Gancho Libre talks to Waxillium (And anyone else who wants to contribute)

[Gancho Libre he/him]

don't worry, admins, I've asked him/her first. I just wanna ask @WaxWithTheBandsOfMourning a couple questions because of their names.

so, Wax, who do you think will win:

Wax v. Kelsier

A. with the bands of mourning) B. Without the bands of mourning

@Gancho Libre, that is a great question. Below are my immediate thoughts.

A. It depends.  Are we fighting in an arena or are there other people or things around?  Do you by any chance make an extremely convoluted, unbelievable threat against innocent people?

B. I think I would give Kelsier a run for his money, but ultimately, he is a mistborn and I'm only a twinborn.  So, he would probably beat me in a prolonged fight.  I would need to find a way to surprise him in order to win.

either way. what do you think would happen, with the bands of mourning, you went against Kelsier one on one, or around a crowd of people when kelsier gives you a flimsy threat?

what do you think?

[WaxWithTheBandsOfMourning]

I think if it was just me against Kelsier and I had the bands of mourning, I would win.  I mean, I would be holding more power than any mortal (other than the Lord Ruler) had ever held as far as we know (including Kelsier's brief holding of Preservation's power) (honorably mention also given to Hoid).  I would have all mistborn powers plus.  Although I am less practiced than Kelsier, I'm sure I could beat him with the power of a God. 

However, if Keslier were to make some far-fetched threat against someone else, I suppose my only option would be to throw the bands out the window.  I would do my best to try to sit on him and/or punch him.  I'm not sure my chances of success would be great.  But what choice would I really have?  I mean, there was a flimsy threat after all!

[Gancho Libre he/him]

That response is very fair in my opinion. Lets move to another character.

Who would win:

Wax (with the bands of mourning) v. Spook (Well of ascension)

what are your thoughts?

[WaxWithTheBandsOfMourning]

Don't make me laugh.  If I was fighting Spook all alone in an arena or something, he wouldn't last very long.  Again, I have the bands of mourning and he only was only a tineye at the time.  

Then again, if there were people around that I cared about and he came up with a convoluted threat off the top of his head, I'd have no choice but to toss the bands out the window and try to sit on him.  Spook wasn't much of a fighter during book 2, so I think I'd have a pretty good chance of catching him and pinning him down.  If he ran away, I guess I'd need to settle for a draw.

I'm moving this to Mistborn. General Discussion is not the correct location for Brandon related discussion.

[Gancho Libre he/him]

Your responses are very fair, Wax. however, This next one deserves your full honesty.

Wax( with the bands) v. Tonk Fah.

[WaxWithTheBandsOfMourning]

Again, it depends.  But if Tonk Fah told me that back at his lair he had an undead monkey with a pocket knife and instructions to hunt down and assassinate my friends one at a time in a slow and painful manner if Tonk Fah didn't return to him in the next 30 minutes, I would have no choice, but to toss the bands of mourning out the window.

Alrighty. Here's a curveball:

@Gancho Libre, I had to edit your post because Oathbringer content should only appear in Cosmere Discussion and the Oathbringer Spoiler Board.
