"They had not known where-or if-the gholam would attack him" rAndy aL Send a noteboard - 25/12/2010 12:27:02 AM
The problem is that the place for this ambush was no pre-planned
Um, yes it was.

They had not known where—or if—the gholam would attack him, but Guybon had done his job well, getting everyone out of the nearby buildings, then picking a hallway that the Kinswoman would make the gateway into. He'd sent a member of the Band to tell Talmanes where to go.


Er... That means that Guybon had been tracking Mat and quickly picked and prepared a place for the gateway while the attack was happening. That is not enough time to learn a place for a gateway (even holding the power). This is what I meant when I said it was not pre-planned. I mean, it's not like Guybon could have prepared an ambush in every street of the entire city, instead he managed to do it right next to where the gholam attacked.

Yes, RJ confirmed that Shadowspawn can't survive gateways. *NM* Lord Haart - 24/12/2010 07:39:02 PM 499 Views
And then BS confirmed that gholam are "more perfected" Shadowspawn which can. *NM* moratcorlm - 24/12/2010 08:35:34 PM 499 Views
Read the post I responded too. I know that. Lord Haart - 26/12/2010 11:58:40 AM 1051 Views
Why would them not being able to survive a gateway be a problem? DREWRULESWOT! - 26/01/2011 05:36:09 AM 863 Views

They prepared a place, and it just happened to be within walking distance of the attack? rAndy aL - 25/12/2010 09:44:34 AM 954 Views
Please re-read the chapter. It expalins a lot. Skeeve the Great - 25/12/2010 04:05:50 PM 1035 Views
Your quote shows what happened. rAndy aL - 26/12/2010 05:33:44 AM 934 Views
Likely picked from a handful of pre-determined locations based on where and when the attack occurred darius_sedai - 31/12/2010 08:47:20 PM 1005 Views
Perhaps, but I don't think so. ˥ɐ ʎpu∀ɹ - 01/01/2011 01:19:12 AM 831 Views
Not realty. Caemlyn is huge by the standards of the time but realistically it's tiny darius_sedai - 01/01/2011 06:05:06 AM 876 Views
The sizes I proposed are not huge (well, they would be by standards in the middle ages but not now) ˥ɐ ʎpu∀ɹ - 04/01/2011 06:37:50 AM 805 Views
I believe Caemlyn is less than 300k people .... That's what .05% the size of London? darius_sedai - 30/01/2011 06:02:50 PM 857 Views
You aren't seriously comparing modern population densities to medieval ones, are you? *NM* Ghavrel - 30/01/2011 09:23:57 PM 470 Views
Of course not darius_sedai - 30/01/2011 09:30:47 PM 880 Views
That would be an error if it hadn't been Skimming (the platform and what not) they were using. Chas - 25/12/2010 02:29:39 AM 910 Views
It is an error because they opened a skimming gateway to the house (from the skimming place) rAndy aL - 25/12/2010 09:47:08 AM 923 Views

I'm confused now as to what you're arguing. They knew the location of the house. Chas - 26/12/2010 08:54:17 PM 893 Views
You need to know more than just where you are going rAndy aL - 27/12/2010 06:59:21 AM 917 Views
Please find me a supporting quote in one of the books. Chas - 27/12/2010 12:48:45 PM 927 Views

Well, from Encyclopaedia WOT, and aCoS rAndy aL - 28/12/2010 01:02:42 AM 1027 Views
I stand corrected. Though I will say that the uses in the books don't match the definition. Chas - 28/12/2010 02:17:43 PM 978 Views
Not that hard if you think about it darius_sedai - 30/01/2011 09:39:34 PM 960 Views
