Man, that is one cruel GM.
The first time Roy asked "where is Xykon?" and the GM's oracle said "in his throne room". Unnecessarily cruel, but funny and I can understand it. It prompted Roy to dangle a kobold out the window by his ankle (nearly violating his LG alignment), which i can also understand.
Now he puts his MBA to use, drafts out a legally binding and well-thought out question that will get a specific answer, and the GM nerfs it! How cruel!
Why would Xykon pass within 1000 feet of one gate, if he was going to conquer another?
... I mean, if it's on the way?
It's less than a quarter mile...
...I'm fairly certain i can hit it with a spell from here...
c'mon?
EDIT: Ooohh... i just re-read the question! Roy's so certain that the azure city gate will be protected, that he doesn't even give it as an option! Xykon's taking that gate, then moving on to the other
it might take MONTHS! for the lich to get to the second gate...
BTW: Right four words, right being, right time, all the wrong reasons: "(name) I love you" (said to a god/goddess in disguise)... alternately, "Yes, I would, please".
Walk around behind the gift horse, get kicked in the head.
Elan is always happy, so the question is moot.
If they get him resurrected, but that's already been pointed out. I was thinking "raised" as an undead minion by the Loki cleric, who takes him back...
AM I the only one who noticed, it's Ginkgo
Bilboa?
