No she didn't darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 16/06/2010 03:02:21 PM
Egwene was under some forkroot when Silviana held her, but Silviana says that later in the night, when Egwene was to be shielded while asleep, one woman would do (the weaker one, Barasine, at that), but she wants more because she thinks Egwene is "tricky". Barasine is weaker than Amys, and I can bet my life on it. How is she supposed to hold Egwene then?

As for Semi, Caddy is talking about holding a shield made by linked women. With Egwene, the shield was woven by Katarine alone.


Silviana made them both go and shield her all night.

Prologue

Katerine and Barasine were startled to say the least at hearing Elaida’s plans for Egwene, and not best pleased to learn that they would be watching her and shielding her while she slept, although Silviana told them she would arrange for other sisters to come after an hour or two.

“Why both of us?” Katerine wanted to know, which earned her a wry glance from Barasine. If only one were sent, it surely would not be Katerine, who stood higher.

“Firstly, because I said so.” Silviana waited until the other two Reds nodded in acceptance. They did so with obvious reluctance, but not enough to make her wait long. She had not put on her shawl to come into the hallway, and in some odd fashion, she seemed the one out of place.

“And secondly, because this child is tricky, I think. I want her watched carefully awake or asleep. Which of you has her ring?”

Katerine and Barasine go on to Egwene's room with her and stay the night.

Even Leane has two guards at all times, even if only one is holding her shield.

Maria's answer to question 20 is ground-breaking! Logain - 10/06/2010 07:36:40 PM 1287 Views
No, it merely means that the Bell Curve does not refer to absolute strength... Shannow - 10/06/2010 07:42:31 PM 1128 Views
See the question again man! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:48:57 PM 1105 Views
That contradicts your assertion that Moiraine is stronger than the average woman... Shannow - 10/06/2010 07:50:11 PM 1195 Views
How? fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:54:41 PM 1128 Views
I need to re-evaluate nothing! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:46:20 PM 1128 Views
Think logically for a moment... Shannow - 10/06/2010 07:49:10 PM 958 Views
Who said Egwene is twice as strong as Moiraine? fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:52:27 PM 1252 Views
Aviendha did in FoH... Shannow - 10/06/2010 07:54:32 PM 943 Views
Nope! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:55:55 PM 1115 Views

Well then we disagree Sidious - 10/06/2010 08:18:10 PM 1100 Views
BUT WHAT ABOUT LATER IN THE NIGHT! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:20:21 PM 924 Views
Ah, you mean later later ... Sidious - 10/06/2010 08:29:59 PM 1030 Views

RJ writes that Amys cannot hold Egwene. BS writes that Barasene can. Who are you gonna believe? Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:31:35 PM 939 Views
It wasn't BS... both were RJ! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:41:54 PM 1029 Views
In that case, there is no problem... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:45:05 PM 1169 Views
But that isn't what the text says... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:57:42 PM 895 Views
How can Egwene be strong enough to overcome Katerine and Silviana together then? Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:07:36 PM 1138 Views
She also says Egwene is Aes Sedai in the same sentence... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 09:25:16 PM 1158 Views
Yeah, both were RJ Sidious - 10/06/2010 08:49:13 PM 1010 Views
Yeah yeah... RJ lied, Maria lied. Only you make sense. I'm finished with this debate. fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:59:06 PM 1099 Views

I haven't refuted? fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 09:53:17 PM 1144 Views
Here's what is clear: Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:02:41 PM 1002 Views
IMO it's easy to disprove Sidious - 10/06/2010 09:22:23 PM 984 Views
Dude... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 09:27:34 PM 894 Views
At least we agree on one thing Sidious - 10/06/2010 09:29:14 PM 1007 Views
No... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 09:32:06 PM 965 Views

