Does anyone know what the hell it was that came out of that Planar Ally spell? Mercer obviously found it somewhere but I have no idea what it is

According to the spell:

"The GM can adjust these payments based on the circumstances under which you cast the spell. If the task is aligned with the creature’s ethos, the payment might be halved or even waived."

So, hard to say. Jester did give it a cupcake and promise it more when it got back, so for this little bit of RP Matt might just consider the fee as being paid.

It would be pretty crappy for him to spring a huge cost on them after the fact though. The way the spell is worded makes it sound like you're supposed to strike a bargain with the summoned creature before it renders any service.

also he charged them for all those greater restorations, which were already like a Plot Tax they had to pay lol

Also:given what shes asking it to do, it would be unfun to charge much for it. Deliver some cakes seems like a reasonable use of a 6th level to me

Did you see the long look Caleb gave Jester last episode? I think he’s falling for her, too.

I could have misread it but Liam is like the master of RPing while everyone else is jabbering, and it was definitely a Look of import. What it ultimately means, who knows.


In Talks tonight, Liam confirms that the long look Caleb had after talking with Yasha (a few episodes back) was because he loves Jester but doesn’t know how to deal with it or what to do about it.

I very rarely watch an episode live, so chat isn't something I ever really have a chance to participate in (and generally wouldn't, even if I could), but I do find it's useful to open around the time when Sam is drinking just to see what's on the flask on the occasions that it's difficult to make out wording or the picture on it is weird. I occasionally find it fun to open chat when someone does something cool/silly too, just to see the immediate reactions. If there is anything lovely in there, it's drowned out in "holy gently caress" excited posts so fast that I don't think I've ever seen anything of note beyond grouching over technicalities.

Having watched him carefully for ages because he’s nearly always fully in character I felt so drat validated that every time I’d seen him look at Jester and was like “Oh he loves her, right?” I wasn’t going crazy. Thank you God/s! Liam is a treasure

Bring on the Super Cut.

I can't believe the final combat of this campaign will inevitably be a party battle royale for Jesters love.

Also, given the prevalence of them in recent episodes I go thinking; What happened to Little Willy?

They either forgot about him or since they couldn't heal him they left him with Yussa. Alternately, he got totally abandoned because Ashley is back and it might have made combat take too long?

I do think that now Liam/Caleb has that Amber spell he could carry him around

I'm pretty sure Caleb has had that amber spell a while, and I vaguely recall him using it ages ago for something or other. Or at least, using amber for something similar anyway.

As a heads up from on location, the theater is maybe half full at the moment. Security has been doing metal detecting everyone as they come in via wand. So there could either be a delay to the start or a lot of vamping.

They did. I waited in line for about an hour and 10ish minutes and I wasn't even at the back of the line. Finally seated at 8:30.

Edit: I called the theater to buy tickets because the site was not working, and you could hear the thousand yard stare in the voice of the person who got me seated.

And they also mailed me someone else's tickets in the same envelope as my own.
