Calder wants to escape and mind-control a bunch of people, so stopping him from escaping is the Good thing to do, even if it's not the ideal tactic to save resources for today. And I think the Order at this point expects they might be able to get a long rest before Xycon finds the final dungeon.

Plus, Calder might just run into Xykon. There are several ways that could go and pretty much all of them would end badly. They might team up. Xykon could (probably easily) kill Calder, then reanimate him. He's done it before, and frankly whenever an undead dragon shows up things get pretty bad pretty fast even if though the undead dragon gets wiped in short order.

The Modron estimated a time span measured in days to complete the search, and it is theoretically impossible to shorten this significantly because they have to actually explore every tunnel to gain access. Unless Team Evil gets extremely lucky, the Order will be in position to recover anything short of actual death before the big showdown.

Plus there's the big issue that allowing Calder to escape might significantly hasten the showdown by revealing the trick.

That outburst actually looks pretty nice by this comic's standards.

Honestly, it would make sense to put a treasure pile of some kind in that room. Might make an invader think that was the purpose of fighting Calder instead of the real reason he was there.


I wonder if there's any JRPGs that have done that. Go through a bunch of hoops to fight a superboss, get a now-useless superitem as a reward, but the boss' room hides the game's true ending or something like that, but you wouldn't think that because the game gives you the treasure and you don't see any reason to check further.

Elden ring does that with one of the bosses. One of the ending options is locked behind that secret, but most people wouldn’t say it’s the best ending.

The real treasure was the achievements we unlocked along the way.

I appreciate the chaotic-evil gremlin (with character growth) being all "What?  Stop downplaying your contribution, you're on the 'don't stab' side.  Heal-bitches help just as much as DPS"

Also I love the dwarf-chick's character.  She identifies as a front-line fighter still, despite her healing being more useful.  And she has that nuance she whispered to Thor which we don't know and probably never will.  Her thing seems to be "low level NPCs are people too" and I'm here for it.

This is also some massive character growth from V.
