The Elenium/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • This classic exchange:

Anybody: "Whose turn is it to cook?"
Sir Ulath: "Yours."

    • Turns into a nice little Brick Joke when the rest finally catch on, and decide to quietly leave Ulath to do the cooking from then on.
  • Berit, in his attempts to impress Dolmant, offers to teach history and manners to Talen. When Talen becomes offended, Berit backhands him out of a saddle, disarms him, and kicks him to the ground. All without losing the smirk on his face.
  • The whole part about Sparhawk and Kurik attempting to break into the house.
    • Especially the naked woman on the roof.
  • Sephrenia's reaction to learning that the phrase "little mother" was used by the entire Padion order as a nickname for her and as a password.

Sephrenia: "Why didn't anyone tell me?"
Sparhawk: "We all thought you knew."

  • Lillias' Large Ham moment, now with Gag Boobs included.
  • Avin Wargunsson's death and funeral. He's killed by being drowned in a barrel of wine; once he's discovered and removed from the barrel, his entire body is stained- in essence, he was dyed purple. Nobody at the funeral could keep a straight face at the sight.
  • Bevier going undercover in Scarpa's army. He studied as an actor, so he naturally plays a part. Unfortunately, as the narration notes: 'His intent was obviously to appear dangerously competent. Instead, he was achieving the appearance of a homicidal maniac.'
