Great barbarian quotes

[Zander]

I didn't know that. The first time I ever heard it was in Conan the Barbarian movie. Well if there ever was a RL barbarian who made good I guess it would have been Genghis Kahn

It has been translated in various ways, but this one seems as right as any:

Attributed to Genghis Kahn
The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy, to drive him before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters.

 

[alsih2o]

from the player, not the character:

after taking a captive that was thoroughly evil, who would not shut up about how inept his captors were the players says "tugan slits his throat, not angrily, but like someone would adjust an antennae on a radio with bad reception"

We play in the World of Hyboria, so we use all the Conan the Barbarian quotes.

The most popular is:

Khitai warlord: Conan, what is best in life? Conan: "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women."

Others:
"Crom!"

"By Erlik's brass balls!"

"By Hanuman's wooly member!"

"Like a Brythunian woman, she's perennially willing!"

"Nemeidian Dog!"

"Fat like a Kothian king!"

"You smell worse than a Darfarian cannibal scat!"

"You are weak, like the dying. Prepare to be put out of your misery!"

Sean Moore has tons of these in his Conan Books. GRIM GREY GOD and CONAN THE HUNTER are the best for these.

Although not having played a barbarian, I have liked classic Conan quotes like:

'Come any closer and prepare to meet your ancestors in Hell!'

'I must go, I have had a bellyfull of peace.'

For the barbarian who gets nothing right...

"I here to chew butt and kick bubblegum."

Another fine barbarian quote resource is Sergoi Aragones' excellent comic book "Groo."

I played a rather stupid barbarian (2E Viking Berserker, actually). The rest of the party treated him basically like an attack dog -- which was good, since the ranger's pet bear had a higher intelligence.

Anyway, after watching how I reacted to people, especially enemies, and watching what I called them, one of the other PCs made this observation:

"Drott seems to group people into three categories: 1) 'Friends', 2) '***holes', and 3) 'Used to be ***holes'. The second category seems to be rather small and only transitory to the third. I'm quite glad we're in the first."

Now, an actual quote from said barbarian. This quote actually came from sleep deprivation on my part, but it fit the character so well that it was used not infrequently.

"Me..." [turns to the ranger] "What me name?" [turns back to who he was addressing] "Me Drott."

 

[Mercule]

Oh, yeah. My barbarian fancied himself a dragon-slayer, too (usually, the party dug him out of doo while he was in a rage, but he still thought he did it).

Thus, walking through the woods: "HERE DRAGON, DRAGON, DRAGON! HERE DRAGON, DRAGON, DRAGON!"

 

[Angcuru]

*An elven barbarian talking to a human bard.* Do you have any elf in you? Do you want some?

Would it offend anyone if I recited some prose while wading through the guts of our foes? <--- high intelligence score

Y'know I had so many good ones stuck in the back of my head...I'll probably remember them the second I go to sleep.

 

[Starman]

"Magic is impressive, but now Minsc lead! Swords for everyone!"

"Go for the eyes, Boo!"

"Butt-kicking for goodness!"

You can't go wrong with anything Minsc has to say.

MINSC RULES!!!!

"None shall see me, though my battle cry may give me away."

"Minsc grows tired of fighting this mage who will not die! But here it ends! EVIL, meet my sword. SWORD, MEET EVIL!"
