I'm also very fond of how Matt handles Fjord's third question to the Wildmother. Fjord asks, "Would you please do something or show me something or intervene or take agency in my life and show me how best to move towards achieving that sort of change?" And Matt (speaking through Caduceus, since it's his Commune spell) says, "You understand the answer, as you are a man of faith, to know that the answer is to require faith."

Comparative to the engagement with the divine in c3 that is very often focused on a "what have the gods ever done for me?" sort of energy, this interaction specifically speaks to the fact that in order for a god to take particular interest in your life, you have to live a life of faith. Caduceus is right in telling Fjord that, "Eventually, one day, somebody will pray for a miracle [...] and that miracle will be answered because you showed up. That's how it works. That's what a champion is." It's about living that faith, actively, resolutely, and folding that ideology into your life. Living those ideals and doing those good works with intentionality is how you live a life of faith, is how a god would even know to take notice and intervene. It's about doing and the ideology that drives you to action.

Twelve things I noted about CR2E75 “Rime and Reason” and the Talks Machina about it :

Mica, after Sam in the ad presented fake items that "will be included in the store - nope not really" including a silver cock square ring : "Can I go home now ?"

Liam is not there and unable to connect, so Marisha's piloting Caleb, and attempting to take the accent (she just does an hilarious and bad rendition of a Northern European accent - like... 'the guy who owns the sauna in Frozen' bad). "Matt is horrified", says Mica, who hasn't watched Campaign 1 and didn't know Marisha's infamous "dwarven accent". I'm so happy. And throughout the episode, Sam just takes great pleasure to annoy Marisha as she's playing Caleb. A true friend.

Marisha : "Oh yeah, before going to sleep, Liam has like eight things he wants to do." Matt, lightly sarcastic : "Of course he does. What is it ?"

Oh, I LOVED Caduceus and Fjord's talk. Especially this phrase : "What do you think this is? All of us, me, here, you, here, these people... this is intervention. Eventually, some day, somebody will pray for a miracle, pray for something to save them, to whatever gods are nearby, and that prayer will be answered because you'll show up. That's how it works. That's what a champion is." Also I love how Taliesin and Matt siltently communicated with their eyes while Caduceus was asking the Wildmother ; I think they have similar ideas on faith and that helps.

They really did it. They put together a "Best-off of the critters' insults thrown at Brian during Travis Willingham's Yeehaw Game Ranch". Amazing. And it made me want to watch the second season in one go, but I will wait further to see all of it in 2 days like I did last time.

Marisha, as Caleb, not even trying the accent anymore : "I can also send in my shitty cat, Frumpkin, that fucking fails at everything." Nott : "Caleb, that's your cat !" Marisha, as Caleb, trying and failing the accent : " Oh, sorry... love him so much..."

ANCIENT WHITE DRAGON ? oh no. They're fucked !! But I love dragons so much, and I really miss them, especially with Matt making them fucking terrifying. The start of the Chroma Conclave arc was one of the best scenes that ever happened.

They really made some good plans this episode. First with the yetis, and now with the dragon. It went well first, too ! Despite the dragon seizing the spider queen and the mithril, the dragon had breathed on it, and so the mithril changed or started to. Also the dragon did not see any of them and no one was hurt, that's a victory. The second part was more difficult, but I think they were very clever.

I just love that from the POV of the guys... they're chilling, down in the tunnel, in the dome... while the ladies of the Chaos Crew and Reani are up there on a stealth missions... and suddenly they hear a noise ! Are those the bottle rockets that Beau bought in Hupperdook so long ago ? It sure is ! OH NO FUCK THE OWL AND BEAU AND THE DRAGON

I think in a weird way it was "good" that Liam wasn't there - though I love him, he is a man of action, even with Caleb being support, and I'm not sure Caleb would have stayed in the dome if Liam had played him. But Marisha did (also just the fact that she had to play 2 characters facilitated her choice to put Caleb in the dome, I think). And thank god for that, because otherwise, they were dead.

This episode of Talks is wonderful, because of the very antagonistic way that Mica is goign after Brian's job. I love their dynamic !

Oh, so Marisha the deductive genius once again was right, Gelidon was a dragon scorned !! By none other than Vorugal !!

Has anyone been keeping track of all the pets Beau has asked her dad for?

I’ve heard rat, snake, owl, bat as of episode 75

How to Face an Ancient White Dragon by The Mighty Nein

Caduceus: *throws seven platinum at it*

[fjord-mustang]

Travis: Why, why are we doing this?! Level nine!

Taliesin: Because someone had a bad breakup.

[thicc-anxieties]

Spare level up? Spare level up please ?

I love Reani and her 8 bats!  When they called her a Disney Princess I just HAD to draw her!  She’s way too pure for the mighty nein, but it’ll be fine! Pose courtesy of @senshistock

I’m torn between wanting Liam on the show tonight and wanting Marisha to continue to do Caleb’s accent

[revvethasmythh]

also love caduceus referring the prime deities as "the big ideas." one dedicates their faith to an IDEA, and it can big or it can be small or it can be something you've never even heard of (like the Traveler), but they're all pieces of ideology. things to believe in. specific ideals that direct the way you live your life

[justalittlebluetiefling]

And Caduceus panic-throwing 7 platinum out of the dome as an apology for disturbing the dragon.

[epicureanstyle]

The more I listen to Fjord talk about gods, the more I hope Caleb tricks him into learning wizardry. The guy doesn’t seem built for faith.

[hiccup-is-left-handed]

this episode took five years off my life

[irregulargnoll]

So on one hand it seems like the Nein now have a possible dragon stalker but also Caduceus just tipped the dragon they stole from
