queensthiefLast time I had a thiefcon, this community helped me create a most awesome (fearsome?) quiz. I'm doing another one, but with a twist. It's a fill in the blank activity using quotes from the books. The twist is that instead of just having them fill in the blanks, I'll be filling it in with the word "pants" and they'll have to write down what the actual quote says. For example:
"He was famous in three countries for his pants."
"Least said, pants mended."
"You're being attacked by six men with pants!"
"Dirnes, I don't want your pants."
"I can steal any pants."
You get the idea. But I need help coming up with enough and I thought it would be fun to ask all you clever people to come up with some. If you wanted to. THANK YOU, SOUNIS!

The Meade had traveled by ship and had landed down the coast only a few miles away at the port of Rhea, but he told Attolia in convincing detail about the poor quality of the roads between Ephrata and the capital and the even poorer quality of the springs in his pants. (carriage)
He was famous in three countries for his lies. Why should she believe anything he said, when he was standing with Mede swords at his pants? (throat)
Somehow, it just seems funnier when "pants" is at the end of the sentence.
