"A demon is not an item to be tossed aside like an old shirt," she snapped, "When you have battled with yours, side by side, maybe you'll understand." - Captain Lovett

megamon777 (#3)

"With that thought, he felt the link between him and the imp, as if it were a house spider hanging from a thread of gossamer."

antylope007 (#4)

"You think stabbing an Orc is gonna stop it before it tears your head off? You might as well stab a wolf with a toothpick." - Rotherham

bojingles (#5)

"Perhaps I could interest you in a gremlin's loin cloth, or an orc nose ring? You sir, what do you say?" Rotherham said to a young boy with a finger firmly inserted in his nose, who was certainly not qualified to be called a 'sir.'

Music1224 (#6)

"Fight dirty, and go for the face. Gentlemen's rules are for gentlemen." - Rotherham

SideraLuna1 (#7)

"A warrior's greatest enemy can also be his greatest teacher " – Othello

ConflictedTrutle (#8)

"Fletcher, we have always known that the day you call your birthday is likely not the day you were born. Yet to me, it will always be the most important day of my life. It is the day I became a father and you became my son" - Berdon

StormWhiteHD (#9)

"I see two paths before us. One is well trodden, yet every time we have taken it, we end up back where we started: defeated and bloodied. But there is a second path. I do not know where it leads, or what dangers there are along the way, but I know in my heart that it is better to take the path of uncertain fate, than the one of glorious, yet certain defeat. There will be no war, my friends. We will honor our agreement with the king."  - Dwarven Elder

ThaneThornton (#10)

"It is people like you that give me hope for reconciliation between dwarves and men" - Uhtred

Darkworld117

"Come round, all of you! Everything you see here is the genuine article, the real deal. Every item has a blood curdling tale that will make you thank your lucky stars you live in the north," he yelled with a voice of vendor, tossing a spearhead high in the air and deftly catching it between his fingers. - Rotherham

Stardust257

"Traitors and cowards!" Atilla bellowed as Fletcher tuned in again, "Are you true dwarves...or half-men? 

AniriC

"I was wrong about humans," Atilla murmured, looking at his feet. "But that does not change the atrocities we have suffered at their hands. I have realized it is not their race that I hate, but the system that we live in."

“I know I've never told you this, but you are not my apprentice, nor a burden. You are my son Fletcher, even if we do not share the same blood. I am proud of you, prouder that ever tonight. You stood up for yourself, don't be ashamed of that.” - Berdon

solghost

"It's been a long time since I've been in a old fashioned tavern bawl" he declared with relish, grasping Fletcher 's tankard and bringing it up to his mouth" - Rotherham

Markus2995

"'We aren't as powerful as them. Even the second year commoners will have an advantage over us. How are we supposed to win?” Seraph said.

Fletcher took a deep breath and looked him right in the eye. 'We train.'

""I see you've brought your two nannies with you," Fletcher said, wracking his brains to think of some way out of there. “Three against one is it? Why don’t you fight me like a man? Oh wait...we've already tried that.”
