I got my Whitestone Courage Whiskey today and the book that comes with it is great!

However, Laura's answer to "What would your characters tell you about Courage?" made me more than a little emotional so I shall share it here under the cut.

I apologize for my phone camera.

i hate driving. here are the laws! if you break them there will be consequences! except youre also expected to break the law just a little bit. people will get mad at you if you dont. you dont have right of way but the person who does is waving you forward for some reason. here's the speed limit! it's not the speed limit, the actual speed limit is that plus ~5-10. the light is green but you're in the turning lane. can you go? should you have gone just then? the person behind you is honking at you. there's a weird noise coming from your engine; if you try to do the right thing and get it checked out, will you get scammed? you are driving a 1-2 ton metal machine rocketing at speeds unknown to humankind for most of history. around a million people die in car accidents every year; that's about one person every thirty seconds. if you take that seriously and try to drive safely then people get mad at you.

THIS. This. Oh my god. Did we lose our brains somewhere. Did the silly little part of our brain that craves socialisation decide “talking” to a bot counts as a BETTER source than Wikipedia??? ANYONE CAN GIVE GENERATIVE AI THE WRONG ANSWERS JUST LIKE WIKIPEDIA CAN BE EDITED BY ANYONE!!!!! Unreliable sources people!!! Ugh.

[rxin1314]

this is what happened right

oh my favorite trope? two people who go through something so unique and agonizing and entirely beyond words that they have no choice but to create a bond that transcends all other types of love, thus acting as the sole point of understanding for the other person in a world that cannot fathom what they’ve been through

imagining an angst au where imogen dies and one of the non-magic users keeps the necklace with some of her spells in it.

you didn't hold my hand when you say that.

one lightning bolt spell for ashton to hit through their spell-splitting crystal hammer, bc they never got around to trying that with her. a sending spell for orym so he doesn't need to go through the trouble of writing anything down, he'd just have to get someone else to count for him. a fly spell for chetney bc she actually did enjoy seeing their dogfights, hopefully in a sky just as peaceful. and one telepathic bond spell that she took over after fcg's passing, that they'll take over after hers. so they can hear each other in their heads like imogen used to.

okay wtf did they put in thunderbolts* that made me drown in tears because holy fuck. that was a spiritually healing experience.

[rxin1314]

the fact that imogen never shy away from being associated with her mother, declaring she's temult in front of the volition and taking ludinus' insult about her bloodline being duplicitous head on. the way imogen never fails to put importance to her ties with liliana because she couldn't forget how, this figure she never really understood or have met or have known, was her saviour for the longest of time.

so when imogen sees highbearer vord broken down and the other faithfuls at loss over the disappearances of their gods, she sees the likeness. lets go of that association and that surname to meet grieving worshippers at eye level and say.

that it's okay to be just you. without the comfort that had defined your entire life, but not yourself. that we'll get to feel how it's like to grow and live without our mothers, gods and saviours for just a while.

When a mage is badly injured, magic sometimes "fills in the gaps"—growing an arcane hand or leg. You suffered brain damage that would have killed most. Magic filled in your mind.

Campaign 3 At A Glance

Ever wonder what the top spell cast during Campaign 3 was? What about who rolled the most nat 20s, how many healing potions got used, or how long Bells Hells were adventuring for? At long last, we are thrilled to share ~C3 At A Glance!~

Before we get started: all of this data is available at omenarchive.com/c3, and there’s MUCH more—each of these categories is linked to a page with detailed breakdowns, rankings, time stamps, transcript excerpts, descriptions, and the like. For now, though, we wanted to give you a basic tour of what’s new. 

(This is a long one—click below to keep reading!)

Let’s start with time. C3 took place over 1,205 real-world days, mapping to a round 100 days in-game: from 17 Brussendar to 24 Quen’pillar of 843 PD (dates confirmed by CR). That’s a little over 14 weeks, or three months. 

The campaign ran 506 hours, 36 minutes, and 9 seconds long. The average episode was 4:11:12 long, with an average gameplay length of 3:46:50. Our total gameplay time spent with Bells Hells was 421:43:21, which is about 17.57 days. 

The top episode for critical successes was C3E120, with 18 PC nat 20s, and the top-critting PC was Orym, with 89. All in all, Bells Hells rolled 519 natural 20s... and 336 natural 1s, with Orym again taking the lead at 57. 

The party cast 1862 spells and 1162 cantrips, with the favorite spells being Sending, Cure Wounds, and Detect Thoughts, and the favorite cantrips being Guidance, Druidcraft, and Prestidigitation. The top caster was Imogen with 667 spells/cantrips followed by FCG with 574. 

