So, out of all of the books, we finally have one where the villain is killed directly by the Sword of Martin, and in a dishonorable but justified fashion. I don't recall any instance where this has happened.

Indeed, a rapier is good for a light fighter who fights with speed and maneuverability. A broadsword is good for power but also maneuverability. Depending on how much training you had with either, the battle will depend not just on scoring winning cuts and strikes but also being able to outlast the other.

"Grakk had replaced the slain Fallug, who lay stiff on the ground, his face fixed in a hideous grin caused by the adder venom..."
I can't help but think of Joker venom.

Jesus H. Christ, these vermin didn't realize that the ditch was big enough to keep the battering ram from being moved across? Maybe they should've kept it in the woods and bring it out of the woods and up from the bloody road!

So much for that ambush. Honestly, it would've been better if the young hedgehog had seen the incoming vermin and shouted a warning. It would've been a little more dire.

It's a good thing that we have someone who can put this doddering, young fool in his place. As entertaining as it was, this joking character has gone on for all too long.

Zwilt is going to attack from the other side of the main attack. He was putting a lot of responsibility and compliments on his newly made captain, probably knowing that he would fail without Zwilt.

Hmph, should've left him over the pike to be eaten by them.

A badgermaid is not afraid of pike? And is able to whack them with a loaded sling? I don't think there's been anyone like her.

About time somebody found the Dibbuns.
