Well, the statement is in the title. Just finished The Ghost King and man, what a lame way for people to go out. I mean WOW can't anyone just die. Sorry for the frustration but the build up was great, you just knew that someone was going to go out in a blaze of glory, then Lame... So many questions and very few answers. Also, I liked Jarlax and crew as mostly bad guys, not the sentimental fools they became in this novel. Just needed to vent a little

Hmm. RAS letting the reader down with a sub-par third book in a trilogy? It's like deja vu. (Yes, world, I didn't care for The Two Swords.)
I still haven't gotten around to reading TGK. I'll most likely just wait til Christmas. If you don't mind answering a question: Do the prologue and/or epilogue take place in the past or the modern 1479 DR? I've been itching to find out, but I haven't been able to get down to the bookstore.
Neither really, I just glanced back through to try and find a date and there are none given. I read it really fast though. The only date given is 8 years after the events at Luskin I think. Even Drizzt's musings, or whatever they are, are written in the present tense with no hint of the future or past really. The book was really all over the place with six or seven subplots and almost no resolutions to any of them. Don't get me wrong it was an ok read it was just a really rushed feeling book.

I see. My thanks.
I only asked because I and a few others had a hunch regarding the prologue and epilogue of TOK: that they combined were the RAS story which had been slated for The Grand History of the Realms but got cut. The difference between TOK and TPK's pro/epi was a nudge in that direction; this is a further nudge.
Well the book is written rather strangely, kinda like an Ed Greenwood book. In every other instance of the spellplague there are catastrophic effects. The way it is written you aren't even sure if they are in the beginning, middle or end of the failing of the weave. Cattie-brie and Drizzt are both washed up in blue fire and she gets a spell-scar, but the super awsome Drizzt is unfazed. I thought this was just some bad magical after effects until later in the book. The timeline in this book is just really hard to follow, it takes them a long time to get to Spirit-Soaring, then poof, in one sentence they are back at the Hall. No sight seeing no recollections, musings, nothing. Based on what the characters are saying it starts and ends in conjunction with the spellplague though. It's just that R.A. goes out of his way with every character to confirm that they have no idea what is going on.
Its also the last that will have RAS's favorite characters, so if it was a bad read, it was a saying goodbye.
No more Wulfgar,Bruenor, Regis, Cattie-brie, etc
I would not be so sure of that. Maybe the end of their journey's as we currently know them but the way it's written they are not going to be as dead as they should be.
I would say this story takes place in 1385DR,during the year the SpellPlague was unleashed.Some of what happens to some of these characters may be so they could return at a later date, since not everyone can live as long as Drizzt ,and bring the story in line with 1479DR.
So...pretty much the book is crap?
dunno, my signed copy hasnt come yet.
and no two people like the same things so.......
I personally dislike Artemis , but the promise of the witch king was a good read, and I disliked the road of the patriarch
The book is pretty good.I just thought the ending stunk.This book will be a disaster if Salvatore decides that this is his last Drizzt book.I sincerely doubt that since the man is milking a gold mine.
I pretty much got tired of Drizzit(this one is just for you LK where ever you are!
) in 1999.
So this is what came of the book.... Spoilers.
Cattie-brie and Regis are dead. Scooped up by Melliki and given there own personal paradise.
Cadderly is now the Ghost King, but forced to protect his destroyed library forevermore from the Shadowfell
Artemis is hinted at but other than that nothing
Bruenor can only say elf alot
Jarlax is a good guy and in love with Cattie-brie and is on a mission to find her out of the goodness of his heart
Denir wrote himself into the metatext and Ogma sent Cadderly an e-mail to become the Ghost King.
Drizzt is pissed even though he saw Melliki (His god not hers) take his wife and friend (don't halfling have their own god)
Drizzt will find wulfgar
Danica, her kids, Pikel, Ivan, and Kimmurel well there just hangin... Somewhere.
Ahhh so thats what happened to Denir.
Ahhh so thats what happened to Denir.
So he might have pulled a Mask (of sorts)? Interesting. This just makes me want to get a copy as soon as possible. But I'm having a good laugh at the idea of Regis and Catti-brie going to Mielikki's grove for all eternity. This is just an attempt to keep their souls nice and safe for whenever RAS next needs them.

It was not even that subtle, Regis is musing and relates that Cattie-brie is peaceful and content but he understands that he is just a visitor. He even trys to leave but can't so he becomes the defacto care taker always setting a place for visitors who never come.
Yep the more I hear, the stupider it sounds. I will wait for the paperback and THEN read it. Looks like I wont be missing much. Artemis in love with Cattie. I guess RA forgot about when Art had Cattie prisoner...

