Christian!😭💛

You are were the best of us. Sleep well.

Bonus Matt:

Oh Liliana Temult the Exaltant that you are.

— "You are next." She holds out her blade, the one that previously pierced your torso and sent you into the Shadow Realm to face Delilah. — I immediately retract my shit-talking.

Bonus:

[ID: A digital illustration of Fresh Cut Grass and the rest of Bell's Hells, including Bertrand Bell and Dorian Storm, and FRIDA. Fresh Cut Grass is in the centre of the image, looking at the viewer and waving with their left hand. In their right hand they hold up their Changebringer coin, near to a red and white light coming from their core. Rainbow beams emerge from behind FCG, centred behind his head. In these beams are, from bottom left to bottom right going clockwise, Betrand Bell, Imogen Temult, Laudna, Ashton Greymoore, FRIDA (who is centred at the top), Fearne Calloway, Orym, Dorian Storm, and Chetney Pock O'Pea. All of them are smiling and looking towards FCG. Sparkles are drawn on the rainbow beams and a small heart is drawn next to FRIDA. End description.]

Smiley day to ya!

I'm alive because they made me alive. It's the connections that I made with all of them, and it's a feeling of joy. I'm happy to do this. (insp. via @igotublue)

critters how are we feeling? :C

Alive, alive, alive.

I cast Guiding Bolt...

On myself, straight through the orb portal glass thing. And I will aim it at my heart, and I will trigger a nuclear reaction, if at all possible. I get to roll with advantage...I'm Blaze of Glorying. That's a 14 plus 11 to hit, so that hits. It hits me....I wouldn't know what the blast radius is, so I would, with all of my movement, I would just charge into her and push as hard as I can as I power up. The rage that I feel, the stress being so high, the fuel pumping through my core, it has reached a level it has never reached before, and it is so intense that for the first time I realize that I am made of metal and wires, but I am alive for the first time. And I am alive not because I was made by D or Dancer, or even the Changebringer, but I am alive because they made me alive, and it's the connections that I made with all of them. And it's a feeling of joy, and I'm happy to do this, because they saved my life, and I'll save theirs.

Up the butt

On the topic of FCG potentially being reincarnated--it makes sense as an option the party might organically consider attempting, but, as we saw with Laudna's death (and even Percy's way back when), input from the player is a really operative aspect of whether a character will be resurrected. Marisha clearly did not want to let Laudna go, so they pursued a long road to bring her back. Alternatively, Taliesin was totally willing to let Percy go if he thought the ritual offerings wouldn't be enough (shoutout to Vex's nat 20 persuasion check for this one).

And Sam? Well, Sam, as a player, loves to fail. Because failing is interesting, usually far more interesting than succeeding. We're talking about a guy who openly derides luck points and fervently refused to use the halfling luck feature except in the ONE instance where succeeding the roll would have had a worse outcome than failing. Regardless of how I or anyone else feels about losing FCG and/or wanting them back, Sam does not strike me as the kind of player who would want to bring FCG back after going out like this, available reincarnation or not. I would both suspect and anticipate that this will be FCG's final showing, just based on what I know of Sam as a player

I was rewatching some old 4-Sided Dives this morning bc I'm still in a weird mood since Thursday night. I'm watching episode 8 and -
