I cant remember her name right now (Jaheira?), but the female druid will be the one who gets the nifty fire elemental spell! If you dont have her in the party, consider it. She also gets insect swarm, some heals, cures etc. Plus you can stick her in armor and send her up front, or keep her back...

how are those beholders coming along? Just saw this thread. Have to say I cannot remember exactly how I beat them, but I can tell you my strategies for tough opponents in the game. I usually would rely heavily on the thieves trap ability. Those things did tons of damage, even to the mind...

I had an interesting theory (more of a hypothesis at this stage :) ) on what may happen later in the series. This post will contain spoilers of things that happen up to the end of A Storm of Swords. I scanned through the posts here so far and saw a lot of little posts pointing in this direction...

hmmm.... I **assumed** Edric's father was an unnamed brother of Arthur, Ashara and Allyria, but I just assumed that based upon something he said. I could have misinterpreted. I seem to recall him referring to both Ashara and Allyria as "aunts". I cant remember where it was that he was...

Just finished my re-read of A Storm of Swords by George RR Martin. I will be starting Brimstone by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child tonight. I continue to make my way through Plan of Attack by Bob Woodward, but stop frequently because the battle inside of me between anger and depression...

Thats right isnt it? Dondarrion knighted everyone is his brotherhood. I remember the Hound suggesting that he knight his horse also while he was at it. :) It would be interesting to watch Gendry become a true warrior knight. Those Baratheons are all very dynamic characters.

Davos spirited Edric away from Stannis and Mel towards the end of ASOS. Im glad too, Mel's thirst for his blood was one of the creepier aspects of this series. :( Gendry was a very likable and important character with strong ties to Arya. Im sure we will run into him again, but as far as a...

I have just recently gotten into this show and I am loving it. It feels truly deep and gritty without an overwhelming sense of despair. I cant wait until the season one dvd's come out and I can sit and watch them all at once! Yes, Starbuck is great too!

I went with the second option with reservations. When I hear "new" I tend to think of new vs. used. So new can mean anything that is not used. Having worked in bookstores for many years, I also tend to think of someone stating: "Author X's new book" which can mean the author's latest...

With Gregor in my opinion there certainly is no question. With Tywin Im not entirely sure. He certainly seems like one stone cold S.O.B. but there is that single paragraph towards the end of the 3rd book. Kevan raises his voice for the first time (actually taking Tyrion aback with the emotion...

You took the words right out of my mouth Culhwch. There is also the fundamental difference between Thoros and Mel's personalities and backgrounds. Mel is an actual practicing priestess who truly seems to believe what she is saying. Thoros was almost "out of the business" so to speak, at the...

I concur, an excellent point. I expect to see a much different Jaime from now on.

Im going to deviate from the norm a bit here. For Fantasy I love the written word, but for Sci-Fi I prefer film or TV series. Why? Im not really sure. Its just the way it is! :)

I dont think Arya felt safe around Bolton. I know that she considered telling him who she was, but reconsidered. Im not sure if there was anything specific that was said or done that made her decided not to or if it was just a feeling she had. I think the Brave Companions had something to do...

Very well thought out Sword OTM. Of course my ears perk up when the subject of the Frey's is brought up. Im wondering how Littlefinger will respond to Catelyn's murder??? I **hope** we will get more than just filler. Im thinking our journey into Dorne is going to be quite interesting. It is...

Im there without question! We're gonna party Greatjon style! Anyone who comes from outside of Ohio to hang with us will drink free on me and **may** get a commemorative t-shirt.

Ditto what you just said. Jon, Bran, Arya and Robb have all shown skill at being leaders as well as survivors. Bran may have needed the Reeds to prod him along and make suggestions, but is doing quite well for himself in spite of his injury. Robb made some foolish mistakes, more than likely...

The Hound is a hard core S.O.B. straight out of some old spaghetti western. Ive just re-read the scene where he tracks Dondarrion to the sept, stumbles in and demands his gold back while surrounded by armed members of the brotherhood. Man I love that character. Particularly when he suggests...

Yes, it does have Parris listed as the proprietor. I checked today. I also noted that the "in stock" list hadnt been updated since 2003. :( :( So I think Ill await someone elses recommendation before attempting to order. Its kind of a shame. I think there is a real opportunity being missed...

Wow. I never was a big Catelyn fan, but I wasnt prepared for the vitriol so recently expressed. My take was that she was overcome by the losses around her. Bran's near death, the next attempt on his life, Ned's execution, the subsequent deaths of many of Winterfell's finest at King's...
