comment
The final chapter of the first trilogy in the Threadbare saga.Threadbare has gathered a cadre of loyal followers, almost all of them resurrected from the dead and placed in the bodies of toy golems. Now he needs to reach out to the dwarves, form an alliance, overthrow the king, and save the world.Easy peasy.

Church Militant: The dwarfs at first appear to hate the idea of an army of golems and Doll Haunters helping them in the fight against Melos, because Aeterna hates the undead. Turns out, that was a ruse to trick The Lurker and King Grundi loves the idea of an unstoppable tide of sturdy golems!

The Smart Guy: Grissle was a genius before the changeover. Then he took twenty-five levels in four different smart guy classes, unlocked the Experimenter class, and went to town. Nobody has been able to replicate his research in the fifteen years since everything went to hell because he was just that smart.

The Reveal
 Threadbare: The Right to Arm Bears / int_6b2b3b59
comment
The Reveal: All of Cylvania is a dungeon, and Melos is the dungeon master. Gristle, the oldest and most intelligent of the Seven, went to the dwarfs for help and figured out how to use dungeon cores to turn Cylvania into a dungeon surrounded by dungeons. Their entrances were all inside the main dungeon, so no one from the outside could get in, and no one could get out. But then he turned himself into a lich in order to avoid dying of cancer, and almost all of the rest of the Seven died fighting him. Melos, faced with a damaged construct he couldn't understand, turned to his cultist past and resurrected most of his dead friends as incredibly powerful demons (the Hand), planted them in pillars as midbosses, and placed himself in the main pillar as the dungeon boss, starting his fifteen year nightmare.

comment
Foreshadowing: Looking forward to the new Cylvania that will rise from Ragandor's ashes, Threadbare befriends the Gribbits rather than fighting them. Instead of a day spent grinding levels, it becomes a week of trading and planning. As Threadbare ruminates on not feeling guilt about killing dungeon monsters, he notes that they keep coming back from the dead. Like the Lurker.

Never Live It Down: In-Universe, Melos was the least trusted of The Seven, thanks to his past as a cultist and his current status as a Demon Knight. It's no wonder, then, that everyone thought he had assassinated King Garamundi in order to seize the throne.

Elite Mooks: Though the Hand were mentioned in the second book, they weren't really discussed. Here, they're a major threat. They're five demons created from the dead remains of the Seven after Melos, the sole survivor, reanimated them following the battle with the lych Gristle had become. The Inquisitor: Anayse Layd'I, Melos's right hand. The Ninja: A ninja who does lethal sneak attack damage. The Legion: A summoner who calls upon a host of lesser demons.

From Nobody to Nightmare: Honestly, most of the heroes of this story count. Threadbare was just a teddy bear, Pulsivar was just a cat, and most of their golem troops were just villagers who happened to fall under the sway of an evil cult. Nevertheless, they form the core of the army that destroys The Hand, overthrows King Ragandor, and saves Cylvania from the damage done by a desperate, brilliant old wizard 15 years earlier.

The Power of Friendship: After the dungeon of Jotunher closes, the Jarl is understandably pissed at Threadbare for insulting and injuring her (it was the Lurker, of course). So Threadbare apologizes and gives her a hug, then asks her to join in on killing the guy who did it. It works. Then Threadbare does it again, helping the dwarfs and the giants secure a lasting peace and turning on Melos's wild kingdom.
