Captain Seacaster is girlbossing the Nine Hells with that MLM

[@TheSkyCaptain]

I thought you were talking about MLM male love male and it took a rewatch to realize you meant multilevel marketing. Unless there's something I missed, in which, i would like to be enlightened.

[@Zurie]

@@TheSkyCaptainCannae it be both?

[@TheSkyCaptain]

@@Zurie It absolutely can. I didn't think Captain Seacaster had a male lover tho. I'm unsure bc I don't have a subscription, I did but not anymore. And in this clip they're mostly talking about business.

underrated bit is the banker being held at gunpoint and he just points at fig and goes "okay. illegal."

I'm a front door security guard at a hospital emergency room. Had a guy that was very unstable for a variety of reasons come in and pull a knife on me, and what I could think to do was say, "Sir, those are not allowed in here, you'll have to take that back outside." which he did.

[@JacoDeltaco]

you should absolutly not make your player roll for every thing. it slow the game break the flow of the action and can make a situation go out of control (which can be fun but not always)

"I'll write you a fake agreement for forty gold"

[@goshi013]

I mean, sounds like an agreement for a fake agreement so :p

[@chickensangwich97]

Idk about magical warlock law, but as far as real contract law is concerned, I'm pretty sure this is fine. If neither party wants to enforce the contract, then neither would ever sue the other, so there's no issue here. The purpose of a contract is it's enforceable by law. But if the signatories are the only beneficiaries from the terms of the contract itself, and neither of them brings an enforcement action, then there's no third party with standing to demand it be enforced.

[@chastermief839]

i havent completely discarded the idea that bill just scammed fig into, technically, becoming her patron. because she has 1 level of warlock but "no patron". technically its herself but in all the magic mumbo jumbo with the armor of sin and the curse on gilear we saw earlier, these rules are loose enough that i think this is enough of an opening for bill to weasel his way in. he specifically said his warlocks pay him gold as part of their contract just moments prior and then penned a contract for her. we ASSUME that this is meant to be just a generic contract that she can turn in as an assignment for her warlock class, but it's odd that this "generic contract" specifically mentioned the exact same amount of gold that she JUST paid (via a loan from fabian, of course). it really makes it seem like she just paid 40 gold to become a warlock of bill seacaster!

[@AbsolXGuardian]

Slowing realizing the context as the video went on as someone who doesn't watch the show made it even better: Ok a pirate, ok a warlock patron, ok a devil, A PIRATE PATRON DEVIL WHO IS ALSO A PC'S DAD AND THATS HOW HE KNOWS THE BANKER

[@getheidea]

Bill Seacaster definitely warrants that kind of excitement lmaooo the entire concept of this character is WILD. if you want context Fantasy High is on youtube!!

[@nunyabisness7055]

He's not even her patron.

[@Alconium]

@@getheidea I want a one shot / spin off of Bill Seacaster Adventures where someone else DM's and Brennan gets to go absolutely batshit crazy.

@@Alconium my DREAM is a Bill Seacaster & Pok Gukgak unlikely buddy cop hell adventure. DM Murph plays Pok, Brennan plays Bill, and the rest of the PCs are various angels/devils reluctantly working together to solve some interplanar shenanigans

[@mhart3212]

I like how he doesn't charge for the guns but charges for the contract.

[@transient5047]

Considering the fact that it's a 'semi-automatic flintlock pistol' as well - that's gotta be worth more than 40 gold.

[@agentapples2185]

After hearing “He in the cupboards”, I expected Brennan to say “roll initiative”

[@gabrielbjornursidae]

@@jimmy_the_squid9456 She cuts off players a lot. Been an issue since season 1, BUT, I will say, she's been so much better about it this season. Honestly, she just feels more respectful this season and her actually knowing the rules makes it so much more enjoyable. No more worries about her casting shield as a cleric or the infamous ice feast.

[@alecLogan]

@@gabrielbjornursidae In absolute fairness, a party member’s girlfriend being his nemesis is likely spicier than ‘one of my warlocks is going after my boy with shit in his heart and coffee in hand.” With the energy that was already in play, Bim would kick through the door to appear upon his name being spoken in Bill’s presence.

[@emmakane6848]

The fact that I rewatched the episode where Mr. Hughes was introduced before this ep because I was curious how Brennan set up that mystery. Bill talks about how both he and Hughes steal from people, but Bill is more honorable about it. (Also happens to be the ep where Bill gets sad about his son calling him a Privateer, so very fun to see the improved relationship Fabian has to his father's work.)
