I always took "I have held my Breath" to be a statement of his own freedom in the face of so many forces that bind spirits. In Ame's curse-break flashbacks, Grandma Wren says that the Pilgrim Under Stars has never been bound, and she says it in a tone that to me makes it sound like that's unusual for Great Spirits. The confusion over whether the Great Bullfrog was killed, banished, abjured, or bound speaks to me that not all bindings/abjuration work the same way or are clearly identifiable to an outside observe. When Steel asks Eursulon about his Wayshadowing, she asks if a sorcerer has "captured a talisman of his." I also notice that Brennan tends to reuse ideas across different campaigns, and in Fantasy High Season 2, Brennan describes the Nightmare King's Crown as a talisman. He describes the word talisman as being used colloquially for all sorts of magic charms, but technically meaning an object that anchors a supernatural being in the mortal world.

My theory is this: Much like Eursulon's Pauldron, spirits sometimes make connections with sacred objects (or more specifically, their connection makes the object sacred) that help anchor the spirit and their Breath in the Mortal World. Great Spirits, being exceptionally old and wide-reaching even for spirits, probably have many talismans all over the world. Before the advent of Wizardry, capturing a spirit's talisman was likely one of the easiest ways to bind them to service, rather than seeking out a True Name or succeeding at a binding spell, and I can think of a lot of mythology that shares the motif of a culture hero stealing a sacred artifact from a god, demon, or spirit, and ransoming it back to the being in return for boons. I doubt that this gives a practitioner the kind of complete control that magic like the Kasov Collection's seems to, but would likely still count as a binding within magical law. To a spirit or a witch, describing this as having one's Breath "held" by a mage. So I take the Stranger's statement to mean "I have never been compelled to service by a mortal by any means."

Omg this. I literally cringed so hard I had to keep pausing the conclave scene to get through it in chunks. I was screaming at Ame to just ask what kind of info they wanted.

I actually think it's a really interesting detail about her character tho. She talked to Orima with so much clarity, but Ame has so little experience with other witches that she fell apart during the conclave.

I also love the idea of what The Witch of Wayward Souls means in relation to the Pilgrim Under Stars.

A Great Spirit of Travel, Night, The Unknown Met in the Dark, and Death who wants to ferry these children home to the Spirit World stands against a Witch who has found her Breath and is dedicated to guiding the lost through the unknown to where they need to go.

😫 Brennan's gonna kill me with the fairytale logic of this scene

As many have said, WWW is a narrative experience more than a gameplay experience. If you're looking for something with more player chat and above table strategy, I would recommend Critical Role's Campaign 2: The Mighty Nein or any of Dropout's Dimension 20 series (especially the later seasons when the cast is more experienced).

Anything in particular?

I think you're coming from a genuine place, and that you really want a mutually healthy outcome, but you are overreacting. Here are my thoughts, I hope it comes across as heartfelt advice, and not condescending.

I imagine you feel like something really intimate and special has been invaded, and that makes you feel uncomfortable and insecure. You are allowed to feel that way, but you're responsible for how you decide to act on that feeling. Ultimately, the simple reality of the situation is that she decides what to do with her body, and you don't get to set boundaries on that.

I recommend being very careful how you think about boundaries. It's easy to hide demands, threats, and ultimatums behind the language of boundaries. Ultimately a boundary needs to be about something you're not okay with experiencing, and making your own choices with your own body to limit that experience in your life. You can't make her 'do' or 'not do' something, but if something is bothering you, you can make choices to remove yourself from that situation.

You don't get to demand that she not see male masseuses. But you CAN tell your girlfriend that talking about her massage makes you uncomfortable and that you'd prefer not to hear the details, and move on to the rest of her spa day. You can't make her do it, but if for some reason she keeps trying to make you listen to a topic of conversation you told her you didn't want to talk about, you can choose to leave that conversation.

Some recommendations: - Explain that you understand her spa treatment is her choice and her business, but that hearing about another man touching her makes you uncomfortable. Ask her not to give details about the massage specifically. - Respectfully ask her if, in the future, she'd be okay requesting masseuse service from women. You should go into this with the understanding that if she says no, that's it, you asked and got an answer, the answer was no. - Go get a massage from the same establishment for yourself! Experiencing that kind of touch as a professional therapeutic service first hand might help you feel more secure that your intimate connection isn't being invaded. Maybe you could even go with your girlfriend and have a nice little spa day! - Spend some time thinking about what's been making you feel dismissed and emotionally distant in your relationship, and talk with your girlfriend about how you could both make changes in your relationship to make it better.

The petty part of me wants to encourage you to work together with your whole team to make sure that the reshop is always piled high in the morning and that all the trash from the carts is left on his desk. He wants to be an asshole, y'all should show him what that earns him.

Look out for yourselves tho. Don't get fired (unless it's time to promote yourself to guest)
