    I love this. The only thing it’s missing is my favorite line when everyone else was hesitating to dig, and Caleb very dryly says ‘I’m going to Hell anyway.”

      Fully agree. This gave me chills. And there's no chance of overdramatizing - this was the culmination of all of Taliesin's story of Molly suddenly twisted into Matt's story of Lucien. It's a beautiful and important point in the creation of one full, amazing story from two skilled storytellers - now expertly animated by a third. Your pacing, the shots & framing, the music choice - all a wonderful interpretation of the spoken story. Well done.

      And they have atleast 2 more episodes to go until they will rekill Lucien.
      Next campaign they better properly incinerate and lay to rest fallen PC's.

    Last Chance..... K then Sport....
    The roller coaster that was Losing Mollymauk, gaining Caudeucus, Finding out Molly had come back to life, Tracking him down and finding out Molly was INDEED dead or at the very least buried in this new persons subconscious as Molly's body was being inhabited by a malicious, evil, AWFUL soul named Lucien,...
    ... Then FINDING out that Lucien was the BBEG attempting to become what amounts to a sociopathic god of destruction using the forgotten and banished fire-power of the Somnovum, a radically Malevolent Mageocracy of batshit crazy and insanely powerful Zealots to rip down and build up a world in Luciens image using Exandria as the canvas.... WAS FUCKING LIKE WUT M8?!!!!!!
    THEN...
    FUCKING THEN.....!
    ... Battling lucien over the span of no less than twenty fucking episodes ranging from failed diplomacy, a clumsy Cat and Mouse arc which swapped between pursuit and flight as the wind shifted, to a Three stage encounter that killed multiple members of the Mighty Nein, Only JUST skating by with insane death saves and clutch revivifies... ALL the while ***LOSES MY GODDAMNED MIND AT THIS POINT***
    .... ALL... THE FUCKIN' While... the mighty nein is trying to reason with the fragment of Luciens soul (Via begging, pleading, fists, fireballs, and the kitchen fucking sink) that houses their lost friend and ninth member of the Mighty Nein, Mollymauk Tealeaf...
    The battle is THEN WON... and as luciens corpse lays dead on the fleshy ground of Cronenberg-Nightmare-fuel-Cognoza, afloat in the astral sea, They Try and fail a revivify...
    ONLY THEN, Caudeucus 'MOTHERFUCKIN' No-YaDONT-Not Today'- CLAY pulls out a a DIVINE INTERVENTION ROLL that puckered the entire critter communities collective butthole (a 2 on a 100 sided Dice which had a 5% chance of working!)... and THEY RESSURECT MOLLYMAUK!!!!
    Which get this... GET...THIS....
    Cadecus is played by Taliesin. Taliesin.... Is the Player who PREVIOUSLY played Mollymauk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    This motherfucker...
    Cadeucus
    'No'yaDon't,Not'Today'
    Mother
    FUCKING
    CLAYYYYY.....
    ... around 100 episodes after the ninth member of the nein laid slain, used his grave cleric to bring his OLD character BACK to FUCKING life.....
    I FEEL LIKE IM ON COCAINE.... That's how fucking WILD this show is...
    And if you haven't seen it or read this without catching up, I warned you BUT, it is STILL worth watching because I don't think ANYTHING could blunt the edge of this wild ride.
    If the cast of anyone from Critrole sees this... THANK YOU FOR THIS...
    And to the artist who made this amazing animatic, i thank you as well.... It's an absolutely wonderful portrayal of the beginning of the Lucien arc, and I hope when they inevitably animate this scene, that they reach out and get permission to use this animatic as a storyboard because it's fucking perfect!
    *breathes heavily* holy shit I need to lay down... this week was a goddamned RIDE....

Also from the Archfey himself so to be taken with a grain of salt but makes sense "Do you think gods are the only beings who can grant fantastic power look at your half-orc friend" I think that line while mostly to establish where power comes from also establish why she doesnt need to branch off cause when she's leveling up she's just learning to get better with the powers she was gifted
