That's what I've always thought as well. Seriana Sedai Send a noteboard - 29/05/2010 10:06:56 PM
And acted with a suddenness indicative of self-preservation.

It doesn't make sense to me that someone would be waiting to kill him in that pantry on the off chance he might be stopping by. It makes much more sense that someone was up to something and sneaking about, ran into Asmodean, didn't want their plans exposed by someone who recognized him or her and took him out.

I hate to say it, as I love this mystery.... GateKeeper - 27/05/2010 03:01:08 PM 1325 Views
Surely, there can never be enough Asmo threads! *NM* Etzel - 27/05/2010 04:18:06 PM 720 Views
I have a theory on the killer that doesn't involve Slayer... FanEditor10 - 28/05/2010 03:41:23 AM 1127 Views
It's not really obvious... Etzel - 28/05/2010 09:08:27 AM 1064 Views

Smacking & ordering Carridin, yes - but no evidence it killed his kin *NM* newyorkersedai - 29/05/2010 04:40:15 PM 607 Views

The way you twist things, it certainly seems so! fionwe1987 - 27/05/2010 05:07:22 PM 1212 Views
Bah, hogwash! Etzel - 27/05/2010 05:17:37 PM 1081 Views

The point is... Etzel - 28/05/2010 08:38:49 AM 1157 Views
Yes, but Fain is a far cry from your average non-channeler darius_sedai - 28/05/2010 12:01:44 PM 1200 Views
As is Slayer Etzel - 28/05/2010 12:25:07 PM 1063 Views
There is no evidence of this at all darius_sedai - 28/05/2010 12:32:37 PM 1042 Views
Yeah, the evil guys don't manage to harm the good guys Etzel - 28/05/2010 12:38:57 PM 1015 Views
so far we've seen Slayer kill a sleeping guy and his wife darius_sedai - 28/05/2010 12:45:14 PM 1035 Views
I disagree. *NM* Etzel - 28/05/2010 12:50:02 PM 1149 Views
You always twist the quotes to make them say what Jordan didn't intend to say.... DomA - 28/05/2010 02:20:09 PM 1102 Views
I think this is your interpretation Etzel - 28/05/2010 02:50:14 PM 1048 Views

your Slayer theory is ridiculously complex! darius_sedai - 28/05/2010 12:37:08 PM 1093 Views
It just requires to combine some clues from the first 5 books & some common sense Etzel - 28/05/2010 12:44:10 PM 1036 Views
common sense? darius_sedai - 28/05/2010 12:51:25 PM 1051 Views

The main problem with Graendal is... Etzel - 28/05/2010 05:31:09 PM 1042 Views
Graendal has a pretty significant role in TFoH darius_sedai - 28/05/2010 06:54:39 PM 1054 Views
Re: The main problem with Graendal is... DomA - 28/05/2010 09:20:27 PM 1183 Views
my first thought was it was Sammael or Graendal. Come LoC it was clear to me that it was Graendal. darius_sedai - 28/05/2010 09:44:38 PM 1223 Views

Hmmm I wonder about that. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/05/2010 10:58:46 PM 1044 Views
I think it would be impossible for someone to react that quickly darius_sedai - 27/05/2010 11:13:01 PM 1143 Views

Of course you do. Trying to deny it is just silly. Everyone knows your bias. *NM* Tom - 27/05/2010 08:43:18 PM 556 Views
No, seriously, if actually Graendal did it, it's ok to me, too Etzel - 27/05/2010 09:08:48 PM 1094 Views

if there are clues in TFoH I find it hard to believe that Slayer is involved darius_sedai - 28/05/2010 12:29:40 PM 1001 Views

Of course RJ implied that. You should read his quotes about Asmo! *NM* Etzel - 28/05/2010 02:52:32 PM 1059 Views

Sorry, Lanfear did it..... trzaska2000 - 29/05/2010 03:47:44 AM 957 Views
Considering that RJ didn't even necessarily want to reveal it, it was pretty random, yeah. *NM* Etzel - 29/05/2010 08:25:54 AM 623 Views

I think I found an RJ quote that kills the Slayer theory darius_sedai - 29/05/2010 01:57:20 PM 971 Views
If Slayer is actually the killer... Etzel - 29/05/2010 02:20:32 PM 1047 Views
Please, RJ would do as he always had and immediately RAFOd a question like that darius_sedai - 29/05/2010 02:26:10 PM 1012 Views
Well, I don't think so. Etzel - 29/05/2010 02:43:28 PM 1037 Views
yet he never gave an answer like this one darius_sedai - 29/05/2010 02:57:35 PM 1106 Views

If Slayer never met Asmo in the books he could not have killed him darius_sedai - 06/06/2010 12:46:40 PM 905 Views
But Slayer could have met Asmo, when he was killed.. *NM* Etzel - 06/06/2010 01:06:01 PM 963 Views
Directly contradicts what RJ said "they did not meet in the books" darius_sedai - 06/06/2010 02:51:50 PM 918 Views
Not "before" the murder. *NM* Etzel - 06/06/2010 06:03:34 PM 962 Views

You know, there's no direct proof suggesting that Asmo's killer was "surprised"..... trzaska2000 - 01/06/2010 04:04:56 AM 945 Views
That's why I said "I think" and offered my opinion. TaskmasterJack - 01/06/2010 09:46:09 PM 995 Views
except the Author said it was a murder of opportunity darius_sedai - 01/06/2010 11:13:14 PM 981 Views
That is simply false. Etzel - 02/06/2010 10:00:27 AM 1042 Views
RJ stated it was a murder of opportunity ... I never said "only" darius_sedai - 02/06/2010 11:49:23 AM 1092 Views
Of course, it is false Etzel - 02/06/2010 12:13:11 PM 1010 Views
Here are the quotes darius_sedai - 02/06/2010 12:39:29 PM 940 Views
As said, those quotes simply don't support that the murder was basically just an unplanned accident. *NM* Etzel - 02/06/2010 02:14:29 PM 663 Views
I disagree. It's pretty much black and white that the opportunity/timing is the key factor to darius_sedai - 02/06/2010 02:39:03 PM 869 Views
Actually I like it because it fits Slayer better than Graendal, as pointed out. *NM* Etzel - 02/06/2010 02:51:24 PM 517 Views

As I explained you several times, I can see why RJ thought it is obvious, yes... Etzel - 07/06/2010 02:17:01 PM 973 Views

um no it's not darius_sedai - 07/06/2010 04:17:04 PM 978 Views
It's told after that... Etzel - 07/06/2010 04:46:31 PM 943 Views
No it doesn't. It tells us that Rahvin, just like all the others had a side plan in place darius_sedai - 07/06/2010 04:55:43 PM 1092 Views
