    I don't think so. To me, it wasn't "a" Quickening. Emrys wasn't just an OLD Immortal. He was a mystic. Coltec was a mystic, too. He had purged Duncan once of evil, and I'm firmly in the camp that what the writers were going with was Duncan got his own evil back when he took Coltec.

    Darius never once tried to go back to his evil ways. Originally, I'm told, the idea was that what the other Immortal said to him before losing weighed heavily enough for him to change his ways. And we know about Kirin. Coltec wasn't a good man buried somewhere inside the evil that had overwhelmed him. He was gone.

    I got the impression when they pulled out Prophecy that Duncan's special Immortal gift might be the ability to consult with himself. To be the person he was (this was also mentioned in the evil of The Source). "Who I am is who I was." Duncan can always reset himself if he likes. Reach back to a younger version for consultation as though a different person.

        It is something I feel should have been addressed more in the entire Highlander universe. The thing is, with a Quickening, you are supposed to gain your opponents knowledge and strength. In Highlander III, Kane gained Nakano's illusion by killing him. We saw what happened in Something Wicked. Immortals like Kurgan, Kronos, Kell, and Kalas bring a whole lot of evil. Immortals like Ursa and Mikey Bellows who aren't all there. I do think these Quickenings would effect the recipient.

        • Caspian is full on going at it with Darius. The priest is doing his best, but the Horseman is just too much.

          Elsewhere, Gina and Amanda are going at it. Amanda suffers another hit.

          • Woohoo, double quickening! Methos takes out Voshin, Constantine takes out Cochran! I was waiting for one of those.

            74. Darius = 08

            * and for the record, imo Darius would fillet Caspian. Caspian is a crazy man and perhaps a berserker, but Darius ruled half the known world with his sword.

          • Kern, tired of being ignored and also a racist bleep, decides that Gina looks the least white and also like fun. He goes after her. Bad idea! Darius' intelligence and skill is keeping him ahead of Caspian, though it's a narrow thing. Methos is considering cementing as best possible the alliance of Jin Ke, Darius, Constantine, Amanda, Kyra, but is a little worried about Gina's willingness to go after anyone and everyone, even to wondering if her husband will be in for a terrible surprise when he comes in the battle.

                        • Cahill determines that Kern must be a demon by the looks of him, and that Gina therefore must be an angel. And so he goes to her aid hitting Kern from behind with his mace bringing him to his knees. Gina finishes him off. Cahill then drops to his knee proclaiming his loyalty and servitude to Gina in the name of God. Gina, bemused, decides to play ball, and invites Cahill to be her 'holy' bodyguard.

                                  • Darius (+) and Jin Ke (+) share a word, perhaps a quick strategy, and Jin Ke is Darius' man for good or ill. He reckons it's a dam site more good than ill this time. Caspian takes a hit. --

                                    • Jin Ke has second thoughts about joining Darius and leaves him to face Caspian alone. He notices a man trying to preach from the book of Leviticus. Jin goes towards him. He is preaching from that same book Darius spoke of. He can't be all bad. Perhaps he will have some sage words of advise for this soul that can't decide which way to go.

                                      Kincaid and Amanda face off. Things are even till Amanda breaks one of the heels on her shoe.

                                        Wait, so he has second thoughts about Darius, but is inclined towards the other guy because it's the same book Darius spoke of? Jin Ke needs Sean Burns.

                                      Pretty much. Everybody seems to have had Jin Ke go 20 different ways.

                                      I have had a few ideas. I thought everybody would be using the other participants and I was going to move towards Darius, Caspian, and Cahill (the dark quickening thing I referenced earlier) It might still work out.

                                      Merry Christmas everybody!

Cahill's strike took Gina by surprise despite her superior skill and she tries to regroup from his crazed assault clutching the wound in her belly. Cahill advances on her as he screams 'you tried to fool me demon, hiding in the form of an angel!'.
