--- Quote from: kalten on April 15, 2012, 02:42:32 PM ---No one's arguing that DuMorne isn't D-E-D dead. The theory is that when Kemmler went down the last time, he took over DuMorne's body a la Corpsetaker/Butters. This left Dumorne dead, and Kemmler is now known as Cowl.

If Kemmler was acting as Justin, how on earth did he get his ass kicked by 16 year old Harry?
And Cowl is too weak to be Kemmler.

We've never actually seen the fight itself. Harry might've caught Justin by surprise or something. Besides, it's 16-year-old Harry we're talking about. He does lots of things that he shouldn't be able to do.

:o Harry said that he hit him harder than either Eb or Lea, who are both pretty badass magically speaking. And it's not like Cowl was putting all of his effort into that one spell, either. Did he seem winded after that blast to you? Nope. In fact, he tried to hit him again right afterwards, and then put together a shield on the fly that was powerful enough to stop a car from crushing him. Just how strong do you think Kemmler is!?

From his own words, it was a straight up duel, not an ambush.

Tell me, do you think that either of those individuals have ever put their all into hurting Harry? Lea is forced to pull punches because she's obliged to keep Harry alive, the only time he's faced down Eb is in a practice duel. Cowl was trying to severely injure or kill Harry, no pulling punches there.

That just shows he has a respectable suernatural gas tank.

Strong enough to take on the entire White Council.
And considering just ow strong Eb is on his own, I would put Kemmler in the "can cause natural disasters on his own without much effort" tier if he required the entire White Council.
Also,
--- Quote ---Q: Is Cowl still out of Harry’s league, now that Harry has this additional power?
A: I don’t know. Remember that Harry was outrunning the Ick

Let me get this straight the winter night is shot falls into a ice cold lake a few miles from his sanctum which is where a ley line originates that has a genius loci so strong that it scares some of the white counsel spit less… and not one of his friends goes to see if his body is there? Wow I don’t know how to take that. :o

Most of them probably don't know about the island or how to get to the island.
As for the ones who do know, they probably were also told about Demonreach's policy towards humans or didn't want to risk trying to navigate the lake in the snowy condition.
Or they just assumed he was dead, its not an entirely unreasonable assumption from the amount of blood that was on the boat.
