He did a nice job defeating those demons that murdered Ptolemy.
Of course there were more than 10.

It still doesn't mean he could have beaten anybody, I think those were afrits* summoned by the Roman magicians anyway.

*I correct myself they were djinn but there were about 20 of them, I just checked my book

Even so, ANYONE is an overstatment of considerable size.

Yeah, he definitely couldn't have defeated a marid or a greater spirit.

I voted for Bart coz he is more lucky then Faquarl & would thus win every fight against him. Hence Bart would proclaim himself stronger & others (i.e me) would agree. :D

True. But don't let me say it. I am a huge Barty fan & supporter. :wub:

Yeah, esp. somelike like Barty who just can't resist boasting.
Just realized 'Faquarl' is misspelled in the title.

I think that all djinn like to lie about their power though just to scare mostly lesser spirits.

Maybe it's a part of their personalities. Especially Bart's, he wouldn't scare just the imps and foliots. He would love to have a go for scaring Nat off his pants one day.

Which he might have done when he was first summoned by Nat in the first book.

I forgot who I voted for in this poll...

I always felt Faquarl was cleverer but a lot more overconfident. Because of that, he tended to be careless & lose.

Actually, yeah.

Bart would rather run than fight, but when fighting's to be done, he's all there.
