The In Character Character Game: Part III

[Pyrex]

Having worked upward from being drugged into unconsciousness to just being semi-coherently-stoned, Mike responds with a bewildered

"Oh."


"Wait, wasn't Saruman the bad guy?"

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

Thomas shrugs. "I'm only following orders. Maybe we imported the Saruman from any of the mellenia before he turned evil."

 

[Dalamar]

"Or, considering that Raistlin was also in league with the two, not all things stay as they are when they are brought over."

 

[neoweasel]

"Raistlin was there? Was he wearing red or black robes? It could have been the period before he succumbed to evil."

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

"Who's this Raistlin fellow anyway? All I know about him is that when the Nodwick comic strip had a cross-setting mage battle, it was Elminster from the Forgotten Realms against him from Dragonlance, and he seemed pretty unpleasant then."

 

[neoweasel]

Andrew closes his eyes, sighs quietly and grumbles, "God, you're making me feel old. OK, you know what DragonLance is, right? Well Raistlin was the Wizard that was written into the original stories to break all the rules. I don't think he was that impressive in the gaming sessions (he died in the TPK in Xak Tsaroth) but once they started writing him as a fictional character rather than a gaming character, he got horrifically powerful. He switched orders from Red to Black - from Neutral to Evil - and cast spells that no Black robed mage had any business casting. He then tried to set himself up as a god, I think, and surprisingly enough got on the bad side of Takhisis - kinda like Tiamat only a Greater Goddess, capital 'G' capital 'G'. After that things went... poorly for him."

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

I smiled. "Don't feel too old; I know people younger than me who've read Dragonlance. That TPK was with a well, right? I think my friend told me about that. And Kender. Yeah, I kinda know Dragonlance." I lost the smile. "So, uh... what kind of robes was he wearing?

"Um, do we even know which direction to go?"

"Um, do we even know which direction to go?"

"Not particularly, but I'm not sure it's important. If we're meant to find him, we'll probably find him."

 

[ThoughtBubble]

"Thanks, I'm Mike. What's going on?"

"And I still say Goods is an easier name to remember then Mike. But it's nice to meet you anyway Mike." Daniel extends a hand. "I'm Daniel, and no, before you ask, I'm not always an ass." He smiles, obviously, it was supposed to be a joke, albiet a bad one.

"Anyway, the short logical version is that, as has been said, reality is collapsing in on itself. But, given all this dimension transplanting, it'd be funny if this was the normal world, and we're just all transplants, messing everything up."

"Um, do we even know which direction to go?"

"Yeah. East. Let's get out of here." Dan's going to glance around one more time to see if he can see anything special before going out the door, taking two steps in a random direction, and then looking back. "Which way's east again?"
