I also liked the sword battle between Brys Beddict and Rhuladad theat whole sceb even till the end when brys and the king drank the poisen then the guardian took brys. he was becomming very liked by me its to bad he didnt last long, hopefully we will see him again

I kind of like the scene in BH where Karsa fights the short-tail (I just read it last night). It's one of the more well described scenes in the books, and shows you so much about Karsa's personality.

I am way overdue for a reread of GotM, but the entire Raest sequence is pretty awesome.

My favorite, though, is the Rallick Nom duel in GoTM. It's so simple and clear that it gives me chills.

The part with Envy and co. decimating the armies of the Pannion Domin. It's then that you really realize just how incredible the Seguleh are.

The Bridgeburners in Coral, in MoI. Reading about them leaving Coral as last still puts a big clump in my chest. It does more to me than Whiskeyjack's fighting scene with Kallor does.

Itkovian defending that city in MoI (can't come up with the name), knowing it's a lost cause but fighting anyway.

Edit: Oh...you meant in the BH (I just banged my head against the stairs...I'll blame this temporary fit of stupidity on that).
I'd have to go with Trull defending the Throne of shadow then.

For a long time I kept paging through MT to the Iron Bars fightscenes.

Specifically when he took on five giants and he's musing to himself something in the lines of:

"Come on, Iron Bars, you've been in worse trouble than this" then rethinks "Not by a long shot" and smiles.
One of the Seregahl replies in trepedation:
'Look! its smilling!"

That fight was pure win.

I quite like the fight scene with Iskarul Pust and the Deragoth.

Although i knew his crazyness is a put on, it was still a surprise as to how he delt with them.

No it wasnt the deragoth it was that other thing the Nameles ones released.

I think its name was Dave.

Naughty Dave!

I am bad purely because im pointless. "

Dejim Nebrahl, the Trollbahral ....allthough I'm sure that's not even close to how SE spells it in the book.

I enjoyed the Apsalar verses the Hounds in Poliel's Temple. It really showed how much of a bad ass she has become, and how powerful a shadow dancer can be. To take on 5 hounds of Shadow and to kick there ass and come out unscathed. WOW...

vengance likes all fights
How many fucking people do I have to hammer in order to get that across.

My fave fight has to be the kalam amd T Amber fighting a whole city of Claws. Followed by Apsalars arrival. That just rocks! 300 and sum odd claw all in one go. As shadowthrone says, not even Cotillion.

In Bonehunters I'd have to say Karse vs short tail. Very graphic :p

In the whole series I think I would go for Paran taking out one of those giant condor things (was that the right name?) at the end of MoI. The beast awakens, and Quick Ben is like: wtf? ;)
The leader, his audience still,
considered their scholarly will.
He lowered his head
and with anguish he said,
"But how will we teach them to kill?"

Anything involving The Rope himself is awe inspiring. Can't remember which book it was but I always remember a scene with him whipping it out and flailing people to death at a lightning pace. such a complete badass

When Trull drops the other Edur captain with one blow while everyone looks on in amazement has to be in the top 5.

Actually, I think Trull is in all the top 5.

Ok, so Kalem hunting down Laseen taking out half the city's claw is pretty awsome.

Oh, my favorite is Kalem holding on to the eave with one hand while stabbing the dude on the roof with the other.

No, no, Tool saying "all the harder using the flat of my blade".

Wait, WAIT, Ublala Pung crashing through what's his names compound as a diversion for Shurq is the best.

And then there is...

Heh, I guess i'd have to go with the scene of Kalam in DHG when he leans over and slits the bandit leader's throat. It's just the dichotomy of his chosen role as a soldier of the empire versus the setting of his youth and training of his past.

Karsa and Trull are my favourite combatants, if you will.

For Karsa, everything about him seems obvious, but he still keeps surprising and outdoing expectations.

As for Trull, he is very human (sort of) and he is so humble and introspective, at times, that you almost forget that he is an incredible warrior. Way better than I would have expected when Fear claimed Trull was the best he had trained. ;)

Generally, whenever Karsa unsheathes his sword. However, I do love the Bridgeburner elite pwnage scenes, like in MOI, and the whole battle for Capustan (buildings filled with so many bodies their walls were bleeding, euch.)

Rake versus the Galayn Lord in GotM is also fabulous, especially the lines he says - 'Flee, mortal,' is brilliant, but 'To the Mother's regret was Light granted birth. To her dismay... she too late... its corruption. Galayn... you are the unintended victim... to punishment... long overdue.

Some RG spoilers, so highlight, etc.

Spoiler


Still, I think my favorite, for various reasons, has to be the squad of Bonehunters who meet those demon princes in Reaper's Gale.
