CR2 Quick Reacts - ep 114
Time to once again dive into the frigid waters of LA-people RPing a DnD party in the North - and climb back out without a worry in the world.
I’m mad at myself because when Matt described the scene of scrying on Molly, I have a memory of him leaving through a DOOR which opened up to the outside, and I immediately pictured a lonely cottage out in the middle of nowhere. Realizing now it was a WINDOW that he left through makes more sense, but I discarded the possibility too early to give it proper analysis.
I don’t actually think Vess was dead before dinner. She talked at length with the Nein about the Cerberus Assembly, and their travels, and their exploits in Aeor, and she called the Assembly ‘family’ - which I thought was an odd choice of words, but Caleb rolled with it? Trent had previously made allusions to their little in-group being a family, so it treks.
HOWEVER, Cree also called THEIR cult a family, so who knows. WHO KNOWS. Trust no one. I wouldn’t put it past Mollygon to have been on the ship. They never scryed on him during their travels. A pity, really.
Can’t wait to see how this goes now that Caleb just put the body of an important Assembly member into a magical box. Surely she’s contacted several times throughout the day by others? Surely the mages back at Rexxentrum will notice that none of their emails are getting replies? They can convince a few random foot soldiers with illusions and magic and make their way out, but convincing a powerful set of wizards that they didn’t personally kill Vess... especially when it was the Nein that pushed her to change her departure schedule...
Caduceus was right - not all problems can be solved by throwing them into the river of lava. MOST problems... but not all.
