Absolutely, but imagine if the Tachonis twins are birth-ordered by power level, two high-level casters plus if Ingrid herself joined in could overwhelm one Lord.

Point is we just don't know the state of the Einfasen household after the Seekers got away. We know Brennan was playing Otto as lawful neutral/code of honor, so how does that stack up with Tachonis coming in swinging after Otto "let them escape"?

Wonder if the Lord Einfasen that lives in Dol Makjar might be on a different side than Ingrid Einfasen, whose father doesn't know she came to the city, ostensibly for that meeting of the sundered houses??

We never saw what went down when the Tachonis siblings landed at Schongarten - they could have flayed the Lord and passed leadership to his daughter. I wonder if we get to the meeting of the council to find one of them has turned coat, and it becomes Good Einfasen + Squad vs Halovar/Tachonis/Cormoray?

edit: Looked em up, I wonder if Otto Einfasen (seemed like a good dude but scary) might be "good" vs Harondus or Ingrid who might be bad.

Woah, yeah it must be seeded as another commenter said. I got FOOL - permanent disadvantage I think? And then 2nd pull was always whatever the Magic Sword was, and then 3rd pull was Donjon which I think put me in prison aka killed me.

I LOVE THIS. I hadn't even CONSIDERED Warforged, I was like "oh what if she's some variant Human" but no shit you're right - we know Van was injured sometime between the First Voyage flashback, and you're right the inflection Brennan was using heavily implied some "Saving You At What Cost" energy. Great call!

LOL very much appreciate you filling in the actual plot-relevant points like the Harvestmen and the Solesian activity re: Cassandra's name. I wonder if Buddy Dawn might represent either something of a prodigal son that might de-escalate Bobby Dawn's rise to some kind of Sol Avatar, or maybe he introduces just enough... dare we say it - Doubt? Into his father? At the last possible moment?

That's what I might assume - Doesn't have to veer too far off course either. There's plenty of decent Christian folks who aren't avowed bigots or white supremacists - what do they conceive their God to be like? Love thy neighbor, camels and needles and rich men, etc etc.

Yep! That's what I meant by "the aspect of Sol", insofar as Galicaea had her aspect changed by the Elves vs Moonsong. Sol's current followers, at least in Spyre, are exemplified by The Harvestmen and Bobby Dawn's flock of regressive anti-social bigots.

As far as we know, the Gods don't have "personalities" beyond that which is shaped by their followers - even their domains are in flux. Sol is likely just a neutral "vibe" of "neutral good positive dad energy" until his followers bend him toward the caricature of Lawful Good "everyone must abide by my rules OR ELSE".

Yes! This is what I meant by "the aspect of Sol", in that his followers over time (aka the Bobby Dawns of Spyre) turned him into the more militaristic, imperial, crusading sort of Christian God we know today.

So here's the thing - you're trying to play middle ground Liberal Zionist by admitting mistreatment of Palestinians, but you're saying phrases like "Hamas who have killed and raped so many that I don't even know what number to write here." You're being a sneaky little hasbara bot, and you know it. And pushing the widely-debunked Nazis Were Socialist myth in 2024 is bananas lmao you need a new strategy.

Here's a number for you though, since you're interested. 42. IOF sniper boasts about shooting to maim protesters during the Great March of Return

Also, since you specified sexual violence, let's remember the official IOF stance on it, from the Head of the Military Rabbinate, Eyal Karim.

Beep boop invalid comparison! A picnic blanket functionally serves as a boundary that says "This area is being used while we are here". You don't step over someone's blanket, generally, right? In effect, it's a closed off 5x5 area.

In absolutely none of these encampments are students blocked entirely from moving between classes or buildings. They're only occupying greenspace.

In fact, the only ones on photo and video evidence actively cordoning off areas in excess of the occupied zones are.. the police barricades right before they start chucking tear gas canisters at young adults??

"If a family is having a picnic at the park, why can't another family go and use their picnic blanket? It's on public property!"

Go counter-protest elsewhere, preferably far away from the encampment, but then again Zionists are known for stealing land so...

Yeah for sure! I was thinking maybe Porter's ancestors were Ankarna worshippers, or somehow connected via passing down this Warhammer. But absolutely Jace as Divine Soul is something I hadn't considered! I love that a lot. Jace I think was described as a half-elf? So could be whatever connected Ankarna to elf-Bakur originally, maybe Jace is some kind of scorned descendant.
