Ok here's an updated timeline of the Rat Grinders based on the new info we got this episode:

Freshman Year

On the first day of classes Kipperlily and the others meet and form their adventuring party. Kipperlily comes up with the name the High Five Heroes.

Kipperlily excels academically, but the High Five Heroes only go on easier adventures, presumably to ensure they will succeed rather than fail at something challenging.

Ruben is primarily an acoustic/soft rock musician.

Kipperlily begins to have childish rage and resentment towards Riz and the other Bad Kids, which start out petty but gradually grow in intensity over the next couple years.

Sophomore Year

An increase in hostility, one of the first meetings Kipperlily has this year is being jealous that Riz's dad was killed by Kalvaxus, that if a person has suffered immense magical hardship it is an unfair advantage in adventuring.

Kipperlily tries to find evidence of conspiracy with her parents and is enraged that they are boring.

A week after spring break the High Five Heroes go on their first quest to the mountains of chaos, chaperoned by Jace Stardiamond.

After this, the High Five Heroes seem to undergo a shift where their rage is amplified. Kipperlily's counselor files become much more venomous towards the Bad Kids, Ruben shifts to emo music, etc.

At some point after this Ivy and Oisin propose changing the name to the Rat Grinders. Kipperlily opposes this and Lucy is on her side, but Ruben votes against her because it makes her upset and Mary Ann also votes against her but doesn't explain her reasoning.

A piece of paperwork is submitted for Lucy to change her god, but another piece of paperwork is filed afterwards rescinding that application, presumably by Lucy herself changing her mind.

Towards the end of the year, after grades are finalized but before classes are over thus avoiding the pass/fail penalty, Lucy dies in the far haven woods near Aguefort. Presumably, she could have been resurrected in service of this unnamed rage god, but chose not to. She "stuck to her guns".

Kipperlily's rage towards the Bad Kids has transitioned from childish to venomous, she "hates them".

Junior Year

At some point between the end of Sophomore year and the beginning of Junior year, the Rat Grinders specifically request Buddy Dawn join their party as a cleric.

At 8:01 am, the first day of classes, Kipperlily goes to Ashgrove to dig up the rogue teacher's grave, thus forcing her to reveal herself and granting Kipperlily a pass for all her rogue classes for the year. Presumably she was aware of the rogue teacher's grave beforehand (information only available in Arthur Aguefort's office) but waited until the start of Junior year so she could pass all her classes for the year.

Kipperlily announces her bid to run for student council president, with a platform based on equity, equanimity, and fairness.

Kipperlily asks Jawbone about the creation of Yes! and the events of prompocalypse

Her counselor notes become extremely enraged, with her straight up wanting to kill Kristin and being angry that she can't get to her thanks to Fig's protection.

Oisin, Ivy, and Buddy are seen at Fabian's house party during the first week of classes. Kipperlily is not seen but is possibly there invisible. The Bad Kids are asked to do drugs but decline. That same night, mephits steal part of a cloud rider engine kept in Seacaster Manor.

At the school assembly the following day Principal Grix reveals he was notified of students doing drugs off campus, meaning its possible the Rat Grinders tipped him off in an attempt to get the Bad Kids in trouble.

Ruben performs presumably some kind of ritual at the Frosty Fair Folk festival, with the other Rat Grinders conspicuously absent. Simultaneously, Yolanda Badgood falls dead in the same place where Lucy Frostblade died, after Yolanda had been made aware of Lucy's change in god and was investigating it. Yolanda also refuses to be resurrected in service of the rage god.

The Rat Grinders are seen at the assembly addressing Yolanda's death and how all clerics would be moved to pass/fail. Most look bored, Mary Ann isn't paying attention, and Buddy is unconcerned.

Kipperlily and Oisin get caught trying to sabotage the Bad Kids' Last Stand exam, and Kipperlily kills Buddy. Ten minutes after the Bad Kids plane shift away, Buddy is revived by an unknown figure and he pledges his allegiance to the rage god.

