On helping out the quote taker:

On sharing one outfit:
Amy: (to Jill) You don't have a shirt... And I don't have pants.

On beauty and nakedness:
GM: (as Random, OOC) Just stand in this light for a second - a little backdrop. Vialle never gets that joke.

On finding things hard to believe:
Tezda: [Benedict and Fiona] were kind enough to bring us back here.

Ixi, Benedict's companion - played by Kingsley Lintz

THE QUOTES

On Ixi:
Meera: Only Benedict would have brought his own personal banshee.
Val: Well, he thought a rooster was too common for an alarm clock.

On puns, very nice:
Val: (describing Corbin) He got permission from the Transylvanian government to climb the Vampire State Building.

On where Morgan goes when he's gone from Tir:
Meera: I've been in a closet in Amber for four hours. You don't want to know.

On question and answer:
Lee: You finally ask the right question and it's, "sorry, I can't answer that now."

On Dalt and tact:
Adam: Something about when he first arrived in Amber he was invited to the regular card game and was very untactful in accusing Random of dealing off the bottom of the deck. Something like, "I'm not as blind as your wife."

On party gifts:
Meera: Oh man, who brought a copy of Play Amber?

On checking for signs of ill health:
Kingsley: [Lu] puts his hand on [Penny's] forehead and her hair bursts into flames.

On rivalry:
Fiona: Where's Benedict's pet - I mean Ixi?

On nicknames for shroudlings:
Penny: Well, there was... mini me.

On shroudlings:
Amy: They're friendly, but in a woojy kind of way.
Kingsley: Hey, can I have your soul? You aren't using it.

On Dalt, good definitions:
Adam: Rippling muscles. Squishy brain.

Trumping through to the captured Corwin causes your Trump to show the Unicorn on both sides. On uses:
Amy: You got a Trump of Corwin? No, but I have one of those double-sided Unicorn cards.
Adam: I can trump the Unicorn, or the Unicorn.

An evil shroudling has reanimated Deirdre. On famous last words:
Kingsley: We're all just hoping that Morgan's last words aren't, "Oh, hi Deir-"

On shapeshifting into shadows:
Penny: I'm poking it, but for all I know it could be Lu or Moire or Corwin... or Oberon.

On transforming to primal shape:
GM: The Balrog doesn't really count in this case.
Lee: What?!

On touche:
GM: Sorry, Ixi. You have just been thrusted at.
Kingsley: I didn't know that Lupin and I were at quite that stage of our relationship.

NOTE: Most quotes are from Team 2, the team in which Turin was a member.

Donal: She hates men.

On don't you just love her?
Kierra: It's Richard, Karina and Ric. They approach... Wanna shoot 'em?

On Turin uses the "Daddy voice":
Turin: I think we'd better know a bit more about this Eleanor before we let her daughter walk the Pattern.
Andi: You know, never before have I heard words that cut.

On Lance's butt (mentioned in two write-ups as being cute]:
