Greygold knows near absolutely nothing about the founder of the city: owns a gate. hangs out with a dragon. has merry-as-all-hell-sounding magic-mouth statues. Wyll's a big fan.
Maybe Greygold is going out of their way to rib a centuries-old statue because they once heard a wise thought-piece along the lines of 'Art that conceals reveals more about the concealer than how they are trying to portray themself as'...
OR.
Greygold just thought that Balduran's hat looked really really silly.
When the league finds out that Captain Marvel is a kid, why doesn't Billy just, do a bit of a half lie?
Oh yeah technically I (Marvel) came into being like 3 years ago at the rock of eternity, I usually use this form to go around as a human.
He doesn't mention that the 10 to 12 year old is his real form, and doesn't correct the league when they assume that Marvel came into being a full adult, not unlike Athena. And wait, didn't Zeus have shapeshifting abilities? Hm....
Billy is honestly very shocked that this is somehow working?? The league thinks he's an adult still, just uses younger form to try and figure out how humans work and have a childhood??
Do you have a patreon? I’d love to support you on there if you do!
Nope but ty! Maybe when the webcomic finally starts up it'll be something I'll do for early updates and extra stuff. I have a bunch of abandoned versions of scenes and episodes (which is why I keep delaying lol..) so there'd be a decent amount to post haha
I kinda feel like the "how's the rat diet going" thing is Wyll "17 charisma" Ravengard thoroughly putting his foot in his mouth. And I love that. He does not understand the full gravity of what he's joking about. Later down the road he's gonna remember that and cringe so damn hard.
It is WILD to me that there were so many steps almost not taken that led to that final scene with Alphonse
First, Lou debated blowing up the trebuchet, but decided that would be awkward
Then, Pinocchio considers stopping to attack Alphonse himself but gets yelled at by the party because Alphonse is literally surrounded by enemies and he would be surrendering double moment to hurt someone doomed for death.
THEN Brennan decided to allow Pinocchio lighting a firework and giving it to Cricket as an object interaction
Pib gives Alphonse the help action and he fails his save. At FIRST, Pinocchio admits he was going to use his Master of Destiny reaction to MAKE him fail so he’s all good. But FINALLY upon hearing Pib say Alphonse is the only person from his town who’s still alive, Pinocchio feels bad and uses the ability help save Alphonse and he fucking rolls a Nat 20
And that Nat 20, guys gals and non-binary pals, is what allows a Cricket aiming a firecracker at a rocket to kill many tiny people and break a curse, turning a mule back into a prince
Love when the dice tell a story. And that story is 'not even the power of friendship can save you now'
Sure Emps looked pretty cool intervening, but the cold-shouldering YEET caused some concerns. Squid buddy probably was handling the failed nat 20 worse than Greygold. Like perhaps in a way that indicated the Emperor didn't have a plan B prepared for that.
Or maybe Emps did have a Back-up plan involving every alphabet of every language but the Netherbrain's puppetry has got 'em second-guessing and scrapping it all in a very 'SHIT. FUCK. BALLS.' way
