02-02-08, 08:19 PM I just finished the first short story by kemp, and I must say it saited my taste for the third book release for now. I was wondering if we all came to this unspoken conculsion by the end of it or if this is a new Idea, but it is to my thinking that the man who saved Everis's Lady and Unborn Child was Mask himself.

Thoughts? Comments? Counter Arguements?

02-03-08, 02:07 AM -I need to remember to pick this book up.
sfdragon

The local library awaits.

And yes, if Mask did show up it might have broken or as he would say, bend a few rules.
Lord Karsus
02-03-08, 12:21 PM The local library awaits.

-Beh, forget the library. I need to get it for keeps. Stealing from the library is just wrong.

I agree--in fact, I thought that was made fairly obvious in the story.

And yes, I look forward to reading the final novel in the series.

02-04-08, 12:54 PM I think you'll enjoy this anthology. I'm a little more than halfway through it myself.

02-04-08, 02:26 PM Anthologies are stories that truly fit the realms.

Usually, yes, because they tend not to be "earth-shattering".
Lord Karsus
02-04-08, 03:15 PM -I went to Barnes & Noble, and they didn't have Realms of War, nor did they have the other book I was looking for, and yet, I somehow spend $55 on books...:nonono:
Phelf_Der_Zemit
02-04-08, 05:19 PM wow. I usually only rack up $20. Around three books at 6.99. I agree with the view on anthologies, some stories just don't have the full novel material but can still make a fun read, and you can really miss out on those if they don't throw them together like this.
Lord Karsus
02-04-08, 06:09 PM -There is a quote I believe attributed to Socrates that I can relate to. To paraphrase it, "With whatever money I have, I buy books. If there is anything left over, I buy food." ;)

Dammit. You know, Realms of War has a new story by Elaine Cunningham that I think you'd like (I'm reading it right now).:)

02-05-08, 10:58 AM -Dammit. :(

I finished reading it.:) It's called Redemption, and it's mainly about Elaith. Although, his actions in the story indicate that he's not necessarily moving towards redemption (it takes place in 1368 DR, by the way). It's an interesting look into how his mind works.

So while you've brought it up, What do you think about Mask being What'sherfaces savor?

02-05-08, 06:03 PM So while you've brought it up, What do you think about Mask being What'sherfaces savor?

I thought it was a pretty neat (if not totally unexpected) plot twist, although I was more interested in Varra and Rivalen than Mask.
Phelf_Der_Zemit
02-05-08, 06:20 PM I agree with the Rivalen revalation, and I also might be little foggy on Ao's rules, but what was his hang up on Divinty messing around with Mortals? And did Mask (if that was indeed Mask) cross it by doing what he did?

-Ao mandated during the Time of Troubles that deities interact and care more about their followers than they did at the time.

02-05-08, 06:41 PM So then the act in "question" fell into the Ok realm.

-No problem what so ever. I think that Mask has something big planned for Varra and Cale's baby.:D
-Didn't he touch her belly and it make her sick...so maybe the child is now touched by the GOD MASK?:cool:

02-28-08, 10:50 PM has anybody read Salvatore's new story Stones and Bone, if so could you post who its about, and what happens
Lord Karsus
02-28-08, 11:45 PM has anybody read Salvatore's new story Stones and Bone, if so could you post who its about, and what happens

-That was the one in this anthology? It's about a random goblin and Twibbledorf Pwent each losing comrades on the battle field, fighting, and then realizing that they aren't that different after all.
Rinonalyrna Fathomlin
02-29-08, 02:13 PM has anybody read Salvatore's new story Stones and Bone, if so could you post who its about, and what happens

Why don't you just read it and see for yourself?

02-29-08, 11:45 PM i would buy it but i'm 13 broke and cant get a job
Lord Karsus
03-01-08, 01:33 AM -Excuses, excuses, excuses...
Phelf_Der_Zemit
03-01-08, 10:55 AM Library? that's were I got mine from. And I have all intentions of bringing it back to.
Nessaj
03-01-08, 06:43 PM The short story was very, very interesting. I opened it up, saw "Rivalen" in the first sentence, closed the book, and took it to the counter so I could read it in the comfort of my own home. Paul Kemp's take on Shar's High Priest is very, very interesting from the last two novels, although I find it interesting that POSSIBLE SPOILER:

....Rivalen's faith could be so easily shaken after two thousand years of worshipping the Goddess of Secrets and Lady of Loss. Didn't he even consider that maybe the Shadowstorm isn't the end-all be-all of things? Not to mention that, well, dissappointment seems par for the course when it comes to Shar.