Now the Rat Grinders are scheduled for another trip to the Mountains of Chaos and are on complete lockdown, hiding all of them from Adaine's divination magic.

realizing now that the ratgrinders probably DIDN'T kill lucy frostblade at all. likely, they were all killed by the same entity (jace or some other proxy of the rage goddess) at the same time and lucy was just the only one with the integrity to stay dead, instead of becoming a puppet. that's why ruben was so sad when he said she "stuck to her guns." because he wishes he had been able to be that brave instead of living with a constant anger inside him that overshadows every other part of his life! their grief is, on some level, probably genuine

but now they've passed the moral event horizon and killed buddy almost as a sort of "initiation" ritual. a messed-up version of hazing. "you can't be one of us until you die and come back wrong too"

Ruben Voted to change the party name because he knew it would piss kipperlilly off

vs

Fabian offered a truce and made up with his (LEGALLY AND FINANCIALLY RECOGNIZED) nemesis so his friend could go one a date without it being weird, Kristin didn’t even ask him to do it.

It’s not that the Ratgrinders don’t know eachother, they know eachother. They just don’t like these people they know so well.

The bad kids know eachother and like love the people they’ve gotten to know. They have allowed themselves to be changed by one another, to become better for eachother.

The ratgrinders will unprompted find ways to slight eachother, get some sort of advantage over their party members.

The Bad Kids don’t have to ask eachother to be caring. They would lower themselves so they don’t block the others from view.

They are not the same.

So the Rat Grinders are fractured. Even back in the beginning, they were fractured because they didn’t have a chance to grow closer. They took easy quests to just get it over with

Then they died, and got brought back. And they grew slightly closer, but they just didn’t grow as close as the Bad Kids. And I think that’s another reason why Kipperlilly feels so jealous. The Bad Kids have a bond, through thick and thin, death and life, no matter in what world or place they’d always find each other.

Kipperlily wants that. She wants to get along with her party like they do. She wants that trust, that “you’ll always have my back” but she doesn’t get that.

Ruben doesn’t like her, he voted for the name change because he saw upset it made her. Oisin and Ivy are the best friends in their group, closer to each other more then they to anyone else. Mary Ann doesn’t even speak to them, preferring to keep silent and do whatever she wants.

The only person that was on her side was Lucy, and Lucy stayed dead.

#I wonder if kipperlilly regrets it #regrets coming back to life when she saw Lucy’s lifeless body seize #and fall #never to breath again #never to smile again #never to be hers again #I’m making everyone gay this time guys #kipperlilly copperkettle #dimension 20 #ruben hopclap #mary ann skuttle #oisin hakinvar #lucy frostblade #ivy embra #the rat grinders #d20 #fantasy high junior year spoilers #fhjy spoilers #fantasy high junior year

Conspiracy board # whatever because I do so many of these:

Ok so I don’t think Jace died in the mountains of chaos. I think he died way before all of this, and possibly before the bad kids and rat grinders were in school. Jace chose The Rat Grinders to go to the mountains of chaos because he knew of Kipperlily’s rage and knew she could be manipulated. The rest of her party was just a bonus. That does make me feel a bit bad for the Rat Grinders because they were taken advantage of by an adult they were supposed to trust. However, I don’t think it was just Jace alone.

We know at the end of freshman year/beginning of sophomore year season Ragh saw Kalina talk to Jace and Porter. These are the names Kalina couldn’t say. Thus Porter is likely involved in this plot and may have helped kill The Rat Grinders. When were they killed though? This is where my theory goes off the rails.

My personal theory, which is me over thinking past interactions, is sometime before the beginning of freshman year. In episode 3 of freshman year Jace says “ I gotta be straight with you about that. I don't know why you talk that way. I'm trying to make a bridge between you and me. We're coworkers. I'd like to get along, you know? You're not required to be my friend, but, like, a little cordiality, man. Like, spoonful of sugar. Help me out, man. I'm here trying to make something happen.” to Porter. Back then it was just hey we teach together we should at least get along. Now I’m wondering if it’s anything more than that, especially with this new information.

as soon as kipperlilly killed buddy i knew with certainty this is gonna blow up in the bad kids faces. because buddy died it’s so tragic! it’s a mystery! the bad kids obviously didn’t do it… at least the council and admin know that. but the rest of the school? what really happened in there?

and of course kristen applebees would blame her opponent. earlier that week they were seen squaring up with the rat grinders, and kipperlilly is so upset that buddy is dead, of course she has to be telling the truth. who would kill their own party member?

do you remember kipperlilly, the winter cold of her flesh tearing under your rage

as soon as that blade sliced across his throat i feared the inevitable: that kipperlilly and her party are going to be a united front against an accurate accusation with no proof besides a known adversaries say so. and if someone believes her? well. we have devils honey to sweeten our tongues

RATGRINDERS SUBCLASS PREDICTIONS!!!

