That made me rhink of and lose the Game

[Egan_BW]

You can only lose the game.
But remember, losing is Fun!

[EuchreJack]

He's not wrong.
Try not thinking about cruel flippers of entropy.

See? You can't.

Actually, it took me a solid minute to remember the comic and correctly deduct what that even meant.
Had I not wished to think about it, I could have easily just ignored it as nonsense.

Hypotheticals when cold, empirical evidence states you did think about it.

Do we, the omniscient readers, know what beans Redcloak almost spilled?  I, for one, do not know.

[Enemy post]

After Xykon lost his soul jar, Redcloak gave him a fake one. He’s keeping the real one in case he needs to kill him.

[MorleyDev]

Think it was less that he was gonna directly spill those beans and more concerned that if Xykon stops to consider it, then he just tipped Xykon off that he can track where he has been and importantly where he hasn't been, so can use that to hide things from Xykon.

Hell yeah, modrons.

I know, right?  On the one hand they're adorable, on the other hand I find Mechanus pretty interesting.  I like how this reinforces Redcloak's pattern of using pragmatic methods instead of always defaulting to evil.  No qualms, but not (wastefully) sadistic.  LE villains are scary, particularly true believers.  I still hope he works something out with Thor/Durkon in the end.

I'm particularly looking forward to the conclusion of his "alliance" with Xykon.  Xykon seemed very suspicious of Redcloak when Tsukiko died, and lied about having given her the ritual piece.  Yet he immediately dropped the issue like nothing was wrong.  He's certainly stupid, but bluff uses his casting stat...

[Great Order]

Oh no, Xykon very explicitly isn't stupid, he's just intensely lazy. If there's something that he feel he needs to do, he'll turn his attention to it and generally be damn smart about whatever needs doing.

One example is the energy drain. Repeatedly uses the same spell because he's lazy. Repeatedly uses the same spell that's really effective because he's also smart enough to do that.

[Kagus]

Yeah, he may be childish, inattentive, mercurial, and lazy... But none of that makes him dumb.
