Introduction to Eberron Renewed
00:00:10
Speaker
D20 radio, your game is roll.
00:00:48
Speaker
Hello everyone and welcome to Eberron Renewed, an actual play tabletop RPG podcast where we play in the Eberron setting using the Genesis game system. I am Jeff.
00:00:58
Speaker
I am Randy. Let's do this thing.
Spoiler Alert for New Listeners
00:01:01
Speaker
Let's do this thing. And we are not playing today. So let's do something different. We are discussing the last three episodes. Randy's here with me today. And yeah, for those of you that are new to this, please don't listen to this episode. Please start at the beginning of a campaign because this episode is just spoilers for what's happened. A hundred and some odd 200, up to 200 episodes in. We passed episode 200.
00:01:23
Speaker
of this campaign, Randy. Yes, we did. Including reviews, but that's a lot of D&D, not D&D. That's a lot of Genesis. Okay, so this episode began.
Character Reflections: Milo and Randy
00:01:33
Speaker
And Randy, we haven't talked to you about it. It's not a review. Why don't you talk just for a second about the death of Ace and how that affected you and how that affected Milo, and then we can actually get into the episodes. Well, I, you know,
00:01:46
Speaker
I think we all kind of knew who that character was. I think we all, as players, you didn't. No, I'm dumb, Randy. Oh, yeah. It was not for a while until I realized what that was, who he was. Yeah. It wasn't, I can't say it was a total surprise, but I wasn't thinking it when it happened. Oh, yeah, yeah. Please go ahead. Yeah, I was thinking it was definitely Ace. And then when the massive blow came,
00:02:14
Speaker
I was like, oh no, it was a little shocking. And yeah, so it bothered me personally, but you know, that's part of the game. As far as Milo, I think where Milo's at in his life, it's like, yeah, it affected him, but he's like, everything's affecting me. You know, I mean, I'm,
00:02:39
Speaker
people are dying. I've lost, you know, he's lost his wife. It's like, here's somebody else now. It's just, I think he's just getting more and more unhappy. Yeah. As it goes, like, Oh, here we go. Here's somebody else now. Yeah.
Jeff's Oversight in Character Developments
00:02:58
Speaker
I used to think I was joking or being facetious or maybe even showing a bit of humility when I would call myself dumb, but it turns out I'm actually dumb and was right the whole time. Because no, it didn't enter my head for a second once we started that fight. I thought Eric was giving us another toy to play with. I mean, obviously, if we had heard, if I had thought long enough and this character had been introduced in rumor and not
00:03:22
Speaker
in action, I think we all would have gone through. Well, it's clearly ace. Yeah. I just didn't get there quickly enough. Well, it was fun. Well, yeah. I mean, he wasn't going to let it go without a fight and we weren't going to let it go if he wasn't going to acquiesce to what we were wanting. But it's funny because when it did happen, I was like, oh, crap. And then I know in my head, I was like, don't be ace, don't be ace.
00:03:51
Speaker
I'm not proud of the fact. I pick up on a lot of nuance in this thing, but that one just slipped by me in the moment. It did. We'll be relitigating that forever, I think. A couple of things from campaign one that we won't talk about today, and that'll be one of the campaign two things that will be relitigated.
00:04:07
Speaker
Well, you know, I have questions like, Kath, I mean, was she there the whole time just watching? You know, was she late to the scene? Like she was trying to follow him? Obviously, in some capacity they were working together, you would think. I may be wrong, but I feel like we were asked at one point to make a perception check that I think if one of us had passed it well enough, we might have seen Kath. We might have seen her, yeah. I believe she might have been there, yes.
00:04:32
Speaker
Yep, yep. Okay.
