love that they spent the first third of this ep clowning around above a holy site of the freaking raven queen
the title of this episode should be "Mood Whiplash"
i'm excited to see it in context
and then there was a fuckin beholder as well
and watching matt's face journey from
"oh okay you're touching the trapped armor percy? y'all make dex saves"
to laura going "haha one"
to
with as much poker face as is humanly possible
what kills me is laura rolled to investigate but before she could even say what she rolled percy had poked the leather
you can just see him going
"oh. oh. this might have just killed her"
he's like rolling dice and checking something
"there's a burst of......death. just death energy"
the dead fucking silence in the room
everyone: tactful. vax: crying
grog: you fuckin DIED!
Watching Laura realize it is WILD
she literally reacts like she just got stabbed in the gut
god the whole thing is just so visceral
i fucking love grog and craven edge
also vax punched percy which was satisfying
