So. Had a terrible thought.

One of the hanging threads of C2 was that Nott’s trinket on the random table was a handkerchief embroidered with the name of Doolan Tversky, the Archmage of Dysology of the Cerberus Assembly.

Tversky was described as “absent-minded yet brilliant gnome who is obsessed with all beasts, aberrations, and creatures of legend” in the Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount. She was a rather suspicious patron who had hired Taryon Darrington and his brigade to retrieve a sentient asteroid that had crashed in the Cyrengreen Forest.

Nott was a halfling who was transformed (reincarnated?) into a goblin by a hag. Her initial goal was to find a way to turn back into a halfling.

Matt had planned for an Augen Trust plotline if the Nein stayed in the Empire. The Augen Trust does not trust the Cerberus Assembly.

I feel like we missed out on a very creepy mad scientist villain for Nott’s arc.

I know it's almost certainly last on the "to be animated" list after Calamity and Dalen's Closet and the Search for Grog/Bob, but honestly, almost more than all of those, I want The Darrington Brigade to be Animated.

I want to see The Owlbear roll around and stealth impressively for no reason. I want the Owl and Bear puns and the cheesy "definitely not batman" jokes. I want Pretty and Macaroni Samsonite's ridiculous voices. I want the stupid duck jokes about Lionel that imply but never quite reveal anything, so you're left going... wait a minute... is he??? I want the Cerberus Assembly cameo. I want Hazel to stomp around as a one-woman band in the least stealthy manner possible. I want to see Tary's husband! I want them to fight Quackthulu and for the animation only audience to be so incredibly confused and to laugh so hard they bust a rib.

The Adventures of the Darrington Brigade is set in 826 PD which is between C1 and C2. Vox Machina are between 810-812PD and The Mighty Nein are between 835- 836PD. The search for Grog/Bob is directly after C1 in 812 PD because it only took 10 minutes for Grog to do something stupid after saving the world lol. Dalen's Closet is 813PD.

In the Animated universe, we are currently at the end of season 3 of TLOVM and they are working on The Mighty Nein. We don't know when exactly season 1 of The Mighty Nein is coming out but probably sometime in 2025. I think it would be really cool if at some point down the line, once TLOVM is complete, maybe once some of the Cerberus Assembly lore has happened in the Animated Mighty Nein, they released a special animated feature/ short film of the Darrington Brigade. It builds out the universe, it shows off more of the landscape, it shows a wider cast of characters and personalities and abilities, it gives lovely hints about the Cerberus Assembly's activities, it's also just hilarious and I want it.

'Doty, take this down: Master Doolan Tversky was overwhelmed with gratitude when the darrington brigade - '

'Oh add that you begged her to sign one of those cards you collect!'

'Doty, do not take that down!'

Okay, so this feels very spaghetti at the wall, but does anyone think Doolan Tversky could be working with Ludinus and the Unseelie court? It just feels like something that could be in her wheelhouse.

Her only appearance in the show is when she asked the Darrington Brigade to go after a space rock with mutative properties.

That was in 17 years ago, plenty of time for Ludinus to find out about her research and get invested in the kind of power that could turn a duck into a threat requiring a whole adventuring party.

Like I said, spaghetti. Ludinus > Doolan, Unseelie Court / Ira > Gnarlrock > the meteor, Ruidus > the meteor
