At the request of Jinzin, the next round will be delayed until Tuesday. I'll leave the bonus round up until then. Those remaining in the tourney are encouraged to vote in the bonus round as well...
Speaking of tourney-talk, this might interest Dizzle (or anyone else for that matter)...
Just got my hands on the new Drizzt comics. They do a good job capturing the feel of the stories from the books, but they feel a bit rushed (they have to fit a novel's worth of material into 3 comics). But Drizzt (and his dark elf brethren) have never looked better. Hopefully they help bring Drizzt the respect he deserves....it describes Zaknafein as the best weapons-master in Menzoberranzan in over a millinia (among a warrior race of highly skilled fighters), and Drizzt is every bit his equal, and probably a bit better. The coin-grabbing trick from early in the book shows him with multiple arm movements in a single panel...the kind of speed-drawing that is normally reserved for the likes of Spider-Man and similarly fast characters.
Just thought it was pretty cool...hopefully the series keeps going. At 3 comics per book (give or take), they can probably stretch it to near 50 comics (there's something like 14 books right now). I'd love to have them in my collection.
Anyway, I reccommend it to anyone interested in Drizzt but who's too lazy to read the books. It's called The Legend of Drizzt.
In Zaknafein's defense, he was zombified and had some inner conflict over fighting Drizzt so he probably wasn't at 100% efficiency for that fight. But still, I get the idea that Drizzt eventually surpassed his master...even if it was a bit later in life (and they both got some shots in during their fight when both think the other is evil, so they're close).
And Shocktopus can quit whining and wait his freaking turn!
Meh, he still didn't feel pain. And Drizzt DID end up getting him to fall in a big pit of acid, and he had enhanced strength and stamina from being undead. So even a bit under 100% would be better than Drizzt physically...
What really made me angry was how Salvatore made everyone think Zak was coming back, but never did. He's in my top 3 characters of the series, with Jarlaxle and Artemis...

Digi decided against a 'gloves-off" match. Besides which, in a full-power bout Vanth's sword could take all the juice Electro could dish out and then some. In Peter David's Dreadstar mini from Bravura, Vanth absorbed a solar flare thrown at his ship by some evil space-gods.
