Long Haired Essek

All of that shopping and no one thought to tell Bells Hells that the most important item for a trip to Eiselcross and Aeor is a ring of fire resistance

Sorry for being MIA I’ve been busy with school 🥲

I rise from the ashes because we got shadowgast content and this is super rough but is part of a longer thing I'm working on

In familiar practised motions, Essek draws his hands together and then apart, drawing energy between them ready to catch his words. “Caleb, I have activated the Tower. Your company would be welcome, we should talk. I have information both expected and not,” says Essek, voice soft in the room. There are no watchers, he confirmed that earlier, but years of habit are hard to break. He’s aware there are but a few words left of his allowance and can feel the thrum of it still waiting. And then, he adds, “You are missed, Liebling.” He releases the magic and feels it hover for a moment, and then it’s gone, snaking its way across the miles to the intended recipient. At least this time he is sure it will arrive, with the communications being restored and working again. He still feels lingering unease at all those weeks when messages fizzled out, when scrying failed to find its target, when he could only be sure of what was in front of him and what he could find with his own two feed. While he waits for the response—staying for now, on this plane (there is no need to test the stability of sending right now)—he pulls silver thread from his component pouch and dutifully threads it around the room. He doubts the Hells will disturb him, but he would still like to be warned about it. As he ties it off and sets the ward, he feels the swirl of dunamis a moment before it hits the back of his throat and Caleb’s voice enters his mind. I am relieved to hear from you. I… may take a little while until I can get away but I will be there. Don’t wait up. Essek chuckles at the last words and can imagine the look on Caleb’s face as he says them. It’s an old refrain between them, one born of habit and familiarity across many late nights and moments where one waits for the other, despite the fact Essek does not sleep and Caleb sleeps too much at tables and on couches.

The Mighty Nein as textposts 56/???

[bippusmymippus]

Ohhhh no. The flaming bird. The flaming bird next to the engraving of uk’otoa in the temple. That flaming bird.

Ok so uk’otoa is probably out. That’s. Bad. Bet he’s pissed he went to all that trouble with Fjord when he could’ve just waited a few years.

He can't escape their love and friendship

[humanbeanisnotamused]

I'd love to know how they knew astrid was hiding at the porn shop.

did she leave caleb a forwarding address for EMERGENCIES. ONLY.

did someone happen to walk into chastity's nook, see a new store assistant and go *points* ASTRID

did caleb just. know, because deep deep down astrid is exactly the same kind of utterly ridiculous person as he is

I know sooo much stuff went down and there is a lot that needs to be unpacked with this episode. However, is everyone just going to ignore the fact that a GIANT FIREBIRD aka the Dark Phoenix Desirat is free! That the Mighty Nein are probably dealing with it right now!?!? And if the bird is free does that mean the worm is free too?!?!

[writeroffantasy03]

So, I’ve been thinking about the black and purple bird from last episode (there was a lot going on in that episode so it got kind of lost in my brain for a few days).

The bird is definitely Asmodeus’ flying mount, right? And also the same bird inscribed on the mural in the temple of Uk'otoa. Which means if the bird is released, and there were three creatures on the mural… maybe Uk’otoa and the worm (the servant of the Crawling King?) are also released??

ALSO Yussa is missing again. Did Halas get out of the crystal? Will we get a rescue one-shot with the Mighty Nein?

So much is happening and changing on Exandria right now. It’s pret-ty cool.
