@Kristopher Chavez i agree. But what Trent suggested was that pain itself makes you grow. Pain puts you in a context. Bonds are then what makes you evolve and grow from that situation. So both are needed.

[@mordirit8727]

@@giorgiomauceri410 not quite, and I think that was Cad's point. You can certainly teach someone with pain, but there is a breaking point some can't take it anymore (like what happened to Caleb). But you can achieve the same results _without_ the pain, and I think that was Cad's point. Astrid, Aedwolf and Bran already admired and respected Ikithon long before he forced them to murder their parents to prove their loyalty. Caleb, having learned 99% of his magic outside of Ikithon's teachings, seems to be stronger than either Astrid or Aedwolf. So in short, Trent's method of teaching was unnecessarily brutal since he could have achieved by just approaching them with interest would have been stronger than what he got (2 seemingly loyal students who seem to be actively plotting to murder him and 1 complete rebel) and wasn't even more effective than just letting people walk around and learn magic on their own. Couldn't be any more of a failure as a teacher if he purposefully tried to.

Really Veth is just a less extreme version of Nott, which Sam said before her transformation that was the difference, I don't think Nott was ever Chaotic Evil, just every Chaotic and didn't think of consequences (explosive arrow, the trap that killed her, starting a war back up) I can still very much see Veth and Nott as the same person, they still act the same in attitude and personality except Veth is just calmer and more chill

Marisha expression as Sam give Vetch antlers.

[@SaudePyter]

The M9 telling Luke how awesome are their adventures. I can see Luke as a NPC in the next campaign, determined to overcome his mother's deeds

[@SyniStar616]

I wouldn't be surprised if campaign 3 is set 14(or more) years in the future, and Luke is one of the party members, trying to uncover the truth of his mother's and her friends' adventures across Wildmount. Might be interesting if Vesper had a reason to pop in as a PC too.

As much as I love this scene for its burn value, there’s also a very important life lesson behind this exchange, one I’ve learned as a teacher: As you go through life you’ll meet people with whom you’re at odds, who anger you, and who disappoint you. If you want to criticize them, which is a perfectly healthy way to deal with stress caused by that person towards you, the most effective and beneficial way to do so is this. 1, compliment the person on their positive qualities, 2, voice your criticism, and 3, offer a path for growth and change. And always, ALWAYS use kind language.

[@bethisabee]

The whole part with the m9 barging in on the Brenattos home just goes to show just how much of a family they are at this point (reminds me a little of extended family when we all meet at my grandparents' but like, way friendlier/cooler) it's why it weirds me out when any of them talk of an 'after' because I couldn't not imagine them being in each others lives!

[@Dekkuran]

This was a good collection from a fantastic episode full of great dialogue. Some honorable mentions for me were Travis asking if they have any coats and Marisha's suspicious eye squints at the owl. 😆

[@haildorothygale]

Poor Yeza. On the one hand he's got his wonderful wife back, and she's somehow even more wonderful, and he loves her... He just didn't bank on her having five new amazing, fantastic (fuckwit) friends who think it's appropriate to gift his son explosives, and giant fey canines who will blink in an out of existence within seconds and yet somehow have managed to take a dump in his slippers in the mean time, omg. The seven foot bovine-looking friend would be okay, if he didn't seem to take such enjoyment in his role as therapist-enabler.

Travis' face journey during Cad's smackdown is 💖💖💖

[@aethyr4006]

Hearing the description I was like: "ho I can't wait for the fanarts" then Laura "ho no she's going to kill them!" XD

[@SerpentVX]

I didn't even see it like an insult or a burn. Cad isn't lying that it was a gift, and him mentioning Trent's status is part of it. Trent is so powerful both magically and politically that the only people he has in his life are various enemies that want him dead or deposed, and allies who are either too indoctrinated or too scared to be anything other than Yes men. Cad is the only one at that table or in his life who is willing to give him bare honesty. That's why he said it was a gift and that's why he said such harsh words to him and ended it with "respectfully".

[@Nechrostriker4]

It also feels like Cad is saying "I will not mourn you, and I'm a gravekeeper".

[@cyanic3148]

the little Percivoice in the back of Tal's head is nodding in approval

[@rooski1191]

I love Talisen and what Cad said to Trent here was perfect for the character. From a meta perspective though, he and Trent are two sides of the same coin. They look at each other and think the other is wrong, when in truth, both are correct. Pain can be the driving force that pushes people beyond what they thought possible. It can also shut them down, stifle their creativity and bury them in despair. Likewise, love can build people up from a broken place. Love can teach people they have worth, and in turn lead them to recognize the worth of others. Love can also lead to coddling. Someone unchallenged can become inept, and unable to carry themselves through the burdens of life. Love can lead one to turn a blind eye to abusive and destructive behavior. The truth is, we need pain, and we need love, to be our best selves.

It’s love that makes people. The pain is inconsequential. It’s love that saves them. And you would know that, but you have none around you, you said so yourself.
