Thanks. Was Arangar channeling at the time? Shannow Send a noteboard - 21/09/2010 07:13:53 PM
Can you sketch the scene for me. What was Arangar doing? Was she lounging on a sofa, playing with Delana, sipping on some wine?

Was she even aware Graendal was in the room?

I'd appreciate a bit of detail, if you can provide it.



Graendal and Aran'gar were in the same room, and Aran'gar knew that Rand was outside on the hill. Graendal was using a dove to evesdrop on Rand but Aran'gar couldn't see what she saw or hear what she heard. When Graendal saw him turn on the access key she opened a gateway, put shields on them, leapt through it, and saw the white light of balefire before closing it. Aran'gar had enough time to say "Graendal? What are you --"

and we know it wasn't enough to overwhlem Verin's circle darius_sedai - 21/09/2010 08:02:13 PM 1829 Views
I disasgree. There is no evidence that Aran'gar was holding saidin at the time darius_sedai - 21/09/2010 07:42:23 PM 1931 Views
Then why did she gasp at the shield? She couldn't have known what Graendal was weaving. fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 07:52:49 PM 1937 Views
because she was surprised that Graendal would put a shield on her in the first place darius_sedai - 21/09/2010 07:58:45 PM 1967 Views
How did she know there was a shield? fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 09:16:59 PM 1927 Views
Fact: Graendal cannot shield a male Forsaken and an Aes Sedai if they are holding the Source... Shannow - 21/09/2010 09:28:17 PM 1904 Views
Who said "they"? fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 09:55:28 PM 1882 Views
Depends on the level of surprise, I guess. If he was only holding a trickle of saidin, then maybe Shannow - 21/09/2010 10:05:37 PM 1958 Views
I don't think strength is the only determinant... fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 10:24:24 PM 1902 Views
I really don't think you have to be holding the source to know you've been shielded Deadsy - 21/09/2010 10:29:20 PM 1847 Views
Provide evidence? fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 10:36:36 PM 1917 Views
Thanks, but like I said, they were both wrapped in air. That's enough for Aran'gar to wonder Deadsy - 21/09/2010 10:44:17 PM 1831 Views

Siuan was distracted by a number of other things going on, not to mention how suspect darius_sedai - 22/09/2010 02:43:36 PM 1797 Views
And Aran'gar was fully focussed on Graendal? fionwe1987 - 22/09/2010 03:02:16 PM 2042 Views
