So to me Paran with onearms host is the story I am really looking forward to hear about, I loved Paran as a character and he will be pivitol in the last book in my opinion. What is your favourite unfinished story? Which one do you want to hear about? Karsa's? Leoman's? Silverfox's? Any I haven't mentioned?

Off the top of my head.

Dassem and Hood and what actually happened at that Chaining.

Skinner and the 2nd and what that is all about.

The mystery of the Tyrant of Darujistan and the mages and Seguleh.

Shadowthrone's master plan revealed, in addition to who/what he has stored in the Deadhouse

Crimson Guard vs Skinner's Avowed...should be interesting

Whether or not Crokus & Apsalar ever meet up again, though I have to say my favourite couples in the series are either Korlat & Whiskeyjack or Sandalath & Withal.

Mallick Rell on the throne...what next?

Trull's kid, born to be the Knight of Shadow, would like to know how that turns out

T'lan Imass vs the Tyrants at Assail

Mother Dark and Nimander, the Black Coral storyline...also, where Silanah went after Rake's death

The Redeemer, methinks he could be the counter to the Crippled God's new religion
Lives and loves, the gamut of existence was marked by such things. A breaking of paths, the ragged, uneven ever-forward stumble. Blood dried, eventually. Turned to dust. The corpses of kings were laid down and sealed in darkness and set away, to be forgotten. Graves were dug for fallen soldiers, vast pits like mouths in the earth, opened in hunger, and all the bodies were tumbled down, each exhaling a last gasp of lime dust. Survivors grieved, for a time, and looked upon empty rooms and empty beds, the scattering of possessions no-one possessed any longer, and wondered what was to come, what would be written anew on the wiped-clean slate. Wondering, how can I go on?

How Rake managed to beat down Draconus, seemingly without help and avoiding a acratch from Dragnipur, sufficiently to take Dragnipur and use it on him. I wonder if it happened in similar fashion to the Rake-Traveller fight or if Rake had Andii help.

my fave unfinished story is probably the ryadd and silchas crime-fighting duo, wherein the old, hard-bitten veteran of 300,000 years (played by a suitably whitened gene hackman) teaches the up and coming, go-getter (shia lebeouf) about life on the wastelands and takes him around the neighbourhood to meet "the usual suspects" (olar ethil, torrent, korabas, draconus).

Dassem and Hood and what actually happened at that Chaining.

Well Dassem thinks Hood is Dead doesn't he? Do you think this conflict will open up again? Question for you seem as you're a Dassem fan, where is his sister? and is she the cause for his vengeance?

Do we know what happened at the chaining? We know it happened but why and how?

Skinner and the 2nd and what that is all about.

I can't wait to see this either!!

The mystery of the Tyrant of Darujistan and the mages and Seguleh.


Exciting, do you think this will be in The Crippled God or in a different novel?

I don't think we'll find out about Assail, and I do think we'll see more of silverfox when the Assail novel comes out, if it is to come out.

I don't know much about this yet.

Trull and Seren were mine!

Mallick Rell on the throne...what next?

He dies somehow hopefully!

I doubt we'll ever see resolution to these, but I would be curious to see what happened with Quick Ben's sister and Whiskeyjack's sister (Dunsparrow? I think?).

Didn't Quick Ben's sister die in The Bonehunters or RG? When QB helps Paran et al defeat Poliel and QB's sister was there? Didn't she die in that scene?

Don't have my books with me... I could be remembering it completely wrong, but I seem to remember her being killed. Will have to dig that out later!

No, QB drags her out and when they meet up at Soliel's temple QB runs off before she awakens. I doubt there is really much to her story beyond that.

Don't have my books handy but if it's the scene i'm thinking of then QB's sister is alive. Paran sets up Poliel to be killed by the Deragoth (using the hounds as bait), while at the same time QB is trying to rescue his sister from the same palace. This is when Apsalar appears and fights the hounds of shadow long enough to let QB and his sister to escape (without their knowledge). QB drops his sister off somewhere before quickly heading back to the bonehunters camp, so that she wouldn't wake up and know that he had rescued her.

Quick Ben's sister doesn't die...

"The wizard [QB] flashed that memorable, infuriating grin, and vanished into the portal.
As it whispered shut behind him, the woman, his sister, lifted herself to her hands and knees. ..."

US MMPB version page 764

I don't know what happens to her after that scene, but she's in G'danisban when we last see her.

I'd like to know what happened after Dragnipur was shattered, and what it was like for the people chained inside when it was shattered.

Oh yah! Draconus wasn't the only god released, right? Real-Apsalar is back on the scene, and she's gonna get in a big fight with Olar Ethil over who really brought fire down to the people.

I'm looking forward to the Stormwall 'recruiters' finding out that trying to hold Iron Bars captive is the worst idea since Silgar thought "Enslaving this Toblakai can only lead to fortune and happiness"  :(
