i also always it interesting to consider in the grand scheme of things if Mollymauk survived and we never had Caduceus in the M9. Namely, what would happen with Fjord if he never had guidance from Caduceus to accept the Wildmother in place of Uk'otoa? Would they have managed to free Yasha from Obann as quickly as they did or at all before he started breaking the fane? Interesting things to think about

@@emmarod8746 I think it comes down to luck. I don't mean the dice, I mean some characters are destined for greatness. Just take ability scores. Most people have 10s. There's the gifted people who become NPCs of prominence. And then, there's the PCs, the heroes of legend. Or at the very least, heroes of their own stories. The reason why it seems skewed for the PCs is because we don't play the boring people. We play those 1 in 1000 people who are a cut above the rest, destined for greatness. Or, you know, the ones destined to die to a critical hit from a kobold at level 1 and expire on the cave floor. But then we find another hero the next session.

@@3rdDayfan777 MOST adventurers spend their entire lives doing things like, fighting goblins and defending caravans from bandits. Maybe they'll have a VERY exciting story where they ran into a TROLL and fought a fierce battle, slaying the monster. PC adventurers get thrown into WORLD ENDING SHIT. The difference in experience is just VAST. They just keep chasing that higher level enemy, you know speaking metaphorically but also entirely literally. If you look at how much XP a regular goblin is worth, they give out 50 XP a piece, and they have 7 hp. Enough of them at low levels can be a challenge, but even after just 3 or 4 levels they're practically a joke unless you face an entire horde of the things. If you don't move on to fighting bigger and stronger enemies, your experience is just going to plateau and for all practical purposes, you just STOP leveling. Over like DECADES of fighting goblins and bandits and other common enemies, maybe you'll get to level 7 or so if you're dedicated and working basically all the time. There aren't enemies around every corner though, there will be stretches of time where just, nothing happens. It even says in the DM Guide, levels 1-4 are local heroes, basically your standard for adventurers. If you don't get past that local level, traveling the lands and searching out calamities that effect more than a town, you just can't get the experience you need to push yourself past those low levels.

Oct 12, 2021 on Twitter: Me, to Matt: There’s something I’d been hoping to know more about but wasn’t addressed in the C2 Wrap-Up: Zeenoth’s corruption and Thoreau’s deal with him. Specifically, did Clara know what was really going on, or did he hide that from her? And how deep did the corruption go? Because I want to believe that he kept her in the dark, knowing she’d object to it but wanted to keep her under his thumb. And also that she was just as much a victim as her daughter, and that hopefully following the trial, he comes home to an empty house, as she and TJ left him. Matt's response: Clara was not aware of the depths it went, but she did not follow on her suspicions either. Even so, its is a complicated dynamic within the family. I imagine Thoreau’s toxic behaviors are very specific in their timing & targets, and otherwise appears a wonderful husband/father. In my mind, those revelations shook up the dynamic and allowed Clara the strength and impetus to take TJ and leave. She isn’t without her feeling of guilt for not seeing things as they were/believing him entirely, but she is trying to begin anew and make amends. ---------- So yeah, even Clara and TJ get a happy ending. And it's my belief that Clara reconnects with Beau and they start over as a family with Yasha And TJ.

So the Hag kept her promise. Thoreau's spawn took everything from him, and it is 100% his fault because he abused her. Out of fear of the Hag. Don't make deals with hags. On that note, if Beau had taken the Hag's deal to be disappeared, she probably would have made TJ the subject of Thoreau's demise, ruining his and Clara's lives as well...

He never really gave false names while everyone else threw them around like party favors, which already had me thinking Caleb was a false name because he was the most paranoid and cautious of the group. And his reaction in that moment blared all kinds of alarms in my head. I watched it a few times, and was pretty sure it was because that was his name.

Really appreciate Matt near the end reminding everyone in the audience, especially us DMs, that he's human. Not every ruin is fleshed out. Not every room in the happy fun ball has full lore, mechanics and architecture written down and ready to go. It's ok to have fun in the moment sometimes and it's ok to wait until players confirm an interest in something to deepen and/or really create it. We want the illusion of an entire world in our brains, we don't need to actually laboriously make something that our players will only explore 0.42% of.

It's part of the fun for the DM too. When you're just reading the script it feels a bit like you're babysitting. But when you read the room and see what tickles your players and react to it by fleshing out the bits that matter to them in a way that makes it fun for everyone, that's what makes it exciting and fulfilling. Give and receive and go with the flow kind of situation. It's almost like you're having sex using your minds.

