But she just heard Taim say to basically stand down darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 08/01/2010 06:05:43 PM

They gave up whatever advantage they had as soon as they didn't strike when they felt her embrace the source. She's easily skilled enough to weave 3 deadly flows at once. The men would have been dead before they knew they were being attacked.

The men could have attacked at any time, and Elayne wouldn't have known. She mentions that there are ways to interfere with a man's channeling apart from shielding (which is what I think Lanfear was doing with Rand), but she only knew the theory of it. A pity she never actually learned it.
I agree with your assessment of Egwene's dexterity BTW ... and the rationale for it too

Thanks!


I agree they could just as easily have killed her, but they gave up the advantage when they didn't attack and when Taim sat there and told them not to be stupid, there are only 2 of them (not knowing Renaile was a channeler). Overall this is a bad example of who is more skilled...

I'm more interested in the Flinn-circle vs. Demandred and Verin-circle vs. Graendal ... obviously both of these battles were relatively evenly matched and the Forsaken should have destroyed the others with barely a thought...

Is Rand logical when he estimates female danger? Sidious - 07/01/2010 03:34:05 PM 1504 Views
Basically you have to be ready for anything! darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 03:45:31 PM 860 Views

Miscommunication seems to be a major theme of the series *NM* darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 07:17:16 PM 432 Views
As well as missed opportunities. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/01/2010 09:27:56 PM 789 Views
yes, the Amyrlin story line could have been wrapped up much earlier! darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 09:55:30 PM 902 Views
Yeah, I really wish his vision had been pushed. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/01/2010 10:16:15 PM 726 Views

For a major theme, it sure is surprising Wotmaniac Reborn - 08/01/2010 04:10:22 AM 784 Views

Thanks for pointing to that Taim incident... its another proof... fionwe1987 - 07/01/2010 04:15:33 PM 865 Views
I always like to think that Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha Linked can match Rand. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/01/2010 05:26:35 PM 783 Views
Those three... fionwe1987 - 07/01/2010 05:35:24 PM 757 Views
I think this is probably close darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 07:19:40 PM 909 Views

it's about EFFECTIVE strength Fionwe (jk) darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 10:05:48 PM 679 Views
I don't think they were that bad back then, but still... fionwe1987 - 07/01/2010 10:11:46 PM 784 Views
and he's gone out of his way IMO to show that it's a stupid darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 10:41:03 PM 850 Views
Re: I don't think they were that bad back then, but still... Sidious - 08/01/2010 11:38:48 AM 706 Views
I'd actually go with Elayne in matters of battle. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/01/2010 02:47:34 PM 820 Views
Wow, I wasn't expecting that Sidious - 08/01/2010 02:55:53 PM 892 Views
I'm not too impressed with the Forsaken so far. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/01/2010 03:30:43 PM 708 Views
I'm tempted to go with Taim too, but... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 04:25:52 PM 765 Views
If Elayne had wanted Taim dead, he and his minions would have been dead darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 05:41:29 PM 815 Views
The reverse would be true too, though... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 05:50:02 PM 722 Views
But she just heard Taim say to basically stand down darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 06:05:43 PM 773 Views
But... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 08:53:11 PM 969 Views
Ah but Elayne also knew they knew Rand wouldn't allow it darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 10:40:45 PM 816 Views
That whole lack of communication thing made my eye twitch. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/01/2010 11:00:25 PM 831 Views

I think he is illogical towards all danger, regardless of gender. amirebram - 07/01/2010 06:39:37 PM 724 Views
Do fat kids run marathons? No. And no Rand isn't logical when he estimates female danger. *NM* callandor1000 - 07/01/2010 06:44:08 PM 479 Views
It's all kind of irrelevant. Cannoli - 08/01/2010 11:28:46 PM 985 Views
