*** Any ships on the Columbia River at the time of the Change would have been disabled and would themselves become navigational obstacles. Barring a salvage operation that would be extremely time-consuming and expensive with the technology available, Astoria remains the only viable port for Portland. Portland's docks remain important for upriver transportation and the transshipment yards are still useable, however.
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: Rudi (and, on at least one occasion, Ignatius) versus any given High Seeker. {{spoiler|Especially after Rudi retrieves the Sword.}}
* [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]]: Signe, early in the first book. It's this experience which prompts her to [[Take a Level In Badass]].
** Mathilda is also taken hostage at least three times during the series. Justified in that as the Protector's daughter she has high political value to her potential captors. She also becomes quite capable of rescuing herself when necessary as she gets older.
* [[Distressed Dude in Distress]]: Ingolf gets captured with alarming frequency.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: "Son of the Bear Who Rules"... "Sword of the Lady"... [[King Arthur|Where have we heard those before...]]
* [[The Dragon]]: For Norman Arminger, Conrad Renfrew; for his wife Sandra, Tiphaine D'Ath.
