Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a 2023 action/fantasy/heist comedy film based upon the immensely popular tabletop RPG. The film is directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein (Game Night, Vacation), and stars Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Justice Smith, Regé-Jean Page, Sophia Lillis, and Hugh Grant.The film takes place in a separate continuity from the previous three films based off the game. Set in the world of the Forgotten Realms campaign, its plot concerns a Caper Crew led by the bard Edgin (Pine) who finds himself jailed with the party's barbarian Holga (Rodriguez) during a heist on the behalf of the mysterious wizard Sofina (Daisy Head). Two years later, Edgin and Holga escape prison and find that fellow party member Forge Fitzwilliam (Grant) has become the Lord of Neverwinter and is in possession of both Edgin's daughter (Chloe Coleman) and a magical tablet that was the subject of the crew's previous heist. Now Edgin and Holga must assemble a new crew to take back the tablet and Edgin's daughter... and unravel a scheme that puts all the land in grave peril.IDW published a Prequel comic book Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves – The Feast of the Moon in February, 2023. Prequel novels include Jaleigh Johnson's Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves: The Road to Neverwinter, focused on the period between Zia's death and Edgin's arrest, and E. K. Johnston's Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves: The Druid's Call, focused on Doric's backstory.The film was released on March 31, 2023, following a premiere at the South By Southwest film festival and a special screening for Amazon Prime members on March 19th. A television spin-off helmed by Rawson Marshall Thurber is also in development.Previews: Trailer, Behind the scenes featurette, Trailer 2, IGN clip, Meet The Creatures, International Trailer

When Sofina casts Time Stop at the final fight and approaches Edgin to kill him, a sharp-eyed viewer will notice he's not perfectly still. Five seconds later, it turns out that Simon had successfully Counterspelled the Time Stop and they were just pulling a fast one on Sofina so Kira could put the magic-dampening bracelet on her.

Honor Among Thieves: Title notwithstanding, Edgin's crew (with one exception) are tight-knit and well-meaning. They make a point of only stealing from people who can afford to lose it, and in the climax, they give up their score in order to save the entire city. Played with when Xenk the paladin trusts them to honor their oaths, not because they're thieves, but because Edgin is a former Harper. They do.

Bloodless Carnage
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_135b9977
comment
Bloodless Carnage: For a movie that features intense melee fights involving characters getting stabbed, slashed, smashed, crushed into the ground, even a few heads getting cut off and throats getting slit, there's a surprising lack of blood (though admittedly, a few examples could be justified due to the victims being undead and having no blood to shed). The most we get is a bit of blood on a dagger that pierces Holga's heart, and it's still way less than it should for an organ that literally pumps blood.

comment
Trailers Always Spoil: Forge is introduced as Edgin's friend and a valued member of their crew of thieves, but the film's trailer gives away that he becomes an antagonist. The first of the released trailers managed to spoil a perfectly set up Brick Joke regarding Edgin's lute playing, by showing both the setup and the payoff right after it, even if there is more than an hour of movie between those scenes.

comment
Never Split the Party: In true D&D tradition, the other contestants released into the arena for the High Sun Games who don't stick together are individually ambushed and killed by the displacer beast or the gelatinous cube. Holga nearly gets killed by a mimic when she splits off to check what looks like a chest, in the same scene.

Tempting Fate: As the group is entering the Underdark, Xenk tells them that if it gets too dark they can take his hand and he will lead them. Edgin, unsurprisingly, quips that he's not going to take his hand. Of course, he later gladly grabs Xenk's hand after the paladin saves him from being eaten by Themberchaud.

All There in the Manual
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_17ce80aa
comment
In a more direct sense, official statblocks for the main cast have been published, putting most of them in the level 16-18 range (the exceptions being Sofina, Forge, and Xenk at levels 19, 20, and 21 respectively). In game terms, this would place them among the strongest mortal beings in existence, with Simon in particular being only slightly less powerful than the Big Bad, but it wouldn't be nearly as entertaining to watch the heroes just curb-stomp everything for two hours.

No Prison Segregation: Lampshaded. Edgin and Holga are incarcerated together, and their new hobgoblin cellmate comments that he has never shared a prison cell with a female before (suggesting that it's unusual even in this setting). She promptly delivers a beatdown when he starts getting fresh with her.

comment
Sofina's true appearance is revealed during the final battle when it looks like she's managed to trap the party with another Time Stop spell; looking like a rotting corpse with tattered, moth-eaten robes. It's because Simon finally has the talent to counterspell it, the party were all faking being time-frozen to sell the ruse, and Kira used her invisibility necklace to move in and slap an Anti-Magic bracelet on the Red Wizard as she has her villainous rant — the moment her true undead form is unveiled being the moment Kira made her move.

 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: The trailers paint a slightly different picture of the film: instead of being duped into stealing a separate artifact by Forge, the trailers make it seem that Edgin and company willingly stole the Thayan horn for Sofina directly. In general, the trailers make it seem like the film has more apocalyptic stakes, whereas in the film Edgin and company's goal is to rescue Edgin's daughter, Kira, with Sofina's plot not becoming clear until the last third.

Violation of Common Sense: Under normal circumstances, you should never, ever, jump inside a gelatinous cube unless you want to be slowly dissolved by acid. Lucky for the party, Doric's plan works.

comment
The Cameo: Hank, Eric, Diana, Presto, Sheila and Bobby — the six protagonists of Dungeons & Dragons — are shown among the competing groups of adventurers at the High Sun Games. They are even named as such in the credits. Bradley Cooper makes a brief appearance as Holga's ex-husband. Paul Scheer shows up on a painting that the party smuggles a portal from the Hither-Thither Staff under. In-universe, it appears to be recurring Forgotten Realms character Volothamp Geddarm. Tom Morello appears as Kimathi Stomhollow, the dwarf in the High Sun Games who gets eaten by the Displacer Beast. In the Australian edit of the film, Aunty Donna provide the voices of the corpses. French duo Frédéric "Fred" Molas and Sébastien "Seb" Rassiat from Joueur du Grenier have a voice-only cameo in the French version, alongside French streamer Alphacast (all three of which are big tabletop fans), as the undead in the cemetery.

Visual Pun: Xenk rescues a child Tabaxi (humanoid cat) from the mouth of a giant catfish. In effect, he literally fished the cat out of a catfish. When Xenk leaves the party, he continues walking a surprisingly straight line down the beach, even right over a boulder he could have walked around. He's walking the straight and narrow path, alluding to the morally upright lifestyle that a Paladin must adhere to. A hot air balloon bearing Forge's likeness is used to shower the party's stolen treasure over the city of Neverwinter, luring the crowd in the stadium out into the streets and beyond the reach of Sofina's Beckoning Death. Look closely at the placement of the portal... They put Forge's money where his mouth is. In the final battle against Sofina, she and Simon face off with their own versions of Bigby's hand... it's a hand-to-hand combat.

Comfort the Dying: The final barbarian corpse interrogated by the party finally gives them a lead on the Helm of Disjunction: he had barely escaped the battle and was on the verge of death, only for wandering paladin Xenk to stumble upon him. According to the barbarian, Xenk somehow made him feel like everything was going to be okay, despite his impending death.

Stealth Pun: The first thing we see Xenk do is rescue a Tabaxi cub that was swallowed by a giant fish. He literally saves the cat.note A common screenwriting term for a protagonist doing something good as an Establishing Character Moment to make the audience like them. The city of Neverwinter is somewhat famous throughout Faerûn, and the Neverwinter Nights games helped make it that way. Near the end of the film, Sofina casts her spell to darken the sky, turning it into a Neverwinter Night. Sofina casts Bigby's Hand to go after Doric, which prompts Simon to do the same to stop her. It's Hand to Hand combat.

