His life has been so woeful for so long he has all that love energy building up inside him, that comes out here as inspiration for the date planning for these two. :D
I like to think that Marisha gave Liam an outline and Liam tried to write something that would blow even her away. But, then again she’s super talented so who frickin knows
@@SmellsFischy i mean Marisha improvised p*rn at some point so I wouldn't be surprised if she wrote it by herself /hj Although Liam *is* very poetic so it also could've been him haha /srs
@@scarlet7954 also super super true. I have fallen in live with this show and I have to say this episode just made my heart swell. Whoever wrote it is a god damn word weaver.
beau being her self-deprecating self: you know no pressure if you don't like me the way I like you Yasha doodling Mrs. and Mrs. Nydoorin/Lionette on pieces of paper: yeah sure..., but
Liam and Marisha's "YES AND"ing at each other in the YOU FUCKING KNOW WHY section is why I love when they play off one another. There was nothing actually there and they improvised an entire back and forth about it and I just love this show god damn it.
I actually think Marisha might've told Liam what she wanted ahead of time (because he describes the whole thing as they have the date), so by the time it happens here, he already knows what she wanted Caleb to do to the tower
To me, it also felt like Veth recognizing how much she had misread Beau for a long time and saw the fragile, hurting girl under the rugged exterior. So instead of her usual trolling, Veth let her maternal instincts do the talking. And funnily enough, I recently wrote a fic that revisits that entire exchange from Veth's POV. It's on ao3 if you're interested, it's titled "Mother Knows Best".
Just realized something. In story Caleb just found out that he may have the an opportunity for revenge. His mind must be twisted with memories, anger, sadness and yet he is able to push all of that to the side and concentrate on creating the tower to the Beau's specifications for a date. He can set aside his own emotions in order to make sure that his two friends have the best night possible. Caleb is a true friend.
He's proven to be able to seriously compartmentalize and shift focus. I think in this case he really really needed a distraction, and this killed two birds with one stone, providing him the opportunity to express how much he cares about Beau and Yasha, without actually having to say the words.
Frumpkin five minutes before the date. " Places everybody, Places." all round the set, newly transformed cat-dogs scampers around, save for one. Cat-Dog three " I wanna see the union rep, my contract sez I'm a cat" Frumpkin twirls around and glares, "we got a variance from the unions for this now Get ready." Cat-dog three was unimpressed, "I still wanna file a grievance" Frumpkin panics, "But they will be here in two minutes. Ok triple scale for tonight's work." Cat-dog three gets in line for the opening number. "Glitter Ninjas watch your timing and die gloriously.
Y'know, there really is just something about seeing Beau be sort of...unrestrainedly romantic that really hits me. She's the one who we've always seen be all "let's keep it casual, yeah no big deal, whatever" about her liaisons. But here she is really putting in all this thought and effort, really showing her growth in how much she's allowing EVERYONE to see how much she cares. Like...under that "fuckboy" "cool girl" persona there's a real romantic there! There's a real impulse for sincere and grand gestures! But she's probably always felt too embarrassed to show any of that. But now, the combination of the depth of her feelings for Yasha and also having the support of friends who make her feel like it's okay to show that part of herself has really freed her. I think what hit me about this whole date thing for me was that it just made me feel like *this is who Beau really is*--she's dorky and painfully earnest and LOVES thinking and planning and making something amazing with her friends for someone she loves full of all sorts of little details that she's noticed about them and their time together. And she doesn't feel like she' has to be "cool" or act like she doesn't care anymore, and I'm so proud of her for that? But even more than that, I just felt so happy and excited for her that she was able to do that because I could just see how happy and excited it *made her*. Beau wanted a big crazy romantic ridiculous date with Yasha because she FUCKING CARES and she's not afraid to act like it, and I could not be more thrilled for both of them.
I feel you bro, I’m in the same boat. Don’t worry, our time will come someday again. Maybe as glorious as theirs minus a Nein Sided Tower unfortunately 😁

For as long as I've awaited for this to come to fruition, I never imagined something so brilliant as a date through cherished memories being indirectly narrated by Caleb. It was more beautiful and romantic than I could have hoped. The memories, the stories, Frumpkin with a bell, dog-ninjas. It was perfect.
