I see this whole season is just brennan showing off that he can say words nobody else can

the rat grinders getting whomped because they don't know how actual combat works is exactly what I've been waiting for all season. fabian taking down ivy in one turn bc they have no hp, them grouping up bc they don't know they're not supposed to and getting immediately shit on by adaine, riz's attack of opportunity doing more damage to kipperlilly than her actual attack did to him, gorgug taking down oisin by the end of round 1 bc they didn't protect their wizard, kristen and k2 both bringing all their friends up while keeping themselves strategically hidden bc they know better, riz diving into the lava like it's nothing bc he's a badass, adaine slapping jace's counterspell out of the air, fig tanking that hit from porter and casting that clutch fireball. just. beautiful. iconic. poetic. exactly what the rat grinders deserve after xp grinding for three years instead of actually adventuring. you fucking suck at this game kipperlilly!! you might be high level but you're shit at pvp!!!!!

everybody got mad

rage

Few DnD scenes will ever be funnier for me to imagine than Riz Gukgak fully fucking submerging himself in lava and Kipperlilly revealing herself just out of pure and utter shock

Love that we envisioned Riz vs Kipperlilly’s battle to be spy vs spy but in reality it’s them calling each other freaks and yelling “you suck!!” from their respective hiding places.

Hey, Kick-in-the-teeth Claptrap, you know who was also a halfling rogue, with a perfectly normal family made up entirely of Mumple people????

Penny freaking Luckstone, of The Seven Maidens.

And she had the Society of Shadows beating down her door for an internship after graduation. So that fully sounds like a skill issue for you bitch.

there's something so poetic about kipperlilly copperkettle—who hated one of her classmates for daring to be better than her and having a dead dad, who refused to improve herself and instead chose to be bitter and entitled, who was so obsessed with being Special and Important like she felt she deserved that she willingly worked with a rage god, betrayed her party, and killed her friend—getting killed by fucking. Hold Person. her fancy optimal build IMMEDIATELY folding in the face of riz's cleverness and experience and applied knowledge. she spends years fixated solely on racking up EXP and getting the Best Abilities, and then when she dies, she's killed not in glorious combat but by a clever, practical application of a 2nd level spell that she NEVER would have ever thought of using because she has no creativity or adventurers' spirit, cast by the same classmate she always hated with a watch his dead dad gave him.

i think the funniest thing about kipperlilly and riz being parallels and the narrative obviously lining up for them to go toe to toe in the presidential campaign is like… kipperlilly could plan for riz. she could meta all the rogue shit she wants and pretend to be four steps ahead like she’s ever gone on a real adventure herself.

how the fuck do you plan for kristen applebees?

you suck at this game

burn the incense of our innocence and in a sense we thrive
