It's Rake 14-7.

No, it's actually Caladan Brood 8-5.

In all seriousness, I would judge that Rake has the edge on this one as Kurald Galain is a powerful ally even when coming up against Brood and his hammer. It is very difficult to be conclusive as we've not seen Brood and context is king.

Please put that in spoiler tags, as this is the MoI forum.

While those people did get their asses kicked, they were retarded. We're talking about Rake here who is, according to many, a genius. Not RG spoilers, do not click if you haven't finished RG!

What if Rake was in dragon form and he swallowed brood before he could unleash the "reset button"???

"The red ink had been watered down. He painted wash on the map, covering areas now held by the Malazan Empire. Fully one half of the map...the north half...was red. Baruk jumped, his right forearm jerking out and knocking over the inkwell. The red ink poured across his map. Cursing, Baruk sat back. His eyes widened as he watched the spreading stain over Darujhistan and continue south to Catlin..."

The worst indigestion of his long life?

So, you're the historian who survived the Chain of Dogs.
Actually, I didn't.

It seems you stand alone.
It was ever thus.

Indigestion due to Brood or due to the hammer? Or due to Brood striking Rake from the inside with said hammer?

It was a joke, don't overthink it.

Edit:
p.s. welcome to the boards though!

Well, if Brood caught Rake by surprise, he could just knock a mountain on top of him and be winner by K.O.
In a more even fight on the other hand, I reckon Anomander has the best chances.
A note about these sort of 'who would win?' things: I personally think that there is no such thing as a fair fight. Every fight has circumstances, and they all change the outcome. Which doesn't stop them from being kind of amusing.
