I'm disappointed "No clue at all" wasn't capitalized.

So the looming threat of losing the Mechanus assistance is definitely a pocket deus ex machina, but I have to wonder if they're hammering it in too hard for it to actually turn out that way. Might be a red herring.

Could just be the setup for a running gag. It seems like Xykon actually does have to actively try and "expend mental effort" in order to play by these rules. I can imagine exhaustion setting in.

Either way, it seems like the Modron got a good deal out of it.

You know, everything they say is written, but I wonder if there is any case for homonyms to trip him up? Words that sound the same, but have different spellings, and therefore different number of letters?

Like, describing a book as either "red" or "read".

What bothers me is that the MitD is actively trying to trip up Xykon. Why? I thought that MitD was on the eviler of the sides.

[Rolan7]

He was always more childlike than evil, really.  When he encounter Miko, or Haley and Belkar, he tried to play games with them rather than attack.

Then when O-Chul was imprisoned near MitD they had a lot of conversations, played some Go and shared meals.  O-Chul convinced MitD that Xykon is taking advantage of him.  Then MitD teleported O-Chul and V teleport to safety through unknown means.

Here in the canyon he's been trying to sabotage the search by "accidentally" painting extra doors that haven't been explored.  I don't think he has much of a plan, but he has turned against Team Evil pretty completely.

What bothers me is that the MitD is actively trying to trip up Xykon. Why? I thought that MitD was on the eviler of the sides.

MITD has been trying to stop Xykon for a long time. He straight-up saved the Order at Girard's Rift by convincing Xykon that O'Chul was the real heroic threat and the order was a bunch of nobodies.


Before his time with O'Chul, he was just sitting around doing whatever he was told because it was easier, but he was never actually evil. Just an unspecified juvenile monster of immense power.

[Mobbstar]

My respect for Blackwing who unpromptedly pursues the evil team.  (Though at this point we may as well call it the lawful team.)

MitD more overtly sabotaging Team Evil makes me randomly wonder a thing... how much of a threat is he, anyways? To Team Evil, that is.

He's been stomping the good guys unintentionally every time he interacted with one but I wonder if he's actually a threat to Redcloak and Xykon? I don't think sorcerors and clerics have any mind control spells but I'm not the most well-versed in DnD. Or I guess they could just plane shift MitD if he gets uppity and he'd take forever to get back on his own.

[Akura]

Hard to say. Xykon does have him under a magical compulsion(probably Geas) to kill Redcloak, eat him, and spit out his holy symbol if Redcloak ever betrays him. So I figure he's stronger than Redcloak, but weaker than Xykon.

New one's up.

Roy's definitely learned from Elan.

First rule of Soap Club: Don't talk about Soap Club

Hard to say. Xykon does have him under a magical compulsion(probably Geas) to kill Redcloak, eat him, and spit out his holy symbol if Redcloak ever betrays him. So I figure he's stronger than Redcloak, but weaker than Xykon.

I mean, MitD being under a Geas doesn't really confirm that he's weaker than Xykon. We know that he's a complete pushover, so Xykon could easily roll up with a contract and order him to say yes to it without any overt coercion.
