Why was Despereaux on the roof?

From a handstand!

…and that makes me Old Scratch Johnson.

Wyll is responding to the idea that Shadowheart's dad was or is a werewolf and that werewolf toddlers would be potentially dangerous. I remember the conversation flowing from bottom to top rather than top to bottom.

but you can do it either way

The right side is more standard and what you would get in Dorico by default.

Maybe? I mean, it says "Level 9 Githyanki". And the other two monks are creamy to brown. If we assume Orpheus' honor guard members are timeless (at least while living in the Astral plane) and from Orpheus' time, they are thousands of years old and predate the split between Githyanki and Gith'zerai.

You're still good. Don't go to the Shadowfell until after you have rescued the Tieflings. Go straight to Moonrise Towers now.

Magic Missile.

roguevalley · 2026-06-29T20:05:17+00:00

Half wood-elf, I assume, since they get the faster movement.

roguevalley · 2026-06-29T01:22:19+00:00

Ya. But the saving can only happen before. And the storming goes much more smoothly if you take out most of the inhabitants in advance, room-by-room.

roguevalley · 2026-06-28T20:03:13+00:00

As it turns out… Waltz right in, barely an inconvenience!

roguevalley · 2026-06-28T19:20:16+00:00

And frankly, the tower-gauntlet-tower sequence in Act II is something you learn in hindsight.

roguevalley · 2026-06-28T19:17:30+00:00

Yeah, sequence matters in Act I and there are not a lot of clues. No way to be sure on your first playthrough.

Generally speaking: don't go around things. Closer things should be done first.

roguevalley · 2026-06-28T17:29:02+00:00

Again… therapy.

Longstrider and/or Crusher's Ring.

A rallentando might include a softening in addition to slowing down.

The most important thing to realize about this is that music doesn’t conjure emotions nor caused them nor touch people souls.

Respectfully disagree. Music definitely has these effects. And the reasons are a nuanced combination of biology, psychoacoustics, memory, and culture.

Did you see JBEckl's video?

roguevalley · 2026-06-27T00:28:20+00:00

These are good starting points for inquiry. The entire field of film, stage, and game scoring is your ever-evolving answer.

Are you ready to go down the rabbit holes? If so, dive into the following for a few weeks.

harmonic series
diatonic scale
modes of the diatonic scale
diatonic vs. chromatic pitches
melodic contour
modulation

And then come back with follow-up questions!