Actually it's Jarlax who is infatuated with her, Jarlax also held her prisioner in Menzenberrozan or however heck you spell that, and Artimis I guess you would say kidnapped her. It's kinda funny because there is a direct reference to that; how Jarlax treated her and actually helped them excape. This from Drizzt! Oh well, reverse stockholm syndrome anyone? On a side note the all knowing Hephastus melded with the crystall shard 6 liches and a mind flayer who can pinpoint where everyone who blinded/destroyed him cannot find Artemis. Neither can Jarlax.
That just sealed the deal for me...I wont be reading that garbage now. I can see it now, Jarlalxle will now go looking for Art in 1479 so he can have the 'MUNCHKIN' item, while Drizzit tries to stop him.
I dont know it sounds like he filled in some gaps, so im gonna have to check it out, even though i havnt read a Drizzt novel since the Crystal Shard.
I just read the book. Though I feel Lien's summary is misleading (especially concerning Jarlaxle), I agree that the end was INCREDIBLY dissapointing. Actually, I thought the treatment of Catti overall was really lame.
But seriously, Drizzt goes through the whole book trying to save her, and in the end he fails miserably? Seriously? And, he was so willing to do anything to save her, but the excuse is he has no way of going to the Shadowfell... even when there is a giant freakin unclosable door to the plane in the town next door, and it even says they passed through the town on the way home... Seriously, you htink Drizzt would've gone in after her..
Honestly, what do any of you expect?
RAS has gone the George Lucas route. Like GL, he had his successful first trilogy (OK, RotJ had ewoks... and that was the beginning of the end), but now he has devolved into an ugly and unfunny parody of his former self.
Look at the names that are becoming even more stupid. Look at the dialogue from, inter alia, that silly dwarf with the two morningstars/flails. Why would anyone be surprised with Jarlaxle falling in love with Catti-Brie?

Jarlaxle doesn't fall in love with Catti-brie, dammit. Caring about someone is not the same thing as falling in love with them. He also cares about Drizzt and Artemis quite a bit, if you've read all the novels. Is J in love with them too?
I actually liked the way he handled the end of Artemis in the other trilogy. I don't see why his "beloved characters of twenty years" don't get the same respect.
Catti-brie has gone from a strong female character to one that got almost no real dialogue in the last two books and goes out in as lame a way as possible. In fact, in his more recent books RAS has developed a strong tendency towards killing off most of the strong female characters. And then the best part? He says the book was inspired by his wife! I'm not quite sure how to take that.
He also cares about Drizzt and Artemis quite a bit, if you've read all the novels. Is J in love with them too?
*insert bad yaoi fanfics here* Of course he is. ;p
I have yet to successfully read a Drizzt novel. I've tried twice, but I just haven't been able to get past the first 50 pages or so.
RAS is also the same guy who killed off Chewbacca in the Star Wars New Jedi Order(I don't care if it was a group decision).I think this guy kills off fan favorites in the lamest way possible sometimes.The only truly meaningful fan favorite death was Cadderly.That part actually was good for the story and was pretty respectful of the character.But killing off Cattie-brie like that was a complete waste.
Before this topic starts to veer off into RAS-bashing (which seems to be looming on the horizon), I'd like to remind everyone as a precautionary step that severe criticism of the authors has been known to attract the attention of the ORCs. So, let's try to keep this constructive, and primarily focused on The Ghost King, not its author.
And though I have yet to read TGK, I won't begrudge RAS for giving his characters the fates he desires. They are his to do with as he pleases, so long as WOTC does not overrule him (which does not often happen in his case).
I meant no disrespect to RAS.He is still one of the greatest fantasy authors of all time.The Ghost King is still a great read, even though the ending was dissapointing.
Manny is just saying that RAS bashing got novel discussions banned on these forums years ago. So toning it down from 11 to about 5 would be adviseable.
RAS got me into FR in 1987. I liked most of his stuff at the time but got tired by Drizzt's stagnation as a character. I liked the evolution of Artemis and Jax but wish Drizzt would receive some of that same treatment. Anyway is it was not for RAS I would probably not be much of a reader or a gamer.
Yeah all this bashing makes me feel bad to find Drizzt to be one of the most fascinating fantasy characters I've read about in years. I find him very similar to Marvel or DC superheroes in terms of powers and the way he's written about. People don't bash Batman for not changing every storyline, but Drizzt is hated for being pretty much the same character as he waas 20 years ago. Granted I've only read up to about halfway through The Silent Blade.
Anyway, I am excited to read about the Ghost King. I actually just purchased the Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide, so it's interesting to read what it said about the Spirit Soaring in conjunction of what I've read here.
Quick question though. From those that read the book: what happened to Bruenor? The Campaign Guide says Old King Bruenor died, but the book seemed to show him alive. Didn't know if maybe he just transported to 1479 in a way that would seem him dead. Read the last few pages of the book because I had to know what happened and it seemed he was good to go.
I would like to clear up a few things. First I liked the book. Was it the best, no. Was it the worst? Far from it. I started this post out of frustration. I'm sure that it was written that way too. I can not imagine what it is like to have developed that many characters over that much time and then have to loose them. That being said most of the main characters were simplified and there personalities magnified with little explanation. The reason I believe this is because R.A. had too much too do and not enough pages. I did not mean to summarize this book, I just listed some of the strange things and, like the author, oversimplified them. Jarlax is not in love with Cattie-brie. Infatuated with, I believe so. Bruenor is not a fool who can only say "Elf" either but man did that ever wear thin. It just seems that if Danica and the kids, the town of Carradoon, Kimmeruel and the the Boulder shoulder brothers were left out somehow he could have focused on giving a little more insight into some of the decisions the characters made. So, should you read it, of course, If you are into D&D gaming at all or like to follow the lore. The revelations that Cadderly made make for some interesting assumptions about how and why magic still works. From this you can draw some excellent conclusions as to the use of magic in 4e.
Gee, I'm so glad I missed my chance for a free copy of TGK. What folly...
Oh well. I suppose RAS will just pry the money out of my coffers like he also does.
(Also, good to see Erianthe is back.)

