I'm now envisioning Beryl, Fisco, and Aamir doing Charlie's Angels poses... and I'm pretty much ready to die happy.

I'm now envisioning Beryl and Aamir doing Charlie's Angels poses while Fisco stands in the middle with his cigar looking at the two of them like they've lost their marbles. Meanwhile, they're trying to give him subtle hints to join in.

Add Raef and we can adapt that to the A team.
Or maybe it should be the :w: team.

I mean, Fisco as Hannibal is great, and Raef as Baracus cracks me up.

But I'm not sure what I REALLY like more - Aloise as Face or Beryl as Murdock.

Pfffahahaha, man. Hilarious mental image of Beryl flying a tank.

Also, I take it you meant Aamir rather than Aloise there.

Ahaha, man, too many "A" names.

Yeah, I did. Wouldn't make much sense for Aloise to be Face.

Aamir as Face though... Man. I keep giggling about it. He'd just be so POLITE.

The Eightfold Lotus has gone missing, and now Kimberley Talon goes in search of him. The search takes Kimberley from Jakkard to Valjan and finally to the continent Slena, where she is attacked by a Beast and is saved by Jinsen.

Oh, wow. Totally plausible!

Quote:
Clade goes sight-seeing on Aliavelli. There, he tears down civilization, leaving only an Orc Mystic alive.

This begs all sorts of questions, but mostly, I wonder how The Duchess would react to Clade?

Quote:
Daneera planeswalks to The Wheel. There, she spends an afternoon watching a rainbow with Illarion Vale.

This is apparently an alternate reality version of my novel. The Peace of the Wheel.

Quote:
Agmund is investigating the theft of a Jakk gun on Keter and his suspects include an Eternal Guard member, Beryl, the Heart-Scarred, Chardis of the Dual-Walkers, and Syl of the Dual-Walkers. To his surprise, all the facts point to... Beryl, the Heart-Scarred!

Agmund! You, too! Poor Beryl.

Quote:
Things have gone poorly, and it seems to be Denner Fabellian's darkest hour. But then, suddenly and out of nowhere, Alessa Rehn arrives! She comforts Denner, and things start to seem better for him. Together, Denner and Alessa head off to explore Ihn Gallad.

Denner, you poor sap. Also, I must remember this one for the future...

Quote:
Aria finds herself captured by a very strange army comprised of Soltari Avatars, Illusion Intelligent Nymph Samurais, Cats, and even Horror Eldrazi Advisors.

:D

The idea of Beryl with a gun kind of scares me. That thing is going to go off at the wrong time.

This seemed okay until the cats got involved. Now I'm worried.

While quietly pondering the meaning of life, Raleris, the Lorekeeper was attacked by Ygraine of Segovia. Now, Raleris is trying to figure out how it happened.

She can sneak up on you.

Yeah, it figures those two would know each other...

She sure does.

Quote:
Illarion Vale travels to Zhiran's Academy.

Could be interesting.

Quote:
Denner Fabellian attempts to explain the importance of an Elephant Spellshaper to Daneera, but the arrival of Kahr-ret-Taris complicates matters.

I don't remember this happening in War of the Wheel, but it certainly could!

Quote:
Clade attempts to explain how dangerous The Black Grail is to Vasilias, Lord of Ariva, but Vasilias would rather talk about simple logic.

I could see this...

Quote:
Aria decides to write a story. In it, Things have gone poorly, and it seems to be Mari Gwynn's darkest hour. But then, suddenly and out of nowhere, Maral, Celestial Wright arrives! She comforts Mari, and things start to seem better for her. Together, Mari and Maral head off to explore Mercadia.

I find it very cute that Aria would write a story about her new friend. Interesting that she seems to know Maral...

Quote:
Denner Fabellian arrives on The Wheel, in the possession of the artifact known as the Amulet of the Planeswalkers. There, he becomes infatuated and begins stalking Daneera, hoping to learn more about the Amulet of the Planeswalkers.

Hmm. Possible, but unlikely.

