In this corner, one missing Shroud, one impossibly and thoroughly dead corpse, one dedicated and deadly vampire warlord, three holy knights, twenty-nine fallen angels, and a partridge in a pear tree.

And in the opposite corner, one tired, bruised, underpaid professional wizard, threatened by his allies and about to get dumped by his would-be girlfriend for John Q. Humdrum.

Oh, yeah.

Definitely bedtime.

"Hate these things. They’re attracted by the smell of death. It’s their food.”
“But the pyres,” Logan said. “We burned the dead!”
“So they want their food cooked.”

“There is absolutely no need to ring an incredibly loud bell at this end when you want to talk to me! I'm crazy, not deaf! You know I don't like loud noises. Or squirrels..."

I tossed him the keys to Marsilia’s car. “Take the car, it’s over by the garbage bins three buildings that way.” I pointed appropriately. “Get to Kyle’s house but don’t speed. You have a body in the trunk and no child car seats.”

"And we used to have a giant mechanical spider," I said, leading Molly through the exhibits. "We confiscated it from some American mad genius, back in the Wild West. Not entirely sure what happened to it. I think it ran away."

“Look,” I said. “I don’t give a wet slap whether you’re gay or not. But I have to ask. How can Roger be your... partner, when he’s also your stepbrother?”

Harry smiled crookedly. “If his being a hellspawn doesn’t bother me, why should anything else?"

"I just turned them all into toads and dumped them in the rock gardens for a while, to let them think things over. They’re fine now. Except for a slight tendency to snap at passing flies.”

Washing a filthy Irish wolfhound is entirely unlike washing a Chihuahua. It takes three or four buckets of water just to get the wolfhound thoroughly wet, for example, while one bucket will most likely drown the Chihuahua.

"What? Haven't any of you ever studied game theory? If you can't win, you do the next best thing: you make sure your enemy can't win, either. It works more often than you'd think, because it changes the parameters of the game without your opponent's permission. Often even without their knowledge. You're not playing to win any longer. You just want to keep them from winning, and that's a lot harder to stop."

~ "Guild Wars: Ghosts of Ascalon" by Matt Forbeck & Jeff Grubb

I don't even know why but this quote resonated deeply with me. I've always loved books and movies that are about tactics, about outsmarting your enemy - and if it's not possible, taking them with you when you go down. There's just something about this determination to make your enemy pay...

It occurred to Ivan that while Nanfoodle's efforts might help secure Mithral Hall, it was also quite possible that he would destroy the whole complex in the process.

I love the gnome Nanfoodle and the Bouldershoulder brothers! LOL! They're a hoot.

He'd learned that however odd a thing might seem, if Yimt did it it was worth copying... except when it came to recipes... and crute... and drink... actually, there were a lot of exceptions, but often the dwarf got it right.
