Since I'm on a putting thoughts out there note already, I have to say that the thing that gets me the most about episode 114 is that if feels a little bit like Sam's true and final conversion to D&D.

There's a tense (they're all tense by that point but extra lmao) moment maybe an hour before THE moment where Sam says, "Liam, thanks for introducing me to Dungeons and Dragons. [Do you like it?] I'm beginning to like it." and it's full sarcasm, but it hits a little different.

And then you have that 4th counterspell and Sam's reaction a minute later which is DEVASTATING and just. I don't know. It's easy to downplay Sam's investment because he's often such a comic relief character, even in the serious moments, both with Scanlan and Tary, but that moment just... It hits HARD. And you watch it unfold one moment at a time. Fucking kills me.

And then when it comes back at the end of the episode too and idk. Maybe its just watching it as a person still working through the messy middle bits of my own first campaign, but it really comes home. The level of buy-in is unreal.

So much love. That made the whole episode for me. That brought the whole thing home. What an incredible moment. Arc. Reaction. Deal. All of it. AGH.

Sam just... 10/10. Absolutely blown away.

Scanlan used a 9th-level counterspell to defeat Vecna and, in doing so, was unable to save Vax, in campaign 1 episode 114. In campaign 3 episode 114, he was able to free the beacon from the machine keeping Vax imprisoned and finally save him

adaine being a war caster, spell sniper, mage slayer, wizard with a sword as an arcane focus and a signature spell of punch you into the stratosphere. everything to me.

bludgeoned somebody to death on her first day of high school, killed her dad in one punch, way too excited to be given a gun and get a go on the cannons.

she would have done numbers as a werewolf.

he's a wizard. he's mind controlled. he has no wisdom. he's made sacrifices to be nothing but intelligent. he's on the security detail. he got his teeth rocked into his mouth cavity. he hates horses. he's colin. he's conor counterspell.

Peak wizard episode for Adaine, nothing more wizard than inadvertently unleashing the ancient sealed Horrors(TM) because you were so intensely focused on understanding the arcane mystery and then successfully Counterspelling a god.
