Xykon's competancy.The sapphire guard turned out to have the 'COBRA' problem.  It's hard to make GI Joe look cool when thier enemies are so incompotent.Presumably this is the world's premier order of Paladins, charged with nothing less than protecting the world against something even the Gods are afraid of.  I fully expected Xykon to wipe the floor with the NPC's as easily as he wiped the floor with Roy - a quick calculation of the CR/EL would have told you that.  I figure Xykon's Charisma is around 30 and the save DC of the symbol was around 28.  But I also think that it went a little too easily even at that.  Xykon basically won on round one and there is no evidence anyone attacked him between the end of round 2 and the end of the fight around round 5 or 6.   IMO Xykon probably should have taken 6-10 attacks on round one and nearly as many on round 2 before the violence spread through the room.  He should be showing the cracks at this point, especially since the first few panels establish that the leaders are sufficiently compotent to overcome his AC and other defences.</blockquote>
