Yeah, it was in the most recent book "The Two Blades." They actually had two fights, but the first was relatively short. Obould is magically enhanced enough that even when Drizzt wounded him considerably he didn't go down. A bunch of people intervened in fight #2 but given enough time Drizzt probably would have taken him out. So it wasn't a "win," but Drizzt was definitely the better of the two.
Cool fight, but still nowhere near the Drizzt/Entreri fight at the end of The Silent Blade....which has to be the best fight scene I've ever read.
I've re-read it a few times...in my mind it's more grand than in the book, but it's still a damn good fight. Salvatore jumps back and forth from it a few times during the fight, but the actual fighting takes up the better part of a chapter....maybe 6-7 pages worth of fighting, give or take a few.
Salvatore isn't the greatest writer ever, but as an avid fantasy reader I can say he does one-on-one battles and small skirmishes better than any writer I've seen.

Awwwww......i havent read the two blades yet cry
But damn......that fight between him and Entreri is incredible. Seriously. Salvatore's fights, starting with Homeland and all the way to Lone Drow (since i haven't read the two blades) are simply amazing.....if someone could ever put them in motion......it would be incredible.

Ive always wanted to see either Drizzt series or Heroes of the Lance made in to a series of movies. That would be something....

There is 2 sides to that story tho. The Drow have their tainted version and the Elves have their own. But u can enlighten me. Its been a long time since I read anything Forgotten Realms.
Look around on the net for the Crown Wars 👆
i think it says the story in there about how the drow created by lolth were disgustingly evil and such. However, Corellon forgave themcause of his love for Lolth. But when Lolth and the other drow gods tried to kill him, Corellon banished them all from Arvandor, including Mielikki (cry), and the Crown wars began between the normal elves and the drow, until the drow were driven into the Underdark.

Unless it had a brilliant director like Pete Jackson, it'd end up being crap.......remember the disaster known as Dungeons and Dragons.....god.....i felt sick for 3 days after watching that 😘

Agreed.
I think a lot of ppl base there thought of the Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance on what they saw in Dungeons and Dragons, Harry Potter and LOTR. That is the problem with these threads, they have never read the books. At least LOTR was close. Some things could have been done better imho.

Didn't read any of those, started reading the Rigante series, my HDD died and i was too lazy to dl them again 🙁 But he did look awesome.
Elaine Cunningham is also incredible. As is the Dark Tower series by .................................yep.....you guessed it.......S. King. Fantasy meets the Wild West...... = droolio
~wickerman~
Nah, I don't read Gemmell. Salvatore, Brooks, C.J. Cherryeh (sp?), Robert Jordan, assorted others, etc. There's a lot out there, but Drizzt seems to be one of the most popular fantasy people.
Oh, and a new Entreri/Jarlaxle book is coming out (October I think). Apparently he's popular enough for his own series, sans Drizzt and the Icewind Dale posse.

I didn't even know there was a Dragonlance movie. I shudder to think how they destroyed a beautiful campaign setting 😬
Errrr......while looking for Crown wars, dig up the info you can get on the Blood wars, the wars between Demons and Devils 😈
I think those are most detailed inthe cunningham books.

Havent read any by Gemmell.
I was reading pretty much Salvator, Weiss and Hickman, Jordan stuff.
Is that a trilogy or each an independant book?
Once you've read Gemmell, you will cry because you didn't start sooner. The Rigante is cool, kinda, but remember these names:
Waylander the Slayer, who was cursed with the ability to be able to kill ANYTHING.
Druss the Legend, who remained a legend millenia after he died.
And Skilgannon the Damned, who was resurrected after he died because a world on the brink of destruction needed one of the most ruthless swordsmen that ever lived.
These are the books that changed fantasy for me.
Forever.
