Re: A question on balefire/2 servants TaskmasterJack Send a noteboard - 24/03/2010 05:03:32 PM
Brilliant theory (Bob's), and you put a nice point on it.

But I have one question about the hallway.

Rand killed Rahvin with Balefire. Enough balefire to remove everything Rahvin did for some time (like killing Mat). Even effects on objects gets removed (like the Darkhound's on Mats door when Rand BF'ed them).

Rand ducked Rahvin's balefire in the hallway. When Rand kills Rahvin, the damage to the hallway should be gone, since it happened after Mat was killed. But it isn't. Which seems impossible to me.

The balefire damage must be Rand's, since it is still there. Rahvin's would be gone. And Rand didn't duck his own balefire.

Ergo, 3 and 7 aren't in the same place.Which doesn't necessarily disprove any part of the theory, just the map.

Seems intuitively obvious to me, unless I am misremembering the Rahvin encounter, or the balefire rules.


As I understand balefire rules, balefire cannot undo balefire. So no matter how hard you balefire someone, you can't undo the damage they've done with balefire, even if you can undo the non-balefire damage they've done.

Intuitively obvious, my dear Watson newyorkersedai - 22/03/2010 01:53:54 AM 1844 Views
idle speculation != "Intuitivly obvious" Nargs - 22/03/2010 03:01:10 AM 644 Views
The best explanation for the "intuitively obvious"-comment is... Etzel - 22/03/2010 09:41:32 AM 659 Views
So again...how would Slayer know he was in the hallway? Jeordam - 22/03/2010 03:18:51 PM 666 Views
I think Slayer spied on Asmo Etzel - 22/03/2010 03:45:20 PM 522 Views
Fair enough.... Jeordam - 22/03/2010 06:25:25 PM 700 Views
I think... Etzel - 23/03/2010 09:31:41 AM 589 Views
I agree. Slayer is the most intuitively obvious candidate. *NM* Narg - 22/03/2010 06:29:07 PM 244 Views
Slayer....the book4 minor villian? *NM* Jeordam - 22/03/2010 06:34:52 PM 390 Views
Slayer actually was a major villian in TSR. Etzel - 23/03/2010 09:11:39 AM 485 Views
Re: Slayer actually was a major villian in TSR. darius_sedai - 28/03/2010 07:16:59 PM 516 Views
In my view, Graendal might have sent Slayer, which would explain her knowledge. *NM* Etzel - 29/03/2010 09:45:14 AM 516 Views
Actually that's one of my hang-ups about Slayer too darius_sedai - 06/04/2010 02:27:22 PM 499 Views
As far as I'm concerned... Fanatic-Templar - 25/03/2010 06:42:53 AM 510 Views
The problem is that people don't read the books or at least ignore what is said about Slayer... Etzel - 25/03/2010 09:41:09 AM 504 Views
Correction... Fanatic-Templar - 25/03/2010 05:22:46 PM 455 Views
So, basically... Etzel - 25/03/2010 05:50:42 PM 489 Views

That Basel Gill comparison just silly... Etzel - 29/03/2010 08:49:19 PM 522 Views
Clearly, one of you has proved that Basel Gill is Demandred *NM* newyorkersedai - 29/03/2010 10:12:00 PM 250 Views
I've asked you only one question, repeatedly. Fanatic-Templar - 30/03/2010 12:34:44 AM 555 Views
Yeah, and I repeatedly tried to show you the clues... Etzel - 30/03/2010 09:17:59 AM 483 Views
You have never provided anything even resembling evidence. Fanatic-Templar - 30/03/2010 08:20:54 PM 452 Views

Egwene did it though darius_sedai - 09/04/2010 02:26:10 AM 492 Views
Not before Lord of Chaos she didn't. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2010 08:03:12 AM 473 Views
Rand does it in the end of TFoH, though, shortly before Asmo's death. *NM* Etzel - 09/04/2010 08:34:23 AM 241 Views
But we don't actually see that darius_sedai - 09/04/2010 12:23:37 PM 468 Views
But why would he return to his starting point, makes no sense. Etzel - 09/04/2010 12:44:21 PM 499 Views
by your argument Rand should have re-entered the waking world outside to join that battle darius_sedai - 09/04/2010 07:58:26 PM 484 Views
Hmm. True, that. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2010 07:28:15 PM 423 Views
I see what you are saying now darius_sedai - 09/04/2010 12:08:00 PM 421 Views

Rand's odd wounds newyorkersedai - 29/03/2010 02:48:58 AM 441 Views
RJ said that special properties of TAR was responsible for the wounds. Etzel - 29/03/2010 09:47:01 AM 450 Views
Who says the Dark One couldn't bring Asmodean back? Why would he want to? Cannoli - 25/03/2010 05:50:55 AM 531 Views
RJ said that. *NM* Etzel - 25/03/2010 09:31:32 AM 428 Views
Do you have that quote handy? darius_sedai - 28/03/2010 07:01:06 PM 463 Views
