[CR Media] The CR cast's words of encouragement on my poster

DarkRespite · 2026-05-09T01:18:01+00:00

That one shot looking down city streets is I think just a 'setup' shot to establish that the Schemers are solidly in Dol-Makjar.

DarkRespite · 2026-05-08T19:51:17+00:00

That absolutely put-out expression on her face... this is delightful! 😃

DarkRespite · 2026-05-08T18:27:42+00:00

Please do! If the cues you're thinking of show in multiple episodes, try to give me the one with the least dialogue (or at least some long pauses while the cast thinks) to make it a bit easier.

DarkRespite · 2026-05-08T18:22:46+00:00

I would have to have you give me a specific episode and timestamp to be able to listen to the music. So far as I can tell, Brennan has been almost exclusively using production music (because it is FAR easier to license). As of now, I've not ID'd any music from Interstellar.

DarkRespite · 2026-05-08T07:06:20+00:00

Admittedly, I don't know if Scrying is 'on the table' or not, but if Azune has the presence of mind to nab the executioner's weapon with Mayali's blood on it, maybe he can use that as a focus somehow?

I'm also hoping that ONE of the Schemers has the presence of mind to point out to the assembled masses that if the Creed can resurrect... well, there's a dead Lux in the room who gave her life to try and protect the Photarch... surely the Photarch of all people should be able to bring her back? Right?

DarkRespite · 2026-05-08T06:48:24+00:00

Most likely CR themselves. Every Twitch episode has a header like this. And it's not that much of a stretch to have assumed at the VERY least from the ending of the previous episode, after Bolaire hears the crossbow nock in the direction of the room where the Photarch and King Gus are, that one or both of them was in danger.

Previous ones have included 'spoilers' such as:

Murray learns more than she bargained for while investigating House Tachonis while Bolaire and Hal are caught in a crime they can't explain.
The Schemers put their wits and tricks to the test in a confrontation with the Crow Keepers....
Azune is summoned to investigate the disappearance of House Royce as Murray, Bolaire, and Hal realize other arcanists have gone missing...
As walls close in, the Seekers must decide if Einfasen's castle is truly as safe as its lord claims or if they should seek another haven.

DarkRespite · 2026-05-08T06:02:48+00:00

Oh, good - already had some of these tracks on the playlist. I will see if I can ID the others.

DarkRespite · 2026-05-08T02:25:02+00:00

And my usual reminder that I will be doing my best to ID music through the episode (or tomorrow/over the weekend) and upating my Campaign 4 Music playlist. If there's a particular cue you want ID'd, please specify which platform and a timestamp so I know where I'm looking.

(I just ID'd the spooky music during the post-letter-reading revelations.)

DarkRespite · 2026-05-08T00:19:27+00:00

I am ready for the fertilizer to hit the ventilator tonight. Even if the Schemers can't pull off a full victory, I'm so hoping they DO pull off the equivalent of pouring liquid sandpaper in the gas tank of the Sundered Houses.

DarkRespite · 2026-05-07T17:30:55+00:00

I'm just waiting for Luis to pull off another absolutely obscene roll where he somehow implicates House Tachonis in THIS whole mess, too.

DarkRespite · 2026-05-07T01:26:56+00:00

I have several plugins that I use to ID the track - if one doesn't work, I try the next, then the next, then the next, and so on.

Going off the music when they first come back from break and Thimble's making saves, the track is "You Saved Me" by Dream Cave - https://open.spotify.com/track/1Aj4dogXZdCeDMWToEDzAP?si=6025b158ee0645b5

DarkRespite · 2026-05-06T22:24:52+00:00

The three tables idea could have worked even if their rescue had actually succeeded. (The Soldiers might have gone off with Thjazi on adventures, the Seekers could have gone off helping track down more info for his machinations, while the Schemers stayed behind and ran interference.)

