Pieces of Eden: Difference between revisions

* [[Everything's Squishier with Cephalopods]]: Nahuatl, the kraken who attacks during the time the main characters spend on a ship and is [[Kill It with Fire|promptly fired for it]].

* [[Foreshadowing]]: It's less obvious for people who haven't already read the notes for ''[[Literature/Silver Scales|Silver Scales]]'', but most of the characters who are involved in the background scheming don't seem to be even marginally friendly. They're not.

* [[Hero-Killer]]: Raaze and Rime.

* [[In Medias Res]]: How Altair's story begins.

* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: Well, this ''is'' a ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' setting. More to the point, one hybrid of two dragon subspecies is introduced. By that point, [[Fantastically Indifferent|Altair is not much more startled than usual.]]

** {{spoiler|Additionally, nearly every cast member Altair and Maria have met, barring one or two, are dragons in disguise.}}

* [[Random Encounters]]: When you get down to it, this is what most fights in the story boil down to unless the enemy combatants are given names.

* [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]]: {{spoiler|Altair and his group have been skipping a few rungs in the ladder--they run into Yttress, and epic-level opponent with a rough CR of 27, before Raaze and Rime, who each have a CR of roughly 16-19. Thankfully, [[Retired Monster|Yttress doesn't give enough of a damn about them to kill them]].}}

* [[The Stations of the Canon]]: Given that this story takes place around the time that the world is briefly reintroduced to Crenishinobon, the characters notice at least some of the events of that book. They even meet up with Jarlaxle and Entreri at Spirit Soaring after a fashion. And oddly enough, Oceanus confronts Yinochek on ideological rather than emotional grounds, as [[Call Forward|Entreri would later do]] during his an Jarlaxle's ''Sellswords'' trilogy.

* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: Raaze and Rime.

* [[Trapped in Another World]]: Altair, followed shortly thereafter by Maria, Malik, and a whole host of random Templars.
