Fjord: No

Molly: No

Almost caught up! A lot of fun conversations this episode

(36) I really do appreciate that most people are just people, not especially evil or good or anything. Like the nein were ready to lie and hide, but the Brand are just people, so why wouldn't they help some citizens in need

(50) Yasha dream! tbh I forgot about this.

(1:03) I do love Nott and Yasha's friendship. It makes Nott's more goblin-y traits feel less monstrous when Yasha is also Like That

(1:06) okay but why is Fjord collecting stuff from the lightening tree. Is it Travis wanting to notice the Stormlord symbol? Fjord mentioned putting shit in his component pouch and he doesn't even have one. I appreciate that Matt didn't let them notice the symbol since it's fairly meta-driven that they even went up to the tree

(1:08) Jester: "Is it considered faith if you just really like somebody?" "No" Another hint that the Traveler isn't actually a god

(1:20) Liam: "True love!" when Fjord rolls a nat 20 to get the tree booger out of Jester's eye. He doesn't know it yet, but he's right

(2:14) I love the antagonism between Fjord and Nott. (But also very interesting that Fjord gets shit for not making it into melee, even though he has distant range, while no one gives Molly shit for the same thing when his ranged attacks are basically trash. If I was being an ass I would say it's because no expects anything out of Molly in combat)

(2:20) god bless Matt's sad bird noises

(2:34) It's really fucking funny that the Nein basically just adopted a child. They keep calling themselves assholes but also they're so nice that saved a random child from a swamp and just..kept her

(2:51) "This means nothing and I want to win" the motto of the M9 lol

(3:06) I do love Caleb's ease at slipping into manipulation. Like it comes from a bad place in his past, but you gotta love competence. He is so ready to manipulate everyone at all times

(3:23) Huh it seems like Caleb cut Nott off from saying something interesting. Like Nott was saying that she was jealous of Caleb's problems cause theyre in the past, but he cut her off before she said anything about how her problems are ongoing. She may even have revealed more if given the chance to finish her statement. On the other hand, it says a lot about Caleb that he shut down the conversation when Nott started to suggest that Caleb could be redeemed

(ashley) lord of the wings, i would go there. just as a side note. morden-cayenne wings! let's do it.

(jester) you don't have to buy alcohol at all anymore? (nott) no. well, i mean, i rarely did anyway. i stole it, but now i don't have to do that either!

(nott) yes, it replenishes with my favorite kind of whiskey. (fjord) which is...? (nott) the kind that gets you good and drunk!

(caleb) how many members of the mighty nein are there? (nott) nine. but two are always gone.

(taliesin) you don't know any mending magic, do you? (laura) i have mending! i have a mending cantrip. (liam) i have, for two minutes, been thinking: if only i had the mending spell.

(fjord/travis) fuck the rules. give me saline or give me death. (matt) smash cut to fjord's grave.

(marisha) from my perspective it looks like the gator is super stoked about having this lollipop.

(travis) uh oh, uh oh. he's looking at the great wall. he rarely references the great wall.

(sam) i even die fast.

(laura) don't die anyone, don't die. i thought i could bring you back. why do have that stupid spell prepared if i can't even use it?!

(travis) i'll look at that nice piece of luggage and i'll say (fjord) nott today! (sam) i just failed two death saves from that pun.

(nott) what's a slop dolly? (fjord) we're in it!

(fjord) careful, it's sharp. (kiri) it's sharp.

(kiri) i don't know, i just want to get back to my family. (ashley) insight check. she killed them all.

(kiri) welcome to the mighty nein! (jester/laura) i love her so much! (nott/sam) she's the best of us!

(caleb) i just want to point out that, if we pick up one more stray, there will actually be nine of us. (beau) then we wouldn't be ironic anymore. are we cheeky or are we serious? (caleb) it can be both.

(febron keyes) there be curses in this swamp. have been since before this loathsome struggle shithole's been here. nightmares i been having, yeah? been having ever since. whatever it is, it's gotten in me head! i ain't going. it ain't worth it if i had the coin! (jester) what if we paid you 100 coin? (febron keyes) i'll come for that.

after spending a cold night in the rain:

caleb: i'm working on making a magical shelter for us. it's not ready yet, but i'm getting closer.

the rest of the mighty nein: WHAT DO YOU NEED?? PAPER?? INCENSE??

caleb: time. 🫤😔

At 10:55, The Hunter's Path from Witcher III plays for the second half of Matt's recap. It's a very somber, twangy song that plays in a swamp region in the game, so it's no surprise that it would get Matt into the right mood for it.

At 28:00, right as Jester attempts her Mending cantrip on the broken cart, A Nearly Peaceful Place from Witcher 2 starts up. There's a distinctive woodwind opening.

At 38:15 or so, Forest Day 2 from World of Warcraft begins . The link below is timestamped to that song, and the rest of the compilation has very similar music.

At 41:14, The Tree When We Sat Once from Witcher III plays as Beau asks Fjord about his dreams.

I didn't recognize a good chunk of the combat music, but they might be from Pillars of Eternity.

At about 1:59:15, City of Intrigues begins just before Yasha's turn, after Jester heals Kiri.

At about 2:07:00, Commanding the Fury began during the outcry about Beau's natural 20 to punch a gator. It was hard to make out the exact starting point.

When the cast returned to the break, Matt was already playing Azuremyst Isle themes from World of Warcraft. The compilation below has all of the themes for the region.

At 2:18:45, Family Matters plays as Kiri requests Caleb's book. Seems like an apt choice given she explains what happened to her family.

Around 2:29:25, Emhyr Var Emreis plays as the the PCs carve into the beasts for leather and discover black feathers.

Forest Day 2 from the Redridge Mountains compilation replays around 2:36:10 when Caleb's attempt at Comprehend Languages fails.

Matt switches to WoW Tavern music once the Nein arrive at the Keystone Pub in Berleben. At 2:52:30, Thunderbrew begins to play as he introduces a dwarf patron (which might be because it's the default inn music for dwarven establishments in the game). It's timestamped below.

Next is the Salty Sailor at about 2:54:30.

That's it for embedded links, but there's a few more!

Another Round for Everyone begins as Molly wakes up Febron Keyes with some light bullying.
