columbob said:Please elaborate. I seem to remember that Zagarna was responsible for the destruction of the Kai monastery and the entire First Order of Kai Monks. That hardly sounds inept.
Smiling Fox said:I guess that he refers to the brief encounter in paragraph 350 of that book. Zagarna knows of the power of the Sommerswerd, but since his so evil and longs for it, he really needs to see Holmgard being destroyed for himself, thus he places himself in harm's way.
Reginald de Curry said:He's actually referring to John Grant's version of Zagarna from the Legends of Lone Wolf series. Zagarna's rep took a beating in that series.

And then there's the Zejar-Dulaga arrows of the Nadziranim, which were potent enough to kill Taktaal with one shot (the RPG implies that this isn't EXACTLY possible, but it works in the books).
Saved Lone Wolf from a very annoying battle, if you ask me. Got to save up all that violence for Gnaag, after all.

I was never NOT carrying the Sommerswerd around.
On the other hand, I was always kind of annoyed that if you try to use the Sommerswerd against Taktaal, you got the same "Ooops, game over" ending you got by drawing the Sommerswerd anywhere in the city. I mean, by that point, you're RIGHT THERE, at the end, where you're supposed to be. Gnaag's maybe two, three rooms away (couldn't have been too far, to show up just as you finish off Taktaal)?
Of course, the Dagger of Vashna came in VERY handy in Helgedad.
