Fafhrd and Gray Mouser, book one I read

 It is good. Starts of with an action sequence… two wizards and a mob of fighter types fight them. Kinda funny. The idea around a copper or something 30 foot wire on a sword to thwart a lightning spell is interesting. Wished he didn’t use the word “stuff” when describing the lightning but i guess from the two heroes perspective it was a whatever thing… maybe.  Then again before that described as blue white ghostly fiery… semi translucent or something. And later states lightning plainly eh? 

WORDS TO USE IN DND

  • Sniggered
  • Fie fie
  • A Wand to mean a quaterstaff.  Around page 35, the fiht on the deck of the Squid ship.  
  • They began to drub away at each other with wands (quaterstaffs ). 

SPOILERS BELOW SPOILERS


Are there some were-rats or what?! I think the albino lady is one.  Let’s see… I am on page 31 or so.  After the double headed (one lrg one small) sea dragon with the rider mage with the German ish name.  And they see the ship was sank by rats including one white one. 


Easter Egg/Origins

  • 3.5e dnd miniatures had the white albino wererat… I have it.  Related? Surely. 
  • Hisvet has a pipe flute thing to inspire the rats = dnd pipe of the sewers.


Interesting- Does the author like mice or … were-things?

  • The Gray Mouser? Wereratz? 
  • Fafhrd’s hairy chest (mentioned often, called ape by enemy).
