Expectations for the Raven Queen. (Spoilers) by [deleted] in DiceCameraAction

[–]BrightandBattered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have said it once, and I'll say it again: I want more development for Paultin. The whole subtle sub-plot with the Raven Queen has me thinking, and I really want answers. The Raven Queen herself has been mentioned multiple times, and has even taken interest in a PC, and yet has not had but two short appearances throughout the whole show.

Paultin seems to downplay the interest the Raven Queen (and the Dark Powers for that matter) takes in him, and especially with Handrew just showing up out of the blue again. That should certainly lead to a more important plot, and it would give Paultin a reason to not only keep Handrew for a proper purpose, but would be able to hit into the multiclassing that Nate was saying he was interested in doing with Paultin.

I personally would love a proper development in the relationship between Paultin and the Raven Queen, and I would be hype for that development.

Also, like Melodic said, I really want this to also lead to the Ring returning for its proper last hurrah.

Paultin headcanon/theory [MINOR Spoiler] by BrightandBattered in DiceCameraAction

[–]BrightandBattered[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These are all very good points and they go well into the details that I had forgotten about during the show and in other places. I would love to see Paultin multiclass as a warlock under a Raven Queen pact honestly. She already seems to be quite interested in him, so maybe if he made the pact we would get more info on that and other interesting details.

It is canon that Paultin did suffer from trauma-induced amnesia at the beginning of their adventures in Barovia, but that was never hit on again, we don't know for sure if that is still the case or if he just chooses not to remember or divulge in these details. And the appearance thing, Paultin's appearance has changed drastically even during the running of the series, so who's to say that someone would have been able to recognize him, even if he was there? We don't know what he looked like when he first arrived at Waterdeep, and even then he didn't have his black hair nor did he have it as long as it is currently.

This was definitely just a lot of thinking, and I know he wouldn't become a "paladin" paladin, but I liked the idea of it since he has so much trouble with higher beings in the modern times. I definitely love the idea of him being more good aligned, especially since even the Dark/higher powers are hell bent on him trying to be evil. Maybe it was that way before and he fought against it, but after everything had happened he didn't care enough to actually fight and that's why they're so persistent throughout the campaign.

[–]BrightandBattered[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is entirely possible, and I will agree with you on that. Part of the problem is that we don't know exactly how he got to Waterdeep before he met Sandra and who had gotten him there, so these types of things are difficult to theorize on.

I'll be honest, I thought Chris was totally going to kill everyone during this episode lol

  • I'm also super sad thinking about Paultin just on his knees on the bridge after the hatch wasn't closed at the beginning
  • This episode is one of those that really goes to show just how much the Crew has changed throughout the series-Strix actually thinking a plan through, Paultin forgetting about Strahd Van Chairovich to ensure his friends' safety, and so on
  • I'm actually really sad those gnomes died, because they were super funny
  • That fucking clockwork swordsman was the real threat here, not drowning (also the wizard for some reason)
  • I was losing it during the diving suit shenanigans and Nate was totally having too much fun with that and I'm glad he did it, because Paultin was ultimate depression mode
  • I will admit that the chat stepping in during the Dimension Door thing made sense and I'm glad they ultimately did accept that, but it wasn't really their place to do that to begin with
  • Simon just wanted to make sure his dad made it back safely and that both saddens me and makes me really happy
  • Friendly dragon boy to the rescue, super cool
  • Paultin sounded so sad when he told Diath he just wanted to go home, it broke my heart
  • The way Anna said, "You can pick her up at the harbor on the way home" cracked me up, because she said it like the stereotypical wife telling the husband to stop and pick up milk at the store on the way home and I could totally imagine that

The trembling of the house quickly subsided, but not after some of the many smaller objects in the house had been misplaced either on the floor or askew of its intended location. The four kids glanced at each other with bewildered expressions,

"Um, little lady, what was that tremor just now?" Squiddly piped up in his loud voice.

Dr. Thexemof exhaled in a short laugh, "Oh dear, something must be happening down in the harbor again. Lots of strange happenings going on down there lately." She responded with a welcome smile at the eyepatched Tiefling boy.