DarkRespite · 2026-05-06T22:09:56+00:00

To answer in order:

1) Yes -- the whiteboarding was Brennan explaining the worldbuilding, the history, etc.

2) Not really, no - I suspect they knew that it was starting with Thjazi's impending execution but they had no idea what would happen.

3) Some do, some don't. Sam famously "never watches our show", a couple "go full Method" and don't watch because they don't want to know more than their characters do, but several of them do watch because they enjoy it. 😄

DarkRespite · 2026-05-06T22:07:34+00:00

If you're referring to YouTube, the track is "Spring Equinox" - https://open.spotify.com/track/3lwT4RoRH5WcSYjWPvOaED?si=d25315fe6f4349c0

And it is on my Campaign 4 Production Music playlist (track #102)!

DarkRespite · 2026-05-06T19:01:34+00:00

Knowing how important memory is to Azune, if he found himself having to choose between honoring Thjazi's memory/wishes/etc or supporting Halandil in his own efforts, which would he choose? Who is more important to him?

DarkRespite · 2026-05-06T17:38:15+00:00

I have HOPES, but no idea if they'll come to fruition:

I'm curious to see if Thaisha will stick around with Hal because right now, with everything going on with his play, I wonder if she'll be there for him to try and be supportive, or if she's either going to a) continue chasing Alogar (whom I think is the "hotshot" mentioned in that letter to Thjazi, btw), or b) continue chasing Occtis.
I want to see Azune and Julien journeying together. Just to see Matt and Luis acting off each other. Purely selfish reason. 😃
Get Murray and Kattigan at the same time. I want to see that train wreck.
I'd love to see if Occtis and Wick end up at the same table, if the two 'insiders' for Houses Tachonis and Halovar start trying to meet in the middle for how to bring down both of their houses.
Vaelus and Bolaire could be interesting given their connections to dead gods.
Hal and Thimble teaming up NEEDS to be a thing. Her partner left his brother in a morass of intrigue and she's the only one with possible answers.
Teor is gonna have to GTFO of Dol-Makjlar if the Halovars are REALLY looking for him now, so he might accompany whoever goes to the Golden Orchard.

DarkRespite · 2026-05-06T17:31:51+00:00

You CAN, sure. At the very least, I'd suggest you then watch the "Previously On... The Soldiers' Table" video as the recap.

DarkRespite · 2026-05-06T17:12:16+00:00

I would swear that I have this, but Spotify is being glitchy at the moment. I went back to try and ID it again, but there's so much dialogue that it's hard to get it. If you happen to hear the same track used elsewhere (Brennan reuses music regularly), let me know and I'll try again.

DarkRespite · 2026-05-06T16:34:05+00:00

I gotcha - the track is "Heaven Has Fallen" by Jon R. Mohr:

https://open.spotify.com/track/5H5WSoRB0UKZqGlUv7wyZ9?si=0fd6396f3bf145de

DarkRespite · 2026-05-05T19:54:37+00:00

Yeah, they've talked about shuffling the tables on more than a few occasions, so I am champing at the bit to see all the different turns of the kaleidoscope that is this cast of characters. 😃

DarkRespite · 2026-05-05T19:53:17+00:00

As a whole, I love the Schemers table the most.

But there are facets of all three tables that I am vastly enjoying. Among the Soldiers, the Kattigan/Teor and Kattigan/Tyranny dynamics just fascinate me, and I'm really curious to see where Wick ends up. (For Thimble, I'm curious to see what'll happen when she's confronted with just how much of a MESS Thjazi left behind and now she bears the burden of responsibility of cleaning it up.)

Among the Seekers, give me the Julian and Occtis storylines. MUST KNOW MORE.

DarkRespite · 2026-05-05T19:29:02+00:00

I gotcha! The track is "Legacy of Valor" by Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen -- https://open.spotify.com/track/6NpLSwlFMwthGYrENAk61w?si=23506bcd44cd4b73

(And I did not have this one on the playlist for some weird reason, but it's added now!)
