Funniest bit of the dnd movie is Xenk clearly being an NPC the DM introduced for lore and plot purposes who’s a competent fighter because of course he is, his reputation and backstory require it. But whoopsies the DM made him too powerful, the whole party likes him, and now they want him to come with to fight the BBEG which will completely and utterly fuck up the encounter balance
So instead of there being any actual plot reason he can’t join Xenk just says “I can’t. This is something only you can do.” And then walks off, never to interact with the party again because the DM just knows those little shits will find a way to use their OP creation against them

Xenk: My kink is a happy and fulfilling relationship where my feelings are acknowledged and respected.
Edgin: Too unrealistic, stick to bondage like everyone else.

"Xenk is the always busy PC" this "Xenk is the exposition NPC" that. You're all wrong. Xenk is the hot and powerful NPC the DM makes to entice and be cherished by the party that keeps popping back up in the game whenever a tiny bit of railroading or "what a coincidence!" Needs to happen. The greatest tool a DM can have.

*if MC was taken by the Senobium and Main Five decided to actually work together to break them out*
Leander: If rummaging through my old folks’ archives has given me any useful information, there exists a master key to the Senobium that deactivates their magical security measures. Kuras: Indeed. Long ago, to keep it safe, the Senobium had entrusted their key to me. Ais: So where is it now? Kuras: In the bowels of the Wastes. Leander: The Wastes? While you were trying to keep it safe? Why would you take it out there? Kuras: It is the last place anyone who values their life would go. Mhin: *sigh* Sounds lovely. Kuras: Quite the opposite. Mhin: I know, I was being ironic. Kuras: I find irony is a blade that cuts they who wield it most especially. Vere: Yeah? iS tHaT whAt yOu fiNd? DoCToR? Leander: Ooookay, can we all put aside trying to kill each other until after I save MC? Ocudeus: *to Ais* Yeah...the Sparrow’s doomed.

D&D Honor Among Thieves (but it's Star Trek AOS)
*Kirk and Uhura in a bar*
Barkeeper: Some supper for you and your wife?
Kirk: What? She's not my wife! That's so gross.
Uhura: Me with that? With those lips?
*minutes later, leaving the bar*
Kirk: What's wrong with my lips?
Uhura: They're too big for your face.
Kirk: What? A lot of people like my lips!

Jaylah: What is it exactly that you bring to this?
Kirk: Me? I'm a planner. You know? I make plans.
Jaylah: You've already made the plan. So what value do you have now?
Kirk: If the plan fails, the existing plan, I make a new plan.
Jaylah: So you make plans that fail.
Kirk: No.
Chekov: He also plays the lute.
Kirk: Chekov, not relevant. Trust me, I'm indispensable.

Bones: In other words, Khan is a real son of a bitch.
Spock: So you blame his mother for his corruption.
Bones: What? No. It's an expression.
Spock: I see. I do not traffic in colloquialisms.
Bones: You're not a lot of fun, are you?
~
*Spock explaining something horrible*
Scotty: Sounds lovely.
Spock: Quite the opposite.
Scotty: I know. I was being ironic.
Spock: I find irony is a blade that cuts he who wields it most especially.
Kirk: Yeah? Is that what you think, Spock?
~
Spock: *referring to intellect devourer monsters* Make no sound. They're drawn to mental energy. The higher the intelligence of the prey, the more likely they are to strike.
Kirk: *after all devourers go by without attacking* Well, that's a little hurtful.