Hobb's Directness vs. Milo's Hesitation
00:04:34
Speaker
I didn't remember that. I don't I don't pretend to understand the working of Eric's mind. He could have had an entirely different thing in for that. Oh, yeah. Perception check for sure. But
00:04:45
Speaker
Let's go ahead and jump into episode 198, which begins with Hobb waiting at the four sales to talk to Ulfin and Sana about what happened the night before. And yeah, the way that I played that is just Hobb was going to come in there and rip the Band-Aid off because there's no point in, Hobb doesn't think there's any point in prolonging telling them because it's going to hurt just as bad no matter when he tells them.
00:05:06
Speaker
Whereas Milo would be hemming and hawing and trying to skirt the issue. Right.
Emotional Intelligence Among Characters
00:05:11
Speaker
I was, Eric did bring up the good point of, I walked in there clearly having bad news to tell by myself, which was a terrible move. I should have started with who was okay, you know? Yeah.
00:05:22
Speaker
Yeah, because if you walk in, you're like, sit down, I've got bad news. And you're normally with three other people and you're alone. Yeah, it would make sense that mine would first go to those three other people. But yeah, and it just, I mean, it goes like you would expect. They're very sad and old. They decide not to work that day. And thankfully, neither of them were mad at Hobb. I don't know if we'll find out that they harbor resentment later. But as of right now, neither of them seems to be. I made the decision and we talked about it later in the episode not to tell them about Kath's involvement. Right, right.
00:05:52
Speaker
I think it was talking in a conversation with Milo that Hobb said like, let's let them grieve first before we get them all mad. Yep. For sure. Which may or may not have been the right move. Hobb does not have the highest emotional intelligence. Hobb has bad emotional intelligence, but also the highest emotional intelligence of the party. We are, I mean, what's the word I'm looking for? It's not malcontent or miscreant.
Strategic Planning with Erin
00:06:14
Speaker
It's
00:06:15
Speaker
something else, we are not socially aware people. But once that's done, everybody gets together at the Sorting Spirits where Milo had been sleeping one off in the closet, right? Yep, yep, sleeping in the closet. I can't remember, it's been so long now.
00:06:29
Speaker
Did you have a drink afterwards and get to that point? Or were you just sad tired? No, I was just sad tired and went in there. I think I had some calf and then I just went to sleep. Gotcha. But we eventually get around to having the conversations we need to have. We fill in Raynard about what happened.
00:06:50
Speaker
And Trevor's just weird about it. Yep. Trevor's very, Raynard is very Raynard about it. I don't want to put that voodoo on Trevor. It's not his fault his character acts the way it does. I guess it is. But we decided it's time to start meeting up with the Underbosses and telling them it's go time. Yeah. Because, oh no, I'm so sorry. The first, we meet with Aaron first before we go to the Underbosses. Right, we get Aaron. And have a long meeting in this episode 198.
00:07:13
Speaker
with Erin, just about, just a thousand contingencies is really what it came down to. We talk about potentially setting her up with a meeting with Sigil to get the war forged on their side. Yeah. Oh, nevermind. I can't speak to that. Oh, okay. Yeah. For those of you listening, I don't know why I say that. Like anybody would be hearing this, that's not listening. We did, we have recorded the next handful of episodes, so we may have to sell such like that a few times throughout this.
00:07:37
Speaker
But it's essentially a logistics meeting and a what trade-offs have we promised. Hey, it was a point like, Hey, Aaron, here's all the things we said we'd do. Are you cool with that? Uh, things like moving Dell away from the, um, the Ravens and other such things.
Leveraging Lady Briar's Disdain
00:07:53
Speaker
Yeah. And she was, she was, I don't know that she ever like said no to anything really.
00:08:00
Speaker
No, it's the thing, Erin is very, for someone who is willing at Jump Street to just be like, yes, I will take over the Klan, she's very pragmatic about what she doesn't know. And very open to saying, look, these things have changed. Like when I did like, when I think, I don't remember if it was you, if it was Milo or Eris that asked what Lady Breyer is like, or no, what Lissa is like, and she's like, I don't know, she was like nine when I went to jail.
00:08:27
Speaker
It's like, oh yes, we're all very self-aware here, that's good. But we end with a task list. And she and Tarvel also have a task list. But basically what it comes down to is we're gonna go try to make a couple negotiations, do some warning, and Aaron and Tarvel are gonna wait for the go.
00:08:45
Speaker
Yeah, that's how I recall it. Yep, pretty much. And the episode ends there. Eris had built her little communication device. Oh yeah, Eris knocked together one real quick. And so the next episode, 199, is where we do some meetings. We start with Lady Briar. And we talk about how we can cause distractions. Can she make a distraction for us to pull some goals off was kind of a big part of it. Right. It didn't hurt.
00:09:12
Speaker
We really played on the fact that Lady Briar hates the Boromars. I don't know why she is okay with Eren, except for that she was supposed to like her more Nolira. Yeah, I think that's it. Not a fan of the Boromars, but maybe in her mind, the lesser of two evils. Yeah. Also, there's Bull. We did meet with Sigil before. This might not turn out of order. We'll go back to talk about the meeting with
Warforged Settlement Plans
00:09:34
Speaker
Sigil. Bull, the skull that can read. Yeah. The wiki skull is there.
00:09:39
Speaker
Yeah, and I almost felt like I might've missed the opportunity to have some fun there. Well, I mean, Eric did give us the perception check to let us know that it is the same sort of infernal imagery that Ace's familiar, or Ace's possessor. I don't even know. Patron. Patron. Possessor. Deal maker. Right. But boy, I just was not in the mood to pursue that right then. Yeah.
00:10:07
Speaker
Yeah, it just didn't seem like the right time to do that. And of course it happens again towards the tail end of the next episode that Hob has a chance to deviate from the plan. I feel like I have honestly established that Hob is a mission focused person and a team focused person and is not going to deviate.
00:10:24
Speaker
Oh, absolutely. So I feel like I was within within the fiction, but we'll talk about that later. Let's talk about Sigil, the meeting with Sigil. Sigil expresses a willingness to work with the Boromars. Yes, but what does he want? And what they want is a settlement. Yeah. The war forged or sit. I don't know how much Sigil was speaking for like the war forged, how much it was. Sigil is definitely speaking for their faction.
00:10:54
Speaker
Yeah, I think that's fair. But they have seen what high walls has become. And they want that. There's a point where Sigil says, why do I want to go back to the way it was? And it's like, well, because it's better than the way it's trending. And we can still make it better.
00:11:11
Speaker
They want a decent place they can call home. Yeah, and I don't think anybody had a problem with that. No. So the meeting was set up. Yeah, the meeting was set up. Erin and Sigil did in fact meet. When we call Erin later, they are meeting with Sigil, I believe, or she is meeting with them. Yes, she was currently meeting with Sigil when we rang in.
00:11:33
Speaker
Yeah, and we don't make any promises to them, but we let them know we'll set up the meeting and they can talk to Aaron because it seems reasonable, you know? And we could really use the Warforged. So we meet with Lady Briar, we go down to meet with, oh shoot, I think I've gotten factions mixed up. But regardless, next is Dell and Lissa.
Tactics: Distractions and Divisions
00:11:54
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know. I get them mixed up all the time. And we give them what they want. Alyssa wants Del gone. Alyssa wanted Del to die. She doesn't want to admit that, but the path that she wanted Del to go on was going to ultimately lead to his death. We, I think, managed to sidestep that, but still got him out of her hair and she was happy.
00:12:11
Speaker
Yes. And it's a similar thing with just cause distraction. Say you need help split the split the goals. That's the biggest part is we just need the goals fractured. Yeah. Because if they all come to us when we're trying to do our thing, we will be in trouble. Yep. And I believe the last call
00:12:29
Speaker
is to Coldor. That sounds
Political Maneuverings: Coldor's Offer
00:12:31
Speaker
correct. And that's when, or not the last call, the first call, the last meeting is Eris and Coldor with us screaming in the background because sending stones. But that is where things go interesting.
