Prize Typos from "Legend"

'Allo everyone!
As anyone who's taken a look at my "Scribblings" tab will know, I'm currently working on the the third installment of my fantasy trilogy. Amidst a lot of plotting, backstabbing, ambushing, snarling, snapping, swearing and pyromania, I have actually managed to give a couple of iffy scenes a read over in the past few days. Of course, as one often does in rough first drafts, I found typos.
And what magnificent typos. Here are a few of my favourites that I think you will all enjoy.

"Kairin winced and rubbed the mark on his chests" - So he's a pirate now? Arr!

"I can hardly even smell my own name!" - A bad case of BO perhaps?

"No doubt with the aim of conquering all who stood in his bath" - Touch the rubber ducks at your peril!

That's all for now folks!

-Spook (never realised how hard it was to write an assassination scene, let alone successfully bungle one)

  2. Hehe, oh I do love them. Especially as they tend to pop up in scenes that are supposed to be really dramatic xD

  3. Hilarious!! :D :D
    The last one is my favourite.. I immediately imagined a golden-haired little kid 'conquering' his minions in the bath tub! :D :D

  4. What is the 'bath' one even supposed to be? It's hilarious, but I can't work it out!

  5. ^^^ I think bath is meant to be "path" in the last one :)

    ... Either that or Spook is making up words :P

  6. @Del - Yep, it was meant to be "path" ... but it didn't quite come out right, so now I have a slightly paranoid king conquering his bathtub :P

    Bahaha, glad you all liked them xD
