Honest question. Could Mimic disguise himself as a Golem? Everything I’ve read gives examples of them turning into beds, chests, doorways, etc, but states that while they cannot substantially change their size, they can disguise themselves as “any object”. Also,don’t Mimics have a pseudopod? Or is that being swept under the carpet under the “Let’s not stoop to Hentai jokes” rule?
Generally speaking, mimics touch the whole “shoe” issue by becoming a ten foot pole.
It might be kind of strange to think of this role…
So frankly, Mimic should get a wheel instead of a sole;
That way he’s always ready to lock and roll.
There’s also a line when Mr. Purple is hit by Roxy’s spell (see page 145);
“Next, you need a hat for the weather”.
That probably amounts to some variation of “Take cover”, “Cover your ears”, or some combination of those. I think “weather”=trouble as more of a concept than an exact word.
Drago’s last name is stromscale (yes, I spelled that correctly), which I think is where he got the team name from. While the weather thing is a fun coincidence, I think it is probably just coincidence and inadvertent foreshadowing. We know he is evil, and probably not on our heroes’ side, but I doubt he will be as major outside of the Games as some others will be.
I think you may have crossed off #4 on your list a tad too early there, Derek. Last I checked, no evils actually escaped the dungeon beneath the stadium as the result of a Doogan’s actions.
I mean, sure, your 8-ball’s been switched and is now is potentially at-large and possibly evil or at least exceptionally eldritch, and along with it is Malevolus who is very evil but not very bright nor very brave. While an evil’s definitely been released, there were no Doogans present at the time. Kris and Dirk escaped prior to Malevolus’s exit, during the disorientation from Roxy’s scream, and have been at the stadium with the rest of their team since; Rusty and Mimic should be able to provide an alibi. You escorted Stabitha out yourself; both you and Dorilys knew exactly where she was when the explosion happened.
Order is important, and you’ve probably jumped the gun here. *Use* that prophecy, Derek. You’re experienced enough with them to know how they work. Until the chest declares a champion, the Doogans are innocent if any evils get out from under the stadium. Please don’t go lawful-stupid and assume Dirk and Kris are the culprit of the release; they only *attempted* a jailbreak, they didn’t succeed.
Ah, but that’s all they did. Bring the cake. It was Anti-Madeline that did the freeing of Malevolus. Further, even if Dirk and Kris were culpable for Malevolus’s release due to bringing the cake, it was not “a Doogan” that brought the cake – it was *two* Doogans. Still doesn’t fit the prophecy.
The question here is… who is the one doing the freeing and which is the one being freed? It works both ways. And a Doogan WAS just freed from a cell beneath the stadium, afterall.
Oh, so when Anti-Madeline calls out from inside Malevolus’s armor who won the game, prophecy 3 will be fulfilled and the prophecies will be in end-game mode.

He can’t wear shoes, but he could technically wear shoe!
He could technically be a shoe. He’s a shoe in!
How does Mimic wear shoes?
Internally.
Bah, simple! He could turn himself into a shoe tree.
He could turn into furniture with legs.
Just what I was thinking, two words:
Table legs
If furniture with legs puts on shoes, does that make it a dresser?
Made my day!
So this was a three round tournament?
Well, this storyline/level) started in Sep 2015, so I’m going “Yep, three rounds, that all!” 🙂
Well mimic would turn into an unassuming piece of furniture like a shoe rack. Or that Leg Lamp from A Christmas Story.

With elegance, of course.
Dorylis is carrying wine kegs or gunpowder? Surely connected to the trap of the match.
Med Station! Probably Potion of Cure Moderate Wounds, industrial scale.
Ah, yes ORDER. How important!
I sense a great sealed evil about to have its can cracked open…

So, I’m noticing that Draco’s team logo is a thundercloud, wasn’t the halflings’ cant-word for trouble “weather”?
Just about, yeah. The exact line was “she doesn’t like bad weather” which translated to “we’re going to need protection soon.”
Here’s the comic, if you wanna look for yourself and brush up on halfling thieves’ cant: http://rustyandco.com/comic/level-8-6/

But who brought the cake down to the dungeon?
Ah, but that’s all they did. Bring the cake. It was Anti-Madeline that did the freeing of Malevolus. Further, even if Dirk and Kris were culpable for Malevolus’s release due to bringing the cake, it was not “a Doogan” that brought the cake – it was *two* Doogans. Still doesn’t fit the prophecy.
“An Evil Neath the Stade
A Doogan Shall Free”

I get it at last: ‘Wild Fun Guys’ = ‘Wild Fungi’.

Seems legit.
