Title: Did I miss something? [Battle Ground Spoilers]
Post by: Cruness on October 02, 2020, 01:32:11 PM

Hey all, been a while since I've posted anything. But something has been eating away at me and I wonder if anyone else has caught it.

After the battle, Harry thinks that Marcone is in a great position to claim the eye or the spear. Marcone doesn't. But later on after the scene on the water beetle, when he makes it to shore. He only mentions giving the Eye to Alfred for Safe keeping. I don't recall seeing any mention of the spear of destiny after he puts it away which is right after Marcone Vanishes behind a veil (establishing he is capable of subtle magic). I see four possibilities. 1) Marcone took it while veiled and used psychomancy to erase the act. 2) Justine/Nemesis took it from him in the water, and he was too zonked to realize it 3) He still has it ON HIM. (which seems a really bad Idea) 4) he gave it to Alfred but doesn't remember/didn't mention it. (Unlikely I think)

Did I miss something? What do you all think?

Yeah, Alfred got Harry back to shore, where Harry did give Alfred both the Spear and the Eye, told him to put them away, but he didn't want to know where.  So later in the Accord meeting he could truthfully claim he didn't know what happened to the Eye.. Technically he was telling the truth..

So last we heard Justine was still on the Water Beetle going somewhere on the lake.  So does Harry get a new boat now?

Lara mentions the boat being found run aground in indiana, and was repairable, in the last chapter.

I just went back to the line. Harry only gives Alfred the eye. The spear is not mentioned at all.

I thought it was, the Placard and what happened to Mac are not mentioned either.  The wake was at Mac's place, but he isn't mentioned.

Mac's place was intact which is telling.

Yes, but I'd of loved to have seen a conversation between Mac and Harry in the aftermath.  How
Murphy arrived at her fateful decision.

I agree with you, I was very worried about that. I thought that perhaps his mind had been compromised again and he has made to forgot about it but I think Alfred would have asked him for the Spear. Or perhaps not. I found it very, very worrisome, because the Spear is a real major Weapon, specially if Justine or Marcone are who took it. I was also worried because Harry mentioned taking his coat off in the boat, so perhaps the Spear was there? And Justine took it? But again, how Harry forgot about it.

Or he did something with it that he did not tell us...and that is almost as worrisome.

  Also he anticipated using the Spear at some point because he had the svartalves make a special fitting for it at the end of his staff.  That had to have been when he still was living at the apartment.  So that says he anticipated using it in the near future..  Also why was little Maggie sleeping on the sofa in the apartment when there was a perfectly good second bedroom that Molly never used because she wasn't ever there?
