The Official Inheritance Spork, Part 2: Hammerfall

Nov 20, 2011 14:51

Hello, everyone! Stealingvowels was sick and busy and unfortunately didn’t get the chance to do her chapter, so I’m posting in her place. In the last chapter, we found Eragon in a battle and he expanded his equipment by obtaining Plot Coupon Spear, which triples his stat points. Suddenly, something happened to Roran!

Good job! Yeah, I when I read this chapter I was really wondering why they had to make it take so long for Eragon to get to Roran. The only thing that happens is Eragon showing off that he's in Godmode plus lots of boring confusing running. I agree Roran had ridiculous plot armor and we never even suspected he'd be down for the count. This chapter and most of the first half of the book is pointless.

Something to add, this chapter title, along with many of the rest are really dumb when you try to see why Paolini chose them. Calling this chapter Hammerfall is a cheap trick to make us assume Roran will be dead and since we find out he's fine, that basically means Paolini lied to the readers. Also I think it is an allusion to the Elder Scrolls games where there is a place known as Hammerfell. Take your pick, forced unneeded allusion or straight up lie, maybe both!

CP DIDNT LIE! HE WAS TRYING TO CR8 TENSHUN 4 TEH READER, U H8R!

I'm just being a smartaleck here and imitating a rabid fan who doesn't listen to criticism.

CR8 and H8R went entirely over my head. But then, the fact that I don’t understand that kind of language tells you which parts of the Internet I haven’t been.

C'mon! You know what a CR8 is, even if you've never seen one in real life. It's a box made of nailed-together boards. Paolini put all the TENSHUN in there to keep us readers safe.

I figured out CR8, not too sure about H8R

mage_apprentice November 21 2011, 15:20:34 UTC

CR8 = misspelled create
H8R = hater

Thanks. (Urban Dictionary wasn’t being helpful.)

There's absolutely no link between Hammerfell and Roran, but heh, stinking barges!
