The Lord of the Rings Online/Fridge

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Fridge Brilliance

  • In The Lord of the Rings Online, there is a quest which temporarily gives you control over a mook, guarding a prison. You are tasked with cleaning out vermin and waking the sleeping guards, in preparation for a visit from the Big Bad. The Big Bad proceeds to interrogate a prisoner, but the interrogation is cut short by some intruders who are never seen (the quest ends just before they arrive). The time between doing the two quests may have had something to do with it, but it didn't occur to this troper until some time after finishing the quest that the intruders are in fact the Player Character and his/her group, who in a earlier questline were tasked with rescuing that prisoner.
