Ok so after going through the tag I feel like I'm really not seeing enough people talking about how narrowly Orym avoided an Absolute Perma Death this last episode‽‽‽‽ Laudna making that perception check (which Matt was very reluctant in allowing to begin with!) single handedly decided Orym's fate.

Let's break it down real quick: 1) Matt said they were 300-400 feet up which is above the cap for max fall damage but below the height where you take more than a single round to hit the ground. Orym would've fallen to the surface of the planet and taken a fuck ton of fall damage well before Imogen could cast fly and catch up to him. (The fly spell makes the target hover so by rules as written, she technically wouldn't have been able to catch up anyways since she wouldn't've been able to free fall and would've had to descend at her 60 ft. fly speed.)

2) in the keyfish incident, Keyleth's body did not remain in one piece and I doubt Orym's would either. This combined with the time it would take to get the body back to F.C.G. would put them well outside the time like l limit of revivify.

3) And finally, all of that is predicated on the condition that they can even find his body at all!! That air ship was high in the sky, moving notably fast, with strong winds perfectly capable of blowing a halfling around mid air. Predicting where Orym would land would be way more difficult than just retracing steps. I can't remember if they were still above jungle or not but if they were they'd be pretty much fucked unless F.C.G. had locate object prepared (dead bodies are objects RAW but they also could just target something he'd had on him and hope it didn't go flying in the fall.) It could take days to find Orym and I don't think the captain would be willing to risk it since as they said falling overboard is usually a one and done deal.

Like that wasn't just the usual "Oh Orym is putting himself at risk in battle again and might die" because in those cases F.C.G. is right there, diamond at the ready if healing isn't enough.

This was Certain Death.

This was Liam makes a new character because the Hell's Bells do not have the connections to bring him back yet. No church connection, the only person they even know of capable of bringing him back is Keyleth and while there might be some Watsonian reasoning that the characters would think to go to her I just can't see the players wanting that. Asking Keyleth to fix all their problems just doesn't make for a fun campaign.

Orym keeps dancing with death but this was something so infitesimaly close to the end of his life that I'm convinced if Laudna had failed that roll Liam would've narrated how during the fall Orym sees a Raven and just watches it peacefully has he grips his tattoo. His last words before he hit the ground would be "I'm sorry" and then something about his husband being on the other side and getting to see him again, maybe even a "didn't make you wait as long as I thought I would I guess".

P.S. How poetic that it was Laudna who once again when faced with Certain Death –instead of kneeling to Fate– took that shit in hand and said fuck no.

Having a C3 re-watch and these words by Lord Eshteross seem to be a tiiiiny hint as to just how dark Matt was planning things on getting. Maybe. Who knows what's going on in the background 🤷🏻

Full quote: "I guess all I have to say is, keep that heart pure. As long as you can. So much of this world tries to pull it away. So much of it."

The thing I love (derogatory) about the Imogen and Laudna conflict is that Imogen can read minds!

She could have easily read Laudna's surface thoughts and come to the conclusion that Laudna really is sorry for what happened and that it wasn't her fault in the first place.

BUT! Imogen's unhealthy addiction to the gnarlrock added in with her bottled up stress from the red storm nightmares made her emotional and unreasonable. She wasn't mad at Laudna, she was overwhelmed and needed something to take it out on and sadly Laudna was the closest thing to her.

She could have read Laudna's mind, but she didn't want to.

This is not saying Imogen is a bad person, everyone has an emotional outburst at one point or another and hers was wayyyy overdue.

The "You lied" scene felt like scraping my heart with a rusty spoon and being left under the sun to slowly die.

Laudna and Imogen - I LOVE YOU, DON'T YOU DARE TO BREAK UP!

Si, I just realised, but Orym probably took a New feat ; because they all just levelled up to level 6, and being a fighter he has ability score improvement, but last episode his ability scores were all the same as before.

Edit : Well aparently he took the observant feat, we know that from ep23.