We’ve got every spell logged, which means lists of top spells/cantrips by caster! Yes, even Ashton (thanks to Pass Without Trace). There’s too much to summarize, so see below for details—it's worth a look. And visit each individual character’s page for their full list. (Chetney / Laudna / Dorian / FCG / Braius / Fearne / Imogen / Orym / Ashton)

Time for some battle stats! First, it’s worth noting that we’ve divided up the data to clarify which stats refer only to Bells Hells, which include guests, and which are for the campaign as a whole. In some cases, we’ve listed both overall rankings and BH-exclusive rankings. 

Our top damage dealers for C3 were Imogen (5271 HP), Orym (4321), and Ashton (4081). The top BH episodes by damage dealt were C3E120 (3231 HP), C3E117 (936) and C3E91 (904). Collectively, BH + guests dealt 26493 HP of damage. 

That damage added up to 225 kills by BH + guests, with the top killers being Ashton (38), Imogen (37.33), and FCG (31.5). Matt asked “How do you want to do this?” for 88 of those kills.  

As for damage taken, Ashton and Orym lead the pack with 2651 HP and 2440 HP. The top BH episodes by damage taken were C3E120 (1239 HP), C3E091 (950), and C3E80 (614). In total, the party (including guests) took 16991 HP of damage. 

Over the course of the campaign, 34 healing potions were used, 243 HP of suffering were transferred, and PCs gave out 5862 HP of healing. The top healers were FCG (1451 HP), Trist (770), Deanna (711), Dorian (706), and Fearne (443).  

Of course, the campaign wasn’t without casualties. There were 61 KOs during Campaign 3, with Orym knocked out most often (10 times) followed by Ashton and Fearne (9 times each). C3E033 and C3E091, the two Otohan fights, led in PC KOs, with 9 and 8 respectively. 

There were 10 PC deaths, 3 of which were permanent. Interestingly, Ashton is the only PC to have died more than once (neither time in combat!), and Imogen and Dorian are the only founding members of BH never to have died at all. 

Now, here comes the fun stuff! They say the dice tell a story, but numbers do too.  

We’ve collected data—lots and lots of it—on things like which maneuvers Orym used most often (Goading Attack, 66 times, and Bait and Switch, 41 times), how many times Imogen and FCG read minds (67 and 24 respectively), and how many times Laudna used her Form of Dread (41). 

We’ve also got detailed data on uses of Sending (159, with 91 by Imogen) and Druidcraft (53, 50 by Orym), instances of Fearne’s Wild Shape (58, 28 of which turned her into animals like a slow loris and a giant shoebill), and Ashton’s rages (gravity was the most frequent type).  

Plus, of course, kisses, of which there were a heartwarming 81. 

We highly recommend clicking through to the main pages for each of these data types, as there’s a LOT more than meets the eye. 

During the course of the campaign, Chetney carved 42 items, Laudna called people capable 29 times (26 of them were Imogen), Dorian used Bardic Inspiration 21 times, Imogen had 17 dreams, and FCG and those who loved him said “smiley day” 88 times. 

FCG also baked 34 items and made and/or inspired 68 mentions of their flesh tongue, as well as 35 references to the planet being flat. Sorry, Matt. 

Braius painted 7 portraits (we have time stamps!), Imogen’s eyes flashed 31 times (we have descriptions!), and Fearne successfully stole 30 items (she probably still has most of those!).  

She also referred to herself by eight titles, our favorite of which is Professor Princess Fearne Calloway, Fey Scion of the Ancient Flame. 

As for Ashton, they said “fuck” a total of 1401 times, plus 329 more in Taliesin’s character narration. We’ve got a list of them all. 

The Quintessence Array was used ten times, on eight objects and two people. Delilah Briarwood was mentioned 152 times, and the Matron of Ravens 211 times. (Those are both subjective numbers—check out our charts for detailed lists of occurrences.) 

1531 items were exchanged, and the episode with the most items exchanged was C3E012 Make it Fashion, with 67 items. 

There were 89 whispers, Sam wore 22 different shirts with the cast’s faces on them, Marisha waved 14 fans, and Matt made 81 beautiful battle maps.  

We saw 42 beloved PCs, all of whose first and last scenes are catalogued here. 

Last but not least, Matt facepalmed a grand total of 343 times, with the most facepalmworthy episode being C3E032. We don’t know about you, but we think it’s time for a full rewatch. Is it Thursday yet?
