WAG: Nicodemus is lurking
Conspiracy Theorist:
It could draw blood from part of the White God, and Ethnui’s blood is what Harry needs to make a summoning and send Ethnui below. Ethnui is immortal, she might be hurt by these weapons but she can’t be killed, and she needs to be taken off the board permanently, so its either the Athame, summoning and Crystallisation or Harry writes an invitation to his next birthday party on Demonreach on the Placard , and hopes Ethnui politely waits until then and turns up so he can kill her, but that would be a breach of Guest Right.
morriswalters:
It will puncture the bronze of her skin to get the blood to use the crystal. The lance was used for the coup de grace in crucifixions meant to end the torture. In her case you only need the blood of a Titan. I would expect the sign might be a shield used to weaken the Titan so the lance can be used. But who knows what Jim really has in mind?
Conspiracy Theorist:
I think the Placard is a communications device, like what the Merlin did in Turncoat, but one that can easily cover 8 million people.
“Stay away from the Lake and stay in your homes, all CPD officers to muster at in full gear at ........, there is a major terrorist incident occurring in Chicago”
Harry think about the small people, and the Placard is what he can do to protect them

Probably.... BG #17, Mirror Mirror #18, wrestling #19, Denarians again #20.
Unless the splitting of PT/BG has changed the plan. But even if so, BG is basically the stuff that was meant to happen in the second part of PT when it was all book #16, so still no Nicodemus IMO.

Come to think of it, you're probably right. I was thinking that while the Swords remove supernatural advantages, the actual metal armor (even without its magical properties) might still block the sword on a purely physical level.
But the fact that Sanya "coincidentally" showed up means he Should be here, so it's likely.
And I think Michael cuts through a steel door in SmF. So "on mission" maybe the Swords can do more than just remove supernatural advantages. (In that scene Amoracchius also casts a light that destroys the Hobs...)
--- Quote ---Marcone doubtless has more bullets, but they may not physically go through the Bronze either,

Yeah, I really don't think so. I really doubt Gard's runes are good enough to break through god/titan level protections; Even Hand implies it might not have worked against Mag's shield without wearing down his energy reserves first.
Even physically... well, bronze isn't that great of a protection against bullets or militaries would still use metal armor, but Titanic Bronze might be super-good on the material-properties level even if its magical abilities are countered. Etri sounds like he's saying the alloy itself is special.
--- Quote ---Even Hand is I think quite important

I agree - for the fights against the Fomor army, but not so much Ethniu herself.

More a matter of bronze being too heavy.
