"Logically, Jig knew he was safe. Logic, however, had only a single small voice, and was easily overwhelmed by panic."

"Maybe this was why gods stayed on another plane of existence. If they stayed here in the mortal world, their followers would be too tempted to punch them in the face."

"Plans were for adventurers. He preferred the goblin approach. Blind panic might not work all the time, but at least it saved you the stress of planning."

"Jig’s life would be much simpler if she were dead. That more than anything else, convinced him she was still alive."

"Nobody dies faster than a tired soldier."

"He seemed to think that killing was something to be done only as a last resort. It was a strange philosophy, one that would take some getting used to."

"I’m told it’s very difficult to escape death once he adds your name to his list."

"He hoped he hadn’t killed the guard. He had come here to help the goblins. Though eliminating some of the stupider guards might be construed as helping. He would have to think about that later."
