• 00:41:41 I have made you. I have given you martial prowess, I’ve offered you magic to serve my aims. Perhaps it is my fault for not telling you the stakes. There is a being, a beast, a monster that followed my siblings. This thing followed them, chased them, and threatens to return. I have no love for the Spider Queen or her working, but she fights now to defend her life. And i serve life and death. That means so do you. Morrighan Ferus, why are you fighting, and what are you fighting for?..
  You are no abomination, Opal, when she agreed to wear the vestige, she knew or didn’t consider what that would entail. I have not asked that of you yet. It is a conversation. What she agreed to, she agreed to. So you have a choice to make. I can tell you. Should I tell you?
  Run! This is not where you die! I did not make you mine to fall here.
• 00:49:45 Aabria:“Do I want to be mean?”

  SQ:“That’s definitely not true.” a spider minion immediately kills Cyrus Wyvernwing.
• 01:45:53 If you watch closely, you can see Robbie’s eyes flash right under the brim of his hat in a cool-looking way. The beginning of Dorian Storm’s revenge arc.
• 01:47:07 Mic Drop Moment SQ:“Well, at least they know it wasn’t your fault because you decided to run your fucking mouth.”
  Matt:(exhales)
  Even through it all, you cannot help but hear the shake in her voice.
• 01:49:54 Matt does the Hastag Blessed Jutsu
• 01:51:27 Fan Art Moment Morrighan’s brutal revenge kill on the spider that killed Cyrus.
• 01:52:33 “…and I look over to the dick gems…”

• 01:54:10 Morrighan:“I want you to know that no matter what you do here, you can always come back. No matter what. I know you don’t mean it and I know you’ll never ever be her abomination.”
  Opal:“Sorry.”
  Morrighan:“You don’t need to be, this is bigger than all of us.”
• 01:55:12 Erica:“There’s so much blood and it’s all over the dick gems.”
  Aabria:“Please take inspiration.”
• 01:57:03 *As you turn your back on Opal, taking with you the dick gems and the sense that there is some part of her the Spider Queen will never take away from her.

  Aimee:"Now entering: Fy’ra Rai (great impression!)
• 02:19:13 Fy’ra:“No, I have a sister to walk beside.”
• 02:23:49 SQ:“You are aware of the danger. Do you know what she’s up against? What your goddess is up against. Ludinus doesn’t know. He is a petulant child.”
• 02:25:25 You are locked in a moment with the Spider Queen, a long one. In the time that you have known them, you knew that she’d circled your friends, finding her way in through the vestige you all found. Though you were not there when it was found, you were part. Who to tempt? Who to bring over? The Spider Queen is many things, but not a fool, and she knew better than to bark up your particular tree too hard. But she is Rattled. You know that all of this, the death and destruction and compulsion is from someone with no other recourse. Who calls themself a god and what happens when that pride is shaken; When mortality is back on the table? You are looking a woman in the eye and she needs all the friends she can get.
• 02:32:03 Opal:“If we see another side to this, I’m going to call you a cunt with my whole chest.”

• 02:42:42 Dorian:"I want revenge, Dariax, badly. Do you think you can take revenge against the universe? Do you think you can fight back against gods and monsters?
• 02:46:46 Dorian gives Dariax his lute and Cyrus’ favorite cup and sets him up in a good spot to make a living as a busker. Then he turns away, drops his smile, casts invisibility and leaves to find the Tempest.
• 02:48:19 Aimee:“He left us. He left us!” Jurassic Park reference