Kipperkiller- Mastermind Rogue (known)

Ruben- Eloquence Bard (Threw SO MANY bardics out during the frostfaire fight… is a musician trying to get people to follow his song’s orders)

Mary Anne- Berserker Barbarian, but I think it would be hilarious if she was a Giant Barbarian.

Ivy- She’s implied to be an Arcane Archer, so i’ll stick with that

Oisin- we know he’s a Conjuration Wizard

Lucy- Life Domain, i’d say because she feels like more of a healer, but Tempest Domain could be fun flavored for someone who worships a winter goddess.

Buddy- light domain. Helio lovers yknow.

I think next episode will officially be the rat grinders v bad kids fight in the cave with the blue dragon from one of the previews (Still wondering if it’ll be Oisin or his rich grandma tho.)

Brennan said check the energy two adventuring parties from now in last week’s episode. The adventuring party next week will either be post-rat grinders show down or right in the middle of it based on how the pacing has been with battles. We’re in for some shit.

Maybe the rage deal in the last episode wasn’t JUST “You live but have extreme amounts of rage.” What if they were offered their wildest dreams and the rage was a clause in like microfont bc to them the gifts of achieving their goals and living seems like a great deal especially for children. The rage pushes them to achieve a goal, the rat grinders are KIDS they arnt gonna have crazy outrageous dreams and ambition at 17 years old, I knew nothing when I was that age.

You have a crush on a girl for a couple years and want to catch her attention? Bam. Get more confidence, become buff, get noticed first the first time ever. Oisin was completely unrecognizable before but now after all this?

You hate another rogue so much you want to be better than him? Bam! Kipperlily finds the rogue teacher first AND signs up for the election assuming riz would be the one to do it bc why would Kristen Applebees want to be president? Which could be an event bigger fuel to KLCK’s fire.

You want to be a famous musician and you’re jealous of a bard in school who never goes to class but has what you don’t? Bam! Ruben copies her look and produce music when she’s on hiatus as well as getting signed by her label

Mary Anne’s is small and girly she was probably bullied and wanted to make it stop, so shes now indifferent, and strong enough to stand up for herself, she sees Gorgug on the first day of school get decked in the face jsut to grow into this strong guy and sees him as inspiration

Lucy was content with life, she loved her friends, loved her god and knew the rage wasn’t what she wanted to have to live with. The resurrection is supposed to help them feel fulfilled but she’d just be more unsatisfied with life if she took the offer. Lucy was happy with what she had, and had no further aspirations, she loved her god and 'stuck to her guns'

Buddy dawn a follower of helio, watches the chosen one of his church abandon everything, he’s sad and confused as to why she did what she did. He dies and is offered the chance to become the chosen one for an unnamed god, he’s scared, helio is missing, and if Kristin took an offer from a new god and was okay why wouldn’t he be?

The rat grinders were scared kids who needed a miracle, and one was offered CHILDREN WILL SCREAM FOR HELP UNTIL THEY ARE ARE OFFERED SANCTION, IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO THE SAVIOR IS

Kipperlilly comes back to herself, screaming.

Jace Stardiamond is kneeling, staring at her with a smile. “Welcome back, Kipperlilly,” he says with ease, sititng back.

Kipperlilly look around, at her other party members. At Oisin, whose claws dig deep into Ivy’s arm, Mary-Ann is chucking rocks away from her and Ruben is tuning his guitar.

“Where’s Lucy?” Kipperlilly demands, her brain flooded with information of who and what she now worships. Their Lady, nameless and unneeding of one, who has brought them back to fulfill her will upon the earth; to worship Her as they would any other God.

“Next to you,” Stardiamond says, and gestures to Lucy Lucy Lucy, her eyes closed and one hand stretched as if to touch Kipperlilly’s dead body. As if to hold her.

“What’re you waiting for?” She snaps at Stardiamond, scrambling to pull Lucy closer. “Bring her back, too.”

“Patience, Copperkettle,” Stardiamond says sharply, and Ruben stiffens from behind him. Kipperlilly files that away, and adjusts Lucy so she’s comfortable in her lap, head leaning against her shoulder and cold hands clasped in Kipperlilly’s.

She doesn’t beg adults. But she comes close.

“Please.” She says, and Stardiamond leans over, one hand pressed against Lucy’s sternum. He closes his eyes, chants something, and Kipperlilly watches as color returns, pulse quickens, and then Lucy jerks forward, and then screams a guttural scream.