Voluntary Shapeshifting
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_1fb440a6
comment
While the film is largely faithful in preserving game mechanics, it willfully fudges around the nature of some elements that would make more sense for a movie, both in terms of narrative balance and drama. For example, Doric is able to Wild Shape far more often than a typical Druid could in gameplay, but neither she nor Edgin are shown using any other magic associated with their classes in order to emphasize Simon's role as the party's Sorcerer. The story also makes a big deal out of attunement: in the game, it's a nominal gameplay element for balance purposesnote In 5e rules, each character is only allowed to attune with up to three different items at a time — its purpose is to prevent players from stacking up on too many powerful items at once, thus potentially breaking game balance that usually just requires a user to be with the magic item of choice for about an hour, but in this film, it's a much more arduous and magically-involved test of character that Simon struggles with and informs much of his personal character arc (though that also might just be due to Simon's horrible control of magic due to his insecurity).

It Only Works Once
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_20e6a6e7
comment
It Only Works Once: Edgin's goal is to retrieve a Tablet of Reawakening that can bring anyone back to life no matter what killed them, wanting to use it to restore his wife and Kira's mother. Ultimately, he and Kira use it to bring Holga back to life after she's killed in the final battle, as Holga has been Kira's maternal figure and part of Edgin's life as long as Kira can remember. Done humorously in the end where Forge thought he could he could reuse Edgin and Holga's escape plan only to learn that the parole board bricked the window shut to avoid that scenario again. Downplayed with the Speak with Dead spell. Once you ask the resurrected corpse five questions, it's Killed Off for Real and can't be revived, but you can just cast the spell again on another corpse.

Family of Choice: Edgin spends the film trying to resurrect his wife so that he and his daughter can be a proper family again. By the end he realizes that the party members are already his "people", and that it's just as true, if not moreso, to say that Kira's "parents" are the ones who raised her, himself and Holga.

Failed a Spot Check: The guards behind a moving carriage are too busy chatting with each other to notice Simon struggling to hold on to its underside via a magic portal, and when they spot Holga hanging onto what looks like a pair of legs sticking out from the ground a smile and wave from her is enough to shake any suspicion off. This is rather more literal than most, (3rd Edition) D&D is the Trope Namer for Failed a Spot Check (5th Edition would be "Failed a Perception Check" or "Too Low Passive Perception").

Chekhov's Boomerang: The Hither-Thither staff the party accidentally discover turns out to be more useful than the Helm of Disjunction they're actually questing for. They use it to get the Helm of Disjunction, find the treasure they took the Helm of Disjunction to get, and ultimately scatter said treasure to lure the populace out of the range of the Big Bad's undeath ritual.

Black Comedy: Most of the cemetery scene, which involves awakening dead barbarians from their eternal slumber and having them recall their untimely demises in a past battle, is made absolutely hilarious despite the apparently grim matter. First with the party messing up the questions asked through speak with dead, and then with how sudden or undignified the deaths were — including one man who never saw the battle, but slipped and broke his neck on the same morning while exiting his bath.

Chekhov's Gag: The little flame Simon conjures on his finger is introduced to show how bad he is with magic. Later in the film, Edgin gets the idea to use it to ignite Themberchaud's inflammable breath, blasting open the cavern the party is trapped in and allowing them to escape. Forge has a hot-air balloon with his face on it, which initially seems purely to show how egotistical he is. During the climax, Edgin casts one end of a Hither-Thither portal on it to disperse treasure across the streets of Neverwinter, getting the audience to leave the stadium to gather it and removing them from the range of Sofina's spell.

comment
Chekhov's Gun: Kira's pendant that allows her to turn invisible plays an important role in defeating Sofina. The walking stick Holga gave her ex-husband turns out to be a Hither-Thither Staff that creates portals within a certain distance, allowing Simon to teleport the team at key moments. When Edgin and his company are raiding the fortress for the Tablet of Reawakening the first time, the Thayan horn is visible and the camera even lingers on it for a few seconds before fading off. This was Sofina's actual reason for partnering with Edgin; his connection to the Harpers allowed her to enter where she could not. Sofina's plot is to use the Horn during the High Sun Games to summon another instance of the Beckoning Death spell to try and turn the entire Neverwinter populace into an army of undead servants. The Anti-Magic bracelets used on Doric and Simon in the maze are used to stop Sofina at the end, when Kira sneaks them onto her using the aforementioned pendant. There's even a lingering shot of them while the gang is reequipping. At one point, Edgin dreams about happier times with his wife and reminisces about a time he was trying and failing to catch an annoying dragonfly in their cottage. His wife suggests letting it go instead of capturing or killing it. When Holga literally dies in his arms much later, a dragonfly picks that moment to land on his arm. This lets him realize the significance of Zia's words and guides him to revive Holga with the Tablet of Reawakening and embrace his new life/family.

Adaptation Deviation
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_23a1e2a9
comment
Adaptation Deviation: Two key moments in the plot rest on the Time Stop spell immobilizing people in a room-sized bubble, once for several minutes (or longer), with an effect that sets in gradually over a few seconds. In the tabletop game, Time Stop happens instantly, affects everything in a 1000-foot radius, and only lasts for at most 1 minute of subjective time for the caster. The spell in the movie is a much closer fit for Mass Hold Person, but of course that name would be gibberish to a general audience. Most fantasy races are represented very faithfully to the lore of the games, but one exception are halflings; rather than resembling naturally short humans with stocky proportions, they instead feature the same natural body composition of humans, but scaled down by about half.note This is more accurate to their depictions in Third and Fourth Editions, but not to either Fifth Edition or anything that came earlier. Most of the characters are members of a recognizable character class, but that class's abilities are significantly reduced to avoid making each powerset too complex. For example, Edgin, Doric, and Xenk are never implied to even be capable of casting spells, abilities that all their classes have in-game (Druids even get spellcasting at an earlier level than Doric's signature Wild Shape ability).

Not one of them appears to run away when tendrils of eldritch darkness start streaking down from the sky and an ominous red cloud starts billowing from the center; it takes a hot air balloon spewing treasure from the sky to whip them into a frenzy and get them to leave.

Mythology Gag: One of the other teams in the arena during the High Sun Games are the kids from the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon series. When Forge betrays Edgin and Holga, Sofina restrains the two by turning the floor into quicksand very similar to the trap shown in the 2000 Dungeons & Dragons movie. The standard scale in the tabletop game for determining distances are squares of five feet by five feet, just like the arena used for the High Sun games that rise and fall to form the walls of a maze.

Blood Sport: The High Sun Games, where adventurers are hunted by monsters through a slowly-shrinking maze. They can find weapons in chests, but some chests may be mimics. It's implied that few people, if any, live to reach the end. The previous Lord of Neverwinter had them banned for being too barbaric, but Forge has reinstated them so that he can steal all the money placed by the wealthy betting on the games and Sofina can cast her spell on all the audience members.

Uncertain Doom: Hank, Eric, Diana, Presto, Sheila and Bobby (the six protagonists of Dungeons & Dragons) are last seen inside a cage in the arena during the High Sun Games, having learned from Edgin and his party that the games are rigged and they'll die if they stay. Afterwards, when Sofina unleashes her spell, the middle of the arena where they were last seen is the only part of the city really affected, so things are not looking well for their survival, but they don't die onscreen and the warning they got from the protagonists might've given them enough of a heads up to escape.

Later as the heroes act out their plan, they use the Hither-Thither Staff to cast a portal onto a painting that gets snuck into the castle's vault, which they intend to use as an easy way in. This gets thwarted as the guard bringing the painting in carelessly lets it drop face-down onto the floor, thus treating the heroes to a portal that leads directly into solid concrete, forcing them to think of another way to get in. The group briefly discusses why anyone would just let a fancy painting fall onto the floor like that to begin with.

Five-Second Foreshadowing: The fact that Edgin and Holga have already been pardoned and their escape is unnecessary is foreshadowed a few seconds before the reveal by the fact that the document with the decision has already been sealed with green wax. To hammer home this point, the end of the movie shows Forge's failed pardon being stamped with red wax. When Sofina casts Time Stop at the final fight and approaches Edgin to kill him, a sharp-eyed viewer will notice he's not perfectly still. Five seconds later, it turns out that Simon had successfully Counterspelled the Time Stop and they were just pulling a fast one on Sofina so Kira could put the magic-dampening bracelet on her.

