#cr 2 ep 125

[bloodyshadow1]

something that really stuck with me during talks was Marisha saying that what happened to Beau with the Soul taking responsibility and apologizing to her is a fantasy never seen in stories for victims of abuse, because she’s a 100% right.  In media, there are often 2 stories that are told (when the victim of abuse is the protagonist) 

1. Society has failed the abused and it’s up to them to take matters into their own hands, often getting vengeance but rarely justice, if it isn’t a tragedy, where the protagonist doesn’t get either.  Most often seen in movies as the short runtime and focus required fits the abuse as a whole plot.  Ex you’ve been beaten by your husband constantly, but the cops won’t do anything because X, Y, or Z, so you need to take matters into your own hands learn karate and kick boxing to get strong on your own and beat your abuser to show you’re not weak. or increasingly common, the people in power know that you and others are being abused, but because of the abuser’s status it would reflect poorly on the establishment to punish them so they let it happen. (which it seemed the Soul was doing)

2. It’s something in the background that shapes the abused as a character and used as an explanation for how they are.  Often times this leaves the abuser as a nonentity only existing in the backstory, and more often than not forgotten since the plot doesn’t revolve around them.  maybe the Abused will get the chance to confront their abuser somewhere down the line when they’re facing their ghosts but a lot of the time it’s framed as letting the abuser go if the abused is stronger than they were, sometimes even forgiving them in some weird way for making the protagonist stronger in some twisted way.  Ex you meet your parent who used to beat the crap out of you after school everyday to ‘toughen you up’ after years and after gaining super powers to fight monsters, you could crush them like a bug, but instead you forgive them, despite them not doing anything worth forgiving except maybe an apology, because their ‘tough love’ shaped you into the person you are today.  Something I know at the very least have seen a hundred times

Beau’s story is the first story I’ve ever seen where society (the Cobalt Soul) acknowledges her trauma and the abuse she went through, even though it isn’t actually the Soul’s fault because it was Zeenoth specifically who took the money to kidnap her, Zeenoth is still a member of the Cobalt Soul and such had the power to kidnap her and make her protests disappear.  Udalla Fon, the Head of the Wildemount archives, personally apologizes to Beau, they let her know that what happened to her was not the norm, nor was it acceptable, they inform her, that they’ve already brought Zeenoth into custody and he is awaiting trial. Beau didn’t have to do anything other than let it slip in passing during a moment of anger that she was kidnapped for money in front of Dairon, an expositor and someone who saw potential in Beau, and it was being taken care of.  

It got to the point where Beau didn’t even seem to think of Zeenoth as someone who abused her, that he was just a teacher who was bad at teaching her personally and just another part of the establishment that she had to deal with if she wanted to stay an expositor. Instead of you know..., the guy who was bribed into kidnapping her from her family home.  Marisha is right, I can’t think of a single story where society doesn’t fail a character when it comes to dealing with their abuser, yet here in a dnd show we see it and it is amazing.   That for once an abused character doesn’t have to scrape and scrap to be treated like a human being and respected as such.  Even better, they don’t even try to act like it’s for the greater good since Beau is an expositor in their ranks now so things worked out making it okay.  No, they reflect on what happened and tell Beau sincerely, that while they appreciate her and are happy that she is an expositor, that in a kinder world they hope she would find her way to them willingly instead of being forced.  There’s no, ‘well it sucked but it made you into the woman you are today so it makes it okay in the long run,’ from them, it’s, you deserved to make the choice yourself and we’d like to think that you would find your way here, but are sorry that you never had the choice to make.

The storyline almost comes out of nowhere because it was building in the background since Trostenwald, since episode 4 of the campaign.  Beau got justice even though she didn’t have to seek it out and it was a delight to see

Weather (4 hrs to 4 days):

Sunny with good winds

Cloudy with good winds

Rainy with good winds (Rain reduces visibility by half, imposing disadvantage on perception checks.)

