And yet we get about half of the verbal sparring back and forth before the real fighting begins. It wasn't odd for the setting of the show. However odd it might have been, it's better than anything D&D have written from scratch thus far.It's almost all about things that didn't happen in the series - Willem Darry and Paxter Redwyne were both cut.
It's also originally a dream sequence - people just don't talk like that normally, which isn't an issue for a fever dream, but seems odd for a literal vision.
