We’re back, and you made it, finally, to the truth, that the ruins that you were seeking was actually the city of Niirdal-Poc, buried, hidden, secret, within the center of the Rifenmist Peninsula. You made your way through, you found a friend, and now the six of you stand in front of a massive statue known as The Observer, as Dariax has a bit of a moment.
You feel yourself swoon, but you’re able to hold your consciousness within you. As you look up and you cannot help but see this face, staring at the light within its hands, tilts down, ever so slightly, and regards you.
Her hand opens, releasing that light, and you see that shattered halo-- one of (the rest of) you see this-- fill itself back in valences of light, the same thing replicated on the pendant that you wear around your neck.

• 01:57:08 You know that this main civic hall is actually just on the far side of the plaza. It faces this massive statue. So, you are essentially where you need to be.
  And you see this massive edifice, once again of that same smooth, gray-green concrete, like a massive snifter of brandy, standing, bulbous, in the town plaza. In front of it are two massive, purple, porphyry statues of four-legged creatures that look like a panther on steroids, with three faces, one looking up, one looking down, and one looking out and away from the doors and over the top, that same runic writing…
• 02:08:20 Dariax:“…figure out what this symbology means…” Correct usage, as opposed to the famous Boondock Saints scene.
• 02:17:17 Opal:“So, I call bullshit. I think we’re just at the whim of whoever controls the power.”
• 02:18:57 Aimee’s facial reaction and voice choking at the reveal of the vision of Opal’s mother.
• 02:41:31 As the tetrarch makes her request, Matt puts a hand over his heart.
  Tetrarch Thrascuur:“Then I do have a request. If something is coming, if this place is meant for change, growth, destruction, discovery, whatever it is, please remember it, carry it with you. I don’t want, after all this time, for this to end here and now, forgotten. You, so long-lived, please carry us with you. That’s all I would ask. I’m going to look at the stars for myself for the future and the past, I observe and I remember. You may stay with me. You may move on, out, up, away. It is you who must decide what happens next but I will treasure the time I have spent with you for as long as I have.”
  And they move towards that device, reseat the mirror back into place and begin gazing down into it and quickly lose themselves to gazing upward at the stars."
• 02:50:03 Aabria:“I’m just trying to figure out what you’re doing because I’m about to do something fun and I’m trying to make sure you feel self-actualized before I knock you the fuck out.”
  Matt:“That’s my opening to any confrontation going forward. I’m just giving you a moment to self-actualize before I knock you the fuck out.”
• 02:50:52 Liam:“Caleb is…shit!”
• 02:58:12 Will Ferrell Old School Tranquilizer Dart Scene
• 03:00:55 Robbie:“So, is a lower d20 or higher better?”
  Aabria:“Guess we’ll find out.”
  Robbie:“Fuck!” [rolls] “No, we won’t. Ten.”
• 03:07:37 Yo, here’s the thing. Sexual dimorphism in animals is such an important thing that you can turn into a male animal if it’s cooler. If you want to turn into a peacock, you don’t have to turn into a peahen because you’re feminine. Those birds suck. Be the cool one that’s pretty…
  Anyway, we can talk about gender and what Wild Shape is at literally any other time, but the rest of you that are just beginning to take off, you’re still in this central plaza.
  And then all of a sudden, you hear a low rumble and a creak. And you look over, and the remnants of a magical spell being cast glimmer purple as they wash over those two massive porphyry statues of the three headed meat beast, call it a Bandersnatch, as they slowly begin to come to life under an Animate Object spell, as someone else in this fight who defies being seen right now has taken their action.
  And there are now two more combatants in the fray.
• 03:08:03 Matt realizes the predicament of the proximity of his microphone and the cup he has to spit the ice back into.
• 03:09:27 Liam:“…newly-dubbed Sentinel Shield…”
• 03:12:50 Ashley:“Attack the rules!”
• 03:14:31 Fan Art Moment Opal’s Pink Word of Radiance cast while regaining consciousness and being kidnapped.
• 03:16:05 Fan Art Moment Liam:“A little Risky Business.” (regarding Dariax’s sliding/drifting around a corner)
  Aabria:“Yeah. Your pants are gone for some reason, but you’re wearing a button-down.”
  (⌐■_■)
• 03:22:56 Aabria:“Sweet, you ran in between them before they had fully moved out and away from the frame of this big building. So, the one that you pushed actually slams into the side of the building just a little bit. and you see this nub tail that’s carved onto its butt, hits it and ships and shatters and it falls off. so it’s missing, like, twelve percent of it’s donk off of that.”
  Robbie:“Thunderclap that booty?”
  Aabria:“There it is! Inspiration for a little nonsense.”
• 03:26:24 Aabria:"Some guy’s like, “My Cabbages!”
• 03:27:52 Fan Art moment Fy’ra jumping onto Fearne in dire wolf form and shouting, “Ride (or Dash in a Michigander accent)!”
• 03:42:25 Quickie improvisational dialogue between Dariax, disguised as Opal, and Dorian.
• 04:01:31 Matt’s “damsel in distress” noise as Opal.
• 04:09:33 Matt:“Hehehehehe. Burned it’s junk.”
• 04:10:06 Robbie ties to say penis quietly so nobody notices.
• 04:17:56 Fan Art Moment Aabria:“And Opal is a full nightmare on your back.” (talking to Fearne in Dire Wolf form)
• 04:18:45 Aabria does the John Cena “Can’t see me” handwave.
• 04:25:15 Ashley:(barks)
• 04:30:30 Cool’s Rules (Tabletop alteration of Blue’s Clues)
• 04:30:57 Fan Art Moment Opal shouting “See you next Thursday” in Elvish while holding a severed head and riding a running dire wolf (Fearne)
• 04:36:24 With the fading adrenaline and the superhuman effort of Theodora “Ted” surpassing it’s limit, Opal loses her magical abilities.
• 04:38:22 Fy’ra Rai is compelled to leave, but passes a final message to Dorian:“I know you know, little brother. I know you remember. You made a choice once. You thought you were unrecognized, unloved. Something drove you to a terrible choice, and you were willing to risk anything because you thought it was better to be alone.
  I am here to tell you, it is never better to be alone.
  Stay with your family. Not all family is blood. Much family is chosen. I cannot protect you again. Only you can do it this time. Stay in the light, yes?”
• 04:40:41 Fy’ra, you were brought so far into their orbit the first time, and then back again, and you’ve led them for weeks, and across countless miles, through danger and discomfort, to get back here. And though you feel the pull, that thrill of duty, and dread, and excitement, and fear, and wonder at the truth that your sister is alive and out there, you know in your heart that this isn’t the end. You were brought to them.
  They were chosen, but so were you, and this isn’t the end of your time with them. And you know, more than anything else, with the wisdom that is dawning on you, that gives you a sense of perspective, almost like you’re looking down from the skies, that this next part, they must do alone. And then, when the time is right again, you’ll return, come back together for some great and terrible purpose, and in that knowledge, you slink back through the fog, and are quickly lost to darkness, out of Niirdal-Poc, through the jungles, and towards her, your sister, alive and waiting.
• 04:42:57 Ashley:“Bad bitches can cry! See you next Thursday!”
• 04:43:50 A liminal darkness.
  A place between places where she has been alone for so long, waiting for that little bit of glimmering light that is her sister. And yet she hears the echo’s footfalls, impossibly loud, slow, methodical, approach her and swirling into her field of vision, a woman wreathed with purple energy, smiling, grinning, baring her teeth at her.
  “I’ve been looking for you for so long. And I’m so close, and I will burn the world apart to have you.”
  And Ted screams
