Honestly, I don't know, if ISHOULD mention it, but the moment I knew THIS part of the podcast will be the called the "Endgame", all I could think about was this one "The Avengers: Endgame" fansong made by an unbelievably amazing guy. I hope, it's allowed to suggest listening to it without posting a link?! So it would be "Endgame" by "Aviators" for anyone who's willing to give it a go =D

2021-08-13 07:49:30 +0000 UTCAfter listening to 205, I've returned to this conversation from a week ago to say, yes, I fully agree with you.

2021-08-04 15:07:19 +0000 UTCGood point! Yes, it wouldn't be for nothing, but it might not be for anything we or the players suspect. On a side-note, I do admire how he used his nightmare mechanic to get the players so used to the idea that sleep requires multiple saves that they never suspected the scrying.

2021-08-04 12:12:07 +0000 UTCI might be misremembering (it's hard to keep track of it all), but I don't think Alex has ever called for a roll that didn't lead somewhere (or have the potential to lead somewhere if the roll was bad). All those Will saves he spent 5 years asking for were actually relevant, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Sense Motive is as well.

2021-08-04 09:41:49 +0000 UTCwhat a good episode, i have missed these characters so much <3

2021-08-04 09:12:59 +0000 UTCAlternative theory: he didn't, but Alex is asking for all those Sense Motives just to cause suspicion and divert attention from something else dastardly that he (Alex, not Barrett) is doing. My paranoia is multi-directional.

2021-08-04 07:35:27 +0000 UTCThat's an interesting theory. I don't know if I agree yet, but I like it.
Marie
2021-08-04 07:31:56 +0000 UTCSoooo .... Barrett either got blue-veined in a way that can pass the checks, or otherwise sold them out, didn't he?

2021-08-04 07:05:48 +0000 UTCI was excited like these were presents someone had given to me instead of these characters who only exist in our heads. I'm choosing to ignore the terror of what they're leading up to, though. I'm sure it'll only be sunshine and rainbows from here. Yep. Absolutely nothing to worry about. Everything's fine.

2021-08-04 03:45:12 +0000 UTCThis episode has me feeling excited...well excited and scared.

2021-08-03 19:47:23 +0000 UTClovely gifts for everyone! I'm sure this doesn't mean anything other than Alex being in a giving mood. Nothing to worry about there. :)

2021-08-03 19:02:36 +0000 UTCUm, is there a reason Azu doesn't have a perception check at the start? Was it cut, or just missed?

2021-08-03 17:06:35 +0000 UTCyet again feeling the rewards of how absolutely wonderful this episode was to listen to vs the mortifying ordeal of what that means alex is planning to bring down on everyone. (potential spoilers from here) also i've never needed something more than art of zolf in his lovely new grey cloak, stood next to wilde in the most outrageous and gorgeous display of rainbow and ruffles ever seen.
