    [​IMG] Wow, that was good! I hope that someone will make another animation like that some day.

    Actually, I wanted to post that on SP a year or so ago, but after I've seen it, I didn't really think it was that good... Heh.

    [​IMG] This was pretty good, and I liked the type of style as well. Even for those unfamiliar with the characters you should watch it (but of course it's better if you do).

    Loved it. The fight scene was very well done.

    Sure there were a fair number of faults with it story wise... and regis looks damn weird having a head 2x the size of his body. However the way they drew them is probably the artists' style.

    Artemis with sideburns? :lol: Have to admit though, you can link the face to his personality despite it being different from how the book describes (clean shaven, goatiee).

    The animation is done in an oriental style. (aka anime quality)
    Very nice, though Jarlaxle looks more like Zantetsu IMO. (Oriental assassin ala ninja)
    Of course the whole possibility of the battle happening in Kara-Tur is off, so...
    I can probably never do better meself, though.

    It was very cool, I really liked the *oversized* style.


    My favourite part was when Regis gave Entreri the finger (if you've read the books you'll know why) :p

    That was pretty good, but I only knew drizzt, Guenahvar (sp? -I should know it I read it enough :rolleyes: ), and Bruenor as I have just ordered the Icewind Dale trilogy yesterday (through SP of course ;) ). Errr, so who are they?

    The little one is Regis. Halfling with a little mace.

    The huge guy is Wulfgar. Barbarian with a nice hammer.

    The guy who attacks the party is Entreri. Human assassin, cool dude.

    The guy coming out of the portal must be Jarlaxle. Without a doubt the coolest dark elf you'll ever read about.

    and all the other things that come out of the portals are drow from Jarlaxe's mercenary company named Bregan D'aerthe.

    Thanks, just finished the Crystal Shard and I recognise them now :) Still... would have thought Regis would have been 'bigger' (even for a halfling)he looked like he belonged in South Park.
