Line 61:
* [[Mooks]]: The Slayers
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: From bad to good -- from {{spoiler|another of Torquil's men dying by walls with [[Spikes of Doom]] closing in and the others in general peril}} to Lyssa and Colwyn happily meeting again. Also, a milder example in (paraphrased) dialogue:
{{quote|'''Ergo:''' If I had my wish, I'd be out of this gloomy place...if I'd ''really'' have my wish, I'd be sitting on a gooseberry pie as [[Big Eater|big as a mountain.]] No, that's a bit greedy...I'll settle for one as big as a house. What'd you wish for, Titch?
'''Titch:''' ''(ponders)'' A puppy.
'''Ergo:''' Only one? Why not a hundred?
'''Titch:''' Only want one.
'''Ergo:''' Well, that's a foolish wish...what about you, Rell, what'd you wish for?
'''[[The Comically Serious|Rell]]''': ''(gloomily)'' Ignorance. }}
* [[Nothing Is Scarier]]: Thanks to the [[Special Effects Failure]] in how the Beast was portrayed, rather like the shark in ''[[Jaws (film)|Jaws]]'' and the creature in ''[[Alien (franchise)|Alien]]'' it is more frightening when unseen, only sensed or heard breathing. [[Malevolent Architecture|The unsettling, surreal interior of the Black Fortress]] doesn't help.
Line 92:
* [[The Walls Are Closing In]]: Includes the [[Spikes of Doom|spiked walls]] version, and a gruesome death for one character who could have escaped but went back for his cherished knife.
* [[Wangst]]: [[In-Universe]] it's both justified and defied.
{{quote|'''Colwyn:'''
'''Ynyr:'''
* [[Woman Scorned]]: The Widow by Ynyr, in [[Backstory]].
* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]: Not if you're a Cyclops. Well, you can (as in, [[Do Not Go Gentle|refuse to go off into self-imposed exile]] to await your foreseen death), but [[Fate Worse Than Death|you'll regret it]]. [[Heroic Sacrifice|Rell doesn't]] -- he may regret the pain, but not the reason for it.
