Can everyone get off Marisha’s back, please?
She was the only one thinking logically about their approach with Molly/Lucien.
Everyone else seems convinced he’s the Big Bad and they should go in guns blazing, but the fact is none of them know anything yet.
No one knows Lucien’s motives, and quite frankly, if they go in acting hostile, they’ll get a hostile outcome… and given this guy just merced an insanely powerful mage without breaking a sweat, that fight is going to end badly for the M9.
So, Beau/Marisha suggest they approach this from a more neutral standpoint and hear Lucien out, maybe even party up, depending on how that interaction goes… but she’s barely said a word when Liam hits back really hard, without even thinking about what she’s actually saying.
And of course, the chat jumps on it, bitching about Marisha “wasting time” by trying not to ruin their first in-person meeting with Lucien’s crew.
For comparison, it does well to note that in this session, Liam spent like 40mins trying to get a death emerald (which just wiped their hit points) and reading a kid’s story.
Now, I loved both of those things: I think they’re fun and very DnD… but you just know that if Marisha had done either of those things, the chat would hate it and be screaming at her for being dumb or wasting time etc.
No matter how silly or off topic or poorly planned the thing someone else does (which is fun and good!!), the chat loves it… but if Marisha speaks for more than 30 seconds, they’re screaming for her blood (which is miserable and shitty).
I’m just really sick of the double standards. I just want Marisha to be free to play the game the same as the rest of them and not have to overthink her every move in case it sets the lunatics in the chat off.
