The table was also made of wood, which is used to make paper, so rock beat paper if you torture the metaphor enough.

Re: This is irony correct?
Depends on what metals were in the rock. It could be irony ore it could be aluminumy. Maybe mithrily.

Re: This is irony correct?
Each one of us, alone, is but a drop in the sea
Our powers pale compared with the great heroes
Our battles don’t hit theheadlines or shake the earth
But they are few, can’t be everywhere, and we, many
So, when the world or universe needs saving, they come
But when people needs saving, we are the ones to appear
We're underdogs, but we rise up to the challenge to be heroes.

Re: This is irony correct?
I think that's more serendipity. Irony is the use of a word or phrase to mean something other than it's intended meaning. From Merriam Webster:
Definition of irony
1a : the use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning
b : a usually humorous or sardonic literary style or form characterized by irony
c : an ironic expression or utterance
2a(1) : incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result
(2) : an event or result marked by such incongruity
b : incongruity between a situation developed in a drama and the accompanying words or actions that is understood by the audience but not by the characters in the play
— called also dramatic irony, tragic irony
3 : a pretense of ignorance and of willingness to learn from another assumed in order to make the other's false conceptions conspicuous by adroit questioning
— called also Socratic ironyLast edited by NerdyKris; 2019-08-05 at 11:02 AM.

It's a table, and it's in the world, so yes.

Re: This is irony correct?
I owe Peelee 5 Quatloos. But I am going double or nothing that Durkon will be casting 8th level spells at the big finale.
I bet Goblin_Priest 5 quatloos that Xykon does not know RC has the phylactery at this point in the tale (#1139).

Re: This is irony correct?
I'd say it's more vindication that the living Gontor's worship wasn't misplaced, since rocks ended up saving the entire world.

Re: This is irony correct?
I dunno, it almost looked like the rock was just a dumb inert thing that Durkon and/or Thor used for their purposes, but they still had to do all the work.

An explanation of why MitD being any larger than Huge is implausible.
