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 1864 Views
Nope, Myrddraal have been nothing but cannon fodder since book four *NM* Lordling - 28/12/2009 03:01:01 PM 450 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 836 Views
To show the relationship between Fain and DO Bonden - 28/12/2009 03:52:59 PM 792 Views

I think it's possible that Slayer could have killed Asmo darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 04:35:57 PM 759 Views
The explanations Etzel - 28/12/2009 05:06:02 PM 1019 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 1890 Views
I don't really have a strong opinion on which suspect did it darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 06:03:07 PM 759 Views
Well... Etzel - 28/12/2009 06:42:16 PM 813 Views
Indeed *NM* darius_sedai - 28/12/2009 06:55:52 PM 406 Views

Re: The case for Graendal was already weak before TGS... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/12/2009 10:19:24 PM 862 Views
The reason is... Etzel - 29/12/2009 11:58:24 AM 840 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 910 Views
A few points darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 04:14:12 PM 767 Views
You are wrong... Etzel - 29/12/2009 04:25:09 PM 749 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 768 Views
As said, if you just compare it to Alviarin's mark, it's clear. Etzel - 29/12/2009 05:06:47 PM 735 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 662 Views
Well, it protects you of Shadowspawn, not that bad. Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:12:04 PM 743 Views
I don't think what happened to Fain or Slayer are "gifts" darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 06:26:15 PM 667 Views
Slayer calls it "gifts" in his PoV Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:37:49 PM 711 Views
I think you are stretching the reality a bit darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 06:42:10 PM 750 Views
You confuse it a bit... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:57:07 PM 813 Views
I think you've got it backwards darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 07:12:02 PM 711 Views
However... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:16:08 PM 752 Views
I wasn't arguing that point darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 08:13:25 PM 973 Views
Some things don't have to be spelled out, if they are that clear... *NM* Etzel - 29/12/2009 08:18:05 PM 709 Views
clearly they do since people are discussing it! darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 09:37:00 PM 691 Views
Yes; it is not readily apparant that the mark was made with the TP. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 06:12:07 PM 752 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 801 Views
Simply read the books and what the authors said... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:55:42 PM 754 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 724 Views
Ok, then we play dumb, if you like... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:14:58 PM 833 Views
Because the Dark One is not merely a super channeler. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:21:21 PM 857 Views
Well, I disagree of course... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:36:19 PM 971 Views
You are mistaken on quite a few counts. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 04:37:51 PM 914 Views
Actually... Etzel - 29/12/2009 05:04:54 PM 815 Views
BWB says... darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 05:48:40 PM 1058 Views
Exactly. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 06:12:30 PM 377 Views
Well... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:18:08 PM 863 Views
Just pointing out that your comment about Lanfear and Moggy not being assassins darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 06:37:21 PM 762 Views
No... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:47:07 PM 957 Views
Re: No... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:00:20 PM 929 Views
Again... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:10:12 PM 689 Views
So you dismiss the actual assassinations the Forsaken have performed on-screen? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:26:55 PM 724 Views
Again... Etzel - 29/12/2009 07:47:57 PM 659 Views
I think any Forsaken is capable of doing it. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 08:05:10 PM 758 Views
Then another Forsaken, e.g. Sammael.. Etzel - 29/12/2009 08:16:50 PM 637 Views
Re: Then another Forsaken, e.g. Sammael.. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 09:21:23 PM 732 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 610 Views
Where did I say this was a clue to her doing it? darius_sedai - 29/12/2009 09:58:29 PM 850 Views
I don't say... Etzel - 30/12/2009 12:08:27 PM 913 Views
Most of what you are talking about with Slayer is discoverd after LoC darius_sedai - 30/12/2009 02:36:18 PM 820 Views
Re: Well... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 06:41:29 PM 736 Views
It becomes clear... Etzel - 29/12/2009 06:59:03 PM 667 Views
Basically, you think Slayer killed him. I do not. Nor do I care. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 29/12/2009 07:04:20 PM 645 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 708 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 404 Views
Intuitively, even. *NM* Gher - 29/12/2009 06:03:13 PM 402 Views
