well, in the same book about 5 minutes after Lanfear almost kicks Rands ass darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 18/06/2010 08:11:49 PM
Here it is:
, "Is he really so strong?" Rahvin asked quietly. "This Rand al'Thor. Could he have overwhelmed you, face-to-face?" Not that he himself could not, if it came to it, or Sammael, though Graendal would likely link with Lanfear if either of the men tried. For that matter, both women were probably filled to bursting with the Power right that moment, ready to strike at the slightest suspicion of either man. Or of each other. But this farmboy. An untrained shepherd! Untrained unless Asmodean was trying.

"He is Lews Therm Telamon reborn," Lanfear said just as softly, "and Lews Therin was as strong as any."


So, from this quote we could conclude that LTT can easily overwhelmed Lanfear face-to-face. Rahvin saying that even he or Sammael could achive that.

So all these people praising Lanfear - in your face! :D



Rand proves that he's stronger than Rahvin. Lanfear or Graendal would have smeared the floor with Rahvin. In the same scene he thinks the two women were about to start fighting each other and he certainly didn't think about overwhelming either of them in that moment.

No three women could block him from the Source... Logain - 15/06/2010 06:52:17 PM 2309 Views
I think that is total BS, since the books have proved otherwise more than once... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 07:22:16 PM 1379 Views
I think he means that it would take three such women to smother him Sidious - 15/06/2010 07:45:03 PM 1465 Views
Ahhh... I can kind of agree with that... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:05:46 PM 1520 Views
Yes, that is what he meant. Another interesting twist... Logain - 16/06/2010 01:34:18 AM 1567 Views
Agreed. Good analysis. Shannow - 16/06/2010 07:48:36 AM 1458 Views

No, this is before. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:49:13 PM 1321 Views
Well that's a different quote from the one you used before, and this one shows Lanfear not succeedin Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:52:00 PM 1298 Views
I never used a quote before. And there's no quote where Lanfear's shield is not succeeding. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:52:28 PM 1183 Views
Simple answer to settle it: Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:00:22 PM 1235 Views
So Talaan is God? fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:04:44 PM 1390 Views
It Rand had half Lews Therin's skill at the time, she would stand no chance..SKILL was her advantage Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:08:41 PM 1293 Views
Skill has nothing to do with how strong a person is. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:11:13 PM 1283 Views
So? Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:15:01 PM 1266 Views
Nope, YOU said he was talking about smothering him, whatever that's supposed to mean... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:26:53 PM 1265 Views
Oh My God! That's such utter tripe... EDIT... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:30:29 PM 1303 Views
That's exactly how I understood you. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:30:42 PM 1198 Views
You do know that this was AFTER Lanfear had picked up the bracelet angreal, right? Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:49:47 PM 1314 Views
It was before... both of them start using an angreal after this. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:52:02 PM 1201 Views
Nope. 6 Aes Sedai couldn't take Raolain Darksbane or Yurian Stonebow...Semirhage = 3 Aes Sedai Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:26:21 PM 1272 Views
Lanfear can do it alone Sidious - 15/06/2010 08:45:09 PM 1247 Views
She ATTEMPTS to cut him off, when he is not at full strength or full training yet... Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:55:39 PM 1200 Views
Plus, Rand was splitting his flows, IIRC. Meaning he wasn't 100% one-on-one with her. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 08:57:35 PM 1263 Views
She was splitting her flows too... she was slicing his weaves of Air. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:59:00 PM 1263 Views
Bah! fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:58:26 PM 1276 Views
I repeat: You cannot shield someone unless you are significantly stronger than they are... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:02:55 PM 1191 Views
Explain Talaan shielding Nynaeve then. Or the two BA shielding her. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:05:21 PM 2174 Views
It becomes a battle of skill then... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:09:42 PM 1362 Views
BUT... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:12:47 PM 1241 Views
Then by your own definition you do not have to be significantly stronger to shield someone darius_sedai - 15/06/2010 11:28:44 PM 1235 Views
Re: "he would have had no need to cut her weaves" Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:03:39 PM 1194 Views
No. There's a difference. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:07:09 PM 1380 Views
Oh come on... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:48:56 PM 1384 Views
I know you are not that ignorant... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:07:02 PM 1191 Views
But that isn't true... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:10:37 PM 1211 Views
Let me spell it out for you... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:18:04 PM 1246 Views
Re: Let me spell it out for you... Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:21:02 PM 1252 Views
Don't put words in my, or Lews Therin's, mouth... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:33:50 PM 1407 Views
??? darius_sedai - 15/06/2010 10:43:28 PM 1405 Views
+1. It ridiculous comparison. Rand even didn't know how to shield a woman. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:22:22 PM 1240 Views
Now that's a ridiculous comparison Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:24:45 PM 1360 Views
Exactly! fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:28:20 PM 1370 Views
Touchy point, heh? Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:28:47 PM 1296 Views
Then how come Lanfear never died? We know she made attempts to capture him. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:31:20 PM 1357 Views
Whom? LTT? Can you elaborate? Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:33:25 PM 1296 Views
If you wish... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:34:38 PM 1065 Views

So, if it doesn't agree with your view, its fuzzy, even when that is what the books say? *NM* fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 10:42:48 PM 698 Views
What? Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 10:45:16 PM 1204 Views

Hehehe! Classic. Maybe his hands were full of her...err..Globes of Fire... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:47:35 PM 1197 Views
I cannot believe you're so obtuse... or then again, I can. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:26:04 PM 1301 Views
About how strong you have to be to shield someone... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:14:31 PM 1096 Views
It's like women's tennis. Put the best up against a middling men's tennis player and they lose. *NM* Tom - 16/06/2010 12:18:06 AM 548 Views

Bad analogy... fionwe1987 - 17/06/2010 04:23:31 AM 1147 Views
Uh... Sidious - 17/06/2010 09:08:01 AM 1173 Views
I disagree. LordPerrin - 16/06/2010 04:03:52 PM 1357 Views
That's wrong. Rand said 2 AS + Moghedien could threaten him Logain - 16/06/2010 05:17:33 PM 1322 Views
Huh. I forgot about that. LordPerrin - 17/06/2010 04:29:38 PM 1383 Views
go back a few posts... Kieran - 17/06/2010 03:41:42 AM 1212 Views
yet Nynaeve and Talaan can shield one another darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:57:09 AM 1230 Views
I'd like to think Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha could RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/06/2010 04:19:22 PM 1148 Views
Agreed darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:59:39 PM 1031 Views
I don't think there's any theme Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:25:52 PM 1401 Views
I don't think they are meant to controll him in someway darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 10:21:09 PM 1229 Views
They have a separate trinity. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/06/2010 06:51:27 PM 1254 Views
They might be able to, but then they are not 3 women of <b>average AS</b> strength Logain - 17/06/2010 07:10:14 PM 1220 Views
They would be far more than 3 average AS darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:07:30 PM 1218 Views
No, that's not right either. Lews Therin Telamon - 18/06/2010 12:37:37 AM 1269 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 06:07:10 AM 1353 Views
Another related quote Skeeve the Great - 18/06/2010 07:49:33 PM 1184 Views