00:12:44
Speaker
because all of a sudden our friend Eric is like offering to take out political parties and murk people for the good of our cause and stuff. And it got very crazy. But essentially he said, yeah, we can ruin the lives of several people on the city council to get it back in Bormar control.
00:13:03
Speaker
Yeah, get them off the council and get favorable folks into the Bora Mars. Which led to... And Milo was gonna... Milo was gonna get rid of all of them and then Hob is like, but what about... Who is it? Savia. Savia. And I was like, I was like, okay, we keep that one.
00:13:22
Speaker
I was waiting to see because that did enter my mind. Eric said something, but I was going to see if names came up, but I would be like, hang on, there's one I'd like to not ruin the life of, please. And then Myla was like, well, I didn't know it was the same Savia. What? Okay, there's a question and we're just going to go ahead and...
00:13:41
Speaker
Do it. Gus7 asked this, but it fits right here and I want to get your take on it. Randy, has Milo actually considered becoming a city council member once this is all over? Now, I will say we are close to, I mean, we are somewhere close to the end of this campaign and there will be epiloguing at one point, so I don't want you to go into anything that's gonna ruin stuff, but when we were talking about city council and replacing people and getting Bormar apologists on the council, where's Milo's head with that? Is that something that you think Milo would consider doing?
00:14:11
Speaker
Well, that's something that has entered Randy's head, but I don't think Milo has considered it where Milo's head is. I mean, Milo's, whether he admits it or realizes it, he's depressed. He just wants
00:14:28
Speaker
all of it to be done. And I don't think he's thinking about being on the city council, being, you know, however things end up going, something higher up in Boromar. He's just, his mind is not there and I don't think his mind is capable of being there.
00:14:48
Speaker
yet. He just wants it all to end just to stop. Yeah. And of course, he has thoughts of the offer that was made to go to this alternate reality to be with other Kylie and daughter Maggie. A Kylie. Yes. And the Maggie.
00:15:08
Speaker
and a daughter Maggie. So yeah, he's probably considered that more than anything. Okay. Because that's been around longer. Sure. And hard to, I mean, when the love of your life that you thought you'd lost forever returns, no matter how different. Yeah. And especially if, you know, if Milo is feeling a strong connection there,
00:15:31
Speaker
Right so yeah but as far as yeah i just don't think his mind is in a place where he's considering or even thinking about being on a council being anything higher up in boromar he just wants it all to be over he wants things to go back to normal.
00:15:50
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. And then as far as the actual operation, we talk about keeping Sharm City Watch out of the area, things like that. But we get concerned with working with the watch because so many of them are on the take. Oh, and over the course, I'm sorry, talking with Lady Briar, we talk about like transportation stuff. And that's where we get the idea of,
00:16:07
Speaker
Kind of having a large group to distract and a small strike force actually go in through the back door. Right. Trojan horse. I would call it the Carnathy goat gambit. Right. Similar. Yeah. And that was Aaron. I think this is one that told us that there was that little smuggler entrance or something in the back. Was it Aaron, not Lady Briar? Okay. I think it was her. But yeah. And then episode 200 and.
Hobb's Encounter with a Demon
00:16:33
Speaker
we're prepping and Hobb says he goes off to get some healing potions because he thinks we're probably gonna need him and he's a smart guy. While there he is met by a demon and Eric didn't say he was a demon but we know he was a demon. Actually I guess he did eventually call himself a co-worker of
00:16:51
Speaker
One of the, not the overlords, I will not remember the name, the term for what Ghost Rider was, but- Infernal something. Right. Basically, this guy says, hey, you can get that revenge, and going against what Dorla said, but Hobbs and Clients to listen to options. But he said, you gotta move now, that he's gonna be weak for one night.
00:17:11
Speaker
And I am sure much to Eric's consternation, I don't like not following Eric's story hooks, but it was just, it wasn't going to go any other way in this particular case. Hob wasn't going to run off right now. This is too important. Yeah, there were bigger, bigger fish to fry, as they say. Right. So he tried to set a
00:17:33
Speaker
Postponement with this guy, I don't know if it will work. There was an interesting, he refused to handshake but did say my word is my bond and that was very much mentioned in the Discord. I hope that doesn't come back to bite up. I suppose we will find out. Man.
00:17:52
Speaker
Eric's smarter than me and tricky, and it really can cause me some consternation sometimes. I think I've said that twice now. But Hopper fuses and says, I'll meet you in 48 hours and we'll see what's next. Because I said no, Eric had to tip somebody else. And so he presents an opportunity to Trevor, to Rainard.
Reynard's Refusal and Conflict Avoidance
00:18:09
Speaker
Kath shows up with a...
00:18:13
Speaker
horribly disfigured body of Ace and asks for Reynard to fix him. And Reynard refuses. Because the last time it went so well. Right, last time it went terribly and dogged us for, well could still be dogging us, the ramp's not gone.
00:18:30
Speaker
But he passed the check that Kath didn't kill him for not helping, which is nice. And promises that he will talk to Elverin, not Elverin, Elderin and Elvenor and see if they can help. Now, whether he does or not, we'll find out. But he said that he would. Did you listen to these episodes again, Randy, the most recent one that came out? I did not. OK, I believe that we kind of end with just final preps and getting ready. I'm sure there's an areas button and I cannot remember it. I didn't finish the last one. I feel badly about that. I'm sorry.
00:19:00
Speaker
but we're gonna go on to some questions now from the Discord. If you would like to ask questions in our reviewed episodes, you may do so on our Discord.
Joining the Discord Community
00:19:10
Speaker
If you'd like to join our Discord, you can do that by finding us on Facebook or Instagram, or I believe we have a TikTok. We are on X.com, formerly Twitter, and those are all at the Geek Pantheon, and you will see a link to our Discord to join it. We have a lot of fun in there.
00:19:28
Speaker
There's a lot of talk about the shows, both Everon, Renewed, and Kyber Shards, but there's a ton of general TTRPG talk, D&D talk, video games, board games, lots of pictures of pets. It's a really fun time, as well as it's not just people talking at us, it's an entire community of people talking with each other about these great games that we play, and some great folks are in there.
00:19:48
Speaker
So we'd love for you to join and if you do, you can ask questions in the server. And so we're gonna jump into them. The first one is from Flame with three up finger point cosign emojis.
Erin's Mental State Discussion
00:19:58
Speaker
Do you guys think Erin is as stable as she seems or are you waiting for the other shoe to drop? I don't think Erin is as stable as she seems, but I think that she is.
00:20:09
Speaker
more malleable than a Lyra, if that makes sense. I think that, I don't think Erin seems particularly, no, she does seem stable, that's not fair to say. I don't, no. I'm also not waiting for the other shoe to drop because I do think that she listens, she will listen. I don't think her instability is an evil alignment or a...
00:20:32
Speaker
vengeful spirit or anything like that. I just think that she is not yet recovered from the trauma of being in solitary confinement for as long as she was. So yeah, I think there's going to be a lot to deal with through that, but I think that it is not a dangerous instability as much as is an unknown instability. Yeah. And something that I admit to do and I thought about doing it was a perception check on her. And because I feel like Milo has known her.
00:21:01
Speaker
for a long, long time before she went to the Dreadhold and just trying to get a read on her after she came out to see if I could
00:21:11
Speaker
you know, pinpoint a little more where she was at. And then I don't know something happened and I totally forgot to do it. So, but I'm not under the impression that something bad's
Milo's Future and Relationships
00:21:24
Speaker
going to happen. I think she's definitely a better choice for sure. Kevin asks a handful of questions. We'll go through first in the new regime. Where do you think the relationship between Aaron and Milo will land? Assuming Aaron knows who Milo really is.
00:21:38
Speaker
I mean, I think, I would like to think that Tarvel had filled her in and she's aware. Well, I know she did. I mean, I know he did fill her in on, you know, Vigo was the one who was behind the death of Satan. And I tend to think they probably had a decent relationship beforehand.
00:22:00
Speaker
So, I mean, I think depending on how things go for us, that things could go well for not just Milo, but for all of us, provided things go the way we want them to. I mean, I assume she would be grateful. So I could, I mean, I could see Milo rising in the clan if that was an option. I'm just not so sure how he would feel about it.
00:22:25
Speaker
Okay, and Kevin continues, when do either of you suspect Callaway will release the Overlord, and how do you think that fight or crisis will go for the crew and Sharn?
Threat of Overlord's Release
00:22:35
Speaker
I am not good for Sharn, or probably the crew. I have a theory that the Overlord is going to be better for Callaway as a threat than an action, because it will destroy a lot of things. It will be extremely bad. Yeah, it's something that he can just lord over people, lord over Sharn.
00:22:54
Speaker
I feel like Callaway's overlord thing is a Cold War tactic, more than a actionable threat. But also, I go Callaway and I know Eric, I don't know Callaway. I like to think I know some about Callaway. And I know Eric, and so I know it's not just a Cold War threat. How will it go for the crew in Sharn? Bad, man. I don't know how bad, but real bad. It'll be interesting if it goes down. I can't imagine it'll be good for the city.
00:23:21
Speaker
And depending on where, where, you know, yeah, definitely not, not a good day. I mean, in the cogs is bad in middle Dura is terrible because there's just more population there. You know, I don't know what it's going to be bad. Yeah. I would think, you know, in the upper parts of the city where the wealthy people are, because, you know, they won't want to lose what they have. So.
00:23:47
Speaker
Yeah, that's also where Callaway has all of his things, I would assume. Well, that's true, too. It'll be good listening. Kevin continues, Jeff, what do you think is going to happen with Hobb's revenge deal with the demon slash devil guy?
Past Actions and Their Impacts
00:24:00
Speaker
Man, I don't know. Hobb's going to, if he's able to, in 48 hours, go listen, hoping that just listening is enough if he chooses not to take the offer. That's always scary. Just be careful how you say thanks.
00:24:17
Speaker
Well, yeah, there's that. But also, I mean, Hobb was fooled and fooled and killed someone. And it's not sitting well with him. And if there's not a making it right, I don't know, he may seek more counsel with Dorla too. Probably will if there's time, but I'm sure I know what her advice will be, but he may still do that. Randy, when in the campaign have you felt Milo was most alive and in his
Milo's Mental Deterioration
00:24:42
Speaker
element? In the whole campaign, when was Milo's backflip moment?
00:24:46
Speaker
Oh, wow. Man, that's hard because I feel like the character has just steadily gone downhill mentally.
00:24:59
Speaker
I don't. Before, before Cagbottom's burned, when life was normal, Milo's enjoyed the few parties he's got to go to. That's, you know, a semblance of sanity to him. But, you know, he's just dealing with a lot. I mean,
00:25:17
Speaker
He's scared about his magic. He knows he needs to use it. You know, it's for the benefit of the party, but it could be such a detriment to the party. So, gosh, I just don't know if there is such a thing for him. I mean, if I may, I can think of times where you seem real jazzed to play. You had some huge illusions, like in some of our chase scenes. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's fun stuff. There's been a lot of those. Yeah. What about the death of Ignacio?
00:25:45
Speaker
Yeah, that was good. Even though I knew somebody's probably going to see something, Milo didn't care. It's time for him to go. If there are repercussions, there are repercussions. So be it. That was fun. I did enjoy that. There's been lots of things.
00:26:07
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, role play wise, it is fun to watch you at like the parties and the, uh, the Galas and whatever the dinner was, we went to a cap and saw his folks home. I can't remember. Unity. Yeah. Unity dinner. I think we've been to like two, at least two there, but those are always fun. What else? There was something else. I mean, and Randy enjoys it when things do go haywire. Sure. You know, when here comes Bella Shira.
00:26:37
Speaker
Milo hates it, but Randy's like, yeah, this is cool. What? Milo just lost it. All right.
00:26:44
Speaker
Was there, it's been so long, was there a Milo focused reduced? I don't really recall. I know that the unity dinner was reduced and that was fun for Milo. I know the fight night one. I remember the Reynard kidnap one. I don't remember the well enough. I don't remember. I want to say there was one. Those were always a good time to kind of let loose and build character.
00:27:07
Speaker
Yeah, but I don't remember. Oh, it was fun when, when we did Hobbs, when I got to play the, the guy that had the French name and the Spanish name together. I had fun doing that. Kind of a little rival for Hobb there. That was a lot of fun. And lastly, Kevin asks, if your character could get one question answered from Eric right now, what would it be?
Mysteries of the Ram
00:27:31
Speaker
to me or to you or to both of us? I think it's to both of us, but if you've got one, you can go first. One question I could get answered for my character from Eric. If my character could petition one of the gods for an answer, he would ask what the heck is inside the ram. Now.
00:27:53
Speaker
Cause I think Hob knows it's not the Ram. Like what did we bring to the earth? What did we do? You know, or what's, I think, I think it would, I think it would be that. Cause he is the one that, I mean, it was Hob insistence that revived the Ram and. Yeah. Well, the main, probably the main question.
00:28:11
Speaker
that I had is pretty much already been answered. It's about Milo getting rid of the magic without it affecting him. Like just go back to normal, but I believe Eric said, well then, you know, no magic. Like if you got
00:28:27
Speaker
hurt then nobody could heal you with magic you just so that all would go away that was probably the Milo's biggest deal because Milo doesn't if Milo could get rid of the magic with no repercussions after all is said and done and everything we hope to accomplish turns out Milo would be glad for it to be gone because you know Bella Shearer is keeping an eye on him and you know how is that gonna play out at the end
00:28:56
Speaker
Okay, yeah, I think that's great. I would love to hear the other guys. We may just have to ask that question. Maybe on, I might go- That's a good question. I might go through some of the questions, obviously not the whole campaign, that'd be wild, but these latest ones where it's just been one person and grab some of these really good questions for the big final review whenever we do that, that we're all together again.
00:29:16
Speaker
How about Eric, will Milo ever find happiness?
Milo's True Lineage Debate
00:29:21
Speaker
Are we gonna be okay? Liz would like to know, does Milo want to go public with his parentage when this all settles down? Or probably right at the end of the campaign? Fair. Or will he hold on to that info? Would he want it known or not want the hassle it may entail?
00:29:36
Speaker
Well, my answer to that question has to be wait and see. All right. I have thoughts on that. And honestly, I go back and forth.
00:29:47
Speaker
Part of me is like, Milo wants to tell somebody. And then part of me is like, the people that he would probably want to tell probably already know. So it would be does he just want them to know that he knows? So I don't know. Yeah, I assume Aaron knows and I don't even know who else is in that generation of the family, right? Tarvel may know. I bet once Satan's wife, I would imagine she might know. Alira maybe.
00:30:14
Speaker
Maybe. So. You're older than Alira though, right? So Alira probably wouldn't know if they're keeping it a secret. Yeah, that's true. Unless she had found out, but we never. Yeah. I wonder if Vigo knew, and that was part of his, you know, in addition to everything else that was going on. I can't imagine anybody younger than Milo would have known. They did a really good job of sweeping it under the rug and probably never brought it up again. But anyway, older than Milo might. Yeah. Wouldn't be my guess. And you're the oldest, Satan's oldest child, right? Like it's pre his wife, pre Alira. Yes. Yeah.
00:30:44
Speaker
That's the way I understood it anyway. Yeah, that's the way I picked up on it. Like they were young, that was the whole thing. And then our last question for this episode is from Flame again.
Future of NPCs: Kath and Sawland
00:30:54
Speaker
Flame wants to know, what upcoming scene are you most hoping to see? It could be a confrontation, conversation, epilogue, et cetera. That's hard, Jeff. Yeah, I'll say this. One thing that I definitely want to see what happens, and I don't know where it will be, pardon me. It's two NPCs, so likely Eric explaining an epilogue.
00:31:13
Speaker
I'm so sorry. It's two NPCs, so it will likely be Eric explaining in an epilogue, but I got to know where Catherine saw the land. Yeah, that's, I was thinking that too. You know, it's funny. I'm way more concerned about some NPCs than my own character, but I just have this internal zen feeling that Hob will either be okay or die. Like that's what Hob's going to do. He's going to make do or die.
00:31:36
Speaker
and in a fight. And so I'm not as concerned. I would love to see Eris and Olive after, you know, Eris has made it clear that she plans on leaving. I'd love to see a down the road epilogue scene of Eris and Olive being happy and not in danger.
00:31:51
Speaker
Although with Cinder there, who knows? Yeah, I would like to see a scene where we are all happy. Yeah, I would like a scene where there's closure for Milo. Perhaps a scene with Bella Shearer would be just because I think it would be good. Yes, I would like to see Milo find a resolution there. I mean, obviously any big ending set pieces are going to be fun, but we don't know what they're going to be. So I don't want to say I can't wait to fight the X because I don't know what the X is yet. Right.
00:32:21
Speaker
or confront the X, but obviously it'll be fun. But yeah, I guess I don't really have one for Hob and maybe that's wild to people, but I have a very, I don't know, peaceful feeling about Hob's future as long as he survives the events of this
00:32:42
Speaker
season of his life, I guess. Yeah, so you don't really have a future thought for him. Stay with the client, go out on his own. It's not so much that. Work for Milo at Keg Bottoms.
00:32:55
Speaker
It's less not having a thought about his future. I wanna save that for the show. It's more of an ideal scene to see or confrontation to be in or conversation to have for him. And I just don't, I don't know. I've got a very, Hob, Hob will be okay. I'm very, I'm a little precious about that, I think actually, maybe. I've grown very attached. Dex was an idiot and a Spitfire and was gonna get himself in trouble all the time. Hob is measured and,
00:33:22
Speaker
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what else to say about it other than that. Yeah, I like I like all of our characters. I think it was a good mix. We've had a real good mix. I just sometimes I prefer not to play intelligent characters because I don't feel that I do them justice. I just really don't like I don't you know, Milo's super smart, but Milo doesn't act super smart. I tend to play it off as
00:33:50
Speaker
because of all the crap he's been through, that he doesn't stop and think sometimes anymore like he might have. Eric does occasionally say, Milo, you're one of the smartest people in shard. And we go, yeah. Yeah, exactly. Randy is quite aware of that. He's going through a difficult time. That's what I attribute it to, not to the lack of my role playing of ability with intelligent people.
00:34:13
Speaker
Right. Intelligence and like ability to cope are not necessarily related. So Milo's having a rough time. Okay. I, this was a shorter one, three episodes to recap, one guest and.
00:34:27
Speaker
But we're gonna call it here for this episode. Thank you all so much for listening. We will be back next Friday with another actual play episode and things are kicking off, y'all. Yes, they are. It feels, things are kicking off. And so we will catch you next week with the whole crew in Sharn. Until then, I have been Jeff. And I have been Randy and we did that thing.
00:35:14
Speaker
Thanks a lot. Hope you guys have a great weekend if you listen to this on Friday.
