We don't know where this confrontation takes place. It seems to be that it was decided that the best way to punish Clyntahn is to confront him with the truth so he feels the full guilt for his decisions or is driven crazy before killing him. I can't imagine they will let Clyntahn live when all other inquisitors are killed so "we have no intention of harming" seems strange. Maybe this is just an idea that is being discussed as a possible scenario for dealing with Clyntahn.


I would guess the former. IIRC, the furthest that Clyntahn has gone from the Temple was the Plaza of Martyrs – so that Gwilym Manthyr could spit in his face :P

But I suppose it's possible that in the case of this very special prisoner, he may well have gone a little further.

Hm. Just a though - how could we know WHO is talking with Clyntahn?

What if she's NOT Nimue?

What if she's someone else PICA's?

What if she's actually the Archangel? After all, if Archangels returned, they have quite a lot of reasons to be displeased by Clyntahn actions... De-facto it was him. who made situation hardly salvageable.

Well, the snippet includes the phrase "as Merlin said." So either the she in question 1. just played a recording/hologram of Merlin or 2. Merlin is present. Either way, I doubt there are Archangels involved.

There is likely Schuler, or his hologram involved and it did say Clyntahn would get a chance to meet "them"

You, Sir, are an evil man.

Hopefully you'll use that evil streak to give Clyntahn what he deserves. :D

I think it's a distinct possibility that Clyntahn visited St. Thyrmyn to gloat at the prisoner referenced in the first OOO snippet and Nimue + Merlin paid him a visit.


And regarding the 11 words removed from the snippet, maybe Nimue whipped out a NEAT so they could educate Clynthan a bit...

Thank you your Eviliness, for using this snippet to drive us mad with desire. :o

A NEAT wouldn't work because he doesn't have the nano implants.

Oh, how bad I needs this book.....<sobs quietly>

Doh! Of course. Well, they could always stick him into a VR suit, but I doubt they have one in Clyntahns size :D

Give him a "Extreme Makeover: Nanite edition" , slim him down to 70-80kg, and then send him back.
