Answer: Thames Chabon

Thames Chabon was the man who the gang met to obtain the skull from. Through meeting with Caelan to organise the meeting, Thames Chabon handed over the fake skull in exchange for a Duffel bag full of money. Thames Chabon got caught immediately afterwards, after he panicked when he thought Valkyrie had found out. She was in fact only testing him, making sure that the skull was real.

Answer: The Sceptre of Ancients

The Sceptre of Ancients has the power to turn everything to dust. Very scary. The black crystal sings to the owner when an enemy approaches. However, when the Ancients, or one with blood of the Ancients, approached, the crystal did not sing. Thus, one flaw in the ultimate weapon. The other three answers are random made up ones.

Answer: And the Darkness Rained Upon Them

The three wrong answers came from the second book. "The All Night Horror Show" was one of Gordon's short stories based on something he had heard about Tanith Low, and "The Vanishing Night" was a novel based in a Shibbach. "The Grotesquery" is a Faceless One that has been brought to life in the second book.

Ghastly Bespoke was 'thankful' that money didn't mean much to them, and then Fletcher reacted, telling Ghastly to "speak for himself." Tanith Low then told Fletcher not to complain as he "didn't contribute anything". These were some quotes from the book.

Everyone has three names. No-one knows their true name. The given name is what your parents or whoever give you at birth, and the taken name is one that you take to seal and protect your given name. If anyone knows someones true name, then they can control everything about that person.

Answer: At Gordon's funeral

When she first sees Skulduggery, he is wearing a tan overcoat, with a scarf covering his face and a pair of "gigantic sunglasses". He was wearing a "wide-brimmed hat" under which his "wild and frizzy hair" could be seen. It's no wonder Stephanie was intrigued by him.

Solomon Wreath offered her this path at the very end of the 3rd book. In this book she took it up in order to have enough power to fight her way to save Skulduggery Pleasant from the Faceless Ones' dimension.

From Quiz "Skulduggery Pleasant" Part Two

Answer: A key

He wants the key that opens the door to the tunnels under Gordon's house. Which is where the Sceptre is ultimately hidden. Cool. Although, I wouldn't like to be an enemy of the sorcerer that built the house, would you? I mean, he built an entrance that led to the tunnels, which are are death-trap for sorcerers.

From Quiz "Skulduggery Pleasant" Part One

Answer: Stephanie

The list is as follows: Skulduggery gets advice Fergus and Beryl get the car, the boat and the brooch. (Beryl is not happy. They already have a car and Fergus gets seasick easily.) Stephanie's parents get the villa in France. Stephanie gets the estate, the fortune, the royalties from the books, everything. Beryl and the twins were furious.

China has many symbols carved into her body. She taps these in different orders for many different powers, such as fire blasts and slow time.

From Quiz Skulduggery Pleasant: Dark Days

Answer: Her Ring

Valkyrie Cain wore a Necromancer Ring without which she couldn't summon any Necromancy related powers. For example, a quote from the book: "Say thank you, Detective Marr, for letting me get up," Detective Marr says when she has Valkyrie on her hands and knees. "Thank you, Detective Marr, for giving me back my ring," Valkyrie says as she retrieves the carelessly left ring on the floor.

From Quiz "Skulduggery Pleasant" Part Two

Answer: The water 'took him apart'

Turns out, a lot of water was lethal to that man. It was the flaw of making himself resistant to fire. Well, having a 'fire-proof coating' seems pretty wild, even for Derek Landy. It's just as well that I'm not an author, isn't it?

From Quiz "Skulduggery Pleasant" Part One

Answer: He smashes the window

Skulduggery breaks down the door to fight the weird person who came in. Stephanie refused lots of times to let him in, and the materialising came in book two. The stranger made himself fireproof so Skulduggery shot him in the shoulder.

Answer: Tesseract

Tesseract is a Russian man. He is widely feared, and he wears a metal mask to conceal his horrifying appearance. Without the mask, people would run screaming from his deformed face, and he would die from a disease he has.

From Quiz Skulduggery Pleasant: Dark Days

Answer: The Revengers Club

Some people will say 'Vengeance Brigade'. That is incorrect. Scapegrace is the one that calls it that. Billy-Ray Sanguine calls it 'The Revengers Club'. The official term is unknown, but is most likely to be 'The Revengers Club' as Dreylan Scarab, the leader of the group, calls it that.

From Quiz "Skulduggery Pleasant" Part Two

Answer: Mr Bliss

Landy hasn't revealed Mr Bliss' first name, if he even has one. Well, we have seven more books to read in order to find out, don't we? Stephanie described his eyes as 'like staring into oblivion'. He does, however, have legendary strength which proved very handy during the war.

From Quiz "Skulduggery Pleasant" Part One

Answer: Skulduggery Pleasant is a skeleton

Well, he's a skeleton, has been for a very long time. Turns out that it isn't his own head he's wearing, it's one that he won in a poker game. His own head got stolen by "little goblin things". He was killed by Nefarian Serpine, one of Mevolent's Three Generals. The others were called Lord Vile and Baron Vengeous. Nice names.

From Quiz Skulduggery Pleasant Books

Answer: Reflection

As she does not have time to balance saving the world with school and family, she uses her reflection to substitute. Skulduggery enchanted her mirror, and now she touches it and the memories of school and family from the reflections mind flood into her mind.

From Quiz Skulduggery Pleasant: Dark Days

Answer: All-Ireland Championship

Dreylan Scarab wanted to kill more than 82,000 Mortals to bring shame to the Irish sanctuary. This would be his revenge, because the Irish sanctuary framed him for killing Ersyn Vanguard. The Irish sanctuary would topple under shame and pressure from the other sanctuaries around the world, which would be trying to become the new Prime Sanctuary.

Answer: Twenty-third of October

To quote from the book, "So, I died. He killed me. The twenty-third of October, it was, when my heart stopped beating. Once I was dead, they stuck my body up on a pike and burned it for all to see. They used me as a warning - they used the bodies of all the leaders they killed as warnings - and, to my utter horror, it worked."

From Quiz Skulduggery Pleasant: Dark Days

Answer: She led Skulduggery's family into the trap that killed them

A lot of people I asked say that she 'Worships the Faceless Ones' is the answer. That is not a secret, and she no longer worships them. In an encounter with Remus Crux, he said that he knows the dark secret. While Serpine killed Skulduggery, China Sorrows led his family into the trap that killed them. She then kills Remus Crux with a bullet from a gun hidden in her purse.

From Quiz "Skulduggery Pleasant" Part Two

Answer: The Dublin Municipal Art Gallery

The Vault hires vampires as security guards. A tad more deadly than ballerinas, aren't they? Well, I can't blame Stephanie for thinking that they were dancers. These aren't the vampires that legend knows. These are more animal than man, and cannot distinguish between friend and foe once they shed their skin.

From Quiz "Skulduggery Pleasant" Part One

Answer: His hat

"Well, I don't plan on dying any time soon, and I've got something he didn't." "And that is...?" "Your hat, Take me with you or I'll stand on it." Derek Landy is brilliant!
