* As much a 3.5E D&D questions as an OotS one but in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0305.html Strip #305]] when sending a letter home to the High Priest of Thor, Durkon heavily implies he has had no news of his family since then by the time they reach the Western continent he has the spell Sending and when they go back to Dwarven lands it's show he uses it to contact his mother. So is it plausible or artistic license that he only gained it part way through the story? Is it a high level enough spell he didn't have access before?

*** I took it as a jab at his line of thinking that you should trust only family, since as you go further back into your family tree, you tend to get more a and more relatives (2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great grandparents etc), and that you can’t necessarily trust all of them, even if you’re related to them. Since V killed a black dragon, and that black dragons mother came back for revenge, and it was specifically her threat of killing V’s family that made V decide to not just kill the black dragon in their revenge, but everyone related to that dragon. Anyone can make stupid decisions that can affect you, family or not, since you can hardly know every single person you share some DNA with (however tiny) due to people having siblings, who have their own children, who have their own etc, and after a certain period of time elapses, you can’t possibly keep in touch with every single other person. Look at Haley and Ian Starshine. Haley learns to trust people outside her family, and it changes her for the better. Ian never does, and he becomes paranoid about anyone and everyone, except his own family, and it turns out it was his own brother who had been betraying him (to allow his own son, and Ian’s nephew, to open his own business).

** Even in D&D worlds where Maruts specifically do exist, we don't often see them hunting down NPC liches, even if that's literally one of their listed functions. It's narratively the PCs' job to do that. If anything, they exist more as a barrier to keep PCs from trying to become liches themselves.

** It occurred to me when I read the strip, I would be in a lot of trouble if I had to describe my close colleagues from work, after knowing many of them for 15-20 years. "He's about 6 foot, brown hair, crew cut... no I don't know what color his eyes are... about 200 pounds... do you have a professional sketch artist I can talk to?"

** Girard was a powerful illusionist. In a hypothetical scenario, if Soon and/or his paladins approached the (false) coordinates and noticed that they aren't entering a canyon, they would probably assume that Girad had used his magic to make the entire area look like a barren, uninteresting desert.

** And it seems that the gods don't have any idea about the planet in the rifts. There's definitely something strange going on...

** If my memory is correct, Maruts only go for people that are pursuing immortality or have to actively maintain it with rituals and the like. Once you gain passive immortality without limited lifespan (such becoming a lich) you're off the hook.

*** Thor [[https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1232.html spells out how the creation of races works in the OOTS-verse]]. ''None'' of the gods explicitly create entire species just to be cannon-fodder; they take turns making things whenever it's time to craft a new world, and they don't tamper with each others' creations during that process. Thor's comment on how Fenris tends to "get bored and turn all his attention to the more 'fun' monsters" suggests that, at least in the case of the goblins, the cause of their poor resources is that they're neglected by the god that chose to create them in the first place. Thor admits that while he and the other Good gods didn't ''cause'' the power gap they didn't exactly try to ''prevent'' it either, which is about the only thing you can really say they're guilty of.

*** Haley may actually be wrong by the rules [[note]](the potion gives a bonus to Bluff, and a successful Bluff can make "the target believe something that the character wants him to believe" without reference to whether the something is true or not, per the SRD)[[/note]] but it doesn't matter in this case: Ian ''already believes'' that Haley thinks Elan is a good person. He doesn't think she's ''lying'', he thinks she's ''wrong''.
