Speaking Of Slowly Dying On Camera

Darktow or: How Fjord Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Turtle.

Shoutout to GoodAtAccents!Liam having BadAtAccents!Caleb do an accent and it truly sounds like someone who is good at accents doing a voice that is bad at accents doing an accent

More seriously though, "only human on muppet island" jokes aside, I truly genuinely love the suggestion that the Revelry's disaster of a fight is in part because the Plank King massively overstretched his organization and resources trying to take over Nicodranas. Like yeah, that's what happens to organizations when they have scope creep, overtaxed bandwidth and limited budget, constant turnover (such as via defenestration...) reducing deep organizational memory, and hostile leadership keeping everything and everyone on edge. Even when they do have talent or assets (mage assassins, dragon turtle under contract) their gross inefficiencies become indistinguishable from incompetence, and these advantages are squandered. And it can happen fast! A year and a half ago the Plank King totally may have had competent aides. His second in command could probably better interpret his communication. But everyone is stressed and burned out and disorganized and there are no employee assistance programs in Darktow. And in the face of a single massive high-stress event - such an attack by the hypercompetent M9 - all of the assorted weaknesses give out and everything absolutely collapses at the seams. Sadly you were just bad at business, Plank King.