Im kinda peeved i didnt get a free copy! if only i was on here sooner! Im not a huge fan of Drizzt but TGK sounds like it fills some gaps in the timeline, so if nothing else im gonna want to read it for that.
And i dont think ive had the pleasure of meeting Erianthe but im glad Erianthe is back as well
Yet more reasons as to why I avoid the novels like there's an outbreak of Ebola in town...

I didn't get a free copy either.... But then I have my copy ordered thru Amazon....
I bought my copy froom RAS's shop and got it signed
Well now aren't we special?
no, justs nuts.....
cadderly became truly one with ruins of spirit soaring cathedral, setting wards around it for all time to keep the dread dracolich cres=nshiwhatever trapped there.
would make for a good adventure dont you think, travel to the shadowfell and destroy idracolich and free cadderly from hios final task.... truelly epic.
Interesting, thanks. Did Cadderly also make some revelations about the nature of magic, or something? Seems like someone earlier said something to that effect.
Yes, magic by numbers (a la theme of the new 4E setting) He discovers Deneir obsessing over the failing Weave and becoming absorbed into it, thereby creating the Metatext, a seemingly new form of magic. All about mathematics, etc. It's like Deneir himself is the 4E god.
I was truly disappointed in this book. It is a HUGE copout in my opinion and I think RAS does not like the new setting all, as his writing wasn't enthusiastic. All the magical scenes felt hollow and without flavor. They were literally cut/pasted from the PHB and DP. GAH!
And all that buildup for Cattie and then kill her off?!?!? WTF. We barely even experienced her being a wizard!!! Okay so RAS gave her a spellscar, that did NOTHING but take her out of the equation completely. Even the main villain felt half-arsed. -sigh-
The ONLY part of the book I enjoyed was when Thibbledorf Pwent humped the dracolich's leg off. I LOL'd at that part.

Wasnt magic always about mathmatics? I always saw spells as like complex equations. I mean wizards still had to study the spells, or put some work into coming up with new spells. It wasnt like you was connected to the Weave and bam you could do magic. Actually I think they way 4e magic works i think it makes more sense to have a Weave to be connected to. But I guess this Metatext is the new Weave. Interesting. The more i hear about this book the more i want to read it.
I think that misses the underlying difference between sorcery and invocations versus the more disciplined and academic approach wizards use. Not to mention the subtleties of bardic magic. Were it just a matter of books and calculations, just about anyone could do it to some extent.

That is true. They probably should of just left it a little vague about magic rather than making up a new "Weave". Let people describe how it worked how they wanted. Still it is nice to know of Deniers fate. So i guess hes like the god of magic now? or perhaps Oghma?
Still it is nice to know of Deniers fate. So i guess hes like the god of magic now? or perhaps Oghma?
Going by 4E logic? No. Because if Deneir/Oghma was the open god of magic, Shar would know, and she would've made a move against either one, since it's been said she isn't letting anyone try to make a play for Mystra's vacant throne. And if one was the secret deity of magic? Shar would also know that, and would do the same thing. So, Deneir and/or Oghma's ties to magic is/are not solid enough to label either one a deity of magic, unless there's an element missing from this.
Yeah im not sure about this Metatext. It might make more sense to me once i read the book. Or maybe theyll clear it up in a future realms article or something?
the meta text didnt quite make since to me either.
And you actually read the book didnt you? Well hopefully well see some game info on it.
well we could go bug those over in the LFR section or hop over to RAS's website and ask him.
on the otherhand we could go ask someone else his take......
Pfft Shar. Corellon could totally take the mantle of God of Magic if he wanted, he has more Divine Ranks than she does.
That he hasn't, given his long association with elven magic and his power level, is more an indication that he doesn't want to, rather than that he can't.
I can see some other god mentioning it to him and him saying "God of Magic? Goodness no, ugh, I have enough to worry about with these damned elves/eladrin/half-elves/good-aligned drow/other fey creatures as it is, besides, I do it on the side anyway, no reason to start a big mess over it."
I think Elminsters the god of magic. I heard he cant cast spells now cause he hears voices in his head. I think those voices are prayers from the faithful hes pickin up. Year of the Ageless One? I betya Elminsters the Ageless One whos also Volo! Think about it, you ever see Elminster and Volo in the same place at the same time? Elminster does have the Hat of Disguise, and Volo always wears a hat! Coincidence? I think not!
little secret for you about MAster Volo.
he is covered by NDA
what more proof do you need?
proof for what, that he is immortal????
Just about everything in the Realms is smothered in NDA.
It would surprize me if Elminsters underwear became the new god of magic in the Realms.

