Well wow. There's a person I hadn't anticipated recognizing. Especially since he stopped visiting my regular board posting haunt (formerly the pvponline forums) quite a while ago.

But Calbeck would be the one to straighten out any unicornly misconceptions right quick. :D

If you were to go from a programming perspective, as explained the sword's behavior doesn't make much sense anyway... computers don't function off of a single input. They're layered constructs that activate off of many inputs, some of which are cumulative results of prior inputs. ( See bootstrapping...

Aw, see, coming from computing, I would have to say "there's no such thing as random" -- but even if the lux-paths are like circuitry, that doesn't mean they are.

Well... that certainly came out of nowhere. If you claim to have respect for the Scientific Method, perhaps we should look at your arguments to make sure you aren't shooting yourself in the foot. On the first point; no sane scientist would claim that neurological activity is random. This would go ag...

Movie? Bah, Herbert's material is, in the opinion of many (my own included), better in its original Dead Tree format.

Depends on a couple of factors. The shaman doesn't look to be too... graceful with his lux manipulations (light emission on a simple levitation! pah! ;) ) but he may have a trick to try and stop Quent as he dashes off. Also, the rest of the team's going to be in deep (or mucky) water with the rest o...

Oh, and as a by-the-way, a flagon is something like a pitcher or large mug. It has a handle, a spout and maybe a lid. They use 'em to hold alcoholic beverages, hence why it's a natural choice for a tavern's sign. [Eep! Surprised I didn't notice before that the Gragum leader was packing (lux weapons,...

"We found this. It is loud and annoying, please take it."

Not likely what they're saying, but 'ey, it'd be funny.

This didn't answer the question of who the magic user is... are they acting on the behest of someone, or somehow on their own?

Alt-F4, my friend. It's the best thing invented for pop-up windows that actually spawn their own frame. Now, those embedded javascript ones -- those I despise. It's worse than that, too.

Ah! I hadn't noticed. That's a Boomslang! Firearm indeed.

It would figure, the guy wielding it is probably the only one on the boat large enough to do so without injury to himself.

He's also apparently not from the swamps; lack of accent.
