Roscoe Lee Browne: Reekon, Merklynn

Quotes 

• Mortredd : [from inside the Aphernaeum]  I take this book in the name of Darkstorm, Lord of the Veldt, High Vizier of the Cliffs, and...

  [runs out yelling with the seat of his pants on fire] 

  Falkama : Ah, it seems that Smoglok still lives.

  Mortredd : [sitting in the fountain to extinguish the flames]  I was unable to reach the book, master.

  Reekon : [running in]  Let me try. I have an affinity for reptiles.

• Reekon : Good dragon...

• Reekon : Virulina, why did we allow ourselves to be caught?

  Virulina : We follow a fool.

  Lexor : Who is more a fool: the fool, or he who *follows* the fool?

• Merklynn : This is the last time I will intercede to save you.

• Merklynn : Your men were right. They are following a fool.

  Darkstorm : [chuckles and holds out a wizard's-bane leaf]  *Now* who is the fool?

• Merklynn : I thought it had been eradicated from Prysmos.

  Falkama : [the wizard's bane freezes Merklynn; he appears laughing]  It has not. It has simply been marketed under another name.

• Darkstorm : [as he leans in over his shoulder]  Your nosiness will get you in trouble one day, Reekon.

  Reekon : I was going to help you read it, Darkstorm. The light here is very bad.

• Reekon : [of the frozen Ectar]  You know, he might make a marvelous trophy for my den.

• Darkstorm : Thus ends the Plague of Fire.

  Reekon : Well, that does not leave me looking forward to the *next* plague.

• Merklynn : If you are imprisoned, I will not release you. Expect no favors from me. And do not even consider trying to release these other wizards.

  [glances at their table] 

  Merklynn : Ohhhhh, drat. They've escaped. You, are a great deal of trouble.
