And that she was so annoying about it was very... er, halfling. I LIKE your Mazzy, while in the game I really don't. You give her the humanity... er halflinglity she lacks, and she doesn't come off as such a smug zealot as I experience her in the game.

One way I can definitely make sense of the game Mazzy is that she doesn't want to deal with her grief, and concentrates on her crusade against Eeeevil instead. Unfortunately, by doing so she has a lot of undealt-with anger in her system, and she uses her paladinish beliefs as a morally excusable outlet for that anger. She also doesn't want to reflect too much, and concentrates on the 'smiting' part of the LG beliefs. (Your interpretation may of course be different, this is the feeling I get of her).

Hmmm, perhaps I could write my own Mazzy story... it would end in either her realizing her own imperfection and embracing the grief, weeping for Patrick and then riding to fight evil with wiser heart... or in a case of a darker story, the Law and Order evil overlady I scetched in the last quizz, if you read that one.

You too, eh? Some people think I'm insane because I like him ;)

Well, I might be, but not because of that. He is, like Peri puts it, so endearingly guilt-free.

In a way, a Percy of seadogs! Har, har! ;)

Yes, but it must still hurt. ;)

Rofl! I totally agree! I always kept playing his game even though I *knew* he'd betray me. And when he always did, I just couldn't help but laugh.

Lol!

Unfortunately, Witchblade isn't showing in my country, so I had to visit their website to take a look at that oriental cop. I agree with your nomination. Jonny Woo would be a great Yoshimo.

Thanks, and I did! What a beautiful poem. And to think John Masefield wrote it when he was only 22 (according to what I read). Yes, I believe Yoshimo would find it very significant indeed. I so hope he can find freedom.

I think Vin Diesel would work for Sarevok. and Drew Barrymore with her hair dyed red for Nalia.

I suppose they'd do the movie after the book, though, and let's just say that would kinda suck.

A few weeks ago, Danny Woo (William Yun Lee) was doing a martial arts workout with his hair tied back, and I said to myself, "Now he could play Yoshimo!" He's like I always imagined Yoshimo, he looks like a little guy but with his shirt off... great muscles!

Now *that's* a mental image! The website didn't tell much (or anything) about the actor himself, just a bit about the character. So it's Danny, not Jonny (unless that's the character's name...?)

Anyway, thanks for the extra info, and for the juicy daydreaming 'material' ;D. I'll be on the lookout if the series ever comes here. ;)

Oh yes... Vin is SO hot.

Oh bloody yes. The TOB book is the worst excuse of literature I have ever read, and they say the other books are even worse. And of course, only Minsc, being good and stuff would make it to the party of my favourite NPCs. Him and sarevok.

Have you seen any of his movies? His voice is perfect for Sarry.

Danny Woo is the character, William Yun Lee is the actor.

It's a great series. It isn't until the second season that Danny gets to show that he has a very wry sense of humor, which is another thing that reminded me of Yoshimo.

Unfortunately not... but I have seen his picture... droool... and the girl who pointed him out to me informed me of the voice as well.

I recomend 'Pitch Black', a sci-fi movie. Not because of the movie per se, which I thought was pretty lousy, but because Vin actually has *glowing* eyes in it.

I found a website with some of movie's voice clips. Vin's character is called Riddick. You should find the clips further down the web page.

Well.... Maybe one of them.

> Mazzy is being very invasive, and not very nice.

She thinks she is doing the right thing for Jarran. To her, Jaheira is a woman of the world, and Jarran is much less experienced. It's her maternal streak coming out.

> Poor Jarran, having to hear his worst fears vocalized. Still, Mazzy should

I'm sure that she wouldn't have if she had had any idea that Jarran was listening.

> I bet Jarran knows lots of Silence spells. :-)

Hehehe.

> *sniff* This is Yoshimo's last chance at happiness before Spellhold. :D

And the poor thing knows it. He doesn't trust Irenicus one bit.
