Tropes

## Plot

### General

* Five-Man Band - Originally, the Red Rites only had the five members. They don't fit the archetypes too well, and didnt get fleshed out dynamics before Darcy and Nym came along, but most likely the archetypes are as follows: Leader = Cinna, Lancer = Babo, Big Guy = Skoria, Smart Guy = Leor and Heart = Brimy.
* Rule of Seven - There are currently seven members of the Red Rites (depending on whether or not you include Kane).

### Pit Campaign

* Great Escape - The campaign revolves around the seven inmates successfully escaping a prison that's supposedly impossible to escape.

### Everfall Arc

* Portal Cut - To kill (or at least subdue) the Puppeteer, the Red Rites close the portal as it moves through, severing it in half.
* You All Meet In An Inn - Although the campaign started in a field, its implied that they all met the night before in a drunken stupour. Darcy, Nym and later Yossel also all first appear in the Molten Goose.

### Frostford Arc

* Moving Beyond Bereavement - This is the main theme of the arc, with the Bone Queen learning to live with the memories of killing her family and Leor accepting his part in the death of Two

### Silverbreak Arc

* Fake Memories - It's revealed that Gale Pridestone has changed many people's memories of the Attack on Callstall to vilify Kane further
* Kangaroo Court - There are no lawyers available to defend Kane, and in the end Kane still gets convicted despite obvious tampering of evidence on the part of the prosecution

### Mirror Dimension Arc

* Prisoner's Dilemma - The "Trust or Forsake" decision is a slightly modified version of this problem, with prison time swapped out for challenge difficulty
* Sadistic Game Show - Del and Bell's method of entertaining the patrons involves putting the contestants through a lot of painful decisions and forced sacrifices

## Characters

### Leor

* Mad Scientist - Leor's ethics seem much more in favour of the pursuit of knowledge than the wellbeing of his fellow adventurers
* Playing With Fire - Leor is made of fire, and as such can use it to his advantage
* Survivor Guilt - Leor only survived in the Crystal Kingdom due to the intervention of Two, and feels great guilt over this

### Skoria

* Eyepatch Of Power - Skoria lost his eye in the Mirror Dimension

### Cinna

* Daddy Had A Good Reason For Abandoning You - Cinna abandoned her family to prevent them from being persecuted for their lycanthropy and keeping them safe from her own transformations
* Hulking Out - Cinna sometimes transforms into her werewolf form due to aggravated emotions
* Lunacy - Cinna's transformation is in part caused by seeing the full moon

### Darcy

* Deal with the Devil - Darcy entered a pact with the Black Razor, and while they may not be exactly Satan, they have asked Darcy to murder some children

### Nym

* Artificial Limbs - After losing their arm in Wood's Bounty, Nym buys a new arm from Crackle, that burns with green fire.
* Life or Limb Decision - When Valka infects Nym with the Purple Curse, Nym chooses to amputate their arm rather than succumb to the curse.
* You Are Not Ready - Nym was kept from the truth about the Purple Curse by her parents and was never allowed to ask questions on the subject

### Yossel

* Golem - Yossel is a construct brought to life by some unknown force

### Kane

* Abusive Parents - Malus has killed Kane many times and scarred him permanently

### Del/Bell

* Game Show Host - They host a game show in the Mirror Dimension

### Malus

* Artificial Limbs - Malus has two robotic arms

### Two

* Taken For Granite - Two turns to crystal after being infected with the Purple Curse
* Mourning a Dead Robot - The Red Rites are very sad after Two is killed.

### Valka

* Sins of our Fathers - Valka tries to kill Nym just because of Violet's responsibility for the Purple Curse

### Violet

* Crystal Prison - When the Red Rites first find Violet, she's trapped inside a large crystal

## Lore

* Crystal Dragon Jesus - It's assumed that the Order of Leviathan has some dragon deity to worship
* Forever War - The Hundred Year War has lasted a long time and has only recently ended
* Power Crystal - Crackle wants the crystals for some reason, and what Leor managed to do to Lee Herming under the crystal's influence is certainly powerful