Particularly when the Denieran clergy's job was to search for this "Metatext" in the first place.... Now to find out that Denier himself cause it to form? Can anyone extrapolate on this?
So during that novel Deneir lost his deity wrights and powers yes?
Do Cadderly could steel use his divine powers during adventures?

no Denier became merged with the metatext.
and the rituals for cleric would give power mroe or less.
Denier isnt dead, nor he is living
I suppose I shouldn't bring up the notion that Leira corrupted the Metatext a good long while ago... as that would probably confuse the issue too much. Oops, guess I just did...
thats just what she wanted you to think
I suppose I shouldn't bring up the notion that Leira corrupted the Metatext a good long while ago... as that would probably confuse the issue too much. Oops, guess I just did...
Corrupted is a little too strong aint it? I could see her influencing the metatext subtlety. I dont see corruption as really her thing. We are talking about the Goddess of Illusions right? and not the goddess of joy? I always get those two mixxed up, I think thats one of the reasons they "offed" her.
Hey at least he isnt talking about Shar...
Very true, now she would definatly be one to corrupt it.
The Shadowtext.
Stop giving WOTC ideas you two
Especially FREEBIE ideas. If you're gonna flaunt ideas like that, then get PAID for them.
Especially FREEBIE ideas. If you're gonna flaunt ideas like that, then get PAID for them.
That is a hell of an idea right there! We should get to work on that and submit it in! Of course im guessing they already got something in mind, there have been hints of the Shadow Weave being reformed. Theres all them Shades around the ruins of Ordulin trying working on it. Who knows all of the intersting things theyve already came up with?
Yeah seriously shut up before I send Erevan to steal your stuff.
Yeah seriously shut up before I send Erevan to steal your stuff.
NOOOOO!!! not my stuff!!!
You know, in a round-about way, Shar did bring about Deneir's destruction. Deneir seems to have only become obsessively interested in the Metatext with the destruction of the Weave, which was brought about by Mystra's death, which was orchestrated by Shar. Deneir's merge with the Metatext is the result of Shar (and Cyric) slaying Mystra and altering the state of magic. So, indirectly, Shar did in Deneir, by inspiring him to merge his soul with the Metatext in his pursuit of knowledge regarding the new structure of magic and the cosmos.

Yes! That does make alot of sense! All part of Shar's masterplan.
Nope, Leira corrupted it, weaving a gigantic, subtle falsehood into its truth that would unweave knowledge, or some such... a reality virus (in the computer sense) if you will.
Nope, Leira corrupted it, weaving a gigantic, subtle falsehood into its truth that would unweave knowledge, or some such... a reality virus (in the computer sense) if you will.
... And, my point was that Deneir took a gander into the snare Leira set because of Shar's actions. So, again, in a round-about way, Shar did play a role in Deneir's death. She brought about the magical maelstrom > Magic changed > Deneir looked to the Metatext for answers > Deneir is absorbed and ceases to exist as we know it.
No, Shar was a pawn in Leira's master plan, not the other way around. Sadly however, Leira was just a pawn herself in Corellon's master plan to bring pain and suffering to the mortals...
oh good drief
Dude, that is about as annoying as my 18DELTA(CHOSEN OF CYRIC)tm crap...
I was worried there for a bit Stigger, but if Corellon is behind the whole thing, then all is well.
Praise Corellon!
sorry Delta, I mean...
Praise Curellon!!!
you mean 18Delta serves the god of medicine ???
now why hasnt your god cured the spell plague???
you mean 18Delta serves the god of medicine ???

He can't cure that rash Araushnee left him with eons ago. You really think his doctor aspect can cure the Spellplague?

well now that you mention it....
So during that novel Deneir lost his deity rights and powers yes?Do Cadderly could stiil use his divine powers during adventures?
Deneir is gone, yes. Methinks he merged with the Weave to stabilize it and change it into something that doesn't require a deity to control it.
Cadderly himself stated in the book that Deneir stopped answering his prayers, and that his new powers are coming from an unknown source (most likely Oghma). His new powers reflect the new cleric system from 4E, ie a Divine Glow/Conserate Ground that follows him around burning foes and healing allies, Deneir's clerics still maintaining their powers even with his absence (being ordained and all that).

I am humbled by the depths of her wisdom and the reach of her plans. The bitterness and despair
of the Deneirans tastes sweet to the Lady of Night.well now that you mention it....
Your tears nourishes the Lady of Sorrows. CRY, my precious! My mistress licks your tears for they taste so, so sweet.
Bah, Shar only wishes she could compete with the misery and suffering Corellon and his Seldarine have brought to the world. She's an amateur comparatively. 
Ye Gods! Another Sharran? I just may have to switch over to Selune to balance things out.
And Stigger what is your beef with Corellon? Did he forget your birthday or something?
Bah, Shar only wishes she could compete with the misery and suffering Corellon and his Seldarine have brought to the world. She's an amateur comparatively.
And none can compete with all the suffering that Illmater endures.
Praise Torm
Praise Torm
Praise Torm, indeed!
Or, going by my current character, "Praise Denier and lets look for that metatext!!!" Ended up setting off a trap doing that.... going up to study a throne in the plane of shadow in the Cormyr line of modules.
Bejebuz. Praise Bejebuz or shut up. PLEASE! 
Selune!!!!
QFT
Moonmaiden's blessings!
And Stigger what is your beef with Corellon? Did he forget your birthday or something?
Yes. Corellon visits Stigger daily trying to make up for it, but Stigger is a big mean jerk and won't even listen to him. :<

Ahhhh thats too bad. We need an intervention and make those 2 sit down and work it out.