No Kill like Overkill: After Owlbear-Doric delivers a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown to Sofina, Edgin stops her because, "I think that's enough!", only for Sofina to keep moving, so Doric delivers another No-Holds-Barred Beatdown before tossing her into a wall.

Skewed Priorities: Exploited by Holga to buy time for her to dig up a stone block to fight with; as a guard is preparing to decapitate her and Edgin and asks if they have any last words, she compliments the design of his axe and inquires about his caretaking methods for it. He's understandably confused why those would be her last words but indulges her anyway.

Secret Test of Character
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_3f7a958b
comment
Secret Test of Character: The film uses attuning to a magical item, normally a very bog-standard, easy task, as something much more like this. Simon first has to overcome his own insecurities before he can use the Helm of Disjunction, a Legendary-class magical item. It's partially treated as the Helm itself ensuring the person using it understands the weight of what they've been given.note Given the Helm was created by archmage Mordenkainen, it's entirely possible he built such a fail-safe into it.

During their excursion in the Underdark to retrieve the Helm of Disjunction, the party is brought before a complicated bridge puzzle which almost immediately ends up botched beyond repair. Just when it seems like their journey is about to stop dead in its tracks, Simon suddenly makes an extremely useful discovery: the seemingly unassuming "walking stick" that Holga took from her ex? Turns out it's a powerful Hither-Thither Staff that lets them create portals, allowing them to bypass the puzzle entirely and proving to be a valuable tool for the rest of the film.

Doric's Wild Shape rules specify that, in addition to the usual use of turning into a beast, she's also able to use it to turn into an Owlbear as a unique trait. Additionally, she is listed as being able to use Wild Shape five times a day, over double the amount a regular Druid can; she still utilised it more times than this in the film, but it does make special mention that she can still Wild Shape while already in a form (something that the official rules-as-written does not specify for Druids, though it has been officially ruled as possible by Mike Mearls), and she only reverted to her true form twice during the montage where she showcased her abilities, so it's possible to handwave that they were ruling that changing from one animal to another while in Wild Shape didn't require expending one of her uses of it.note This does go against Mearls' official ruling on how Wild Shape works, but is not specified for Doric on her list.

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_44989f6f
comment
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: The board assembled to assess Edgin and Holga's case only manage to call out that they've pardoned them after Edgin and Holga have escaped (as they weren't sure they'd get a pardon and want to get back to Kira). Because they escaped, they are wanted by the time they get to Neverwinter, which gives Forge cause to accuse Edgin of lying about his intentions and further erode Kira's trust in Edgin, which he wouldn't be able to do if they had just waited to be pardoned instead of escaping. Forge then has Edgin and Holga arrested, kicking off the rest of the plot.

The Guards Must Be Crazy
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_4508b16b
comment
The Guards Must Be Crazy: Inverted with one guard after Doric is discovered spying on the castle. Doric hides inside an empty armor and leaves the scene. A passing guard notice that something is off and soon starts chasing her while alerting the other guards. The soldiers guarding the carriage carrying treasures for the High Sun Games are chatting with each other, so they don't notice the two people trying to portal into the carriage from the ground. During the same operation, one of them makes eye contact with Holga on a nearby hill, who appears to be handling a pair of legs of someone that looks inexplicably submerged into the ground. She gives him an awkwardly polite wave and he doesn't give it any further notice. When Edgin plays a lute to distract the guards (actually an illusion from Simon), they all gather around him and do nothing instead of arresting him. Not helping their case is that there's a wanted poster of him and Holga earlier in the movie and they fail to recognize him. It's only when the illusion breaks down that they start to wise-up and by that time, it's too late. Edgin and the party are already inside the castle.

Heroism Won't Pay the Bills: Why Edgin turned to thievery. As a member of the Harpers, he fought to protect the innocent and apprehend evildoers, but the organization's refusal to accept payment for good deeds made it hard for him to support his wife and young daughter. When he stole some treasure from a Red Wizard during a bust, he inadvertently led the Thayans right to his door, directly causing the death of his wife and sending him further into a life of crime.

Combat Pragmatist: Nobody in this film fights fair. The thieves use every dirty trick in the book and anything within arm's reach to fight their opponents, and even the Paladin has a detachable blade he can shoot out to stab someone at range. Justified since their opponents are treacherous necromancers who don't even try to fight honorably (and maybe a few innocent city guards, but such is Faerûn).

Unwanted Revival: Discussed. Edgin explicitly states that Zia's death and finding a way to bring her back is what's currently motivating him and has been ever since he learned about the way to do it. Xenk tries to convince him that perhaps she wouldn't want to come back to this plane of existence, and Edgin might be robbing her of a new life. While it's unclear whether that's true, Edgin ultimately decides that Zia is trying to tell him not to selfishly focus on bringing her back just for his own feelings, because she didn't mind dying if it was to save Kira. Instead, he revives the newly dead Holga, who very much does want to be brought back.

Villain Respect: One of the reasons that Sofina gives for allowing Edgin and his party to participate in the games instead of killing him outright is because they'd beaten everything sent after them thus far, so they've "earned it." From her point of view, it also means when she turns the whole arena into her undead servants, their strength and skill will be hers.

Hero of Another Story: The cameoing protagonists of the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon are essentially this, being the stars of their own Trapped in Another World story set in the D&D universe whom Edgin's crew briefly encounter at the High Sun Games before their paths abruptly diverge, leaving the 1983 heroes in an Uncertain Doom situation but not without the possibility of survival.

Pragmatic Adaptation
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_603f1a80
comment
Pragmatic Adaptation: While the film is largely faithful in preserving game mechanics, it willfully fudges around the nature of some elements that would make more sense for a movie, both in terms of narrative balance and drama. For example, Doric is able to Wild Shape far more often than a typical Druid could in gameplay, but neither she nor Edgin are shown using any other magic associated with their classes in order to emphasize Simon's role as the party's Sorcerer. The story also makes a big deal out of attunement: in the game, it's a nominal gameplay element for balance purposesnote In 5e rules, each character is only allowed to attune with up to three different items at a time — its purpose is to prevent players from stacking up on too many powerful items at once, thus potentially breaking game balance that usually just requires a user to be with the magic item of choice for about an hour, but in this film, it's a much more arduous and magically-involved test of character that Simon struggles with and informs much of his personal character arc (though that also might just be due to Simon's horrible control of magic due to his insecurity). The film also takes a distinct adaptational approach in focusing not so much on the direct fiction and grand mythos of Dungeons & Dragons or the Forgotten Realms setting (though they are quite faithful), but rather the down-to-earth social interplay of the main party. Dungeons & Dragons as a game is notoriously difficult to adapt into linear media due to its heavy basis on engagement and ingenuity between participating players, with the setting often just functioning as a mere vector for a socially-driven metagame rather than being the main point of interest (hence the fact that many actions tend to be determined by literal dice rolls). Previous big-name adaptations (from the 80's cartoon to the infamous 2000 film) had issues of primarily focusing on the fantasy side of D&D, and in taking away the metagaming aspect, they often come off as generic fantasy fare. Honor Among Thieves addresses this with its far more character-focused approach, opting to prioritize individual interactions and development over the central heist plot (which has a tendency to jump around a lot), making it the closest it can to recreate the metagaming aspect unique to D&D (in simpler terms, how it feels to play the game) while still fitting the linear, grounded medium of film. In terms of handling established D&D canon, the film makes the decision to play fast and loose with the lore of Forgotten Realms, preserving several locales and mechanics established by its worldbuilding, but deviating in a lot of ways in order to suit the particular story of the film. Again, this is itself evocative of how most players approach lore while playing D&D — the fiction of the Forgotten Realms is there and quite robust, but it's often treated more as a flexible launching point for groups to form their own continuities and "what-if" scenarios rather than hard gospel, and fudging around the lore to fit the needs of an individual campaign is expected, if not necessary (such as to fit with the players' suggested backgrounds).

