Quote I really don’t get how so many people missed all the foreshadowing. I thought it was evident from the HoA epilogue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trutharchivist he/him Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 Hoblim went to wash himself, then put on what he has for pajamas and went to sleep. Quote Expect my next post after we jump to the morning. I'm going to (probably) be up earlier than everyone else, unless someone else is an early riser. And Kingsdaughter, I kind of followed Kel's discussion with Lilliana, but Hoblim didn't. I think that at least part of the reason Lilliana wanted to gatecrash the wedding was because she wanted to meet Hoid. She's smarter than telling that to Kelsier, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelsier smirked and stood up. “Thank you for the books, Lilli. They were quite interesting.” It had given him a starting point, at any rate. Scadrians had a stronger affinity for metal than Nalthians; now that he actually knew something about Nightblood’s creation... Well, it had always been a matter of time.

Random Bystander she/her Posted March 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 Okay. Now what? She started pacing through her room. I've got it! From what I remember in history, Scadrial should have microscopes. She grinned. I need to figure out how to make an electron microscope. After that, I know I can figure out how to make a vaccine. She paused, her thoughts going down a tangent. Actually, I don't think I need an electron microscope. The first vaccine was created long before the invention of the electron microscope. Whatever. I'll figure it out in the morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though this time it's actually much more personal taste than that. Anyway, it will limit a little what he can eat here. Which is to say, no meat or milk. He might force himself to eat the granola bar if there's nothing else and it's kosher. Edited March 10, 2021 by Trutharchivist 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. In the Cosmere: there is a mild Connection between various minor forms of divination (cartomancy, tea leaves, certain Nalthian artworks...) and Fortune. In the case of the specific individual: yes. Again: Trésor has food. Not bread for Hoblim though, because that runs into some bishul akum problems.

He opens it and takes a piece of paper from a nylon case there, after searching a little. "There." He says. "Would you prefer a pencil or a pen? My pencil is very short, and I'm not sure if I could find a sharpener here, but if you want to use it you may." @Kingsdaughter613 Quote Perhaps I can just decide it was Kosher, but I prefer not to. Ah, the LDS! The christians that always evade my understanding, and that populate the shard! Should've guessed. Up until now, nearly anyone who I assumed not to be christian was LDS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
