I thought that the implication was that the demonroach was talking about the MitD.

Yep. You know, trying to work out what it is and all.
I got the impression that was the hammer over the top of the head to let people know the the MitD is smart and all if they hadn't got it by that point.

It was a joke... a reference to the threads on the official forums where people try to collate all the things the MitD has ever done to try to figure out what it is.

They're 300 posts into their ninth thread, with about 1500 posts being when they close a thread. So yeah, there's a little bit of discussion.

I find this funny, usually it's the good guys that do all the leg work and evil just waltzes on in.  This time it's the opposite.

Okay, so they haven't been casting a weeks-long ritual to bring a god-destroying abomination into the multiverse.


I have to ask, why were the gods trying to unmake the world now and not right before they're done(which is what was previously believed)?

Because the unmaking isn't to stop the Bad Guys from winning (Obviously they REALLY DON'T WANT that, but not enough to destroy everything), it's because if the last Gate goes down, everything and everyone (probbably) is destroyed, divine or no.

The danger as far as they know is the gate being destroyed by whatever those mortals are trying to do or the ensuing battle. which is not a definite moment, so better remake everything now, when they are sure to have enough time.

it should be noted that , while the gate being destroyed allows some time to act after the event, I am not really sure the ritual being completed has the same leniency. So, even in that case they might want to act well before the end of the ritual.

They might want to but they'll only be able to act with barely enough time to complete the deed.

Does anyone else find Redcloak story arc the most interesting? Cause, The Giant, is sticking to a lot of fantasy tropes, and is a good writer, the protagonists there, are eventually going to win, and gain most of their goals. And if any of them are going to die, its probably going to be the Halfing as part of his full redemption arc. Though The Bard is a good candidate too.

But Redcloak being a support character to the overall bad guy, means that he narrativly has the most freedom in his story. The only thing for certain for his future, is his eventual betrayal of the lich, and the possible 'having to team up with the good guys'.

Ah, but how do you know Redcloak isn't the real protagonist, eh?
