I wonder if Jeanne can detect intent somehow? If/when they go down there to free her, would she want to be freed? Though I guess Parley decked out in sparring gear with Coyote's Tooth might kinda negate whatever vibe the other three give off  |

Well, it seems clear that bringing parley as a fighter is out of the question.

Mmmh, all of these guys, some of them quite powerful, were snuffed out before they could react or even knew what hit them.
Annie was only "poked" once and just held in place the other time. Parley managed to distract her, and when Jeanne did attack she was able to dodge her and even throw in a counterattack to free herself and Annie.
Something there doesn't compute.

Parley already realised that. It looks like Jeanne deliberately went easy on them to tell them her story. Kat's coming to realise just how bad a second encounter would be. |

Am I asking the stupid question when I ask if Jeanne's last moment is on the tape and/or relevant?

Snuffing out a man's last words like that, even a bad one. That's why they call you Kat "Cold Heart" Donlan... that and the heart you keep in an ice cooler.
Maybe, they are putting too much on Parley having Coyote's vorpal fang. That magic AV system is still a valuable resource, though. I wonder if they can find an entry for Jeanne's lover?

They don't know the name of Jeanne's lover and there could be hundreds of names in that book. However, if it's in chronological order, then it could very well be the first one. I wonder if they can access Diego's memories and figure out that green arrow device. |

The videos final records are taken when a spirit enters the either. Since Jeeane is clearly still hanging around and hasn't been taken to the either her last moments shouldn't be recorded. Since I theorize that her lover also wasn't taken to the either (that arrow did hit him/it would be a reason for Jeeane to hang around/we know she kills guides too) then his final moments also wouldn't be filled yet. Now that I think about it: if I'm right, then by the same logic Mort's final moments also wouldn't be recorded. So much for learning about him that way. |

Hum... Maybe that's the reason why Jeanne doesn't want to be taken to the ether: she wants to stay with her lover's soul. Then, if they release him first, she might be willing to let them take her? |

Parley doesn't seem to be the type to give up so easily. Smithy better talk her out of it.

This was, I think, the original strategy; Parley isn't supposed to "kill" her, or even defeat her; just hold her off while the others get the arrow out. But, even that plan could be problematic, given what we've seen here. |

Parley already realised that. It looks like Jeanne deliberately went easy on them to tell them her story. Kat's coming to realise just how bad a second encounter would be. I can think of two possible reasons- Whatever happened to Jeanne, it seemed strongly linked to emotions (love, hate, anger, etc). It could have been that Jeanne as effectively stunned by Parley the first time, and wasn't reacting normally, or just slipped up due to surprise. Second, both times, AFAIK, that Annie has encountered Jeanne it hasn't been in the real world (that's why the cut on her cheek only shows up when she's using the blinker stone). There could be a large degree of difference in confronting Jeanne physically and confronting her spiritually. |

I wonder if any of them will try looking at the final moments of the other founders, like Sir Young. Did they also die troubled in their consciences over their double murder? If so, did they blame it all on Diego, as he blamed it on Sir Young? Or did they believe to the end that it was a necessary sacrifice for expediency?

So guy in the previous page was Lamet? If the guy in the previous page was Lamet, RobeGuy would not have described it as happening the day Lamet was lost. So the guy was some random hunter. Lamet (whom we've found NOTHING about anywhere else - Wikipedia has it as the name of an ethnic group in Southeast Asia, not as the name of any sort of supernatural being) probably came either for him or for the creature he was hunting that fell into the Gap. |

The first time, Antimony was physically down by the Annan Waters, hanging out with the fairies. |

hi hi
I'm starting to notice a strange sense of similarity between Coyote's story about how he came into being and Jeanne's predicament. I can't quite put my finger on it... The curses of a man dying alone in the desert, and the curses of a woman dying alone by the side of the river. Only one blames God, and the other blames perhaps the Ruthlessness of Mankind.
If those dying thoughts can become such a powerful part of the ether, what happens when they are focused on something that already exists? Did the founders of the Court know Coyote's secret when they came up with something that could deter even him?

It makes more sense to me that the guy was Lamet. Why else would robe guy mention the name if it wasn't him? Also, he has red glowy eyes. Kind of unlikely for some random hunter. |
