Skingame - why was Nicodemus hurtable?
exartiem:
The purpose of Judas' Noose was to keep Judas alive, not to ease his suffering. I still think the noose responds proportionately with the severity of the wound. It wouldn't heal a stubbed toe.
I wonder if the noose even heals. Or does it just keep the wearer from dying and Anduriel does the healing. Thus, when the Sword kept Anduriel at bay, he could heal Nic.
dspringer1:
The evidence that Nic is immune to injury is pretty slim - basically that one scene with the bullets. And if we had never heard of the Noose, the explanation for that scene would be some combination of "Fallen making him tough to hurt" and "Fallen Pain blocking" and "Showmanship because it causes FEAR and that is good for any Fallen"
Do not get me wrong. I am sure that the Noose protects him from dying and I am also sure that the Noose will heal all injuries received while the Noose is worn (except for injuries caused by the Noose). But healing is not instant. So in a battle measured in seconds, the healing is not enough to create a big factor. But you notice that given a little time (aka - after they both race to the Michal's house", Nic is a lot better.
Faithmage:
He stole the shroud which is supposed to have healing properties, he brought Harry in to go after the grail, what if he is sick like with cancer and it’s something the noose doesn’t protect him from?
pcpoet:
it states in the book why Dresden can hurt nicodemus Dresden figured out that the noose protected nicodemus from death but he could be hurt with the noose on … fatal stab in the chest not fatal but hurts. Dresden also realized also that the one object protecting nicodamids can be used to kill him. So Dresden after hurting him enough to slow him down grabs the noose and uses it to try and kill him by choking the life out of him.
deadvoid:
the reason nicodemus' noose can be used to kill him is because at the least, the one weapon it can't protect its wearer from death is itself. the swords are probably the other.
