Percy: "Kevdak... er, Zanror... I'm sorry, you all look vaguely the same to me, I'm so sorry." Everyone: "Oooooooooh!!!" Vax: "Except for this one" /points at Grog/ Percy: "No, he's got the beard. And the ability to kill me in my sleep." Another swift recovery by Percy... :)

VM could really use a bit of shaming

[@robertsonjp]

Jyygylag It didn’t have be a 30 minute production, but I probably would have had him say “They were on the other side of the square. I don’t know what happened but I saw an explosion. Are they.. are they still alive?”. I think the realization they had killed his parents and then resurrected a now orphaned child is enough of a lesson. They could give him some gold and leave him with an official - it doesn’t have to be a huge production. They do walk the line a bit but this the first time one of them blatantly shrugged off the value of an innocent bystander.

[@pallasproserpina4118]

Steve Napoleon?

[@omegagilgamesh]

The funny thing about Napoleon is that in real life he was 5'5" or 5'6", meaning he was quite tall for his time period. However, having been born on Corsica, and just weeks after it was annexed by France, he was treated as an outsider and foreigner by his fellow soldiers, in no small part due to his thick Corsica accent. So yes, Napoleon could be said as having a "Little Man" complex, just not in a literal sense.

Two things I took away from the infamous Scanlan/Pike scene. -While at this point Sam is a proved RPer, I barely had any notice how good Ashley was...until now. With her gone for work so much, she barely got the time to do anything or grow Pike. This however....holy shitballs on a bagel, she just owned this scene AND destroyed everyone else not named Matt. Talisen almost died there! The woman nearly murdered him! He looked like he was having a heart attack, he was laughing so hard. -Matt Godsdamned Mercer. How in the Nine Hells he was able to keep control of himself and manage the group so they don't talk or laugh too loud over that scene I will never know. I could see him getting redder by the second trying not to burst out laughing, but he kept his cool and warned the others to keep it down so we could hear every awkward sentence. It was more impressive than the 3,817 voices he has invented for characters.

[@MonarchsFactory]

Pike and Grog's interactions are too cute I can't TAKE IT!

[@R4ggedyM4n]

from a story standpoint they kinda are. Matt mentioned during the Briarwood Arc, when Pikes "Celestial Form" was introduced, that during childhood Grog carried Pike on his shoulders and knew how much she weighted. And many a times has there been "childhood friend" etc etc. so, there about as close as brother and sister one can get without being blood related (imo) and if it ever came down to it, imo, if they were forced to choose between VM or the other, im 99.8% certain they'd choose the other

It's awesome and anguishing to think the amount of episodes that only grows after every week. Goddamn, it even hurts my soul when I hear them talking about limited stuff.

[@Aetheria60]

You're averaging about what I did when I was binging to catch up back in the day (75 eps in 3 weeks), while the show is only 4-5 eps a month at most, so you'll be caught up before you know it. If it makes you feel any better, those of us who are caught up are facing the drought of the holiday breaks fast approaching (Thanksgiving week in late November, followed by 3 weeks from mid-December to early January), while you'll most likely still have new material to watch.

[@imkabochan]

@@Aetheria60 hey thanks, now I kinda know how long until I catch up. I feel you, while it sucks to be watching stuff that's from 3 years ago, I'm also trying to enjoy it as much as I can, definitely not anxious to waiting for an episode after a cliffhanger, with holidays and all kinds of events to delay it.

For those interested in Scanlan's letter to Pike.... Dearest Pike, My entire life, I've been half a man. Not in stature, nor confidence, nor certainly not in reputation, but you see, even though my heart has pumped blood for these 69 years, it has done so only as half a heart. The moment I first saw you was not a choir of angels singing, nor silly butterflies fluttering in my chest. No, the moment I met Pike Trickfoot the moment I met Pike Trickfoot was the tragic moment I realized that my heart, my soul, would be forever incomplete without you. For years, I've strived to mend to mend my incomplete heart. To join it with yours and find true bliss at your side. Though it may not have seemed so, everything I've done these past years has been to impress you, please you, protect you. I knew early on it was a futile effort, I'm not stupid. The entire world may be mad, but that doesn't nullify the laws of reality, one law being that you are, and will always be, too good for a poor penny-singer like Scanlan Shorthalt. But even though I would not win you, your love, I could never stop trying. Does the sun stop rising when the clouds blot it out? No. Like me, it knows its purpose. To illuminate the world so that mortals can witness such beauty as you. But now, as the sun sets on my life, I have discovered something new. I have a daughter whose heart beats my blood and whose life is my own. And she, unlike her father, can be good and right and one day worthy of your love, which is why, on my deathbed, I leave her to you. Don't you see? This whole time I thought I was chasing a lover, but instead, I have been chasing a mother for my child. You, Pike Trickfoot, are the savior to Kaylie that I could never be. Your wisdom and honor and goodness can give her the chance at redemption that I never had. Pike, take my daughter as your own, show her the light of Sarenrae. Guide her to be a kind-hearted gnome. Teach her to be everything her father was not. That way, in death, my heart will be complete. And it will beat inside Kaylie, by your side, like I always dreamed it would. With love and respect, Burt Reynolds, Esquire.
