Ok, I've been given a lot of info from the people on these boards, so rather than have them repeat it, I'll just tell you what I know.
Bramble, Doom, Beast - To make these runewords, you need Sur, Ohm, Cham, Ber runes. The chances of you finding these runes legitimately are incredibly tiny. Almost certainly your friend's runewords were not made from self-found runes, and they are probably not even made up of legit runes.
Countess - You need to run the hell countess to have a chance at finding good enough runes to cube up. Not sure what the NM countess' limit is, but it's lower almost certainly. The Hell Countess has a limit of Vex on her rune drop, I believe. Also. the countess' rune drop chance is maximised at 1 player.
Vex is a very hard to get rune. A friend who ran the hell countess thousands of times has found 2 Vex runes from her to date. To cube to Cham would require 64 Vex runes.
If you are running the Countess for runes, you need a character with teleport, decent mana, and fast cast.
You may have more luck running high level heroes for items, and hoping for a good rune. Hell Mephisto and Pindle seem to drop more than their fair share of good runes.
