I think this is the part that would make the most sense for Ludinus to show to BH and co - like to emphasize that the gods do not take their creations seriously, that their fury is dismissable and not worth respecting - even the Matron doesnt exactly shake that image, calling the angel a child for their understandable grievances given that the angel Does Not have the full picture... the Matron promises to keep the angel safe but once the angel has yielded all their knowledge pchoooooo off into death with ye

it just hit me how hilarious it is for Tal to wear a CHVRCHES shirt to the deity episodes

This was such a powerful scene

This entire sequence is brilliant, but for me, the panic and crack in Brennan's voice when the planetar begs "Please don't take it!" the second time was the thing that absolutely floored me, and I've been thinking about it ever since. Because that is the ultimate removal of agency, and if anything displays the unthinking cruelty of the gods it's how Corellon does this so matter of factly. Just reaches out to take the very feelings from this being, anger that is JUSTIFIED and HARD EARNED. and THEIRS, because it's inconvenient. Brennan absolutely NAILED that sudden panic. Imagine feeling everything you value being pulled away. It made me think of the Tranquil in Dragon Age. Cut off from dreams and emotion, compliant, calm, and empty, a fate worse than death. And then "You should not have made us GOOD" at the end. Holy shit. BUT ALSO, Abubakar playing the cool condescension of a being who truly BELIEVES they know better, that this tiny creation truly can't comprehend. Like that parent who can't believe that children have rich, deep emotional lives, and aren't simply there to be molded. HE'S PLAYING IT SO WELL, he's making me DEEPLY dislike Corellon, and it's a thing of, well... beauty :p

"it's war to us, to them is just a squabble"

“If you wanted to make us to serve the gods you should not have made us good” give me chills like “To reach a hand down to somebody they need to be beneath you”

God, I loved the perspective that Brennan brought by using this angel to express what it would be like to live through a time when the gods had gone silent. (Plus the sadness in the fact that the only thing the angel could count as being theirs was their anger, and a god could have chosen to take that away from them too.)

I really didn’t like the gods in this conversation they came across as incredibly demeaning and was borderline gaslighting the angel.

Abu during this entire episode was amazing 😍

Ashley's so locked in to their conversation. She's literally us in this moment.

Everything about this conversation is so perfect also the concept of a conversation between beauty and death

God Laura and Abu played this so intelligently. She called his bluff, fished out the REAL reason he was hesitant and addressed it directly, letting him know he would only be losing something precious in the short run, and could create again in the future. Abu played the guilt filled god of Beauty perfectly, working through the grief and heartbreak of his most precious jewel being threatened and reasoning through it all elegantly.

Abu is making me admire Corellon again

abu is absolutely stealing the show imo, i really hope he shows up again in future campaigns/oneshots!!!

Immortality is a curse. The old god understands this the new god will be finding it out. Sometimes things just need to run its course and end. It’s ironic that the person who controls death has to be reminded of that fact. As death is the last to go when everything finally does truly end.

This conversation is amazing… an old god that did it for too long and a new god who wants to experience infinity

Such a good conversation! Can someone tell me what the arch heart did to be at fault for “all this “

Sam being clutch as always. Best player at the table.

Love that he brought out the Akechi screeching

wtf did I just stumble across, this is so weird

Noshir had to start covering his mouth to hide his laughing and stay in character.

I suspect that Travis meant for Cerrit to be as full of hubris as the rest of the characters, but this was just a great example of learning more about your character as you play them, and how a character can really lead you somewhere unexpected.

Knowing what we know now, this wasn't just Sam saying goodbye to his character, this was possibly Sam saying Goodbye to the table and all of us. Remember, you matter, may every day be a smiley day...

I mean the ruled otto’s irresistible dance wrong but hey that’s still badass. Why you don’t always need to get all the rules right to have epic moments.

I miss letters

Where do I watch this?

What spell did Sam use to change it to Charisma?

i still hope a future guest will play the real whitestone andy just to mess with marisha.

So Aeor is a regime that extorts people of their food and raw materials in place for indentured labor and whoever earns the most for shelter. What a bunch of assholes. No wonder the gods smacked them from the sky.

So they are the gods in human or mortal form right?

Man, that Aeormaton sounds so Regal

I love this man

Knowing what we know now, this ad has be bawling my eyes out 🥲❤️

the fact Ashley has a picture of sam makes me so happy and how much they missed him

My favorite part, fitting that he was the only one to survive, the rest paid for their sins

Robbie started to go in but then asked can I kiss you? And that's cute.

Did anyone else hear the hook from million dollar baby kick in at this moment?

TEAMWORK BITCHES

If we knew then what we know now...

Now i have two favorite paladin bards

This just hits different after watching Sam's announcement video today

Braius being introduced with a throat injury has a whole new meaning after learning what Sam has been going through these past few months. Glad he's back and is doing better!

Ashley and Laura's reaction has a whole new context, now. Glad he's back to playing with his friends.

Ever since Robbie came in to the CR group he just elevates everyone. And seeing everyone get giddy for him it just wonderful as well :)

Well this his all sorts of different today.

This hits so much harder now after Sam's cancer announcement, this wasn't just a character heroically sacrificing himself to save his friends this was a man facing down his own mortality and telling his closest friends how much he loves them

So glad that Sam is doing okay and won the battle against his health problems.

This is so different after seeing Sam's news today.

I have even more respect for Sam now, if that was even possible <3

This views different knowing now that he was going into cancer surgery and radiation treatments... Love you Sam, you epic epic boss! 😍❤
