I remember there was a discussion on pry bars way back. In The Thief, Pol hands Gen a pry bar when he is breaking in the temple to find Hamiathes's Gift, and Gen mentions that it is his. We were wondering about the logistics of a thief carrying one around, since pry bars are big and heavy, and a thief needs to be fast and sneaky. Well, I was on countycomm.com drooling about some mini lighters they sell, and I ran into these little gems...


All less than a foot long, I think Gen would have had no trouble carrying one of the larger ones.

Although I was just thinking that the littlest ones would be a bit tedious when trying to smash entire doorways of obsidian...better stick with the biggest one!

Those are really neat! I remember it was mentioned that a pry bar was the one thing that Gen didn't always carry with him, since it was so large, but those would certainly make it easier!

Definetly something Gen needs to consider purchasing ...

(Though obviosly Pol's pack was like Mary Poppin's bag ... it could just about anything, even things that are not practical to carry around ...)

(Besides ... what would Gen have to trip over if he didn't use a larger one??? :)

I would totally carry one of those on my key chain. I'm not even sure why. But I bet I could find a practical purpose for it, in addition to purposes of fandom.

Pry bars are ALWAYS useful.

ladraove- I agree, I just read that part recently and it does say that Gen asks for a pry bar because it's the one tool he might need that he doesn't normally carry with him (because it's too bulky).
1221bookworm- That is SO true, though, I never really thought about it until you mentioned it. I mean, they keep short swords in those packs for goodness sake!
Be blessed in your endevours!
God bless!

Cool picture!

Which one would Costis use to pry Gen off the rooftop [with optional beating about the head & shoulders]?