Liam at his heart is a storyteller, and this is how he shows his love for his friends. Anytime he describes anything in the tower, or the children's story he wrote, it's storytelling gold
I'll be honest, I enjoy the way these are cut together and they are like perfect sizable chunks for doing art, working on a motorcycle, or cleaning up the homestead, BUT I did kind of find the naming of that chapter to be odd. I found nothing about Yasha's sexuality being expressed in that moment. I don't remember what the potion was for either, so... Is there some joke, that I a proud trans lesbian, missed in that chapter which resulted in the naming of said chapter in that way? It reads a little odd is all. Is there some sort of joke about "gay people" getting ripped off, or something? Was that the joke? I've been ripped off before, but it wasn't because I was gay.

I mean, Caleb seems like the stoic type. Yes, he knows that he's an emotional wreck, but we've seen him always try to pick up the pieces and become rather calm and collected afterwards. I think he would probably put his own feelings aside in order to give his friends something nice, seeing as how they were so close to dying a few days ago.
He just shoves all his anguish into a lockbox and focuses elsewhere with all his might, looking for a distraction that can help someone else he loves. This was perfect for him. He got to shift gears and ignore himself for awhile.

Somewhat unrelated, but seeing critical role grow like this, it's almost as if their life experiences culminated into this wonderful phenomenon. Like they found their purpose in life. It's wonderful watching them grow.
Damn seems Marisha/Beau knows how to plan a good date! Was a beautiful episode and I love the cuts and the Laura Bailey “Kissssssss” insert was perfect! I loved it
going into the date, i thought the ninjas were going to ruin it. i was so wrong. the fact they get to be happy and silly and IN LOVE makes me wanna CRY this was so beautiful
@@marisharaygun The ninja dogs, or "Shidoge", were merely the foreplay and the means to work up a good sweat so they could get soaked in the hot tub. The glitter dust is also a good enough excuse. Either way, they served their purpose.
The more I rewatch CR, the more I wish my players reacted like Travis does during a session. Like the satisfaction as a DM to see people react and emote to your game to that degree is always incredibly satisfying and makes you real happy
For a master of his craft Like Mat, to sit back and let someone else guide and DM the game and for the friends to trust, respect and enjoy each moment of the game, this is what D&D and why we love these people. Also, @Marisharaygun you've become for me at least, like something I must look for after each episode. Your work is phenomenal. So, thank you very much.
I have become SOOO attached to the recurring music Matt plays for encounters. Whenever it swells or hits those horns loudly and the cast acknowledges it, I just feel so happy. I'm glad he didnt change it from C1
Seeing that the date begins at 25 minutes, and that the video continues for another half hour is *EXACTLY* why, immediately after the stream ended, I rushed to comment on the last video about how excited I was about *this* video lmao
Everything about the date gave me nuclear waves of serotonin, one after the other. I couldn't stop smiling, I still can't. It was literally the first thing I thought about this morning, almost caused me to miss my bus cause I wanted to sleep in. 😂😂
Fav part is ofc the look on everyone's faces where Beau gives Caleb the list and he asks "why", because it's def about the dachshunds but everyone def thinks its a sex toy thing.
Laura frantically wanting them to kiss is a gigantic mood. I hope to visit Maximum Tit Alley one day. Edit: “Babe, I might need help with these ninjas” is a sentence I only hope to hear said to me in my lifetime.
I'm a big fan of how Beau and Yasha have been traveling together for months and faced death and danger countless times, and Yasha tried to kill Beau on more than one occasion, yet their first date is as awkward as a couple who met a day ago on Tinder 😂
I always say that I don't miss Molly, I never liked him that much and that I prefer Caduceus, but the one reason why I think he should be still alive for me is that I would love to see him interact with Yasha. She speaks so much and so good about him, and that's sad
Me being dead ass, I was standing, watching a different video of The Date on the TV in my living room and, shit you not, I fell on the floor. Because of that soft, little "Hey" from Ashley/Yasha.
Tbh I wish the episode name was “Kamordah Is For Lovers” because it’s such a good reference to Hawthorne Heights, and Ohio is for Lovers really fits Beau and Yasha’s relationship in the best possible way.
