well, in the same book about 5 minutes after Lanfear almost kicks Rands ass darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 18/06/2010 08:11:49 PM
Here it is:
, "Is he really so strong?" Rahvin asked quietly. "This Rand al'Thor. Could he have overwhelmed you, face-to-face?" Not that he himself could not, if it came to it, or Sammael, though Graendal would likely link with Lanfear if either of the men tried. For that matter, both women were probably filled to bursting with the Power right that moment, ready to strike at the slightest suspicion of either man. Or of each other. But this farmboy. An untrained shepherd! Untrained unless Asmodean was trying.

"He is Lews Therm Telamon reborn," Lanfear said just as softly, "and Lews Therin was as strong as any."


So, from this quote we could conclude that LTT can easily overwhelmed Lanfear face-to-face. Rahvin saying that even he or Sammael could achive that.

So all these people praising Lanfear - in your face! :D



Rand proves that he's stronger than Rahvin. Lanfear or Graendal would have smeared the floor with Rahvin. In the same scene he thinks the two women were about to start fighting each other and he certainly didn't think about overwhelming either of them in that moment.

No three women could block him from the Source... Logain - 15/06/2010 06:52:17 PM 2029 Views
I think that is total BS, since the books have proved otherwise more than once... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 07:22:16 PM 1107 Views
I think he means that it would take three such women to smother him Sidious - 15/06/2010 07:45:03 PM 1176 Views
Ahhh... I can kind of agree with that... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:05:46 PM 1247 Views
Yes, that is what he meant. Another interesting twist... Logain - 16/06/2010 01:34:18 AM 1218 Views
Agreed. Good analysis. Shannow - 16/06/2010 07:48:36 AM 1192 Views

No, this is before. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:49:13 PM 1034 Views
Well that's a different quote from the one you used before, and this one shows Lanfear not succeedin Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:52:00 PM 1035 Views
I never used a quote before. And there's no quote where Lanfear's shield is not succeeding. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:52:28 PM 911 Views
Simple answer to settle it: Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:00:22 PM 925 Views
So Talaan is God? fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:04:44 PM 1091 Views
It Rand had half Lews Therin's skill at the time, she would stand no chance..SKILL was her advantage Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:08:41 PM 1030 Views
Skill has nothing to do with how strong a person is. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:11:13 PM 1013 Views
So? Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:15:01 PM 1011 Views
Nope, YOU said he was talking about smothering him, whatever that's supposed to mean... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:26:53 PM 967 Views
Oh My God! That's such utter tripe... EDIT... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:30:29 PM 1053 Views
That's exactly how I understood you. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:30:42 PM 898 Views
You do know that this was AFTER Lanfear had picked up the bracelet angreal, right? Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:49:47 PM 1016 Views
It was before... both of them start using an angreal after this. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:52:02 PM 932 Views
Nope. 6 Aes Sedai couldn't take Raolain Darksbane or Yurian Stonebow...Semirhage = 3 Aes Sedai Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:26:21 PM 971 Views
Lanfear can do it alone Sidious - 15/06/2010 08:45:09 PM 982 Views
She ATTEMPTS to cut him off, when he is not at full strength or full training yet... Shannow - 15/06/2010 08:55:39 PM 942 Views
Plus, Rand was splitting his flows, IIRC. Meaning he wasn't 100% one-on-one with her. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 08:57:35 PM 969 Views
She was splitting her flows too... she was slicing his weaves of Air. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:59:00 PM 997 Views
Bah! fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:58:26 PM 974 Views
I repeat: You cannot shield someone unless you are significantly stronger than they are... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:02:55 PM 918 Views
Explain Talaan shielding Nynaeve then. Or the two BA shielding her. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:05:21 PM 1902 Views
It becomes a battle of skill then... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:09:42 PM 1087 Views
BUT... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:12:47 PM 1009 Views
Then by your own definition you do not have to be significantly stronger to shield someone darius_sedai - 15/06/2010 11:28:44 PM 970 Views
Re: "he would have had no need to cut her weaves" Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:03:39 PM 933 Views
No. There's a difference. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:07:09 PM 1111 Views
Oh come on... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 08:48:56 PM 1132 Views
I know you are not that ignorant... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:07:02 PM 915 Views
But that isn't true... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:10:37 PM 959 Views
Let me spell it out for you... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:18:04 PM 964 Views
Re: Let me spell it out for you... Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:21:02 PM 950 Views
Don't put words in my, or Lews Therin's, mouth... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:33:50 PM 1102 Views
??? darius_sedai - 15/06/2010 10:43:28 PM 1112 Views
+1. It ridiculous comparison. Rand even didn't know how to shield a woman. Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:22:22 PM 969 Views
Now that's a ridiculous comparison Sidious - 15/06/2010 09:24:45 PM 1084 Views
Exactly! fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:28:20 PM 1101 Views
Touchy point, heh? Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:28:47 PM 1037 Views
Then how come Lanfear never died? We know she made attempts to capture him. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:31:20 PM 999 Views
Whom? LTT? Can you elaborate? Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 09:33:25 PM 1059 Views
If you wish... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:34:38 PM 809 Views

Re: Okay... Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 10:39:01 PM 976 Views
So, if it doesn't agree with your view, its fuzzy, even when that is what the books say? *NM* fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 10:42:48 PM 570 Views
What? Skeeve the Great - 15/06/2010 10:45:16 PM 921 Views

Sorry for the mixup... BUT... fionwe1987 - 16/06/2010 12:28:31 AM 1033 Views
Hehehe! Classic. Maybe his hands were full of her...err..Globes of Fire... Shannow - 15/06/2010 09:47:35 PM 922 Views
I cannot believe you're so obtuse... or then again, I can. fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:26:04 PM 1057 Views
About how strong you have to be to shield someone... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2010 09:14:31 PM 793 Views
It's like women's tennis. Put the best up against a middling men's tennis player and they lose. *NM* Tom - 16/06/2010 12:18:06 AM 404 Views

Bad analogy... fionwe1987 - 17/06/2010 04:23:31 AM 886 Views
Uh... Sidious - 17/06/2010 09:08:01 AM 924 Views
I disagree. LordPerrin - 16/06/2010 04:03:52 PM 1060 Views
That's wrong. Rand said 2 AS + Moghedien could threaten him Logain - 16/06/2010 05:17:33 PM 1038 Views
Huh. I forgot about that. LordPerrin - 17/06/2010 04:29:38 PM 1124 Views
go back a few posts... Kieran - 17/06/2010 03:41:42 AM 969 Views
yet Nynaeve and Talaan can shield one another darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:57:09 AM 963 Views
I'd like to think Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha could RugbyPlayingAshaman - 17/06/2010 04:19:22 PM 896 Views
Agreed darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 05:59:39 PM 796 Views
I don't think there's any theme Sidious - 17/06/2010 08:25:52 PM 1105 Views
I don't think they are meant to controll him in someway darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 10:21:09 PM 956 Views
They have a separate trinity. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/06/2010 06:51:27 PM 979 Views
They might be able to, but then they are not 3 women of <b>average AS</b> strength Logain - 17/06/2010 07:10:14 PM 954 Views
They would be far more than 3 average AS darius_sedai - 17/06/2010 08:07:30 PM 970 Views
No, that's not right either. Lews Therin Telamon - 18/06/2010 12:37:37 AM 1007 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 06:07:10 AM 1100 Views
Another related quote Skeeve the Great - 18/06/2010 07:49:33 PM 945 Views
well, in the same book about 5 minutes after Lanfear almost kicks Rands ass darius_sedai - 18/06/2010 08:11:49 PM 1003 Views
