rhi laughing being an actual production concern is so heartwarming

So far Daisy is the MVP when it comes to killing blows and breaking things in combat. The demon appearance reminds me so much of the abominations in Dragon Age. Such a good jumpscare!

The world building in this campaign is so juicy, I enjoy Mark’s style of DMing that allows players to engage in meaningful role play even during combat. Only started watching live play style videos recently and you all really allow space for the narrative to breathe and for stories to flesh out organically! Can’t wait for the next appearance of the mysterious marksman! Hope he gets a small character arc during our stay in ashen rest, maybe in the form of upgraded abilities/weapons on subsequent appearances🤔

The law, probably. Mark's pretty realistic about the inner system of a city. If the Lamp Lighters are able to grease palms and have wormed into being integral to the city, I can't imagine guards would just let these guys break the lights all the time. If it was a mass break of all lamps too in a guild sense that can be seen as war (in the sense of merchant unions ext, socially it's too sensitive to just go swinging clubs on mass.)
