Oof, the dinner with Ikithon.
The sheer contrast between the way Astrid bites out "Caleb Widogast" with scorn, compared to the way that same name sounds with soft reverence in Essek's voice.
I mean, damn, Matthew.

Wow, the first time I watched the Aeor arc I did not notice how often Liam brought up Essek's presence or asked about Essek's status/well-being when Matt was swept up in DM-ing.
Wonder where Caleb's brain was at the time? 😏
I'm sure it's been said before, but I'm rewatching the M9 get their gemstone tattoos and thinking about how Essek got his greater-than-20-intelligence . . . Is the Doylist answer "Because NPC"? Sure! But now I'm imagining Essek hiding an intricate sapphire tattoo somewhere and, frankly, I need Caleb to find it and never let him live it down.
Bonus points if it's a ~~tasteful lower back tattoo~~
Geez, I'd forgotten how much ep 127 is just Widogast's PTSD-fueled Dungeon Crawl of Carnage.
"We'll unpack this later" he says to Veth. Boy howdy.
Episode 131: "The sight of you will be welcome" is Essek-speak for "I miss you."
Doing my rewatch, and I adore that no one ships all of the ships harder than Laura Bailey. Her joy is infectious lol.
I'm up to ep 97 in my campaign 2 rewatch and I'd totally forgotten Liam was dressed as Caleb in this episode 🥺
Watching Reani's first episode and laughing at Caleb consistently attempting to steer the group back to the task at hand. Liam's shoulders must hurt from constantly carrying around the group's brain lol
