Re: On The Canyon's Illusions
And I just had an idea:
A dwarf loved to meld into stone so much that he began to pick up pieces of stone and they incorporated into his body. Then he started to leave pieces of himself behind until he became living stone.
Sorry, back to your previous program.

Re: On The Canyon's Illusions
Yeah in fairness that is basically the point of the Scribble vs the Stick -- I still think Serini is going to either be shocked or at least respect the overall cooperation and respect the OotS members have for each other.
Whether she does that before or after taking them all out Rambo-style is yet to be determined

Re: On The Canyon's Illusions
Hmm.
I think that might be the problem I have with her, actually, besides the obvious “trying to hamstring the protagonists’ actions” thing.
While her distrust with how well the OotS and the SG have done is understandable, her position is “well, let’s have someone clean up after this later” rather than “let’s do our best to stop it”.
I mean seriously, does she know how dangerous the Snarl is at all? She just seems to think of it as a generic doomsday device and the Order as dime-a-dozen noob adventurers.Cool elan Illithid Slayer by linkele.

Re: On The Canyon's Illusions
Shojo knows that, well, the Snarl butchered GODS. And she’s willing to let control of it fall into his phalanges(and yes I know there’s no way it will either way) on the off chance that some adventurer team will eventually be able to defeat him. Well breaking news lady, this is that friggin’ team for the love of Jesus Christ.

Re: On The Canyon's Illusions
Well, kind of...I feel like her specific problem is the opposite in some ways. She's too afraid of the Snarl, so much so that she wants to take the Rogue mentality of "live to fight another day" to its logical extreme of "let the Villain win for a few decades/centuries, because that's preferable to total eradication of (this iteration of) life.

Re: On The Canyon's Illusions
Personally I don't see a huge comparison between most of them. Girard was a great parallel to how Haley's upbringing screwed her up, and
but that's about all I've got.Spoiler: SoDLirian's/Dorukan's arrogance towards Xykon (and how he beat both of them with unconventional tactics) could also play off of V's arcane arrogance,

Re: On The Canyon's Illusions
Hmm. Well, it’s not like a single Scribbler corresponds to a single OotS member. Girard was a dual-wielding ranger(Belkar) and Cha-based caster(Elan) who specialized in subterfuge(Haley), for example.
But in personality, Elan seems to fit pretty well from what we know of her, yes.
Well, Soon failed where Roy overcame, I think.Last edited by danielxcutter; 2021-06-01 at 12:07 PM.

Re: On The Canyon's Illusions
I think even Elan would freak out if Haley and Roy started to try killing each other over Belkar's death of all things.
(Also I'm pretty sure Serini wasn't Girard's girlfriend and I'm absolutely certain that she did not idolize Soon. (By which I mean the two situations are hardly comparable.))Last edited by Metastachydium; 2021-06-01 at 12:15 PM.

Re: On The Canyon's Illusions
I tend to read that as teasing Soon with the idea to annoy him (and if his facial expresiion is anything to go by, he might agree with that assessment).
As for the hearts, „had a crush on him when Dorukan was still the new guy (and maybe later too)” and „they've been in a happy and fulfilling relationship for the last three-and-a-half books” are not quite the same thing if you ask me.

Are Serini and Minrah supposed to be parallel characters?

Re: On The Canyon's Illusions
There must be some sense of order - personal, political or dramatic - and if no one else is going to bring it to this world, I will.

Re: On The Canyon's Illusions
I mean, the Stickers aren't the reincarnations of the Scribblers or anything, but there is some intentional parallels/foiling going on. I don't think it's a coincidence there are six of them too.
The Order of the Scribble is a more powerful but ultimately failed version of the Order of the Stick.Forum Wisdom

Re: On The Canyon's Illusions
I think the parallels are less personal and more archetypal. Parties tend to have "someone who is idealistic and perhaps even naive," "someone who is distrustful and perhaps even paranoid," "someone who takes charge perhaps to the point of being callous," "someone who values some abstract goal (like magic, nature or their religion) perhaps even over people," "someone who is violent and might run the risk of being one-dimensional" and so on.
The parallels aren't about the characters themselves, but about the repeated stereotypes D&D parties tend to see.

Re: On The Canyon's Illusions
And there are six because the same players, (minus that guy who was a jerk and the DM's ex-girlfriend,) are playing the DM's last attempt to salvage his setting.
Yes, I know there are no players.

Re: On The Canyon's Illusions
In my experience there are four to six players at the table and when an ex-girlfriend or a player leaves another joins. The size of the party remains the same over long periods of time and across many campaigns.
