This from someone in the US? At least those lords aren't bought and sold on the open market.
It's been shown that he's still in the team. He even asked for Paul's help in saving his brother from the Assassins Guild.
As opposed to Nabu/Lord of Order and Klarion/Lord of Chaos?
Well, that is a possibility, now.
And no doubt Ahri'ahn is expecting trouble of some kind. If he's been paying attention, he knows OL and his allies has been poking around. Which would make this the inevitable face-to-face confrontation between 'hero' and 'villain'. Which of them is which would depend on who you ask.
Wait, he's actually going to flatout ask Ahri'ahn what he's doing? Evidently his temper is worn thin.
And really, he should have been more diligent about getting up to date. A lot of his conflicts with the surface world might have been mitigated by a better understanding of them.
Because there are things you seem to be overlooking, blondie.
Good to know he's doing well for himself. Licensing his cold-ray tech is paying off, then.
I suppose that's the best way to frame Lex to someone like Ahri'ahn. Given that the old wizard probably hasn't heard of capitalism as a modern philosophy before.
Ah, it is indeed the confrontation part of the tale. And it seems OL's scored a hit or two there...
Come on, you know you want to monologue about your brilliant plan.
And if he's Gamemnae in disguise, that is a whale-sized red flag. She would know they're going to take exception to her, after all.
Yeah, you don't ask, you don't find out. To be fair, though, why would he ever have needed to ask about things like that? And I doubt he gets kaldur to speak about his personal adventures, which is where some of those details would come up...
A whole variety of methods to effectively endure the ages, or sidestep them. The effectiveness of each is somewhat variable, though.
Well, someone has a low opinion of Raven.
Should OL be poking him to see if he's made of clay now, or shall we wait until he throws the first blow?
Got to admit, he's right. At least from the typically selfish point of view of a mastermind. But some people take altruism to extremes.
Man, OL has really been pushed to his limits, hasn't he? I get the feeling he wants all this Atlantis stuff over with as much as some of us readers. That may just be arc fatigue talking, though.
From what I remember of the Obsidian Age story, he was a nice guy, once you got past the classical Heroic attitude about bloodshed.
Come on, yo must be itching to blab it all, 'Arry. Greatest piece of spellwork in Atlantis' history, and no-one knows about it?
...Wait, as in...
<sucks breath through teeth.> Oooh, big problem there...
It's funny how well that lines up with the Emotional Spectrum. Wonder if there's any other correlations...
It was that recent? I always got the impression her change happened eons ago...
And that is a thing. For instance, the current Despair is not the original. It's actually implied she was the murderer of her predecessor.
Which may have some crossover with delight, but ultimately has a more chaotic aspect.
You dun goofed. I guess even millennia-old super-wizards can have moments of stupid...
Now we get to see him flop-sweat as he realises how fucked he might be.
That was Shivering Jemmy. Delirium is far more powerful and far less sane.
it turns out that Ahri'ahn overlooked some critical information in his grand plan.
Blame the Controllers, or The Ophidian.
Thank you, corrected.
Didn't that happen a while ago? Maybe every mage that didn't skip centuries and is of high enough level to worry about the Endless knows Delight changed into Delirium for some reason.
I was rereading and found that although this character's name started out spelled this way, moving forward it was always spelled as 'Peldak'.
