    The DMPC character who just walked off into the horizon in a perfectly straight line when his job was done is my favorite minor detail of the movie.

      Xenk was great - that walking off bit was apparently because they hadn’t called “cut” yet and he just kept walking. So they let him, then turned it into a gag.

      I think he was supposedly crafted as a replacement for a planned inclusion of Drizzt as a character, but I like my headcanon that he’s basically the DMPC sent to deus ex machina them out of their worst fuckups.

        Hes clearly there because Drizzt’s player couldn’t make it that session but the DM had worked his intro into an integral plot point so he winged a DMPC to fill the role.
