Actually, we couldn't kill Azzur in Assassins as it would create a paradox. Port of Peril occurs after Assassins and we are told in PoP that Throm is dead, so Azzur has to survive.
Taking Throm out of Assassins would fix the problems, but I have thought of an alternative ending that is more satisfactory and also fulfills Ian's need to tie it to another book:
Player clobbers Ironface on his own. Joins entry to DD as in book, but when confronting Azzur on podium, runs him through with sword then uses scroll of invisibility to escape (player still has this because they use elf boots to escape orcs earlier on). Azzur survives, but realises hero who killed Z Bone actually more formidable that thought and he is actually gettable himself, so Azzur changes tactics and seeks to resummon Z Bone (leads into PoP). Player, meanwhile, escapes Fang by becoming a strongarm with Big Jim Sun.

An unrelated thought has occurred to me Throm might just be a common name, particularly among barbarians (like Kylltrog for Orcs), Throm might be Allansian\Titan for John; it's more of a stretch to assume the other adventurers were a similar composition to that in DD by chance (do they have a quota of some kind?). Sadly that makes almost as much sense as positing your adventurer will certainly die in DD. Obviously it's absolutely not Sir Ian's intention.. Or seemingly..

Actually, that is the only way that AoA's ending may make sense - that AoA's Throm is not the same Throm of DD (despite looking a bit like him) - as someone earlier in this thread already ventured out.

I'd forgotten about\not read the 5 year old discussion in this thread about Sir Ian's continuity which is about as broken as the difficulty in Blood Of The Zombies.
The events in Deathtrap Dungeon do not describe the protaganist in Assassins Of Allansia, so you must either be a different contestant from the protaganist or more likely a different person. The Throm of DD is dead in Port Of Peril meaning the Throm from Assassins Of Allansia must just be another Throm with the same name and the same missing eye.
So, this seriously forced and falsehood-ridden narrative is shoehorned just after a similiarly forced and loophole-ridden conversation with Lord Azzur (because there's no reason you couldn't tell him a false number of neckaces).

Sir Ian seems like the sort of person who would paint every wall in his house a different, ugly shade of yellow.
This borders on a personal attack. A bizarre one, but the intent to insult is clear regardless. Do you need a reminder of the Forum Rules?

The order is Knight, Elf, Barbarian, Ninja, YOU, Barbarian. You see Throm enter third, and when your turn comes, you are greeted by a wall of noise from the excited crowd. So, Ninja killed ZB, or DD hero, or non-Throm Barbarian. I would have loved being Elf beauty in AoA...

Well, since we know that DD's Throm did not enter third (the other Barbarian does, we find him skewed to a plank earlier on), we can safely assume that it is a different edition of "the Walk" than the one featured in DD.

It sounds like we need to get the TVA involved, Ian has broken the sacred timeline
