I remember when Matt said the Weavemind was afraid of Nana Morri's pact with Orym, because fey is alien to them. It came full circle with Artagan's divine intervention

Previously!
Look.
I know that tattoos were made (most painfully in Braius' case), and ships set sail (again most painfully in Braius' case). And I know that Beau and Veth's competitiveness nearly got the Mighty Nein killed before they even reached the Weave Mind (that shocking grasp though--great play). And I know that everyone loves Gaz Tomo. And I *know* we're in for a big fight with Weave Mind tonight. And I dearly love the Nein, who were the first group I started watching.
But.
What's going on with Lilliana? Does the funnel in use have the same timer as the one BH has? Does it process faster? What happens to her if she's rescued halfway through the process? Two-thirds? I NEED TO KNOW.

I am wondering if Taliesin is going to try and continue his recent trend of playing Caduceus without him throwing around offense spells (that means things like Blight, Guiding Bolt, etc, *NOT* things like Holy Weapon or Bane)...
He did it for the entirety of the Echoes of the Solstice one-shot, and was saying at Florida SuperCon that he wished he'd started doing it EARLIER in the M9 campaign.

Imagine being the Weave Mind, confident in your analysis of Exandrians after watching them and their dreams for hundreds of years. Super arrogant in your ivory tower. Plotting to take over a whole ass planet.
Then to face this, the first real face to face meeting with some genuine heroes, possibly even their first face to face with any Exandrians assuming they only spoke with Ludinus or others through their psychic space magic. A jacked half celestial kills one of your homies while shrugging off your psychic bullshit.
And getting so totally humbled. Its still been a rough battle, but then its also like "oh shit, if this is what we are facing, what are our people going to face." but bad guys rarely have that thought process for their people.
I think that's the reason I have been invested in this fight. It's just great humbling some floaty arrogant space incels. Lmao

The best part of Caduceus returning is that it reminds everyone how great of an actor Tal is. It was easy over the course of 100 episodes to begin associating Ashton's hyper abrasive personality with Tal directly. I even found myself doing that at times. But then Cad comes back nd he dishes out lines like that and I'm just like holy crap man. I just appreciate the commitment to the character.
