Stormy, speaking with Kalam and Quick Ben. And maybe one other. ;]
"Oh Hood's balls," Stormy groaned, "give me that rice piss, if you're gonna go on and on. Shadowthrone ain't scary. Shadowthrone's just Ammanas, and Ammanas is just Kellanved. Just like Cotillion's Dancer. Hood knows, we knew the emperor well enough. And Dancer. they up to something? No surprise. They were always up to something, from the very start. I tell you both right now," he paused for a swig of rice wine, made a face, then continued, "when all the dust's settled, they'll be shining like pearls atop a dung-heap. Gods, Elder Gods, dragons, undead, spirits and the scary empty face of the Abyss itself--the won't none a them stand a chance. You want to worry about Tiste Edur, wizard? Go ahead. Maybe they ruled Shadow once, but Shadowthrone'll take 'em down. Him and Dancer." He belched. "An' you know why? I'll tell you why. They never fight fair. That's why."
Well, there it is. Shadowthrone and the Rope, victorious. Can't believe SE did this to us, just giving away the ending as if it were worth nothing.
Too bad, but I think that, deep down, we all knew this was how things were going to go down.
Hood's pimpley arse!

Uh. Sorry about the weird double new topic post. No idea how that happened...
Anyway, keep this one, but delete the other! This one has the edited post.

Maybe he's just setting it up for the tragic failure/destruction of shadowthrone and cotillion

Personally Ii think it'd only be a tragedy if cotillion was destroyed. ST loves to play the game and if he got destroyed I would see it as a case of 'live by the sword, die by the sword.'

As if I'd listen to Stormy. The guy's just a sidekick.
Mind you, that pair is slipperier than a catfish in a jar of Vaseline. I shan't be suprised to find them alive and medication-free by the end of the series.

It has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt that the most powerful force on Wu is a bunch of messed-up Malazans with Moranth munitions.

They might not play fair, but neither ST nor Cot can beat Aragan, no matter how unfairly they play...

They could if they recruited Grizzin Farl.

My sig comes from a game in which I didn't heed Blend's advice. So maybe this time I should. ~ Khellendros
I'm just going to have to come to terms with the fact that self-vote suiciding will forever be referred to as "pulling a JPK" now, aren't I? ~ JPK
