Hmmm. Well, JenHallu, Diamond, & Cel, I'm just going to bring something up here.

Of the seven remaining contestants we have two dwarves, two dragons, one man, one woman, & one eagle. Now I certainly agree with you that Hama is nothing special (sure he was good as far as doorwardens go) but why don't we vote out a dwarf or a dragon? Something there's two of...just to keep things a little more even.

I don't know that I'm championing reducing all the races down to one for the final five but...

Just something to think about. I don't much care I guess.

Because I like non-humans.

Untrue! I have witnesses.

Let's just say that I have my agenda in place for this game. And Hama the Hammy doesn't fit in to it.

White-Hand

+ + HAMA

How much intelligence does it take to work out that, to a Wizard, his staff is his weapon? Yet Hama managed to get himself outwitted by a serial uncloaker. The guy's a numbskull.

And, since film-based evidence appears to have been acceptable in the past, I feel it my duty to draw attention to his humiliating screen death. Scoffed by one of those mutant Hyena-Lemming hybrids. Truly, excrutiatingly, toe-curlingly, teeth-clenchingly embarassing.

Pah! He didn't deserve to make the final first time round. He certainly doesn't deserve to go any further in this competition.

This vote thing is draggin' a bit.

+ +Chrysophylax Dives

His name violates Tolkien's number one rule about allegory. Reason enough!

His last name--Dives--is Latin for rich and to people in the Middle Ages--and we all know how much time Tolk spent there--Dives was the rich man in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. (Luke XVI 9 - 31). Apparently the House of Dives is still noted in Jerusalem. Unless it's been bombed recently of course.

So what has to go? This excrable academic scholarly parallel that ruins the story? Or the bad pun about a filthy rich dragon?

Will you not be persuaded by one of the Dead?
