Chetney, being as cool about it as he can be, when he talks to Keyleth :

Now Ashton's been through a lot in the past few hours learning a metric buttload more in one conversation than they've had in a while, and yeah, it's a little freaky and yeah, deserving to freak out over what it all means about what he is (unknowns are scary man. Being transmogrified to a thought-to-be-dead race of entities on the power level of dieties? extra scary)...

But he's still chatting with the rest of the group early on in the episode, and it isn't clear they're gonna have a panic attack shortly.

Until he makes the mean joke to Orym about the Crown Keepers. Which has some layers to it, too.

They immediately not only backpedal but shortly after a few quips about other stuff Taliesin rolls a die, and I think that roll was to determine if Ash was gonna have a panic attack.

They make one or two more comments before Tal makes the decision to have Ashton slip away from the group, quietly, without announcing he's leaving or going to get his new threads.

I don't think it's the entire reason he's having an attack, but I'm pretty sure hurting Orym's feelings set it off.

Imogen’s reaction to Laudna’s “cold” comment has me intrigued. Especially since Laudna hasn’t brought it up yet. Obviously there’s still time for her to bring it up, but I do think it’s interesting she didn’t mention it before they went to bed when she could catch Imogen alone or something.

was he an experiment, a familiar, just a simple pet? whys he undead? there's gotta be something. there's some random piece of lore that's linked to gargo I know it. was he once named gargoyle or something?
