I catch the whole word. But when I began reading I became side-tracked when I read the word lamented.

I immediately found myself living through Conan speaking of the greatness that is Crom and truly, What is Best in Life!

Funny stuff!

You and I need to do dinner one day, I didn't get it initially also.