Gelatinous Encasement
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_616b5da3
comment
Gelatinous Encasement: To escape from the High Sun Games, Doric urges the rest of the heroic party to jump into a gelatinous cube that is part of the Mobile Maze, and thus lowered below the arena when the blocks retract. The move would be rather suicidal in most circumstances; Doric manages to save the group by making sure the tip of her finger is touching the edge of the cube, and then using Wild Shape to turn into a garter snake which slithers in the cavity left by her body, reaching the hole and escaping. She then returns to human form and pulls out her companions one by one, before the acid of the cube can digest them.

Gameplay and Story Segregation
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_6320eced
comment
Gameplay and Story Segregation: Played with. Many of the elements of the story are lifted straight from the game, including the monsters, but the film has no issues with breaking from the rules of the game for narrative reasons due to Rule of Drama or Rule of Funny. The most pointed out examples are the classes of the main characters not lining up with their game counterparts: Edgin has no magical abilities and is essentially a noncombatant (Bards are renowned as good at a little bit of everything), Doric casts no spells but has MUCH higher Wildshaping abilities than her game counterpart (Druids in most iterations are only just behind Wizards and Clerics for breaking the game in half with spells), Forge is a Rogue who performs nothing remotely like a Rogue (Sneak Attacks, Trap Detection and Disarming, or other out-of-the-box skills), Holga comes off more as a highly-proficient Fighter than a raging Barbarian (though her Super-Strength and Toughness, along with her battlecry, is evocative of a rage), etc. Gags like the Intellect Devourers also make no sense as the species would presumably die of starvation if it took a genius-level intellect to even attract their attention. Finally, the monsters at the maze at the end are a little on the weak side (they're all Challenge Rating 2 or 3) for what are supposed to be a city-wide spectacle, but the adventuring challengers do have to start with no weapons and inability to use magic. In a more direct sense, official statblocks for the main cast have been published, putting most of them in the level 16-18 range (the exceptions being Sofina, Forge, and Xenk at levels 19, 20, and 21 respectively). In game terms, this would place them among the strongest mortal beings in existence, with Simon in particular being only slightly less powerful than the Big Bad, but it wouldn't be nearly as entertaining to watch the heroes just curb-stomp everything for two hours.

comment
Armor Is Useless: Double-subverted; various foot soldiers are shown to be heavily armored, and other than a character with a magical flaming sword, nobody even attempts to stab or slash them with blades. However, because medieval armor aren't as padded or safe as, say, modern football helmets, they're still vulnerable to sheer blunt force. The armor ends up being useful against sharp objects and other presumed minor threats like fire and regular thieves/villagers, not so much against a raging barbarian with Super-Strength.

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Forge is selfish, greedy, and seems to have Chronic Backstabbing Disorder. But he takes his role as Kira's foster father very seriously, even admitting to Edgin that he enjoys being a father more than he ever thought he would. He even makes it clear to Sofina that he wants her to spare Kira (along with himself) if no-one else. He's still willing to hold a knife to Kira's throat in order to force Edgin to hand over the Tablet of Reawakening, though. He also honestly thinks it would be better for Edgin and everyone else to simply die than to go into the High Sun Games and be subject to Sofina's spell.

Forgot About His Powers

comment
Forgot About His Powers: During a chase scene, a dragon destroys the bridge the characters are using, Doric loses her footing and is left dangling on a ledge before being helped up by Simon, having apparently forgotten that she can shapeshift into a bird or another animal that could scale up the ledge just fine. It's possibly justified by the stress and panic she might have been feeling, but noticeable all the same. It is hinted by Doric's passive nature throughout that sequence that it is emulating an absent player whose character is handled by the DM for continuity. Edgin's official character sheet says he can cast spells, but we never see him do so. Or do we? Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane was invoked by the filmmakers intentionally.

Surprisingly, despite how much she despises him, she doesn't pull Exact Words, I Lied, or even You Have Outlived Your Usefulness on him, choosing to honor the agreement and coldly tells him, "Get out of my city."

The first thing we see Xenk do is rescue a Tabaxi cub that was swallowed by a giant fish. He literally saves the cat.note A common screenwriting term for a protagonist doing something good as an Establishing Character Moment to make the audience like them.

Being Good Sucks: Edgin in his time as a Harper felt this. Sure, he helps arrest a lot of cut-purses and worse scumbags, but he was annoyed about his family living in what he felt was poverty and he felt the need to correct it somehow, leading to eventual tragedy.

The journey to acquire the Helm of Disjunction takes up a major portion of the middle of the film. Even though it ultimately isn't directly involved in the denouement (See It's the Journey That Counts above), it's still the MacGuffin for the characters.

Two Girls to a Team
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_74c9cf33
comment
Two Girls to a Team: Holga and Doric are the two women on the four-person Caper Crew (which temporarily becomes a Five-Man Band with Xenk in the second act before he parts ways with them). This was also true of Edgin's past Five-Man Band in the flashbacks, where Holga and Kira (once she was old enough to start helping them) were the two girls, opposite Edgin, Simon, and Forge. Though it became a Gender-Equal Ensemble for their final job that went horribly wrong, thanks to Sofina being a Sixth Ranger Traitor. The gender ratio flips in the end as Kira once again becomes the fifth member of the group after they rescue her from Forge.

Like Brother and Sister: Edgin explicitly describes his relationship with Holga as being like this; while she is Kira's mother figure, Holga rejects the idea that they could ever be involved. When a tavern keeper mistakes them for a couple, they both react with disgust, and overall make it pretty clear that, as much as they care about each other, it's not and never will be romantic for either party.

Off with His Head!: Lampshaded. Edgin and Holga are about to be beheaded in an alley, until Holga wrenches a cobblestone out of the street, blocking the axe and beats up the guard/executioner with it while Edgin tries (with little success) to saw through his bonds on one of the steps. When Dralas murders the guards for allowing Doric to escape, he decapitates the last one.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_7fbb2a3
comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Several examples. The plot catalyst is Edgin's band of thieves unknowingly helping a Red Wizard steal a powerful evil artifact. Had Edgin and Holga just waited to hear what the Council's decision was — they were planning to grant them a pardon — before trying to escape, they would have walked out scot-free at the beginning and not spent the film as fugitives. This helps Forge turn Kira against Edgin when he goes to pick her up. When Edgin and Holga go to find Simon, he's in the middle of a shoddy magic show — which turns out to be a distraction for him to rob the audience by making their valuables levitate away. Seeing his old partners in crime pop up unexpectedly after two years surprises him so much that his concentration breaks, causing the ball of gold and jewelry he'd accumulated to clatter onto the floor, alerting his marks to what's going on and inciting an angry mob against him. While he was a Harper, Edgin stole some treasure from a Red Wizard he had helped apprehend. Unfortunately, Red Wizards mark their treasure so they can hunt down thieves. This resulted in the Red Wizards seeking revenge and killing Edgin's wife.

