What's Odin's stake in things?

Something like a drainage line that bleeds the prisoners power out somewhere else to keep them from escaping. If Harry tapped into it I suspect he'd be tapping into the power of dark gods, and have their power at his disposal.

He'd be tapping into the magical equivalent of the /body heat/ of dark gods. Not the same thing as actually tapping or controlling their real Power. But yes, it is still just a ley line, the same one that Nic and all his magic-using nickleheads were tapping into during SmF without getting world-ending levels of power.

Oh ok. Of course they didn't stake claim to the Island and might not have full access to said Ley Line! haha

Hey do you think that's how some of them may have become Nemfected or something similar? Why Nicodemus suspects they are working with the other side? They became vulnerable when they tapped into the Ley Line?

Would Harry even need to make a deal with a Mab level entity? If a warlock tapped into that lay line running through there he could probably take down the world.

Somehow I doubt that Alfred would allow that. One reason Harry was successful doing the ritual the lead to him unwittingly into becoming Warden of the island in my opinion is the soul fire he added to his blood.. On the island Mab has to mind her p's and q's we saw that from her reaction at the end of Cold Days when Harry threatened to hand her over to Alfred when she threatened him.. When she came to get him in Skin Game she was careful to stay on the dock. This is a max prison for monsters, demons and even gods, whatever the power is, Harry has access to it.. However that doesn't follow that he has access off the island, but unleashing that power as we learn in Cold Days could take out the island and a goodly chunk of the Midwest with it..

No -- they only do the Demonreach thing at the end of SmF, and one of them was working with the Black Council/Circle/Whatever for the attack on Arctis Tor in PG. (Unless time travel is involved, of course...)
I also don't think Demonreach has anything specifically to do with Outsiders or Nemesis. I think that the plan in CD was just to use it as a means to cause destruction and chaos.
