Who dies in Peace Talks
123Chikadee:
Oh, I agree with you, the whole killing off the mentor thing is such a cliche, but I'm torn between Eb getting killed in PT or somewhere else down the line. Though I think JB will put a refreshing twist on the idea. I just wanna see him cut loose, Changes was just a teaser lol.
KurtinStGeorge:
As much as Ebenezer is a good candidate to die; if we were taking bets I think a lot of people would predict this book is when he would go, I want Eb to live long enough to see Harry get out of being the Winter Knight so that if Ebenezer does die Harry then becomes the Blackstaff, just when he thought his life was becoming uncomplicated. I think that's something Jim would gleefully do.
123Chikadee:
Yeah I feel ya. It'd be cool if Eb was the one who helped Harry get out of the Winter Knight's mantle. I'm not that sold on the idea of Harry becoming the new Blackstaff, just not my cup of tee. Though I do agree that if Harry does become Blackstaff, he'll have to lose his mantle first. But yeah, I can totally see JB doing something like that.
I'm still thinking that Eb would fight L.Raith in PT and I can't really see both of them walking away from that.

If (as I have seen speculated) the Blackstaff itself is "Mother Winter's walking-stick" then putting it into the hands of the Winter Knight looks like all kinds of complications for Harry.
How could Jim possibly resist?

Eb already did. Took him about half a second to immobilize and humiliate her. It was a display of the kind of overwhelming superiority that cannot reasonably be opposed; and he wasn't even wielding the Blackstaff to do it -- just his own WC badassery...
Harry vs Lara would be something like a close match; advantage Lara if Harry has insufficient prep, advantage Harry if he has time.
Eb is at least a couple of steps up the power scale.

Exactly.

Unless Lara gets the same protection from magic her dad currently has. Then Ebenezer has difficulty doing anything to Lara. My guess is Eb could find something to slow Lara down, but outright killing her would be almost impossible.