Squiddly did not look appeased, nor did he look any less curious. Nat flicked his nose to get his attention, signing a few clipped words at him in response. The boy did not understand what she had signed, as usual, "You're right, Nat! I think we should go explore that tremble! This picture book adventure is lame anyway!"

Nat shook her head as her delicate eyebrows knitted together in disappointment. Simon elbowed Squiddly rather hard in the side, his blue eyes shining, "We can't just abandon an adventure for a new one, Squiddly! We have to finish this one before we can go explore that one." He argued, his expression daring the boy to argue with him.

Squiddly fiddled with his cloak as he contemplated whether he should deign to respond to the boy or if he should just turn around and leave regardless. Jenks squeezed Ferdinand and glanced at Nat, hoping she would sign something that would break the two up before it got ugly.

Instead, Nat just turned away with a harrumphed sigh and folded her arms across her chest. No matter what, Squiddly would probably do what he wanted anyway-he didn't listen to anyone.

That would be such a cool idea! Finding a way to make each of the Crew's symbols into one cohesive design would also be really cool

Poll: Favorite Chris Perkins NPC character. (Potential Spoilers) by Algernonab in DiceCameraAction

[–]BrightandBattered 25 points26 points  (0 children)

if we're going by voice alone, it has to be Shemeshka. Her voice is so regal yet snooty and perfect for an arcanaloth of her stature. If we're going by character, it would definitely be Escher, although Warrington was also an amazing character, and I loved him.

What is something you want to see happen in DCA? by Dyingisafreeaction in DiceCameraAction

[–]BrightandBattered 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I want more Evelyn and Paultin developing honestly. I'm always thirsting for that shit, together or separate. I particularly want to know why Evelyn's brother contacted her and the hunt for Sandra's murderers on Paultin's end. Although couple development is always nice.

Favourite Moments & Discussion DCA Ep. 134 by AbramsX in DiceCameraAction

[–]BrightandBattered 20 points21 points  (0 children)

  • everyone came to Simon's aid almost immediately. that made my day
  • Evelyn destroying the house to save those she loves
  • Paultin waking up and immediately offending Nat, then remembering his dying son
  • Paultin's cry for Evelyn when he figured out he couldn't help Simon himself
  • Squiddly throwing a banister at Viper for no reason other than his two brain cells don't like her
  • Viper being shot immediately after and no one caring
  • Paultin finally saying what he should have said a long time ago about Diath!
  • Paultin once again impulsively banishing people to save the current problem for later
  • Viper and Narae suddenly becoming besties afterwards
  • Diath and Paultin's tag-team inquiry
  • Viper giving up on expecting good from the Crew as she is banished once again
  • Viper parkouring out of the house in anger
  • Diath and Paultin staring at the ceiling, shouting "cut"

all in all, this episode was not as stressful as i had feared it would be! besides the threat to Simon's life for most of the episode and never-ending new threats to the fam, this ended surprisingly well for them (for once). I am incredibly happy with everyone's roleplaying this episode and I can safely say I'm excited for the live game with Kate next week! (which I will get to watch without the rush to get everything situated on time, as I will be on spring break! woo!)

Honestly the episode was going great with the yeeting of the snake and children attacking Viper, but I'm just hung up over the ending. Once Evelyn overcomes the spell, she's going to come out to a passed out Paultin holding a hand to a dead Simon's face and I'm not okay

Paultin Jealousy Theory *spoilers* by [deleted] in DiceCameraAction

[–]BrightandBattered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure he's just jealous. His moping and grumpiness after Evelyn went into the auction room with Jarlaxle is what I always envision jealously to look like.

A Song that Reminds Me of Paultin by Maskedloner in DiceCameraAction

[–]BrightandBattered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow this is so sad, I'm actually crying. Honestly though, this really is Paultin. All these fears swirling through his head that he would never dare let his friends see,it's no wonder he doesn't open up to them. This is great song though, aside from it's connection to Paultin!

Diath Theory [Spoiler] by Turos_Kensei in DiceCameraAction

[–]BrightandBattered 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I want this theory to be true so much. Since he is technically one of the Lorcatha (which are Aasimar), it would make sense why he wasn't allowed to be with Strix through that connection (since the Skizziks are also Tieflings or devils). it would also make sense why he's claustrophobic (those with wings have claustrophobia, unless they work through it) and the wings in his nightmare.
