"**A Party to Die For**" is the 63rd episode of the second season of *Check Please!* Campaign One. It was live-streamed on January 28th, 2023 on the Check Republic's Twitch channel, and premiered on YouTube on February 1st.

## Key Points & Highlights

* In the Merry Valley, the members of Fortune's Favor continue to enjoy the 140th birthday celebration of beloved local halfling Mrs. Wimblepot, with several participating in various party games.
* Vera, still reeling from her argument with Petravian and blaming herself, drowns her sorrows in potent liquor.
* While Kurla pays their respects to the Guest of Honor, Ris tries to console Vera, and grows increasingly annoyed with Petravian.
* Ris takes Petravian aside, seeking to conclusively learn the exact reasons he joined the Hive, and threatening severe bodily harm should he ever upset Vera in this way again.
* After helping her to the Vardo to recover, Petravian and Vera begin to mend fences.
* As Kurla, still enjoying their freedom from the urges inflicted on them by That Which Hungers, samples new food and drinks, Lovette and Moira get crossfaded with the help of some Muse; Moira vows to never leave Lovette's side.
* Kurla, Lovette, and Moira encounter Mala, the daughter of Zel, who is suspicious of their motives and concerned about recent changes in her father's behavior.
* Kurla relays Mala's concerns to Zel, and discusses with him the future of his family and the Merry Valley after his death.
* After a pie-eating contest that concludes the festivities, Lovette asks Kurla for help to communicate with the departed souls of her father and the original Moira.
* Kurla determines that, while Lovette's father's soul is at peace in the afterlife of the deity Shamish, Moira's soul is torn to shreds, entirely beyond contact or resurrection.
* The Party members travel briefly to the Steam Isle, where Lovette is able to speak with their father (perhaps for the last time) and gain some sense of closure after his death. The elder gnome expresses pride and love for their daughter, and enthusiasm for her business pursuits.
* Vera and Petravian once again speak (with Vera sober this time), returning to good terms with each other; Vera initiates a small but meaningful hug.
* Moira II firmly reminds Lovette that she is not the original Moira, and that Lovette should not conflate the two of them.
* The following morning, Zel takes his dragon form and transports the Party to Prae'si'dium to retrieve the Black Sapphire that Kurla will need to trap the soul of Marcus the Betrayer once he is defeated; the life oracle reveals that they are still uncertain how to use it.
* After inadvertently confusing Mar'ku'lus and Sol'una about Sol's ability to return to Aedron (and, along with Kurla, accidentally swearing in front of the children yet again), the Party clamber aboard Zel and set course for the Deadlands.
* The Party levels up.

## Memorable Quotes

* "If you do that again I will disintegrate your balls off." – Ris, to Petravian, expressing their slightly different take on the matter.
* "I am a stupid asshole." – Petravian, accepting responsibility for upsetting Vera (at the risk of his two best friends.).
* "I'll never leave you." – Moira, comforting Lovette.
* "Are Bags of Holding made from Halfling stomachs?" – Grem, amazed at the prodigious appetites of the Halflings.
* "It's doing its best to imitate a dead friend of mine... so, it's fine.” - Zel, still not wholly pleased with Mark-2's presence.
* "I'm not here to be a grief sponge. I'm here to make your life easier." – Moira, insisting that Lovette draw a distinction between her and her predecessor.