Kipperlilly moves with her, already planning on how to make her feel better before Lucy falls again. Her skin is cold, color gone, and Kipperlilly checks her pulse again.

Nothing. Stardiamond frowns, and then presses his hand against Lucy’s forehead. Closes his eyes, and whispers something in an ancient language that seems to hold power. Invokes a name that is erased from Kipperlilly’s mind as soon as it is spoken.

Lucy’s body jerks but no color returns. No heart beats. Nothing. Kipperlilly can’t lose her. She can’t lose her.

She can’t lose Lucy.

She can’t lose the one person always on her side.

She can’t lose date nights and sweet kisses, lunch dates where they’d pick what the other was eating. Study dates where Lucy would help Kipperlilly with her class and she’d help Lucy hide.

She can’t lose picnic dates in the forest, and the bone deep relief when Lucy’s magic washes over her. The look when she’d revive the rats they’d killed earlier, and how she’d shoo them off everytime.The smiles that follow wherever Lucy goes, the kindness that Lucy had despite her not being happy.

The morbid talks of death, how Lucy listened to Kipperlilly’s anger of those idiot Bad Kids. How she agreed with her, and gave points to Kipperlilly’s. How warm she felt when she pressed closer to Lucy.

She can’t lose how Lucy used to throw rocks at her window and make silly fades when she didn’t think anyone was looking. She can’t lose the wrinkled nose Lucy made whenever they brought her ice cream, and the way she’d almost glow in the dark of a room.

She can’t lose the soft smile that sits on Lucy’s face.

Kipperlilly can’t lose her. She can’t lose the one person who is always on her side.

She moves Lucy onto the ground.

“Come on, Lucy,” she begs. One of her hands cradle the back of Lucy’s head, so when she does come back she won’t hit her head against the rock floor, while the other cups Lucy’s cheek, checks her eyelids, checks her unbeating pulse. “You need to come back to me.”

Stardiamond and is staring at her with blank eyes. Like he’s done this before, or like he’s seen this beforehand. Kipperlilly cries, and cries and begs him to do it again, again, again.

He does. Over and over and over again, until the mark is burned so deep onto Lucy’s body, seared so deep into flesh that Kipperlilly thinks it sits right onto her own bones.

“That’s enough,” Oisin says, the wounds in Ivy’s arms already scabbing over.

“It’s enough when I say it’s enough,” Kipperlilly snarls, teeth bared as Ivy steps forward, ready to defend Oisin.

“Let her keep trying.” Ruben says, his voice filled with something Kipperlilly can’t place, and smirking despite the hurt in his eyes. “She won’t come back.”

“Shut up!” Kipperlilly shrikes.

“He’s right,” Mary Ann says, and Stardiamond sighs and flicks his hand at her party members.

“Go outside and wait,” he orders. “Once we’re done here we’ll see about getting you a new cleric.”

Oisin and Ivy look at each other. Ruben is looking away, lips tight while Mary-Ann doesn’t even look phased. But they obey the order, and Kipperlilly watches with bated breath as they leave.

As soon as the footsteps fade, Kipperlilly slumps. Her tears have splattered around Lucy’s face and it almost looks like Lucy is the one crying. She wipes them away, and looks up at the teacher who is supposed to guide them.

“But why?” Kipperlilly croaked. “Why won’t she come back?”

Stardiamond shrugs. “She doesn’t want to,” he says. “Maybe if you were stronger, like the Bad Kids. Or if you were sadder, like Riz Gukgak, she would’ve felt bad enough to come back.”

“What do they have to do with us?” Kipperlilly snaps, already feeling her incredibly short temper fray even more.

Stardiamond smiles, wicked. “Everything.” He says. “They have everything to do with this. If they were here, they could’ve taken this mission on. But who knows. If we kill them, maybe She could bring Lucy back.”

Kipperlilly pauses, a hand resting on Lucy’s chest. Searching for a familiar thump-thump-thump that she used to fall asleep to.

“Are they the ones stopping you?” She whispers.

The crystals that rise from the ground makes a hum, an agreement. Kipperlilly stares at them, then at Stardiamond who raises both hands. “She wants a deal,” he says.

(He doesn’t say Our Lady. Not like how Kipperlilly’s mouth forces it. He says she. Her mind whirls, ten steps faster than she is.)

“Then let’s make a deal,” Kipperlilly says, one hand covering Lucy’s.

Stardiamond laughs. “Smile, Kipperlilly,” Her Lady says. “You got what you wanted.”
