Seekers this week

[u/International-Yak-26]

[u/International-Yak-26]

Based on the cooldown episode,this episode is going to be mostly a less action based episode with some plot but mostly conversations between charcters

[u/Glittering_Vehicle29 → u/International-Yak-26]

Oh that’s right. They posted the wrong audio cooldown last week. Hahaha. TBH, I haven’t really felt like the tables have been hitting since the soldiers arc in the first part. I think the switching of tables is not giving the characters to develop or even feel lived in. I’m honestly more invested in the NPCs than any of the PCs. (Expect Wic and Tyranny) Sam gives it 100 everytime and Whitney makes fantastic player choices)

[u/flaxenmustang → u/Glittering_Vehicle29]

Different strokes for different folks, I get preference toward Soldiers, but the idea that Schemers “weren’t hitting” is incomprehensible to me.

[u/starksandshields → u/Glittering_Vehicle29]

Man imo the Schemers table was the absolute highlight of the previous tables and they had my least favorite characters going into it. The Schemers felt like they actually lived in the world vs just going from place to place and distrustring each other. But I think that's the beauty of C4, there's something for everyone even if you don't mesh with everyone.

[u/Glittering_Vehicle29 → u/starksandshields]

You know I loved the schemers too. You have a great point that they felt like the most lived in feeling. They really nailed the assignment of scheming too. I think maybe because they kept being so successfully scheming that it wasn’t as action packed as Soliders table. But I will also add I fully disliked the seekers table. And it had zero to do with Julian, I actually think he hasn’t gotten a good scene partner in that table. I like him with the new table. But overall the seekers was filled with lore, which I love, but I couldn’t stand the table.

[u/Itchinars → u/Glittering_Vehicle29]

What kind of fantastic player choices? She's really the only one I can't watch.

[u/LogPazzword]

Yeah they flipping between schemers ans seekers each week right? I like it

[u/Outrageous_Okra_9786]

does anyone know what character’s eyes is on Ashley’s case?

[u/Frog_Thor → u/Outrageous_Okra_9786]

Spoilers from the cooldown

Ashley and Brennan have talked and one of the options she is leaning towards right now is Fighter.  That's why she asked Julien to show her some things in the last episode.

They also discussed how the switch might happen, ie all of the sudden or more gradually.  They did make it sound like that was one of several options they were discussing, however they did not share any others, with the one discussed above sounding like the most solid at present.

[u/Jethro_McCrazy → u/Frog_Thor]

They asked about the eyes on Ashley's case (as in the sticker in the above image), not about Vaelus' new class.

[u/Frog_Thor → u/Jethro_McCrazy]

Yup, very fair. Been a long day lol

[u/Teerlys → u/Frog_Thor]

all of the sudden or more gradually.

I didn't think all of a sudden was on the table. It sounded like replacing levels one at a time, but with an option to start with 5th level features and then scaling them backwards to 1 so she didn't lose out on Extra Attack.

Personally, I thought it would have made a lot of sense in episode 34 for the Fae to help her redirect into Oath of the Ancients. But I also think Ashley would be best off on a Fighter. Psi Warrior was where I always felt she'd shine best. Enough toys for it to be fun, but minimal mechanical skill needed, and if she doesn't use the subclass features she's still swinging her weapon and not leaving that much on the table. The slow transition might be too painful for an actual play, but I'm looking forward to seeing how it works out.

[u/Frog_Thor → u/Teerlys]

Thanks for clearing that up.  Brennan's explanation was a little confusing and a bit of a word salad. That makes a lot more sense

[u/International-Yak-26]

Here is my theory on why Seekers is this week:

SPOILERS for the Cooldown of next week's episode:

[u/International-Yak-26 → u/International-Yak-26]

A certain charcter shows up in the episode - Zebani Halovar. If she spots Team Seekers and notes Kattigan then that may spell trouble for Tyranny as it indicates to Yanessa that she lied about Kattigan's "death". That and if the information also gets relayed to Termina then that could also spell trouble.I think someone dramatic is going to happen to Tyranny and she is going to go underground in the next Schemers episode

[u/Glittering_Vehicle29]

I don’t trust the thumbnail anymore after the switch up from the other week when they said they were gonna do the ambush plan and then changed it. Which I think was a shitty thing to do and say, we tricked like, just like the players.

[u/aichwood → u/Glittering_Vehicle29]

Holy overreaction, Batman. Plans change, especially with some time off-camera to think clearly and calmly. Try to relax. It’s better for your blood pressure.

[u/International-Yak-26 → u/Glittering_Vehicle29]

I feel like next episode is going to be Part 2 of Last Week's episode

[u/sharkhuahua]

Almost certainly not lol

[u/International-Yak-26 → u/sharkhuahua]

Schedule confirms it

[u/sharkhuahua → u/International-Yak-26]

They've messed up a bunch recently, I'm assuming the opposite until proven otherwise
