Pity the poor tasters! Don When any group seeks political power in God's name, both religion and politics are instantly corrupted.

Well - the Temple might. I swear, the damn thing is the biggest violation of the Proscriptions on Safehold, and the man responsible for maintaining them never leaves the place. (Yes, I know, it's angel's work and thus covered. And it's one change of perspective on Safehold from looking completely different.) But anyway, Clyntahn's food tasters probably are living very, very well given his tastes. I do have to wonder about how threatened they feel by the people who'd love to poison him, or even if he's got their families in custody as a threat. |

Well IMO the only one that could use such a poison would be Merlin and I think it is unlikely he would do that if it put other people at risk as well. Maybe something high tech could work, inducing a heart attack via medical nano-machines and can be made specific to Clyntahn.

Heart attack or stroke but, I would also think it might be worth while to have something that could short circuit a PICA built into it. What if Clynthan is Schulers PICA and it is acting as it is because it thinks no one can touch him. I don't recall any thing about his early years or any one who knew him then. Now that is twisted thinking In my life, every bully I encountered was really insecure but got away with being a bully till someone stood up to him and knocked him down. If Clynthan gets knocked down it better be for good. Just my 2 ₡ worth

This is a revolting idea.
OWL's library probably has the recipe for heterosexual-transmissible HIV. The joy girl who transmitted it could be cured afterward. |

The Helmcleaver guys were talking about not killing Rayno (when they could have done) until they got Clyntahn. So that's why I voted for Ninian / Helmcleaver. But our host is devious as someone said, so maybe it's a good sign that there is no clear leader.
Don't forget in HFQ we learn there are assault shuttles (plural) also the air lorries are plural too. "The size of pre space jumbo jets." That's one hell of a big cave! Opens up the possibility of a Sea and air coordinated attack and could bring members of the inner circle into the frame. |

Well, HIV is a little to slow acting for my purpose. I was thinking more of the idea that she could bring along a bottle of his favourite wine to be drank with the evening's meal. The girl would have been given a cure before she entertained Clyntahn. The idea comes to me as a memory of the story of Emily West nicknamed "The Yellow Rose of Texas" who was rumoured to have "entertained" Santa Anna to the point where he was unprepared for the attack that came. -

No one has raised the possibility that the SOB will kill himself. If we follow the Hitler pattern to its conclusion, that is a distinct possibility.
Imagine some force opposed to Clyntahn, be it Allied forces, a CoGA internal revolt, or Merlin and Nynian in person (unlikely) are in the Temple at his door, and Clyntahn hears the sound of the device used to force open doors in the Temple... What will he do? He does not strike me as the type to grab a sword or a heretical pistol and go out fighting. I also suspect that if that happens, it will be preceded by all of his supporters fleeing, and he will be alone. Mind you, if there is a self-destruct for the Temple he can access, he may try to use it. Or something that triggers the 1000 year return. I can see DW's parting shot / cliff hanger for the next book being an indication that the return has started. And BTW, I think that Chihiro may be the psycho behind the book of Schuler and the destruction of the Alexandria enclave. Based on the hints so far, and Schuler's appearance in the key's video, I have a suspicion that Schuler wasn't as evil a person as indicated. If Chihiro has a PICA, then I foresee a Chihiro vs Merlin fight that results in the death of both of them. -- Bob G SF & Fantasy: The only things better than Chocolate.
