    Infiltration successful! Now what? *Spoilers:*
    0:25 Title Card
    0:31 She did her best, Bob!
    0:55 Poking the Owlbear
    1:16 Professor Anna Scrib's Office
    1:43 Hey, Adam, worldbuild for us right now
    2:02 Quick! Cutaway!
    2:30, 18:33 NPC D&D out of context
    2:34 Guess that gamertag isn't so lazy after all, eh, Alan? It's now steeped in lore!
    2:51 Plane or Planet?
    3:04 *Professor Anna Scrib*
    3:51 Rowan has photos of Prof Anna Scrib on his phone? What would Stephanie think? How is Stephanie, by the way? Still being tortured and/or murdered?
    4:06 "I'm becoming my mother" nightmares come to life
    4:33-4:58, 6:55-7:25, 10:25-10:51, 14:13-14:53, 18:38-19:16, 23:15-23:44, 29:34-30:11 Let's see that again, *in character!*
    4:58 Mommy! Momma! Mom! Mother! Mum! Mumma! Ma! Mama....
    5:11 "Friends" is a *strong* word
    5:42 So close....
    6:13, 8:25 "My mother and I have no secrets"
    6:43 *HINT, HINT, YOU FOOLS*
    7:37 Thanks for the warning, "High Sorcerer"!
    8:14 For once, Bodger remembers, and it is *glorious*
    8:57 Baradun keeping that low profile
    9:24 Clem rolls Insight for her Mum
    9:43 Uh oh
    10:55 When someone betrays Baradun, he doesn't stop trusting people, he just trusts the next person even more! Eventually, he has to wind up trusting someone actually trustworthy!
    12:00 Just like a real political leader!
    13:16 Bob carrying enough trust issues for all of them
    13:53 Three months ago, Bob was a drunk passed out in a puddle, today he has an Eldritch God in his brain
    14:38 Time is a weird soup
    14:50 Britt breaks
    16:01 We return now to Professor Anna Scrib's mental breakdown
    17:13 Who are you, and what have you done with Bodger?
    17:27 But wait! There's more!
    18:08 Why start now?
    18:52 Style is suffering
    19:00 Bob now canonically has only one ear
    19:19 What kind of name is "Robert" for a student of the arcane?
    19:47 Oh? Oh! Oh. Oh....
    20:05 Epic NPC Man reference
    20:15 What *did* we say before "under the radar"?
    20:38 JUDGEMENT
    21:17 *Secondary Quest Select:*
    _Slay Dragon for Sandana Family_
    _Root out Smuggling Operation for Eldrin Family_
    21:46 And the gambling addict says
    22:08 Rich People, amiright?
    22:28 They're probing into my past, but I think I was able to safely avert suspicion
    22:48 The Five Families of Rich @$$holes (good job, Rob!)
    23:00 There's the Bodger we know & love!
    24:35 Oh, right, the Prophecy
    25:20 Surely the fate of the entire world wouldn't rest on the shoulders of a group of low-level adventurers with attitude, right?
    26:23, 34:40 Rob. She *HAS* to stay.
    26:40 "Killa Dragun (Uh Uh)" by Bodger Blodger & the Dickheads ft Clem Scrib
    27:02 There's two kinds of dragons:
    Dragons who *may* kill you
    Dragons who *will* kill you
    27:25 Coming soon to a combat encounter near you!
    27:47 This definitely ties into your character lore, right?
    28:31 And that's exactly how it happens
    29:01, 33:32 Let's Dungeon some Dragons!
    29:12 Why's Rob got that look?
    30:14 That could not have been more perfect if they scripted it
    30:58 We're Level 9! We're basically unstoppable!

    Thinking of Baradun being public with his identity, will there be any repercussions for them having a play written by the world's most famous playwright Shake-spear, who was actively touring? The 10 minute musical number "I'm Bardun, who's totally alive after Laethil took my powers" might give Laethil a clue if he ever sees it.

    Like, one of the main important quest givers. He has probably introduced himself as High Sorcerer Baradun to *_SO MANY_* players.
    He just has this impulse to introduce himself as High Sorcerer Baradun, and not only that but he also has this urge to do so much exposition and that's because it's *_PART OF HIS PROGRAMMING!_*

      Baradun is a player that knows it is just a game. That is the reason why he is doing 4th wall breaks so often.
      Bob does it too, but we don't really know if he is a player or a NPC program going rogue (pun intended). This is also why we can actually suspect that he might be the bbeg or at least having to choose sides at the end.

      Pretty sure you mean that Baradun is an NPC that knows it is just a game.

      @@chrzonszcz9789 I think they might have said something about Baradun being a trapped player in the descent into Avernes campaign, but they retconned it back to Baradun’s original story of being an NPC.
      Rob read out the Baradun back story Adam gave him on one of the behind the screen streams (the one covering the Kalothac reveal actually) and the end note mentioned Baradun knowing that this was just his CODED back story and he never actually lived it. Coded means he has to be an NPC.
      Plus Baradun is shown to start be the NPC who gives the main quest line, which means if he wasn’t originally there when they made the game it wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense.

    i get the feeling that the Dragon's story is more complicated than it seems. Perhaps a rival family, maybe even the Bladesongs, put the Dragon up to it and the "worker" that gets taken has information on future shipments. The weekly attack is a distraction to get the guards looking in the wrong direction, while items are being smuggled in. However the story turns out, this is is and has been an Awesome adventure. Great job Rob and crew!

Watch they'll triumph over Leathil, the Dark Lands, Baradun regains his powers and becomes High Sorcerer again, they're all epic heroes....annnnd, in the epilogue they are now under the power of Zybilna / Tasha (as in from "Tasha's Cauldron of Everything"). It would make sense as to why she did so much to help them, besides moving the plot forward!

Hmm, they could have done an entire subplot on how she's actually Whatsits biological mum (though that'd probably take the plot completely off the rails). 😆 She may be grateful, but she definitely senses an opportunity, having learned their real names. Heck, they even green-screened the foreshadowing. It may come to nothing, but it would be a great future plot. Perhaps when they start up the women's D&D Campaign (which I think Clem will be at the forefront as Britt has put a lot of work into her), they'll have a quest where they have to save Baradun and the Dickheads from Tasha's power. 🤔
