RQG 94
Players are ribbing Alex over how emotional the episodes are
Alex: Elves all look the same to Bryn
Bryn: poorly described characters look the same to Bryn
Did it occur to either of you that there is a reason you weren't allowed in? That maybe it wasn't safe
Ooh the guard was attacking them and was killed by a tomb trap
Hamid is done with Howard
Khufu is Pre-meritocracy this sounds worth a relisten when I'm not caught up on urgent matters
Nuance Grizzop, he needs to confess to breaking in, not killing the guard, which you were game to string him up for
Howard we didn't like you to begin with, quit digging
Sasha have an ounce of understanding for Hamid
Are you serious Howard?
Oh God Alex is, the team is going to do the same thing just on the up and up
Howard has gone from taking responsibility for everything to nothing; while still thinking he is the most important person in the world
I get the temptation Sasha, but the paladins really should object to assaulting a prisoner in their charge
Ben "oh no the roof of the orphanage"?
The guards don't want to deal with the hassle and won't listen to the confession
Oh really Grizzop, is it maybe like people should listen to context before closing the case?
Drop the Tahan name and now they scramble
...to the wrong conclusion
Hamid is still convinced of the power of talking it out. I wish that getting people to actually listen was the same as just saying the words in their hearing
Azu has a problem power structure of the LOLOMG. Hamid is willing to reform it but not when they are trading on his name and perceived power to them in
Paperwork is important
Alex I don't like that call for a linguistic check, is there something wrong with the paperwork?
Yeah the guards being on the level isn't the same as whether justice will be served
Go Lydia! I love her comments on the justice system
Finally taking a break to plan for the future
"Grizzop and Hamid are a rounding error" on whether the celestial camel can carry all of them
Azzop's main priority is Sasha, my heart
They suggest looping Saira in before it occurs to Hamid.
I know you don't want to launch straight into it, but less small talk; more curses and not actually murder
Poor Saira
Um she did ask so maybe also mention the "Apophis is your grandfather"
Oscar, of course
There you go
And that's the break
No we don't know how bad this is
Did Alex take Bryn's wanting a character that could to turn into a dragon, to set up the breaking of this world's government?
Grizzop jumps to Saira having them all killed to keep the knowledge down to family
No Saira, you needed to know as head of the family I don't think anyone else needs to know including Apophis. Keep quiet and maybe check if the twins have claws. Do not do a press release announcing that The Meritocrats have kids and patronize their banks
London is what?
Other London riots? Random chaos? We just talked to Barrett
How much does Apophis need to know they know? Dangerous game to pretend ignorance but so is letting him know they know
Hamid hug of the episode?
Poor Sasha wants to go back, Hamid is willing to go but wants them to have a plan and cure Sasha first.
Grizzop, on the bow of Artemis, if you don't let him comfort her and back his play for five minutes...
"we don't have Bertie to shout them down now"- Sasha is at least willing to let them try to cure her before they run off to London half cocked
Alex did you think for a minute Hamid was just going to say "all's well that ends well" and take up the planing in the morning?
Part of me wants him to open the conversation with "if you were willing to talk for five minutes before jumping straight to turning in my brother you might have found out there wasn't actually a murder". Most of me knows it's time for Hamid to be all leader-y and focus on the future. And maybe clear up their understanding of his own crimes before they jump to anymore conclusions
Good let's talk
Lydia is having fun
Oh come on he didn't ask them cover up for his brother he asked for their help figuring out what to do in light of his father's false confession, specifically how to make Jr bear responsibility outside of the judicial system. He wasn't all in the right but he asked for five minutes and a conversation before they acted and Azzop wanted to hand over Jr immediately. If they hadn't had this conversation in front of Howard they never would have known Jr was a) cursed and b) not a cold blooded murderer
Hamid is actually asking for honest clarification so he can understand what he did wrong
Ow Hamid stepped right in it
And Azzop don't see anything wrong on their end
Actually Grizzop he explicitly didn't want to just exile Jr he wanted you advice on what he should do and you didn't even want to explain why other options wouldn't work before all but calling him evil
He is honestly asking to learn why what he did was wrong so he doesn't do it again
No he didn't make the decision on his own, he wanted to talk to his friends before making one
Azu is at least willing to accept his apology
There is the real hug of the episode. Azu thinks he was making a mistake but understands wasn't out of evil
Oh Hamid, 1)prank gone wrong (because of GIDEON) is different than a co-conspirator died trying to kill you and 2)for the love of Aphrodite tell the paladins the full story on that before Grizzop gets ideas 3)have a possibly separate conversation with Sasha about how your family is messed up but not actually Mafia
Was the sandstorm specifically so the party couldn't split on Alex again?
Alex I swear she better make those saves
Poor Hamid would have nightmares
Good Hamid hit a nerve with Grizzop
Oh Azu has faith that it would be OK if they chat it out? You know like Hamid wanted to?*
The grammar is what breaks Ben, not the nearly party breaking fight?
Azu has to roll to pick up that Sasha wasn't actually just complimenting the staff
Oh Sasha, you do have people to care about and who care about you
Hamid want to tell them about your past now?
Oh so Grizzop sees no conflict with his assumption that the only justice is within the law and letting Hamid atone in his own way
Thank you Sasha, he needs to explain rather than just keep calling himself a murderer without context
*yeah I am going to keep on this hill, he wanted to talk before making a decision; you would have handed over a man for murder and call it a day without even hearing the context of Hamid asking for your input. That's before you get into him being nineteen asking advice from his paladin friends. Or that near as I can tell the only way Sr shows that he cares about them is providing money and shielding them from consequences. Or that I still think a major factor in Sr's decision is that if the guy responsible for protecting the vault breaks in and kills someone that's just on him; but if he fails to prevent his son from doing the same that looks like a multi-generation conspiracy that could destroy trust in the entire family and the bank they run.
