You are TOO good Joy!

Absolutely correct! Whilst their is possibly a slight implication (when Liete is thinking about the various bridge crew when making the decision to commit suicide for Nick), Malda is never expressly mentioned as having slept with Nick.

Your turn.

Oh, no, not again! I'm no good at judging these puzzles. Someone else, please take my turn!

Well, I just jumped here, so I don't know if this has already been done, or if we voted to move away from TCTC, so here goes anyway---could be extremely easy, could be not...

Linden Avery
Thomas Covenant
Saltheart Foamfollower
Lord Mhoram
Drool Rockworm

So, which one of these is not like the others, and why?

I was wondering about the non-TCTC trend too, but I'd been away from the thread for a while. Nothing wrong with branching out, except that I can't join in.

OK, for starters:

Linden's the only female.
TC's the only one alive in both Chrons.
FF's the only Giant.
Mhoram's the only one who knew any of Kevin's Lore.
Drool's the only bad guy.

All good points, true, but not even close to what I was thinking of.

Drool never appeared in any incarnation in the 2nd Chrons.

No deep plot to it, I just like exploring new territory.

Linden was the only one not in the first chon?

Post by **DukkhaWaynhim** » Tue Jan 20, 2004 3:04 pm

Good analysis from all, but not what I've got in mind.

Clue#1: For one of them, it's about what they didn't do.

OOOOO

OOO I've got it! Foamy was the only 1 who never laid hands on the SoL!!!

Very good point, danlo, but not the difference or the character I'm thinking of.

NOOOOO! Ok Drool was a butt, every1 else was cool...**runs away crying, shouting "I'm never coming back to this thread ever again, never ever!" voice fades in2to the rain**

Foamfollower never went to Kiril Threndor.

Drool never went to Revelstone.

Linden never used or touched or was attacked by the Illearth stone.

Mhoram was never in the presence of Lord Foul. (Same room so to speak)

Post by **Fist and Faith** » Wed Jan 21, 2004 2:36 am

Drool never had a kind word to say about anybody, the rotten little bugger!!

Ok, here you go Dukka and everyone :

Bannor
Linden
Atarian
Saltheart
Elena

One of these did not do what the others did.

Post by **DukkhaWaynhim** » Wed Jan 21, 2004 9:37 pm

Linden - Never appeared to Covenant as one of the Dead; hasn't died yet.
Atarian - Has not been near the staff of Law in Covenants presence