As a girl who likes girls (amongst other people), but has never managed to have a successful courtship with another woman, Beau and Yasha’s date felt So realistic, in those moments of awkwardness and emotional vulnerability. By far and away, this is one of my fav episodes of the Mighty Nein. ❤️
Something interesting that I had completely missed: at 41:45 ashley rubbing her engagement (?) ring. Love re-watching compilations for moments like this :D
I believe Ashley is awkward about romance scenes like Travis, she had to pull from somewhere and I believe that tick she does is her trying to pull from her relationship with Brian. So happy to see her break a comfort zone.
I'm not even kidding... I came back to watch ashleys scream at 49:35 multiple times now. I just cant stop. Its so glorious. bbrrraAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I love it :D
They bared it all: heart, body, and soul. Sentinel Babes becoming Sentinel Girlfriends. And lovers. It was THE perfect episode to consummate all the yearning and pining. The heartbreak and healing. The loss and love. I couldn't imagine this going any more perfectly for them. Beauregard Lionett. Yasha Nydoorin. Two souls, broken and damaged, yet still finding each other and coming closer, one step at a time. All it took was one night for it all to come to fruition. It was the perfect first date... and the perfect first night of the rest of their lives. *Together.*
28:10 I JUST REALIZED THERE ARE PETALS, FROM THEIR FIRST DATE, IN ZUALA'S GRAVE WITH THE BOOK AND I'M SOBBING AGAIN edit: no. one. is allowed to tell me. they go away with the tower. ok? ok
I’d say the petals are the same as the food served in the tower. They stay in existence after the tower fades as long as they’re in the “container” they’ve been placed in, so the petals would stay in the book. That’s how I’d rule it at least 👍
This was pure fucking serotonin. I, too, want a wizard for a wingman. Also lowkey I'm so happy to see Nott being all maternal/mom friend for Beau?? Ever since we've had Empire Siblings + Nott Is Caleb's Mom, and then even more after learning more about Beau's parents, I just wanted Nott to Mom both the Empire Sibs. Dream fulfilled
I love Liam's acting in this episode. From kidding around and the interaction with Marisha over the Tower, to his interaction with Sam over Caleb's past...gorram, yet again, does Liam show he can act. Literally, all I wanted to do was give Caleb a hug, because I know what it's like, struggling with events of deep pain and acts of utter and complete betrayal. It fucking hurts. There is no pain quite like it. And seeing Caleb confront it over the conflict of feelings he has about Astrid was so cathartic to watch. I can only hope that at some point, should I ever decide to DM a game, I can have a group of players who care about the story as much as this cast of people. Truly wonderful they are.
I feel like Matt is gonna do something crazy with Molly and have him come back for a moment. Just for one more interaction with everyone. Like when they defeat Lucien and maybe Molly’s soul is still buried deep in the body and comes back up for a second before the body is officially fully dead.
Dang it, I'm tearing up picturing it. You have to wonder, how much of Lucian is Molly, and how much is the Somnovum. If he'd never found the book, would he have turned out like Molly?
I'll admit. Most of the noises I made during this (and during the episode, too, lesbi-honest) were "eep" and "d'aawwww". I'm completely fine with that.
My thought too, but she still has the actual flower that Beau gave her. Plus - and I'm going to do some mental gymnastics here - obviously some things created by the spell can leave the tower. Specifically, when they eat food created by the tower, it's real food. Otherwise, as soon as they leave the tower, they would immediately be hungry when the food in their stomachs disappears. So it's possible Matt would handwave her taking one petal as ok. Alternatively, Caleb has a spell that lets him create various items, so I'm sure if she checks her book and finds it missing, she could ask him to craft one to replace it.
Artagan peeked in at the date, saw that moment and thought: "She deserves that happy memory." So he slipped out to where some real petals could be found and slipped them into the book.
THANK YOU. coming up with video titles is honestly the worst part for me, and this one was especially challenging (trying to avoid straight up spoilers) so i'm glad you appreciated it lol
thank you for these the segment names are great and it has all the important bits of an episode so its great if im not patient enough for a 4 hour video
There are sooo many things that I could say (all positive). The story telling ability this cast has, is the first thing; they have this ability to draw us in and keep us drawn in. I have a feeling this is the last arc but I don't want it to be LOL. I love Campaign 2!! Beau and Yasha's story is my favorite by far. The second thing is the community they built..that didn't sound right but I hope you all know what I meant. The Critical Role community is head and shoulders above the rest. 126 is my favorite episode by far because....cmon....3 years! Well worth the wait!!
