When I was little, I thought "bribery" was pronounced like "shrubbery."

First place I saw the word, btw, was in the comic strip "Peanuts."

Thanks to a typo in a RPG book, I didn't spell business correctly for a while, when I was a kid.

For a second I though you said RBG (Ruth Bader Ginsburg) had a typo.

Annie either you pronounce bribery different to me or shrubbery different to me. I pronounce them as "bry - ber - ree" and "shrub - ber - ree".

Perhaps the Knights who say "Ni" just wanted a bribe to pass through their forest...

A little flask of ale or mead never hurt anyone.

Unless it falls on their pinky toe.

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

"Bottle" is slang for "Courage" in certain parts of England.

The Pretenders' "Brass in Pocket" uses "bottle" in that sense -- "Got bottle, I'm gonna use it."

'Course, it's hard to tell what Chrissie Hynde's singing, because she hated the song so much that she deliberately did a bad vocal on it.

Kind of like how Mike Grell purposely made Tyroc's costume ridiculous, in protest of the terribly bad character origin written for him!

LOL Yeah, not to mention how Tyroc seemingly had every power in the universe at his disposal, with no firm boundaries or limitations or weaknesses. And people wonder why creators tended to neglect him?

Characters that can do everything are super hard to write.

I always admired how White Witch got some realistic limitations that made her a better team player / easier to write.

I adore Mysa.

Especially when our fellow Legion Worlder, Harbinger, writes her.

I like Mysa too. But even with the limitations put on her (She could only memorize a set number of spells) she still had a deus ex machina power

I also love Harbi writing Mysa. Heck, Harbi can write any character well.

Quis, I do agree - she had limitations, but the limitations were such they could easily be twisted to fit any story. "Oh well I just happened to prepare this sort of spell for a situation like this!" "Oh dear, we're in trouble because I did not prepare properly."


I do think Levitz did it very well, though.

I think the real advantage is that you have a convenient excuse for Mysa not immediately solving every problem. And she could still be used to solve a problem when needed, often in a more creative way since you have to explain why she happened to have the necessary spell ready.

Yes, exactly. A very clever bit of writing there.

I believe Ibby is the winner this go-round.

Goodness! I have actually killed something again!
