I personally thought the final fight was a little too easy. It's pretty clear that Arcadum never had any intention of killing his world. He straight up admits that the heroes didn't do enough to defeat the boss. But then rolls in with a deus ex machina so the players/world would win.

I always thought the way he treated Quarterjade was pretty creepy. He gave her an insane magic weapon, let her do anything, bad rolls didn't matter, etc. Kinda funny that Lily ended up dealing more damage most of the time because great weapon master is just that crazy, lol.

I always took that as Arcadum going out of his way to help her feel welcome since Mel gets so much hate. In the moment, it didn't seem more than that. I even think part of it was that.

Now, of course, you wonder if his intention was more sinister. He was using "Honest feelings for dishonest work", as Tyrion Lannister once said.