I think even the little bit of time and the care he showed Caleb already did his bit. There's a reason Caleb made that Transmuter's stone for him. Even the divine intervention wound up just a reroll of the raise dead that CALEB cast. And then they get Kingsley, instead of Molly. Because; "it doesn't matter who you were, it matters who you are now." And using a Transmuter's stone to ressurect someone is going to mean there are changes of some kind, right? It all sort of fits in a very poetic way, and it's because Molly helped Caleb make that first step toward forgiving himself.

I bet that if the story had progressed that way, then either Lucien would have taken his body back and forced Molly into a different one, or Lucien would have possessed Vess Derogna.

Decent security, but they’ve handled worse. First half of the one shot is then wrecking house and taking what they can. The M9 coincidentally arrive back at their island, celebrating the retirement of the last of the troupe (let’s be honest though, Caleb tutors everyone he thinks has even a mote of potential till his last breathe).

(if only for the satisfaction of maybe actually killing Ickythong, if he's in the mix...) - that "Bird's of Prey"-esque team up of all the people trying to get revenge on Jester, including (but not limited to) the Hag, the dildo-hand-lady, one or more dragon turtles, and doubly undead Avantica... which would neatly roll it all into that already anticipated Darktow adventure...

There was a moment for Jester in the Folding Halls that I thought was so powerful and had such potential and gave some incredible insight to Jester. When they were all escaping from the dragon and Jester was the last one and she broke down a bit because she was left all alone. It just made me see the cheerful, bubbly exterior as a shell for a lonely child that had basically grown up alone. I'd gotten the serious impression that she didn't get out a lot growing up, didn't have a lot of friends, and just desperately wanted to be liked and in that moment the shell cracked and you saw a little of the inside. Obviously they ended up going a different direction and it really was never brought up, but could have been an interesting thread to tug and explore.

@@shanedsouza189 Activating her wings takes her Action; only worth doing at the start of a long fight, or on a turn where she doesn't have enough movement to get to melee range. Other than that, yeah fair point about raw damage to burn down Caleb's HP quickly. If Beau and Caleb aren't next to each other, though, she'd still want to end her turn next to Beau for Sentinel op attacks. (Step of the Wind for disengage wouldn't prevent that.) But attacking Caleb then running to Beau might mean giving Caleb a chance to cast at her with War Caster, potentially with Polymorph into a tortoise (to frighten Fjord :P) or a whale, although a whale can still bite. (Something with lots of HP couldn't be broken by incidental AoE, so would cost a dispel from Jester.) Fjord with Banishing Smite + Divine Smite could put the hurt on Caleb pretty seriously, if either attack hit his AC20 with Shield. The Banish happens automatically if the target has less than 50 HP after the attack, no save. Then Fjord would be a target for Beau while holding concentration on the banish. And it would use up 2 of his warlock spell slots. At Warlock 11, he has 3 total that are usable for Counterspell, but before that only 2 5th-level slots, the rest only being 1st-level paladin slots. And if they weren't at full strength when Beau+Caleb turned... Yeah might take some Yasha damage to get Caleb's HP down into range for Banishing Smite's 5d10 + weapon damage to bring it below 50 without a divine smite, without Cad's Path to the Grave. (I don't think they ever lined up a Path to the Grave combo with a full Banishing Smite + Divine Smite + hexblade's curse, even in the final battle. If that ever crit, it could insta-kill Caleb from full to negative 99 HP.)

Oh man the Thelyss brothers being the stereotype "Loner, prodigy, magic nerd" vs. "The himbo, warrior, athletic boi" makes me so happy. I wonder how close they were? Do we think Essek would try to keep in contact with his brother once he had to go on the run? Was there anyone else in the Dynasty he would have even missed? I'm imaging a super sad timeline where the BQ sends Verin to hunt down Essek and bring him back. Did Den Thelyss get in trouble when Essek was reviled to be a traitor? Wasn't their mother the Head of their Den!? She definitely seemed the type to throw her kid under the bus if he got in trouble, but would Verin have disowned him too?

"Ruins and Romance", for example, is a good one so far (focuses first on the Aoer explorations between Caleb and Essek, but Himbo Verin is definitely there a lil later). I'm sure there are tons more like it. Cheers

I don't think Caleb would want to be an archmage. Unless that's like, a teaching position, like "senior archmage of transmutation, Caleb Widowgast" and it really just means he's the best in that field and is like the top tier teacher. Caleb wants to clean up the Assembly, but he really doesn't want to JOIN it, he doesn't want to have that kind of authority. He had the chance to take Trent's seat and refused it, so I don't think he'd ever pursue that. He just wants to teach the young ones how to turn into moths and eat curtains. We could absolutely get a character who was taught BY Caleb though, that'd be interesting.