Right...

What do you mean another one? My Sharran pride was pretty well advertised before the forums underwent these changes. I miss my old sig. T_T
Figures Shar would take away the source of my joys. But that's okay, she can't help being what she is. :D

Speaking of which, have you and Nightseer duked it out to see who's Shar's favored? Because odds are, she values one of you more highly than the other...
Please. I fear no overgrown keebler god. My problem with him stems from his being bastard who hides his and his "chosen peoples" utter depravity behind a veneer of eco-friendly garbage. Sure, its all feel good and warm-fuzzy stuff on the surface, but get down to it and you're left with a bunch of people that would fit in with the ALF/PETA crowd quite nicely, content to unleash horrors upon the world so long as their unreasonable dogma is followed. Its a mentality of everyone being able to live their own lives free and easy, so long as it conforms to exactly what I say it should, otherwise we'll gut them... so not so free and easy afterall. They're just as bad as, if not worse than, humans in that respect.
Oh, yeah, and forget Shar/Selune... its so damned 3.x era. Been there, done that, what's next... Sune's the only way for me.
It's OK, Stigger, Corellon still loves you and is still willing to welcome you into his loving embrace whenever your heart heals enough to be able to open up to him. *pats your arm comfortingly*
Sorry, I have no need, much less desire, to be taken to the pits of the Abyss by that fiend or its cohorts. Sune and Sheela are more than enough for me. You have my sympathy that you have fallen for such a vile entity's charms, taken in by its seductive lies and whitewashing of history. Its my sincerest hope that you open your eyes and see the truth that history lays bare... that the Seldarine and their minions are evil incarnate. May the waters of Evergold wash away those lies you so ferverently cling to.

Which part? Stiggers anti Seldarine sentiments or Nai's hugging and patting?
Just dont mention that Sune is now part of the Seldarine, that will set both of them off
Sune is now part of the Seldarine....

Corellon, may your grace grant me the strength and self-control to not simply kill them all.
I told them not to say it!
No one ever listens to me!
Ye Gods! Another Sharran? I just may have to switch over to Selune to balance things out.
What do you mean another one? My Sharran pride was pretty well advertised before the forums underwent these changes. I miss my old sig. T_TFigures Shar would take away the source of my joys. But that's okay, she can't help being what she is. :D
Sorry I must of missed that. I knew Nightseer is servant of the Lady of Loss, and so then theres you too, and Im sure theres many, many more hiding in the shadows...

Nope. I checked, and slew all the ones I found. Nightseer and Angelus are the last of a dying breed, in these parts.

I'm afraid nobody listens to anyone
You're all sucky... crappy wingmen too.
And Sune is not part of those evil and murderous Seldarine. Its WotC/NeoCon propaganda trying to smear her good name... and you know who is behind it all...
The Halfling girl dancers?

The new smiley is not an improvement.
Speaking of which, have you and Nightseer duked it out to see who's Shar's favored? Because odds are, she values one of you more highly than the other...
You tell me.
Here's a clue: Who is the more active board member?

Yes you Sharrans duke it out for supremecy, giving me the diversion i need to sneak into Netheril!
Wait, did I just say that out loud?
thats okay, they dont care... not like Netheril did anything for them.
besides if Shar looses Netheril and they forget they heard you say it, then it forfills Shar's deal of forgotten secrets and loss.
Speaking of lame ways to go...
I told them not to say it!
No one ever listens to me!
Um...I've learned relatively quickly that there is a reason for that.

hey guys, the Mandates of Helm dictate this thread may end up for being locked as it is now off topic.
Drizzt is not lame
He started it!
doesnt matter.
it ends, now mandates of Helm and all
Bruenor was da bomb
All right. You are right. I just realized this isnt one of our Spam a lot threads. So back to serious discussions and spoilers.
So any word on Finder? I think hes dead or has been corrupted by Moander. There is a passage in the Campaign Guide about a pit of corruption around the Dalelands, sounds alot like Moander to me.
not that I've heard.
could ask ED, however the answer I can foretell is NDA.
we can ask about the pit though....
in my realms he is a primordal spirit.....
Ironic enough, you've become exactly what 18D used to be: A smiley happy freak.
I guess thats why they took my fun away.
I refuse to download smilies, when the forum I am on should provide me with all of the tools I needs for my tomfoolery!
The original smiley my comment was on before it was edited was a GIGANTIC, creepy as all hell smiliing smiley. The current one is less creepy, but still obnoxious.

Correct. Though feel free to PM me with any disgruntled comments. I'm here to listen.

aye, thats why I never used it.
To tell you the truth, I find that damn, dancing strawberry more offensive than the finger. If I was running the show, all dancing fruit would constitute an imediate ban.

