Re: OOTS #1236 - The Discussion Thread
She's also going out of her way to give them amnesia juice instead of just stabbing them.
I'm not sure how strong the portal scam is without knowing the rest of the dungeon. But I think most mages or rogues wouldn't fully realize how it worked. They'd just disable the trap and move on. So if knowing the trick was important somehow it could still stall smarter parties for a while.

Re: OOTS #1236 - The Discussion Thread
Well, stabbing them might cause their allies to come looking, or someone might True Rez them. But I guess if she expects Xykon to get the Gate eventually that wouldn’t really matter.

Re: OOTS #1236 - The Discussion Thread
I wonder if someone in the order will realize in advance of contact that Serini's likely to be responsible for this? The suggestion or charm or whatever is much too subtle, conceptually, for anyone on Team Evil, I think. The bit about "bad creative choices" is knowledgeable and specific.

Re: OOTS #1236 - The Discussion Thread
Also, it's not of immediate relevance. Rogues generally can't cast enchantment spells, which means they could possibly deduce that this is not Serini but some unknown confederate. But that just puts you back at square one where you know essentially nothing about what you're dealing with. So who cares, really?

Re: OOTS #1236 - The Discussion Thread
If Serini can afford X teleport traps there is no reason she can't afford X*2 teleport traps - the Order could be anywhere and need to find another trap (possibly at higher difficulty) to get to the right dungeon.
I would be dubious about this but it is not unreasonable.
They (Roy) already think it is a random encounter - no reason for now for them to change that in any immediate timeframe.

Re: OOTS #1236 - The Discussion Thread
They have no idea if Serini is alive, but the possibility of "Team Serini" having some hand in the defenses is obvious, and surely they know it is not impossible for Serini to be alive. That said, Xykon got a diary somehow, which suggests Serini's demise.
This gambit is too subtle for Team Evil, as you say. It also fits within the vague parameters of how the two paladins mysteriously disappeared, though.
The Order will probably figure that out, but they are not going to have time to prepare any countertactics, as a team, because they have decided they are rushing to rescue Elan, in spite of the fact that following him screams trap. V, Haley, and Roy are smart enough that they might figure out something on the spot.I owe Peelee 5 Quatloos. But I am going double or nothing that Durkon will be casting 8th level spells at the big finale.
I bet Goblin_Priest 5 quatloos that Xykon does not know RC has the phylactery at this point in the tale (#1139).

Re: OOTS #1236 - The Discussion Thread
I don't think they know that Xykon has the diary. That said from what they know of both sides, charm seems unlikely. What they know about Kragors tomb was that it was built by Serini using tough monsters in honor of hers friend's value of strength. What they know about Xykon is that he's unlikely to use charm when a meteor swarm will do. either way I think you still have to go find your friend who ran off. That fact that we can see the swirly eyes and they cant apparently, and that we know that it is charm and they don't, is irrelevant.

Re: OOTS #1236 - The Discussion Thread
Yes, but they didn't take any action when wrestling registered the name/initials, which was why I initially sided with the wrestling org. However, on more research into the issue, I found their reasons for starting to push back and agree wholeheartedly so I no longer side against the conservationists about that.
Also, I got the name wrong. Fund, not Foundation.Cuthalion's art is the prettiest art of all the art. Like my avatar.

Re: OOTS #1236 - The Discussion Thread
The thing is the Azurites don't use a single color; they use a single hue. The use light blue, dark blue, black, white, glossy blue, off-white with a bluish tint. They sky's the limit, as long as it's blue.

Re: OOTS #1236 - The Discussion Thread
Well, goblins really have been shafted majorly. O-Chul’s the last person to deny that and Lien is a good enough person to understand if someone explains it to her. They obviously wouldn’t like it at all, but they probably wouldn’t need much persuasion when it comes to the general problem.
Of course considering what their predecessors were like, I don’t entirely blame Serini for not trusting the Guard if she does know about the Plan.
I’d ask if you read Freefall, but I know someone on this forum posting a link is how I learned about it and I don’t remember if that was you.Cool elan Illithid Slayer by linkele.

Re: OOTS #1236 - The Discussion Thread
The World Wildlife Fund were never that keen on the World Wrestling Foundation using their initials and after a court case in the 90s the pair came to an agreement where World Wrestling would use the initials under limited agreed upon circumstances apart from the in the US. The Wrestlers always more or less ignored it and when they started using wwf.com as their web address the World Wildlife Fund sued for them to stop using their initials.
