#The mighty nein

Do not baby-ify Caduceus Clay. Do not make Caduceus into a soft uwu non-violent baby. Caduceus is wise. He is calm. He enjoys being a caretaker.

He is not a pacifist. Caduceus regularly gets irritated in fights to the point that he deliberately saps the strength of their enemies. He capsized a boat without thinking about it. He watched someone stab Fjord through the heart with a sword and decided the best response was to have ethereal beetles consume the flesh of the things that did it. He reduces their enemies to nothing but their bones frequently. He makes sure their bodies are consumed by bugs and fungus.

Caduceus is wise, and yes, he is frequently calm. He's also someone who surrounds himself with death, he's someone who will not take threats against the people he loves lightly, and he's someone who is willing and able to use the inherent violence of nature to his advantage.

The Mighty Nein really are the “tonight we cancel the apocalypse” party, because that is the attitude of the patently insane and patently hypercompetent in ways that are too insane to be real and yet WORK. VM have Big Justice League energy. They’re saving the world by the book. They’re very much the epitome of their classes. This is not a knock. They are good at what they do, but their flair is extremely straightforward. Percy is gonna shoot fifty times a round. Keyleth is gonna archdruid her little heart out. Grog’s gonna smash. Scanlan is gonna sing a little song. That’s them! We like that for them! But it is very straightforward clock in/clock out heroism. They have day jobs now.

I’m not gonna be unfair to BH right now because I think they haven’t really figured out their niche yet and are constantly stuck in the mindset of not actually being heroes and being, and I say this out of love for their stupid little faces, selfish little turds. We might get a better idea later on when we come back to them as high level adventurers after how they shake out here, but so far they’re somewhere in the middle. A little Suicide Squad-y.

The M9 on the other hand are not clock in/clock out heroes. They’re barely heroes. They get told something could be a threat and they deal with it and they won’t just kill you, they will EMBARRASS you. They will act like you’re nothing and bet on fight outcomes mid-combat, call you names, hit you with lollipops and dicks, turn you into a fruit bat, whatever they have to. They’ll ruin your action economy, stun you, whatever. Not only did they come to stop you, you’ll be shamed so hard that your Lich won’t even want to rise again to seek vengeance because you know they’ll do it again. They’re canceling the apocalypse not because the one doing it is dead, but because they’re so demoralized there’s no gong forward. When the Mighty Nein come for your plans, your plans DO NOT survive because they’ve had dicks drawn all over them.

Knowing what I know now about Caleb's backstory, it really reframes him being the one to insist on the Nein spending their first night in Eiselcross outside with no dome or tower.

Like Caleb knows exactly what its like to have to struggle to stay warm and wants his friends to be prepared for that.

And maybe part of the reason he wanted to tap out early was that it was too reminiscent of Trent's tower.
