    Default Elan and xykon?

    Ok, so this is a bit “out there.” But keep in mind, has anyone ever seen that xykon and elan have been in the same room or even spoken to each other for more than a panel or two? There is this infamous “symbol of pain panel” but that is hardly conclusive. I In fact honestly Elan is the party member who has the least OVERTLY to do with xykon the lich. Given the current direction of the story I think we are headed for some third-act reveals and I do not think the Elan-xykon connection can be ruled out of hand or dismissed without thinking it through. Ideas, thoughts, etc.?

    Party member with the least to do about Xykon my foot! There is Belker, who motivations are pretty close "what is fun for me in this instant" and hints of long term planning. Plus, has anyone ever seen Belker and Xykon speaking to or near each other? Belker nearly comes right out and says he works for Xykon (520 anyone?) Elan doesn't know his lute from his vest, he isn't a secret agent.

    Also, pie is nice. What kind? I prefer chocolate or apple myself.

    The scouring of the Shire never happened. That's right. After reading books I, II, and III, I stopped reading when the One Ring was thrown into Mount Doom. The story ends there. Nothing worthwhile happened afterwards. Middle-Earth was saved.

    Your criteria applies to everyone in the party except Roy and Vaarsuvius. You also aren't really saying what the connection is aside from the fact that Xykon has only directly interacted with two of the six party members.

    Do you bite your thumb, good sir? I say, we shall battle now.

    According to random.org, I have rolled a 16 for my blow with a rubber chicken. How do you respond?

    Elan is also the only other male human in the party. But, clearly, I would not say that that is the only connection... Or the most important

    WAIT GUYS I HAVE A GROUDBREAKING THEORY

    WE NEVER HAVE SEEN LEEKY AND MINRAH IN THE SAME ROOM

    THEREFORE THEY ARE THE SAME PERSON


    Sorry to be rude this is just kinda ridiculous in my mind. Would not be surprised if this is a troll.

    That is clearly ridiculous. Minrah is obviously Miko (they both start with m), reincarnated as a dwarf by Leek Windstaff before he signed with The Linear Guild. To suggest otherwise is madness.

    Leeky is a time traveler?

    He existed before he signed up with them. I mean, since he and Xykon are friends, they probably posses the magics necessary to travel back in time, but I don't think it is necessary for this explanation. (Why the dwarves hate trees on the other hand...)

    But Miko wasn't dead until after Leeky had joined the Linear Guild (and parted ways with them, for that matter).

    Oh, I forgot. In that case, sure. Or not. The theory works either way. Maybe Minrah is sent back in time by Thor at some point.