Say no to Proposition Fruit!
So yeah... that was certainly a return to serious discussion...
Heehee!
Anyways, what did every1 think of Cadderly dying and haunting the ruins of Spirit Soaring as a spectral warden to the imprisoned dracolich?
What about Jarlaxle? I thought he has become the new Drizzt, with all the genuine compassion and heroism.
I'm glad the Bouldershoulder bruthas survived. I can't imagine a Faerun without the dwarf doodad. "oo oi!"
And what happens to Drizzt's and Catti-brie's foretold children? It would've been nice if they had a child at least before she went to Mylicky's Glade (auto-mated timer to keep ur heaven smelling great!). -_-
nothing said.
if anything its NDA

Enough with the NDA ****. It's driving me goonie.
It was kind of inevitable that serious discussion would drop off I think. With the barebones approach to fluff, do-it-yourself mentality, there just isn't much to stimulate discussion beyond "yeah, good idea" and "no, crap idea". Great if your into that approach, but it doesn't do much to offer meat to sink ones teeth into.

but there was this one, not nude though:
Sweet!
Thats better than Dancing Fruit any day.
I had this one DM once that used to throw the California Dancing Raisins at us. I always hated those guys, now more so.

Yup. The elf bimbo makes people retch whereas Lidda made guys....well......
I think I like the 3e "icons" rather than the ones they've got for 4e.
some of the artwork of said elf bimbo wasnt all bad.
this one is amogst the best
still the half-elf druidess and Lidda were the best looking in the majority of the 3.x iconic art

Oh, yeah. This thread needs to find a proper topic: Say, has DDI put out anything respectable on the demise of those lost to 4e at all?

Oh, yeah. This thread needs to find a proper topic: Say, has DDI put out anything respectable on the demise of those lost to 4e at all?
Quite right, after reading thru the posts it seems we turned the topic into who can find the biggest elf ears. As for DDI, no they havnt put out anything respectable on the demise of anyone, mostly just Realmslore stuff. So far theyve done articles on Returned Abeir, Cormyr, The City of Airspur, The Moonshaes, Eric Scott De Bie recently did an article on a Relegious Order dedicated to Torm that split off from the Night Masks in Westgate, Very, Interesting article, but no, no real Info on those lost to us in 4e.

Well you dont HAVE to be a member but it definately helps.
Especially to read articles like that.... And I don't have spare gp laying about....
I found most of the **** coming out of DDI sucked anyway. Must we revisit "The Headless Zhent" to prove this point?
actually, the eye if justice was good.
the drizzt one was good
the airispu ones were good.
the one on the 20th the third airspur one will be good too..
yeah I bought a months subscription......
Whats wrong with the Headless Zhent?
it was what , one of the exerpts from the FRCG, nothing is wrong with it, otehr than its a sleepy hollow cliche.

Probably no lamer than putting real world cultures into the Realms.... Maztica, anyone?
you forgot mulhaundi
Well, at least there is a basis to Maztica--not the Headless Zhent.
you forgot mulhaundi
Hey, Mulhorand actually pulled its weight and contributed to the region. It was a major player in the East. Shame it was ethnically cleansed by that picky Spellplague.
you forgot mulhaundi
That one too. Maztica was the first to come to mind, despite my friends' Ra jokes at our last FR game session....

I would say something but I'll bet there's something in the COC abt fantasy world "ethnic cleansing" that would get me into trouble for commenting...
So, I'm pleading the FIFTH. Of anything!
Let's not forget that this is the "Forgotten Realms". The two aforementioned countries relate to that.
It may not be what Ed had in mind from the start, but it sorta fits.

The Spellplague wiped out the Mulhorandi, and damaged the Mulan bloodline. The ravages of the Spellplague resulted in an ethnic heritage taking a severe hit. My description isn't really off the mark. The Spellplague is the murderer; I'm just the unbiased third party who survived the century and recalls what he saw.
But let us put the past behind us. What matters is.... Fzoul died miserably. Praise Ao!
As was common before I departed, if you couldn't explain it: "SPELLPLAGUE!!!"
F-fail would pretty accurately describe him, beat down or no...

I thought he was an exarch (whatever the frell that really is...) or something... but not "dead miserably". Heck. They couldn't even make up their mind if he was a blonde or a redhead..... 
I thought he was an exarch (whatever the frell that really is...) or something... but not "dead miserably". Heck. They couldn't even make up their mind if he was a blonde or a redhead.....
Well, he became an Exarch after dying. He died because the Netherese bombed the hell out of Zhentil Keep, and he got slain in the chaos. No blaze of glory, no honorable defense.... just slumping over and voiding his bowels like any ol' corpse. I consider that dying miserably for an NPC of his status.
As was common before I departed, if you couldn't explain it: "SPELLPLAGUE!!!"
And people thought that Star Trek Voyager sucked.....
Just an amusing aside... my players liked to refer to Fzoul as "F-fail" Chembryl after they solidly trounced him.
So would've loved for our earlier FR party, including my cleric of Torm, to have gotten the chance to kick his sorry *** all over the place... 
They (whoever They are!) thought ST: Voyager sucked mainly because it did...
Yeah. I gave up on it because it got stupid. Same with Enterprise until the last season.
When did this turn into the Star Trek thread?
Fine ill play along. I liked em all except the last one they put out with whats his name from Quantum Leap. The show was supposed to take place before the orginal seris but everything looked more high tech in that show WTF?
I also hated Deep Space Nine in the later seasons when it turned into a Space Soap Opera.
And the first couple of seasons of STTNG I thought sucked, once they got rid of the spandex uniforms and Ryker got a beard the show become watchable.