Establishing Character Moment
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_7febc23b
comment
Establishing Character Moment: Edgin and Holga are introduced as cellmates in prison. Edgin, knitting on his bed, snarkily "shows their new cellmate around" and tells him not to bother Holga. When the new cellmate does, Holga puts aside her potato and beats him up. This firmly establishes them as a Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy pair who have a deep understanding of each other. Later, when meeting the council for their pardon, Holga cynically believes Edgin's plan is not going to work and snarkily refuses to join him when trying to argue his case to the council, but as soon as Edgin gives her the signal, she instantly joins him and together they leap from the building alongside their hostage. This shows that despite her snark, she implicitly trusts Edgin with her life and will go along with his ideas no matter how bad they might seem. When Holga and Edgin visit Simon's show, he's annoying the audience with elementary parlor tricks while secretly stealing their valuables, hinting that he's more intelligent than is initially apparent. When the jig is found out, he's able to claw his way out of the situation even if he futzes some spells. This characterizes him as an Inept Mage who can pull through in critical situations. He also, as Edgin later points out, reverses the gravity of the entire room, indicting he's a lot more powerful than even he believes. Simon takes them to meet a druid acquaintance of his, Doric. The team initially assumes Doric is a rebel being tried for crimes against Neverwinter, until Simon points out that Doric has shapeshifted into the horse before beating everybody bloody. She's quickly characterized as a powerful and serious shapeshifter with a talent for stealth who wants to defend her home. When the party goes to meet Xenk, they watch him calmly rescue a Tabaxi cub by convincing the large fish who swallowed him to cough him back up and return the cub to his parent in front of a cheering crowd, establishing him as a righteous and popular individual with a respect for life.

Adaptational Nice Guy: The Legend of Drizzt depicts Lord Neverember as a pompous, spiteful Jerkass who has a nasty political feud going on with the dwarves of Delzoun. The film's version of Neverember readily agrees to and makes peace with Doric and the rest of the Emerald Enclave and is implied to have been a goody-two-shoes prior to his coma, something the book version of Neverember would probably never do. The Harpers are general do-gooders in the movie who are implied to be mostly effective; in the games and other media, more than a few members turned out to be dogmatic, Lawful Stupid, racist pricks (though this is a borderline example, as plenty of Harpers are every bit as good as portrayed here).

What Happened to the Mouse?: After they succumb to the Beckoning Death, the zombified Lords are never seen again in the film. It is likely that they were destroyed, but how and by whom is unclear, especially given Xenk's earlier comment about how it is hard to kill that which is already dead. Xenk makes Edgin promise to defend the Helm of Disjunction with his life. After discovering that the vault is empty, it's never shown or mentioned again.

Doing In the Wizard
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_86d4f985
comment
Doing In the Wizard: It's never discussed in dialogue, but a close viewing of the battle with Themberchaud establishes that a red dragon's fire breath is biological in nature, rather than magical: the dragon exhales an inflammable gas, then ignites it with an organ in the back of the throat that produces sparks. When Themberchaud corners the party in a dead end and saturates the room with the gas, Edgin has a "Eureka!" Moment and gets Simon to conjure a flame, blasting open an escape route. This tracks with Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition rules, as a dragon's breath weapon is not a spell or magical ability and has been confirmed to work in an Antimagic Field in that edition (in previous editions it was explicitly magical).

Bait-and-Switch: In the opening, Edgin is confident that he and Holga will get out of prison because a judge named Jarnathan will be at their clemency hearing, and keeps trying to slow down proceedings to make sure Jarnathan has time to arrive, implying that he's sure to support them... Nope. When he shows up and is revealed to be an Aarakocra, Ed busts out their escape plan where he and Holga to grab Jarnathan and jump out the window, counting on Jarnathan to fly them to safety. A Brick Joke variation of above happens at the end — Forge, having been apprehended and now being tried for his crimes, pulls the exact same sob-story tactic — and promptly gets shut down before he gets past his childhood. He then also attempts to grab Jarnathan (who's on time and present this time around) and glide out of the window, which would set up a great Sequel Hook... if the Council hadn't learned from its first mistake and bricked up the window. When Simon takes Edgin and Holga to meet Doric, they approach the trial of a druid about to be sentenced to death by Forge's guards for defying his propaganda, with Edgin assuming said druid is Doric. Instead, one of the guards' horses promptly morphs into an Owlbear and delivers a Curb-Stomp Battle to the guards before transforming back into her Tiefling form, knocking out the last guard with her slingshot and rescuing the druid on horseback. Guess which one is Doric.

comment
Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Platonic Life-Partners Edgin (a knitter, musician, and charismatic noncombatant) and Holga (a brusque fighter from a warrior culture) are the Feminine Guy and Masculine Girl respectively. In addition, Holga seems to have a thing for guys who are softer and more "feminine" than her, as both of the men she shows interest in (her ex-husband and the guy she flirts with at the end) are halfling men with much gentler dispositions than her. Simon and Doric are a downplayed example. Doric does not fit the "masculine" stereotype and nor does Simon fit the "feminine" one, but in battle she relies much more on her own physical strength, and his efforts to find his self-esteem are one of the main subplots of the film.

Played with. Many of the elements of the story are lifted straight from the game, including the monsters, but the film has no issues with breaking from the rules of the game for narrative reasons due to Rule of Drama or Rule of Funny. The most pointed out examples are the classes of the main characters not lining up with their game counterparts: Edgin has no magical abilities and is essentially a noncombatant (Bards are renowned as good at a little bit of everything), Doric casts no spells but has MUCH higher Wildshaping abilities than her game counterpart (Druids in most iterations are only just behind Wizards and Clerics for breaking the game in half with spells), Forge is a Rogue who performs nothing remotely like a Rogue (Sneak Attacks, Trap Detection and Disarming, or other out-of-the-box skills), Holga comes off more as a highly-proficient Fighter than a raging Barbarian (though her Super-Strength and Toughness, along with her battlecry, is evocative of a rage), etc. Gags like the Intellect Devourers also make no sense as the species would presumably die of starvation if it took a genius-level intellect to even attract their attention. Finally, the monsters at the maze at the end are a little on the weak side (they're all Challenge Rating 2 or 3) for what are supposed to be a city-wide spectacle, but the adventuring challengers do have to start with no weapons and inability to use magic.

Glamour Failure: At one point, Edgin appears before several guards while singing a song... which turns out to be Simon casting a Major Image illusion to distract them as they sneak by. Unfortunately, he ends up briefly getting his foot stuck and messes up his concentration, causing said illusion to start "glitching", treating the guards to a frankly surreal sight of the fake Edgin bloating and shifting uncontrollably, freaking them out before they realize what's going on. Sofina's true appearance is revealed during the final battle when it looks like she's managed to trap the party with another Time Stop spell; looking like a rotting corpse with tattered, moth-eaten robes. It's because Simon finally has the talent to counterspell it, the party were all faking being time-frozen to sell the ruse, and Kira used her invisibility necklace to move in and slap an Anti-Magic bracelet on the Red Wizard as she has her villainous rant — the moment her true undead form is unveiled being the moment Kira made her move.

During the battle over the Helm of Disjunction, most of the barbarians killed after passing the helmet to another were busy explaining to their comrades why the Helm of Disjunction should never fall into the hands of their enemies, thus giving said enemies an opportunity to bisect them at the waist, shoot their head and eye out with an arrow, etc.

Major Injury Underreaction: After the final battle, the camera pans down to reveal that Holga has been stabbed just below the heart, by a dagger that prevents anyone it kills from being resurrected normally. She calmly remarks "That's not a good place." Justified in that she was at peace with her impending death, viewing it as a Heroic Sacrifice, and was trying to put on a brave face in front of Kira.

This was also true of Edgin's past Five-Man Band in the flashbacks, where Holga and Kira (once she was old enough to start helping them) were the two girls, opposite Edgin, Simon, and Forge. Though it became a Gender-Equal Ensemble for their final job that went horribly wrong, thanks to Sofina being a Sixth Ranger Traitor.

Bathos: The barbarian cemetery scene has a rather creepy atmosphere and setup involving the party resurrecting several corpses for interrogation... which quickly becomes comedic due to the fickle nature of their Speak with Dead spell that forces them to repeat the process several times, as well as the various stories of the barbarians who died in battle through abrupt or flat-out undignified circumstances. The entire encounter with Themberchaud manages to be both terrifying and ridiculous on the simple fact that this giant dragon happens to be incredibly obese, providing an Indy Escape that involves the heroes running from both its deadly fire breath and its barrel-rolling across the ground.

