Well that's pretty dumb.
I guess I'll have to wait until Monday night to catch up again.
I really want them to go back to the old continents. Even if it was for a short gathering mission. Would be so much fun.
I heard it meant "worthy" so probably a reference to playing Thor in the new game.
Did... Did Travis finally make an impactful decision about his character?

same. It's about damn time.He did! It was awesome, and he's using his real voice in front of Cad. This is my favorite Fjord episode ever.
Nah. It's entirely possible that Vandrin is up to some shit, but I don't think the message was anything.Anyone else get the feeling that Vandrin's wording of 'Fjord would like it here' was supposed to be a coded message and he isn't actually living a quiet life?
That always makes me laugh whenever she tries to imply she's not special because she doesn't cast capital M magic spells. Beau is like the strongest person in the group, she's part of a secret order of spymaster monks who can run and jump at superhuman speeds and distances, punch ghosts, mystically extract information about people or make them tell the truth by hitting them, run up vertical surfaces, and catch arrows out of mid air. She didn't have the pyrotechnics, but recently got gloves that let her shoot lightning bolts out of her hands. Also, PARKOUR!Also poor Beau. Here Fjord is acting all shook up because he's just a normal guy now, when it's something she's been dealing with the entire time with the group.
Well yeah, logically we can say that Beau is incredibly talented capable of feats the rest of the group can't. But she's in a group where half the group has conversations with gods on the regular. Combine that with her feelings of abandonment from her parents and you got yourself a stew of self esteem issues. And now you have Fjord being like "I'm worthless without my abilities" and how's Beau supposed to take that? Not well.Vandren in here like

The girl ain't normal.
You're right self doubt doesn't have to make sense logically, but Fjord is literally just a sailor with no fighting ability at this point.Well yeah, logically we can say that Beau is incredibly talented capable of feats the rest of the group can't.

I also think that message was key to Fjord tossing the sword away. You could hear it the next morning when he was telling the group about it.
"Jester sent a message for me last night. Vandrin seems to be just fine, not looking for me... or searching out anything on his own. He seems to be at peace... That is not how I felt."
I think Fjord is hurt because the person he felt he had a connection with seems to be living life out in a peaceful retirement while he (Fjord) has been going through all kinds of nightmares trying to find his mentor. His link to Ukatoa was a link to Vandrin. I think that was the straw that broke the camel's back and he just said fuck it.
With how much damage the Conclave did, I wouldn't be surprised if most of Tal'Dorei is still rebuilding.The funny thing about Matt trying to push them towards Whitestone is that because of Vox Machina and the whole Chroma Conclave ark, the whole continent really is unlike anything else in the world of Exandria. Like, politically the towns and cities are democracies or councilships, Economically and technologically they are powerhouses, militarily they have some of the strongest adventurers in the world.
Think about it. The empire mobilized the Gnomes to build arial bombers, Emon had that shit from day one. It's very interesting the parallel and really makes me wish that Matt went more into the power dynamics of various empires in the world. I could listen to that for days on end.
Laura kept shooting Travis glances when they were having that skype call in last week, and then he tweeted out an apology afterwards. They definitely had a huddle.Really good to see some substantial character progression for Travis/Fjord as this new sequence starts
Can't help feel Travis and Laura had a huddle at home to come up with a game plan of how to set the ball rolling, but they couldn't have predicted how it was going to turn out. Props to Travis for playing that out, talk about commitment
