I dunno, I think it would be more his style to just make this up and laugh himself to sleep thinking about people trying to find it.Jedamethis said:
Nah, he'd put something at the end to make it worthwhile, like just a hilarious joke.manythings said:
Oh. Can I come? I could be the big guy [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheBigGuy]. I'll even bring a (smaller) Piecemaker. [http://wiki.lspace.org/wiki/Piecemaker]Jedamethis said:
Whatever it is, I'm sure it would be surprising and wholly in keeping with the discworld way of thinking... "Retro-phrenology". That scene always makes me laugh.Jedamethis said:
"If" he dies? He may be an awesome knight who made his own legendary sword, but I doubt he's yet discovered the secret of immortality!Jedamethis said:
I'm just playing--I will join this quest!
Though the point has been made abundantly clear, I just feel like it's necessary to reiterare: This man is the single most awesome human being ever.
And undoubtably the first to be stabbed in the back when we find it?theflyingpeanut said:
Fine with me!
Just in case...MimsySnark said:
Hurrah!
That makes four!
When you find a fifth i'll be the sixth ranger who comes in near the end and gets all the attentionJedamethis said:
...good time to start learning how to throw my knives as well as juggle them then, gotcha :3Jedamethis said:
All this talk of stabbing. You'd almost think you were a villain. In which case, I couldn't be stabbed, as I would have to be alive to mourn the broken body of a fallen comrade who was always kind to me, in spite of my simple nature, and who you mercilessly betrayed. Then, after finding you holding the magic sword, the true hero of the tale would undoubtedly defeat you in an epic battle, while the rest of us hold of your hordes of evil minions.Jedamethis said:
Being the master assassin, I will wait in the shadows till the dust clears and take the sword for my own.Simalacrum said:
Why do I imagine this sword being magically immune to brussel sprouts and singing pub songs.
What surprises me about this story is that I figured that when the Queen knighted you, she gave you a sword, and some armor, and a horse. Or is that just 1000 years ago.
Yes he is. He is the one person I do not know personally that I would like to have dinner with and chat away the night. What a man, what a mind, what a vision. God I love him. I have wished since I read the bad news for some amazing breakthrough on the alzheimer front :<TheNamlessGuy said:
