Anyone who is interested in Eldritch Horror as a genre needs to watch Burrow’s End. Aabria is giving us a master class in what makes Eldritch Horror so scary. It’s not just that there’s a big scary monster that has the wrong number of limbs or eyes (although we are getting that in the form of the hazmat suits), nor is it the wrongness of the effects of the creatures (which we get in the parasitic chipmunks), it’s how much bigger everything is than the stoats.
It’s the concept of witnessing something so much above and beyond your comprehension that you can’t describe it. It’s trying to explain what that thing is when you don’t have the vocabulary, and how strange things become when you have to dumb down what you saw so others can understand. Having to say things like “non-bear” and “blue sun”. It’s trying to explain what reading is when there’s no concept of a written language with letters. How unsettling things are when you can’t understand.
We even get the root of Eldritch Madness in Thorn. He seems strange, sketchy, and even unstable to his family, not because he’s actually “mad” but because he witnessed something incomprehensible. He understands something fundamental about the world that no one else can grasp unless they’ve also witnessed it.
Everything about this, even the pieces of the puzzle that the audience can put together with their own experiences, is made unsettling and strange.

I'm imagining that the main reason they don't remember how to get rid of possession was because the Nein was basically immune to ghosts by the time Caduceus showed up, so it hasn't come up since campaign 1, because Matt barely ever pitted them against ghosts.
But also, given how often Vox failed against possession, it is very funny.

btw Still thinking about the moment where Tula first realizes she's literally, mechanically unable to keep up with / catch Jaysohn when he bolts and runs his full speed. That revelation that she's not fast enough to stop him, or get alongside him, much less get in front of him to protect him if he needed it. The dread terror of it. :(

Lou Wilson had all of my respect
He didn't need to DO THAT.
This is something I said about Lou in the Pirate Brawl ep of Sophomore year (when he has his terrible, awful, no good, very bad day):
So listen, YES I know this is Lou. Mr. Commitment to the Bit himself.
But DUDE.
I don't care HOW popular the dice say you are you absolutely CANNOT recover from THAT. You, Fig, and Adaine better start learning Modify Memory and tracking down everyone in that class because that was absolutely the worst thing you could have made canon.
You could have just thrown up in front of Mazey dude. Insane.
