with you finally getting to keyfish and her completing the trifecta of vm deaths how do you think m9's overconfident redhead will fair when he undoubtedly gets his turn
which is to say, i hope it never happens bc it’d be AWFUL, but equally character deaths are either incredibly emotional dramatic moments OR apparently utterly hilarious, & im so down for both
i doubt caleb would get a comedy death bc he’s too busy playing 4d chess constantly, but i can absolutely see his own cleverness -- or rather, his belief in his own cleverness -- coming back to bite him to death somehow
i think the only times that anyone in the m9 is in danger of dying rather than just going unconscious is either if they die before anyone has a chance to react (from high damage a la keyleth or enemy multiattack a la molly), or if the party is somehow split up/incapacitated/unable to respond, like when fjord was fighting the fish buggers practically alone on the top deck
tbh i think it says A Lot that the closest anyone in the m9 has come to dying for the last ~20 episodes has been that moment with disintegrate in vokodo’s lair. with that in mind i can 100% see caleb following in the footsteps of keyleth and saying ‘no one kills me but myself’ sdkfgh
