Deus Elf Machina (I can't really get away without acknowledging the sheer impact of "Familicide." However, I want to go on record that in terms of pure action, Prize Fight is one of OoTS's best sequences.)
Blood Will Out (While the Oracle is a hilarious secondary character and steals every scene he's in, this was when we saw what Tarquin was really capable of, and it was amazing.)
Obligatory Climactic Battle (This is simply the best book climax yet. Unexpected twists are everywhere, and the action builds and builds until the perfect ending-- sorry, Tarquin-- of #936. Ready to Rumble, while a good fight scene with the guild, isn't even in the same ballpark.)
