Given Serini's kinship with monster races, it seems very likely that

The bugbears are friends with her, and are deliberately keeping her existence a secret from Xykon and Redcloak. MitD possibly as well.

Ooh, I like that. Plus it could mean that Oona is a goodguy after all and wouldn't that be great.

[crazyabe]

Alternatively, it isn't that they are deliberately keeping her a secret, but rather that Oona hasn't even Thought about mentioning her, and doesn't know it was Xykon that tried to kill her since they haven't talked about her with them.

[Remalle]

Oona is a bugbear, not a troll, by the by.
Edit: oops, missed a post, ignore me.

Huh, I wonder where she got that information from.

Although that flashback panel was indeed a flashback from O-Chul's perspective, Serini also knew that it was O-Chul's sword(wielded by Miko) that destroyed the gate. O-Chul himself refused to say precisely what happened in the throne room, unless Serini was scrying on that exact conversation between O-Chul and Hinjo. Which I don't think was actually possible since O-Chul should still have been under the effects of Dorukan's Xykon's Epic Cloister spell. Then again, in this strip, Celia specifically calls out the use of epic magic to penetrate Cloister. So, maybe?

I think that may just be an audience-aimed joke because of that fact.

But it's also fully possible Serini also has been spying on the other gates and/or researched what happened to them. She seems to be a magical inclined kind of rogue, don't she?

She's not wrong

[Akura]

She's also not entirely correct, either, due to lacking information about Redcloak's/TDO's true plan. Or (possibly) the nature of what's inside the rift.

[Culise]

She also missed another potential issue with what she considers Xykon's inevitable fall.  The easiest way to topple an evil overlord who's pinned a large amount of their power to a single, easily-destroyed power source is traditionally to destroy that power source.  Even if Xykon could ride the gates to power and wasn't being manipulated by Redcloak, it would create a whole host of heroes out to destroy the last remaining gate out of a misguided desire to stop him, because the fact that it is the only thing left concealing/sealing a god-destroying power and thus preventing the destruction of the world is not exactly conventional knowledge. 

Then again, her party never had a bard.  It had a rogue and an illusionist.

Elan beginning to wonder why he's friends with anyone in the party is a very relatable DND moment, like when your lawful good cleric is trying to find reasons to keep their party of murderous buffoons alive

[NRDL]

Man, I love these meta chapters that's just the party talking in a room. Character development confirmation is always nice.

Anyone else suddenly noticing the potentially bad plan of revealing the solution to the puzzle for the sake of one free turn against the BBEG after the halfling's speech? 

Surely there's other ways to get free turns against Xylon and crew, maybe come in behind them while they are already fighting monsters that are apparently capable of giving Xylon xp would be a better plan.
