still thinking about the imagery of the changebringer coin embedded in the wall after the blast, pointing bells hells toward the exit. the final piece of divine guidance from their cleric, who just saved all their lives, pointing them on a path up toward hope
when i get my hands on Liam O'Brien i'm making him pay all my therapy bills
like. LIKE. look at his face. the sudden surprise as jester invades his space and proceeds to RUTHLESSLY unravel and acknowledge his pain after the traumatic events of the day, the way he's so carefully tucked away all emotions and tried to move on without worrying the group. look how quickly the layers all crumble away, how emotional and vulnerable and small he looks, how for a second we see Caleb Widogast without all his layers. if i had any power at all to do so i would give this man a thousand oscars and then ask for a milion dollars to compensate for the emotional damage he has wrought me
I want to imagine that after all of this happened, and suddenly all Sending and Scrying and other divination magic isn't working, - somewhere out there in Exandria, Percival de Rolo just rolled up his sleeves and began to invent the fucking telephone.
If this back door to Ruidus is accessible from Exandria, between Wild Shape and Wind Walk you could literally get an entire Ashari army onto the moon right now. You could destroy the bridge while it happened as a distraction ALONE.
This is literally game changing for everyone trying to fight the Vanguard and they would never know what hit them.
Rashinna being like "you are of her lineage, are you not? This Temult" with such venom absolutely makes sense and is warranted but it was also so funny to me because i was like. ah yes, this cursèd Temult lineage. this is Relvin's surname. he is not involved in any of this but damn his surname sure is. the women of the Temult lineage getting up to wide variety of activities on Ruidus, meanwhile Relvin, provider of the surname, is in Gelvaan doing this:
This might not be funny to you, but it was unreasonably funny to me. Local Gelvaan Stable Worker Provided Surname To Long-Estranged Wife; She Blackened The Family Name By Committing Moon Crimes. he could viably get dropkicked by a member of the Volition for being a part of the Temult bloodline literally just because Liliana happened to take his goddamn surname. that is SO funny to me
I don't know what to do. What's the end goal of all of this? Am I really just supposed to keep chasing and consuming power wherever I find it? To what end? And will it actually ever be enough?
