You know, with the fact that Ryn went and got herself petrified within a day of finding out just how willing the Ruby Vanguard are to fuck a wizard up, I do think that, while the bar is very low, Essek (as he is during the course of the campaign) really does deserve some credit for never ending up in such a self-imposed pickle that he needed his allied party to show up and save him from himself. In fact, the only time the Nein directly felt the need to worry about him was when Caleb put him in danger without thinking through certain connections that would be made, and even then, that was more of Caleb feeling guilt-ridden about it than actual worrying.
And to be very clear, Essek absolutely was and still to this day in canon is in a massive, self-imposed pickle, but when it actually comes down to it, the Nein were pretty tangential and superfluous to navigating that, and he's predominantly doing the work himself.
#anyway justice for essek thelyss's wisdom score. ๐#I do think it's higher than one would expect.#look at both caleb and percy. no shoddy wisdom scores there! still touch things that really should not be touched.#sometimes high intelligence just overrules the wisdom score and that's all there is to it.#like! essek would have just peaced if he was found out!#hilariously he even like. asks very little of the nein on behalf of the court in the course of being their handler.#they mostly do the most buckwild shit and he just teleports them around.#gave them a house and some pretty chill work through waccoh and then like. mostly let them bop around wherever lmao#barely asked questions about wtf they were up to#tbt when they were like 'yeah can you teleport us to a dragon in the middle of the arctic' and he was like 'you're insane but sure lol.'#this is not serious do not come whine to me about it. I do not wanna hear it. I have to go back to writing now I just had the thought.#critical role#essek thelyss#cr spoilers#(for ryn mention lol)
