#and Imogen and FCG were basically running damage control

For anyone confused why the BH are mad at Ashton and feel betrayed it’s because he lied to all of them and almost died -actually did die twice. And because the group does love them, and had to watch them die and suffer for a whole minute*.

Also Laudna has a lot of trauma, from all the bullying, to the being invited to a nice dinner and being brutally murdered, all the abuse from the evil necromancer in her head -probably more the after 2. Having to deal with whatever horrors the past 30 year have brought her. The past few months being just a lot. Healing and recovery are not often linear, and regression happens -especially after being thrust into an intense situation in the place of one of your greatest traumas and the return of your worst abuser.

On short everyone’s really in their emotions because things weren’t properly communicated and then there was unexpected grave danger.

*Meta imo this is compounded watching a player make effectively death saved for ten rounds like I try not too read into things too much but imo it played at least a small role in nailing down the feeling of “why did you do that?! Wtf?! You’re ours! You can’t lie and then die! FFS!!!”
