Hated the book, hated Jack. He needs to learn how to sword fight.
Thought it was different and interesting that he didn't fight or kill anyone to accomplish the things he did. |

So you don't consider the duel Jack lost a fight??? What about in the end against Myrkressa Jelan (I dont' think I spelled it right...)??? |

1) Drizzt Do'Urden
2) Alias
3) Dragonbait
4) Talbot Uskevren
5) Shamur Uskevren
I don't know why i like Drizzt so much i guess it's just that he has such a good moral standard. |

My latest Realms-based short story, about a bard, a paladin of Lathander and the letter of the law, Debts Repaid. It takes place before the "shattering" and gives the bard Arion a last gasp before he plunges into the present.http://candlekeep.com/campaign/logs/log-debts.htm |

Jarlaxle: I actually liked him more when he was off in the underdark finding his way as a merchant but is still one of my favourites.
Bouldershoulder brothers, Pwent and the most famous Harkle Harpel: Gotta laugh a little bit huh, I still can not forget the part where two Bouldershoulder brothers put that rock on to a branch and killed just one orc with it.
Liriel baenre. I think she is one nasty b.....
Cadderly: Epitome of goodness, epitome of wisdom and epitome of intelligence within a childish heart what else do you want?
Drizzt: Well I think that he is just one chaotic good drow, what makes him so special I do not see
And last but not the least The man Who could break the will of Crenshinibon, The man who could equal Drizzt in any fight, The man who fights with his wisdom, intelligence and charisma more than his strength. Yup Artemis Entreri. He is my favourite.

4-Artemis Entreri(smart,wise,cool and deadly...)
5-Cadderly(the song of deneir...)
6-Zak'nefein and Jar'laxle...(They asked Salvatore "Why did you killed Zak?Would't you write him again?He answered"Ý still write about him,i just use the name Jarlaxle...great son of a great father and ever ready, funny,cool,lethal mercenary...)(ý just wanted to write this:"Ýt was just a fireball"-Jar'laxle(from servant of the shard,after saving Entreri from a fireball with a wellput
portable hole on a inn's wall.)

Drizz't Do'Urden: What can you say? The original Good Drow and a really impressive fighter as well. I like him for his courage mostly.
Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun: Ever schemeing for once a non-evil mastermind.
The Simbul: Toe to toe with the biggest and nastiest of nasties. Gave her all for her people, hard to top that.

1. Drizzt, Zaknafein, Solaufein, Jander Sunstar (though he is somewhat a Ravenloft character too), Elaith Craulnober
2. Khelben, Danilo, Arilyn, Foxfire
3. Cattie-brie, Guenhwyvar (sorry if I spelled that wrong....)
4. Cadderly, Mazzy Fentan
...and that's it. Told ya that most of them are ranked the same. It's hard to pick just one favorite. |

Danilo Than, Arilyn Moonblade, and Alias. Those are my three favorites. Yes, I know Drizzt isn't on there. I like him, but he's not my favorite. As a character, he's actually too good. I know it's important for him to be such a good fighter, but I prefer characters who have more of a limitation.
Besides, Danilo's the only character in the Realms that I can remember to have made me want to put the book down and applaud.  |

wow...where to begin
1. Entreri or Drizzt (Quite cliche but Drizzts just too deep not to be #1. Impossible to decide between the two. So alike and yet so different)
2. Montolio the blind ranger of Dead Orc Pass (He is blind yet he takes down a whole party of orcs, and a hill giant, saves Drizzts life)
3. Breunor ("...Or I'm a bearded gnome!!" haha)
4. Kellendil (Doves sidekick elven ranger. He's just damn cool)
5. RODDY MCGRISTLE!!!!! BWAHAHAHHAHA heh, just kidding. Too dirty for my liking, Frets too hehe
5. Alustriel |

1) Mirt, A Harper, possibly the wealthiest person in FR. Lord of Waterdeep, owns about 1/3 of Waterdeep, Retired Mercernary Leader.
2) Jarlaxle, Most awesome Drow in FR, Carries enought magic items to get his self and a friend out of any situation, while destroying the threat. Drizzt's Brother. (Trust me)
3)Elminster, 1500 years old, CR of 39... I dont need to say anymore, but I will. Chosen of Mystra, witty humor, Held the power of a god within him self during the Time of Troubles, Was once a woman, Has made love to a god or 2, once told AO (The Overgod)to leave him alone, the god of magic looks to him for advice. Read the last chapter or two of Elminster in Hell, Matrix stuff going on there.
4)Thibledorf Pwent, Rude, Smelly, Generally awesome, Would wake up a Tarrasque to get a fight in.
5)Artemis Enteri, Cold, Calculating, Deadly, Now a new and improved Neutral Evil alignment.
6)Drizzt, When you have read all of the books he has been in, he grows on you.
7)Cyric, Awesome before he became a god, a new and improved awesome now!
8)Halister, Older than Elminster, Now a Chosen of Mystra, Was a chosen of Shar, Was Crazy (Not now), Cant wait to see him in another book. |

In no particular order:
-Danilo: His all around idiotic facade makes him funny
-Drizzt: Although i don't like how he has become nearly invincible
-Ivan and Pikel: Can Lighten up anyone's day
-Cyric: Pure evil 
-Artemis: Just cool
-Laaqueel: I have not read much about her yet
-Druzil: That annoying gnat that you can never seem to smash

Just too damn many great characters to choose from. But, the ones that really stick out for me (in no particular order)
Dizzt Do'Urden - Just because he was the first Drow to be known for forsaking his heritage and to really stick to his beliefs, no matter what the consequences.
Shandril Shessair - She was just such a tragic character. All she wanted was to be left alone and she got the entire cadre of evil in the Realms after her because of something she had no say in. Just sad.
Atremis Entreri - the epitome of the classic villian. Extremely intelligent, vile, self assured and with no remorse for his actions at all. Not to mention the only real competition to Drizzt.
Jarlaxle - Another great villian. I loved the fact that he was the only male in all of Menzoberanzan that could talk back to the matron mothers and get away with it on a regular basis. Now THAT'S power.
Thibbledorf Pwent - Just one bad ass psycho dwarf. How could you not love that?

Yay, at last two other scribes agree with me about Pharaun and Ryld! I think theyre two of the best characters to come out of Realms novels for a long time!! I have a scroll somewhere about it......ah, here it is.
One character from Black Wolf which I also loved, Im not sure why, and he plays a small role, is Voorla. I think he was great, there appeared to be........... ::Alaundo hits Rad on back of head:: 
Oops, sorry Alaundo. Ahem..... WARNING:SPOILERS
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
...there appeared to be some respect and companionship (not sure if thats the right word) between Voorla and Stannis (not so much Radu though), and I just loved the way that Voorla spoke to Stannis calmly and in his native troll tongue, but always ended the sentence with "Malveen".... it just added a bit of grace to him! loved it!  |
