I don't understand why Cattie-brie doesn't just toss the cursed sword into a chest and chuck the chest into a Pool of Radiance or the ocean, whichever is closer? |

If y'all will recall the 'test' that Drizzt performed when Cattie-Brie threw herself all over Drizzt. The reason why she did that is because she was an unwilling manifestation of Cutter. Cutter had its pommel in the shape of Cattie-Brie's head and facial features.
Drizzt then tried to take the blade from her, but the blade made Cattie-Brie attack Drizzt. Then when Drizzt finally got his hands on the blade, Cattie-Brie (Cutter) cried out in ecstacy.
Then Cattie-Brie snapped out of it and wondered what happened. Then Drizzt looked at the pommel of Cutter and saw that it was in the shape of a Unicorn (I think) and he then handed it to her.
I believe this happened in Siege of Darkness. |

I dont think she has given it up yet because 1. it is an extraordinary weapon 2. she believes she can control it and 3. She doesn's want it falling into the wrong hands. |

Just a friendly reminder not to stray too far off topic. Lets try to stay relatively focused on the main point of this thread, that being Catti-brie and Khazid'hea. Thanks. |

Well, quoting a friend of mine, 'Somebody's got to do something with their life!'  But don't worry, I'm working on it. No book is safe! Er, mostly. |

you haven't finished that book yet?...i would have figured the great Aglaranna would have read almost everything by now?:O |

Urgh, I should stop listening to spoilers! I haven't read that far yet! But I'm still here, saying inarticulate things like 'urgh', so I'm pretty sure I'm a hopeless case anyway. |

(SPOILER)...again ,and i guess she still had control over it in the end too....it was delly that was tricked and then killed by the actions of the evil but very awesome sword, thus making it fall into the hands of...that one drow...whats his face? |
| Genis |
Posted - 03 Nov 2006 : 00:04:30
stop polishing it for a week? lol...and she probably keeps "cutter" because its a magnificent sword and she feels as tho she has gained control over it...so at this point there is no reason to get ride of it....well (SPOILER ALERT) unless you've read the latest salvatore book...then you dont have to worry its already gone!!! |

Why doesn't she just chuck the thing, you ask? I have this freakin' sword, aptly named 'Cynicism', that's +5, I think. The thing won't SHUT UP! Besides the fact that I'm going mad, though, I keep it cause it's cool stuff. Don't you keep cool stuff? Although I swear, if my fighting skills are insulted one more time but that sword, I'll, um...What do you do to a sword, anyway? |

Weeell, I remember an incident where some demons managed to get rid of almost all the characters most powerful weapons, courtesy of yours truly and some rather botched saving throws on the weapons' parts. Kinda sad that the best weapon they had to go against a Malirith was a dagger +4 |

Spoiler ahead:
Tos'un during The Companion's Blade in Realms of the Elves learned a lot about fighting thanks to Khazid'hea's experience with drizzt, especially the difference between a good fighter and a really good fighter (weapon master for him), and he even managed to avoid killing a Moonwood elf who was taughting him the elven language and other things because the sword wanted to kill her. |

I think Drizzt takes it from Tos'un or the sword tries to get himself to the hands of Obould. And the blade may be considered as evil, it just wants to kill. I wouldn't like to think that it has ''an alignment'' or something like that. It just is purpose of its wretched existence. And why Catti-brie wants to keep it? She thinks she can handle it and it is extremely fine blade. |

You do know that the person it really wants to be wielded by is Obould Many-Arrows, so I don't think the Drow will have it for long |

Khazid'hea is definately an evil blade, if I'm not mistaken Khazid'hea has wanted certain wields to kill certain friends.
The question of Why does Cattie keep Khazid'hea when it's an intelligent blade can be answered the same way ANY character keeping an troublesome intelligent blade. She keeps it because it does COOL STUFF! In this case it's Vorpal.

If it dosen't like you... well... just look at what happened to Delly.
Sorry, but leading someone to their death just to change hands isn't really a good act. |

I'm not really sure I agree that the blade isn't malevolent.
And it's not up to the reader to "fill in the gaps" where stuff like a battle of wills is concerned. "It's the same as what happened to A and J" may be a good enough explanation for some, but not me. |

Agreed...however, remember when Artemis Entreri had to master that Charon's Claw (I'm assuming you read Servant of the Shard), and RAS actually went into detail with the mental battle? That's what I like to read. With Catti-brie, she basically goes off...then comes back having mastered the sword somehow, with no explanation of how she was able to do it.
