...And that was bloody awesome! Seriously tight video. I liked the series pretty well before, silly but very well-done cross-integration, but this just took it to a completely different level.
Of course, the question that remains is whether the hostile takeover of the 'kingdom' is simply his invented escapism on the tabletop like it is, or if there will actually be some genius plan taking shape further down the road.
Sorcerer makeup is creepy, though.