I doubt it. They're only level 14, and after Lucian, they still have Ukatohah, the grove, Trent, and a few other potential baddies who could make a return, like the Chained Oblivion.

And everyone is just like, "What just happened?" And Marisha and Liam just smile at each otherXD

@@marisharaygun The ninja dogs, or "Shidoge", were merely the foreplay and the means to work up a good sweat so they could get soaked in the hot tub. The glitter dust is also a good enough excuse. Either way, they served their purpose.
The more I rewatch CR, the more I wish my players reacted like Travis does during a session. Like the satisfaction as a DM to see people react and emote to your game to that degree is always incredibly satisfying and makes you real happy
The date was almost an hour long but it felt like 10 minutes. I freaking loved it. I can’t wait for Thursday
For a master of his craft Like Mat, to sit back and let someone else guide and DM the game and for the friends to trust, respect and enjoy each moment of the game, this is what D&D and why we love these people. Also, @Marisharaygun you've become for me at least, like something I must look for after each episode. Your work is phenomenal. So, thank you very much.
I have become SOOO attached to the recurring music Matt plays for encounters. Whenever it swells or hits those horns loudly and the cast acknowledges it, I just feel so happy. I'm glad he didnt change it from C1
Seeing that the date begins at 25 minutes, and that the video continues for another half hour is *EXACTLY* why, immediately after the stream ended, I rushed to comment on the last video about how excited I was about *this* video lmao
“through the power of lesbianism anything is possible, so jot that down” WRITE THIS DOWN WRITE THIS DOWN
Travis’s expression changing to anger after Sam asks if he was still frozen was hilarious.
I am super glad that this included the brain fart moment Caleb had when going over Beau's list. "You makin me do wut now?"
the names for these segments are killing me, but the saga of the bowtie vendor had me rolling
Honestly hope Caleb is a wingman for all the dates in the MN. Imagine an adorable Fjordster date Aaaaaa
Thank you for all the work you put into these compilations! I always look forward to them
i'm glad you like them! seeing comments like this on my videos really makes my day, so thank you!
Marisha and Matt's wedding must've been incredible with those planning skills
ngl Ashley's smiles from 28:15 onwards added 10 years to my life
"That's the best thing I've ever heard" caught me up on all the serotonin I was missing this past year
Everything about the date gave me nuclear waves of serotonin, one after the other. I couldn't stop smiling, I still can't. It was literally the first thing I thought about this morning, almost caused me to miss my bus cause I wanted to sleep in. 😂😂
Fav part is ofc the look on everyone's faces where Beau gives Caleb the list and he asks "why", because it's def about the dachshunds but everyone def thinks its a sex toy thing.
Is it bad that the thing I've been looking forward to most is the segment names? I feel like it's a bad thing.
honestly i think it's a great thing because it means the time i spend going through and adding them in was worth it!
@@marisharaygun They're always great for a laugh, especially after the cascade of shit that is quarantine.
@@marisharaygun You do such a great job with them!
@@marisharaygun It always is. *applause*
Laura frantically wanting them to kiss is a gigantic mood. I hope to visit Maximum Tit Alley one day.
Edit: “Babe, I might need help with these ninjas” is a sentence I only hope to hear said to me in my lifetime.
Everytime they are in the tower, Liam is like "look at me, I am the DM now"
I'm a big fan of how Beau and Yasha have been traveling together for months and faced death and danger countless times, and Yasha tried to kill Beau on more than one occasion, yet their first date is as awkward as a couple who met a day ago on Tinder 😂
Everything about the tower in any form shows just how much love Caleb has for his friends.
I always say that I don't miss Molly, I never liked him that much and that I prefer Caduceus, but the one reason why I think he should be still alive for me is that I would love to see him interact with Yasha. She speaks so much and so good about him, and that's sad
I have a feeling Yasha will be key in the defeat/demise of Lucian. I'm hoping to see that interaction between the both of them.
I wonder if Molly knew about Zuala. If so, I bet he'd be really happy to see that Yasha's finally being able to move on and find love again.
That entire date was special, but those final touches of fireworks and the stained-glass window broke me into tears. This is what D&D is about.
You know after watching the talks with both Marisha and Ashley I am amazed Marisha didn’t fall off her chair with “that look”
Me being dead ass, I was standing, watching a different video of The Date on the TV in my living room and, shit you not, I fell on the floor. Because of that soft, little "Hey" from Ashley/Yasha.
