    Could Belkar saying to Mr Scruffy that he doesn't know how he doesn't get bored playing with string be foreshadowing to the Snarl having gotten bored after an eternity just playing with string and starting to try to build?

    That allusion was not lost on me in #1190, but after I puzzled over that a bit, I got the idea that the String was a metaphor for, or symbolic of, the Snarl. "Who is playing with/manipulating the Snarl?" (as Mr Scruffy does with the snarled string ball) is where my wondering went.

    That’s an interesting perspective! There’s so many ways it could go. The snark could have got bored and evolved, a god could have discovered how to manipulate it, there are so many possibilities.

    O.K. So this is going to be a Belkar-centered book. Not that I don't expect the others to have some fun, but Belkar looks like he's finally going to take a turn in the sun.

    Good. It's been a great build-up.

    Is Mirnah going to convert Belkar to being a Thor Worshiper? Because if anyone could, I think it's her. That was a GREAT speech!

    I know I'm stealing this from someone else. But it's SO FUNNY

    Bagnold could be one sixty-fourth halfling.
