Well, not quite that simple.
One group of heavens are going to Murgatroid, other groups are going elsewhere.
There are demons, D’Orcs, orcs, humans, avatars and gods running around all over the multiverse in book 3. I almost need a journal to keep track of it all.
[quote=Tizzy;3170]Well, I have never seen the Concordenax change shape or form.
Always looks the same to me, leathery hide and all.
But then as I’ve observed, the Concordenax has been missing for some time now and perhaps that’s why no one can find the Concordenax?
There are certainly a lot of people looking.
[/quote]its comments like this that make me think that…
[spoiler] the concordenax isnt so much a “who” as it is a “what”, possibly book shaped and leather bound? missing and hunted by many?
[/spoiler]Hmm, her comments make me think she’s a dark priestess.
Those are my favorite kind of course, you know support the Dark Forces and all.
Although some times there are priestesses of the Light, of Fire, who are pretty dark, Take my good friend Melisandre over in Westeros; theoretically a priestess of the light, she has one seriously dark soul.
That being said, she’s a hoot to debate philosophy with. Don’t much like her kid though. Kid is too much into the whole smoke and mirrors sort of thing. Well, mostly smoke….
You know, for once, I’d like to see a new fantasy TV series start from a close-up shot of a king’s face. You know, like they so often do.
But this time, the king’s in trouble. He’s in terrible pain. His forehead is furrowed by deep wrinkles. It’s almost like he’s succumbing to some terrible spell.
We can hear his heart beating, and everything else far away, muffled…
You hear someone yell off-camera: “My Lord … My Lord” and the camera slowly pans out to reveal the royal lavatory.
Something to break the monotony of the idealised kings, queens and generals borne in the imaginations of middle-class city dwellers so deeply ingrained with the bourgeoisie values of our basically just western societies that they don’t have a chance of identifying the blinders of prejudice holding their storytelling back.
[quote=Tizzy;3352]You do, however, have to admit, that GoT went to pot when Tyrion killed his father.[/quote]
I have neither read or watched GoT past the first 20-50 pages.Back to the topic of what we’d like to see in the next book. Someone who can pop a cap in a Chaos Malestrom or an errant archdemon.
Someone who, like Tom, has a code. Because a man, demon or not, has to have a code.
[img=http://cdn.hitfix.com/photos/809823/omar-community-michael-k-williams_featured_photo_gallery.jpg]Omar[/img]On the GOT issue.
Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) killed his father, “the hand of the king”/regent while his dad was on the castle crapper. Epic scene. Crossbow bolt through the heart. And it was well deserved.
A code is very important, D’Orcs (orcs) like codes.
They are a bit different than what we usually think of, but they are codes. For example, everyone knows that Superman has a code against killing (until last movie); where as D’Orcs (and orcs) have a Code in Favor of Killing. “The best enemy is a dead enemy.” etc. I am sure we all know that standard orc words of wisdom.
Code/Shmode. I want to see reactions to the Great Battle (or whatever the D’Orcs are calling it). Especially in Murgatroy, Freehold, and the Courts.
The expressions on Team Tiernon when they get a copy of Damien’s balling of the battle. Priceless…
Don’t think Damien balled it; he wouldn’t have brought a recording ball with him.
You think a member of the Council of Wizardry, a renowned Conjurer (among other accomplishments) is going to want a video and audio record of him partying in the Abyss?
Antefalken on the other hand was watching and taking notes, he actually spends most of Book 3 busy scribbling away and interviewing participants for his next epic ballad. Of course, the problem is, he makes his money playing these ballads for the archdemons and princes, pretty sure none of those on Lilith’s side of the courts are going to want to hire him to play this ballad. In fact they might want to torture him horribly for a few thousand years.
However, there will be plenty of that sort of jaw dropping for Team Tiernon in book 3. Just over other events.
[quote=Gelcube;3376]Antefalken used one of Damien’s balls to record the battle.[/quote]
Wouldn’t it be strategically disadvantageous for that kind of objective information to fall into enemy hands?
Currently, Lilith can only debrief the survivors who dug themselves out of the mud, since any overwatch would have been ineffective because of the rather surprising weather conditions in Abyss. Any information provided by the survivors would be rather patchy and concentrate on the most notable events.
Antefalken balled it?
Dang bard, I didn’t know he’d done that. But he’s been squirrelled away lately scribbling his song.
And I’ve just been so busy, what with discovering a crack in the basement and all.
I wonder if he also has a copy of the battle with Talarius? after all the work I’ve been doing, I’d like to settle down with my pipe, relax and binge watch a good action series balling.
Since he was under that net thingy with you and Rupert, I doubt it. Still, there’s lots of copies of THAT battle rolling around.
Exactly. They are very entertaining, and tasty, sometimes a bit dry and cardboard like; sort of like a saltine cracker.
However, you douse them in some Sriracha and they go down well.
Winter, so glad you finally got here! It seems like it’s been years now; people kept telling me you were coming, “Winter is Coming! Winter is Coming” but then it seemed like you’d never show up. Just so thrilled you finally got here!
But…Tom doesn’t need lawyers for merchandising. He just needs his good friend Tizzy to help him get the stuff out there! I mean, really, who better, right?
Bobble heads, …wait, we’ve had this conversation before!
Forum Repeat! Semi-seriously, Tom really does need to get his promotional team together. Guess that’s what AoD will be about. After all, what are apostles but a really dedicated advertising team?