High Winds (High winds automatically extinguish candles, torches, and similar unprotected flames. They cause protected flames, such as those of lanterns, to dance wildly and have a 50% chance to extinguish these lights. )

Sunny poor winds

cloudy poor winds

Much colder than usual

Much hotter than usual

Incorporeal Wind: Incorporeal wind passes through physical objects and barriers, such as clothing, armor, walls, and solid earth and stone. It negates any benefit of winter clothing against cold and exposure effects, but also negates any penalty for heavy clothing or armor against heat. Incorporeal wind is blocked only by mage armor, wall of force, and similar force effects.

Balancing winds: These winds help catch anything that might tip over. Any Dexterity save or skill is made with advantage.

what Yasha must be thinking about when Beau told them about Zeenoth.  I mean it was either her or the Laughing Hand that almost killed him during Obann’s attack on the Archive.  She hated having to be apart of it, even crying as she did, but now learning that this mother fucker hurt Beau, was paid to abduct her and forcibly induct her into the Cobalt Soul against her will.  Like she hated it, but if she was forced to do so anyway, maybe in a darker moment, maybe she could think about what would have happened if she killed him.  If her blade just cut a bit deeper, someone who hurt Beau would never get the chance to hurt her again.

Shares of Dilip Buildcon surged 10 per cent to Rs 418.05 on the BSE on Wednesday after the company announced that its Joint Venture with Hindustan Construction Company (HCC) has received a letter of acceprtance (LoA) from Rail Vikas Nigam Limited for a new project worth Rs 1,334.95 crore in Uttarakhand.

"HCC-DBL has received letter of acceptance (LOA) for a new Project viz Constructlon of Tunnels, Bridges, Yard and formation works from chainage 117+365 To 125+320 (FLS) under Package-9 in connection with new BG Line between Rishikesh and Karanprayag (125km) in State of Uttarakhand, India," the company said in an exchange filing.

"This is an item rate contract for construction of 8.04 km long rail line involving 6.4 km long main tunnel and 6.3 km long escape tunnel, 2 major bridges and one minor bridge, 2.2 km long yard and a station at Karanprayag. The work is to be completed in 50 months," HCC said in a separate exchange filing. It comprises of 17 tunnels, 16 Major Railway bridges and 12 new stations. The rail line will connect to the new trade centres and will pass through many famous places connecting Devprayag, Srinagar, Rudraprayag, Gauchar, Karnprayag, Dehradun, Tehri Garhwal, Pauri Garhwal, Rudraprayag and Chamoli, the filing said.

At 1:15 PM, Dilip Buildcon's stock was trading 8.4 per cent higher at Rs 412.30 as compared to 0.5 per cent gain in the S&P BSE Sensex. Around 12.2 lakh shares have changed hands on the NSE and BSE, combined, so far

Earlier, on July 23, the DBL-HCC JV had received the letter of acceptance (LoA) from the Narmada, Water Resources, Water Supply and Kalpasar Department (Water Resources) for an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) project in the state of Gujarat.

In June quarter of 2020-21 (Q1FY21), Dilip Buildcon's net profit declined by 49.67 per cent on a year-on year (YoY) basis to Rs 50.47 crore while consolidated net revenue stood at Rs 2,099.94 crore, down 13.81 per cent YoY.

On the operational front, the company's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and ammortisation (Ebitda) stood at Rs 461.12 crore during the quarter while Ebitda margin came in at 21.96 per cent.

After the results announcement, Anand Rathi said that proven execution capabilities and ample revenue assurance hold good for the company but the stock itself had limited potential.

"Dilip’s on-roll workforce meant site mobilisation was quick and the recovery curve for execution efficiency is being further aided by access to owned equipment bank. These and the recent strong order addition raise hopes of a better time, but a surge in net debt proved to be a hitch. This was considered a short-term blip (procedural delays with payments), and efforts are underway to check any expansion in the balance sheet (assets on the block)...We alter our target price from Rs 368 to Rs 369," it said.

HDFC Securities said, "Despite muted ordering in the sector, the company has won orders of Rs 107bn till date in FY21. We maintain BUY on DBL, with a target price of Rs 466/sh, given its strong and diversified order book of Rs 26,100 crore and continued focus on asset recycling. We have valued EPC business at 8x FY22E EPS and HAM at 1x P/BV," it said.
