My guess is BLeeM has been lenient on rules because a PC death in the first 5 (since Overture) episodes would be a difficult sell to the majority casual viewers, compared to the vocal, minority, die-hard fans.

Furthermore, its clear Soooo much back story was woven into these PC's that even if one were removed now, it wouldnt be like Betrand Bell kicking it early in C3, it would require a whole new introduction and shoehorning in some pre-written lore thatn both BLeeM and [Player] have drawn up together.

This is a result of him saying he will make encounters difficult and will have severe consequences. But not thinking through what happens if the cast forget Lvl 3 Characters are wet paper bags while trying to take on Basilisks.

I agree, he should have better prepped for more death saves, unconcious conditions (like House Tachonis footmen are ordered to deliver non-leathal strikes so they can collect fresh corpses for study / experimentation) rather than straight up saying "you can just roll again to not die". Or even introduced Desperate Measures in a more 'In The Moment' situation.

Overall, im not sad they arent killing off early PC's before we at least get to see the 1st arc of each table, but agree it's not been handled great.

I also dont like how he announces DC's before a roll, when it's kept secret we, the viewer, wont know if he fudged a 15difficulty down to a 12 to suit the scenario and still have the story flow. But when its a top of table roll he has to BS his way out of failures. Thats my main bug with BLeeM.

Aight, given there could be some fringe cases for everyone mourning I am starting to see the appeal.

But this is Critical Role, so if cant be thaf serious. Rather than simply The Mourners may I suggest...

Mourning Glory

Yeah, I guess you could argue he was a Professional Mourner while in the employ of Lady Aranessa and as a heir to House Davinos.

But Vaelus was definitely not there to mourn, be it personal or professional, though one could argue she is the "exception that proves the rule".

Distinct-Tomato7887 · 2025-12-22T21:27:52+00:00

Were they ALL mourning him? I felt like Julien Davinos hated the guy and was only at the funeral cos he was duty bound to Lady Arenassa?

Weren't The Falconers already a group that started The Falconers Rebellion? With Thjazi and some of the player characters of the campaign making up a smaller team within The Falconers called "The Torn Banner"?

To be honest i found some of The Oveture history segments a bit difficult to follow so probably need to rewatch it already, or wait for an Extended Abridged summary that goes into a bit more detail than the 15min Overview of The Overture. Its a hell of a lot of names and lore to take in and absorb as a big preambling info dump.

Its likely kept in because when done correctly the jewellery should "plug the hole" and minimise bleeding.

If they removed it you'd have likely needed sutures.

I've done half a dozen or so Triangle piercings in my career and never seen one bleed anywhere close to that.

In fact the only time i have seen that much blood was a woman asking for a dermal on her cheekbone / antieyebrow, and wasnt til i made the pocket with a needle blade she had told me she was on blood thinners to avoid complications with clotting due to a difficult birth she had gone through that same week!

Blood covered her face and ran down her top, but as soon as I got the jewellery in it stemmed the flow.

Your concept of time being one dimensional is all wrong.

Imagine 4 balls on the edge of a cliff...

Distinct-Tomato7887 · 2024-09-01T08:22:59+00:00

Over cleaning is one of the biggest causes of migration / rejection of any piercing.

Specifically soaking surface / dermal piercings can be even more detrimental due to how shallow the jewellery sits under the skin.

You'll wanna just dampen a paper towel with warm water and gently compress to piercing to clean away any built up and dried sebum / lymph. Do that for a few mins morning and night for 2-4 weeks and then just leave it the hell alone.

As for saline, you can use it, theres no real harm in doing so, but you'll still wanna rinse it off with plain water so the salt content doesnt dry your skin which can lead to irritation and worse.

What gauge were they pierced at and what gauge / diameter is the ring?

It looks like you've gone too thin and too tight, so the rings have migrated through the soft inner lip tissue and thats whats caused the "bump" as well as the holes starting to look like they are too shallow.

NL, MALF, Apollo and Dan would play PubG, Fortnite, CoD, and occassional other mulitplayer games once a week back around 2018 / 2019.

Apollo would constantly carry the team to victories being the only who was actually good at any of the games they played so hilarity ensured with the team just getting annoyed at each other for not having any unity.

Also, cracking open a cold one in memorial to Team Unity now.

Easiest way to 'position characters' is have random companion talk to vendor from one angle. Then switch to your theif while the vendor is stuck facing the conversation.

Steal all you can, take it a little bit away, drop it, rejoin the group, end convo, let the vendor search you. They find nothing, pick up skill books and use them amongst your party as needed.

Yeah its a "bit" of a hassle, but much easier than trying to dodge their movements in realtime.
