I find it so funny that the Tachonises continue to be WILDLY incompetent with their evil plans. They put all their eggs in the one basket of 'Turn Occtis Into an Angelic Warrior Slave and Make Him Obliterate Our Enemies', and when that didn't work, they had to improvise. And they're doing it SO badly.

The ritual didn't work, Occtis got resurrected, and Aranessa and Julien got away. And with the Royce Gala coming up the very next day, they had to scramble to clean up the crime scene and present plausible evidence for the Royce/Davinos disappearing because they went back to Faerie. Leave behind a key component and piece of evidence about the ritual (the candle) where the Schemers could easily find it and use it to expose your plans.

Meanwhile, Aranessa and the Seekers are at Castle Klippenblicke, thoroughly exposing the crimes of House Tachonis to a rival Sundered House. Petra and Ryah visit the Einfasens, presumably to either give another cover story or eliminate the Seekers and any Einfasens who saw them. Fail to catch the Seekers. Also royally piss off the local druid circle by mounting an attack on one of their own in range of their sacred grove.

Then the illusionist they hired to help cover up the massacre at the Palazzo Davinos, who they presumably were planning to just kill and be done with, escapes. Demodus Blix manages to evade them so effectively that they have to frame him for stealing heirlooms from their house to get the Arcane Marshals to help look for him. Because, damn, who would've thought that the best illusionist in the city would be good at HIDING????

They may be incredibly powerful, scary sorcerers, but in every other possible way, they're fumbling the ball SO HARD. No wonder they keep getting all their plans foiled by these ragtag groups of level 3 adventurers. 😂

We have a growing number of Occtis sightings across several countries and a talented illusionist on the run because he was fucked over by House Tachonis...

Demodus Blix you have the option to do something really funny here

i can't believe i only just noticed that murray's ac is nine. nine. azune's ac is TWENTY. azune has more than double murray's ac and that's why they cannot be separated, because dear god she needs someone to get between her and the things that WILL hit her

Obsessed with the way Tertia refers to Occtis's "condition." Like, she says the word so softly and with so much sympathy, in a way we absolutely have not seen from his immediate family.

Like, coupled with the knowledge that she's younger than him, it feels like something that was gently explained to her once upon a time. She asked why he didn't have the gifts of their House and some older relative, panicking, told her not to worry (because they are VERY worried about what his lack of sorcery might mean) and that cousin Occtis just has a condition. It's cause for sympathy for her, but not for disdain, maybe because she was young enough for it to be normal rather than a shock and disappointment.

Because she's not frightened of what he might represent for her House, she's perhaps one of his only relatives who might have seen him as a person and not an embarrassment. But we can never know now :')

occtis needs to start charging royalties with the rate that people are using his name and likeness
