I agree... Etzel Send a noteboard - 18/01/2010 06:55:33 PM
That Mesaana is most likely an AS and that BS's quote indicates that she found a way to prevent the Oath Rod from working correctly. IMO, she would never let herself be bound. As others suggested, I like the idea best that Mesaana did something so that the Oath Rod actually wasn't touching her hand, e.g. through an invisible glove or some inverted shield.

Mesaana and defeating the Oath Rod Shishka - 18/01/2010 04:50:29 PM 2639 Views
I'm think Mesaana's hand is quicker than the eye Sidious - 18/01/2010 05:12:12 PM 1284 Views

It didn't when Romanda retook her Oaths in TGS darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 07:13:20 PM 845 Views
Hmmm ... Shishka - 18/01/2010 07:24:51 PM 1009 Views
No she unswore them and retook them darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 07:33:30 PM 1059 Views
Yeah, I realized that after I posted, so I editted my post (again) ... Shishka - 18/01/2010 07:36:39 PM 1030 Views
I'm not sure I follow darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 07:41:19 PM 1036 Views
The point I was trying to make was ... Shishka - 18/01/2010 08:05:16 PM 822 Views
Now I get it ... seems needlessly complex for the Oath Rod though darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 08:21:35 PM 818 Views
Yes, this is what I was thinking *NM* PhoenixReborn - 18/01/2010 08:29:20 PM 404 Views
What you suggested is pretty much what I've always thought ... Shishka - 18/01/2010 08:39:30 PM 830 Views
yup darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 09:02:04 PM 719 Views
I'm with you, though ... Shishka - 18/01/2010 09:27:59 PM 988 Views
The closest evidence we have is a Stilled/Burned out woman darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 09:49:41 PM 829 Views
But if being unbound reverts you to your normal lifespan, then being bound isn't really a punishment *NM* PhoenixReborn - 18/01/2010 09:52:29 PM 411 Views
Sure it is darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 10:02:09 PM 865 Views

see above *NM* darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 08:23:28 PM 433 Views
I think it more like aging them faster... PhoenixReborn - 18/01/2010 08:24:56 PM 921 Views
and given how things in the AoL works this seems far more likely darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 08:32:52 PM 885 Views

The Dark Ones Mark possibly could black the oath rod? *NM* Kieran - 20/01/2010 01:28:08 AM 408 Views
No, that can't be it, because when AS become Black Ajah ... Shishka - 20/01/2010 02:53:21 PM 802 Views
But Alviarin's mark is different. Perhaps the mark of a FS is too *NM* darius_sedai - 20/01/2010 04:21:16 PM 378 Views
Good point. I sort of misinterpreted what Kieran was suggesting. *NM* Shishka - 20/01/2010 07:19:02 PM 396 Views
Re: Good point. I sort of misinterpreted what Kieran was suggesting. Kieran - 22/01/2010 01:52:51 AM 974 Views
actually it's different darius_sedai - 22/01/2010 07:32:18 AM 922 Views
actually I think it's the same... Kieran - 23/01/2010 01:49:19 AM 613 Views
Nup. Unlike the FS, her mark will not allow her to order Darkspawn (plus more). *NM* Lord Haart - 23/01/2010 11:50:36 AM 414 Views
Which has nothing to do with my post regarding the Oath rod... *NM* Kieran - 24/01/2010 10:44:59 PM 402 Views
One point... fionwe1987 - 18/01/2010 06:12:26 PM 1001 Views
Good point ... Shishka - 18/01/2010 06:21:22 PM 793 Views

Why not ask somebody else to stand in for you? Artsapat - 19/01/2010 07:55:39 PM 897 Views
I like this idea. *NM* Lord Haart - 20/01/2010 03:11:51 AM 383 Views

Re: Mesaana and defeating the Oath Rod randfandom - 18/01/2010 09:43:34 PM 962 Views
I'm thinking the point of the thread is to discuss how to beat the Oath Rod, not Mesaana's disguise darius_sedai - 18/01/2010 09:59:18 PM 790 Views
Right, and also ... Shishka - 18/01/2010 10:17:11 PM 814 Views
Except that the best way to 'defeat' the Oath rod is - not to take the Oaths at all Lord Haart - 19/01/2010 03:18:43 AM 721 Views
IMHO... Great Lord of Chaos - 19/01/2010 03:41:10 AM 1005 Views
Another interesting possibility Skeeve the Great - 19/01/2010 05:08:42 PM 811 Views
I'd say it was highly unlikely that the Binder/Oath Rod works that way. *NM* Shishka - 19/01/2010 06:06:49 PM 347 Views
We've seen pretty weird stuff happens before Skeeve the Great - 19/01/2010 06:30:12 PM 883 Views

I agree, it seems as if Moghedien just effectively transmigrated Birgitte darius_sedai - 19/01/2010 10:00:45 PM 921 Views
she could just be posing as a non-channeler. badassashaman - 19/01/2010 05:52:01 PM 791 Views

Nice find! Not sure if that is a "way to defeat the Oath Rod" exactly, but it's certainly feasible. Lord Haart - 20/01/2010 03:19:51 AM 978 Views
Wow, that's great. I wonder what else can be created there, like sa'angeals, etc. BlackAdder - 20/01/2010 03:54:01 AM 751 Views
