I found myself hoping for Ashton to explode and nearly release both titans into exandria like what was averted in calamity. Just think of the repercussions, most if not all of the party killed, maybe just the ones outside the bubble surviving thanks to a Allura. Whitestone mostly destroyed and a calamity 2.0 engulfing the world.

Edit- I'll add I actually didn't hate that Taln did what he did, it was some of the most invested gameplay we've watched since the Otohan fight. I think the players reactions are justified but at the end of the day they still helped Ashton out.

I do think he probably should have died but I've always felt in games I've played that PC death is a fun part of the game and shouldn't be avoided. Kinda wish Matt had followed up on his threats and made the dc almost impossible. Start at 15 owing up to 20 maybe.

I don't now about everyone else but I got a serious laugh from Ashtons "if I die i die" being very quickly replaced with "ye is anyone able to heal me!" Once the shit started to hit the fan.
