A missed reference
Anonymous — Sat, 08/28/2010 - 14:42
You know, one of the funniest references in RSURS is one I missed until Iread the book for the hundredth time. On page 250 when Locke and Jean are infiltrating Windward Rock they use a hood laced with drugs in it. It says, towards the bottom: the man lacked the constitution of the last man Locke tried to knock out with the hood, and sagged after just a few seconds of muffled struggle.
Cookies to the one to say what they're referring to?

In the night, no one will see the terror on your face; so I ask, why scream? It will make my job easier.
I think they're referring to
Wilzo — Sat, 08/28/2010 - 19:01I think they're referring to Conte, aren't they? When Locke and Calo (forgive me if it was Galdo, I haven't got the books at the moment to check) go to see Don Salvara as the Midnighters. Conte put up quite a fight before he went out.
Locke would appreciate it.
Exactly. I thought it was
RepetitiveNone (not verified) — Sun, 08/29/2010 - 17:51Exactly. I thought it was hilarious all the different references Scott put into this book possessed by the bondsmagi or no.
Ha! You have a good eye! I
Sabetha — Sun, 08/29/2010 - 22:10Ha! You have a good eye! I totally missed that ;-) I'm a sucker for references.
Not to do with Scott, but the best book reference ever was in Stephen King's 'Misery'. Annie (main character) mentions how a guy she used to date goes up into the moutain to draw the ruins of a hotel it's mad caretaker blew up. I got stupidly excited about this because it was blatant reference to 'The Shining'.
Heh, I guess you'd only appreciate it if you've read both books! :-)
Another missed reference is
RepetitiveNone — Thu, 09/23/2010 - 22:29Another missed reference is when Locke and Jean are walking from the Sinspire in the second book in the first chapter and come across the dueling cross-bowmen. When Locke expresses his displeasure at the use of cross-bows a young woman approaches Locke and Jean. Jean suggests the use of swords to which she says that almost never a killing blow is immediate, and that a man could hack away at another with a rapier until midnight at the man still be alive. Locke understands what she means.

That has been haunting me for
Wilzo — Mon, 10/04/2010 - 11:01That has been haunting me for so long! It bothered me the first time I read it, though I thought it might be coming in a flashback, but I never got it. Could it be from the end of the Lies, Capa Raza going at Locke as he's clinging to him, repeating the "I just have to keep you here until Jean comes" -thing? I don't, once again, have my tLoLL at hand so I can't check.
Someone, tell me what it refers to, because I think I'm starting to lose sleep over this. (And once someone says what it's about I go "Oh of course, damn I'm stupid!")
Locke would appreciate it.
It is when Locke is fighting
RepetitiveNone — Tue, 10/05/2010 - 20:33It is when Locke is fighting the Grey King, as its mentioned how Locke got many wounds from the Grey King's rapier, it was at falselight and fast approaching night when he fought the Grey King, and Locke slashed the hell out of the Grey King with a dagger until he died.

I think that's what I meant.
Wilzo — Sat, 10/09/2010 - 12:34I think that's what I meant. Thank you, now I can sleep in peace again! ^^
Locke would appreciate it.
Heh, your welcome. Sorry for
