I know for a fact that Mosheh had more health and was wearing better armor than you when you jumped in front of the darkness blast

now he is tied to a pole as a hostage/bait for the party

my boy is causing problems on purpose

Jasper's punishment for fizzling Serena is that she got a crit with her spear and did 109 damage to him

consequences

...and, two rounds later, dropped him

I'm a healer, but

ideal man

spear to the face

play stupid games (turn off the healer's magic) win stupid prizes (spear! to the face!)

honestly serena turbocritting jasper rules

it honestly works really well as an emotional beat for her, given that she's the one who pulls mosheh away after erik goes down

rather than getting caught trying to haul him along

so, like, she knew it had to be done, but that doesn't make it not feel awful

and then your boy is gloating, as he does

and then - we won't see her capacity for anger for a while, but that doesn't mean it isn't there

one of my favorite pep powers is the one where mosheh and serena turn erik into a werewolf

(according to the animation that is what happens)

in today's episode of Erik Has A Bad Time, Jade gives him a concussion in the MMA tournament!

and then he has to deal with Veronica accusing him of being distracted by her legs

Erik: I may be gay or may just have the ability to focus, but I wasn't distracted by her legs! She kicked me in the face that was where I was supposed to be paying attention!

I took off the shiny new Drasilian armor I just made Mosheh for this plot, because I think he should mourn, should send his parents off, as the person he is, not the Drasilian prince he could have been

it felt like a costume, or a disguise

Erik, silently: I am the normalest person at this Sending

knowing that Amber is alive means I can look forward to introducing Mosheh's first family to his second family

things that are Not Fun for Jade: these soldiers are in her colors. they're supposed to be hers

but the good news: she gets to process that the thing she's been beating herself up for for years actually worked out fine! she didn't get her baby "brother" killed! he has in fact been healthier and happier than she has
