Status Updates From The Swords of Lankhmar

A sonic challenge for the reader:

‘Glipkerio lifted his shoulders, pouted his lips, and uttered a little grunt midway between indifference and unwilling satisfaction.’

Things that have recently aroused amorous or sexual feelings in Fafhrd: a 12- year old girl he just saved from being raped, and a female ghoul (trying to kill and eat him) with transparent skin but “rosily translucent” around the genitals.

WTF, Leiber.

‘As she rose with an effortless-seeming undulation and moved mincingly toward Hisvin, the short steps enforced by her silver ankles-chain, the Mouser noted that although her front had been innocent of both raiment and ornamentation, her naked back was crisscrossed diamond-wise by a design of evenly spaced pink lines from nape to heels.’

‘The floor-tile clattered open wide and a long-bodied black rat came undulating out.’

‘Hisvin’s two Mingols picked themselves up and followed him, vowing to get back to their cozy cold steppes as soon as Mingolly possible.’

Come on, man.

Pizza. Beer. Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser.

What a night.
