Help
A good ol' "What's your favourite moment in Xbook?"-thread. Couldn't find one already existing, but I may have done a bad job looking.
I think mine, after rereading the book, is the scene where Apsalar and Squint are speaking to eachother, both convinced that the other person doesn't know anything about him/her.
I can't really tell why, it just seemed as a very special moment.
Favourite scene in The Bonehunters

The scorpion fight...
EDIT:
Nop, that one was in the HoC (thanks for the hint, CB. I guess I'm getting old, mixing things up and all...)
In TB, I loved the conversation between Paran and Shadowthrone, when Paran announces that the Deragoth are to be released soon and Shadowthrone gets all upset and calls Paran "The Master Idiot of the Deck of Dragons".
ST: "Pure genius... why didn't I think of that? Why? Because I'm not an idiot!"
I giggled a lot while reading it.

It would be either the escape under Y'Ghatan or Fiddler playing his fiddle. The former was just nerve-wracking, the tensest piece of writing Erikson has ever pulled off; the later was simply gut-wrenching.

First time post, probably not the last... I have lots of questions...:confused:
The scene that sticks out the most to me would be when Cottillion walks away from his talk with trull to go sit on the ledge by himself and put his head in his hands.... not something alot of Gods do, at least not when the Camera is on them.

xanth that was a classic, I like when the bonehunters kit is getting returned and there is loads of daggers, the most personal weapon of all

There are loads of memorable scenes in this book. My joint favourites are probably the firestorm in Y'Ghatan and the Icarium-Trull fight. Both were fantastic pieces of writing.
Avoid being seen as racist by saying, "I'm not a racist, but ..." prior to making a racist comment.

It's got to be close, there are many memorable scenes in the book. All of the ones mentioned so far have been memorable.
I can't help but think one of the scenes which touched me the most was the whole escape Unta one with Kalam. Fiddler played a nice part in that part too, albeit differently.
The best part of the book; the fact that there was plenty of Cotillion and Shadowthrone involved, that made the book that bit better.

I liked the scene where the marine heavies are holding the jetty throwing sharpers and flamers into the seething masses of whipped up civilians / undercover soldiers and then Kened tells the Untan captain to piss off and Koryk (I think) shoots the captain in the back as he's trying to get away. I think Koryk's excuse was that the captain wanted them to hand over the Wickans.

Among my favourite scenes, this one.
