Can they do that? Given the importance of free will, I would think that the holder would have to choose to release the coin for that to happen.
Skin game spoiler
Did anyone else consider the symmetry in Harry sacrificing Susan and Nico sacrificing Deirdre. Of course it is not the same, but it is not so different either. If Nico and Deirdre believe they are saving the world from something and the only way to do it is by getting the artifacts.
Yeah, he was afraid she'd eat him.. I agree they weren't sixteen, but do not underestimate the power of the vamp venom... Fear of being killed trumps responsible birth control I think, so rope over condom.. No excuses though I agree, but age had nothing to do with it, lots of "adults" turn up pregnant. I doubt that either one of them even thought of the possibility that she might get pregnant, it wasn't their first sexual encounter after all.. So either they were very lucky before she was half turned and went away, or at least one of them was being responsible..
People can think whatever they like, it doesn't make them right.
TWG is the Enemy. If we assume Lucifer and Nic have vaguely aligned goals (as shown by Lucifer aiding Nic in his attempt to grab the Archive) then Lucifer is, per Jim, doing something like playing a game of chess against TWG. You gotta play the game to win it. Nemesis wants to metaphorically toss the board and scatter the pieces. And thus, while Nic/Lucifer may oppose Nemesis, the enemy is TWG.
I'm not saying that a Denarian could escape Demonreach. I'm saying that Lucifer would keep them out, or get them out (the Coin, not the person holding it).
I don't know that Lea's warning not to let Mab bring him to the table was about trying to dissuade Harry from becoming the Knight. It's possible - if Nemesis already had a solid grip on her by SK, it wouldn't want Winter to gain a starborn Knight.
But it's also possible Lea was concerned Mab might want to sacrifice Harry on the table to add his power - possibly even including the starborn aspect of it - to Winter.
Come to think of it, wouldn't burning Little Chicago have released all the stored up energy inside? Wouldn't that be equivalent to detonating several kilotons of TNT? I mean, Vittorio's little gauntlet was set on fire, and that exploded violently. The description of Little Chicago's energy reservoir leads me to believe it's exponentially larger and more potent. Hm.
1) Know LC existed,
Magic works on the same principles for everyone. If Maeve found that dry blood is useless to her, I think it's unlikely that it would work for the damn mutt
I mean tbh it seems unlikely. Remember SK? Maeve got all mad at Slate because the blood he brought her from Elaine was dried and useless. And Magical energies naturally bleed off with every sunrise.
That sort of thing tends to be very time-sensitive, and snoopy had been there a long time before Mouse found it.
I would argue that Bonnie is no more open to manipulation then bob. Bob is bound to serve the one who owns the skull. You need not manipulate him when you can just command him. I would assume that if Bonnie is a intellectual spirit just like bob then she too would be at the mercy of who is holding her skull. Also I agree with the post that her information that she contains would make her valuable depending on what she knows. But then again Bob knows how to kill an immortal.
Actually I think it would mean that He Who Walks Before was the Tank, and if Harry wasted too much time on him, he would have "focused" the Tank. Luckily Harry had Soulfire, and sent Before packing.
If Jim said that Cold Days was a clue about Rashid then it may be in fact that he locked down Alfred while others attacked a more vulnerable area. Sometimes the roll of the Tank is to protect the rest of a group (A Raid, where the group faces a Boss type character), or in this case, the Island from attack. One way to defeat the group is to lock down the Tank (through a mechanic known as crowd control), preventing them from providing protection.
For instance in a Raid the Tank focuses on grabbing aggro (aggression from the Boss), while the others launch an attack. It is an absolute must to keep the Tank alive, if the Tank dies the weaker classes get slaughtered by the Boss. Some ways this happens is the Tank gets crowd controlled (loss of control of character), and the Boss slaughters the group. If Rashid locked down or "focused" Alfred (contained him in a powerful Ward for example), that means the Island was vulnerable to attack from others.
