<t>I actually considered the story rather lame, with a bad group of action scenes, weak romance and even weaker psychological aspect on the main character. To me the movie was somewhat saved by the actors (mainly Nicholas Cage and the older rider) and the good effects.<br/> <br/> It failed to impres...

C&C: Castle Keeper's Screen on Amazon

<t>I have found the item on amazon with the correct ISBN, but the oprice seems to be a bit off, they are listing it as 19.95, which is 5 dollars more than the trolls have it listed on the product page, I wonder if this is wrong, because if it is, the trolls should be the ones contacting them, not me...

<t>I sounds wrong, dorns can easily be defenders (monk variant) for example, and sarcosans from the plains are easily closer to a dex prime than int.
