Terrified for Schemers 2 right now because the fuckign Creed is gonna be on the warpath against Hal, Cruelty is NOT going to find Kattigan's dead body at the tailors (AND IT DOSENT FEEL LIKE ANYONE AT THE TABLE REALISED THAT AT THE TIME) and Wic is gonna have to explain why he spent the WHOLE NIGHT after the meeting popping around the city to locations including Obrimus Manor (just got broken into and all the Tachonis inside have now buggered off) and HALS HOUSE (LITERALLY YANESSA'S LEAST FAVORITE PERSON RIGHT NOW).

All that to say, Taisha should have hit that cab driver with lightning.

would it be weird for me to ask if people think bolaire’s shadow mouth has a tongue

[owlinabirdbox]

Losing my marbles over Murray fumbling the convo with the Einfasen, like, dang it Murray, mention the Hall of Mercy, mention Houndsport, mention something these extremely dangerous sorcerers can act on PLEASE!!!

Insane nat 20 from Azune, but theres still so much room for House Tachonis to scheme circles around House Einfasen, especially since "all smiles" is already what Primus knows to be looking out for.

[haffkaff]

Spoilers for episode 30.

After Primus' little comment about "enterprising little magpies", I'm almost convinced that there's a mole somewhere close to the party (the Schemers, in particular).

If he'd referenced falcons, that would've been one thing. That was a known symbol for Thjazi and the rebellion. But the magpies nickname is very, very recent. We're currently on day 12 (possibly early day 13), and the magpies reference didn't really start until late on day 7 while Primus was out of town. The only people we know, currently, who know about the magpies are the PCs and the soldiers they're working with.

Based on his "Wherever the Lady Royce and Occtis first met, I would be waiting in the shadows" remark from his Zone of Truth interrogation and the fact that he was able to basically teleport straight into the Palazzo Davinos, we can gather that Primus has a terrifying command of the Tenebral Reaches and could therefore be using them to spy on the party, but then he would've known exactly who gave the Einfasen Occtis' ring.

Either someone's playing both sides of the table, or Romina/Orus have been killed and forced by the Tachonis to talk in the underworld.

with the Hallowed Round becoming literally hallowed such that undead and fiends need a ticket to enter, that includes certain demons

[owlinabirdbox]

When Zebani Halovar arrives at the hallowed round, she will be face to face with 346 magpies armed to the teeth, Hal, Taisha, Azune, Vaelus, a shit load of faeries, and 10,000 Rungjani fresh off the back of witnessing a man possessed by the spirit of Vokjan Murzat himself, wielding a pariah blade in his hand, and acting out the tale of his own failed revolution against an overwhelming force. Azgra himself could walk into that theatre and I am certain he would not walk out again.

Zebani's boned dude, just absolutely screwed. No priestly house of a dead god stands a chance of taking the round after what's happened there.

I don't want to see people putting the blame on anyone at all for Teor and Cyd's deaths unless you're putting the blame on CEO of Critical Role Productions, Mr. Travis Hampton Willingham Bailey's dice

[owlinabirdbox]

Primus is gonna be fuckin' shook when he gets back to the manor. The vassal crypt, ransacked, Tertia's remains interred in the family crypt, the bodies of two powerful Nama he's been looking to have petrified for like over a week, his project of Raimond Davinos grievously wounded, his eldest son killed, a necrotic relic and some pertinent notes stolen, and the druid hes been torturing for over a week nowhere to be found.

[owlinabirdbox]

I stg if Teor and Cyd die off the back of ONE DC 15 INVESTIGATION CHECK. i will flip my shit

[owlinabirdbox]

There is no fucking way Thjazi's plan to escape house Tachonis after his death was to hide in the shadow of, of all people, Julien Fucking Davinos???

Also a thread I noticed a few sessions ago, Thjazi's body was described as having a scar on his abdomen region when Vaelus cast speak with dead on him. Demodus mentioned overhearing the guard captain being told "They'll give you the Scar for this" at the palazzo Davinos, as though that was a great honour. Ofc its a stretch to assume these are the same thing, but I'm not sure why it would be mentioned in such a pivotal moment if it was *just* an aesthetic detail.

[owlinabirdbox]

Oh fuck the tears. This is it, this is the ritual, I would bet literally anything this is the ritual house tachonis want to perform on the isle in the tenebral reaches. To claim and corrupt all the souls in the shaper's afterlives (specifically Tansul's I'd expect). Thjazi beats them to it, and now all the Rungjani are out of the reach of House Tachonis!!

[owlinabirdbox]

So House Tachonis is gathering corpses, 50 years old was too young, so presumably the "cut off" date would be before the Shapers War. Are they looking for bodies who's souls are in a Shaper's afterlife? And are they taking that trip to the island in the realm beyond (forgor the name) because its a place where paths to the shaper's afterlives have been opened before? And are they trying to access the afterlives of the Shapers for their own nefarious ends?!

Magnus archives specific tag game!

What fear is your favourite?

What fear would you end up in a domain of?

What fear would you be an avatar of?

Naturally feel free to put more than one fear

no pressure tags but i wanna know: @grayscale-sparks @pigeons-with-jello @jimjams-the-bat @unsocialised-half-orc @allseeingharlequin @dorkacademiaarchivist

And anyone else who fancys joining in ofc!

[owlinabirdbox]

Seems like a fun first post ig

Favourite would probably have to be either the Stranger or the Desolation

I reckon I'd end up in a domain of the Lonely, just being left alone to conjure up my own terrors sounds like an absolutely awful experience

Finally I think I'd end up an avatar of the Vast, I quite like the thrill of being up high, despite still being terrified, and I think that's a good dichotomy for an avatar-to-be.
