[QUOTE="Son of the Serpent, post: 7804311, member: 7015476"] No character's reputation matters. I think you are projecting. You seem to care a lot. Im just saying what i do or dont find to be likely. Its an opinion. He's unlikely to have just downed a bottle of stupid pills. Like i said. Dont really care, but mordenkainen probably didnt drop the ball. (Arcanaloths destroying all but one copy of a given manuscript or a given book and mass producing a changed version under the original author or a different author's name sometimes with outright "mistakes" peppered in intentionally is a long standing and many time repeated occurance in canon btw too. You should probably take that into consideration.) I do know that occams razor isnt always right. As a matter of fact im a big proponent of usually not bothering with its use. But it seems pretty appropriate here. Seeing as you have to buck some serious trends and more importantly tendancies (the difference between the two is a very relevant on here) to arrive at the 3rd option being more likely than the former 2. The most reasonable explanation is one that involves an arcanaloth doing typical arcanaloth things. The interesting question is "what does the arcanaloth getbout of this". If this wasnt due to lazy writing (i feel like thats unfortunatrly likely) then whatever its getting out of it its probably interesting. Many a magical tome, scroll, or deed has been embroiled in the bloodwar or similar things, seeming absolutely mundane until you pull the pin on the multiplanar grenade. [I]shrug[/I] (yeah. I dont know how to do the shrug emoticon here) [/QUOTE]
