Though the rest of the story gets averted, as they don't get the chance to make TheScrooge see the light, having been vanquished by [[ThePaladin Artix]] [[AxCrazy on sight]].
175	* The whole of the Water Orb quest chain is based on ''Literature/TheCallOfCthulhu'' by Creator/HPLovecraft. In fact the soundtrack during the bossfight is named "The Call of Kathool Achoo".

196	*** Doctor When mentioned taking the Hero to a place called "Stormca... Stormrage", a nod to the Doctor's on-off companion River Song being kept in a place called the "Stormcage Containment Facility".
