Ok but what if the glamour springs incident was at ravens roost

Taako doesn’t know what happened. 

He knows that something went wrong. He knows that he’s been in this windowless room for hours, arms secured behind him by a rope on a hard wooden chair. He knows that whatever comes next, he isn’t going to like it. 

He shifts in his chair. It’s not a comfortable feeling, to be at such a disadvantage.

A woman enters the room. She’s pretty, Taako observes, and she’s angry. She’d probably rather punch him than ask questions, but she seems to have questions first.

She asks him about Kalen. He doesn’t know a Kalen. It’s not the answer she wants to hear.

So what happened out there, she asks. Taako plays dumb; it’s worked before. But he just watched an entire crowd of people begin to collapse in front of him, and his voice shakes.

He takes a deep breath. Don’t think about it, he tells himself. Don’t think about it. Hold out a little longer. Get out of this room first.

I don’t know.

Oh, I think you do.

I really don’t.

She slams a hand on the table, and Taako flinches. People are dead. There are families in mourning right outside that door, chef, so what do you propose I tell them?

Taako isn’t surprised. He’s in shock, he’s shaking and there’s a ringing in his ears, but he isn’t surprised. He knew when they started to collapse, when he got dragged away and locked in this room. He knew, and it doesn’t make the confirmation any easier.

The woman is still talking to him, but he takes a few seconds to push past the shock and think. Take stock. Assess. He doesn’t have time to wait until after he’s out of the room. Ten seconds to figure out a few key facts about his life as it currently stands.

One, the show is gone. Done. He may as well burn the stagecoach to the ground. None of his work means anything in the light what just happened.

Two, he knows why. It had to be the elderberries; he should have double-checked him. He always double-checks berries and fiddly ingredients like that when he uses magic on them, his transmutation just isn’t solid enough for anything less. He can’t remember if he checked them. How could he forget to check?

Three, he’s killed people. It shouldn’t be the last item on this list, and somewhere in the back of his head he’s sneering at himself because even he should have known better than to expect anything better from the pragmatist. He knows who he is, now, as a person: nothing good. Incompetent at best. People are dead.

She asks again: What happened?

And he says: It must have been the elderberries. 

She frowns. She tells him that his audience was poisoned with arsenic.

It takes Taako approximately two days to start designing his outfits around the umbrastaff, because honestly, it��s not just an arcane focus, it’s an accessory and he’s got an image to maintain. It’s not quite his usual aesthetic, but he makes it work.

This absolutely kills Lucretia, because of course in the process he unwittingly keeps recreating choice Lup Looks.

can we just talk about the character development in arms outstretched for a second?

first there’s merle, the failed cleric and deadbeat dad, who is canonically jealous of every competent person gets close to his team. who sees his two boys leave him - one possessed, one unconscious. but merle doesn’t give up, because he knows he can save them. he has faith in himself, that he can get them back. he summons up a sixth level spell - which was, i think, the highest spell slot he had at the time - and pulls both magnus and taako back from death. 

then magnus, the steadfast warrior, who has lived for love so many times and had it ripped away from him just as often. he’s dying, and he knows that if he dies he’ll get to see julia, and that’s all he’s ever wanted for years - to be reunited with his beloved wife. but he doesn’t go quietly. he says i want to get back to my body, i have to help my friends, and with the family he’s found in merle and taako, decides to live. 

and taako. taako, who doesn’t even have a heart. he looks at a clearly-possessed magnus, a terrified merle, and throws his soul out of his body. not only is he not sure whether he’ll be able to get magnus back, but there is no guarantee that he’ll have a body to return to - edward and lydia could easily destroy it while he’s gone. and then he’d be dead, just like magnus may well be. but he does it anyway. he puts himself in danger on the slight chance he can save magnus. even though he professes to trust no one, even though he doesn’t remember his own heart, he makes a desperate grab for the person he’s come to call a friend. 

arms outstretched really was a defining moment of this podcast. not only did it set the tone for the finale - this is the ending you earned - but it showed how our boys react in dire situations. when things look bleakest, they turn to each other.

If you play The Adventure Zone episode 47 at exactly 11:29:50 on New Years Eve, at midnight Istus will tell you “you’re going to be amazing”.

Start 2018 right!!!

[junebug-roswell]

Istus is smiling because she knows that whatever you’re going through will pass. She sees it in her tapestry, she sees it in you, she sees that you will grow stronger and kinder and surround yourself with those who truly care about you.
