Elan's eye

[Illsbane]

Before, during the time when Elan was playing at being Hinjo's bodyguard, he had on an eye-patch to fake personal growth and maturity.

Somehow, I get the sneaking suspicion that the coming confrontation near the crater which once housed the Draketooth pyramid may see Elan actually short one eye.

Why? Just a feeling. But it would follow the whole Luke - Darth Vader-theme for Tarquin to deprive Elan of a significant body-part, and Elan has foreshadowed this loss himself.

Given that they hung a lampshade on it during the rooftop fight I don't see Tarquin going that route, though I guess that would really depend on how Elan reacts to this assault on Roy now.

Also, I think our red-cloaked friend and his late brother have the market cornered on eyepatchs.

QFT. I think we have passed the pirate/nautical themed part of the story and RedCloak will remain our only eye-patched character for a bit.

Monopolists! There is a way to thwart such anticompetitive practices right now, and I think it will involve Tarquin's whip (http://elections.harpweek.com/1904/cartoon-1904-large.asp?UniqueID=47&Year=).

Plus O-Chul's got the huge scar across his face... I'm not sure what Tarquin could do. :smalltongue:

With a cleric able to cast restoration by his side, I somewhat have trouble to believe that Elan would chose to remain one-eyed.

[Kish]

I have a hard time believing Durkon would listen if he did.

If Elan actually loses an eye, I'm pretty sure it will be just long enough to make a joke about how easy it is for Durkon to remedy that little problem.

The fact that Rich put in a few Star Wars jokes (all of which were deliberately being made by the characters featured in them!) doesn't mean there is a Darth Vader/Luke Skywalker theme; everything Tarquin has said and done since making those jokes has illustrated more and more that Tarquin is a far more one-dimensional villain than the masked heavy-breathing choker.

[Psyren]

I wouldn't call Tarquin one-dimensional. I'd say he has a lot more depth than Vader, at least the Vader in the original trilogy. (For all that the prequels irritate me they did at least flesh out Vader's character a bit more.)

I thought it was supposed to be a big burn on the side of his face (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0763.html).

:elan:: "Oh, right. Like, a big burn on the side of my face, at the very least."

And a flying six-legged bison is going to come rescue them right after that! Like Fruit Pie the Sorcerer did!

OK, probably not. Likewise, I don't think Elan is going to lose a body part here. The whole point of this battle is, I think, to disrupt Star Wars theme / Tarquin's idea of a plot, namely, by having the whole party (save maybe Belkar, but I hope not) survive. Reinforcing the theme would not fit, I think.
