Not sure how they can get towels on the planes of meat. . .
Well that’s more sense but what I meant was having Vladimir and Company going “against orders” to find a snack.
Because vampires are known to want posts of tasty fresh food the go ahead of the normal recon party’s to capture a fleeing refuge or eat a soldier. You could then, instead of having Rede thinking about being forced to kill his meals, actually told to.
So we know Tal, as I call him, has the dagger that killed Orcus and can kill any animus polarized being correct? So he has had this butter knife for a while obviously. From what his wife? Melissance said he was nasty and didn’t think about how dishonorable his actions when she was ghoulified. Is that a word? Anyway I’m re-reading bk1 and am 60% through and making mental notes and physical what Tal has done with and without EM. I don’t know if the stories people who knew Tal before bk1 starts and they tell other people are before or after the knife though. So unless we find out in a future book or side story or something, all his past missions are considered EMed :).
Just remembered Talalrius got the knife when he became head knight rampant of Tiernon in astlan. That’s when he got it right? If no one remembers don’t worry about it i’ll get there in bk2 when sentir fallon probably mentions it.
So main the reason for this post is a quotes by barbarus in bk1 saying things like “[b]he fought two demons in his underwear and two daggers[/b]” or “[b]there was very little he considered overwhelming odds[/b]” or “[b]he’d blindly lead men into battle and emerge unscathed but alone[/b]” or “[b]a man to good to be true, barbarus thought, almost not human.[/b]” My favorite one and what seems like foreshadowing for The Inferno is “[b]Talarius was a natural leader; men would literally follow him to the abyss and back. Unfortunately the only one who would make it back would be Talarius.[/b]”
Now are these a result of him being a natural bad a ass and/or the cap ton of magical stuff in and under his armour. Or, and what I think is most likely, has The Butter Knife™ changed and warped him into this person.
Will update more funny quotes of bk1 that are my favorite after I’m done re-reading. I’ll share my favorite so far. Little corny but I Loled for 5 minutes waiting for my teacher to come one and had people looking at me funny. Anyways boggy starts with,
” “. . . by the way Tom, just how old were you, before you got captured, I mean how old are you now?” Boggy asked as the thought just hit him. “Sixteen. why?” “Sixteen! Notorious Dame’s skirts you could almost be British what with your stiff upper lip and all. Right ho! Taking it like a man!” [b]”Or de-man” Tizzy exclaimed.[/b]”
Well there’s the welcoming comity aka tizzy so getting directions to the courts isn’t hard. Also when being first summoned they are generally imps or sprites and are enslaved for centuries and low power.
The point you talk about (tizzy opening the portal for Edwyrd), Tom has to do the mental digging from tizzys link to Gastrope, Tom knew about the demon binding on tizzy. But in chapter 134 Tom talks about summoning tizzy and the accursed master thing comes up. Now I’d think this was a mistake, but Tom has a lot on his plate and I can reliable believe he simply forgot. I’d asume this is true but not 100% sure.
Got addressed in the conversation between Jenn and Gastope, when they talked about what Gastrope meeting Tal Gor. Gastope also called Tom Lord Tommus in that conversation.

Krinna shivered. “Do you have any idea what he could do if he were able to use this to trap someone on a material, unable to their [h]got[/h] pool unable to escape?”
[/quote]Well I loved reading it and looking for mistakes. Great book, and a good continuation of the first one. But I’m going to guess and say book 3 is not the ending to this series so the cliff hangers should be saved for the end of the series if you want to do something in that universe or for the ending of the second to last book. Still loved the stories.
