YMMV / Dice Funk Season 3 Ilium

• Complete Monster: Gylan Cadun is a vile member of the Order of the Merciful Sword who uses his position to indulge his sadism and prejudices. In the past, Gylan destroyed a village of peaceful Orcs, and when some of his men refused to participate, Gylan had Rolen Hawklight beaten and banished from the Order. When the vampire Count Danto attacked the Order, Gylan sold them out, killed any paladins that resisted, and willingly became a vampire servant of the tyrannical Danto. Gylan then began recruiting people to become vampires within the Order, allowing them to harass and murder whoever they please, and having dozens of people held captive and drained of their blood. When Rolen and Veltari confronted him, Gylan attempted to cut off Rolen's fingers, and then attempted to force a protesting Veltari to murder an innocent man.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Austin at one point jokes that "Dogs in space is Season 5" offhandedly. Come the actual Season 5? It's a Space Opera with Mini-Mecha's named after dogs.
• Magnificent Bastard:
  • Veltari began life as a street urchin but through her own skill became the personal assassin for Count Danto, killing the leaders of the Order of the Merciful Sword to expand his power. Arriving in Ilium, Veltari joins the Avant Guards. Befriending the troll Wulf, Veltari uses him to gain information and molds him into an ally that idolizes her while also boosting his self confidence. Forming a relationship with Carrie, the two plan to use a gem to cast Planar Binding on Warden Light to force him to destroy the Barrier around Ilium. Veltari helps form a plan to kill the powerful Lady Nim while using her death as a distraction to steal the gem from Penny. Eventually coming to regret her actions, Veltari admits her guilt to Wulf and Penny, with her sincerity causing them to forgive her. Veltari then leaves with Rolen to stop Danto, pretending to still work for him in order to lead him into an ambush and kill him. When Theodora attacks Ilium, Veltari uses Planar Binding to force her and the evil God Ghaunadaur to kill each other, ending the threat to the town.
  • Stellarosa "Stella" Magnificent Legrand is a magical prodigy whose brilliance made her a celebrity known as "the Rose". Recruited by the vampire Count Danto to help him conquer Akamoros, Stellarosa uses her influence to convince the populace to accept Danto's tyrannical rule. In exchange for her help, Stellarosa receives an impossibly complex puzzle box created by the God of Knowledge. When Veltari and Rolen lure Danto into a trap and defeat him in combat, Stellarosa murders Danto, revealing that she was always planning to kill him. After traveling to Illium, Stellarosa reveals she planned to use the puzzle box to remove her sister Zoey's wild magic which she accidentally gave to her as a child. When Illium is invaded, Stellarosa uses her magical might to help save the town before returning to Akamoros to help it recover.
