"Fine. The tower is a separate dimension closely related to this one, and it's... strange. The Aelfinn and Eelfinn run it, and the treaty that maintains their dimension has... different laws than normal."

"Weird stuff."

"You haven't read WoT yet? Shame on you."

"Yeah, well. You'll probably go into a coma for a while before dying. And it might not take us two months. If we can figure out a way to go the right way, we could get to where we need to go in a few hours."

He was invited to join the vengeance party.

"I can carry you with weaves, and besides, we'll only be in the tower for a few months at most. Actually, I've only got two months of water, so it'll take us at most that long."

Seer has multiple seconds of warning. He starts moving before the opponent. SA

No, because you have multiple seconds to spin. I don't know about you, but I was able to spin around in about 1-2 seconds. Everything in fighting has hard limits. And futuresight plus the ability to perfectly abuse that futuresight has a very high limit. SA

"I didn't murder anyone. It was the platypus that killed the dragon. But this is irrelevant." Unintelligible turned to the magical residue that Subversion had left behind, closing his eyes and focusing. "I can track this. And I think Subversion's waiting, wherever it leads. I think she's realized that running only delays the inevitable."

Atium is more than a 4-8 times advantage. So? He still won against two people in pretty much optimal conditions for them, with about even equipment. Your statement is useless anyways, because we are not talking about fighting a duel with Atium. We are talking about a fight, which is quite different. So you step back while spinning, knocking the guy's spear aside and slitting his throat. If you want to know if Atium could get you out of a situation, think: Is there anything that a human body could do to avoid this attack, given you start moving several seconds before it begins? Not "Well, they already started stabbing, nothing I can do" but "Oh, they're going to stab me in 3 seconds. Allow me to move towards them as they do, nudging that spear to the side with my hand so it misses and tripping that guy so he runs into his friend, leaving me a perfect opening to stab this other guy in the chest." Atium does not simply add finesse. It adds the ability to see the future, and basically gives you maxed-out skill. Stormlight spoilers

"Noted. I'll make sure to knock you unconscious if we ever run into a fight."

Where no course of action would allow someone of the Seer's physical abilities to survive. Two on one is nothing.

"If you want to kill a semi-Narrator, you have to break a few eggs."

Unintelligible nodded approvingly. "Anyone who helps Subversion should die for it."

Unintelligible kicked the door down and ran inside. "Guys? It's empty."

Unintelligible finishes killing the last Root cultist. "Looks like none of them knew where Subversion was. Time to interrogate the dragon, I guess."

"And you won't do it again?"

Unintelligible is too busy trying to interrogate the Root cultists to help.

So we don't see Atium used to win in that situation? Then why are you bringing that situation up? No, I mean a literal no-win situation. As in one where no course of action will allow one to survive. Duels are not fights.

Back against a wall, no way to block an attack? That exact situation happened? It kinda does. Unless you get the seer in a no-win situation, they will kill you extremely quickly. In the situation that it is literally impossible to block, dodge, or prevent all of the blows hitting you, then you die. However, I think you underestimate exactly how hard such a situation is to create.

"Uh-huh. I'm sure you won't threaten to use them in order to manipulate the rest of us."

That situation has literally never happened in the books. Again, never happened in the books. And also Atium give 360 degree vision.

Nameless tossed TAAron a sheath. "Can you use those without accelerating your soul damage?"

Unintelligible took the opportunity to begin slaughtering the Root cultists. "WHERE IS SHE?!?!?? I KNOW SHE'S HERE SOMEWHERE, SO TELL ME WHERE SHE IS NOW!"

"Sorry TAAron, but burning metals is the worst thing for you right now. Until we get your soul fixed, you don't need to have them. As for being useless, don't worry we can keep you safe through the tower. Actually lines up well with the story of a previous expedition into the Tower." Nameless fished a hand into his pack and handed a dagger to TAAron. "Don't eat this."
