** Redcloak (who is a goblin) tries this again while negotiating with Durkon with varying results. During their conversation, Redcloak angrily states that if Humans, Elves, Dwarves (among others) kill a village of Goblins, they're considered heroes, but if Goblins attack a human city, they're considered monsters. Durkon admits this is unfair, but when Redcloak refuses his suggestion of a peaceful solution in favor of Imploding Durkon, he asks Durkon how many goblins he, personally, has killed. Durkon responds that he hasn't killed as many as Redcloak himself, which strikes a nerve. Considering Redcloak's disregard for the lives of (Hob)Goblins (he only seems to care about them as a nebulous whole, rather than as individuals), Durkon is probably right.

Elan, normally a SpoonyBard, [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0596.html calls V on it]] in a manner that shows his growth as a character.
** And recently Vaarsuvius has been on the [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0642.html receiving end of an another lecture]] about [[spoiler: making a DealWithTheDevil]]. [[spoiler: Whilst V's stated intentions are that the Deal allowed access to further ability both to save loved ones in danger and to continue the quest to help save the world, both laudable goals, Vaarsuvius' mate challenged that it was more about V's ego, the need to solve the problem alone and V's ultimate desire to taste ultimate power -- a not entirely unreasonable charge, in light of the fact that V agreed to make the deal ''after'' being presented with an alternative that might have worked. Although it would not have worked, given later information that Durkon and Elan had left the fleet a few days earlier, Vaarsuvius was far too addled to weigh the actual chances of the plan, and simply focused on how it would have required the personal humiliation of requesting the help of others.]]
*** Although Vaarsuvius is already technically asking for the help of others by making the deal anyways.
*** It should be mentioned that the demons also pointed out the alternative plan had next to no chance of preventing the Ancient Black Dragon from killing the children, just from binding their souls and escaping. It wasn't just a matter of ego, V was also so obsessed with not failing again that s/he was willing to do ''anything'' to succeed this time.
** Earlier, during Roy's [[spoiler:initiation into the LawfulGood afterlife,]] he gets chewed out for abandoning Elan to bandits (he came around) and tolerating the obscenely evil antics of [[HeroicComedicSociopath Belkar]]. Roy does defend himself, however, freely acknowledging that he was wrong to do the former and to his credit realized it, and that in doing the latter he has managed to prevent Belkar from doing even ''worse'' things than he currently does under Roy's guidance.
** In another part of the story, Redcloak believes he is giving one to O-Chul for choosing to sacrifice several innocent lives just to keep a secret. Specifically, Redcloak is threatening to push them off a tower and into the reality tear if O-Chul won't reveal the secret of the gates (which he doesn't actually know, but Redcloak refuses to believe that). Redcloak gets so indignant over how callous the paladin is about innocent lives that he seems to forget ''he's'' the one threatening them. In the end, he lets the prisoners live, certain that seeing how little O-Chul cares about them will ruin their morale, but it only strengthens them to see his resolve.
*** To put things into perspective, Redcloak had used every spell and tactic to find out the secret he thought O-Chul knew, but it all resulted in proof that O-Chul didn't know what Redcloak wanted (He really didn't). Redcloak states that this can't be logical, and so tells O-Chul that he must have some secret ability that prevents certain information from being discovered. And the entire time Redcloak is dangling the prisoners, O-Chul says he would gladly tell Redcloak what he wants to know if he knew it, but can't because he doesn't.

** Earlier on, Hammer (rightfully) dresses down Kid for not taking a clear shot on an enemy fighter that had a lock on Bubblegum. If Quetz hadn't made a near-impossible shot to take her down, Bubblegum probably would have died. This also marks a turning point in their relationship as a case in which Hammer is required to discipline Kid, thus raising the question of whether they can be friends (or perhaps [[LesYay something]] [[CanNotSpitItOut more]]) as well as squad leader and subordinate.

** When Fooker returns, Dexter complains about him tampering with his memories to replace his feelings for Sharon (who had recently broken up with Dexter, and who was rekindling her relationship with Fooker) with Megan Morrone so that Dexter could not get together with her while Fooker was working with the UGA. Fooker admits the move was selfish, but notes that Sharon wouldn't necessarily have taken Dexter back if he hadn't done it, with which Dexter reluctantly agrees.
