Pathfinder

True bone marrow samples can last months to years, assuming they are cryogenically preserved.

They would need to make new blessings, killing people with hemalurgy as per MeLaan. She stated they no longer wanted to do so, which is why they are numbered in the hundreds despite their long lives.

Regarding the guards knowing Ham was a misting, I concede you are correct, I located the passage and it is as you say. Regarding the all the time, in searching for the above scene, i came across numerous situations where Ham and Breeze were being smoked. Now regarding Sazed, that is incorrect, and I shall provide page numbers for reference. This is for a Kindle edition, so you may have to flip a few pages to find them exactly if you do not have one. First: page 217 "She Pulled herself toward another spire, caught it weakly, then immediately Pushed off again. The Inquisitor followed, thuds sounding as he jumped from spire to spire behind her. He found me. He couldn't see me, hear me, or sense me. But he found me." That clearly shows the inquisitor is finding her by burning bronze. Second: page 217 "It was growing dark again...no, it was just her mind. her vision grew dark, her eyes closing. Her wound didn't hurt anymore. She couldn't....even....think..... A sound, like shattering branches. Then arms gripped her. Warm arms, not the arms of death." By this point Vin losing consciousness, and just about out of pewter, so would not be giving off pulses, or if at all would be very weak (this is confirmed later, which I will quote). Meanwhile Sazed using strength to take out an inquisitor does not alert it of Sazed's presence. Kelsier and the other two inquisitors are elsewhere so no interfering pulses from them. Third: page 221 Sazed says "Master Hammond, I require some pewter. Her supply is exhausted, I think" The original supply being gone is confirmed shortly after Fourth: page 221 "accepted a vial from Hammond, then bent down and pours the liquid down the unconscious girl's throat. The room fell silent, the sound of pounding rain coming through the still open door. Vin's face flushed slightly with color, and her breathing seemed to steady. To Kelsier's Allomantic bronze senses, she began to pulse softly with a rhythm not unlike a second heartbeat" So Sazed used an entire steel metal mind to run back to Luthadel. He then used additional speed and strength to hit an inquisitor, which the inquisitor did not sense him using, and then fled with Vin using it. If it was as easy for inquisitors to track feruchemy as it is to track allomancy, then the inquisitor who was actively burning bronze, would have known Sazed was coming before he was hit.

Before Kelsier even got a body, he was talking to Spook to research into hemalurgy. He knows kandra exist, and he also knows koloss came from humans, so it would be reasonable to believe that by the time they reached the level of research to bring Kelsier back, that he would know how many spikes would mean Harmony could control him.

There was a WoB that he was by the southern scadrialians during shadows of self which is why he couldn't help with Bleeder. As to where he is at the time of Bands of Mourning, I haven't a clue.

It was both, the quote I posted specifically names it as fizzy. I can check again but im 99 percent sure it was also described as sweet at another part.

Oh I am not discounting Bloody Tan has a big part of things moving, nor am I discounting that some other force may have moved him. Just that it was not Harmony.

This is shadows of self forum, and those are pretty big spoilers for Bands of Mourning. Not sure if the spoiler ban is still in effect or not, but at least use spoiler tages.

Maybe I am lucky to be living in New York, but I was able to find three metallurgic shops near me (within train or car distance). Alloying a solid bar of a metal, without needing to shape it for more of the common metals is not a big deal. So as I said in my post, save up, get a bar made, and shave off with a file. A bar should easily last me years.

There is a WoB that he states that doesn't necessarily mean that. Just because a guy may have a spren that identifies as male, does not automatically mean he is gay.

The main reason I am not feeling the theory that Honor helped Odium spinter Aona and Skar is there is not a reason I can think of as to why Honor would help Odium do that at all. There is no evidence of problems between Honor, Aona and Skar for Honor to want to see them gone, and I don't buy the idea that Odium could convince Honor that it is a good idea to kill two people he used to know. Only way I could see that, is if Odium somehow fooled him into thinking Aona and Skar are bad, and if that is the case I could see that being a big thing to come up in the visions or for the spren. I think Stormfather would be saying things like "You humans are so much like Odium. Betrayal seems to be rooted within you.".

