Re: Prediction Page, (bring your quatloos, gps, and internets, you'll need them.)
247 quatloos that Elan's happy ending does not involve his death.
5 quatloos that Elan's happy ending involves Elan and Haley going to the world in the rift, becoming 3d via an art upgrade, and begin a new campaign in the new world.
Bonus 5 quatloos that Elan's story ends in a bed surrounded by children and grandchildren who listen to PawPaw Elan tell the story of Uncle Roy Greenhilt and the Blood Oath one last time.

A post-credits scene, if you will.
If you think "interesting" is an anticlimax, I feel sorry for you because it means you don't really know about interesting.

Re: Prediction Page, (bring your quatloos, gps, and internets, you'll need them.)
Two things, good Sir:
1. while Elan dying is merely extremely unlikely and a twist I'm not sure would work well anyhow, sorry, the Roy and Haley thing is just not going to happen, period;
2. I'm a FLOWER. Nothing about me is, or indeed, can be hidebound!
[Pedantry alert.] Technically, Teleportation wouldn't do much for him as the fortress is on the Astral plane.
Gimme an exchange rate for those quat-whatevers, and I'll gladly raise the stakes to double against that.

Re: Prediction Page, (bring your quatloos, gps, and internets, you'll need them.)
New prediction: the party is going to have to fight against MitD for a couple rounds before he realizes O-Chul is there and changes sides. Just long enough to put the party in serious danger from his overwhelming power, rather than having him switch sides instantly.
I bet one crypto coffee on this.If you think "interesting" is an anticlimax, I feel sorry for you because it means you don't really know about interesting.

Re: Prediction Page, (bring your quatloos, gps, and internets, you'll need them.)
I posted all this before a few times, in other threads, but will post here again as an "official" prediction. Or maybe someone didn't see it before.
1) Belkar won't die. All prophecies will be fullfilled by a game of words - examples: drawing weapon "his last breath ever" from scabbard, being short (he is halfling) and not long in this world, getting so rich that he doesn't need a saving fund and so on.
2) MitD is a creature from metaphor\popular saying\slogan\famous fairy tale etc, and doesn't appear in any version of DnD rules.
3) There might be a conversation with Snarl and he could tell a story very different from what we heard so far.
4) Party might defeat not only Snarl, but also gods and will get independence for Oots world, no one there will have to worry about mighty beings kill everyone just for their own reasons.
5) Azurites and goblins will live together in one settlement, with merged populace and government.Last edited by Edreyn; 2023-05-17 at 12:53 PM.

Re: Prediction Page, (bring your quatloos, gps, and internets, you'll need them.)
I'll take this one.
And this one.
And also this one.
This one too.
So here's the problem. I would like to bet against this one a thousand times, but i am only able to do so once. Such is life.Last edited by Peelee; 2023-05-17 at 12:59 PM.

Sometimes life leaves me with no other choice, you know?
Not sure what do to with mights bet-wise, but I'd put nice sums against both of those. Especially the latter.

Re: Prediction Page, (bring your quatloos, gps, and internets, you'll need them.)
I actually will bet against O-Chul being the reason specifically. MitD's friendship with O-Chul is well-established, and I think it's going to be an important piece of his growth to not just switch because he sees his friend on the other side, but because he realizes the other side are the good guys. I actually think it will be more interesting if MitD flips to save someone he doesn't know at all. I think Durkon and Vaarsuvius are the only members of the Order he's never seen before, although I don't think he's interacted with Elan, only seen him at Girard's Rift.
I'll bet against 1, 2, and 4 for sure. 3 and 5 aren't implausible but I think 3 is an extremely long shot and 2 is a long shot.

Re: Prediction Page, (bring your quatloos, gps, and internets, you'll need them.)
I personally agree we've spent too much time on guessing the species identity of MitD and not as much about his backstory and plot relevance.
The Astral Plane remark seems a good point in favor of this.
Definitely this (not sure about a conversation exactly, but something). We already know the deities don't know about the city in the rift.
I think this is tied to the above. MitD's "What gate?" gag could really be telling us that most characters misunderstand the Snarl's nature, whereas MitD sees things more clearly.Last edited by corydeburd; 2023-05-18 at 01:24 AM.

Re: Prediction Page, (bring your quatloos, gps, and internets, you'll need them.)
He saw V in the tower. Teleported the elf and O-Chul away to safety together. At this point it really is only Durkon he's never seen before from the core group. Though now there's also Minrah, Lien, Serini, Sunny and Mimi whom he could rescue from a tight spot, so your counter-bet still has merit.
If you think "interesting" is an anticlimax, I feel sorry for you because it means you don't really know about interesting.

My bad! In my defense, I am no sage.
In actual fact, he saw more of Durkon than most of the cast would probably like to.
