OOTS #1209 - The Discussion Thread

[morikahn]

I haven't read all 22 pages of responses to this thread, but has anyone brought up the idea that maybe Durkon and Thor are wrong about what Redcloak and the Dark One are trying to do with the Snarl? If I remember right, Thor was the one that told Durkon what the goblins' plan supposedly is. When Durkon confronted Red Cloak about it, Red Cloak did not confirm that their plan was in fact to use the Snarl to threaten the gods. That is probably what Xykon intends to do, but Redcloak may have other ideas. There may be some key facts that are being withheld. Actually, we know there is something going on with the Snarl the audience (and the Gods) don't know about.

Redcloak may be playing an altogether different game and Durkon's proposal just doesn't fit into it. The whole conversation started out with Redcloak trying to determine what Durkon and his people knew and ended with Redcloak realizing Durkon was genuinely trying to help. It would explain the reluctance as he cast Implosion. He did appreciate the gesture but the stakes were much higher than Durkon could guess.
