Yessssss... But that was totally and utterly adventitious. If it was just the three of them in a totally sealed silver or iron box without any tools- "mano a mano", as it were- I'd still have to go with Jabor.

In an open arena with all sorts of "foreign objects" (as the WWE likes to call them), I'd totally pick Barti.

...because he rocks! :yes:

:hmm: An open arena...Faquarl would have more power though, because he said he works better in open space, which is partially the reason why he likes kitchens (and he likes sharp thing)!
Jabor is too stupid. Sorry to say that pensive is not a noun. You must have difficulties logging in huh? :lol:
Edit: And I still say Bartimaeus will somehow win by luck, or find a crack in the cube.

Yesssssssss.... but remember the jail break from AoS? Jabor devours all those... um... big huge guys and when he finds out Bart is a bit like "oh crap, I'm gonna die, I totally can't beat this guy?"

Mmmm- I think Barti would outsmart Faquarl. He seems to be good at the speedy retreat, too.

But, yes, a crack in the cube does seem to be just the kind of thing Barti would find. He's got luck like that.

Mmmm, I don't have too much trouble logging in. You can call me Dina, if it makes it easier.

Jabor's the most powerful of the three, and Bart could survive only by outsmarting him.

Bart would win. Not becoz of his strength, wit or other talents. He'll win cause he is damn LUCKY!!!
Here are my reasons:-
1. He alone (of all demons) had 3 (three!) masters to care for him. Affa etc. loved by Ptolemy are dead, hence not included.
2. He has survived hundreds (no, thousands) of times when he ought to have died.

Hurray for Bartimaeus!

As have the others I'm sure.
Remember, Faquarl was in the Trojan War, that couldn't have been a picnic.
Just evening out the field here.

Heres the standings:
Strongest: 1. Jabor 2. Faquarl 3. Bartimaeus
Smartest (or sly) 1. Faquarl 2. Bartimaeus (most people would argue about the first two) 3. Jabor (unanimous).
Funniest: 1. BARTIMAEUS 2. and 3. Jabor and Faquarl can fight over that.
Luckiest: 1. Bartimaeus 2. and 3. I can't really say, I don't know that much about Jabor and Faquarl's history.
Most experienced: I say three way tie.
So really, Bartimaeus has the best chance of surviving. Perhaps not winning the battle, but surviving is Bart's thing.

I think Faquarl was funnier than Jabor, because after all, Jabor didn't say much. He just screamed "BARTIMAEUS!!!" a lot.

He did, didn't he? I've been giggling uncontrollably for, like, the past three minutes. Because I realised that you're soooo right. He's like Billy's mom from "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy," screaming about sasquatch.

...That was a random and potentially humiliating reference. :whistle:

That is why I said people would argue about the first two. The only reason I put Barty at just second (really, he and Faquarl tie for first) is because he thought he went back to the Tower after he escaped it. I find that unlike him.
