Three things...

#1. Mr. Salvatore, plz to be noting that when you have a number of lightning bolts hit the ground within yards of your characters, they should all be DEAD OF LIGHTNING because they travel through the ground. There's a reason you're supposed to crouch to minimize your contact with the ground when caught in a storm instead of lying down.

#2. Streams of Silver, p. 139: "Her nose was broken and disjointed, splayed across her cheek." EUW!

#3. I found a boarding pass in the book, obviously used as a bookmark, for a flight on December 29th, which is my birthday. Amusing coincidence, until you realize that the last time I found a boarding pass in a used book, it was for a flight on ... December 29. OOooOOOOoooOOOoOOOOO

Did the broken nose belong to your coquettish ranger lady?

No, the ranger's one scene was in an entirely different book. This nose belonged to a beautiful black-market dealer in information who did the bait-and-switch thing on Our Heroes over a map they were trying to get and got beaten up and the map stolen for her trouble. And then she insulted an assassin and got killed.

The other two women that have more than one line consists of a manipulative, bitchy, evil wizard's apprentice, and Cattie-brie, our airheaded love interest. Who appears to at least be attempting to plan her way out of trouble at the moment, but who got into it for stupid reasons in the first place.

Well, that's only natural. Women are only for pumping out babies anyway.

Like those little egg-dropper things you can buy on Easter.

Remind me that if I ever send you a book to hide my plane ticket/boarding pass from when I went back to school after Christmas :3

Point 1 is explained by: Game physics! Lightning only damages what it was targeted upon. Never mind that it does not make sense, that is how lighting works in the Realms/D&D.
