once again the movie night discord comes for my blood
[cue an instant 1500 words from @jadesabre301, @servantofclio, and myself, including several calculations of travel distances, the average mile-per-day speed of horses vs. ships, and a discussion of error bars and the latitude bands for doldrums]
A highlight from a recent Jackbox night with the movie night crew.
Edit: actually I'll throw in this one too, from Talking Points:
@probablylostrightnow, while grading math exams:
Tonight at D&D, almost three real time years later, it turns out I WAS RIGHT.
To say I'm giddy is beyond understatement.
Two astonishing moments from tonight's completion of Act 2.
After the Ketheric fight, I decide I really, really want Aylin to have a clean face for the reunion with Isobel & the cutscenes afterwards. I have a sponge in inventory. I throw the sponge at her three times. Two miss, Aylin deftly dodging out of the way; the third throw hits. The third throw also does sneak attack by accident. The third throw with the sponge damages Aylin for 23 piercing damage.
The sponge survives with two hit points.
Once back in Moonrise Towers, I chat with everyone in the party, including Jaheira. All is well; everyone's survived and is ready to march as allies to Baldur's Gate. Aylin has her emotional reunion with Isobel. That cutscene finishes--and suddenly Jaheira is mad. Really mad. Really, really, "I bear some blame for what you have become," "I was wrong about which side of [the fight] you stood on," Your Companion Has Permanently Left the Party mad. It turns out Isobel walked through 3 hit points' worth of acid damage from the earlier fight. On the replay, @eponymous-rose and I catch the "Jaheira disapproves" the moment Isobel steps through the doorway.
23 sponge damage to Dame Aylin: Jaheira sleeps. Tav fails to lay down her cloak before Isobel's dainty slippered feet: Jaheira WAKES LIKE THE LEVIATHAN FROM THE DEPTHS TO KILL YOU. (this joke is meso's)
(In the end, Shadowheart washed down the stairs and then also Aylin before the next attempt, just in case. Jaheira seemed okay with that.)
