Re: Just like Be'lal did? And Lanfear's already learned that lesson the hard way. darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 07/02/2010 01:52:40 AM
Moiraine's like a Mongoose, seems harmless but she hunts snakes for a living. Merean was also stronger than her, but like Lan, Moiraine will fight to the death.


That's a very different thing than being a powerful fighter. She's closer to Moghedien ... sneak attacks. I don't mean to take anything away from her, but she's not in the same class as the FS or the other main characters. In a head to head battle against any of them she's likely lose. Moiraine is by far the best of the AS (with probably exception of Cadsuane)... and to your point is much like Lan in that she would be willing to die in order to win.

Who would win in a fight? (yes, you read that right! ) Yondaime - 04/02/2010 10:38:01 PM 2726 Views
Gawyn. *chokes back the vomit that rushes up his throat* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 04/02/2010 10:53:37 PM 1493 Views

Huh? He was even WORSE in TGS. Lord Haart - 05/02/2010 05:14:16 AM 1268 Views
I dunno. He actaully DID stuff this time Yondaime - 05/02/2010 05:24:48 AM 1337 Views
I agree he was much better than before darius_sedai - 05/02/2010 04:39:33 PM 1220 Views

Perhaps the key is that Gawyn is an even more simplistic thinker than Galad. Lord Haart - 06/02/2010 06:20:06 AM 1220 Views
Again, what? When? Fanatic-Templar - 06/02/2010 08:08:47 AM 1223 Views
Well, the fact that he's had access to one of the best educations in Randland Lord Haart - 06/02/2010 09:22:28 AM 1198 Views
Completely different subjects, and pretty insignificant, really. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 06/02/2010 06:44:35 PM 881 Views
the person to beat Gawyn is Mat imlad - 06/02/2010 06:36:03 AM 1482 Views
Perrin would beat Lan?! *NM* BlackAdder - 06/02/2010 05:52:47 PM 1177 Views

Add Nynaeve and Egwene to the fight, that's something worth seeing then. Lord Haart - 05/02/2010 05:20:53 AM 1384 Views
Egwene would hand Nynaeve her ass darius_sedai - 05/02/2010 04:55:51 PM 1343 Views

I just mentioned it since you said Egwene had more combat experience. Lord Haart - 06/02/2010 06:21:38 AM 1263 Views

That's not what RJ said. He said Nynaeve would be a little hard pressed Skeeve the Great - 05/02/2010 10:18:42 PM 1104 Views
she might be a little hard pressed to pass a test she should pass without thought! darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 05:56:38 PM 994 Views
Moiraine was hard pressed to pass, and she practiced for ages and is the #1 Battle AS. Lord Haart - 06/02/2010 08:27:26 PM 1225 Views
she passed pretty easily IMO darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 09:12:13 PM 1298 Views

Yes, but choosing the time to attack is part of how good a fighter someone is. Lord Haart - 07/02/2010 06:30:55 PM 1156 Views
The test for the Shawl has little to nothing to do with channeling, you know this right? *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 05/02/2010 10:23:16 PM 779 Views

of course it does darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 05:48:41 PM 1277 Views
That's not how it happens in New Spring. Fanatic-Templar - 06/02/2010 07:00:52 PM 1169 Views
that's because Moiraine trained and is relatively skilled (for AS) darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 07:34:05 PM 1266 Views
That's nonsensical. Fanatic-Templar - 06/02/2010 09:02:13 PM 1271 Views
It's what RJ said ... "too much specialization" darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 09:14:38 PM 1181 Views

Yup, plus those were complex weaves that may have required multiple flows. Lord Haart - 06/02/2010 08:30:52 PM 1220 Views
there is nothing to say that multiple weaves are involved. darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 09:16:29 PM 1165 Views

1 Blossom = 1 Weave ... there is nothing to say that each thread requires splitting flows darius_sedai - 06/02/2010 10:48:11 PM 1240 Views
Fine, I used the word weave when I should have used flow. 36 flows to create 12 weaves. *NM* Datakim - 06/02/2010 10:57:09 PM 754 Views
