Fig: "Do you want a Bardic?"
Fabian: "I can... Hey, The Ball? Let me help."
Riz: : "Okay, yeah. It's just-"
Gorgug: "Can I have a Bardic?"
Riz: "It's just the dust mites."
Fig: "Do you want some help?"
Riz: "I'm a little worried about the dust mites!" πβ (Murph's CONCERNED FACE! πβ)
Fig: "Here!" *starts to play* πβ
Riz: "Oh no! It's okay!" πβ
Emily: "If you see me wink, you get a Bardic." (ππππββββ)
Murph: Okay, okay. (*blocking Emily's winks with his hands*! πβ)
Lou: "Can my Bardic just be that I run screen?" πβ
Fabian: "No, no, look at me. No!"
Emily: "Don't you want it? Don't you want it?" (ππππ)
Murph: "Okay, right off the bat, dirty 20. Should I throw this on there and try to-"
Lou: "Come on, baby. Let's cook."
Murph: "So afraid of dust mites. Are there..." πβ
Brennan: "So I think you're going through Rana's stuff, which is all the actual, the poetic... She was the cleric of the group, right? And you're going through Cormyr's stuff. Cormyr was a sorcerer, but you actually see, for someone that was innately magical, Cormyr had very meticulous notes, beautiful script, and has something written out which is a long... You can tell it's a copying of another text. As you arrive at it, it's basically, he wrote a glossary literally for the possibility that they would all die on this mission, and another group of adventurers would find this stuff and could pick up where they left off."
Emily: "We should remember to do that in the future." πππβββ
Siobhan: "Put it on the board. Put it on the board!"
Adaine: "That's my name! What?"
Fig: "I think it's the information, not us." πβ
Gorgug: "Oh, well, how holistic is it?"
Adaine: "Catch up. Stop thinking about-[inaudible]"
Riz: "I texted you this stuff, man!" πβ
Gorgug: "Got it." ππ
Brennan: "What you see is, there is the beginning of a text that is written- and I think that... Adaine, go ahead and give me one more- give me actually, an Arcana, 'cause you rolled History. Give me an Arcana real quick."
Siobhan: "I did roll History...23."
Brennan: "You are able to point out- you know that what you're looking at is not a spell. But Adaine, you're familiar that there's lots of kinds of magical writing that are not spells. There's ways of annotating things that are magical laws or precepts, and what you are seeing here is a dually arcane and religious axiom of magical law of Spyre. And what you see is it says, "Obliviati Mori."
Emily: "Remember you will die? Or forget you will die?!" (ππ)
Brennan: "Clerics call it Obliviati Mori, but you see that as an arcane rule, it is called the Law of Theothanatic Silence."
Siobhan: "So that's when a god dies, you forget their name."
Brennan: "Yes. But you see that he's writing down all the mortal stuff you already know. When a god dies, you forget their name. When a god dies, they're scrubbed from existence. When a god dies, da da da da da. But you guys also know that for all that being said, 'Yes!' is dead because nobody believes in it, but people remember 'Yes!', right?"
Siobhan: "Oh, we all remember 'Yes!'." πβ
Brennan: "You all remember 'Yes!'."
Zac: "I'll never forget that thing."
Siobhan: "They had a cogent philosophy that we comprehended deeply."
Ally: "Maybe we should forget, though." (ππββ)
Fig: "Just to be clear, when I was talking about becoming a paladin, it was for 'Yes!'." (ππββ)
Kristen: "Wait, what? No, no!" πβ
Adaine: "Wait, for 'Yes!' or for 'Yes??'" πππ
Zac: "I'll never forget that thing sliding out of-" πβ
Ally: "Yeah, sliding out of that hole." πβ
Murph: "That thing getting pooped out of space." ππββ
Brennan: "Basically, there is an intense series of rules and restrictions, but you see this rule doesn't apply to mortals. It applies to the gods."
Siobhan: "Oh! So the gods also forget the name?!"
Siobhan: "Oh! And that's why we remember Yes!, 'cause we're all gods!" (ππ IMAGINE! ππ)
Brennan: "You're all gods! Obliviati Mori is a precept that binds deities to not evangelize or even speak of fallen deities to mortals. In other words, it's written out as a precept of basically like, if a god succumbs to some form of death, they become archfey, they become a demon or a celestial rather than a full deity, if they only have a few dozen followers and another god kills them and they don't have the strength to withstand that, or if literally, in the most extreme cases, their name is fully forgotten, other deities are not allowed to effectively remind mortals of their existence."
Siobhan: "So does that mean that the person who wrote the note that is supposed to be from Lucy was actually a god?"
Brennan: "It makes it very unclear who could have written that. Because you're in this weird position where you guys can all write Yes!, you can write Cassandra. This god is one whose name has actually been forgotten or scrubbed by every single mortal."
