Deirdre's Coin [Possible Spoilers]

--- Quote from: mid_life_crisis on December 12, 2014, 12:18:41 AM ---The one problem here is that once Nic was helpless, Michael would have started talking to him again, trying to save him. Harry would have had to do the ice spear trick then run over and grab the noose. Or the frigidus-forzare combo and then picked up the noose from the Nic chunks.

I think Michael was committed to ending him by that point. He's smart enough to realize that ice wouldn't hold Nic forever once Anduriel set his attention to freeing him.

THere are only 3 truly experience denarian hosts left, the rest of the order would have to be filled out by newbies, and both of the others are on a different fraction from nic. SAy this number was lowered, perhaps, completly, then the order would be at a severe disadvantage.
Harry knows about the shadow spy capabilities, so any truly secret plans will be made in michaels house or on the island.
one coin is currently missing, while 2 are last seen in the underworld.
Nic potentially has all the contained coin free.
Harry has access to the well, one of the few places that could be capable of containing denarians. Even if they cant be secured permanently, i am bettin that it would hold them the longest possible time, centuries perhaps millenium..

We've seen him heal from gunshots to the chest quickly, but Harry's fastball to the ribs slowed him down dramatically. Why didn't the noose protect him from the harm caused by Harry's snowball?
--- End quote ---
Because it was a huge amount of energy? It didn't so much hurt him, but it hit him with a ton of force, that the noose does nothing about. Bullets don't actually have that much total energy, it's just concentrated. The noose does nothing to stop the laws of physics from applying to Nic.

Except killing a helpless opponent whom he's supposed to be trying to save would be passing judgement, and we all know what that does to holy swords.

No, killing a helpless opponent who has proven himself beyond redemption is the best time to do it. No judgement required. Especially if you can believe what Nic said about it being up in the air if Murphy had just murdered him instead of saying "Damn you."
