Erm.

Spoiler

I seem to recall that the only connection between the watchtower and the keep were the suspended bridges (which I'm not sure are still there, but). Linden didn't cross any bridges, yet she moves from the tower to the Keep in her rush downward, arriving in the Keep's entrance chamber. Were they even on the watchtower at the end of Runes?

I just checked. It's consistent. They were in the watchtower and had crossed the suspended slat bridge.

Okay.

Anyhoo.

Spoiler

It looks like the Masters are preparing to torch the tower when the Demondim attack. That'd be pretty cool.

Spoiler

It's also consistent that Linden is still a complete and utter wuss.

Spoiler

Maybe Linden will torch the tower...will that do it for you Jay?

Another book full of Linden's "Woe is me!" This really doesn't make me inclined to read much further...

Spoiler

Although a book full of Jeremiah taunting Linden might actually be fun...

How come Linden cannot touch TC or J, but the Masters can? Shouldn't they have dissappeared?

Also, its probabley been said somewhere already (GI?) but, is all the Last Chrons from Lindens POV? Damn i wish TC were the POV again.

Because Foul set it up that way. To torture her.

I don't remember anything like that from before. Did any Raver cause that in those he possessed?

Not to my knowledge.

Regarding the oil ... I don't think they were going to torch the tower. I think they were planning to dump it onto the Demondim and light it.

Here is something I posted in the other CH 1 thread.... it bears discussion:

Spoiler

After reading what was posted... the fact that TC and jeremiah cannot be touched by Linden or the staff has some strange implications.

Spoiler

1) Is their presence UN-lawful in some way? We know that the Law of Death was broken by Elena in millenia past, and that TC himself is/was dead...but what about Jeremiah?

2) Perhaps more importanly, I think it suggests that Linden has her own paradox. Recall that the Mhoram discovered that TC WAS the white gold... could Linden herself BE the Staff of Law? CFould her emotional need to control be so strong ( in conjunction with her healthsense) that it has the power to predicate the physical laws of the land?

Holy F--!
OK, unlike many of you poops, I do not see Linden as a whiner... That was an amazing snippit of a chapter. I can only guess that all you Linden-complainers have no emotion.

Spoiler

My heart absolutely wept when she could not even do that simple action of embrasing her loved ones!
And that observation of them being herded is sooo apt. I agree with someone else, that this is all about crushing the will and sending Linden on a course of utter depair and destruction.
I am not sure what to make of TC and Jeremiah yet, but the notion that they 'defy' Law makes sense in that Linden is the symbol of Law and healing.

The only thing I truly wish from this series, more than anything else, is that Foul "gets what coming to him"... in whatever form that takes! I'm not asking for a 'happy' ending, just a satisfying ending conserning Foul.
b@stard...

Oh, and MAY 9th!!!! Gahhhh!

I'm told that those we would want to "get what's coming to them" in Gap do not, so don't hold your breath.

In the Gap series? Oh, I dunno. Some of them do. I guess what you ultimately have to beware of, going by the Gap as example, is that you'll begin to sympathize with Lord Foul.

No, Gap ending is satisfying even though I was thought

Spoiler

Angus got off a little soft.

No, so far I have no complaints about SRD endings. My definition of Foul getting his 'come-uppance' may differ from others. I'm not asking for a blast of searing Law from Linden that forever tortures his 'soul' in to being an integrated part of the beauty and balance of Law of the Land ... (man that was stream of consciousnes ...

)...
just something ... satisfying...

(although what I just wrote sounds pretty neat,,,
