Lapin isn't even confirmed to have high INT; he's a warlock and his base ability is Charisma. And ironically, one of his low-INT characters had a _14 INT,_ which is how Gorgug managed to multiclass into Artificer.

[@Euphonium1021]

@@romxxii He actually multiclassed into Artificer before having the RAW requirements. After they fought off their illusions in the nightmare forest (episode 18 i think) Brennan had them reroll their lowest stat and Gorgugs was still sub 10 at that point which then rolled to a 14.

Lapin Cadbury has one of the most fascinating and coolest, and complete, arcs of any D20 character. A seemingly bumbling and intelligent but oblivious teacher played the game of royal politics better than anyone. A Warlock went above and beyond fulfilling his promise, to save the family he was most loyal to, despite everyone questioning his allegiance until the end. And in his final moments, a man of faith found comfort in meaninglessness.

[@druid_the_lizard_wizard]

That's so cool!! I love this description so much. I do have one question, do we truly think that he was a religious man? I mean, yes he was a high ranking religious figure but in my mind that was all just a part of his act. That's just my personal headcanon, though

I rewatched Brennen yelling “APOSTATE!!!!” Probably like 5 times at least when I first watched this episode. The build up, his facial expression, the voice acting, was all just *chef’s kiss*

[@synthster7416]

The thing that makes this scene so great in my opinion is how Lapin has never dropped the act until now. Even when he sensed that he was found out by Theo and the girls. He has never showed where his alliances lay. To the point where when Lapin sends Theo out the room, everybody on the table is unsure of what he will do. Especially when he goes for the shackles. So when he says he will deceive Keradin, a relief washes over everyone. That ambiguity is something Zac achieved so masterfully as Lapin. It's like he is the only one who sees Comida's atmosphere and all the people in it as who they are. There is no one else who knows the Bulbian church better. So he knows how deadly the stakes can be and despite that, all of a sudden says something intensely aggressive. We get a peek on who Lapin *actually* is and what he is really capable of. It's a shocking confirmation of his fake bitchness, courage and insanity. I love you, my favourite character whomst I love to overanalyse.

[@jonnil1997]

Yes love this! He was so great really capruted the GOT vibes as a scheming clever character.

Lou is literally playing the King in a game of 5 and a half Kingdoms v 1 Chess. Yes it isn’t actually 5.5 versus one, but with the amounts of danger his (and the rest of the cast’s) character(s) went through throughout the season, it may as well been

A Crown of Candy is excellent in terms of setting stakes and having high highs and low lows. Just an incredible story told overall.

I imagine that Lapin's face rarely changes from his face in the introductory artwork... A slightly stuck-up politician / priestly look... 'where is your bulb now?' But here I like to imagine that it goes full villainess grin with horrible shadows, lines and demented eyes, like something out of SpongeBob or courage the cowardly dog...

I think the moment Zac realized Lapin was old acquaintances with the most powerful religious figure in the story, and of some renown himself with high charisma, and the fact that he didn't trust Brennan at all after the first battle, he had Lapin play politics and it was like something clicked in him to make Lapin into this thought-processing ego filled character who was calm and collected on the outside, but by swaying NPCs to his words, he could play the game in his favor. And this is probably why Brennan really needed him dead after episode 5, so they couldn't fuck his shit up anymore lmao
