Knights of the Dinner Table/Headscratchers

• In the Retro strips in volume 66, BA designs a garbage disposal shaft for one of his dungeons with a sphere of annihilation at the bottom ("Design is Job One!"). The party, believing the shaft is highly important, climb down one by one and are all killed ("Players at the Grate"). This includes Sara's character Thorina. However, we know this isn't how Thorina meets her eventual demise, because the character's death was a major plot point in volume 28 ("Should've Been There"). There's no one to resurrect the characters, even if there were bodies to resurrect, and Sara has never been shown to make use of the protege system like the rest of the group does. So how is Thorina still in play after this episode?
  • Maybe B.A. reneged on that adventure. Maybe they used a coupon. Maybe Sara created another barbarian who was inspired by the legend of the original.

• The combined powers of the Circle of Sequestered Mages and the Dragon Committee are useless against a horde of pit bulls???
  • Hundreds of thousands of perpetually breeding ones. Remember, quantity has a quality all on its own; it's not for naught that they're known as the Doomsday Pack.
    • It still seems like a bunch of dragons doing fly-bys could just roast them all from the air.
    • Because of the rules typo about pit bull populations, anything short of total annihilation of the area (which would cause insane amounts of collateral damage) would be regrown from. Every time they come to a new town there's another massive pack to absorb, after all.

• What This Troper wants to know is when the other shoe is ever going to drop about Bob Herzog inadvertently helping those guys plan their robberies.
  • Not until after some live action experiences.

• How come nobody's had B.A.'s cat put down yet? The thing's totally asking for it.
