I don't want to just pick on fionwe1987, but the incivility lately on this board is getting worse, I think.

It is easy to get worked up about small things. I do that all the time. I have posted stuff that I wish I hadn't in the heat of the moment.

Getting back to the topic. I do think that Graendal can be both bold and over cautious. Given the right circumstance Graendal would take out anyone. We saw her boldness when she took out Cyndane and Moghedien simultaneously for instance.

If I recall correctly RJ once gave a list of the Forsaken who were the best survivors and the nastiest because of it. Graendal and Ishy were definitely on that list and so was Samaael. Baalthamel was not on that list. A'ran'gar was a second rate forsaken who likely wasn't prepared for what Graendal did. Plus, lets face it Graendal panicked then attacked and probably got more then a little bit lucky. But luck often goes to the bold.
