Lord Soth V.S. The Witch King

[Tyrant]

I must say Tyrant, you made that an pain in the ass to read. My arm sores from so much clicking...

My apologies. I was just trying to not have another post take up half a forum page. I also figured some people wouldn't want to read through all that. There was no intentional attempt to cripple your arm. Despite my disagreement I don't have anything against you personally.

Wait, the Blue dragonwing merges with the green dragonwing... and all they get is like 5-10 dragons? And there are no adults whatsoever in their ranks...
This is all sounding questionable. Are we sure
Oh, and I counted up the numbers of the dragons looking up the blue dragonflight, and I counted 57 dragons. 59 counting Eluctrus and Thunderkill.

You found accurate troop statistics?! Where?! I've been looking for months and found nothing! (froths at mouth)

And yeah, the Green Wing took a heavy beating during the Vingaard campaign. Then after the fall of Neraka they set up shop in Khur until the resistance drove them out. Kullek Skullsmasher managed to keep part of the army together then merged with the Blue Wing.

Oh, I did find some other stats. It seems that the Green Wing had some twenty dragons with them in 352 AC four years before the merging.

So the green lost men after that, and merged with the with the blue. If there are 42 blues, that means that 8-17 joined up

Then again, I think that site I'm using is a wiki.

So, has this topic been debated to death yet? Is everyone entrenched in their opinions and beliefs? Heh.

I give him a large percentage of the odds but not absolute 100% odds, but I think that's how it is.

The one on one battle seems to have deadlocked though.

Is two months some kind of record for one of these threads? Cuz that's how long this discussion has been going on.

The Sauron Vs. Voldemort thread last year lasted almost 3 months and had over 40 pages of posts. I think the mythical Link Vs. Sephiroth thread was longer, but I don't know the duration.

Long durations aren't unheard of.

[Mr. Scaly]

Sometimes they come back to life too. Sauron vs the Lich King lasted some twenty five pages then died off...then clawed its way out of the grave and lasted another ten pages.

Won't happen again at least xD. The debate is dead, espescially after how much Blizzard changed there lore around.

With only 50 dragons, though whatever damage they would do would be great, it wouldn't be nearly enough. Soth's forces are out number 50 to one, or so.

And no EE, I've just been out of town for a week.

In a vs. battle, Soth could really win, but in a army battle, Soth loses, much to my displeasure. That is my conclusion, don't tell me I am wrong.

I find it hard to reply to some of your stuff EE... I'am out of the loop right now.



But from my understanding, we have all come to our own conclusions on the Lord Soth vs. Witch King topic.

If that is so, then the current talk of power level is totally off topic. And if thats the case, then we may need to bring the debate to a new topic. How is that with everyone?



Edit 8/7/08: Was it something I said?

Some examples of Ariakas' power:

- After Soth bitch-slaps him he turns around ready to reduce Soth to a pile of ash with a spell before realizing he is a Death Knight. By this point in the series Weis and Hickman are playing a bit fast and loose with spell levels and suchlike, but no way is burning somebody to a cinder a first level spell.

- He surrounds himself with a magical shield in Neraka potent enough to keep anybody from stabbing him, at least until Raistlin lowers it from a completely different part of the temple complex.

- I'm fairly sure, though I can't prove it atm, that he was involved in the creation of the Draconians.

Some more Soth trivia:
- His armor, sword etc are reasonably close to indestructable from what I can tell. For one thing he's been using the same stuff for 300 odd years, apparently without cleaning or other forms of maintenence. It also survived the fire that destroyed Dargaard Keep, a fire so hot it burned through rock.

- Raistlin is the only living thing Soth has ever met that he fears. Granted, Soth probably doesn't go on Meet 'n' Greet tours of Krynn, but he did spend a good portion of time kicking around Neraka, which was packed to the gills with priests, wizards and warriors of various and sundry power levels. It also clinches my earlier conclusion that Soth could dominate Ariakas, Dalamar and pretty much anybody else who comes to mind.

- Isn't Soth described somewhere as a being that the gods themselves might fear?

Just got done re-reading the books for the 100th time. Dalamar and Riakas solo Soth and it's not much of a contest. 🤷
