My views of justice are not very pleasant to many others.  So if it was up to me, I'd have tried to capture Demandred alive.  Then after the LB he could be tried for war crimes, found guilty, and put to death by slow impalement.  Many evil women but few evil men in the series get fates worse than death (see my thread discussing those fates), so a barbaric method of execution would even the scores.

If I was Demandred and wanted to draw Rand out, I would have done my best to seize Elayne, and brutally rape her.  Rand's warden bond would have drawn him like crazy.

True - which makes me wonder which Chosen had the skills to do a Two Rivers Accent. Doubt the Mask of Mirrors will do an accent for you.

Masema was with Rand for long periods from EotW till early TDR.

Hated him for most of that period and swore fealty to him after Falme.

They haven't met since.

Given the most unreasonable speed with which they've learned Common, talking about them immitating accents is a bit unrealisitc imho.

Presumably, the DO taught the Forsaken Common while they were trapped in Shayol Ghul all those years.

Trying to answer my own question

Fel was killed in the LoC epilogue. Specifically, by a Gholam that slid under his door.

That was in Carhein, in the same building where Barthanes was torn apart in TGH (offscreen and we dunno if Barthanes was actually done by a Gholam).

"Mat's gholam" made its presence known in Ebou Dar in ACoS and it was still there in WH.

After that, it seems to have followed him and the circus.

 

Was the Carhein Gholam the same as the Ebou Dar?

Timeline is difficult to work out.

According to Steve Cooper (http://www.stevenac.net/wot/tl1000.htm)

Fel is killed on Jan 3, 1000 NNE. Mat has been in Ebou Dar since Dec 4, 999.

The Gholam surfaces in the Rahad around Jan 9. Could it have got from Carhein to Ebou Dar in six day if it cannot use a Gate or Skim? So are we looking at two Gholams?

 

What about the Ways?  Shadowspawn can move through them OK unless they meet the Black Wind.

Killing a gholam using Gates would still be pretty damn difficult.  The gate would need to be at least as big as the gholam, and more likely MUCH bigger, since if the gholam can touch the sides, the gate will dissolve.  Getting the gholam through the gate would be tough, given that they can go all liquid on you.

maybe, though, trollocs (& fades?) cannot go through gateways.  I think the fact that a gholam is a construct would kill it when trying to pass through.

In that case, I guess one way to kill a gholam would be to lure it into unstoppable forward momentum, then open a gateway right ahead.

I think if Mat were to walk through the edge of a gateway, or be standing in the middle of it as it closed/opened, it would disrupt the weaves.  The gateway weaves are around the person walking through the opening.  As long as he didn't try to touch the edge, he should be fine.

 

The medallion probably would get cold though from standard proximity reactions. It doesn't only go cold when disrupting a weave.

So if a Gateway was made around a gholam to send it into the Skimming place or directly above a volcano, should that work?

How is Mat able to use Traveling gateways when he's wearing the foxhead medallion that nullifies weaves?  If he'd had to take it off before Traveling to Caemlyn in tGS, he'd have kicked up an almighty fuss, and you'd think the medallion still couldn't have gone through.  It appears that using these gateways won't get rid of the gholam, which also nullifies weaves, so this should apply to the medallion.
