Okay, now that we know an attempt to free our favorite Aes Sedai in Limbo
(Eelfinn-land) will be made we can start wildly speculating how the A-Team
(Mat, Thom, and Noal) will go about it. Many action oriented fans will be
disappointed that Mat will not blast his way into the Tower of Ghenjei with
his yet to be made cannon...
Snip: < MENTAL IMAGE: After carefully calculating range, azimuth, and
deflection Mat commands his crew of gun bunnies to load the armor piercing
sabot discarding round into the howitzer breech and open fire...>
but will meekly use a bronze knife for the Open Sesame spiel. Nice tie-in
to the Randland Snakes and Foxes game that Olver has been playing Endlessly.
BTW why would Birgitte casually tell the WOT's most promising juvenile
delinquent* information that she previously insisted to Perrin (reference
old Wolf Dream) was too dangerous to reveal? WTFO???
It goes without saying that they will violate the Snake & Fox conventions by
carrying a torch or lantern: To Blind, since none can channel those cool
Aes Sedai glow bulb thingies. Thom will smuggle his harp and/or flute: To
Dazzle (and induce a state of boredom/catatonia). Mat, Thom, and Noal will
of course be packing iron (steel weapons and manacles): To Bind, but only
after reading 'Finns their Miranda. I wonder how the 'Finn Homeland
Security will react when they check in? Since they already have
demonstrated courage: To Strengthen, for conceiving of a scheme that would
cause Nynaeve to have the ultimate apoplexy if she even suspected, they're
good to go!
For some unknown reason, I don't anticipate a surgical Entebbe type op;
maybe it's RJ's borrowed (and adapted) axiom about the best plan not
surviving the first arrow! At least we can look forward to Moiraine's
reaction to greeting the trio: Will she maintain her legendary calm and
serenity and ask them what took so long? Will she actually have the
patience and forbearance to forgive Mat's infuriating grin and slovenly
manners? Will Noal gain new material to spin his latest and most outlandish
yarns? Stay Tuned!
Oh Yea! Wouldn't it be great if Mat decided to add Elayne to the rescue,
that way the team would have the benefit of a wise, benign noble with the
associated inherent feminine wisdom to guide and curb their compulsive
wretchedly male instincts. Failing that, she could always deploy the
Trakand Tactical Nuke to encourage the 'Finns to bargain in good faith.

adulthood when he suddenly acquired good sense and responsibility
