Unfortunately, he gets killed off fairly quickly. Do you think the author likes or hates the band? http://akshayshah.org/knights/archives/202 "They don't have long to wait- Fernando Del Amitri is a fighter and a lover, a bounder and a cad, with an excellent pedigree and a great first line. "I am Fernando Del Amitri. I killed my father. Prepare to die." Cathal leaps down into the alley to prove his prowess, a test of arms, and steel, and grit, and other macho exhortations- he damn near breaks his legs and lands in a heap, prone before Fernando, who cuts him up a little, it seems he's not big on fair play. However before Fernando can really get to work Kullervo flings another dagger, and connects again; a moment later Ignaran conjures and a Wolf appears at Fernando's side. The Wolf stares at the Swordsman, the Swordsman stares back- then the Wolf does its best to eat the swarthy swordsman. A little later, still struggling with Wolfie, Fernando finds respite- Cathal finally gets to his feet and slashes through his armour and deep into his chest with his longsword, Fernando dies, it seems Cathal doesn't mind a bit of dirty fighting either." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2009 06:23:45 -0700 From: Cassie Subject: Re: OV: Del Amitri - the game Whoever it is, they're definitely a fan of The Princess Bride: "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father: prepare to die..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inigo_Montoya On Thu, Aug 27, 2009 at 4:34 AM, Jane Armstrong wrote: > Someone has written a sort of on-line fiction game thing where the villain > is called Fernando Del Amitri.
