The interesting thing is that when I was going through Book 11, I still hadn't done Book 2 then, so I didn't have the Sommerswerd, and faced the Villains of Sommerlund. Alright, that's not particularly interesting, but somehow I get the feeling that Lone Wolf would not have wanted to risk the Sommerswerd in the Dazhiarn and thus would have left it behind. Just a thought.

Ouch, Bad excuse alert! Aside from the fact that Lone Wolf would want to keep his best weapon if he was going galivanting off to a place that no one has ever returned from, there is of course another factor. Book 11 is a direct continuation of Book 10, the Dungeons of Torgar. When Lone Wolf set out from Tahou, he had no idea that he was going to end up in the Daziarn. His quest was to capture the three Lorestones from the city of Torgar. Case closed, yer honour. -GB

Yes, well I remembered that after I had made that post. Yet if you take the path of the Chaosmaster, Vonotar technically doesn't die, and Vonotar dying is far more fun than fighting some mouldy old superpowerful creature Case appealed, your honour! NS.

You don't have the choice to fight the Chaosmaster and then Vonotar. Maybe I didn't understand correctly what you wanted to say?

Somehow I get the feeling that Lone Wolf would not have wanted to risk the Sommerswerd in the Dazhiarn and thus would have left it behind. Just a thought. NS. I think you might get a little farther with this argument if you suggest that Lone Wolf wouldn't want to bring the Sommerswerd to Torgar. We have established that the Sommerswerd is like a blazing beacon that tells badguys "here I am!" Now, Torgar, being what it is, surely is a place where the Sommerswerd would stick out like a sore thumb. Would LW leave his most powerful weapon behind? Perhaps not... but I consider it a pure art to see how you can enhance enjoyment of the game by making use of all the resources available (like SafeKeeping). I usually assume that Lone Wolf's Sixth Sense/Divination is so strong that he could intuit the need to leave the blade behind once in a while. For what it is worth, I will be bringing the Sun-Sword to the Daziarn next time I play... this is because I just think I need it too badly in order to fight the Villians of Sommerlund. Taking an 8-point loss on CS (or more) is just too harsh.

There is also the fact that Lone Wolf is undercover as an Eruan Pathfinder in Book 10. The Sommerswerd strikes me as a pretty distinctive weapon, and one that would be recognised by folks like Prince Graygor. Personally I never leave it behind, but there are excuses to do so, no matter how lame they are!

Really? It's not so obvious to me - how can you tell? Or are there just not enough companionship options when you are five stories high? Well just look at the guy. Being five stories tall, no, that doesn't help. Nor does being in a constant state of flux. But more than that... just look at the guy. After a while you just start to get a feel for who and who is not a virgin. For instance: Cadak- despite his best efforts, a virgin Vonotar- despite his best effigy's, virgin Roark- ha! yeah right Lone Wolf- mostly virgin (Madelon only half counts) The King- virgin. Prince Pelathor was adopted and/or imaculatly concepted Banedon- virgin (having sex in John Grant's world does not count) Rimoah- now this guy's a total pimp

Lone Wolf- mostly virgin (Madelon only half counts) What do you think he is doing with his Animal Kinship?

Erm, why should Madelon count at all? As far as I know, the good Warmarn didn't pursue conjugal visitation with the fair maiden. -GB

But he easily could have. Which leads us to the mostly virgin piece. In a parrallel universe (one of many created by the spontaneous re-rolling of adventurers) Lone Wolf totally gets it on with the virgin.
Ah, nothing like love between virgins. No-one knows where anything goes.
Actually, this happens a lot less frequently than one would think. There just aren't that many virgins out there these days, what with sacrifices, dark lords, and pimps (like Rimoah)
