Yeah, the villains really need to rethink the size of the openings in the bars.

The only thing stopping anybody from getting out is the honor system.

The big secret about Cabbage is that he acts like an ineffectual, lazy has been so the villains leave Cuco and Almond tons of loopholes to exploit.

A Lot of Questions posted:

Honestly with the reveal that the Knight's in a cycle, I'm starting to think Cucumber might legitimately be the hero.I mean Almond is more adventurous, yes, but generations of adventurers haven't solved the problem,and Almond probably doesn't even want to. Cucumber, on the other, is sensible and might actually stop the Nightmare Knight, like when he wanted to get rid of the stones back at the castle. So maybe less about subverting gender expectations, more playing with what traits are actually heroic.

It's why I think Cucumber is the hero. Especially after the cycle reveal. Almond is the type you want there when a fire starts, because she'll put it out.

Cucumber is the guy that would suggest that you maybe don't keep your gunpowder next to the fireplace.

Solution: order a bunch of pizzas, save them for later. AMAZING.

I wonder of the pizzas just appear, or if a delivery guy just appears and expects to actually be paid. This is important to my plan.

Cabbage delivers them, leading Cordelia and the Nightmare Knight right to any possible resistance.

I wouldn't be surprised if Digi didn't just let that drain spell sit for at least a month. 80% of the audience will forget about it and then Cucumber will suck the lava out of a volcano or something.

I'm guessing this is it. Splashmaster gets the limbo bar down to 1 inch. Then Cucumber summons a drainhole so Nautilus can clear the bar when it's level to the ground.

I'm with the camp that they'll pull off actually defeating the Nightmare Knight. Because Almond won't see the point of the Disaster Stones if she can just slice Splashmaster into calamari.

Why did they need Cabbage in the first place?

The Hero's father or girlfriend needs to be imprisoned. And since Cuco doesn't have a girlfriend they just took Cabbage.

And by took I mean Cabbage invoked that hero business when Cordelia took over and he just kind of moved into the dungeon.

Almond wouldn't carry a purse. Then she might run into a situation where she'd have to put down her sword.

Wait why is Cabbage in prison?

I honestly think he found some rule stating that if he's held as a political prisoner he gets a pay hike while not having to actually do any work. The rule failed to account for things like being in your own kingdom's prison or an official making out a warrant for his own arrest.
