Slayer also hunts Rand Etzel Send a noteboard - 28/12/2009 03:57:11 PM
like Asmo was one


Yet the Dark One indicated that it would have rather captured his soul for punishment and possible transmigration, which argues against his capability to defeat any channeler.

I think Slayer hunts weaker traitors and non-channelers.


Even after Slayer fails to kill Rand in Far Madding, because Rand already left his rooms, Slayer doesn't hesitate to offer his patron to try it again, not knowing if Rand is even still in Far Madding. Besides that, Slayer also tries to kill another channeler, namely Nynaeve, with his bow in TSR. This shows that Slayer doesn't hesitate at all to attack channelers.

And since even Min - who isn't a Top Assassin of the Shadow - manages to wound Semirhage twice with her knife, nothing suggests that Slayer wouldn't be able to kill Asmo, if he surprised him and maybe used a quick & deadly weapon like a crossbow with a poisoned bolt (RJ also said that Fain would have been able to kill Asmo, if he had been there). Finally, BS said that there was more about Slayer's powers in a deleted scene in TSR. This powers might have helped him to kill Asmo.

Fain's Myrddraal Etzel - 28/12/2009 01:45:58 PM 1861 Views
Nope, Myrddraal have been nothing but cannon fodder since book four *NM* Lordling - 28/12/2009 03:01:01 PM 449 Views
except, of course, for Shaidar Haran *NM* darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 03:12:17 PM 458 Views
But what was the purpose then? Etzel - 28/12/2009 03:43:01 PM 835 Views
To show the relationship between Fain and DO Bonden - 28/12/2009 03:52:59 PM 790 Views

I think it's possible that Slayer could have killed Asmo darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 04:35:57 PM 757 Views
The explanations Etzel - 28/12/2009 05:06:02 PM 1017 Views
Perhaps, I still don't buy it, but if that's the way it turns out I won't be shocked darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 05:20:06 PM 941 Views
Your reaction would be similar to BS's then Etzel - 28/12/2009 05:57:44 PM 1888 Views
I don't really have a strong opinion on which suspect did it darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 06:03:07 PM 755 Views
Well... Etzel - 28/12/2009 06:42:16 PM 811 Views
Indeed *NM* darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 06:55:52 PM 405 Views

Re: The case for Graendal was already weak before TGS... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/12/2009 10:19:24 PM 859 Views
The reason is... Etzel - 29/12/2009 11:58:24 AM 837 Views
The reasoning is very weak. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 03:34:19 PM 834 Views
If you mean... Etzel - 29/12/2009 04:01:25 PM 908 Views
A few points darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 04:14:12 PM 764 Views
You are wrong... Etzel - 29/12/2009 04:25:09 PM 746 Views
Thanks for the quote .. obviously hadn't heard that one before! darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 04:31:37 PM 858 Views
Key word - "possibly" RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 04:38:46 PM 767 Views
As said, if you just compare it to Alviarin's mark, it's clear. Etzel - 29/12/2009 05:06:47 PM 733 Views
Re: As said, if you just compare it to Alviarin's mark, it's clear. darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 06:08:09 PM 660 Views
Well, it protects you of Shadowspawn, not that bad. Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:12:04 PM 741 Views
I don't think what happened to Fain or Slayer are "gifts" darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 06:26:15 PM 665 Views
Slayer calls it "gifts" in his PoV Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:37:49 PM 709 Views
I think you are stretching the reality a bit darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 06:42:10 PM 748 Views
You confuse it a bit... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:57:07 PM 812 Views
I think you've got it backwards darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 07:12:02 PM 709 Views
However... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:16:08 PM 750 Views
I wasn't arguing that point darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 08:13:25 PM 970 Views
Some things don't have to be spelled out, if they are that clear... *NM* Etzel - 29/12/2009 08:18:05 PM 706 Views
clearly they do since people are discussing it! darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 09:37:00 PM 688 Views
Yes; it is not readily apparant that the mark was made with the TP. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 06:12:07 PM 749 Views
Sorry, but that is utter nonsense Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:24:54 PM 841 Views
You are incorrect; I'm actually thinking that you only skimmed certain sections! RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 06:38:37 PM 798 Views
Simply read the books and what the authors said... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:55:42 PM 752 Views
Sorry, I think you have an opinion and read everything to support it in this case. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:02:42 PM 722 Views
Ok, then we play dumb, if you like... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:14:58 PM 832 Views
Because the Dark One is not merely a super channeler. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:21:21 PM 854 Views
Well, I disagree of course... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:36:19 PM 969 Views
You are mistaken on quite a few counts. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 04:37:51 PM 912 Views
Actually... Etzel - 29/12/2009 05:04:54 PM 814 Views
BWB says... darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 05:48:40 PM 1056 Views
Exactly. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 06:12:30 PM 376 Views
Well... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:18:08 PM 860 Views
Just pointing out that your comment about Lanfear and Moggy not being assassins darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 06:37:21 PM 760 Views
No... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:47:07 PM 955 Views
Re: No... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:00:20 PM 926 Views
Again... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:10:12 PM 687 Views
So you dismiss the actual assassinations the Forsaken have performed on-screen? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:26:55 PM 722 Views
Again... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:47:57 PM 658 Views
I think any Forsaken is capable of doing it. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 08:05:10 PM 756 Views
Then another Forsaken, e.g. Sammael.. Etzel - 29/12/2009 08:16:50 PM 634 Views
Re: Then another Forsaken, e.g. Sammael.. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 09:21:23 PM 730 Views
She kidnapped the Sharan's ... who's to say she hasn't killed others? *NM* darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 08:17:28 PM 386 Views
Yeah, after TFoH! We are looking for clues before LoC, guys! *sigh* Etzel - 29/12/2009 08:31:13 PM 607 Views
Where did I say this was a clue to her doing it? darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 09:58:29 PM 847 Views
I don't say... Etzel - 30/12/2009 12:08:27 PM 910 Views
Most of what you are talking about with Slayer is discoverd after LoC darius_sedai - 30/12/2009 02:36:18 PM 818 Views
Re: Well... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 06:41:29 PM 734 Views
It becomes clear... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:59:03 PM 665 Views
Basically, you think Slayer killed him. I do not. Nor do I care. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:04:20 PM 642 Views
Fair enough. *NM* Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:17:22 PM 438 Views

It's rather the TP, which makes Slayer inhuman... Etzel - 28/12/2009 08:21:20 PM 706 Views

Fain's Myrddraal killed asmo LOL *NM* aldapelan - 29/12/2009 05:26:22 AM 442 Views
It is quite obvious that it was Mistress Laras. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 03:35:36 PM 403 Views
Intuitively, even. *NM* Gher - 29/12/2009 06:03:13 PM 401 Views
