beau adding herself to that shadowgast walk back to essek's tower is still living rent free in my mind.

Every so often I still can't believe that the Mighty Nein got Essek to stick his his feet in the hot tub after dinner. Give this refined noble a glass of wine and some cheese, and a little friendliness, and he's speaking heresy and rolling up his pantlegs

[frumpkin-biscuits]

Jester: so not that I’m complaining, Essek, but how come you want to be friends with us all of a sudden?

Essek: *takes a big sip of wine* * immediately changes the topic back to dunamancy*

the "we should explore other things... other things" "I have some ideas... there are favors owed still" interaction is just so funny to me

it's probably like the best example of the Caleb "I'm so honey potting this wizard" widogast and essek "yea I bet I can use these favors for more... magic studies!!" thelyss dynamic that we ever see

Campaign 2, Episode 91

[lessattitudemorealtitude]

Oh it’s so hard to watch Caleb go from being the happiest we’ve probably ever seen him after he’s finished completing the spell for Nott/Veth to going back to his dour sadness when he realizes that this means she has no reason to stay with the group and would likely go back to her family... And him kinda half trying to convince her to stay longer, like he just realized what that means and is just not quite ready to lose her

The end of c2e91 is hitting so hard… The joy of Essek and Caleb and Nott working so well together, creating this spell! This thing that Nott has been searching for since the beginning! And it’s not just Caleb who solves her problem for her - she helps! She contributes! And so does Essek, this person who didn’t have to help them, who shouldn’t even like them as much as he does. All three of them together, bringing this spell into existence.

And then, almost immediately, Nott’s hesitation. Her fear. Because this is what she’s wanted for so long, and now it’s here in front of her and that’s scary. That’s huge. And it means she has to choose, now, between her family and the Nein. An impossible choice.

And Caleb, too. Telling her it’s okay if she needs to think about it. If she needs to take her time. If she wants to stay with them, for as long as she wants. Because he sees it, too, how this spell will change everything.

Everything about those moments leading up to the spell, everything between Nott and Caleb, between Nott and the rest of the Nein… The I love you all, the kiss…

And then the spell fails, but it doesn’t matter - something has still changed. Because the spell exists, because Nott has made her choice, because there’s no walking this back now… This episode was so so much.

love watching travis realize that caleb is in love with jester in c2e91 (around 1:56:00-2:00:00) and especially love his face when caleb says "you've done so much for m- done so much for us"
