| Re: Death scenes. My favorite death scene has to be that of Jaim Grymuch. In his death he epitomizes all heroic qualities that all people strive for. In my opinion it only beats Bisons because even the bad guys don't want to kill Jaim because of his heroic actions. |

| Re: Death scenes. I like Durmast, more for the fact that he wasnt a hero and was generally greedy and selfish, but still come through in the end and in the words of the thirty "only true heroism can be achieved by a coward" (think thats the right quote). |

| Re: Death scenes. I'd have to say either waylanders or decados death was the best. I think I liked them so much is that decados death showed how much he'd learned and changed form the Ice killer he was once known for. Also waylander was finally allowed do what he dreamed of doing for years before he died, and boy did he do it in style! |

| Re: Death scenes. I voted for Finn because it is one of the most underrated heroic events in ll DG's books along with Pagans. I mean, the man walked through a legion of Nadir? (been a while since I read the books!) just to end his life with his best friend. Pagans was unbeliveable aswel. He held off NINE joinings, just to save some children! Max respcet is right. |

| Re: Death scenes. I'm going to have to say Druss. Not that i'm taking away from any of the other death scenes but because he is roughly 60 years old wielding Snaga and he defeats scores upon scores of enemys and even the huge giant (i forgot his name i know it starts with a N ) and he didn't even fall until the 4th wall, no easy feat for any man :P |

| Re: Death scenes. Sadly Pagan isnt mentioned in the list above, Id have voted for him if he was. To be able to hold off 9 joinings requires some very strong bowels and heaps of courage and tenacity. Hats off to Pagan ![]() Hi by the way! |

| Re: Death scenes. Pagan for fortitude against the odds. Druss for sheer pig headedness against death, and the fact that such a man comes but once a lifetime or longer. Connavar for knowing that the brother he loved had betrayed him, but willingly went to see him anyway. That man, though a tortured soul, had many levels. Decado for choosing a manner which was the total reverse of how he had lived his earlier life, showing a mind that had evolved to a greater plane. There were many a great death written by Gemmel. Even Jasaray? when beaten shows extreme fortitude and acceptance in death, even throwing his arrogance and ego in the face of his vanquisher. So many great characters. I will seriously miss his writing. |
