Help
It's been a while since I read this book and I just recently had a friend go through it, who after he was done with it started "assulting" me with questions of things he thought "stupid". Most of them I was able to deflect/defend and give reasons as to why/what happend. But this one question he had I wasn't able to remember the answer to, so... I come here in the hopes of someone being able to refresh my memory a bit.
Why was it that Anomander flew with his skykeep underwater instead of with the rest of armies above ground? Wasn't the main reason the keep started breaking up at the end because he had taken the underwater path?

most definitely to keep the seer off balance and to keep his condors from getting any shots in at a moons spawn that was already incredibly weakened
There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.

Moon's Spawn had been weakened during the fight Anomander Rake had with Imperial mages near Pale, so it had to stay low till the decisive moment.
'If we are to live,' Rake went on, 'we must take risks. Else our lives become deaths in all but name. There is no struggle too vast, no odds too overwhelming, for even should we fail - should we fall - we will know that we have lived.'

All of the above...plus it was freakin awesome
So, you're the historian who survived the Chain of Dogs.
Actually, I didn't.
It seems you stand alone.
It was ever thus.

Moon's Spawn cruising through the air is a great big target for a Jaghut and his pet High mages and demon condors, to say nothing of any power-ups the CG had provided.
Moon's spawn breaking out of a frozen waterfall where no one knew it was and crushing the Seer's keep while he was already engaged with the Malazan and Genabackis forces... THAT'S TACTICS!
- Abyss, tactful.

Additionally, whenthe Seer thought he was losing he decided to flee with the Matron and start again elsewhere. Keeping Moon's Spawn hidden and the Seer assuming it was gone kept him believing he was going to win so he didn't just run away again...

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.
