Re: Unresolved Plot Point Collection Thread II
I dunno if this is a "plot point" but the Death Squad seems like a Chekov's Gun to me - I'm sorta expecting them to show up again. Though I've been wrong before.

Re: Unresolved Plot Point Collection Thread II
I'm not sure this should really count as an "unresolved plot point" seeing as A. it doesn't really affect the plot point and B. The Giant has made it pretty clear this is not going to revealed; it's a riddle deliberately made to have no answer. (Contrast the case of the MitD, which is a riddle with a really hard answer.)

Re: Unresolved Plot Point Collection Thread II
For the first one: Roy and Durkon asked where Xykon was. The Oracle told them "In his throne room". Roy and Durkon tried to ask another question. They Oracle told them to bugger off. Roy dangled the bloody puke out a window. They got another question. They asked for the location of Xykon in a much more specific sense. The Oracle told them. They left.
For the second one: A retconjurer magicked his way over into OotS from Erfworld. Mischief Ensued.

Who did Durkon inflict with a colon tumor back from strip 7?
To find in order to lose; To fall in order to stand up
To freeze in order to ignite; To find myself within, and not fear the edge
To die in order to be reborn to the new world

Re: Unresolved Plot Point Collection Thread II
What happened to Dorukan's and Lirian's rifts?
Dorukan and xykon fought, xykon won, oots and xykon fought, xykon lost, elan made an explosion. With lirian's gate, it was implied that the goblins working for xykon had destroyed it, off screen afaik.

Re: Unresolved Plot Point Collection Thread II
Will Zz'dtri continue to be a regular Linear Guilder? (Could go along with Thog's fate.)
He means what happened to the open rifts. And the goblins didn't destroy Lirian's Gate.

Re: Unresolved Plot Point Collection Thread II
Why would anything have happened to the rifts after they became exposed, other than them sitting there?

Re: Unresolved Plot Point Collection Thread II
Someone else (besides the two paladins) may have noticed them and become involved in the plot, I guess.Either one of us needs our eyes checked out, or you have a pretty broad interpretation of purple.

Re: Unresolved Plot Point Collection Thread II
IIRC the rift of Azure City was the smaller of the five and look how large it is now . It's possible the other exposed rifts have grown too.

Re: Unresolved Plot Point Collection Thread II
How do you know what the answer to the 3rd question was? It could have been "Then whar be Xykon's throne room?" as the 2nd question (the Dungeon of Dorukan would be his response), then the extra question would have asked for a detailed description of the dungeon (supported by OtOoPC) and where it is, the exact coordinates, and the fastest route to the dungeon or if he recommends the scenic route, etc.

Re: Unresolved Plot Point Collection Thread II
Spoiler
So the song runs on, with shift and change,
Through the years that have no name,
And the late notes soar to a higher range,
But the theme is still the same.
Man's battle-cry and the guns' reply
Blend in with the old, old rhyme
That was traced in the score of the strata marks
While millenniums winked like campfire sparks
Down the winds of unguessed time. -- 4th Stanza, The Bad Lands, Badger Clark

Re: Unresolved Plot Point Collection Thread II
I don't understand the question about the "Crayons of Time". Asking if they "hide a secret" looks quite generic to me. Might as well ask if any story told by characters and not shown hides a secret.
Was there, originally, a specific reason to wonder and what was the doubt about, exactly? Just that the people telling this story were lying? That there was a hidden message inside the "Crayons of Time"?
PS: What is a "posthomonous" and where can I buy it? Also, who is Girad?

Re: Unresolved Plot Point Collection Thread II
Someone posted on this forum, saying that he believed Start of Darkness was real, but his friend was arguing that the whole book was merely "what Redcloak claims happened."
Rich responded that everything we saw in Start of Darkness actually happened and none of it was filtered through Redcloak...except the crayon section, which totally was filtered through Redcloak.Orth Plays: Currently Baldur's Gate II

Re: Unresolved Plot Point Collection Thread II
I think 804 answered that pretty clearly. Even the title of the page is "Where Her Loyalties Lie".

Re: Unresolved Plot Point Collection Thread II
Really? I think 804 served to lampshade how very ambiguous the question is at the moment, perhaps even to Sabine.

Re: Unresolved Plot Point Collection Thread II
Here's a question we can add: What is Redcloak's (and Right-Eye's) real name? (This might be one of those things that is never revealed, or it might finally be revealed when he and Xykon betray each other.)
