Actually that's one of my hang-ups about Slayer too darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 06/04/2010 02:27:22 PM
someone would have had to send him ... which we cannot know prior to the events of LOC is part of how things work with Slayer. His involvement adds another layer to the mystery

such as:

1. how would anyone know where to find Asmo in the first place? The crime is way too opportunistic for to have been planned out.

2. why would any of the FS bother to send Slayer after Asmo? There is no gain in it for them to kill him off via the use of Slayer. Sure seeing him dead would be good for them, but ultimately it seems like a lot of work just to kill him off.

3. RJ foreshadowed it being one of the FS earlier in the book when Asmo tells Rand that any of the FS "would kill him on sight"

Slayer as the killer feels like a red herring to me ... seems obvious at first, but once you do even the smallest digging the whole house of cards collapses.

Intuitively obvious, my dear Watson newyorkersedai - 22/03/2010 01:53:54 AM 2087 Views
idle speculation != "Intuitivly obvious" Nargs - 22/03/2010 03:01:10 AM 873 Views
The best explanation for the "intuitively obvious"-comment is... Etzel - 22/03/2010 09:41:32 AM 912 Views
So again...how would Slayer know he was in the hallway? Jeordam - 22/03/2010 03:18:51 PM 1024 Views
I think Slayer spied on Asmo Etzel - 22/03/2010 03:45:20 PM 766 Views
Fair enough.... Jeordam - 22/03/2010 06:25:25 PM 1021 Views
I think... Etzel - 23/03/2010 09:31:41 AM 865 Views
I agree. Slayer is the most intuitively obvious candidate. *NM* Narg - 22/03/2010 06:29:07 PM 372 Views
Slayer....the book4 minor villian? *NM* Jeordam - 22/03/2010 06:34:52 PM 621 Views
Slayer actually was a major villian in TSR. Etzel - 23/03/2010 09:11:39 AM 735 Views
Re: Slayer actually was a major villian in TSR. darius_sedai - 28/03/2010 07:16:59 PM 786 Views
In my view, Graendal might have sent Slayer, which would explain her knowledge. *NM* Etzel - 29/03/2010 09:45:14 AM 786 Views

As far as I'm concerned... Fanatic-Templar - 25/03/2010 06:42:53 AM 751 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 756 Views
Correction... Fanatic-Templar - 25/03/2010 05:22:46 PM 672 Views
So, basically... Etzel - 25/03/2010 05:50:42 PM 727 Views

He wasn't being insulting, I don't think. Fanatic-Templar - 26/03/2010 02:16:26 AM 815 Views
well, RJ was a nuclear engineer. 'Nuff said about obviousness, huh? newyorkersedai - 26/03/2010 04:38:00 AM 841 Views
Apparently... Etzel - 26/03/2010 08:58:32 AM 772 Views
No it isn't. Fanatic-Templar - 26/03/2010 05:43:02 PM 733 Views

That Basel Gill comparison just silly... Etzel - 29/03/2010 08:49:19 PM 769 Views
Clearly, one of you has proved that Basel Gill is Demandred *NM* newyorkersedai - 29/03/2010 10:12:00 PM 355 Views
I've asked you only one question, repeatedly. Fanatic-Templar - 30/03/2010 12:34:44 AM 778 Views
Yeah, and I repeatedly tried to show you the clues... Etzel - 30/03/2010 09:17:59 AM 729 Views
You have never provided anything even resembling evidence. Fanatic-Templar - 30/03/2010 08:20:54 PM 691 Views

Egwene did it though darius_sedai - 09/04/2010 02:26:10 AM 726 Views
Not before Lord of Chaos she didn't. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2010 08:03:12 AM 740 Views
Rand does it in the end of TFoH, though, shortly before Asmo's death. *NM* Etzel - 09/04/2010 08:34:23 AM 373 Views
But we don't actually see that darius_sedai - 09/04/2010 12:23:37 PM 725 Views
But why would he return to his starting point, makes no sense. Etzel - 09/04/2010 12:44:21 PM 812 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 755 Views
Hmm. True, that. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2010 07:28:15 PM 647 Views
I see what you are saying now darius_sedai - 09/04/2010 12:08:00 PM 659 Views

Rand's odd wounds newyorkersedai - 29/03/2010 02:48:58 AM 676 Views
RJ said that special properties of TAR was responsible for the wounds. Etzel - 29/03/2010 09:47:01 AM 668 Views
Who says the Dark One couldn't bring Asmodean back? Why would he want to? Cannoli - 25/03/2010 05:50:55 AM 779 Views
RJ said that. *NM* Etzel - 25/03/2010 09:31:32 AM 681 Views
Do you have that quote handy? darius_sedai - 28/03/2010 07:01:06 PM 691 Views
From memory, but can't find the URL newyorkersedai - 28/03/2010 08:09:29 PM 692 Views

@Fanatic-Templar: Proof Slayer can't travel through T'A'R... BlackAdder - 31/03/2010 03:54:19 AM 715 Views
Exactly my point. Fanatic-Templar - 31/03/2010 05:02:41 AM 706 Views
Maybe none of it matters anyway, Slayer will go down like a punk and I know how it goes newyorkersedai - 31/03/2010 05:56:46 AM 732 Views
