The Mordant's Need Trivia Game (Spoilers!!!)
Moderator: Cord Hurn
Well Cord Hurn's clue confused me as to what the answer might be - but here goes nothing.
I am remembering that the Domne did not care that much about Joyce's war except for fighting and protecting his own Care. The King appreciated that the Domne had such loyalty to the people in his Care.

Not every person is going to understand you and that's okay. They have a right to their opinion and you have every right to ignore it.
Hmmm the only thing more specific I can think of right now is that when Joyse asked how many men could spare Domne said none. The Domne wanted to use his men to protect his sheep. The King was first in shock, then the King and Domne had a good laugh and became friends.
Is that more where you were heading?

Congratulations on winning control of the question, Sam! Well done!!! You remembered the scene quite accurately, I believe.
You didn't need my clue anyway, because of your having a firm grasp on how that scene plays out! Great job, and I'm happy to await your question!
Above, I wrote:I may need to count on sleep to get to this answer.
Sorry, Sam, I guess my clue was just too cryptic to be any good. I was thinking about how the Domne was concerned towards King Joyse about his Care's sheep, and I was trying to hint that "counting on sheep" could get one into a state of sleep.samrw3 wrote:Well Cord Hurn's clue confused me as to what the answer might be - but here goes nothing.

Thanks both!. Yes Cord Hurn that was cryptic...but I get it now where you were going 
I remember the scene more by coincidence. I have been (slowly) re-reading A Man Rides Through and happened to read that section not too long ago.
I will have a question by Monday.
PS I hope you all don't mind I will have one serious question and one non serious question.
The non serious question will be about a character from the books but the answer will be from something outside of the books.
It will be attempt to bring a little levity. Which at least I need

c. no bigger than a?
d. no more than twice the size of?
e. type of form - correct word is somewhere is this list: Gas, giant, wooden, leaden, corrosive, smoke,liquid, puffy, vapor, cloudy, acid, fiery, wavy
Now for fun question who does Tor remind me of from a film character? Before you say how could we know - I am giving three gigantic hints. also I will not hold up the game if after the hints you get the answer horribly wrong
Hint 1 - character in Austin Powers films
Hint 2 one famous quote: "Get in my belly!!"
Hint 3 - Played by Mike Myers

That doesn't seem quite right to me. The smoke creature was described as no smaller than twice the size of...it was some scavenger kind of bird. No longer than two crows, maybe?
CH = big dog - Correct!!
CH - egret - sorry wrong
CH - 2 crows - sorry wrong
Although scavenger bird is on right tail
Remember my clue - doorbell bird - now think scavenger bird
Or possibly another clue in similar trail...bee bird and think scavenger bird
Also don't forget the other question
