Looking for some fantasy novels I read as a young man












0















So here's a gooder. I completely forget the name of or how many books there are in the series. There's a human ranger raised by elves. One of his tasks as a young boy was to collect water using the spongey rocks. He is trained in using a bow staff that turns into a bow. Then during a trial where he fights a skeleton he gets given or finds a sword, because his bow is useless.



There's a bunch of monks that are trained in hand to hand combat, that also gain powers from magic stones. Like the ability to cast fireballs or become half tiger ect... the stones are collected once every 25 or 50 years when they rain from the heavens onto the isle of pimminicut. One of the monks leaves the monestary or whatever he happens to be a part of. He often when fighting will yell "HO HO WHAT".



Can anyone help me find these books?
