To be fair it also means you'd probably fight it and get a bonanza of magical items later! I mean this is absolutely 100% gonna get on the Nein's bad side; stealing magical items from a party is going to mark you for a very thorough killing.

I rather like that they're actually playing along, cause it means they'll just get it all back later with bonus. As for the sword, I get the feeling he doesn't pay enough attention to whats on his back to keep track of the blade.

They want to come in with full spells and (hopefully) with the Traveler's physical incarnation. But they were really pushing it since they couldn't commit. And I'm glad they finally figured out that it was Keyleth's mom. Such an amazing reveal.

Yep definitely a fun finish, there's the Marisha freakout I was waiting to see. They didn't give up anything super useful, and even if they can't get the Traveler on board to fight Vo they can go in there with all their spells up. And if they'd started a fight there then their druid tag-along would have been hostile to them as well. I'd be pretty on board with Matt rewarding them for being patient and smart about it by having the Traveler basically owning it himself, or beating it and then being "wounded" and having to go away, as the big final showpiece of Travelercon with the party not really needing to be involved in the fight as much. Maybe with the tradeoff that the party gets to nab back their stuff and some choice magic items, but the bulk of the money from the hoard goes to the con's attendees and the people already living there. I think they'd have come out on top in the end if they fought, but a liar constantly cooking them + disadvantage on attacks for most of them due to swimming + an enemy ally there + being down some spells is not an optimal situation. On the other hand, I can easily picture the Traveler being cool with just teleporting that thing out of its lair onto dry land as a thank you for the Con going well (even if the Traveler doesn't get super hands-on with the baddie), and that's a much smoother situation, provided they don't do that in the center of the town it has influence over. That bit about knowing its collection is pretty neat. The sword is both the most valuable item given up by far and the one they expect to be able to yank back consequence free if they decide not to fight it, it'd be really funny to have them start sailing away after leaving Vo alone and then have Fjord just constantly not getting rest. I bet he'll port it back before travelercon and his sleeplessness will force them to go fight it early. NowonSA fucked around with this message at 06:57 on Jul 17, 2020 |

This is just going to end with the Traveler getting a bunch more followers after the Nein save them all.

I'm glad they were watching last weeks chat and it was not live because I don't think Marisha would have been as broken if she found out in the middle of a live episode.

Yeah I thought that giving up the sword was a real smooth move, now it seems really likely it's going to lead to some proper drama. I wonder how much Matt enjoyed having the party go along with his baddie after Jester tricked the hag. I suppose making them influence memory across a whole island is one way to indicate that the ol' memory hack isn't going to work this time.

I actually think they may be recording on Thursdays two weeks ahead. This third episode back was the first one with sponsors again and people were speculating about Keyleth's mother immediately after that first episode back.

Man if Fjord hadn’t thrown away the sword of fathoms he could have tried to offer it up and we could have seen two gods fight over it. Or one of them would file an adverse possession lien which would be funnier.

Now I'm picturing Caduceus' dad or at least someone else in the Clay Family wearing a fancy suit and approaching Vokodo with a court summons "Excuse me, the sword currently in your possession was not Mr Fjord's legal property and in fact the property of the Wildmother to be used as she sees fit. You will see proof of this on the inside of the leather hilt. Please give it back at the earliest opportunity or we will be forced to pursue alternative actions"

I haven't been able to listen yet but I'm a little upset Nott apparently gave away the Dagger of Denial bc that thing's cool even if it never gets used. Oh well, we all know they'll be taking back the loot anyway with any luck.

yeah I assume the only reason they won't get that whole horde is that other residents will get their memories back and reclaim their offerings I wonder what the short-term will be like now, covertly figuring out who's worth burning Greater Restorations on while trying to hide it from the monster that sees everything? eke out fucked around with this message at 14:25 on Jul 18, 2020 |

Hard to be certain since the memory enchantment is off-book, but it certainly sounds like a curse.

Yep, next session they either decide to go beat up Vo right after they rest or go explore the island (I'm thinking explore since they'll probably want the Traveler to do them a solid on this one), then travelercon about 4 or 5 sessions from now. I still hope they make a good pitch for how the Traveler could take out Vo and use that to help achieve the Traveler's goals, and then mostlly sidestep a big ol' fight. You don't want your party relying on that kind of bailout/favor calling, but resolving things that way makes loads of sense given that the Traveler is going to be there anyway and it's his big event that'll need all the extra spice it can get. I'd also be interested to see what kind of trick the Traveler could pull on Vo to screw it over and keep it from trapping anyone else; a big fancy fake god fight is the fun option, but it's not really the Traveler's style. I wouldn't be surprised if the Traveler did basically a mass greater restoration on the villagers. I also kind of hope both Jester and Cad start spamming Divine intervention attempts each day to try to make that happen, that seems like a really good use of a DI and it'd be a fun first one to see happen.

This has to be an excuse to do the crossover they (promised?) to do. If they do it, I'd love to see fully powered VM squash Vokodo. There's no way they set up the Keyleth hook and don't have at least her show up.

It all depends on 1) what Vo can actually do to people outside his lair and 2) if Matt decides to go RAW and have Vo come after them ASAP since Fjord's sword would have poofed from its hoard the moment he moved too far away from it. Glancing at the book, it doesn't look like it can do too much past the entrances to its lair other than move the island itself, but it's hard to say what Matt has planned.

Didn’t Matt house-rule it so that the sword remains material as long as fjord wills it, or am I full of poo poo? E: like, I thought that was the entire reason he was able to chuck the Falchion into the kiln without it bamfing back and making fjord look a straight up fool.

Since I was able to actually catch up on campaign two during the hiatus, I started going through campaign 1 - I pretty much only listen to it when I'm caught up on C2, and I'm up to episode 55 right now. I'm much more a fan of C2, but C1 is still fun. The character in C2 are just so much better for the most part. Caleb is far better than Vax. Jester is so so much better than Vex. Nott/Veth is better than Scanlan, though it's closer than Caleb/Jester vs Vax/Vex Percy is a bit better than Molly, but not nearly as good as Cadeuces. Beau is a lot better than Keyleth. However, Pike seems much better realized than Yasha - hopefully now that Ashley's back full time, she can actually get into Yasha's character, but more than anyone else, Yasha's seemed like a stat sheet (though she has had some moments), while every time Pike and Grog run into each other it's absolutely adorable. Which brings me to Grog, who is head and shoulders above Fjord as well as every other character in either campaign, except maybe Kiri.

An important thing to remember is that C1 characters were made to be in a one and done oneshot. That one shot lead to a home game that was about halfway done on the path to level 20 by the time it hit Twitch. Then on Twitch it ran for awhile before they thought this thing had any legs and is something worth pursuing in a more realized way. You arf looking at almost 2/3rds of character levels consumed before they started taking this seriously as an enterprise. C2 characters were conceived of from their inception to be stage characters for an audience rather than a bunch of dick and fart jokes with your friends whose group name was the Super High Intensity Team. But yes, one Grog to rule them all.

I don’t recall him making any kind of ruling like that, but I also can’t remember any situations (other than the kiln) where Fjord manifested the sword and then let it out of his grip for the minute it takes to bamf out of existence. Regardless, I would rule the kiln scene to be a special case. More than just destroying the sword, Fjord’s clear intent was to break his pact with his patron. There aren’t really any rules for that, but tossing your pact weapon into lava is one hell of a way to go about it and you’d have to be a really awful GM to ruin such a scene over the pact weapon rule.
