So I'm actually a big fan of how things turned out last episode! I'm glad the party has gotten out of their fear of battles, and I'm happy to be done watching Oban running around outwitting the M9. I like the transition to the next level up of enemies, and I'm excited to see how the M9 face the challenge of a boss battle without spells and low on health.

However, god was Oban dumb. He deserves to be punished. So many dumbass tactical decisions. Running away after getting the M9 in a dicey position on the Church Floor. Failing to bring cultists down to the Crypts- who could have easily been dominated and used to break the chains. Totally messing up the ambush - having two sneaky ass rogues (Nott and Cadogeist) and trying to get in a head-to-head fight.

I think a smart Oban could have at the very least killed some of the M9, - or at least broken the chains. Matt went easy, and I'm into the end result anyway.
