Cool, because it was terrifying! Can you remember the long room where that bird chases you and throws things and you have to run? And at the end there’s a bell you can ring? Well, I ran through and as soon as I was out of the room, I turned back so I could examine everything. But it didn’t lead me to the previous room, but the weird one. So now I have an egg in key items. Description: Not too important, not too unimportant.

YEAH I REMEMBER THAT ROOM because it’s the closest I came to dying in the whole game. I confess that going back was the last thing on my mind once I was shot of that bird.

O____O

Uh, nope! Nope, that never happened to me. Admittedly, I didn’t backtrack too much so I might not have had the opportunity, but that...that sure sounds like a thing and I have genuinely never seen it mentioned elsewhere. 

Well, the situation with Jester’s mum was already taken care of by the time the rest of the disaster happened. They were just trying to get some other info but things occurred and they reacted and now things are weird and dangerous!

I mean, fair enough, I did not realize the extent to which one plot had bled into another.

Oh, I didn’t remember that they had to escort her back! That does change things a little. I feel like there’s an opportunity to get Molly back (which I’d greatly approve of), but we’ll see what happen. Next week is gonna be super important!

I double checked, but yeah, CritRoleStats did a writeup reminder of the Gentlemen’s specifications and escorting her back was included!

“...travel northward [...] to parlay with Ophelia. Help her in absolving her from her current mire of complications and return with her here to Zadash.”

(It’s easy to forget minor details like this since that was ten episodes ago at this point.)

They technically haven’t even gotten paid yet, they only got an advance of 500 GP. The other 4500 is waiting for them upon successful delivery of Miss Mardun.

So she’s gonna be on the road with them for a couple of weeks and having them grateful to her can only work in her favor.

Unfortunately, Ophelia doesn’t believe she owes them anything since they’ve already been paid by The Gentleman to clear out the Iron Shepards (according to her). They did their duty, nothing more. The M9 can ask for a huge ass favour, though.

She does not seem like an unreasonable woman, they have proven themselves immensely capable fighters who are capable of following orders and acting with some degree of subtlety, and they do still have to escort her back to Zadash so she is going that way anyway. I have to believe she’d see the value of being owed a huge ass favor from the Mighty Nein in exchange for five hundred GP worth of diamonds and a spell slot, especially since this would take place out in the middle of nowhere so it’s not like she’d have much chance of being outed as participating in “illegal” resurrections. 

Holy heck, congrats, Lovely! =D That is a big task, and you got through it! ✿ ✾ ʚϊɞ
