I found the quote:
"Apt Geraden will make an honest husband for some dull woman with her mind in her belly, a strong passion for motherhood, and much tolerance for accidents."
A little knowledge is still better than no knowledge.

Agreed; it paints a memorable portrait, and has a sense of melodic balance about it: almost poetic.

He did. A bit of a softball, actually. That's why I want to give someone else a chance to answer it. ;)

Who were the little monsters that Geraden futilely threatened?
"Come back here you little monsters!" he roared. "I'm going to [...] until your heads fall off!"
Also, what was the exact quote, IS?
His brother's children? And IIRC it was "towel you" but I could be wrong. :D

Indeed. :) I would caution that Avatar's apostrophe is in the wrong place for this context; but I agree, it is close enough to count.

Damn, I suppose I have to ask a question. :D

What was Havelock wielding when he chased Vagel through the glass?

I'll answer if nobody besides us three are currently playing, but I'd like to see some new blood here. :)

The way you phrased it I thought you meant the first confrontation when he destroyed Vagel's cabal in Cadwal.

Hmm I haven't read the books in years so I will have to ask a easy question to keep the game moving along.

What does Terisa 'hear' the time her and Geraden successfully consummated their desires? <<trying to be delicate in my wording here :D

Thanks for participating! Since you're right, this is an easy one, I'll leave it for the moment to see if we can draw out any other lurkers. :)

Wow I guess it was a little more difficult then I realized. I guess that scene stood out to me and I remembered it all these years later.

Anyways...keep guessing out there :)
