We knew she was a trainee. If someone in the forest knows that uniform, they must have seen trainees before. Eglamore?

The older forest critters may have seen many trainees before, including that guy, yes.

I wouldn't be surprised if at least one forest creature also followed Court/Forest politics well enough to recognize uniforms. However, I doubt the elf-dude will become a major character, or even a minor one. I'll be kind of surprised if we see him again at all. |

Four seconds, dammit. I can say nothing more. Yes it was close one and your was nice too withe : [1367] She looks tough! She indeed do(or something like that) Its look like she don't have here sword with here! Out of respect? She knows the precise co-ordinates for her sword, and will be there and back again in a *BIP*! Much Whoa! You have there a very nice point. |

Speaking of teleporting with a sword, I really hope we get to see Parley in action some day, against multiple opponents. Hmm, maybe a fanart. |

So who's up for a bet whether the next Tall Tale will involve Parley single-handedly defeating a whole army of "metal men" by cutting them in half with her bare hands? Or something like that.  |

Yeah, no kidding. I hadn't noticed before that she was teleporting in that scene. |

Let's see, there's Coyote Tooth pointed at Jones and Parley pointed at Jeanne. Any other Chekhov's guns? |

That elf-guy looks old, I'm pretty sure he was already there when Eglamore was in training. You sure that's an elf? I thought it was the union of Jack Frost and the ReDead from Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I call him...Dead Man Winter. |

Referring to page 961, I noticed that the german has been recently corrected. It was "unsichtbarau" last time I saw it, now it spells "unsichtbarHau". Am I right? |

Man, I can't get over how much I am in awe of Parley in these pages. She's a great sword fighter who's been offered the prospect of becoming the next Court Protector, a role so far only associated with big brawny guys (Eglamore, Thorn, possibly Young). And it looks like she started growing into that role (a big brawny Parley? ). I'm so glad to be able to read a story with well written female-soldier-characters, those are sort of rare as far as I know... |

Let's see, there's Coyote Tooth pointed at Jones and Parley pointed at Jeanne. Any other Chekhov's guns? Curious, where does Coyote's Tooth and Jones come from? I mean, sure, "it could cut the very earth", and there is appeal of the whole "impervious object meets the ultimate blade" situation, but is there any more foreshadowing that I missed? |

I'm wondering if Parley has ever (when working with a practice dummy) tried teleporting to a position where her sword is *already in* the opponent.
Also, what does "unsichtbarhau" mean? Google Translate gives "invisible" for the first two syllables but can make nothing of the last two.

Atoms would end up intersecting, forming superheavy nuclei, and you would cause a nuclear explosion  I think Parley's power has failsafes for that kind of thing Also, what does "unsichtbarhau" mean? Google Translate gives "invisible" for the first two syllables but can make nothing of the last two. "Invisible strike", roughly, or "invisible hew" more exactly. It's by analogy to many of the attacks in the German School of Fencing (as confirmed in the thread mentioned above). |

Well, having it widely known that they have teleportation capabilities may not be the best idea. Let's see, there's Coyote Tooth pointed at Jones and Parley pointed at Jeanne. Any other Chekhov's guns? Curious, where does Coyote's Tooth and Jones come from? I mean, sure, "it could cut the very earth", and there is appeal of the whole "impervious object meets the ultimate blade" situation, but is there any more foreshadowing that I missed? When I last heard on the subject, there was no more foreshadowing, but it was commonly agreed that there really was little other purpose for the blade as a plot element. I hope that it isn't designed by Tom for Jones' demise, but it's clearly a possibility. |

You can find some pretty neat videos on youtube if you look for Liechtenauer which is the technique Parley is using. (Seriously, check it out if you want to know how badass Parley really is) |

They may be less densely packed than the atoms of a solid body, but they're atoms just the same. Do you have any reasonable explanation as to why another body instantly materialising on top of them should displace some atoms but not others? Ugh, now you've done it. You've got your physics all over my fiction! xD |
