Re: Unresolved Plot Point Collection Thread II
Changed plot point, since the IFCC have used 21 of their mins.

Re: Unresolved Plot Point Collection Thread II
There was once a thread on Nale and Elan. Specifically, it addressed "nature vs nurture", and whether Elan would have been evil if raised by his father, etc. If someone could find it, it would be very helpful to my point.
Anyway, when this question was asked, the Giant stepped in and put a kibosh on the whole thing, saying something to the effect of "answering this will spoil a plot point that will come later in the comic"
Therefore, I think this is an unresolved plot point; namely, what exactly caused Nale to be evil and Elan to be good? (or something to that effect)Avatar by Gurgleflep

OK, that works. I found the post, though.

The Lizardfolk ambassador came back. I thought he was a red herring to disguise the fact that Z was up to no good. He is not.

But 942 brings us the question:
What is Elan's plan for fighting the Empire of Blood?

Re: Unresolved Plot Point Collection Thread II
This seems like a good time to update my own list:
SpoilerA lot of loose threads (heh) have been resolved since last time: Girard's Gate, the Oracle's Durkon prophecy, the anti-spellcaster feat, Xykon's phylactery, who killed Penelope, and (as much as I hate how it was wound up) no one remembering Blackwing (there's still a question of how much Roy and Durkon remember of him but without anything Snarl-related being plausible it's not even a story angle). Also tweaked the Planet within the Planet item and removed Nale v. the IFCC as moot. Only new item is Elan's anti-Tarquin plan (Laurin's favor didn't even get a chance to be added to the list); let me know if you think I missed anything else.
DEFINITE STORY PILLARS (in this order)
Kraagor's Gate
The Ultimate Fate of the Snarl/Elan's Happy Ending/Eugene's Blood Oath/etc.
DEFINITE CHEKHOV'S GUNS
The Fate of Azure City
V's deal with the IFCC, and the IFCC's motivations
"I'm not what you call exactly-" (I could say possible, but...)
MitD's identity
Odin's Prophecy about Durkon
Belkar's Last Breath
The Dark One, The Plan and the Plight of Monster Races (could be a pillar)
Xykon's anti-Redcloak-betrayal spell on MitD (I could say possible, but...)
How Sabine is Haley's evil opposite
Daigo's last name
Celia's deal with Thieves' Guild/Guild's reaction to Haley breaking it (not quite the same as Lord Tyrinar/Ian Starshine)
Right-Eye's Daughter
The true nature of the Snarl and its relationship with the planet within the planet
Why Girard is really so pissed at Soon
Roy's plan for his Archon
The fate of Thog
POSSIBLE CHEKHOV'S GUNS
The Doubly Occupied Soul Gem (possible good-aligned soul splice in the future?)
Hilgya's return
Pompey's return (could be definite, actually)
"As for the elf-"
Miko's return (hey, Rich did say she'd have an impact on the rest of the story...)
Elan's last name
V's divorce (I don't think it'll be settled as easily as it was at the start of the book)
Kazumi's baby
Why Roy keeps mentioning Fyron's son
O-Chul's influence on MitD
Elan's anti-Tarquin plan
POSSIBLE STORY ANGLES
The Fates of Girard and Serini
Soon's Rift
Lirian's Rift
Dorukan's Rift
Eugene's promise not to visit family
ALMOST CERTAINLY NOT BEING EXPLORED
V's gender (and that of his/her family)Last edited by Morgan Wick; 2014-02-15 at 02:45 PM.

Now we know Shattersmith's favour. Keeping the wording of the two rift themed plot points though.

Re: Unresolved Plot Point Collection Thread II
Ohh, thanks. Now, if there was only a way to see those while reading the comic.

So a question on the rifts that seems to be an unresolved point, and even a "we know that we have been lied to, we just don't know by whom" point.
The rifts existed before the gates. The rifts were flaws in the construction of the prison for the snarl (said prison being our reality).
The gates were put up to protect the rifts, and to protect the people in this world from the rifts. That they could permit controlling the snarl was a side-effect, so the need to protect the rifts.
Now, we are told that if the gates fail, there will be about 15 minutes before the snarl destroys the world.
Excuse me? Rifts were there for untold time, and now are a 15 minute countdown?
Something here is not right.Not "fire at". I never used the word "at"

Re: Unresolved Plot Point Collection Thread II
Not untold time. Sixty-six years from the rifts opening to the Order's trial at Azure City. Maybe sixty-seven if it took a year for Lirian to notice that wildlife were disappearing. The Snarl's claws protruding into the main OotS world were powerful enough to kill an epic-level barbarian in the last few seconds before Kraagor's Gate was created.

Re: Unresolved Plot Point Collection Thread II
Was Kraagor epic? Anyway, what is an epic barbarian like? epic wizards get epic spells and can make spells themselves, what does a barbarian get? More HP and more damage, or is there some special stuff?

Re: Unresolved Plot Point Collection Thread II
In #64, Roy says “Some of my best friends are 3rd level fighters”. This seems strange to me, because I didn't get the impression from On the Origin of PCs that Roy has made many friends in fighter college. I don't think he means Durkon either, for Durkon is too good at casting divine spells to have multiclassed three levels of fighter. Anyway, Roy somehow has friends that were 3rd level fighters back then, may have gained levels since, and may have already had levels of other classes.
Do you suppose Roy's fighter friends will turn up later in the comic and help Roy in his quest?
