18th Shard

Xanas soulcast the atium to lead, venture's weapons to crystal, and dropped him in the middle of the reshi sea with aon tia. This battle was dead before you were here.

What about the time it opened in front of a black hole and we lost three shipments of cookies?

i would assume they have the same problems but everything is disjointed and no longer connected internationally.

Xanas walked in just in time to see Fatebreaker steal the cake. "Really, the whole thing?" He turned toward Maleril. "It would be great to defeat the rebel Parshendi, but we need a field advantageous to us. Lots of metal in the ground, hmm, and Stormlight infused gems... maybe some existing Aonic plates - a jungle might impede the Parshendi, and add some vicious animals, maybe a chasmfiend or two..." Xanas trailed off, mentally imagining a storming awesome field. "You should get that ready."

By the end of Stormlight archive, we will wheel our favorite series in on a cart.

Xanas looked up and smirked as more assassins fled. He held up the soulstamp and pressed it onto the dazed assassin next to him, glancing at a stopwatch. "Not corrupted by Ruin completely, I see. Tainted though." He held up a hand absentmindedly and doodled a circle than completed Aon Daa. The assassin who was sneaking up behind the ice columns was immolated instantly. Really? he thought, not hiding in Shadesmar. Come on, make this a challenge. He walked over to Voidus and handed him two spikes. "Warform and a birthday in Tanatanev." Xanas grabbed a taco and walked away, looking for another assassin while eating the taco. These are really good. We need to have these more often. He nodded to Elsa and walked into the doorway.

Xanas stepped out into the ballroom in a burst of light, Aon Tia fading away. "Queen Elsa, there appears to be some unidentified... ah, you found them!" He looked at Winter viciously growling at one of the assassins, Maleril interrogating a walrus. He sighed. Again... I thought we found that narwhals were better for that! Xanas stepped toward one of the assassins, flaring Allomantic brass and Feruchemical duralumin. "Some people don't know how to interrogate assassins." He turned toward the suddenly complacent assassin and said with a friendly voice, "So where you from, pal?" The assassin smirked. "Scadrial, duh. Where do you think we learned to use aluminum?" "Oh, I don't know. I mean, you should know that that wouldn't bother Queen Elsa, and most her court are Epics." "I know that. We didn't want the wolf getting any ideas." "So how exactly were you planning on killing Elsa?" "Poison, obviously. It's in the punch." Xanas dropped the assassin on the floor, carefully sticking him there with a Full Lashing, and walked over to the punch. He picked up a cup and gulped down the drink. "Yep, poisoned. Aluminum phosphide, so undetectable. Tastes awful though, so they added... is that Tears of Edgli? These guys are well funded." Xanas sat down next to the assasin and pulled out a piece of soulstone. "Now for some advanced testing," he said, tapping speed and chizeling away at the rock.

He's OP enough as is. *Shudders from thought of giving any Epic a Yellow Lantern Ring which is powered by Fear... Sinestro better never come to the Reckonerverse.*

I believe he did know about it (correct me if I am wrong) but could not obtain very much due to chromium being hard to get pre-industrial age.

Steel - superspeed is awesome!

As my math teacher said, I know all the digits of pi. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

Doesn't Spook use Tin powder in HoA?

Xanas watched the ice crystals float past with the spectroscope. Darn. Epic powers are not electromagnetically radiating. He switche don the Geiger counter and watched the snowflakes drift by. "Alleys are under lockdown," he said with a tsk, drawing an Aon Tia to bring them inside the barricades. He watched as two made their way towards Winter, then stopped as the Aviar's influence began to cut them off from their maker. The third ran repeatedly into the door frame, seemingly unable to move around it. Sighing, he picked up a spanreed and wrote a quick note to Voidus. Elsa's got snowflakes drifting in - the Aviar appear to cut them off cognitively though. If Elsa can get here, we may not be as distanced as necessary. Perhaps initiating a temporospatial anomaly that cuts us off from the physical realm altogether unless one Elsecalls? Also, there is precedent for spiking bloodless entitites (kandra); however, we do need some way to concentrate the Shard into a corporeal form. P.S. I also added inverted and white text to the disclaimer.

Explaining humor kills it... Coinshots fly and Hallandren is the city of Awakening - hence color. So, "Flying Colors".

When you make an exception to the Word of Wisdom for allomantic smoking

A Coinshot from Hallandren?

Xanas signaled two acolytes, who began scanning Winter in a variety of spectrums: electromagnetic, investiture, and cognitive. He then pushed two knobs on the wall. The room was then plated in metal imbedded with Aons and Invested gems, and covered with Awakened cloths. He nodded to Fatebreaker. "The Shards should be blind now."

Noticed this bit: The wording here really struck me.

When you hear the word Lifeless and immediately wonder what its command is.

So can we isolate the shards and put them in spikes? Pretty Please?

What is up with the ricocheting caused by exiting a time bubble (from the quote Kurk should have payed attention to )? I think this might be the key to at least part of FTL, if something inside the bubble is ricocheted back because the arm outside of the bubble is slower than the arm moving inside, so it ricochets. can we ask for clarification?

Of course we have lights. Some customers are afraid of the dark.

"Xanas and Redbird of the Dark Alley, milady. We've remedied some of the excess investiture and the cognitive control the Shards had over Winter, but we can't really block several Shards at once. Plus, her Spiritual Aspect is completely open to interference, and the various Investiture bestowed by spikes and her innate Allomancy allows Ruin, Preservation, and perhaps a few others some extra 'ins' to her mind." Xanas turned on the lights. "Forgot you can't see in the dark."

Xanas pulsed bronze - then winced as a sudden burst of pulses nearly deafened him. Here goes nothing, he thought. Reaching into a hidden store, he pulled out 4 spikes (each imbued with Allomantic copper) and stabbed them into an open spot on his left arm. He took out a vial of copper and duralumin-flared his copper, burning through almost three normal hours of reserves in two seconds. The coppercloud, extending only about 10 feet around him. He nodded to TalNaan, the kandra he'd sent for early, as the kandra began to carefully burn copper. Thank goodness Fatebreaker had those extra copper spikes in store. Xanas pulled out a radio. "Get a couple of Aviar in here. We need to block off her mental signature."
