    Yep, and at some point the DM lost his patience with the group and introduced a friendly OP NPC (the paladin) to get the story rolling already.

      Nah, that wasn’t an NPC, that was a friend who showed up for only a week. That’s why they asked him if they would see him again before he left.

        Also possible, yes. The way he almost acted like a robot at the end was a dig at him being an NPC, I thought. But it could also be a dig at Paladins always being straightforward, literally. That’s the great thing about the movie, many gags work on several levels.

      Another meme I enjoyed was that the DM made up that the hither thither staff was magic just so they could cross the bridge and then the party proceeds to break a poorly thought out, unintentionally over powered item.
