Spren of Kindness

Dox?

Oh.

What's elastoplast?

OB spoiler period is long over, so in the Stormlight forum you're good. In any other forum that would probably need to be spoilered, since you don't know if people have read OB or not. Sprengineering is the best word I've heard all day.

Kindness makes her way to the lab. "T, Fadran wants us to all get back to... I guess base? I don't know what to call it."

"Of course!" Kindness zips off, weaving through the halls quickly.

"After all, where's the fun in just doing one?"

Rich Mullins is really good. I've been listening to his 'You Did Not Have a Home' a lot because the rhythm is so good. He's a Christian artist. And Thomas Bergersen. Bergersen is really creativity inducing for me.

What does she think Sadeas is going to be up to?

I'd appear outside my house and fall two stories. I might mess up my back. What was your worst explanation of something?

Jasnah?

True. But the idea remains the same, for me at least.

Oh, I don't have WOR and TFE right now. So I'm about... 1800 pages off in getting everything to fit.

Well, if I read sneak peaks, I have a bad habit of skipping everything in the sneak peak when I get the actual book, because, 'I know this, let's go already!' And I don't want to do that for Rhythm of War. Also, I don't get the newsletter or anything, so there's also that. But. I just want to read the whole book at once. And touch lava.

Why do i keep wanting to touch lava. Is it because it glows? Is it because it looks like putty occasionally? Will I ever know? Anybody else avoiding ROW chapters?

When you finally get Oathbringer and have to restructure your bookshelf, but don't want to separate all your Sanderson books.

I actually read a book with this same idea of controlling pressure release to prevent eruption. It would work - it's just extremely dangerous with the equipment and technology we currently have. (It's a storming volcano, of course it's dangerous.) The Radiants could absolutely do this. They would need to be highly skilled, and I would still reccomend evacuation as a precaution. But it would work.

You make some really good points about that. As implausible as it sounds in my head, knowing what the various Surges do makes it seem like it would work. As long as they don't rely on pre prepared measures (Mount St. Helens blew a pretty massive chunk of the north side off, and that probably would have altered the directions stuff went), I wouldn't say there would be no damage or possible loss of life, as there's always something you can't plan for, and usually some people who stick around for fun, or just don't think it's that dangerous. But definitely, the Radiants would probably be able to reduce that level of damage.

You're right about all of this - but pyroclastic flows and surges move very quickly. That's not lava, it's very, very hot ash (and stuff) and gas. That's why I said high ground. If it's just a pyroclastic flow, it will travel downhill, so getting to high ground is your best bet, if you have time. The flows can travel up to 80 km or fifty miles per hour. A pyroclastic surge travels in the air, meaning Soulcasters had better be really good at long distance transformation (still not sure about the temperature plan there), or you have many, many Windrunners and Skybreakers ready to Lash people above and away. If I misread your post and you addressed this stuff, I'm really sorry. I just get very enthusiastic about volcanic stuff.

Will the 5000 subscriber stream be put on YouTube later? My laptop is a little finicky about twitch.

True. I figure that in the end, the only thing you could really do would be the ancient method of 'get to high ground, and if you can't do that, pray'. Fabrials might be some help, but depending on the metals used and the temperature of the surge or flow, it might melt. You'd be pretty much out of options then. Lashings could do it, maybe. I agree, this is probably one of the things where magic can't solve the problem.

Good point. I think it would be easier, though possibly more dangerous physically to deal with lava. Still not sure what good Radiants can do when faced with pyroclastic flows and surges, so if anyone figures that out, please tell me. I'm very interested.

The sequels. Don't kill me, but I really liked those. Or at least, the idea. It maaaaaaaaaay have just been Rey. I was a little girl, and it was a 'cool girl Jedi, and she's awesome!' thing, okay? But I'd love to see those cleaned up. If you had to listen to one song on repeat for the rest of your life, what would it be?

I wonder if Soulcasting could be used to stop lava? And yeah, windbreaks would be extremely important, especially if there are pyroclastic surges. Though if you get in the way of that...I'm not sure even a Radiant could do anything.
