Mechanics: OOTS now vs Team Evil OR OOTS vs Serini

[Mike Havran]

Regardless, it's reasonable to assume Redcloak has gained some amount of levels. We can't say Epic with any certainty, but he's still quite a bit stronger than he was last time.

While I don't disagree per se, there is no evidence for it in the latest strips. Redcloak used one Implosion and nothing else he hadn't been capable of casting in SoD.

Yes, this.
There have always been a debate about this point, that can be found easily searching "sleep poisons vs elf" or something alike, but they should generally work, according to one of the big guys https://twitter.com/JeremyECrawford/...63358205255680

Wrong edition.

Have we established who other mysterious ambusher was? Serini had someone helping her carrying off Lien and O-Chul, and we don't know anything about them.

I suspect they'd be of help in Serini's fight against the order, but not knowing who and what they are it's hard to gauge in what role or extent.

There's probably plenty of theories, but my bet is on "another of the MitD's species".
