Of your list, I liked

- Graendal shields Aran'gar and escapes Rand
This was a fun surprise in that it actually happened. It doesnt surprise me though that a forsaken would do that to another.

- Moghedien balefires Nynaeve's boat
wasnt a big nyneave fan and so i heartilly shook moggy's hand after she did this and cheered her on. She kicked nyneave's trash in this scene. it was great.

- Asmodean fights Rand with the Choedan Kal
Asmodean definately lost but it was a cool moment and fun to read. Rand was lucky taveren was on his side.
