  • Every time the Porcelain Doctor pulls a Let's Get Dangerous!. Every. Single. Time.
    • Like the first time we get a glimpse of his swordsmanship; a low-ranking French aristocrat challenges Mordechai to a duel on the ship. The Porcelain Doctor only needs a strike to injure the other's hand (most likely irreparably), and it was so fast noone saw it.
    • Or when he was abducted? Of course, Gervas and the Merry Company rush to his rescue, but by the time our journalist manages to get inside, the nice doctor made good use of his pyrokinesis and general scariness to take care of his bindings and the ex-soldier who kidnapped him.

  • Louis of all people gets one, when stands up against Gervas, whom he thinks to be a vastly powerful aristocrat, and winning the argument.

  • Louis again, obliterating a drunk who badmouths Gervas and Mordechai. It is spectacular, and leaves our narrator with a mouth hanging open.

  • Gervas gets several, but him delivering a verbal Curb-Stomp Battle to the Queen's Sleuth might be the most shining example.

  • What about our beloved journalist breaking his chains and the cell door, then ripping down a locked steel bar gate from its hinges to rescue his friend?

  • Niall using his Death Glare against two wannabe bandits.

  • Or the Porcelain Doctor using his Meaningful Name to convince the accuser's champions to give up without a fight? That was something.

  • Niall crippling the duke of Kensington, for harrassing his wife and for feeling him up.

  • Arabell deserves a mention here; she managed to slip out of her parent's castle, and somehow successfully hiked through Scotland, crossed to Spania, and flew over to Africa, then infiltrated a military base to get to his former groom, all while only taking illusion partners and two suitcases. Girl's got bigger brass balls than most aristocrats, no wonder Cedric and Niall are impressed.
