Why would Maelstrom disguise himself as another kobold , on an island filled with only sunswords , gnomes , and dwarves , all of which are higher races , and this is a private vacation home for one of the most powerful elven families . The Sunswords would know who are residents on the tiny island . Disguising as another pirate of the same species , who just raided the place is stupid , especially with no other way off the island . It just doesnt make sense . Its true that they can , it isnt just Rob retcon his death but it makes no sense as to how he would get off the island if he lived . His body is in the house of someone he killed and he just raided a Sunsword vacation home , that might as well be a death sentence . In order for Jo Kyrstal to be able to still be alive , be able to get off the island scott free , without anyone seeing him , they would have to retcon the whole campaign . So far im not seeing any paradoxes with him dying EDIT IN NEW CREW , because there is no way he could get off the island if he lived and be free to go do what ever he wants . So this new campaign happens before the events of dingo isles , unless its CLEARLY stated .
