4:23:25 Episode Ends
The in-game start date for the episode is Syndestar 14, 835. Sam's Flask has a picture of Matt saying "Dod you know there was a d* hidden on the Little Mermaid VHS box?" Sam is dressed like that because he has been matching his fashion from C1, episode for episode, and C1E25 was Halloween.
My understanding is that 1:Quokka are marsupials, and most marsupials will drop their children from their pouch in high stress situations and 2. Quokka live on an island without natural predators, so it's quite rare that they'd actually do that in the wild.
Any moments I missed? Feel free to post them here. Is it Thursday yet?
This is some of Matt's best Roleplay because I felt the secondhand embarrassment as though I really were at A Taste of Tal'Dorei.
This is a pretty pointless comment… But I'm genuinely curious. Where would someone even buy vests like that? And what would bring someone to own and wear vests that often? I think I saw at some point Matt say he was insecure about his chest, but do vests even help that? I'm just so confused how someone commits for decades to branding themselves visually with wrist bangles and wearing vests over t shirts. I mean you do you bro, I'm just fascinated by it. Honestly wearing vests that often is more jarring than if he had a face tattoo or something.
3:30:30 "I'll take a nap" is literally one of the most Fearne things to do while infiltrating a military base. I love that character so much.
Gangs are unionized? LOLOL
1:03:41
How many peoeple had to look up "quokkas" after this
Getting caught up…but man, Imahara Joe's hit like a crawler straight to the feels.

52:27 Thank you for the Duel of the Fates in the background
While I am all about planning and strategy, I hate DnD planning. Like.. we're only playing the game for 4-6 hours once every 2 weeks, lets just come up with a simple plan and go with it. Most DMs are probably want his players to succeed anyways and if they don't then.. it's just a game. So many players come up with complex plans but the moment shit drops they forget all about it. What even is the point?
I gotta know what happens when people say “making our way” around these folks when they aren’t at the table
SPOILER WARNING
I'm rewatching all the Dusk episodes now that we know she's an assassin! Its a different gae entirely 🤯
This Erika chic rubbed me the wrong way last episode I wont lie. But damn she is good at playing her character and reading the room. I am way more interested in her character this episode, and now that I kinda see her style and what she is going for, I respect her as an actor/player. Not that my opinion effects her success lol.
The Quokka is going to be paragons call new mascot lol. Imagine it on all their shields and banners lol.
Omg I forgot about that Erica and Marisha had a…. Yep…nvm. it was…it was too much for my brain to handle
"It says ToT"
"What do you think that means?"
"…..Taste of Tal'dorei"
I lost it about as much as Erika did
At dawn we plan! 2
47:00
Matt needs to study a thesaurus.
Has Fearne ever turned into a honey badger?
Erika ishii is fucking annoying in this game. Loved her in escape from bloodkeep, but this is too much…
Ok, is it just me or did Matt describe a ring of spell storing to Imogen at 4:11:14 ?
3:10:00
That intro though. Everyone looked so amazing
Hopefully Will Smith never sees this episode.
i guess this would be more familiar to people that have been to medieval times.
1:28:07 chetney dropping some W RIZZ
I need the alternative timeline where Fearne does take a nap on the badass warrior lady's bed, then the lady comes down from her shift and cuddles with her in bed, and wakes up with a fey satyr in her arms and goes "you know what, this is fine actually".
Curly Bill from Tombstone. Can't believe it took me this long to realize it.
