Wisdom was V's dump stat. Clearly.

I repeat my question. Super V is getting owned. Barring some "achilles heel" that Roy or the others can take advantage of, it seems they are totally outclassed.
He/she/it is getting owned, but largely because he/she/it is being very foolish about this (and has also lost the most powerful third of the splice).
I also like the line from Xykon, about how if they were the most powerful souls from the underworld, it still means they were the B-Team, since they didn't manage to stay alive through other means like him.

I feel so embarrassed for V.... You're going up against a lich, get an anti-energy drain item or spell or something, you'd think... but Nooooooo :) But I suppose evil is generally kind of stupid, and as he pointed out, those are two evil Losers V has got in his/her corner.
goddammit his name is Xykon!!! with no "L"!
*nerdrage*
They just have to grind and level up.
The trick to getting Xykon is going to be killing RedCloak first.
This. Xylon (take THAT Rimbo!) is able to be out-planned and out-thought, as he has only one strategy: use arcane power like hammer, and typically only rescued by Redcloak standing forgotten off to the side, observing and puzzling out what the heroes' battleplans are.
That said, Xlylkloln's a lot smarter about using his arcane power than V is. (if ya can't beat 'em...)
Oh, V's plenty smart - witness that extraordinary combo against the dragon. He's just not that wise and he's getting a little tired. As noted.
He's apparently immune to energy drain. He just didn't realize his helpers weren't.
I think the idea is that it's coming off the helpers first, as the highest level parts of the composite.

New one is up, V's in a world of trouble :)

Ouch.
Sigh. Well, no surprises. I don't know, low wisdom, sure, but this is really pretty low IQ, too, for Varsuvius. I suppose going without sleep or meditation for months on end and signing an infernal pact deliberately designed to mess you up might play a role too, but even so, not very smart....
Pwn3d.
V is smart, just smart enough to be a classic victim of Hubris.
So does V get whisked off to burn in hell right away, or does that only happen after he dies?
Also: a "then for than" error. Seriously Mr Burlew, you seem like a smart guy, how the hell do you make a mistake like that?

That might be a key plot point - V clearly thinks it's after death, but the fiends never specified.
Of course, death isn't necessarily ... distant... for V right now.
My theory was that Xy would end up imprisioning V somehow while leaving the soul splice active, so he'd end up in debt for months despite only having ten or fifteen minutes of VAST COSMIC POWER.
Obviously that didn't happen, as V's about to start his next career as a pizza and his "friends" have hit the road.
I suspect a plot twist along the lines of Garth Ennis' "Dangerous Habits" is forthcoming.
I thought the demon/daemon/devil said that his service would be at a time of their choosing?
In the good old days, this whole thing wouldn't have been a problem, since elves used not to have souls anyway.... Sorry, buddy, no resurrection for you... but then again, no hell either. But I guess they eventually got souls through some kind of sidhe sufferage movement or something like that.
They broke their broomsticks and marched on Magic Washington.
Any bets that they'll call in their debt right before V goes down? One of them, anyway.
That's just what I was thinking. Or maybe rescue V in some way so as not to waste their tool. Otherwise I can't see how V isn't dead (I don't see s/him being kept around as a toy) and all that sudden and remarkable progress in re-assembling the group is wasted.
Nope. I still think they're saving it for something Snarl related. Calling it in now would be premature (and not nearly as dramatic).
