D&D Context[]
- The Bag of Tricks produces a random animal when the user reaches into it.
- Roy could also have attempted an Unarmed Strike, used the broken Greenhilt Sword as an improvised weapon, or attempted to Grapple the ogre. Ogres, however are very strong and thus difficult to grapple with.
Trivia[]
- Roy's quote, "Hi ho, Silver!" refers to the famous catchphrase of the radio, TV, and film character the Lone Ranger.
- Durkon's quote, "Ye have chosen... poorly" refers to grail-choosing scene in the 1989 Stephen Spielberg/George Lucas film, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
- This is the first appearance of "Hors D'Oeuvres", the weasel in Roy's Bag of Tricks.
