    Stray thought: Could Lucy have been at such a card tournament while Diane was meeting Susan at the mall? Lucy fits the roleplaying profile as well as Catalina does, and I've always thought she might have been one of the nerd girls Catalina joined when she went to Salty Crackers with Susan during Spring Break in Hammerchlorians.

    I don't know, when Diane was eager to watch a movie because it had griffins in it, Lucy had a dismissive attitude, but I do concede that the avatar she used during her chat with Diane lends credence to your theory.

    Should also add that the only possible reason he'd mention his daughter as someone who would assure Ellen of his intentions is if his daughter is someone Ellen knows. Because if it was Sybil or anyone we haven't seen, then what incentive is there for Ellen to believe him.

    Wait, it can't be, is he Lucy's dad!?!?

    Note that the above is in jest.

    No no, I mean he had to have been referring to Kevin there as the life HE unintentionally created, but he'd be using his daughter's experience and his reaction to it (as in he was very supportive of her) as assurance that he would also support letting Kevin teach Ashley.

    It'd make sense if Arthur supported of Mrs Dunkel's decision to keep Elliot rather than put him up for adoption, or maybe she considered abortion and he talked her out of it (which would make for an even better example of his support for life that's unintentionally created, but I won't go into a pro-life vs pro-choice debate), Ellen was also technically a life that was unintentionally created and Ellen does seem to be comparing herself with Kevin with the "Even we have instincts, dude." comment.

     

    It would also explain why Mr and Mrs Dunkel are so chill about magic, Elliot being turned into a girl, Ellen's creation and everything that's happened, if Mrs Dunkel grew up exposed to magic and anything her Dad was involved in, then she'd certainly have become used to it.

    If he's Elliot's grandfather, I'm pretty sure that would have been brought up then.

    Frankly, I expect that as we get to know Voltaire & General Shade Tale better they'll turn out to have reasons for their evil acts that readers can be sympathetic to. (And I'm almost sure Lord Tedd himself will be fully redeemed in the end.)

    We really only have one scene of Shade Tail, so we don't have a lot to go on, but everything we saw about Voltaire doesn't really paint him in a sympathetic light, particularly the part where he considers humanity his toys: http://www.egscomics.com/comic/2018-02-19

    Considering how effective the "Sleep" type spells seem to be in EGS, I really wonder why the Magus types even bother with the flashy fighting magic.

    Magic resistance could render Sleep spells ineffective.

    I wonder if we're even going to find out what the core of the Diamond was in this story?

    There's only so much space left in the storyline. I remember Dan saying this part is the last non-epilogue one.

    It makes me wonder if Susan had considered Tensaided as a father figure for the past while that she's worked for him. As you've stated about him embracing Susan's quirks, she's put up with his quirks as well. Just like Justin, Elliot and Tedd, Tensaided could have been another example that not all men are bad, she likely never felt the need to hammer him at any point.

    Also of note is that she started working for him before she grew out of her men-hating phase. Raised my eyebrow when I first realised that.

    (And Ashley should totally kick something ELSE than Kevin on urteronc. There are plenty of other crates there, aren't they? ... sure, opening or moving them could awake something even worse ...)

    We should probably avoid a disaster dominoes scenario.
