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 2014 Views
idle speculation != "Intuitivly obvious" Nargs - 22/03/2010 03:01:10 AM 790 Views
The best explanation for the "intuitively obvious"-comment is... Etzel - 22/03/2010 09:41:32 AM 842 Views
So again...how would Slayer know he was in the hallway? Jeordam - 22/03/2010 03:18:51 PM 960 Views
I think Slayer spied on Asmo Etzel - 22/03/2010 03:45:20 PM 672 Views
Fair enough.... Jeordam - 22/03/2010 06:25:25 PM 962 Views
I think... Etzel - 23/03/2010 09:31:41 AM 766 Views
I agree. Slayer is the most intuitively obvious candidate. *NM* Narg - 22/03/2010 06:29:07 PM 323 Views
Slayer....the book4 minor villian? *NM* Jeordam - 22/03/2010 06:34:52 PM 587 Views
Slayer actually was a major villian in TSR. Etzel - 23/03/2010 09:11:39 AM 654 Views
Re: Slayer actually was a major villian in TSR. darius_sedai - 28/03/2010 07:16:59 PM 685 Views
In my view, Graendal might have sent Slayer, which would explain her knowledge. *NM* Etzel - 29/03/2010 09:45:14 AM 711 Views

As far as I'm concerned... Fanatic-Templar - 25/03/2010 06:42:53 AM 673 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 675 Views
Correction... Fanatic-Templar - 25/03/2010 05:22:46 PM 611 Views
So, basically... Etzel - 25/03/2010 05:50:42 PM 645 Views

He wasn't being insulting, I don't think. Fanatic-Templar - 26/03/2010 02:16:26 AM 725 Views
well, RJ was a nuclear engineer. 'Nuff said about obviousness, huh? newyorkersedai - 26/03/2010 04:38:00 AM 752 Views
Apparently... Etzel - 26/03/2010 08:58:32 AM 691 Views

That Basel Gill comparison just silly... Etzel - 29/03/2010 08:49:19 PM 688 Views
Clearly, one of you has proved that Basel Gill is Demandred *NM* newyorkersedai - 29/03/2010 10:12:00 PM 312 Views
I've asked you only one question, repeatedly. Fanatic-Templar - 30/03/2010 12:34:44 AM 700 Views
Yeah, and I repeatedly tried to show you the clues... Etzel - 30/03/2010 09:17:59 AM 651 Views
You have never provided anything even resembling evidence. Fanatic-Templar - 30/03/2010 08:20:54 PM 608 Views

Egwene did it though darius_sedai - 09/04/2010 02:26:10 AM 645 Views
Not before Lord of Chaos she didn't. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2010 08:03:12 AM 651 Views
Rand does it in the end of TFoH, though, shortly before Asmo's death. *NM* Etzel - 09/04/2010 08:34:23 AM 320 Views
But we don't actually see that darius_sedai - 09/04/2010 12:23:37 PM 644 Views
But why would he return to his starting point, makes no sense. Etzel - 09/04/2010 12:44:21 PM 729 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 668 Views
Hmm. True, that. Fanatic-Templar - 09/04/2010 07:28:15 PM 555 Views
I see what you are saying now darius_sedai - 09/04/2010 12:08:00 PM 587 Views

Rand's odd wounds newyorkersedai - 29/03/2010 02:48:58 AM 599 Views
RJ said that special properties of TAR was responsible for the wounds. Etzel - 29/03/2010 09:47:01 AM 597 Views
Who says the Dark One couldn't bring Asmodean back? Why would he want to? Cannoli - 25/03/2010 05:50:55 AM 699 Views
RJ said that. *NM* Etzel - 25/03/2010 09:31:32 AM 588 Views
Do you have that quote handy? darius_sedai - 28/03/2010 07:01:06 PM 614 Views

@Fanatic-Templar: Proof Slayer can't travel through T'A'R... BlackAdder - 31/03/2010 03:54:19 AM 621 Views
Exactly my point. Fanatic-Templar - 31/03/2010 05:02:41 AM 620 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 653 Views