A thousand years ago, the Dual-Walkers, Syl and Chardis, host the Amphiseum Games, and watch a planeswalker battle an overrated Slug Construct.

Those Slug Contructs are always overrated. They tend to break down after about 20,000 miles.

Quote:
The Eightfold Lotus finds himself surrounded by a very strange army comprised of Leviathan Flagbearers, Specters, Spawn Yeti Berserkers, and even Spirit Clerics.

Hmm.

After an unfortunate incident, Nasperge is suffering from having eaten goblin soup. Now, he has to travel to Aliavelli in search of Sri Hara in the desperate hope that he can help.
Someone card "Loxodon Antacid" right quick.

It's the most extreeeeeeeme 90'sest battle ever.

That last one man...

Kimberley Talon interrupts a romantic meeting between The Shifter and a newly ascended Planeswalker: a Centaur!
I have a confession, I've actually read a LOT of erotica featuring centaurs so.... (haha! kidding.)
Quote:
Beryl, the Heart-Scarred flees to Janhapurh. There, she suffers from delirious hallucinations at the hands of Ellia the Endbringer, Vasilias, Lord of Ariva, and Phyrexia. All of it.
All is right with the world when Beryl suffers horribly. Still, this might be a little overkill, even for her.

It's a high stakes game of cards on Shandrovol between Lukas Harran, Raiker Venn, and Sri Hara. But it is the last hand between Lukas and Raiker, and there might be more on the line than anyone suspects!

Raiker: "I'll see your bet, Lukas, and raise you this poem I wrote. It's about this soulstone I found once..."

Quote:
Raleris, the Lorekeeper begins traveling with Aloise Hartley. Can they stick together despite their differences?

Yeah, they would probably get along pretty well.

Quote:
The paths of fate have converged and Jade gets in an epic duel with Renn Winmoore because Renn is searching for The Nocturne Wheel.

Six Degrees of Separation suggests this story is quite possible. Thanks, Raleris!

Quote:
Vasilias, Lord of Ariva has grown suspicious of Aloise Hartley and follows the other 'walker to Iun Ilana and Ikass. There, Vasilias realizes he made a terrible mistake.

Vasilias: "Oh, that's right. I can't leave Ariva! What the hell, Vas, stupid! STUPID!"

Quote:
Lia Xin begins traveling with the Eightfold Lotus. Can they stick together despite their differences?

Conversation might be a bit dull...

Quote:
The multiverse has it out for Asher, as he is trampled while attending a ritualistic stampede. Poor Asher now is left suffering on The Wheel.

There are ritualistic stampedes on the Wheel? That's news to me.

Quote:
The Shifter begins searching for An Æther Vent.

OH, CRAP!

Quote:
Aamir begins traveling with Kirsh of the Flats. Can they stick together despite their differences?

I'm going to guess that yes, they can.

Quote:
Beryl, the Heart-Scarred seemingly interrupts a romantic meeting between Alessa Rehn and Larasa Farleth, but secretly is working to oppose Zhiran.

Beryl: "I think we've got Zhiran where we want him. Thanks for pretending to hit on Larasa for me, Alessa."
Alessa: "Pretending?"

Quote:
Ygraine of Segovia finds herself surrounded by a very strange army comprised of Elephants, Dragon Praetors, Young Constructs, and even Troll Riggers.

Fortunately, none of them notice her standing there...

Do you think those Troll Riggers are trolls who rig, or people who rig trolls?

The lack of a hyphen seems to imply the former, but I don't want to take anything for granted.

I can't explain why the distinction seems important. But it does.

Well, what is the adjective form of Troll? Is it Trollish? Let's assume it is. So, we have Elvish Scrapper (a scrapper who is an elf rather than someone who scraps elves) and Dwarven Driller (a driller who is a dwarf rather than someone who drills Dwarfs...presumably.) So from that, I think we can assume that a Troll who is a Rigger should be a Trollish Rigger...assuming the adjective form of Troll is something other than "Troll."

So I think it is people who rig trolls.

I choose to agree with your analysis, good sir.

Rigging trolls sounds like a difficult job. Hopefully the hours are good?
