Right, re-reading I'd like to nominate the scene with Mappo Trell and Pust where he asks the direction to the library and Pust says "Right... then Right... then Right... then Right..."

And many other ones with Pust
-------------------------
"Shake your fist all you want but dead is dead"
Well, what can I say?

Uncle Cotillion gets my vote!

I still like Pormqual's treasurer. "Insolent crab's anus... blood smeared turd."
------------------------
Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, that here obedient to their laws we lie.


Ouki

"Chaos is the order we don't understand"

I thought that the story of what happened in Ehrlitan-with that excavated city-was very funny.

"It's not my fault, I didn't do it."

The bit where Erikson escribes this awesome Ken'ryllah who looks like its gonna chup Apt into pieces and then that boy (an't remeber his name) whispers "lets be quick with this one" or something

also the interaction btetween Pust and that Dal Honese shapeshifter woman..

Pust rules- especially where near the end he hints that all the vocalizing of his inner thoughts were delibrate and he was only doing that to manipulate. But hang on! Perhaps that comment was delibrate to make them doubt the information he inadvertantly revealed and now wants to cover up.
I love it when you go into cyclic thinking like that - which of the contradictory remarks was unintentional and should be believed - or perhaps all the comments were delibrate and he just loves screwing with their minds. Ha!


Vandevere
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes. Pust was the kind of person who enjoyed putting everyone's brains through mush...

Yeah, Pust was one spooky dude. I would love to see him and Kruppe together. Can you imagine that conversation!!!

He who fights monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster... when you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you...


Lady Atheilen
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh, yes. I can just see that. Wonder if that will actually happen.
-------------------------
"It's not my fault, I didn't do it."


Calot
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anything is possible... but it's still hazy if we even will see Pust again.
-------------------------
"Shake your fist all you want but dead is dead"
Well, what can I say?
The Lord of one-liners.


Lady Atheilen
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope so.
-------------------------
Insert profound statement here.


Calot
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What role do you think he would play if he did? What colossal plans will he hatch?

"Shake your fist all you want but dead is dead"

Hmm ... as far as Pust goes, I would have to say he was the sort of character who is the living embodiment of the phrase "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive."

That guy for sure has some stuff going on that even Shadowthrone doesn't know about. Pust might view it as serving his God in his own special way, but I doubt Shadowthrone would see it that way.
Then again, Shadowthrone does have a warped sense of humour, so you just don't know for sure. Or is he the souce behind Pust? Is Pust somehow critical to Shadowthrone's plans, or completely independant?

Or am I guilty of throwing out a few Pustisms?

Reading this forum reminds me that my memory sucks. I have only read the 3 books over the last 12 months, but do you think I can remember what Tremorlor is or who Mincer is? Bleah. Guess I'll just have to read them again.

Some people play "Hard to get". I just play "Hard to want".

The part where Mincer was degraded by Coltaine was a funny piece of comic relief.