Well the metal's molecular structure is what acts as the "aon" for which preservation's energy flows. Now regarding the symbols itself, I personally (with no concrete facts to back it up, so please do not take this as a negation to your theory) feel the allomantic symbols is more world building where something in the past which is very important, works its way into every day life. Same thing with stormlight. The symbols of the radiants were seen as powerful and important, so the symbols worked their way into the language, symbols of the highprinces and so on. But that's just my interpretation.

Didn't she have to eat a bit of flesh in order to accomplish that? Pretty sure that's why they never eat the bones of the corpse, they simply can't eat it.

Out of curiosity I checked, and you are indeed correct sir "he looked back toward Steris, half of his fizzy yellow drink was gone."

I still find myself in the allomancy camp. Living in New York means I have all the metal I will ever need to fly around and not have to be crammed amongst the crowds to get where I want to go. There are metal supply stores where you can buy a brick of metal, so just make sure it is the right alloy, save up, buy a brick of each metal, and use a file. Each brick would probably last me years. Pewter accomplishes for me what Feruchemical gold, Feruchemical pewter, and Feruchemical steel do (though to much lesser extents) enough that I would be happy with a nice burn whenever I am sick, need to move my stuff, or jog on over somewhere and I wouldn't need downtime to store.

So random thought I just had. I know the real reason he didn't want to go to the great beyond. He doesn't want to deal with Mare saying "I told you so! I never betrayed you, you dunce!"

Ah gotcha, thanks!

Sazed ran all the way to Kredik Shaw itself, hit an Inquisitor, picked up Vin and ran off with her yet inquisitors did not follow and track him down while he used speed and strength. The point regarding Twindyl I will concede. Hammond was well known by the guards, and they knew he was a pewter misting. Pewter also burns very quickly. For him to burn it constantly like you say, he would have been downing vials constantly, and become a savant. There are a few scenes where the temperature is mentioned, and commented on his short sleeves due to his pewter, but all those scenes are either outside the city, or after the lord ruler is dead. Breeze and his crew of soothers/rioters were hidden far away from kredik shaw and the inquisitors. The speeches were also rare, spaced out, and moved constantly. As I said above, Sazed went all the way to Kredik Shaw, and used his abilities while around there,and yet was not found/grabbed due to it.

Another poster in another thread made what I feel is a really good point/theory that could help with this. Some Survivorists ritually scar themselves in honor of Kelsier. Potentially Spook could have grabbed a very dedicated Survivorist that was more than happy to sacrifice themselves to bring his god back and he could have the scars on his arms already in homage to Kelsier.

And yet Sazed ran around all through the first mistborn book using feruchemy regularly without any of the inquisitors chasing after him. Vin and Kelsier got away with it, because they wore mistcloaks and were assumed to be mistborn assassins in the employ of the nobles. There is an actual WoB saying it is difficult to sense a feruchemist tapping via bronze seeking, and that it takes a lot of training to accomplish that. The Lord Ruler used genetics to breed out feruchemists, and he failed as the Synod existed. In fact, if inquisitors could sense feruchemy, then why didn't they spot Twindyl while they used her as a breeder? By that same extension of logic, if it is difficult and takes effort to use bronze to sense feruchemy, which is from the same shards as bronze, then why would it be easy to sense other investiture from an entirely different shard once you learned how to notice feruchemy?

That is an excellent and awesome point. It would solve the issue as to why does the body he inhabits have scars. upvote!

I took it as the beginning of soda like coke and pepsi as we know it. A sugared fizzy drink

I still have trouble searching for WoB, so if someone can help me out I would appreciate it, but there is a WoB where he specifically answers that Harmony did not control Bloody Tan to do what he did.

Lol, but he still had resources. He was paid, he gathered an army, he had the know how to run the con and he had crew members to carry out specific missions. That's hardly nothing.

Yep, when it was stated that silver was allomantically inert, it meant you could not burn silver. But never said you couldn't push or pull on it.