Tbh I wish the episode name was “Kamordah Is For Lovers” because it’s such a good reference to Hawthorne Heights, and Ohio is for Lovers really fits Beau and Yasha’s relationship in the best possible way.
Wait, why is it Kamordah? Aren't they in Rexxentrum?
@@littlefurnace They are but Yasha realised she was in love with Beau when they went to Beau’s hometown, Kamordah
@@tbugmurphy Yes i know that, but i still don't really get why the title is about Kamordah, just isn't really relevant to the episode as a whole.
@@littlefurnace I was mainly making a reference to a song, that’s all.
Matt: "Because why the fuck not." Is one hell of a mood.
An hour of highlights, not one of em misplaced. You're doing amazing stuff with these compilations
Liam adding such wonderful flare and love to the date’s plan and surprising Ashley and Marisha always makes me cryyyyy 😭
Caleb. My man. Best wingman ever. My heart melted during the date
Liam should write a book and narrate it, because whatever it was about him narrating that date just made me feel at peace
Honestly the names of your timestamps are a great and hilarious story all in their own right, I live for these highlight videos.
i just love the fact that matt allows yasha to use her wings bc it makes it just thattttt much better
As a girl who likes girls (amongst other people), but has never managed to have a successful courtship with another woman, Beau and Yasha’s date felt So realistic, in those moments of awkwardness and emotional vulnerability. By far and away, this is one of my fav episodes of the Mighty Nein. ❤️
Something interesting that I had completely missed: at 41:45 ashley rubbing her engagement (?) ring. Love re-watching compilations for moments like this :D
I believe Ashley is awkward about romance scenes like Travis, she had to pull from somewhere and I believe that tick she does is her trying to pull from her relationship with Brian. So happy to see her break a comfort zone.
@@BBoyShadowStep Did not age well.
I'm not even kidding... I came back to watch ashleys scream at 49:35 multiple times now. I just cant stop. Its so glorious. bbrrraAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I love it :D
pov: the barbarian with like a 7 charisma goes on a date
I canNOT wait to see the date caleb plans for him and essek
They bared it all: heart, body, and soul.
Sentinel Babes becoming Sentinel Girlfriends. And lovers.
It was THE perfect episode to consummate all the yearning and pining. The heartbreak and healing. The loss and love. I couldn't imagine this going any more perfectly for them.
Beauregard Lionett. Yasha Nydoorin. Two souls, broken and damaged, yet still finding each other and coming closer, one step at a time.
All it took was one night for it all to come to fruition.
It was the perfect first date... and the perfect first night of the rest of their lives. *Together.*
Adam, well said. I love their story. I love all of their stories but theirs is my favorite.
And Ninjas
28:10 I JUST REALIZED THERE ARE PETALS, FROM THEIR FIRST DATE, IN ZUALA'S GRAVE WITH THE BOOK AND I'M SOBBING AGAIN
edit: no. one. is allowed to tell me. they go away with the tower. ok? ok
I’d say the petals are the same as the food served in the tower. They stay in existence after the tower fades as long as they’re in the “container” they’ve been placed in, so the petals would stay in the book. That’s how I’d rule it at least 👍
I might have teared up quite a few times during the date. What a wonderful moment these two brilliantly talented actors brought us.
This was pure fucking serotonin. I, too, want a wizard for a wingman.
Also lowkey I'm so happy to see Nott being all maternal/mom friend for Beau?? Ever since we've had Empire Siblings + Nott Is Caleb's Mom, and then even more after learning more about Beau's parents, I just wanted Nott to Mom both the Empire Sibs. Dream fulfilled
Liam: you don't understand I walk away
Me: Vax?
As someone who doesn’t have a ton of time to watch an entire episode of cr, I really appreciate your more condensed highlights. The length is perfect
For some reason the thing that got me most about the NordVPN segment was Matts wheeze getting cut off
I didn't catch Laura Bailey telling them to kiss the first time. She's all of us.
I love Liam's acting in this episode. From kidding around and the interaction with Marisha over the Tower, to his interaction with Sam over Caleb's past...gorram, yet again, does Liam show he can act.
Literally, all I wanted to do was give Caleb a hug, because I know what it's like, struggling with events of deep pain and acts of utter and complete betrayal. It fucking hurts. There is no pain quite like it. And seeing Caleb confront it over the conflict of feelings he has about Astrid was so cathartic to watch.