Sofina and her master Szass Tam are two Red Wizards of Thay, notorious evil wizards. Tam is a lich (a type of the undead who uses a Soul Jar for living beyond their physical death — it's also implied Sofina is too). Their plan is to turn many people into undead soldiers who Tam can use in conquering lands beyond Thay as well using a powerful spell, which he'd already used in their country.

At one point, Edgin appears before several guards while singing a song... which turns out to be Simon casting a Major Image illusion to distract them as they sneak by. Unfortunately, he ends up briefly getting his foot stuck and messes up his concentration, causing said illusion to start "glitching", treating the guards to a frankly surreal sight of the fake Edgin bloating and shifting uncontrollably, freaking them out before they realize what's going on.

Foreshadowing: Edgin's admission to Kira that he was trying to resurrect his wife, not her mother, acknowledging that he did it for himself and not for her. They end up using the Tablet of Reawakening on Holga... because this time Edgin chooses to save Kira's mother not his wife. Forge's offhand remark to Sofina that the Red Wizards are "about to be considerably less popular" makes sense in hindsight when you find out what her plans are for Neverwinter. When asked why he's reinstated the High Sun Games, Forge says that they bring the city together, and adds in a more joking tone that "rich bastards" bet a lot of money on them. This is in fact completely true, although not in the way his guests take it: the Games literally bring the city together, as in, to one location where they can all be hit with the Beckoning Death, and Forge plans to take the treasure and run while Sofina murders and enslaves everyone.

Time for Plan B
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_a2e4af42
comment
Time for Plan B: Plan A for the heist was using the Helm of Disjunction to disrupt the Arcane Seal of Mordenkainen; it however hits a snag when Simon cannot attune with the Helm. Thus they switch to plan B: using the Hither-Thither Staff to create a portal hidden inside a painting that will be deposited in the treasure vault. Plan B also hits a snag, though, when the painting accidentally falls flat on the floor, and the portal leads to solid concrete. Thus Edgin proposes to switch to Plan C — which is a return to plan A, except he won't call it that because "Plan A has a stink on it." When asked what to do if Plan C still fails, Edgin touts plan D — a return to plan B (Doric having suggested she could carve a small hole at the edge of the portal and slip there as a worm), just not called that because plan B has a stink on it too.

Though sadness for what could have been clearly lingers, Holga and Marlamin at least part on a handshake of warm friendship.

MacGuffin: There are three that form the backbone of the film. The Thayan horn, once used by Szass Tam to raise an army of the undead and conquer Thay, which Sofina now plans to use against the people of the Sword Coast. The Tablet of Reawakening, which can bring anyone back from the dead, that Edgin wants to use to revive his dead wife and ultimately uses to revive the mortally wounded Holga. The journey to acquire the Helm of Disjunction takes up a major portion of the middle of the film. Even though it ultimately isn't directly involved in the denouement (See It's the Journey That Counts above), it's still the MacGuffin for the characters.

All for Nothing
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_aed65980
comment
Edgin's lute is specified to be reinforced and usable as a weapon, explaining his use of it as such without breaking the lute. Also, while it does list spells he can perform (something he never visibly did in the film), only two are spells that would be visibly obvious (Message and Disguise Self) while his other spells (Friends, Charm Person, and Suggestion) are all Verbal spells that don't have a physical indication of their casting, and are routed essentially in being really convincing (Friends grants the caster advantage on persuasion during the conversation, for instance), and none of his spells are combat-oriented, making it entirely possible he was casting spells the entire film, just only out-of-combat and during conversation.note Notably, Friends and Charm Person have the effect that, once the spell is over, the affected target will become hostile towards you, which is reflected in the film; after convincing the party to go along with his insane scheme, they do at one point snap and turn on him for wasting their time on an adventure to the Underdark that was seemingly All for Nothing.

Inept Mage
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_af739531
comment
When Holga and Edgin visit Simon's show, he's annoying the audience with elementary parlor tricks while secretly stealing their valuables, hinting that he's more intelligent than is initially apparent. When the jig is found out, he's able to claw his way out of the situation even if he futzes some spells. This characterizes him as an Inept Mage who can pull through in critical situations. He also, as Edgin later points out, reverses the gravity of the entire room, indicting he's a lot more powerful than even he believes.

What You Are in the Dark
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_afc6df04
comment
What You Are in the Dark: After escaping the High Sun Games, the heroes manage to rescue Kira, steal Forge's boat and make their way from the city with all his treasures aboard. Unfortunately, at that moment, Sofina enacts her final plan to convert all of the city's citizens into her slaves, leaving the heroes with the choice to either abandon the city to the Red Wizard or turn back and try to save the day. Without even exchanging a word with each other (other than Edgin giving a resigned "Well, shit..."), they choose the latter and turn back, coming up with a plan to save the day while sacrificing all the riches in the process.

Retcon: A retcon of a dubiously canon joke, but a retcon nonetheless. Baldur's Gate 2 had an Easter Egg explaining that the party from the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon were all ultimately eaten by Tiamat. Here, they cameo again, alive and appropriately aged-up. (Uni is conspicuously absent, however. Perhaps she did get eaten.)

Sixth Ranger Traitor: In the backstory/flashbacks, Edgin and his team agree to work with a mysterious woman, Sofina, to steal some Harper's treasure because it includes a Tablet of Reawakening that he wants to use to resurrect his wife. It turns out to be a trap, as Sofina betrays them and catches Edgin and Holga in her Time Stop spell, getting them arrested and thrown in prison. It turns out that Forge was also a traitor who was conspiring with her all along.

Epic Fail: At one point, Simon attempts to use a Major Image spell to create an illusion of Edgin serenading some guards, distracting them as he, Edgin, and Holga slip past. Unfortunately, his foot becomes stuck in a hole along the way, breaking his concentration and making the illusion malfunction and warp like a poorly animated CG cartoon character, much to the guards' confusion and horror, before they realize what's going on and give chase.

The Multiverse: Hinted at existing in the film's universe. The archmage Mordenkainen, a key figure from the Greyhawk setting (the world of Oerth) is namechecked a few times, and it is known in game-canon that he did visit the Forgotten Realms setting (the world of Toril, where the film takes place) on at least a few occasions in his astral wanderings and invent spells used in multiple worlds note At the very least, he and Elminster canonically did often get together on Earth to swap magic notes and stories, and he does appear hobnobbing with Elminster in a cartoon graphic for Waterdeep: Dragon Heist.

Power Nullifier: Doric and Simon have anti-magic shackles locked around their wrists before they're put into the High Sun Games, though only on one wrist. Doric has hers pulled off her arm as she is almost pulled into a Gelatinous Cube, while Simon has the keys to his tossed to him by Edgin after their escape from the arena. One is surreptitiously handed to Kira before the final showdown, which she later slips on Sofina when she thinks she's time-frozen everyone, allowing Doric to finish her off in her Owlbear form.

Jump Scare: Played for Laughs at during the Speak with Dead scene. Simon speaks the incantation... and nothing happens. He turns to the others to wonder if he's saying it right, when the corpse pops up. Simon Screams Like a Little Girl, then tries to play it off to Doric as being not scared, but startled. During Xenk's flashback to his witnessing of the Beckoning Death, his parents fall behind in the cloud. As he stands just beyond the edge of the spell's range, their now undead forms pounce at him with a snarl. In the transforming maze of the Arena, Holga runs into a treasure chest and gleefully reaches out to open it hoping to finding a weapon, only for a chameleon-like tongue to burst out of the lid to reveal the fanged mouth of a Mimic, which wraps its tongue around Holga's foot and lunges forth to try and munch into the barbarian.

