Oooo, yeah. Seems whenever Tom tries something strong in the Abyss, he gets stronger. Remember when he tried Denubian ChocoCoffee™ the first time? It allowed him to see and manipulate binding links for the first time. Wonder what your cookies would allow him to do? Maybe he'd get the munchies and eat a soul, or see into Astlan without a link! Farseeing cookies! Ooo, then he could just fade out to Astlan anytime and anywhere he wanted.

You know, I'm pretty sure he could break Lenamare's link if he really tried. It's only a fourth order binding. Of course, with it he can find out exactly where Lenamare is. He could also use it to pop in when Lenamare is sleeping and off him.

He's not using his resources to their fullest!

Was wondering the same...maybe the angels need the x-beverages and other avatars can get drunk...or are those senior archons angels too??

I thought the links for God's and mana clouds or whatever they are called couldn't come to the abyss.

Gods in the Abyss. Sounds like a D'Orc Doom Metal band!



Oh...I just had a thought. What if the alvar DO find out, and tie up Jenn and Gastropè for a good burning at the stake, and as the flames leap up, Tom uses the fire to pull them out and save their lives! SQUEEE!!!




Oh, oh, another thought! Your magic cookies dunked in Denubian Choco-Coffee™! Now THAT will knock your socks off! If...you know...you wear socks...or have feet.

Ok, quick question. Do the Denubians require it to be Denubian Choco-Coffee(TM), or Denubian Choco-Coffee™?

That's actually a very simple incantation. For a copy of the balling of when Jenn finds out about Tom, I'll show it to you.

After all Jenn's seen I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't even care

I think he meant the werewolves are in a different book/series.

I should imagine there are werewolves in Astlan, since the word exists in their languages or at least I can say it and people know what I mean, so I assume the myths exists, and if a myth exists, it must be true.

Well from what I read, Asmodeus has plans to use her against Talarius, and probably Tom too. He said he had located her.

Those guys are Tiernon's apostles I would guess. Not sure it's an exactly accurate title.

Although if you treat the word apostle as being a sort of synonym for harbinger then they would be harbingers of doom aka apostles of doom as well.

Of course, strictly speaking, apostles are followers and harbingers go ahead. In one mythology I read about, the Harbinger was a guy named John the Dunker (he went around dunking people's head under water in rivers) and he was a harbinger for a prophesied messiah. Then after that messiah came and violently went (as they so often do) his apostles Peter, Paul and Mary went around singing about him, his love, lemon trees and his magic dragon.

So maybe the next book should be called Harbingers of Doom. It sounds so much more ominous, and you so seldom get to use that word. However, it doesn't roll of the tongue quite as well.

There you go, stereo typing good and evil...why do you assume there are no good guy werewolves?

And I'm sorry but if you are a werewolf and you live in London or Paris and want a snack, you got what? Rats, dogs, cats and humans. Clearly humans make the most sense for a full meal.

Sure, some cops might have horses, but not that many of them, they'd be harder to find.

So if you are looking for a good meal, you need to chowdown on someone in a dark alley, park or subway, no other options.

And if you think that's evil, well, I point out that neither werewolves nor vampires are maintaining giant feedlots of people, nor raising them in tiny cages where they can't turn around.

Nor do they use semi-automatic rifles to hunt. They realize such things (feedlots, military weaponry) are not sportsmanlike and ruins the "thrill of the hunt" after all, it's the adrenaline and other high stress hormones rushing through the terrified and fleeing prey that give the meat that extra bit of flavor.

Speaking of evil and unsportsmanlike, let me once again wage war on the most unspeakably terrifying predators on any planet: Vegetarians!

Carnivores (unless they cheat with feedlots) have to chase down and kill their prey; but at least the prey has a chance to run away, to escape.

Vegetarians on the other hand prey on stationary targets that can't run away. Imagine the terror of the poor carrot, stuck in the ground as the vegetarian walks openly up to it and plucks it out of the soil.

Then it brutally cuts is mouth off (the greens) and skins it alive, and EATS IT ALIVE! Yes, you know that vegetarians often eat their prey alive, of course some times the boil or bake their victims alive first.

But you note how if you put green onions or any onions in the fridge, say in water? They keep growing! And how you can dice up and plant a potato and it will grow (or sometimes grow on it's own in the pantry?) Vegetables are alive and if you eat them raw, you are literally eating them alive!

At least with a werewolf, the victim bleeds to death relatively quickly, or when their heart is ripped out!

But no, those evil vegetarians eat their victims alive ignoring the poor vegetables silent screams of agony!

Hmm, could be, or maybe it happens in the middle of AOD?

Maybe he goes on a mission to rescue her? Of course, he'd probably need to get War Arrow into the Abyss, along with barding and a lance so he could charge Asmodeus.
