#Liam Has Taken A Backseat In This Campaign Vis-A-Vis The Backstory Spotlight (Not That Caleb Was Really That Interested In The Limelight)

Something that intrigued me about last episode is that it seems like Liam is holding back on his Fragments of Possibility on purpose. Orym took a few significant hits and poor rolls during the fight with Delilah, and it seemed like someone else reminded him about the dunamis potions, but Liam said “I’m saving that for something else” (or something nearly that verbatim). I’m going a little bit out on a limb and assuming that he was talking about the Fragments, but I think I’m making an accurate educated guess here.
What I’m then thinking will happen is Orym is going to insist on playing a part in the resurrection spell, and Liam wants a little bit of extra insurance in case of a bad roll. Fearne chose Orym over Laudna, and I’m sure that’s not sitting completely comfortably with Orym, who’s already been The Survivor™ even if he’s not chock full of guilt about it. He’s lost too much when he didn’t have any say in it, and this is a good opportunity for him to play an active role in making this very wrong situation right. He may have bonded a bit more with Imogen as the de facto leader types, but he also has been consistently introspective and observant (and he CARES...by the gods he cares SO MUCH). He knows this creepy (affectionate) woman has been struggling in general AND with Delilah specifically, and there’s not a single part of him that doesn’t want to reach out and help.
What I’m saying is, Liam is doing everything in his power to make sure whatever role Orym has to play goes off without a hitch. He already gets to reroll 1′s once, but now he’ll be able to roll ANY unsatisfactory roll. And that may make the difference. I guess we’ll see on Thursday!
