Ares' Wood Shed... now with a Poll

--- Quote from: RobReece on October 09, 2017, 02:41:18 AM ---I just watched the Salt Lake City video and have a couple of questions/observations
1) at one point (24:10) when talking about future books, Jim says that the wrestling book will come about because Harry has come to the gods attention when he "knocked over Ares' woodshed"... ok I'd always assumed it was when he had his interview with Hades... when has/is he intruding on Ares' territory? Assuming he hasn't already, will it be PT or MM?
2) timeline for the next three releases, @ about 21 minutes in he says that Brief Cases should be released "Junish" and PT about 12 weeks after that then the next Cinder Spire about 6-8 months later. So let's look forward to possibly three releases within a twelve month period.
3) a question was raised about Thomas wielding one of the Swords again.
A) I'm trying to remember when he wielded one the first time...
B) Jim says "maybe, if he still has his fingers? That this book is being rough on Thomas..." with the healing he gets from his demon, what would keep him from regenerating fingers, assuming they get removed in the first place.
Thoughts?

I am guessing that the Hades heist involved taking the God of War's tools. Because that is what a woodshed is often used for, maybe?
Griffyn612:
The only thing I'm familiar with, regarding woodsheds, is storing wood in them, and getting/giving a beating behind one. For the former, wood is kept in a separate shed because of the potential danger storing such materials.
The idiom for "knocking over" is in regards to stealing from a bank.
So, I'm siding with WF on this one. I think Ares' woodshed was the store of weapons in the vault, which Harry knocked over. As the god of war, Ares probably considers all weapons as his domain. Even if they're from a different pantheon.
(Also, Ares wasn't very popular, so I could totally see him being some asshat that would take offense even if it's not his to take)

I like that idea, they are weapons. But then why would they have been stored in Hades' vault? Is there a conflict between Hades and Ares on their disposition? Hades seemed fairly encouraging, so I'm not sure.

Well, Hell is a sort of prison and they had to go through Hell to get those weapons. So, I would say Hades was performing a courtesy.

People wear many hats. Jim said they became interested when he knocked over Ares wood shed, not that Ares was mad. Hades, and Ares can be the same person, with different Mantles. However they may be interested because Harry has some bad ass weapons now... And Demonreach... and Excalibur...
