I think we all pretty much expect that CoGA as it is will be done for in the next book, which obviously means that Clyntahn must go. I thought it would be fun, then, to probe for general opinion among forumites here. Who do you think will be the one to send the Grand Fornicator to Langhorne and Chihiro?

I voted for Duchairn, instead of Phandys, but I think that's one and the same.

Duchairn mused in HFQ about the Inquisitor guards outside the Go4 meeting room and how they were loyal only to Clyntahn.

Duchairn knows that killing Clyntahn would be suicidal.

That may not stop him. He told Trynair at least one book ago that he'd give his life to stop Clyntahn but that he wouldn't do it futilely.

What would it take to persuade him that he could stop the monstrosity that the Inquisition has become?

It would have to be a complete coup plot like Operation Valkyrie.

I think Irys will do it. I don't see how, but it would be poetic. "Hello. My name is Irys Daykyn. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

If she uses that cheesey accent and completes the entire scene, I'll he a happy reader.

In the book and on the screen that part delivered satisfaction and with anti ballistic underwear she could even take a bullet or two.

OOOOOOHHHHH! Replay the scene with Irys and pistols. Something like A Fistfull of Dolars.

Irys slides the pistol to clyntahn and tells him to make sure and hit her heart. He shoots and misses.
"Beg for your life", she says.
"Please don't kill me", he begs.
"Offer me something for your life", she continues.
"Anything! I'll give you anything you want!", he pleads.
"I want my father and brother back you fat, son of a sand-maggot!" as she shoots him between the eyes. She turns back to Hektor.
"I still like it better when you play Buttercup", he say as they walk out of Clyntahn's office.

It would be in character for our host to surprise us.

I am fairly certain it will end up being Duchairn, I think it would be really funny to read the scene and have Duchairn point out that kindness is deadlier than fear. But it may just be Clyntahn's own temper that kills him.
