2----
3* After escaping from yet another Underdarkian peril, there is a paragraph which starts, “They ran through the winding tunnels blindly, hoping that no monsters would rear up suddenly before them.” The sheer blandness of the statement, coupled with the no-fuckin'-duh sentiment-- 'hoping that no monsters would rear up suddenly before them' could be appended to nearly EVERY sentence in ANY book-- makes this line unintentionally hilarious. And that's even before getting into the Fourth Wall Painting wink-and-a-nod to Random Encounters aspect.
4* Drizzt telling Guenhwyvar to lie down on sleeping Belwar in order to annoy him. It works several times.
5* Bruenor's frequent musings about how Roddy [=McGristle's=] dog would taste. And his eventual regret when he eats its leg.
6* Early in ''Homeland'', a fleeing Alton [=DeVir=] charges headlong into a MagicMirror.
7-->Perhaps it was a teleportation door to another section of the city, perhaps a simple door to a room beyond. Or perhaps, Alton dared to imagine in those few desperate seconds, this was some interplanar gate that would bring him into a strange and unknown plane of existence!\
8He felt the tingling excitement of adventure pulling him on as he neared the wondrous thing—then he felt only the impact, the shattering glass, and the unyielding stone wall behind it.\
9Perhaps it was just a mirror.
10** And then the guy trying to kill him is ''pissed'' that his mirror's broken - to the point he claims that's ''why'' he's trying to kill Alton. (Mirrors aren't easy to come by in a naturally pitch-black environment.)
11* In ''Sojourn'', Drizzt pretends to be a very melodramatic black dragon [[ForcedTransformation trapped in the form of a drow]], who's starting to develop [[TheMindIsThePlaythingOfTheBody an unnatural fondness for spiders]]. This manages to gross out the red dragon he's talking to, and then Drizzt starts worrying about what will happen if the dragon develops enough sympathy to turn him "back."