Because would you, the audience in today's times with today's SFX tech, watch a show with, what is now, primitive SFX tech? Probably not. If Roddenberry had done Trek today, it'd have today's SFX tech.
Blame Babylon 5 for DS9 becoming more serialized than it was... And dunno who to blame for all the romance on it...
Riker looked MUCH better with the beard.
What a lame way for this thread to go.
So what about Battlestar Galatica...
What a lame way for this thread to go.
What!? you dont like Star Trek?
It gives us something to do while we await another book release, and then someone can post more spoilers.

Lamer.

Yes, I like Star Trek just fine. But, perhaps, one of us could come up with something FR related to actually debate and discuss while we await--El' panties not included.

Which FR Gods would the Trek characters worship?
Which FR Gods would the Trek characters worship?
Im not sure, I think they would all be screwed on Toril, with no computers to tell them whats up or make lunch and tea for them. I dont know maybe they would worship Gond in hopes he could give them insight into how to create magical computers.
Bejebuz, you ****ing ninny's! Bejebuz!!! 
Hey its Realms related!
My ass it is! 
Well with all the portals on Toril, and wormholes in Sar Trek, Its very possible for the 2 to interact. They already did X-men abd Star Trek, So we can all hope for a Star Trek/Forgotten Realms cross over. My fingers are crossed.
I was kidding.
But If they did do a Star Trek/Forgotten Realms team-up thing i prpbably would buy it!
It would be a short series...
Something about the Prime Directive...
Wizard teleports to the bridge...
Whole planet full of Q's, bugger this...
Warp 9.9 in any direction, engage...
Insert an away-team in there somewhere and Ryker getting laid with the nearest non-human available, and maybe something with Picard's shirt off talking to El and making us all wonder what the hell was up with that one...
Yes! I think we found the one to write it!
I am going to start calling JD and Silver the forums "Bert and Ernie".
I just wonder who is the Pitcher, and who is the Catcher in their relationship?
I'm going with JD as the catcher...

Not funny
not funny at all.
I'm going with JD as the catcher...
ok its a little funny
I'm going with JD as the catcher...
I had it reversed myself.
JD is a whiny *****...so yeah, catcher would fit.
I really didn't like the way the ending of the book went however....
Athrogate and Pwent fighting as a team and cracking jokes = the WIN !!!
When they were aggravating Jarlaxle and Bruenor and Athrogate made the poem about his farting pig, I was cracking the hell up.
One thing I didn't understand is this....If Cadderly is sooo damn powerful that he can create a frickin castle out of nothing which is what he did with the Spirit Soaring, and can destroy a dracolich and all the shadow creatures by himself basically, why couldn't he heal Pikel and have his arm replaced.
At the very least he seems like he is a high enough level cleric to cast true resurrection so I think he could cast a heal spell with enough to give Pikel his arm back. After all REGENERATE is only a 7th level cleric spell.
I would love for Salvatore to do a dwarven trilogy which consists of Athrogate, Thibeldorf Pwent and Ivan and Pikel out adventuring together. At the very least I would like to see Pikel advance as a druid and see how the others advance. It would be entertaining to say the least kinda like Moe, Larry, Curley and Shemp if they were all dwarves and went adventuring.
I would also like to see a novel or story about nanfoodel the gnome from mithral hall as there are not any Gnome main characters or good gnome stories in any of the D+D worlds including DRAGONLANCE, FORGOTTEN REALMS OR EBBERRON.
I think that Salvatore needs to leave drizzt alone for a few years and come back to him with a fresh start and a few years rest from the character.
I would also like a good Wolfgar story....even though he's a Conan/Thor wanna be
After all, one of his sons is a wizard, one's a cleric and his daughter is a monk like her mom.
DRAGONLACE did a whole entire series of books about the next generation of heroes from the Chronicles heroes. It involved Caramon's son, tanis's kids and sturms kids.
I believe that Salvatore could do something like this with Cadderly's children.
If he does come back to Drizzt again, I'd like to see him and Ed Greenwood co-write a series starring Elminster and Drizzt together because if I remember right they are only 2 of a small handfull of people who survive the SPELL PLAGUE years.
I am going to start calling JD and Silver the forums "Bert and Ernie".
I just wonder who is the Pitcher, and who is the Catcher in their relationship?
Watch it, bud.
You'll certainly be catching it later. ;(
I'm going with JD as the catcher...
Envious much?
Dude, I laughed my ass off when I saw this was what you linked to.
But, if you listen to the lyrics, it pretty much describes my mindset.
Unfortunately, it appears that Ozzy and I have more in common than I believed. The lyrics are correct.
I wonder what their sex life was like? Was it all prim and proper, or wild and crazy with alot of kink thrown in.
Cadderly and Danica had kids? News to me...
yes from the impression I got from the book, his oldest son who is the wizard is like 24 or 25 years old. his daughter and other son are 21 or 22 ish.
it is noted in the book because of the magic of the spirit soaring that Cadderly looks younger than even his children.
And Bejebuz IS the Holy Taco. Where the hell you been?
Malt balls rock, BTW...
Cryic SUCKS! How about that for an update...
Corellon Rules!
Cryic SUCKS! How about that for an update...

Are you kidding Dook's all about the "Salty Balls" flavor being optional...lol On topic this book just like the others felt rushed to me...
Gaddammit, Drizztmanthingy--where the hell have you been?!! I've been here for a month and there's no word from you!

As far as EVIL gods go I kinda like him. I mean look and all the nasty, nasty stuff Cyric has done in just the short time hes been a god.
Bane has been a god for a while now and really what has he done? Stole the Tablets of Fate and enslaved goblins, not impressed.
Used another God to return to life...
Punks Fzoul out on a daily basis...
Bane brought Hoar to heel...

Priceless.
Yeah, Bane blows buckets of monkey snot. Just like that idiot Cryic...
Hey, I was trying to show Banes "finer" points.
Yeah, Bane blows buckets of monkey snot. Just like that idiot Cryic...
Bane has more finer points than Cyric the thievin' backstabber does. Cyric was such an a-hole to his fellow party members prior to his godhood.
Bane has been a god for a while now and really what has he done? Stole the Tablets of Fate...
Which was a monumental move--one that left the Realms in utter chaos as a consequence. And lets not forget that he actually returned from the dead in a very unconventional manner. Both required a strong amount of plotting, scheming, and balls.
Bane brought Hoar to heel...
Used another God to return to life...
Punks Fzoul out on a daily basis...
And the other two points my man states here.
Got his ass handed to him by a Lesser God.....
Priceless.
Circumstances at the time--otherwise, it would not have happened.
Dook: Haven't been to fond of this new update...makes it harder to post with my phone like I was able to....to bad they don't have a mobile site...lol.....but nothing much....how ya been.....rule of thumb ....always have a bottle stashed in case of theiving wenches.lol To all Cyric haters..Cyric made the Gods interesting....lol...because he continuously brought his sphere's to the Gods as well as the mortals......While the rest of the boring Pantheon were to concerned with themselves and how many worshippers they had Cyric was killing Gods left and right...
Eh, not fond of it myself, but hope we can change that soon. Though, I wasn't aware that you always posted with a phone--no wonder your grammer always sucked.
I'm doin'--though, obviously not too well. I mean, I came back to this joint for some anusement.
Anyways, missed you, my man. Do hope you stick around and return to full time.
Lol...forgive my ignorance....it has been awhile since I read the trilogy..I know what happened at the end of Tantras..with both avatars being destroyed...but I don't seem to recall Bane being more than a Shadow essence in Waterdeep.....Did he come back?
Nope he didnt come back, he stayed dead, until 3e. But there are some who whisper that Bane is still dead, and Iyachtu Xvim just decided to use his fathers name instead, because no one could pronounce Iyachtu right.
Jaralxe=Chaotic Stupid...If you don't believe he has something up his sleave, well then I got ocean front property in Evereska to sell ya.

Lol...forgive my ignorance....it has been awhile since I read the trilogy..I know what happened at the end of Tantras..with both avatars being destroyed...but I don't seem to recall Bane being more than a Shadow essence in Waterdeep.....Did he come back? Well back on topic I think its safe to say that this book solved the debate on Jarlaxles alignment..
No ignorance, I just didn't get Darth_Goofy's point about "home turf".
But, yeah, consensus is that he came back. And I am sure you are aware of that, you dope.
Dook: lol I know he is supposedly back now you toad licking turtle tapping tramp....
Only two of those are correct, you lying ****tard. Stop spreading false rumors!!
And no. That wasn't a damn malt ball this time.
....just referring to the battle...which BTW neither avatar won...Midnight saved the day while Torm endangered the city.
Do you ever pay attention?
---
And, yes, I read the book, you ninny--probably while you were still learning to potty train, but still....
Dook: lol I know he is supposedly back now you toad licking turtle tapping tramp....just referring to the battle...which BTW neither avatar won...Midnight saved the day while Torm endangered the city.. 18Delta: Lol..if you're going to insult a person you should at least get the spelling of said name right! Lol.. I take it that neither one of you 2 read this book....?
I thought I was spelling his name right.
No I haven't read the book. I doubt I will. I would prefer to get infected with the Ebola Virus, than have to read even more about Drizzit...
its so lame
take it to pm please......
its so lame
QFT
Praise Torm
motha funk Torm.
Seriously.
The only good thing about Torm is that he creates opportunities for situations where both the protagonists and antagonists are good aligned. Mostly with servants of Torm as the antagonists, dying painfully.
Speaking of gods.
Mask.
I miss Mask almost as much as I miss Shaundakul.
Has there been anything on what happened to Shaundakul?
Also, did Mask really let Shar absorb him to regain her full divinity?
really?
Sounds more like the kind of thing he'd pretend to do.

Corellon, may your grace grant me the strength and self-control to not simply kill them all.
You're being too sentimental. The world would be better without them. Go ahead, kill them all. They deserve it. :P
I had no issues with the book, or any of Salvatore's books really.
It would be disappointing place to end the series, but I think Salvatore will bring out a few more at least. I at least want to see how Drizzt's new attitude will play out.
