Kinneas]

Y'all are sharp! The answer was Blue Dragon, but I had forgotten about the Dragon Skins coming from Anacondaur. The first to answer correctly, Miss Sembri, receives 150 pts. Others with the correct answer receive 100 pts, and those that didn't, but still attempted, receive 50 pts. wink

*(By the way, recheck the first post for extra information about prizes that I didn't have up there before.)

Now, as it is getting closer to 6 pm, again, I'll post the next question.

Question #2:

A place buried deep in legend...
and what you see is only the tip of a metaphorical iceberg.
The inhabitants of this place aren't very friendly at all...

...I hope you're a mechanic.

What place is this?

 

[The Vilespawn Archfiend]

The Deep Sea Research Facility. 3nodding  

[Great Goddess Gardinia]

XD Beat me to it. I also believe it's the Deep Sea Research Facility.  

[Instructor Zell]

Yeah, Squall was SO lucky to have me with him going there. 3nodding  

[haloshatterer v2]
