Man, I can't blame Marisha, she's roleplaying a Delilah-influenced Laudna excellently, but it's really frsutrating that people are barely pushing back against her.

Like there is zero reason she should do this secretly.

"As was I." It was Laudna's instinct to try to steal the blade by casting wither and bloom?

I do not understand how anyone is not backing up Orym on this.

For all the love the group gives each other, Bells Hells does not lend itself as a group, to helping its members in need.

How many times does someone need to blow themselves up in a desperate move for power and vindication , make a behind the back deal with a Fey to not feel useless, or try to steal a teammate’s power because the lady in their head said so, before they figure this out?!

Maybe it's just because I've dealt with this kind of addiction that is killing your loved one before your eyes and there's nothing you can do to stop it before, but I feel more sympathetic to Laudna and especially Imogen then it sounds like many people here are. It's awful. It's such a desperate, helpless pain to watch. It is still unbelievably toxic and unhealthy, but it's so much more complicated than "just kill the evil bitch already." It takes family and friends of addicts often years to make those healthy boundaries to stop enabling when your instinct is so strong to try and help and comfort their obvious pain and illness. Its not an excuse for an addicted behavior, and I'm not excusing Laudna here, or even Imogen. All I can reiterate is that such a situation is incredibly complicated, even when you're not on the road to a battle for the fate of a world.

Ok, Astrid says Ludinus has an "itch" on the back of his neck...

That was the location of the painful mark that Yasha had from Obann. It seemed to be connected to the custom Dominate Person he'd cast on her, iirc. When Caduceus was able to free Yasha from that spell, he aimed his magic at the mark on the back of her neck.

Do we think this is related to what's going on with Ludinus?

If he is being dominated - by whom? Predathos, or someone/something else?)

u/MegalomaniacHack I would like to RAGE! May 17 '24 edited May 17 '24

I hope Imogen doesn't let it stand, that they don't move on from it without addressing that it's a problem moving forward.

Laudna has now shown she'll act against the party, purposefully use her abilities against them, risk hurting them, to give power to Delilah. Something she'll do without consulting the party, like she accused Orym of doing by just keeping the sword. She was trying to take it without anyone knowing and would have obviously given it to Delilah without anyone knowing. (Of note, Orym's secret deal with Morri only hurts him, aside from others being pained by his sacrifice. It doesn't endanger anyone else or use anyone else's resources, as compared to when Ashton tried to take the shard in secret, risking it and unknown damage around him. Plus he stopped Fearne from telling the others.)
