Brjeaus corner, already very strong:

Really loved the scene where he sees Nott stealing and tricks her into giving him the acid, or when he wants everybody naked in the bathhouse to discuss important things xD

- The early episodes of C2, especially here in Zadash, did such a good job of laying a solid groundwork for everything to come. The players got the time to do some low stakes stuff so they had time to get to know each other, Zadash was a great location for really getting the flavor and ongoing conflicts of the empire, plenty of foreshadowing, and there was enough breathing room for the group to figure out who they were and wanted to be. I know plenty of campaigns start off with an inciting incident that immediately kicks off a plot and it works fine, but I’m a big fan of these slower starts that really let things simmer.

- The Mighty Nein really were just constantly needling at each other over everything, and this is meant in a complimentary way. Between Fjord clearly trying to scope out who was trustworthy, Beau’s nosiness, and Jester and Nott’s general lack of filter, the characters were constantly playing bumper cars against all each others’ secrets and backstory-influenced behaviors and quirks, and it’s so fun on a rewatch watching them violently stomp on each others’ rakes. Even something like Caleb’s commitment to being grubby, which could have easily just been passed over for character flavor or being eccentric didn’t slip past Beau.

- Ive said this many times, but the early C2 vibes were just so good. I’m not sure what particular sauce Matt was cooking with for this one, everything was just so vivid and well thought out (or maybe my nostalgia goggles are on too tight 😆).

Jester: Maybe you should ask him about his tattoos since you have tattoos as well. Molly: Just because someone has tattoos doesn't mean they know everyone who has a tattoo. These are very different tattoos.

A short time earlier...

Molly: Does anything about his tattoo irritate me?

nott: these tools are so much better than mine. 😃

beau: yeah, i stole them off of a really rich guy. 😏

nott: can i hang on to them for–🥹

beau: yeah. 😉

nott: you can have mine 😌. actually you can't 🙃, i'd like to keep them. 😬😬

beau: you'll just owe me later, how about that? 🤔
