Sanval v the rust monster was just a brilliant scene, ah poor Sanvel and his gleaming polish armour |

What really sticks out in my mind though (and I think this fits in between Chapters 16-20) is Sanval confronting a RUST MONSTER of all things! Of all monsters he got stuck with, it was that one, to some rather humorous results (not humorous to Sanval, of course).
I have to echo this. The rust mosnter scene was the highlight of this book for me. And of course it had to happen to Sanval. When it crawled out, I laughed out loud, and chuckled as I described what I thought would happen to my wife. And thank all the little and big gods and godesses it happened exactly like that. Having to bludgeon the poor rusty to death with his 'good' boot just made it all that more entertaining. And, for goodness sake, what is a dungeon romp without a rusty to put the fear of the gods into a well armoured frontline fighter? Sanval losing his 'cool' during the bludgeoning was just the icing. |

Well that perspective certainly adds to Salvatore's view of monsters being more than silly monsters. A very enjoyable book so far 
Trust me, we don't get into the tortured love lives of destrachans. Even I draw the line there!

Who knows, perhaps monsters are monsters because their wives at home are so terrible und dominant?  |

Too funny Ms. Jones!
Seattle, home of the grunge movement and a lot of slam poetry. It seemed natural. Besides the brothers just grew on me and kept demanding more page time. And then some of my early readers of this manuscript kept asking "but what about the bugbears?" So more scenes in the end.
I like to think that the Big O went on to find many females interested in his poetry. He's such an easygoing bugbear. Norimgic has a much more tortured outlook on life and will probably end up singing sad songs somewhere and wearing lots of black.
