[quote][quote]I'm so behind on commenting it's not even funny.
I'll keep on of course, but don't really see how I can hope to catch up until I spend all my waking time doing it.

Oh, you may safely pass mine.
On this weekend, everyone deserves rest and reading Laufey's stories!
[/quote]
Awww, thank you.

Imagine the wondrous magic that surely has to be hidden in there – and it is going to be mine, all mine! Well, he would share with his lover, certainly, but he after all was the one of them capable of the more advanced spells, and that meant he could look forward to a veritable treasure trove.
Surely a mage as ancient as this Lavok is must have gathered a great arsenal by now. Well, once the ranger has his way with him, he won’t be needing it any longer. [/quote]

Edwin definitely has his survival instinct turned off.
What about monsters, demons, strange dimensions, Lavok? No, he thinks only about scrolls...
[/quote]
I'm afraid he's pretty hopeless about this!

[quote]Only…suppose something had gone wrong? Edwin nervously fiddled with the amulet at his throat, trying to adjust it. It was still uncomfortably cold to the touch, if not quite as icy as before. There was the taste of burning acid in his mouth as he tried and failed to suppress the hideous scenarios his imagination kept painting. [/quote]

No worries, Edwin! Whatever you're trying to imagine is irrelevant, I'm sure: your scribe will certainly think of something much, much worse.
[/quote]
Absolutely.

[quote]Valygar, as it happened, was approaching the Sphere with a dreamy, distant, yet apprehensive look on his face. As they drew closer it became that the thing wasn’t simply squeezed in between the houses – it was actually
inside some of the houses, passing through walls and ceilings in a way that seemed utterly impossible and gave you a headache if you looked at it for too long. “Yes…” the ranger muttered. “This is the Planar Sphere, here in the slums. If I am right…my blood, my presence…should open the Sphere.” [/quote]

*closes her eyes and imagines Xan's droning voice:* "So, we are to bid our last farewell to the sky, before we are to die inside of this... thing. Well, at least, our grave will look
remarkable."
[/quote]
Hee, I like that!

[quote]“Then let us not keep him waiting,” Anomen firmly said, thumbing the hilt of the Flail of Ages. “Too long has that mage’s evil been allowed to reign unchecked.” [/quote]
[/quote]
[quote]
Dear sweet Ano.
[/quote]
Yep, he's a sweet man all right.
[quote]
“Excuse me?” Valygar asked. “We are on a mission to slay my evil ancestor here!”[/quote]
[/quote]

Yes, I'm sure everyone would feel better if Zaerini would wait until they'd stumble on the first supply of magical treasure. Then she'd raise an eyebrow at Valygar, and he would say: "Help yourself. None of this interests me in the slightest". This way, it'd be more tactful, I think.
[/quote]
[quote]
But as it's Rini and her band...
[/quote]
Oh, he doesn't mind her helping herself to the treasure - it belongs to the Evil Necromancer, so he doesn't especially want it. He just wants to be sure she's not forgetting about Lavok, that's all.

[quote]“Feet of clay,” Jan commented. “Not a very practical idea, but still better than my cousin Dudders who had feet made for walking. Prosthesis you see, after paying off a gambling debt that he’d been sure he’d be able to settle. So, being the generous, giving gnome that I am, I made him mechanical feet regulated by his own willpower.”[/quote]

You know, I've just had a chilling feeling, as if I got inside of your mind. There was a list there: "Dialogue with a familiar - check. Valygar's brooding - check. Minsc's rant about Evil - check. Zaerini and Edwin's cuteness - check. Jaheira's witty remark - check. Jan's story - check."
Now, let's read to the end of the chapter and see whether the last item, "Evil cliffhanger", presented itself.
[/quote]
I'm not getting too boringly predictable, am I?

[quote]“Oh, bother,” it said. “There I’d almost figured out how the horsies move compared to the little houses and you come and bother me. Typical, innit? Right, here goes.” He cleared his throat. “Initiating airlock lockdown. Core ignition sequence initiated.” Edwin jumped as there was a swishing sound behind him, and a metallic thud as the exit door slid shut. Somewhere deep beneath his feet, something started humming loudly. [/quote]

[quote]
Let me guess - it was a Linux operating system!
[/quote]
More like a Holly one.
[quote]
“Yes!”
[/quote]
[quote]
“Oh. Well, no harm done. Might as well skip to the end, then. Three, two, one…blast off!”
[/quote]

[quote]
LOL!

Red Dwarf reference here. If you haven't watched that show, you should.

[quote]Next: Back to Dekaras, who is under healer's orders to rest and take it easy. As if...[/quote]

By the way, Rini had an Elminster in her vision. I've been waiting ever since. Will we see the old coot soon?
[/quote]
I haven't forgotten about old Elmo. The gang will run into him, in not too long...
Rogues do it from behind.
