I agree with Apt on this, mainly cos he said i was handsome yesterday.
If its a power thing then it'll be Pust. Although Kruppe could transport him into a dream world full of spiders or something?
Pust did kick backside in Bonehunters so much so that i was suitably impressed enough to read the same bit again straight away.
BUT! if it was a Pie eating contest then it would be Kruppe all the way....

"I think i was a bad person before. Before this time. I do not try to be good now but i am not bad. Perhaps if i try harder i may get a better hand dealt next time? But surely that makes it pointless? Perhaps i am good. Just good at being pointless. But that would make me bad. Bad at having a point. Ah…. I see now. I was nothing before, I am nothing now. I am bad purely because im pointless. "

I went for Pust.
Mostly because Kruppe's mule hasn't really done anything yet except sleepwalking.
Pust's mule on the other hand can pitch tents and whatnot...

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?"

I say Kruppe.
He messed with Caladan Brood... Something I wouldn't do.

I say Kruppe, For the same reason as the Tyrant....Plus do you people really think that a showdown between the two biggest talkers is going to involve magic. The are going to talk to themselves and to each other all at once. It will be epic....A violent clash of the rapidly spoken word...
-Vengeance all about the violent clash of the rapidly spoken word...

I say Kruppe... Pust is erratic, Kruppe is machiavellian.
Just don't know who the smarter of the two is, but I figure the one that holds his cards closest to his chest will win. So Kruppe

Kruppe FTW. Pust has shown a lot of power, while kruppe has hidden a lot of power. We know how Pust is so powerful, but not Kruppe. he is still a mystery. plus, Pust has not mastered a Barghast woman in bed. And while Pust is linked to all of Shadowthrone's plots, Kruppe is linked to everything else. While pust was hiding away in his tower killing spiders kruppe was out saving the world. But what happens if Tehol sneaks up behind them...

I didn't think about this. I voted for Pust but now I'm not so sure.

You mean when Pust made a plan to capture/kill a thousand soletaken and d'ivers that were a plague upon the world, saving the world from a Soletaken God and planning to take out Icarium who by all accounts is a walking disaster waiting to happen.
Also Barghast Women vs. Dalhonese Witch. I'd prefer Hetan.

it never stated ANYWHERE that pust mastered his wife in bed. and remember that just cuz they get there does not mean that he mastered her.

i'll go with Pust... he has a cooler mule, and his talking to himself will leave Kruppe bewildered and confused....
The problem with the gene pool is that there's no lifeguard

I'm not sure that Kruppe has either. I think the most that can be said is that Hetan didn't knock him out for as long as she thought she could.
Shaken, not stirred.

Hetan actually says she was surprised that kruppe mastered her, admits it herself. and as for kruppe being out cold for a couple days, that had more to do with the dream and mhybe then with hetan. he would have been out cold even if he didn't do anything.

@tharinock - If you're a guy, stop using the phrase "to master in bed". Use "to shag".
Anyhow, Pust really got to me, while Kruppe occasionally gets on my nerves.

Kruppe's genius is really shown in the fact that he does not need magic to save the world. Example: There is a real intense moment (forget which book, the one with Capustan invasion by Dommin) between Rake, Brood, Whiskeyjack, Korlat, Kallor, and the gang. they are at each other's throats about to kill each other. Kruppe immediately chides in something along the lines of "Is anybody else hungry? Kruppe is famished." immediately breaking the intense moment.