I can only hope that at some point, should I ever decide to DM a game, I can have a group of players who care about the story as much as this cast of people. Truly wonderful they are.
My cheeks kinda hurt now from smiling for nearly an hour straight
I feel like Matt is gonna do something crazy with Molly and have him come back for a moment. Just for one more interaction with everyone. Like when they defeat Lucien and maybe Molly’s soul is still buried deep in the body and comes back up for a second before the body is officially fully dead.
Dang it, I'm tearing up picturing it. You have to wonder, how much of Lucian is Molly, and how much is the Somnovum. If he'd never found the book, would he have turned out like Molly?
This comment aged well
I had the biggest gay panic ever the entire date long
I'll admit.
Most of the noises I made during this (and during the episode, too, lesbi-honest) were "eep" and "d'aawwww".
I'm completely fine with that.
53:27 time is a weird soup confirmed.
Got to this one a little late. Can we get some love for Liam’s happy dachshund faces? :)
yasha taking the magic pettels hurt my heart cause when they leave the tower they will disappear
Oh no, I forgot about that... Ow, now my heart hurts
My thought too, but she still has the actual flower that Beau gave her.
Plus - and I'm going to do some mental gymnastics here - obviously some things created by the spell can leave the tower. Specifically, when they eat food created by the tower, it's real food. Otherwise, as soon as they leave the tower, they would immediately be hungry when the food in their stomachs disappears. So it's possible Matt would handwave her taking one petal as ok.
Alternatively, Caleb has a spell that lets him create various items, so I'm sure if she checks her book and finds it missing, she could ask him to craft one to replace it.
Artagan peeked in at the date, saw that moment and thought: "She deserves that happy memory." So he slipped out to where some real petals could be found and slipped them into the book.
Too much greatness to shorten. Love the additions of your thoughts here and there.
The title of this video is beautiful
THANK YOU. coming up with video titles is honestly the worst part for me, and this one was especially challenging (trying to avoid straight up spoilers) so i'm glad you appreciated it lol
Yasha talking about how she keeps everybody alive:
The clerics: :/
Well Jester barely heals anyone, and Cadeuces keeps dying all the time.
This episode basically sums up with one sentence: Matt Mercer's wife lesbian fantasy, and I love it
I didn't realize how much Yasha's inability to smell would make me think of Over the Hedge.
Thank you for giving this episode, the best episode ever, the love and care it deserved.
Am I really gonna be the first one to say it?
Okay then.
Ahem.
LET'S GO LESBIANS, LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"TURNING THE CORNER WITH A BUNCH OF LESBIANS!"
I made the meme on @nerdycraftswitholive on instagram if anyone wants to see it
I added the npcs also
I enjoy watching these highlight videos so much! It's like rewatching the episode, but magically fresh again. I enjoy it all over again.
literally LOVE these, thank you so much for making these video highlights
glad you like them!!
thank you for these the segment names are great and it has all the important bits of an episode so its great if im not patient enough for a 4 hour video
Matt's face is everything. He is instigating so much lol. I love it!!
Fancy Jester's hello almost as good as Awkward Yasha's hello. Both comedy gold.
Ikr.
when will I stop re-watching this episode? place your bets now
these timestamp titles are giving me life. my reactions feel so validated
Thanks much, it’s nice to see your closeups. Often it’s difficult to focus when I’m looking everywhere.
Sadly the comments are no longer 69 due to me.
how could you
I want Caleb to organise my wedding
I feel like Caleb missed his true calling as either an architect or an event planner
You out here doing the Lord's work, love u
There are sooo many things that I could say (all positive). The story telling ability this cast has, is the first thing; they have this ability to draw us in and keep us drawn in. I have a feeling this is the last arc but I don't want it to be LOL. I love Campaign 2!! Beau and Yasha's story is my favorite by far. The second thing is the community they built..that didn't sound right but I hope you all know what I meant. The Critical Role community is head and shoulders above the rest.
126 is my favorite episode by far because....cmon....3 years! Well worth the wait!!
I doubt it. They're only level 14, and after Lucian, they still have Ukatohah, the grove, Trent, and a few other potential baddies who could make a return, like the Chained Oblivion.
@@cryofpaine I hope you are right. Soooooooo hope so
