"**To Convince a Dragon**" is the 59th episode of the second season of *Check Please!* Campaign One. It was live-streamed on November 26th, 2022 on the Check Republic's Twitch channel, and premiered on YouTube on November 30th.

## Key Points & Highlights

* Lovette visits her mother Lilith, and collects Mark-2 and her construct of Moira, sparking argument within the party over whether Mark-2's presence (or absence) would anger Zel'na'rif'kef.
* Lovette and Moira discuss whether Lovette would still love Moira if she were granted a soul and became "real, but not the real Moira". Lovette answers that she would.
* The Party members visit The Holy City. Petravian and Kurla purchase certain supplies, with Kurla acting on instinct to acquire an expensive and powerful diamond without consciously comprehending the reason.
* Vera and Lovette check on the local Hive; Vera instructs her fellow Melifera followers to look out for the followers of Gygarion, recognizing their earlier assistance in safeguarding the items that had been necessary to return her deity to life.
* Petra regretfully explains to Reduvii that he neglected to acquire a special weapon for her in the Kin-Tau Empire as he'd promised; she forgives him immediately, and welcomes the return of the hammer he had previously gifted and then borrowed back from her.
* Vera and Petravian again discuss Petra's desire for the Hive to get on better terms with Eden and her followers; Vera remains deeply hesitant based on the history of conflict between the two faiths, and asks Petra to protect the Hive.
* Petravian is deeply tempted to touch Ris's horse, but settles on feeding it flowers instead.
* Arriving in the Merry Valley just in time to disrupt preparations for the birthday celebration of the region's oldest halfling inhabitant (Mrs. Wimblepot), Fortune's Favor attempts to convince Zel to sacrifice himself in order to halt further spread of the Deadlands. The dragon eventually agrees, but is as uncertain as the Party members on how specifically to proceed.
* Zel and Mark-II speak privately, as Zel probes the construct's intentions towards Tellie Talbert.
* The rest of the Party proceeds to Prae'si'dium to confer with Karis on the progress of the device and any insights she might be able to offer on the Zel matter. The Necromancer appears exhausted from many hours of work, causing Mar'ku'lus and Sol'una to be annoyed with the Party for stressing out their mother.
* Vera attempts to scare the children, which only insults them.
* The Party learns of a spell that might be used to trap Marcus the Betrayer's soul if and when he is defeated, but it requires high-level magic from Kurla and the use of a huge black sapphire currently residing in the eye socket of the King of the Giants in Rasvir.
* Back in the Merry Valley, Mark-II finally meets Tellie and expresses his desire to aid her and try to help fill the void left in her life (and the life of her child) by the demise of the being known as Markus Cupshigh. She cautiously accepts him into her life.
