1 " Looking back, I understand now that most of my thoughts had been taken up with day-to-day survival for so long that the old Gar of gambling and flesh mongering had got suffocated, so to speak. He’d offered nothing positive or helpful to the situation I’d found myself in, and had suffered the usual fate of the useless and defenseless in times of disaster. Gar the shitty monk was a fun guy, but you didn’t need someone who had a deep appreciation for wine, gambling and women when your house was burning down; you needed somebody who could run to the well for bucket after bucket. "

3 " As for nicknames, you don’t get to choose those. I didn’t choose Goblin Killer and, later, I didn’t choose Pitiless. But I did earn them. "
