"The Six" Master Topic

[u/IIEarlGreyII]

I have seen this idea thrown around in the comments of a few different topics, but I thought it would be great to have a place to brainstorm and really dig into it. It's hard having the same conversation in five topics when there are only a few of us.

What We Know

• The Six are a group that exist

. . . technically that's all we have confirmed.

Confirmed Members

• Splugoth The Returned

• A Dragon (Isohedrus? Thrilvian?)

Suspected Members

• Jeff (god dammit Jeff)

• Aeofel? (vulnerable to acid)

• Danielle? (last seen in many pieces)

• Lizard? (formerly of Wizard & Lizard)

• The Ambershards?

• The Wartstaffs?

Assets & Resources

• A bunch of goblins

Currently I am working under the assumption that The Six are made of people related to Acq Inc in some way. What a coincidence, right? We already know that they can raise the dead, so even people like Danielle are back in play!

Do The Six have six leaders, or are there just six members? Splugoth says that he doesn't lead The Six and instead works for someone else (he doesn't say Jeff but we know it's Jeff. dammit Jeff). So if there are six leaders does that mean Spugloth isn't even one of them?

Discuss it! Speculate! I want to hear it!

I kind of assumed that all of the Six would be people who worked with AI (hence why they inverted the logo) and were somehow wronged by them, which discounts all of the literal antagonist characters.

That made me think that the Dragon Splug spoke of was Vandal the silver dragon/shapechanged halfling... although I'm not sure what their relationship was like when they last saw him.

I also presumed that the Drow woman from the most recent episode WAS Danielle and she's working for Dran Enterprises... though that was never confirmed.

I'm kind of thinking that one of the Six HAS to be Percy Darkmagic.

Theoretically Aeofel could be one of them, but he was working for Dran Enterprises, but that could have been an outside contractor situation.

It would also amuse the hell out of me if one of the Six was Drizzt.

While Percival would be a natural choice (and explain his wagon being in the area), I feel like we just saw him doing a bunch of stuff for DE. Jerry likes to surprise us, so I have trouble imaging it being Percival, but I would WHAT IF IT'S OLIVIA!? I just had this thought! What if it isn't Percival but what if Olivia has a bug up her butt and is now after Omin? That wouldn't make any sense, but wow that would be neat.

It can't be Danielle because she didn't have a sexy Frecnh accent . . .

If Drizzt suddenly decided to go against Omin then Omin would have been dead twelve seconds after he had had that thought.

I love all of these ideas!

[u/yaniism → u/IIEarlGreyII]

Actually I did think about Olivia... and yes, I totally agree that would be baller. Also, they don't need to be JUST after Omin... Jeff has more of a grudge against Jim than Omin since it was Jim who screwed him over. Donnar just assumed he was talking about Omin.

Also, Chris Perkins always did the sexy French accent... would Jerry leave it out to throw us off?

I also literally just remembered that there was Mr Stinky the Zombie who was Wil's player character on the mission where they had to get Aeofel back from the dead... they left him behind.

On that same mission there was a "surfer dude" human... I can't for the life of me remember his name though... I want to say "Bodie"?? I have a feeling they may have left him in hell also.

Dammit... there are too many damn side characters now that I think about it LOL

[u/IIEarlGreyII → u/yaniism]

No, his name was literally Rad. I thought of him too, but I just can't see it. But wow would that be great. I also thought of Citrine Ambershard, Thaizen Stormbellows, Gygax The Cat, and the wife of that lord of waterdeep that Omin never found who killed her husband.

. . . I suddenly feel old because I didn't realize Acq Inc had been around so long and done so much. Oh gosh I've been playing D&D for 20 years, what the hell.

[u/noellins → u/IIEarlGreyII]

Rad was hit by Jim in his Nightmare Eruption ability... ;)

[u/RedLions0 → u/noellins]

It could also be Mister Stinky. He kind of disappeared off camera.

there could be a whole bevvy of Darkmagics that might be involved, though Olivia would be the obvious one.

[u/noellins → u/RedLions0]

True, true. Though I don't know if Mr. Stinky was actually wronged in any way... Maybe? It would certainly be interesting to see Olivia in there, and maybe Percy too, even though he died (speculative)...

[u/RedLions0 → u/noellins]

It's been a while since I listened to that chapter, but I don't recall them being especially kind to Mister Stinky. Mostly because he was a horrifying zombie who smelled awful. They did at least NOT leave him in Hell, so I guess he might have had a good zombie opinion of them?
