this pentagram." -- Bleys

"I can burn your head." -- Farad
"I can poke out your eyes." -- Alastair

assassinate him." -- Duncan

"(Bonaparte) reaches down with his burning hand." -- GM
"Nope, the other hand.  Nice try, though." -- Bonaparte

deathbeds." -- Bonaparte

"You're getting a headache." -- GM

"I pick (the gun) up." -- Duncan
"It bursts into flames." -- GM

"That's Gerard, a man for the nineties." -- Dann

"Is anyone in this room strange in any peculiar way?" -- Alastair to GM

"I talk to the colorful French chef, who's name is Maurice." -- Alastair
"Well, hello Senior Alastair!" -- GM
"I thought he was French?" -- Kris
"He's colorful, now be quiet." -- GM

"Cutting even an Amberite in half with a Pattern sword will slow them
down." -- Tony to the group at large

"I'm sure most of the castle is not handicap accessible." -- Alastair to GM

-- Rasa to Colin

"If (the evil demon guys) invite you to join them, the answer would be
yes." -- Tony to John

"Rasa was saying earlier that some of your actions would be considered
less than intelligent." -- Gabriel to Bonaparte
"I didn't say it like that." -- Rasa
"No, I was being polite." -- Gabriel

"(Reverting Bonaparte to his true form) won't prove anything." -- Lilith
"No, but it will confuse the situation even more, which isn't such a bad
thing."  -- Rasa

"You're walking through Shadow, and suddenly an earthquake destroys 10,000
of your troops." -- GM
"We leave that Shadow, fast." -- Bonaparte

"You are really impressed that Gabriel jumped off the ramparts of Tir-na
Nog'th." -- GM to Farasa
"Is impressed really the adjective you're looking for?" -- Dann

"Is that the Jewel in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?" --
Lilith
"Uh, a little of both." -- Colin

"Maybe babies can just sense the negative chi in Andrew; you know, like if
Shang Tsung were holding a baby in his arms, thinking about how he would
like to eat her soul.  It's kind of like that." -- Steve to the group at
large, discussing Andy's bad luck with Kayla

"Bonaparte and an army of really tasteless clothes have taken over the
