You can really tell the Character Development of Borky and Task this episode. Borky feels like a leader and not just a lovable goofball. Old Task probably would have tried to murder Audrey on sight, screw the consequences, He was able to keep his anger under control and his treatment of her may have saved lives.

My biggest fear with this series is that the group will get bored of Playing this and move onto something else. Or that Monty will be unable to tie up loose ends with some of her stories. Task redemption arc, Greckles forgiveness arc, Panic Salvation arc, and Borky Warlord arc. It just seems so... intimidating. I hope you all have fun with each session and Monty doesn't feel overwhelmed with us because this is HER story and nobody else's and we're BLESSED to have such a fantastic group of people giving us something entertaining to watch ever week.

Amazing how the subtitle generator handles "Alivast": "Allah Vast" "Al Avast "A Lavist" "Alaves" (with an accent on the e) And yet never anything approaching the correct spelling. Edit: better still: Ganash is "-" . A hyphen, yes. Apparently it's sufficiently gutteral sounding that the AI just assumed it was a glottal stop or something.

[@ManosApple]

There was a lot to love about this session. Borky actually stepping up and showing that he can be serious if push comes to shove. Gaijin confirming once and for all that the events of Greckles have sex with four bisexual prostitutes at the Romansion, and the infamous "beak peck kiss" with Remy are both none canon and didn't really happen.(thank God!) Borky saying he's waiting for the right girl, implying that Taka might be giving up on having him pursue Starlight.(also thank God, BorkyxLily forever!) Greckles and Borky finding a new found respect for each other. And perhaps my favorite moment, Task reminding us all why he's the alpha male of the Unexpectables, by beating the shit out of an orc bruiser who's about three times his size with his bear hands! Though I will admit that some of Monty's story beats have been repeating themselves quite a bit and it's getting really old. In particular, the team constantly encountering female defectors from the Orin Clergy, either by their own volition, or persuasion. First Solly, then Hellina, now Audrey... soon there'll be a whole group of female defectors if the camp caper goes according to plan.... yippee... The other reoccurring trope that's worn out it's welcome are the random gay encounters. I understand the ones involving Panic, since it's been made abundantly clear that Conner isn't worried about having any sort of consistency in his character's escapades. But for the other characters, it's dumb and needs to stop. From what I've heard, apparently Monty has a couple of artist friends who love drawing yaoi, and also frequently draw for the Unexpectables and she does this stuff to please them. Did we seriously need one of the male orcs suddenly having a thing for Zenrio out of no where? No. Did we get it anyway? Yes. All of that aside, it looks as though this adventure is finally getting back on track. I can't wait to see the other orc tribes.

[@fallout-qx4eo]

I do love this show But I have notice a lot of issues that in a normal game it would be a argument for example they have gotten captured more times then I care to count and something I really hate if done more then once is the last minute rescue from a npc for example the red death showing up at the last minute to steal borky kill with that chimera And it's kinda annoying how they are constantly railroaded this arc with there magic items getting taken from them like that it just feels like monty felt like she gived to many magic items to them and said screw it am taking them back
