Will Butters keep his word and train with Vikings?
« on: September 29, 2017, 08:52:45 PM »
Remember back when Harry was mostly dead and he accompanied Butters to the new headquarters for the guys battling the Formor army located at the castle where his old home burned down? Right after the sparring session between Karryn one Viking/Norse dude, the Vike asked Butters when would he step up to start training too. Butters reply was he would train with them when he owned a lightsaber. Well, he has one now. Will we get to see Butters do or do not with the mythic Norse warriors?
Also, Jim, I know you're only a mortal man but please write a couple books in the series and release a year apart. You can do it. The series got me hooked from the very first paragraph. I know it's a lot to ask of you, yet the suspense is getting unbearable.

I dunno; training with a light saber kind of gets head-choppy if the other person doesn't have one as well.

No... Jim is far better person than George.
He prefers to torture the readers instead.
now that the touring season is done, he ll be able to finish off the brief cases bit and hit into Peace Talks. When I chatted with him at DragonCon toward the end of a signing, he mentioned he had made some good progress on it.

Oh great, go ahead and spoil it for me. Sure I've already read it four times...but I have no doubt that it would've shocked me the fifth time just as much.

No details on Peace Talk particulars. But if all goes well *looks around for wood to knock on* it should be with the editors by January-ish. 

Also he like the 3D printed glow in the dark pendant with jewel that I gave him.

I totally see Butters training.  Though it'll probably be more with Michael and Charity, but I wholeheartedly expect to see him in the ring with the Vikings.
At times I wish I had a clone, but then I realize, I could never live with that a-hole.

How can he not train with Vikings? I'm sure he will receive a lot of basic training from Michael and Charity, but when going up against Denarians you need to be prepared as possible. Nothing says prepared like sparring with einherjar. Side note: I really hope Charity makes him some armor and he goes full Jedi with a brown cloak over it.

I would love to see Butters fight a Denarian who is expecting a typical KotC fight. Butters starts using all these gadgets and the Denarian is just utterly confused and surprised.

Mind fog grenade to the face followed by a lightsaber decapitation would be a very effective combination.

I worry that Butters will have a short life as a knight. While he is smart, brave, and resourceful; I don't know if he has the hardness to handle the job.
