Everything with Gothos and most of the Jaghut is golden.
Anything with Telorast and ... the other insane dragon sister-self, always produce some of the funniest of exchanges throughout all the books.

I've glanced at a few threads regarding this book, and after having just finished it myself last week I still find myself reminiscing over these two characters. It's funny how Erikson can turn certain characters through a novel. By that I mean at first, upon the bridge I despised the fucks. They were long worded pretentious assholes. Yet the story goes on and I grew to love their exchanges. They used this silly thing we have called language to communicate and dissect such weighted topics which is such a common theme that SE can attack in just a few pages.
It's funny though what really won those two characters over for me was the scene with Hish Tulla commentating on the two, saying how breathtaking their prowess on the battlefield was, only to set up the next big part in their story. Not sure about anyone else but their arrival and interaction with the Hust Legion was one of the best segments of literature I've ever read. All of the tension leading up to the army of convicts receiving their insane weapons and armor. The way they dealt with it was just... awesome lol.
Was hoping for more from them from the final battle, but like always I'm itching for the next chapter in the series.
Anyways thanks SE. Anyone else have favorite scenes, moments or exchanges?

I was a little disappointed by these two, for the fact their dialogue and manner made me like them way tooo much!
On a re-read at the moment and one of them dies during the battle on the Shore. Never really meant any thing as it was just a faceless name back then.. When I read the scene where one (can't remember who) of them drops out of the sky and their trying to protect the shake.. Damn! Got me right in the feels.