You Are Better Than You Think You Are
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_c3b51bb3
comment
You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Xenk believes Edgin still has the spirit of a Harper, even if he's left the organization and become a thief. He makes Edgin swear on a Harper's book to redistribute Forge's wealth among the people of Neverwinter instead of keeping it all — and then says he knows Edgin is bullshitting, but believes Edgin will change his mind and keep the promise when it counts. He's right. Edgin also consistently tells Simon that he's not as bad at magic as he thinks (and not just because, as Holga points out, he doesn't actually know any other sorcerers). As he details later, Simon's spells work best when he's in mortal danger. Justified in that mortal danger is the only time he's angry and focused enough to quit worrying. Also justified in that, as a Wild Magic Sorcerer specifically, Simon's magic isn't meant to be controlled consciously so much as an instinctive reaction. Going by in-game logic; Simon is at his best when he's at his most confident because that makes him the coolest, most awesome, most charismatic version of himself. Sorcerers run on charisma, not intelligence. Rule of Cool personified.

Shout-Out
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: See "Homage Shot" above for the references to the first Jurassic Park film. Harpers wearing a very specific shade of blue and functioning as spies? Someone on the writing staff was clearly a fan of Dragonriders of Pern. Of all the names to choose for the magical party member: Simon the Sorcerer. A statue in front of Neverwinter's arena clearly depicts Lord Nasher Alagondar exactly as he appears in Neverwinter Nights 2. Sofina's reaction to spotting Doric wildshaped as a fly, with a pointed finger and a shrill scream, is straight out from Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The visual effects and sound design of the Hither-Thither Staff greatly call to mind the Portal Gun, with the only difference being that both portals are blue rather than one blue, one orange. One of the groups that compete in the High Sun Games are the protagonists from the Eighties Saturday morning Dungeons & Dragons cartoon. A giant transforming monster repeatedly mashing the city-seizing egotistical supervillain, much like a child swinging a doll into the ground, again and again for much longer than necessary. The directors admitted the beatdown was lifted directly from The Avengers.

Necromancer: Sofina and her master Szass Tam are two Red Wizards of Thay, notorious evil wizards. Tam is a lich (a type of the undead who uses a Soul Jar for living beyond their physical death — it's also implied Sofina is too). Their plan is to turn many people into undead soldiers who Tam can use in conquering lands beyond Thay as well using a powerful spell, which he'd already used in their country. The heroes use a spell to question dead barbarians in seeking a powerful magical artifact, something encompassed by the original meaning of "necromancy".

Deus Exit Machina: Shortly after obtaining the helmet, Xenk leaves the party, as he is far more competent, valorous, and strong than the rest of the party and would probably cut about 30 minutes off the movie had he stayed around and helped. Simon even lampshades how much better an adventurer he is than the rest of them.

"Wanted!" Poster: Edgin and Holga naturally gets a wanted poster after they escape from prison a few seconds before their pardon was announced. Later they pretend they've been let free for "good behavior", but Forge Fitzwilliam pulls out the poster and show it to Edgin's daughter Kira to convince her that her father had been lying from the moment he showed up.

Kill the Parent, Raise the Child
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_cd86f11f
comment
Kill the Parent, Raise the Child: Forge Fitzwilliam attempts to do this. He's become accustomed to Edgin's daughter Kira treating him as a father figure, and part of his motivation (or at least a bonus) for having Edgin and his Platonic Life Partner Holga (who's effectively a mother to Kira) killed is to avoid returning her to his custody (instead of letting Edgin take the tablet, bring his wife Back from the Dead, and leave with them both).

Edgin also consistently tells Simon that he's not as bad at magic as he thinks (and not just because, as Holga points out, he doesn't actually know any other sorcerers). As he details later, Simon's spells work best when he's in mortal danger. Justified in that mortal danger is the only time he's angry and focused enough to quit worrying. Also justified in that, as a Wild Magic Sorcerer specifically, Simon's magic isn't meant to be controlled consciously so much as an instinctive reaction. Going by in-game logic; Simon is at his best when he's at his most confident because that makes him the coolest, most awesome, most charismatic version of himself. Sorcerers run on charisma, not intelligence. Rule of Cool personified.

Adaptational Wimp
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_d500b978
comment
Adaptational Wimp: Given the abilities we see the characters display and how they use them, they all (with the odd exception of Edgin) have to be around level ten. As such they should have access to a whole host of other abilities and powers that never show up. This is basically because a party powerful enough to be interesting on screen is also powerful enough to utterly de-rail a typical movie plot and be incredibly expensive to film. Edgin is the exception because he never actually shows any of his bardic magic or combat ability on screen. Instead, there are hints that he's specialized in being an inspirational bard with spells that can have effects like what we've seen on screen but which wouldn't be highly visible. Even so, he's hit with the wimp stick, too, because a mid-level bard should be a thorough-going badass. If their official stat blocks are good indications, they're all 16th-18th level (out of 20, except for Xenk (19) and Sofina (21)), meaning they should be way, way more powerful than they are, and any one of them should be capable of wiping the floor with a roomful of mooks.

Race Lift: Elminster, a seminal character in Forgotten Realms lore, has generally been portrayed in official art (and Baldur's Gate III) as Caucasian. In the film, Elminster is Black when he appears to his descendant Simon via a magical interlude. Of course, this is revealed to actually be an avatar of Simon's self-doubts who de-ages to look exactly like Simon before disappearing, so may not reflect Elminster's real appearance. In the cameo by the kids from the Dungeons & Dragons animated series, Eric the Cavalier, who was white in the cartoon, is played by mixed race actor Trevor Kaneswaran.

Our Dragons Are Different: Like in the source material, chromatic dragons have different abilities based on the colour of their scales. The flashback scenes of a barbarian war feature a black dragon that breathes corrosive acid, while Themberchaud, a red dragon, breathes fire. There is also a stone statue in the shape of dragon that gets brought to life by magic.

Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_d8e0e9f7
comment
Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: Played with, but ultimately defied. Kira resents her father Edgin for seemingly abandoning her for two years, leaving her behind while he sought treasure and glory. Edgin keeps trying to explain to his daughter, his team, and himself, that he only left in order to retrieve a MacGuffin that could bring Kira's mother back to life. Ultimately, however, Edgin realizes that while he may not have intended to be gone for so long, he did abandon Kira for selfish reasons, aptly summarizing it as "I was trying to bring back my wife, and not your mother." While his initial confession gets thwarted as he delivers it not to Kira, but a polymorphed Sofina, he takes this moment of self-realization to heart, deciding to let go of trying to resurrect his wife (who is implied to be at peace despite her early demise) and instead make the proper sacrifices to earn Kira's forgiveness.

Reality Is Out to Lunch: When Simon puts on the Helm of Disjunction in an attempt to attune to it, he ends up in a strange Pocket Dimension within an instant of time, where all of his "present" surroundings gradually distort and melt like some kind of bad acid trip. This appears to only be a mental thing — when he fails, everything pops back to normal (and virtually no time has passed in the process).

 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_dc579c91
comment
Contrived Coincidence: Played for Laughs on multiple occasions, where the improbability of the situation reads as an actual game of D&D where the DM's plans went awry due to unforeseen circumstances, thus requiring an equally improbable nudge to get things back on track. During their excursion in the Underdark to retrieve the Helm of Disjunction, the party is brought before a complicated bridge puzzle which almost immediately ends up botched beyond repair. Just when it seems like their journey is about to stop dead in its tracks, Simon suddenly makes an extremely useful discovery: the seemingly unassuming "walking stick" that Holga took from her ex? Turns out it's a powerful Hither-Thither Staff that lets them create portals, allowing them to bypass the puzzle entirely and proving to be a valuable tool for the rest of the film. Later as the heroes act out their plan, they use the Hither-Thither Staff to cast a portal onto a painting that gets snuck into the castle's vault, which they intend to use as an easy way in. This gets thwarted as the guard bringing the painting in carelessly lets it drop face-down onto the floor, thus treating the heroes to a portal that leads directly into solid concrete, forcing them to think of another way to get in. The group briefly discusses why anyone would just let a fancy painting fall onto the floor like that to begin with.

