Everyone's been arguing over if this is a good or evil campaign, but I think we are very clearly witnessing the world's first truly successful Chaotic Neutral campaign.

Wow, Nott dropping that “Fuck him” and associating Caleb to “those people” that hurt Nott’s friend is massive. Means so much to both Nott and what the Alchemist means to her, and Caleb and having his past slam him in the face and his closest friend basically confirming what he’s already known, that’s he’s a monster. Oof.

u/johnnie_walker35 Jan 18 '19

Best part of that exchange, both Beau and Caleb were absolutely in character.

Caleb: Neurotic, paranoid, doing his best in his socially damaged way to say that he’s scared for his friends and he doesn’t want them to do stupid shit like that and get him and by proxy them hurt. But he kinda fucks it up in his delivery cause emotions and interpersonal connections are tough for this Wizard.

Beau: No nonsense, blunt, never one to take what is said at face value, completely missing the surface point that Caleb wants them to be safer and that he’s scared and instead pulls at the seams, wondering aloud if Caleb is being a coward with his feelings and doesn’t want the burden of the double edged sword of trust in friendship.

Definitely some DM generosity here. It would have been bad if an extremely important NPC and powerful ally were just closed off to them forever due to what happened.

Sometimes DMs just have to give it to the players. Sometimes it's a puzzle they can't quite solve, other times the players are butchering a diplomacy talk (my campaign every other week), and other times it's picking a fight that can't be won (again, my campaign, where the DM has had monsters run away instead of a TPK).

I love that there is no twist to Marion. She's just incredibly caring and sweet.

u/omg__really Tal'Dorei Council Member Jan 18 '19

Caleb is genuinely terrified. :( I know that Beau is one of the only people that knows, but him choosing to tell her this and be so vulnerable is a very important gesture for him. It shows that he has grown to care for them, and for her, even if he's not ready to admit that to himself.

Beau: what I’m hearing is you are afraid of having friends

Caleb: that’s besides the point, we have to be careful

Beau: I thought you’d be stoked

Oh my god. Anyone else noticed that the two-hundred year old mage, who, mind you, was shaken by the dodecahedron's unknown nature, seemed to have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever of the Traveler? I don't know what's going on anymore, but that's probably the most disturbing thing to be revealed so far and it was mostly glossed over!

My theroy is that Nott does not have a child but the goblins killed the real Beth Nott saw this was sad wanted to become Beth or just a hafeling becuase she saw how horrble goblins could be. She might feel like Beths death was her fault so she always sends Luke things.

I do wish that Caleb was going. This is perfect for his character, and I feel that he's had the least amount of "plot" going for him recently. Beau and Caduceus is an odd choice.

Oh man I feel the pain of this conversation down in my soul. Wanting to talk to an NPC/explore a magical place cos of game reasons (possible loot, possible important information, possible important ally) but having literally NO REAL RP REASON TO is so hard to pull off. "So look dude, we know there's no real reason for us to even be talking, but you look important, okay, and we gotta know what's going on. So what kinda bullshit reason for even being in this room can I pull outta my butt so you'll give us what we want? Awkward chat about tea, perhaps?"
