So, Xykon remembers Roy?
At least he remembers something. Is this a sign of respect or that the Lich takes him at least a bit serious?
Roy has tussled directly with Xykon twice by now and they, at their last meeting, had a long talk where Xykon recognized Roy as some sort of necessitiy for himself, as the Hero that makes the Villain to actually be the villain.
When he killed Roy, this is confirmed by The Giant, he did it with a certain respect.
So, how much is Xykon going to remember?
I also think there's some sort of Teamup coming. The Order has no other choice. If they now fight Team Evil, then Tarquin will grab the gate (even if they win). The smart thing would be to team up with the evil they know to the stop the evil they do not know, especially if the evil they do not know has already stombed your own team twice and made sure you have no chance. Is Roy going to turn Xykon as weapon against Tarquin?I feel naked. You all know my stats!

Re: So, Xykon remembers Roy?
Of course he remembers Roy. He's that guy. You know, the one who kept getting pissed off about, um, something:

Re: So, Xykon remembers Roy?
I don't think Xykon pays enough attention to know Roy by name yet...but he definitely remembers this guy, whoever he is. The one who jacked up his ride last time.
Xykon enjoys being opposed by heroes because they are interesting and give him something to do. He can never rest, he's awake 24/7 and he has to fill those hours with something. Besides, whenever he fights a hero, he always wins.How to turn off these annoying .sigs:
- Edit your profile options.
- Scroll down to "Visible Post Elements".
- Uncheck "Show Signatures".
- Save changes.
- Enjoy a much less cluttered and noisy forum.

Re: So, Xykon remembers Roy?
It seems pretty likely to me that this Xykon is an illusion: perhaps a shadow or a phantasm (such that it can deal real damage to the party and even kill them unless they disbelieve). This is what the runes along the wall were for: they read the thoughts of the party and presented them with their greatest fear.
Girard was an epic illusionist, and this is exactly what we'd expect for his final defense of his gate.Last edited by Admiral; 2013-04-29 at 10:13 AM.

Re: So, Xykon remembers Roy?
Given that he remembered Roy last time, why wouldn't he this time?

Re: So, Xykon remembers Roy?
I think it seems pretty likely that these guys are illusion, but we can't know for sure. I think that if Redcloak does have an eye-patch, then they're real. The Cloister prevents them from being scryed upon (unless Girard's epic spells can pierce the Cloister) so illusions of Xykon and Redcloak will appear as the Order knows them. Another indicator will be Redcloak's holy symbol; the new one is a different shape than Xykon's phylactery.

Of course. He's the guy who won him a prize on World's Funniest Protagonist Deaths.

Re: So, Xykon remembers Roy?
Of course Xykon remembers Bluepommel. He just doesn't pay enough attention to remember his name is Yellowedge. Redguard* will just have to deal with it.

Re: So, Xykon remembers Roy?
Xykon would also remember the buddy roy song. Which he sings part of in the strip after it is sung.

Re: So, Xykon remembers Roy?
Looks like Roy has found replacement casters for his party.
Edit: Actually even if Xykon doesn't remember who they are, Redcloak will recognize them. He did all the way back in Comic 426.Last edited by JSSheridan; 2013-04-29 at 01:04 PM.

Re: So, Xykon remembers Roy?
Does Roy know about Redcloak's eyepatch? O-chul definitely had a meeting with the Order... http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0670.html

Re: So, Xykon remembers Roy?
But they don't know about Xykon and Redcloak's personal drama. Even if O-Chul did tell them about the eye, they would've assumed he could easily Regenerate it. Unless the Resistance told Hinjo who told the OOTS for some reason.

Re: So, Xykon remembers Roy?
Its not that he recognizes Roy
He recognizes Elan, because he looks like Nale, who worked with Team Evil.
If only because that would piss off Roy even moreSpoiler
In the past, I played Sir Theo Roost.
I am soon to begin playing his heir, Dora the Destroya

Re: So, Xykon remembers Roy?
Someone has already pointed out that the Order is lucky V's not with them. Xykon remembers Roy as that annoying guy with a sword who keeps getting mad at him for some reason... but I think he remembers V much better and in much worse context.

Re: So, Xykon remembers Roy?
He always remembers him, but doesn't know his name. He remembers him as oh that guy, or that one who was mad at him for taking something.
He is real.

Re: So, Xykon remembers Roy?
Wild crazy theory time:
Xykon is not an illusion. He has, however, been trudging through a dungeon full of illusions.
He thinks Roy is an illusion.
Pretty crazy, huh? Well, here's the twist: "Not this guy again" means Xykon has been running into dozens of illusory Roys, and he's tired of it.
