Shinigami forgiveness. Part of the path to forgiveness might include finding a person worth saving, instead of stamping “completed” and stating “no further comments”. It might be a test to see if the reapers will ever find value in the life of someone else.

Exactly... as I've suggested before on my blog several times, over the years. (Please click my tags. I'll add this to my Tagging Masterpost, eventually, too.)

Of course, we'll never know for certain... unless Yana-san explicitly makes it canon.

Drunk watching supernatural tonight methinks. Perhaps. Sometimes watching spn takes a lot effort.

Saturday Six (Stuff)

Time at this first market is dragging. But at least I've got one appointment with a repeat customer out if it.(•̀⌄•́)

Tomato plants, strawberry plants, squash, and cucumber plants have been aquired.♡(•ི̛ᴗ•̛)ྀ

Even when you tell kids not to touch, they still do. Ugh(¬д¬。)

My patio is up and there are flower pots out!♡*(ू•‧̫•ू⑅)♡⋆*ೃ:.✧

One good thing about the market this morning - it's not too hot, and there's a nice breeze, but not too wimdy.ヾ(◍’౪`◍)ﾉﾞ♡

Even though it was an afterthought we were invited to a BBQ this evening. Idk if we'll go. Depends on how I feel after a nap. (.﹒︣︿﹒︣.)

Across the hall, his gaze is ever searching. They shouldn't sear the way they do, those eyes of his, as steady as a storm at sea, as lost. As if he thought that this-- that this was over.

Lost Mine & Abyss Session 8 - Your Wizard Is In Another Castle

-The party continues along the Triboar Trail with their new member, the Neverwinter Wood growing taller around them.

-Looking at their map, Zoream notes with relief that their trail takes them away from Thundertree. Vierna, suspicions forming, again questions Zoream about what exactly happened there. Zoream answers that he was young and doesn't remember much, but that one day demons appeared in his village. He had ran for help, but by the time he came back it was mostly gone. Sen listens intently.

-Night falls after a long day of travel, and the party decides to stop and make camp for the night before heading deeper into the looming Neverwinter Wood. Sen and Zoream step away deeper into the Wood to collect firewood, Vierna noting that her new sword strangely stops glowing until they return.

-Sen takes out the owlbear meat for the party to eat, with Zoream supplying bread. The party shares in cooked owlbear sandwiches, except for Sen who eats it raw like an animal. "It's a tiefling thing," he says.

-Zoream and Dakwert share stories about the people they're connected to, while Vierna questions Sen.

-The rest of the party rests while Sid and Vierna take watch, the dragonborn scaring away a wolf from their camp. Dakwert takes the next watch, anxiously watching as vultures big enough to carry the small gnome away circle over the forest ahead.

-Day arrives, and the party returns to the cart and sets off down the trail once more. Their surroundings darken as the canopy covers the sky, and a fog thickens around them as they continue. The trail opens up to the remains of a broken down village reclaimed by nature.

-The party continues forth carefully. One building catches their eye, a hut in the middle with a large tree growing through it. A faint glow is seen between the roots and wall remains, concealing a pile of treasures.

-Sen strongly warns them away, as a sharp cold comes over the investigating Zoream and Dakwert. Looking back after pulling the others down the trail, Sen feels a painful chill as a ghostly figure watches them leave.

-Investigating their surroundings, the party finds the trail Sildar mentioned. The ominous fog recedes as they leave the town remains behind, the creepy energy instead provided by the looming Netherese ruins.

-As they approach the entrance to the structure, they can see three forms cocooned in webs- one of which starts struggling and calling for help as they approach. Vierna backs away from the sight, calling to burn the webs. Sen removes the webs around his face to reveal one of the Redbrands.

-The Redbrand looks to his saviors, recognizing Sid and Dakwert as the "new recruits." He begs them to free him, saying that he doesn't know what happened, but that the boss disappeared, and then he was captured by spiders and questioned. He begs that he doesn't known anything, that he just wants to get back to the hideout, man.

-He says he was interrogated by a hooded figure, that he kept being asked where a "Nezznar" was, that he's never heard the name before. He looks at Vierna in fear, asking if she is working with him, that the one who took the boss was another drow. He once again asks them to let him leave, that the spiders and his captor are still here.

-The party sets him free and pays him for his information. He tells them that someone came into their hideout pretending to be the boss, and sent them against the real one. They met up with the true Glassstaff, but then he was teleported away by a dark elf. He guesses that might have been Glassstaff's boss who they don't know much of, but the poor fool is too shaken to remember much.

-Dakwert, on high alert as the smallest of the group, notices a movement from above as three giant spiders descend on the party. Roll initiative!

-The spiders attempt to restrain the party with webs, then dropping onto them when that fails.

-Zoream struggles to hold the giant spider back, casting Shocking Grasp upon it. The spider crackles with lightning, then falls dead on top of the frightened orc.

-One of the other spiders goes to restrain Vierna, this time succeeding, the fighter trapped in webs on the ground.

-A shrouded figure steps out of the ruins and calls for combat to stop. The figure laments the loss of his favorite spider, lifting it off the orc and cradling it in his arms. The remaining spiders move to guard the entrance of the trail.

-He questions the party on what they are doing here, messing with his plans and freeing his prisoners. The Redbrand cowers in place.

-He approaches the restrained Vierna, asking why she is here. She asks the same of him, to which he responds that he is tracking down a runaway- his cousin, playing with surfacers. She introduces herself as a noble warrior of House Duskryn, the figure responding that he is of House Mizzrym. He helps her out of the webs and to her feet, saying that they can help each other.

-He again questions the party on their presence. Zoream answers, telling him that they are searching for a wizard. The figure responds that is his goal as well. Zoream asks him if his wizard's name is Iarno- He answers that no, it is Nezznar Mizzrym. He says that Nezznar keeps the company of a human wizard, however.

-Zoream shows him the note from the Black Spider. The figure responds that it does sound like him to use an uncreative name like that for a dark elf.

-The figure tells Vierna that she travels with entertaining surfacers. The two bond in ominous conversation of the party's weaknesses. At the party's rebuttal, he responds that he could defeat them all singlehandedly, but that he has a better use for them in their shared goal.

-He introduces himself as Valark Mizzrym, offering his help. He says it is his first time on the surface, and that with their help his mission can be completed quickly.

-Zoream tells him of how they ended up in Phandalin and the capture of their dwarven employer, how the Black Spider sent out the order. He is intrigued at this, and though he doesn't know where Cragmaw Castle is, he says "one of the others" might. Valark is impressed at their tale of their infiltration of the Redbrands, growing some respect for the surfacers.

-He offers something to help them both- the banshee guarding the ruined village, while having wealth for the party, is also known to answer any question of one who defeats her. He hopes to find the location of his wizard quarry- and in the process, theirs.

-Sen, having had clashes with the banshee before, jumps at an opportunity to finally get his hands on that treasure. Dakwert shows a strong interest in it as well. He says she is very protective of her treasure, and any approach made to it will draw her out- one of them can be used as bait.

-Valark, commanding his spiders to move away from the trail, begins to lead the party back towards the ruined village, and there our session ends!

Turns out I have very little patience for rewatching late season supernatural. What's bothering me most right now is the complete lack of subtle storytelling. Instead of relying on the acting or setting details or symbolism to show me stuff, the show is bombarded with flashback scenes and awkward lines that explain the plot.
