Nice opening scene with Grimenghast (sp), Vinnie, and Liu Xi. The demon lord is a nasty, manipulative piece of work, though he's got a ways to go before he can be considered to be in the same league as the Hooded Hood. Or the new temporary sorceror supreme, it would appear.

The key to my conception of Grimpenghast was expressed by Vinnie when he said that the demon lord can understand every negative, shameful, weak part of his enemies - but he can't begin to comprehend the positive parts of the heroes. That's why Grimpenghast can be beaten.
