Skipping reading hearing the chanting of the terms and conditions is probably going to bite Redcloak later on. I wonder what the quinton is going to ask for payment.


I'm also going to predict that there will be a fight between Sunny and the quinton.

Well, now they are going to discover the ploy.

Even if the modrons don't notice the trap, Quinton is going to realize the internal spaces of the various dungeons overlap in a wrong way. In such a way, that they can't possibly be in the same wall on the same plane.


I think Redcloak already listened to the terms before, so unless they changed, he should be good to go.
However, I suspect not telling Quinton what they are searching for might harm team Xykon. Quinton might already know where the Gate is.

Nah, he said he's summoned the lesser modrons before, and knows that contract. Even similar software by the same publisher might have very different EULAs. Since it's a binding, magically enforced contract(which EULAs are generally not), it might be a good idea to read the fine print.

The quinton most certainly would not know where the Gate is, since the gods make absolutely sure that their planar residents know nothing about the cycle of worlds, as Thor mentioned to Durkon while he was being resurrected. The Arch-fiends did not until Sabine told them, and she didn't know until Nale found out about it.

I wonder if the crossbowmodron is strictly a basic rogue reference, or is also a subtle nod to Nordom from PS:T

It might be easier the way Xykon chose. Now he only has to check one word, not the whole sentence.

You know, training the guy who might become the future god of the universe to be a little more thoughtful is actually a powerfully orderly act.

Today's strip reminds us that Xykon is just Eric Cartman with magic powers.

So, I wonder what important spells consist of an even number of letters.

The original request also specified only that the sentence must end in a word containing an even number of letters, Xykon just switched it to odd instead of even.

But the final word is odd.

What about:
Mass Hold Person.
Fireball.
Teleport.
Symbol of Pain.

"Dumbass" is an odd number of letters, and he's already shown that he can cast spells with that at the end.

He's also holding a Superb Dispelling in reserve, but an extra insult at the end of the vocal component will resolve that just as nicely.

I was more thinking about which spells he would still be able to cast ;)
