BEHOLD, THE HEAD OF A TRAITOR …sort of …

Maybe they ought to go with that then – shatter a small mono-blade, and let the pieces play merry havoc. either break the blade off in someone and let the blade bits cause havoc as the person moves with it/them inside, or, I don’t know, set up/find a wind tunnel and let the blade shatter into a torrent of wind blown slivers into an opponent group. even in a light breeze that would give you decent odds of blinding/choking/throat slitting a couple of enemies (I’m thinking of a Thermopylae scenario at the moment).

@The_Rippy_One making the blade isn’t the problem, maintaining the integrity is the problem. We still have no definite understanding of exactly what Djinn and Celeste are capable of, so a mono-molecular blade may be easy to make, but super fragile because of how thin it is. IE: if you don’t make a perfectly straight cut, snap goes your sword.

On a side note, I love how this conversation has lasted all the way to the upload night, that is some AWESOME right there!

Actually, magically generated mono-blades might be relatively cheap, depending on how Sedja makes them. Think about it – she’d need to make less than an ounce of matter for a pretty good sized blade (certainly a lot less than Addy’s clothes or handcuffs required).

@Sulucamas forgot about that, point taken ^_^ (literally)

Sedja and magically sharp objects seems a good and bad idea at the same time, for various reasons, but who knows what’s going on in their minds.

@nikolai60: Binary's energy scythe seemed to do the trick. ;) I was honestly a little surprised Sedja didn't make a magically sharp blade, but maybe that wouldn't have been sporting enough.

@Vulpis oohhh, nice choice, but difficult to pull off. Plus fragility issues. If you can pull it off, and I admit that for an Efreet that could be entirely possible, you’ll only run into problems with extremely dense material. Just remember to cut completely straight else you’ll ruin that expensive blade.

@nikolai60 I was thinking of monomolecular edges, myself.

@Vulpis shaper edges only go so far, striking bone is still gonna slow if not outright stop the blades path. There’s only 3 ‘sword’ type weapons I can think of that would go through without much effort, and I’m not sure which (if any) of these are including in the LR galaxy:

Vibration weapons, whose serrations and rapid vibration significantly improve cutting power, expect a soft humming noise and bone can still cause some issues.

Energy blades, yes I know what I just suggested, but superheated anything goes through bone pretty easily. Also not silent though not super loud, batteries can be…problematic…

Chainblades, large and cumbersome, EXTREMELY messy, and if you can’t hear it coming something’s wrong.

Noxkitsune: You realize that it might be another year before someone else dies, right?

Jigsaw took her sweet and merry old time building up to this, and I think she’s going to give the next death a little time to build once the fallout from Xanatos’ murder is through.

Although, I do wonder if there won’t be a few Multikills or some Killing Sprees in upcoming Episodes of Last Resort.