Reasonable Authority Figure: The council that Edgin pleads his and Holga's case to were willing to pardon them after he acknowledges that they were imprisoned for their thievery and promises to make amends. Had they not used their fellow council member Jarnathan to break out of prison, the warrant for their arrest would have been nonexistent. When Forge attempts to plead his case by blaming his thieving and backstabbing ways on his upbringing with his nagging mother without taking responsibility for his actions, they immediately deny his pardon. Lord Neverember. He had previously banned the deadly High Sun Games before Forge usurped his position, and after he awakes from Sofina's magically-induced coma and reclaims his title, the first thing he does is reward the party for saving his land and sign a Bill of Protection for the Emerald Enclave.

When trying to convince Doric to join their group, she keeps asking what Edgin is adding on his own, other than plans that apparently fail and require fixing on the run. Holga is quick to point out that he also plays the lute, to which an annoyed Edgin says it's irrelevant. Cue him or rather an illusion of him distracting a group of guards by frolicking around and playing his lute much later into the story. This one got spoiled by the trailers, where the payoff is instantly shown for a quick laugh.

The Oner: Doric shapeshifts into a fly to scope out the vault. When Sofina spots her, she has to escape the guards in an extended chase scene that takes her all across the city, shifting into different animals the whole way, done in one shot.

1-Dimensional Thinking: Averted; in the Underdark, when Themberchaud smashes against one of the gigantic chains holding up the platform, this dislodges it from the ceiling and it starts crashing to the ground below link by link, threatening to fall on Simon and Doric who begin to run away, but they soon enough swerve to the side and avoid being crushed.

Exact Words
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_e9e35e8f
comment
Exact Words: Simon casts Speak with Dead, telling everyone that once a body is raised, they can only ask a total of five questions before the spell is spent and the corpse is dead again forever. This seems to imply asking the reanimated corpse five questions only, unfortunately, the party asking each other also counts... When Forge and Sofina have Edgin captured, Forge laments that he would hate to see his old friend die. Thus, he decides to leave the room so he wouldn't have to. Edgin's hell-bent on getting the Tablet of Reawakening to resurrect Kira's mother... which is what he does in the end when he uses it to resurrect Holga, who has been Kira's Parental Substitute and surrogate mother ever since her infancy.

The Team
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_ea08e9
comment
The Team: Naturally, for a movie based on the tabletop RPG. Edgin is The Leader, who comes up with the plans and the person to whom everyone looks to for guidance. Holga's strength and fighting prowess make her a natural fit for The Big Guy but she mostly serves as Edgin's lancer, being his closest confidant and friend. Simon is a purely magic-based combatant; his role in the group is to come up with unorthodox ways around their various obstacles. Doric's shapeshifting gives her a variety of roles, such as brawn (especially in owl-bear form), espionage, and lateral thinking. Xenk the Paladin is a Guest-Star Party Member who guides the heroes through the Underdark and proves himself a much more capable combatant than the rest of them but takes his leave once his part in the quest is done so the others won't be Overshadowed by Awesome. Kira is The Heart of the team, being beloved by everyone and acting as their Morality Pet. She also assists in various heists with her invisibility necklace.

Mobile Maze: Downplayed. The maze in the High Sun Games doesn't rearrange its layout, but as the Games continue, more and more of the walls are lowered into the ground, making the players easier prey for the monsters. The crew escapes by jumping into a gelatinous cube right before it drops, then having Doric Wild Shape out so she can pull them out below the surface of the arena.

comment
Homage Shot: There are three shots in this film that are directly taken from velociraptor scenes in Jurassic Park. The opening prison cart drop off is blocked just like the velociraptor intro. The overhead shot where the party pulls Doric away from the dragon's bite is nearly identical to when Grant pulls Lex up into the air ducts away from the jumping velociraptor. After the displacer beast's dwarven victim realizes the true hunter is over his shoulder, it is framed the same way as when Robert Muldoon meets his end after muttering "Clever girl" to the alpha hunter.

Rising Water, Rising Tension: In the Underdark, a dragon corners the party in an underwater cavern, and damages it enough that water starts pouring in from above. To stop them all from dying watery deaths, Edgin quickly devises a plan for Simon to blow open the cavern roof with his magic. It works and the party swims to safety.

Evil Plan: Why Sofina was backing Forge to become Lord of Neverwinter, so he could restart the Games and draw as huge a crowd as possible. Sofina would then unleash the Beckoning Death, turning almost the entire populace of Neverwinter into an undead army and allow Szass Tam to have a foothold into the rest of the realm.

comment
Easily Forgiven: Holga doesn't seem to hold any ill will against Edgin for having the instinct to abandon her in the heist gone wrong when Sofina's time stop spell engulfs her. Justified, as she knew he was trying to get the tablet for Kira to get her mother back, and Holga loves her every bit as much. Also, given that nothing is shown of the intervening two years between that heist and the start of the film, she might well have had hard feelings to start but has now forgiven him. Or that she knew, if Edgin had escaped, his second order of business would have been busting her out (his first order of business, naturally, being reuniting with his wife).

Platonic Life-Partners: Edgin and Holga's relationship is the cornerstone of the movie — they are longtime best friends, co-parent Edgin's daughter, and recruit the rest of the team together. Their relationship remains platonic throughout the film, and they at one point specifically shoot down a bartender's belief that they're together.

The Archmage: While neither of them appear in the flesh, Elminster Aumar is named as being one of Simon's ancestors, while Mordenkainen from Greyhawk is named as the creator of the arcane seal locking the treasure room of Castle Never as well as that of the Helm of Disjunction. They are two of the most powerful wizards ever. Szazz Tam is generally considered the most powerful lich (undead wizard) in the world, and one of the most powerful wizards in general. His only significant drawback being that he only has power within the nation of Thay.

Role-Playing Game 'Verse
 Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves / int_f76f8dd0
comment
Role-Playing Game 'Verse: Subtle, but present. Every spell shown in the movie is recognisable from the game. Dicebreaker has an article listing all of them. When Simon's introduced, he's showing off a series of deeply boring spells to an audience. One member of the audience heckles that even their kid can cast the same cantrip; many species in D&D have inate spellcasting (tieflings and people with elemtal beings in their ancestry in particular), which starts with a cantrip they can use, even at first level. It's then revealed he's using another spell (likely Magnetism) to rob them. The concentration mechanic means he would be limited in what spells he could cast, and being a sorcerer he would also be limited in how many he had access to. Finally, when he's fleeing from the mob, the effects he gets when trying to cast spells are all results you can get from the Wild Magic table, suggesting that's his subclass. At the climax, Edgin's life is narrowly saved when Holga disrupts Sofina's concentration on the spell she was using to animate the statue attacking him. This is exactly how it would work in the 5th edition rule set (any attack forces the caster to make a saving throw to avoid dropping the spell). Simon is unable to counterspell Sophia in the flashback, but succeeds in the finale; since he would have levelled up by then and have access to the same spell slots she does, and will have increased his spellcasting modifier, this makes perfect sense. A group of intellect devourers show no interest in attacking the party, which Edgin takes as somewhat insulting; the group at that point consists of a bard, a barbarian, a druid, a sorcerer, and a paladin, none of which are classes that rely very heavily on the Intelligence stat. Simon is depicted as a rather inept sorcerer, something he's deeply insecure about. This makes sense as Sorcerers are charisma-based casters, and Simon is demonstratively not a charismatic individual, so he likely doesn't have a very good spellcasting ability. The illusion of his grandfather basically goads him into standing up for himself, which improves his spellcasting considerably; this would fit with the game defining charisma as force of personality.

Talking Is a Free Action: Despite Dungeons & Dragons being the Trope Namer and codifier for playing this trope straight, this film frequently subverts it: During the battle over the Helm of Disjunction, most of the barbarians killed after passing the helmet to another were busy explaining to their comrades why the Helm of Disjunction should never fall into the hands of their enemies, thus giving said enemies an opportunity to bisect them at the waist, shoot their head and eye out with an arrow, etc. During the climax, Sofina starts angrily ranting at the party before Edgin sneaks up behind her and belts her in the head with his lute.
