You know that hitting someone hard enough to knock them out can cause a traumatic brain injury, right? Or kill them, if you do it wrong? Leshwi is a scholar; I’d think she’d know basic physics and anatomy...

Zola considered that for a moment. "But I'm being responsible!"

That stopped Ledashwy. She blinked. "You're right." She felt shocked. "I am being an idiot! Why am I being so irrational?"

"Eryn said it was shock."

"Eryn said it was shock."

She nodded, feeling dazed. "I hadn't hurt anyone in my life, until I killed that man. I... I couldn't quite process it. I'm still having trouble processing it." She sighed.

Zola nodded in sympathy. "I get it. But right now, I think you shouldn't go seeking another fight."

Sorry about that, didn't have access for a few days. 

I hope Meens sends more people next time  

Marie watched the fight with a strange mixture of anger and excitement roiling within. She wanted to be there, killing, breaking, Ruining, exulting. She'd tried lunging toward the battle once it had begun, no thought in her head but A fight!, but her body was relentlessly unmoving. She whirled on Adilie and bared her teeth in a grin. "Looks like we've been betrayed. I don't suppose you'd like some help?"

Marie could probably kill the three people Eryn said ran off. They kind of disappeared.

And as a complete aside, Hemalurgy is a great method of killing a gold compounder.

As of this second, Marie can't hurt anyone, so if Mat changes that, I could go after them. Or maybe they're still in the room or a nearby tunnel, regrouping after the gold Compounder died? Do we know what Investiture they had?

Sorry, I'm back. I've just skimmed through the last pages though so I might do incoherent things

"I agree, go stop them" Marie was still under the previous order of not killing people so there would probably be something left to interrogate afterward "I'll help the other with Raven"

With Drae's help it was possible she would just need to tap and not to compound

This supersedes the not hurting people, correct?

It was "don't hurt people unless I tell you so" so yes. The "don't kill anyone" was absolute so Adiline shouldn't be able to change it without compounding

 

[Kingsdaughter613 she/her]

Just to note: You guys are in the past. Here’s a recap of the rest of the fight.

Eryn killed the Steelrunner and KanPaar tackled the compounder.

Then KanPaar and Eryn held down the compounder and Ledashwi killed him with a hemalurgic spike.

After, Eryn took Drae to try and free Raven from being mind controlled. Ledashwi stayed behind to recover from shock, watched by Zola.

It's KePuur, not KanPaar.

Excellent. We have two men and a woman left, Investiture not stated, and as Unknown said we were free to RP them, I'm going to give them the Investiture of Coinshot, Lurcher/Skimmer, and Spinner/Pewterarm respectively. Give me a moment to write up a fight scene.

Pretty sure she's just referencing the " I wanna die but X so I got that going for me which is nice" meme. Worth asking though

I don’t know if any such meme. Good to know about. As a therapist-in-training I’m sort of primed to jump on things like this because any time someone mentions wanting to die it’s a big deal, as we’re ethically obligated to intervene.

Eryn laughed. “Soother and rioter control spiked ones. Meens spike this one to control. Need you to BREAK control. Set this one free. Learn about Meens.”

Drae nodded and upped his soothing, his delved deep into his swallowed reserve and burned more brass, faster. He was holding more power than he had dared hold before, his pushed through his mind's boundaries as memories pressed to recede recede them. He was not powerful, he was not special, Drae always ended up losing. Drae always ended up alone. All he wanted in the world was for his past to leave him alone, but his memories played before him. So he pushed harder and burned more, more.  BrEAk ConTrOL. He felt a pang of remorse for all the brass he was using up, but it dissipated like the morning fog when suddenly, his intent became clear; his wild soothing focused to a point and he seized control. 

Drae blinked, startled as his push soared through the invisible barrier. His eyes lolled about unfocused, but he didn't stop pushing. The now undirected push burst out like a bomb across the room. He whipped his head around frantically looking for directions I don't know what to do. A single tear escaped its duct as the realization of how daft he had become through the years since he fled, alone, from Elendel flooded back into his mind.