Thought on this darius_sedai - 13/06/2010 01:09:29 PM 948 Views
yet 4 women can still hold Rand in LoC ... he can't break the Shield until it's down to 3 darius_sedai - 13/06/2010 12:47:43 PM 833 Views
Have to agree with Sidious on this point darius_sedai - 11/06/2010 02:49:58 AM 932 Views
That was kind of my point... fionwe1987 - 11/06/2010 12:19:23 PM 667 Views
of course Katerine would have complained darius_sedai - 12/06/2010 12:53:31 PM 1055 Views
The rate forkroot wears off? Rurouni_Kenshin - 16/06/2010 12:36:38 PM 1050 Views
You missed that she isn't being given Forkroot at night at all! fionwe1987 - 16/06/2010 04:47:59 PM 950 Views
Typos, screwed up what I meant Rurouni_Kenshin - 17/06/2010 02:31:50 AM 961 Views
You are... fionwe1987 - 17/06/2010 04:32:47 AM 1180 Views
Maria's other answer adresses this... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:14:54 PM 839 Views
Then one Aes Sedai cannot shield her. But one did. fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:16:41 PM 959 Views
You can be much weaker than someone, and hold them shielded, if they are already cut off... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:19:15 PM 942 Views
But, if you are much stronger, you can break that shield... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:22:25 PM 952 Views
Easy... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:24:59 PM 915 Views
What has that got to do with it? fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:32:56 PM 1102 Views
Amys is not LESS than half of Egwene's strength. You cannot hold someone if you are LESS than half.. Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:47:41 PM 1012 Views
Amys is as strong as Moiraine, at the most one level lower. Barasine is weaker than Katarine, who... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 09:00:26 PM 1145 Views
I can agree with that. Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:09:07 PM 901 Views
How can you agree with it? Sidious - 10/06/2010 09:13:55 PM 1107 Views
I'm thinking Berowin here... Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:16:41 PM 1107 Views
Exactly. fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 09:18:19 PM 970 Views
... Sidious - 10/06/2010 09:12:21 PM 902 Views
Agreed, but... Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:13:59 PM 1057 Views
Re: Agreed, but... Sidious - 10/06/2010 09:16:30 PM 860 Views
Good point... Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:18:53 PM 1066 Views
Or, you know, you're wrong? fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 09:27:55 PM 936 Views
Re: Good point... Sidious - 10/06/2010 09:28:02 PM 1142 Views
We've had this discussion before darius_sedai - 13/06/2010 01:59:34 PM 1054 Views
Or, you know, you can have the grace to question your antiquated strength list... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 09:22:51 PM 932 Views
The Bell Curve fits perfectly if one simple fact is true... Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:31:31 PM 887 Views
Or, you know, you can stop misinterpreting Aviendha... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 09:40:05 PM 1016 Views
I'd be perfectly happy to adjust my list if it made sense Sidious - 10/06/2010 09:32:35 PM 876 Views

Re: I explained... Sidious - 10/06/2010 10:45:58 PM 1046 Views
Rand seems to shield Egwene and Elayne TOGETHER, pretty easily... Shannow - 10/06/2010 09:54:03 PM 1551 Views
That's fairly simple, actually... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 10:08:53 PM 1129 Views
Nope. Rand was also cut off from the Source when he broke a shield held by 3 Aes Sedai... Shannow - 10/06/2010 11:18:41 PM 1086 Views
Because that channeler is much stronger? I'm not getting your confusion here. *NM* fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 11:27:31 PM 525 Views
Your Aes Sedai are close to the average woman in strength, right... Shannow - 10/06/2010 11:42:01 PM 1152 Views
You are making a couple of mistakes darius_sedai - 13/06/2010 02:28:41 PM 998 Views
You're missing an important point... fionwe1987 - 14/06/2010 11:10:55 PM 998 Views
Yes, what do you mean? You are actually proving our point... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:10:50 PM 862 Views
No, here's the quote: I hate having to pull out my books with their yellowed pages... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:01:54 PM 922 Views
Why would she need surprise against two? That was against five of them... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:04:57 PM 938 Views
That makes no sense whatsoever... Shannow - 10/06/2010 08:06:53 PM 909 Views
Simply this... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:13:42 PM 931 Views
Very poor evidence Sidious - 10/06/2010 08:11:26 PM 1058 Views
No it isn't... fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 08:18:09 PM 1009 Views
Re: No it isn't... Sidious - 10/06/2010 08:32:17 PM 1086 Views
no she said Egwene is stronger than Amys and Melaine combined darius_sedai - 11/06/2010 12:46:29 AM 1004 Views
The actual quote says Amys and Melaine combined... Shannow - 11/06/2010 12:25:07 PM 1049 Views
Here's the problem with that... fionwe1987 - 11/06/2010 12:42:41 PM 913 Views
Linked circles are more effective than individual channelers... Shannow - 11/06/2010 01:57:43 PM 1010 Views
That much stronger? fionwe1987 - 14/06/2010 11:06:18 PM 1075 Views

She cannot be because she isn't. Silviana can shield Egwene alone, for God's sake. So can Amys! fionwe1987 - 10/06/2010 07:56:26 PM 840 Views

We were speaking about Maria giving a RAFO on the topic, not Sanderson. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 13/06/2010 12:05:17 AM 540 Views
Actually she said "No"... *NM* Etzel - 13/06/2010 01:06:18 AM 633 Views
I'll rephrase then. It was about Maria saying that she considered giving a RAFO on the question. TaskmasterJack - 13/06/2010 01:44:19 AM 957 Views
Yeah, sorry for the rolly-eyed smiley! Was a bit mean... Etzel - 13/06/2010 09:19:13 AM 962 Views

I agree. I think she is saving the good stuff for the encyclopedia. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/06/2010 04:17:07 PM 506 Views
Yeah. I do think she's taking advantage of these poor saps, though. callandor1000 - 17/06/2010 03:52:33 PM 1485 Views
