Quotes
Dan "It's better to ask for an apology than to ask for permission."
GM "You mean 'forgiveness.'"
Dan "Yeah, yeah, whatever."Mandor "If my niece is going to be staying here at the expense of the Crown, she needs to have suitable window coverings!"
GM "The hotel staff look at you and blink. Blink."
Mandor "I'm thinking 'cloth-of-gold gauze.'"
Giselle "No, thank you. You may leave."
GM "The staff leave and Mandor changes the curtains."Mandor (in the midst of a long explanation) "…and Ygg, being a tree, is rather forthright--"
Giselle "Perhaps you could emulate him and I could catch up quickly."GM (describes how Raj and Magni are followed, at a distance, by groups of shaggy warriors.)
Magni (approaches castle, asks the messenger) "Who are the rug people out here?"Aedan "I'll return Bleys's cloak to him after I have it cleaned. No, I'll have it Martinized."
Raj/James "What exactly is Martinizing?"
aedan/Todd "I don't know, but, surprisingly enough, it became a quite popular technique during Martin's reign."Aedan (trumping Magni in Osric's realm) "Are you in trouble? Do you need to be pulled out?"
Magni (after having just been fed scrumptious food, massaged by gorgeous women, and bathed) "Oh, it's torture here. Osric's a real bastard, I tell ya."Magni (is pulled through the trump contact by Aedan; Magni is carrying a pillar of drawers)
Aedan "Is that Osric's desk? Why didn't you get the ewer instead? It's gotta be worth more."
Magni "I wasn't investing."Magni "The problem is not trumping Searlas or Osric. The problem is the exposure that contacting them makes."
Raj "I don't mind exposing myself…uh, I mean, I'll go talk to them."Todd "The Unicorn has one agenda item: sameness."
Dan "It's not a unicorn; it's a 'unity-corn.'"
Corwin (seeing Magni carrying Osric's desk) "Where did that come from?"
Raj "You don't want to know."
Corwin "You would be mistaken."Giselle (leaps onto Merlin)
Merlin "Mmph!"Dan (listening to GM's description of the metaphysical force of nature confronting Aedan.) "When she eats your soul, can I have your stuff?"
Todd "Yeah, come get it. It'll be right here (in front of the force of nature)."GM (still describing the aforementioned force of nature woman) "Her third eye opens. It's slit sideways, like a snake's eye. There's a clicking sound and the two swords over her head unlock. Those two arms lower behind the rest of her arms. All eight of her arms are obviously straining."
Dan "Is this Bleys's wife? I'm worried, 'cause their kids are going to be a real handful."
GM "You mean 'eight hands-full.'"GM "…in your cochlea-that's another one!"
Dan "Yeah, you're racking them up tonight."
Todd "Let me see. You said 'rill,' 'tragolith,' and 'cochlea' so far--and narwhale, but I don't think that counts."
[Chronicler's Note: I have a B.A. in English, a 2000 page dictionary, and I write a monthly column on spelling and grammar and I couldn't find the word "tragolith" anywhere. Did I spell it correctly?]
GM's Note: I think it's a Zelazny-ism. See the Amber Glossary.]