@@haku8135 To be fair, you don't need to be in the Assembly to be considered an archmage - Yussa isn't, yet he's still considered one, same with other characters from Campaign 1. The Assembly just codified it into a term of station. Given Caleb ended the campaign one level from being having access to 9th-level spells, he's practically an archmage already (funnily enough, he also basically has the ability scores of the archmage statblock, too). He might even be more powerful than some of the Assembly Archmages, too - Delilah Briarwood was Archmage of Antiquity despite only having access to, at most, 8th-level spells at that point in her life, so they might not all necessarily be at the pinnacle of wizardly power.

Something governmental or even just limited to the school, again unless they just made him the official top of the transmutation teachers. Caleb is very much one to avoid big names and renown.

@@haku8135 Again, the only place archmage is considered a title of office is within the Assembly/Empire - outside of them, it means a very powerful spellcaster typically capable of casting the most powerful spells known, a description which fits Caleb. The title usually also comes with a heavily implied warning of "do not fuck with this person". This is the commonly held understanding of what an archmage is, and what I'm pretty certain the original commenter was saying. The fact that Caleb can be called one without him getting free dental or a discount at the Invulnerable Vagrant changes nothing - by right of personal power and right of conquest, he is an archmage.

It was about the principle that no one should wield that power, especially for his own minimal gains. Its the same reason why Essek refused to do it, he knows that the magic behind it will eventually hurt more people than it saves and that the original sins he committed wont just go away afterwards, he'll still have to carry the burden of that initial decision, going back in time will just ensure that they'd never be able to forgive themselves for what they did.

Go back again and do it differently. Go kill a child to see how that'd feel, and undo it the next day. Your relationship with anyone becomes less significant. You can always refriend them, or change it up. I think that was Caleb accepting his humanity. Accepting that he can't fix everything, that he doesn't - and shouldn't - have control. This is the man who rejected a role in the assembly in order to teach transmutation. This is the man who realized he'll die of old age, and can't be with Essek. He could've pursued immortality - he's high level enough to cast clone, and will grow even more powerful as time went on. This campaign explored wizardry very deeply. Its most defining chacteristic is the endless pursuit of power, whether for good or for evil, and how it makes you a radically different being than the rest of the people around you.

It makes sense that either possession or clones was his back-up plan, and why he kept trying to goad Caleb into killing him.

Then she hit her stride with Darktow, embracing more of her -actual- authority and what she COULD do when she just leaned heavily into her own strengths more, and Beau, while still completely insufferable at times with the ‘but what if-dig at npc that immediately puts them on guard and cuts off the path forward’ became someone I was actually wanting to see play out as she grew into her role in the Jedi-Adjacent Cobalt Soul. So while her character really made me groan at times, I totally loved the heart Marisha put into it.

She ended up assuming that the system doesn’t care, can easily be bought, and cruelty is to be expected. Also, her father was horrendous to her, making her live in a loveless house, a gilded cage. So she just embraced the idea that if everyone’s going to be cruel anyway, may as well encourage it. Easier to keep others at arm’s length so that she doesn’t end up a victim. And then she realized the truth. And from there, she truly came into her own. Taking all that into account, it really becomes so much harsher in hindsight seeing her early moments, knowing that she was screwed over and betrayed over and over and never really given guidance and acceptance. But now she can take the kindness and wisdom she’s gained and pay it forward, ensuring that no one else ends up like her or Caleb. No more children on the pyre. And she actually became more comfortable and encouraged to show her true brilliance as an intelligent and inquisitive woman. Her deductions and notes truly helped the Nein in so many ways.

"Honestly, the Jester and Artagan relationship is very much crossing into Doctor Who territory" My god, how did I never noticed this before? It's straight up the relationship between Amy and Eleven. The main difference being Artagan didn't disappear for most of her life. It has the same level of wholesome fairy tale energy and creepy toxic influence that will lead Jester to her doom.

The adventure is done And the story has ended With their victories won And the folk they've befriended. They've defeated their foes and made peace with their past. They've found love and belonging and family at last. When the world's fate was on them, they didn't think twice; With a city to slay, Mighty Nein rolled the dice. It has taken a toll, But nine Nein are made whole. Now new folk we'll extole And it's their turn (their turn) (their turn).... to ROLL!!
