  • Who knew that the Oxventurer's Guild could teach us about the Salem witch hunts in such a profound manner. History truly is magical.
    Remember folks, a vote to abstain is a vote for the wicker man!

      Honestly I imagine prudence doing everything with great and terrible majesty - buttering her toast, committing atrocities, petting a cat

      @@CaitlinRC In place of a sandwich you will have toast! Not burnt but buttery and crispy as the leaves! As gluten filled as the freshest of baking! Better with coffee than the most filling of bagels! All shall love my breakfast and despair! -Presumably Prudence every morning whenever one of the cultist asks what she is having for breakfast.

    Cthulhu's judgement of Dob and Merilwen feels deeply unjustified- Prudence brings the evil vibes, sure, but it's usually those two that take care of chaos and atrocities. Honestly, if you can't trust Eldritch Horrors from darkness beyond to judge you fairly, then who can you trust!?
    Great video, love the addition of Claudia Winkleman's hair:D

      Obviously Prudence. You see how she had no delay in her response when Cthulhu asked her if she wanted the Oxventurers slain or when she was offered the choice between the party and her powers. There's someone you can really trust your life with. (I seem to also recall it implied that Prudence had been with other parties before they tragically met their untimely demise.) Sure, some people say she Eldritch blasted her mentor off a cliff (some people including Prudence here) but it was probably a difficult time and some events may have been oversold. He probably just tripped. Then again, perhaps Cthulhu's moral scale is non-Euclidean so they somehow end up near the morally pure side by going all the way around.
