Oh, I'd probably die. That's not the important thing. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 20/03/2012 03:08:37 AM

Anyway blah blah blah... this bravado is really tiresome. I wish you were an average channeler and came face to face with Lanfear or Demandred. It would be nice to see all these boasts put to the test....


The point is that they aren't invulnerable demigods or superhuman or anything. And if I encountered them the way Egwene did, in an extremely advantageous setting, with a shit-ton of allies, some of whom claim superior skill in that venue to the Forsaken, PLUS a ta'veren friend wandering in dragging a mcguffin that prevents my enemy from retreating... Yeah, I'd pretty much EXPECT a victory, and be mortified if I couldn't pull one off.

Egwene has had months of training in T'A'R from the best experts in the world, and has an innate Talent for using the place. Contrast that to Rand who took on a Forsaken with superior knowledge and training in T'A'R and was able to win, with only a single allied distraction, and no super-camouflaged Wise Ones or getting minions killed (it's an "atrocity" when Elayne loses cannon fodder, but when Egwene loses some of your so-precious channelers in battle, she's a great hero? ), or dreamspikes to trap Rahvin.

I disagree on number three don't think it's broad enough - 17/03/2012 02:53:08 PM 557 Views
I wonder if it was advertised though? - 17/03/2012 04:25:23 PM 630 Views
I very much doubt it - 17/03/2012 04:48:56 PM 541 Views

It's funny because I don't think the Forsaken have proven particularly effective either - 17/03/2012 07:47:58 PM 576 Views
I think they've been pretty effective - 19/03/2012 10:46:11 AM 567 Views
Yet they have done very little to move the grand plan forward - 19/03/2012 11:51:59 PM 529 Views
What plan? - 20/03/2012 08:18:40 AM 751 Views
