  1. Oh, H+C definitely have a plan. Even if Honor didn't make one, Cultivation certainly did. Now how much of that plan is still in play, or is yet to come, is probably only known to Cultivation, but still, if Preservation can outplan his counterpart while mad and dying, Cultivation is more than a match for Odium while sane.
  2. Two shards that are now inextricably linked, also by WoB.
  3. Dies to Shardblade like any chasmfiend. Fire breath can be mitigated by Stormlight, flight removed via Lashings (of either variety, although the one-two punch of Partial Lashing to disorientate, then Full Lashing to stick Saphira to the ground would be highly effective in this regard). The eldunari might be an issue, as it is basically a gemheart with Saphira's innate Investiture inside, but that's one point of difficulty inside a giant shell of scaly meat.
  4. Well, I can think of at least 4 reasons why Hoid and Rayse might have had a falling-out.
  5. We have a WoB. (OMG Arcanum is so much better for this!) EDIT: Sneaky ninjas!
  6. I can't link things on my phone, but the thread entitled "Ookla Season Cometh" has your answers.
  7. Mainly because Odium wants people to give him their emotions, and Kaladin couldn't give up his emotions if his life depended on it.
  8. She'd be a sort of itinerant doctor, that heals people that are bedridden/crippled/whatever in exchange for them cooking her meals. (She'd be a lot happier doing that than sitting in an office all day being brought food and miserable people)
  9. If I had to hazard a guess, that particular ideal would morph into something along the lines of "I will protect those that don't deserve it, if the need is there."
  10. And Odium made sure to mention that such a cavalier release would result in Roshar going boom. (Although Odium, now I think of it, is not the most reliable source, especially since his perpendicularity isn't even on Roshar to begin with)
  11. I wonder who that Truthwatcher was who contributed to drawer 30-20. The one who recorded the plan to create the parshmen, and appended basically a footnote saying "Oh BTW I foresaw this." EDIT: Moash does not count as a member of Bridge Four and you know it. EDIT: Hoid's line re: future sight was, and I quote: Anyone who "claims" to see the future, for starters. That gives them a lot of potential clout, especially so if their predictions come true. Second off, the fact that Hoid applies the warning to himself is, IMO, much like warning Dalinar not to "trust himself" with him in WoR, a warning that yes, he does have his own agenda, and no, it will not always align with our protagonists'.
  12. 3rd Letter: Also, Hoid could have been using Nalthis as a sort of base of operations when Fortune wasn't tugging him one way or another. He'd have needed to amass all those Breath somehow. RE: w/r/t the letter's writer (the 1st OB letter, that is) saying that Hoid had come to her lands multiple times. 4th Letter: I am highly amused by the idea that Bavadin is essentially an MMO player with a severe case of alt-itis. 5th Letter: I let out the biggest squee when I realized Harmony was writing that letter. Even bigger than the one when I twigged to Vivenna. Also, isn't Mistborn Era 3 during the timeskip after Stormlight 5? That seems like an excellent opportunity for Hoid to brief Harmony on things. Although if this many things got dropped during Stormlight _3_ I've no idea what the status quo will be by the end of Stormlight _4_, let alone by the time skip.
  13. It appears as though Odium is fully trapped. Mistborn spoilers:
  14. Bondsmiths have Cohesion. Since Oathbringer will concentrate heavily on the Bondsmiths, I would ask for something cool one could do with the surge of Tension, or something cool that Brandon knows the Stonewards can do, that they might not know about in-universe yet. (A la Radiants with the surge of Illumination being able to shoot lasers at people, or Radiants with the surge of Transformation being able to create radioactive material)
  15. Not necessarily - Stonewards can get (IIRC) Tension and Cohesion, so asking for a cool example of one of those surges will probably get you what you want.
  16. I think it began as a bait-and-switch: a new person would be lured in by the promise of cookies with the thinly-masked intent of spiking them when they got close.
  17. The thing is, a lot of the competition between Slaughter and Despair was cannibalized to create the conflict between Preservation and Ruin in Mistborn. (Notice how angry and saddened Preservation is about Ruin doing anything in Mistborn, and compare to the Former's relative nonchalance in Aether) So you may have less to work with than you think.
  18. Hrm. I guess Wit's only excuse is that he didn't know it was an Honorblade when all he saw was the tip. Of course, he connected the dots once he saw Taln, but until that point he didn't want to assume. (He generally doesn't, unless it's funny or he wants to provoke a reaction)
  19. I thought that was from a disembodied 3rd-person perspective, instead of Wit's own.
  20. It might be fun as Wayne's version of Ironeyes, though. EDIT: Even funnier, bring back Marsh's actor for that scene, with the Bale Batman voice coming out of his mouth when he says his lines. And switch back to Wayne's actor once the perspective changes back to Marasi.
  21. My first thought is expending blood to produce a reconstruction of a crime, from a crime scene. (e.g. you come upon a mugging and can expend blood to have ghosts reenact the crime as it happened) Then the rest of the plot involves tracking down the elements suggested by the recreation, e.g. the reconstruction has one party dodge over to a trash can or something, where the detective finds a murder weapon. To preserve the tension of figuring out the mystery, the simulacra caused by the spell need not have faces.
  22. re: half a Sleepless attempting to worldhop: You might not suffocate on the beads when you're the size of a tarantula, but you can still sink in them.
