I’m watching the final hour of the episode and like, as someone with a pretty strong taste for gallows humor I’m now imagining Trent Ikithon’s powerpoint presentation, I Should Get To Torture Gifted Zemnian Teenagers, For Nationalism Reasons

anyway

What’s hilarious to me is that when Melora saw her cleric die and Jester trying to revive him, she probably also saw this punk ass archfey, hyperventilating and having a panic attack in the corner, just whispering to himself “you got this, you can do this, yOU Can Do ThIS” and she just kinda sighed and looked at the camera like she was in the office before coming in to assist

Can you imagine how weird it’s going to be when Thuron, the drow from the sewers at the start of the campaign, gets reborn?  I assume that the things the M9 have done are enough to make them famous, and I can only imagine they’re going to continue doing more and more.  Can you imagine being a drow kid, just entering adolescence and starting to put together memories of your previous lives, and realizing as the memories of the last day of your past life come into focus that you met the Heroes of the Dynasty?

And they were a bunch of assholes in a sewer?

There’s probably art of them, stained glass or paintings or something depicting the return of the beacon and there - that one in the middle there, holding out the beacon - that’s the guy you watched whip his dick out and piss on a crownsguard’s helmet.

(and then, whoa, the weirdness of realizing you’re in that picture, too.  you were there, inside that very beacon, at the moment of its return.)

and there, the blue one?  you remember she was upset because she thought the beacon was important for making babies.  she’s widely known as a prophet, now. 

there’s a few in the pictures that you don’t recognize - you’re pretty sure you would have noticed, if there had been a huge barbarian woman or a pink firbolg with them that night - and there’s one in your memory that isn’t there in the pictures or the history books.  but the foulmouthed monk woman, you remember her.

she’s a legend now, the Expositor who found the corruption in both the Empire and the Dynasty, and dragged it into the light.  she’s remembered for her wisdom, and her eloquence, and her unflinching moral compass.

and there she is in the pictures and she’s still wearing the boots she stole from you.

beau:  i just came here for nott’s transformation and i’m feeling so attacked by my backstory rn

And, much akin to dumping a pitcher of cucumber water on the floor for no reason:

🌺🌻🌹🌷🌼🌸 a mural of wildflowers 🌺🌻🌹🌷🌼🌸

Make a human— er, Aasimar/Firbolg/Tiefling ladder.

~Deck Xhorhouse with balls of daylight~

This was a fun one <3 thanks to everyone who hung out on the stream earlier!
