What will happen in book three: HOA.

So much for staying on topic. Heh.

I dont mind, really. Atleast people are still voting...

[Miyabi]

I don't know.  I assume SOMEONE else will die.  I think it might be Marsh . . . I have a feeling he will end up being the body of Ruin and in turn will die.  As in our heroes will have to kill him. :/

I refuse to think so, i don't have a theory behind my objection--its just hard to swallow.

C'mon Iron-eyes, you can beat this . He'll beat. He'll beat it. He will. He'll beat it.....

I agree that Marsh has to die, though it will make me very sad when it happens.  But I think at least one other main character will die too.

Must you be so grim?

He won't Die!

if he does, i'll eat my hat--do you agree to do the same if he doesn't?

this challenge goes for you as well, miyabe!

[SarahG]

Well, I'm not sure I have a hat handy - but I'd be willing to eat a hat-shaped piece of chocolate!

(And now I'm hoping I'll be wrong.  Look what you've done.)

[VegasDev]

The only way Marsh dies is if he pulls the spike himself, which would be like Kelsier unflinchingly giving up his own life for the good of skaakind.

[SarahG]

I could see him doing that.  Or I could see another character pulling it for him, after he begs them to.

In my mind, there are some things worse than death.  Being remote controlled by Ruin (but still aware of it) would be one of them.  I could totally see this coming.

[GreenMonsta]

I still feel that Marsh will die with some sort of inner conflict. Not entirely in control but fighting Ruins control he makes a decision to sacrifice himself in someway to aid the "good guys". This might happen by having someone pull the spike or even he himself pulling it. It might even happen at lets say an ashmount possibly. Either way I feel it will happen.

Agreed happyman.

[you might want to redact those quotes too]

[Reaves]

But his spike is now covered by a steel plate, right?

uh, what? 

[VegasDev]

uh, what?

The steel plate, forgot about that. Yeah, how did that quote go again Ookla? I can't remember where to find it.

Shhhh, don't let him know we didn't read that yet.

[Reaves]

Uh, what?

Ah, yes I vaguely remember that...but can't seem to find the exact words. Care to help a poor blighter out?
