As Atiaran would say, "I thank you. In accepting this gift, I return honor to the giver." And then I would bow.

<g> Did I get it right?

Well thank you Khat! Here's my question:

High Lord Mhoram said to Covenant: "It is as I have said. Madness is not the only danger in dreams..."

What other danger (besides madness) was he referring to? 8)

Ah - that was in the Illearth War and they were talking about dukkha. Mhoram continued; ..."There is also the danger that something may be lost which can never be regained."... dukkha believed that Covenant was saying he refused to aid the land and therefore attacked TC based on this apparent refusal.

Yes :?:

What was the "swamp character" called, what was it attracted to and who did it kill?

A fun 3-part question for Mr K!

I think you should go a head if he doesn't come up with a question - you are good at that Mr K!

The glitch is here! I tried to delete some triple posts and inadvertently deleted the last page of posts. Sorry MrK and Khatalenabwraith, please re-post your last.

Ah well, let's move forward from here! Let's see... a new question...

One of the Sunbane-warped residents of During Stonedown had a "marvelous" gift for Thomas Covenant. What was it?

No worries Creator... I was shocked to see the triple post. When I click "OK", it says "e-mail message failed" and then freezes. If I bail out at that point, it doesn't take the message. If I click "refresh" it reposts the info! My bad was clicking "refresh" three times... Sorry about that...

I think it's time to re-sync the database (administrator option) - that will probably take care of the problem.

Now... As far as the trivia question goes... YOU are CORRECT!!! Whoohoooooo!!! It was in fact a "small, furry spider" on the palm of the Sunbane-warped person. It jumped off his hand and bit Covenant in the neck as he was trying to rescue dhraga Waynhim. Great job!

Your turn Creator! :wink:
