Re: Yeah nossy Send a noteboard - 01/10/2009 10:40:28 PM
I still don't understand how idiotic Semirhage could be to think that this plan could actually work. I mean besides several Forsaken already being killed by the Lightside, Rand & Co. just managed to give almost all Forsaken a sound defeat at the Cleansing (and two of their strongest, Rand & Nynaeve, didn't even participate in the battle). It's clear that Rand has super strong *angreal, he has female & male channelers to make circles and military elite troops. Nevertheless Semirhage apparently thinks that she can take Rand and his group by just bringing 6 common sul'dam & damane, who aren't even prepared to fight the Dragon Reborn. It seems that Semirhage somehow wanted to collar the whole group via a'dam. However, the a'dam are in some box in a house nearby, not even at hand. Then after she is discovered, Semirhage has no troops to support her in an emergency case, like Rand has of course. Instead of fleeing, she just throws a puny fireball at Rand and lets herself be captured. Moron..

I still think that Plan B was to let herself be captured. That could just be me wanting to give Semirhage the benefit of the doubt though. If her character turns out to be that silly, I'm not happy. She was so awesomely creepy as a name in the shadows.

Capture makes sense though, given that her first act was to scare the wits out of Rand and co. with the madness talk. And that she has some degree of confidence that they won't kill her straight off and that she may be able to sow fear and then escape.
