So that was a fucking lie

But lets talk about that because I love how this characterizes J'mon

Every 10ish years J'mon seeks out Zerxus to loose a game of cards against him.

Frankly I already love that for them, what a stupid thing to do and I love the idea that they collect rare artifacts for this reason (even though I do not think that is true).

Its even better when you look at the game they play. It's a talking game, a game of questions, and one with reasonably high stakes.

When you know The Thing About J'mon^tm this makes perfect sense and it's so funny to me

Spoilers under the cut, so if you don't know The Thing About J'mon come back later

I wonder if TLOVM is going to keep Scanlan/Sam not calling for J'Mon Sa Ord / Devo'ssa with the brass flute until the last minute like an idiot. They have to right? Are they going to come up with a better reason for that or let it be a Scanlan fuck up? I know that Sam was trying to keep it in reserve for if they needed it later for some other fight, probably Raishan or even something else. But that was stupid because J'Mon very clearly only agreed to help them fight Thordak, not anything else and they're a person with free will, not a magic item you can hold in reserve for whenever you want. (Sam's usually good at strategy, he's allowed a major fuck up at least once lol).

Here's the scene of J'mon saying they'd help from the transcripts:
