Season 3 Q & A Session

If Greta got pissed off and hit the Divine Ephiny would it have worked?

              She is nails.

Are we safe to assume most of Frandelle is ashes now?

              Yes.

Is Derek dead?

              Yeah, he
had a heart attack when Igneon arrived.

Is the Jade Lady dead?

              Yes, she
is.

Is the Dragon in the South also dead?

              [TBD]

How long in Frandelle?

              A few
weeks.

What’s the Tyrant’s real name?

If anyone had asked what its name
in-game, it would have told you its name died a long time ago, it doesn’t hold
to names like the others. But it is called Glacius.

Is Glacius gendered?

The Voice from Above wants to be
considered a boy, Lady of Jade wants to be considered a girl but they are
genderless.

What’s Lady of Jade’s name?

              She identifies
as the Jade Lady now.

Was meeting the Tyrant luck?

More or less, if we had gone
looking for the Tyrant that would have gone wrong. Anyone that already met it,
it would have left.

What would have happened if Chui, Brink and Henri had gone
into the door above the cave?

              It was an
old dwarven city but everyone in there was zombified.

The cave with the horrible blackness, is that similar to the
one we lost characters in before?

              Yes,
directly linked.

What was Xander Hollows’ deal?

              Last
living man in the City of the Mad, he showed up intentionally looking for the
place, a very long time ago.  The ruler
of the City let him out to do something important.

Are we likely to see him again?

              Hopefully!

City of the Mad, is that where Gol’goloth ended up?

              Yes.

So, the City of the Mad has its own timeline?

              Yes, it
exists in its own way.

Is Xander undead?

              Technically
no.

Chui got thrown off a mountain and was marked, does Chui now
have a finger hole in him?

He was full on impaled,
essentially he will get up in the snow at the base of the mountain, feeling the
damp watery cold, the centre will be scarred and the edges with his tattoos
look as if they glow, like a sun. Same around the back.

What happened to Ghede?

Off limits. He’s still linked to
the City of the Mad. The City and the Temple are in the same demi-plane.

What was the deal with those zombies?

Ruler of the City of the Mad,
referring to itself as the Patient Abyss, is sending things out into the wild
now. It can’t send a person back, it is splicing the memory of what two objects
were and throwing that out. The memory of armour and of a dwarf, made that
monstrosity.

What is its purpose?

Primarily it needs to protect itself
from the dragons, and it also wants to destroy the dragons. The existence of
the Patience of the Abyss creates a necromantic effect on the land.

Did it care that the King used this power?

              The
Patient Abyss used the King more than the King used it.

Brink’s tally whenever she used vampiric powers, was this
linked?

              It was,
if she continued to use it she could have been taken by the Patient Abyss.

What was Lottie’s deal?

              Lottie
was from Hygard, she wasn’t time displaced or a zombie or anything.

How did she catch up with Prince in the tunnel?

Lottie was just lucky, both
Lottie and Prince were time displaced, they left the tunnel before they entered
it.

What was Lottie’s house all about?

              Everyone
became part of her delusion.

How did she get to the North?

              She
walked.

Has she been in that cabin for 20 years?

              No, she’s
just been wandering around.

How was she immune to the cold?

              She
believed so much that she was going to fulfil the prophecy that she couldn’t
die.

Why was the time displaced?

It’s stepping into a place
outside of reality, where normal rules don’t apply, normal rules are
intentionally perverted by the Patient Abyss.

Is that a geographical thing?

All of the Frigid North has been
touched by the Abyss but some specific caves are direct doorways into their
domain.

Were Brink and Henri time displaced at all?

              Only
Prince and Lottie were displaced.

Why didn’t Brink see any trace that Henri had been on the
peak?

              They do attempt
to dismiss any sign of anything living there.

Why were there
Ts’kwesnes at the top of each Peak?

Who chained them there?

At the peak with the Tyrant, the Ts’kwesnes were not
chained there. Ones above the dwarven cities were chained to keep them part of
the Trial. The Tyrant will try and arrange for some guardians to keep people
away, and keep signs of trespass away.

Does that equal yetis because
they are tough?

Yeah and they climb.

How does the Tyrant get the Ts’kwesnes there?

The Tyrant curses them, that’s
why they have glowing eyes. It is the Wendigo curse. The Tyrant is raising the
living into a Wendigo to combat the Patient of the Abyss.

Mo’gash the Fool tried to climb
the Peak in that his grandfather, Mo’gash the Proud, had conquered, but he
screwed up and got cursed.

What is the reason for going up the Peak?

People are drawn to the
challenge, the promise of enlightenment. From the dwarven point of view, people
go up for different things, it is about what you want from yourself.

 Is the Tyrant’s
present the reason for the cold?

              Yes, and
it because it has been discovered again it is getting colder.

The swimming in cold sensation?

              It is a
result of being near the Tyrant’s place. Chui will feel like that forever.

A large shadow was cast over Divine Ephiny in an epilogue and
it said, it’s you again, who was it?

              This was
Igneon.

What are Breanne and Pabu up to?

              They left
and are travelling South.

When we last left the people from the East, they were headed
South, if we were to rejoin them, would it be this much time or would it skip
back to the points where the paths diverged?

              Fill in
the gap between.

How long was the North?

              A couple
of weeks.

Birgitta was not open about her magics, how was she doing
it?

It is a ritual, passed down
through generations, it’s normal to her, she doesn’t consider it ‘magic’ or
really understand what magic is.

More to know on the fate of Chester Abigail?

He dead, he’s a zombie. Xander is
intentionally herding a crowd of mindless corpses to the South.

What happens if you take the things of the North out of the
influence?

              Either
they become weak, or they spread the source.

Igneon has been to the South, he’s going to the West, the
Patient Abyss is God-like, why is the Patient Abyss sending the things South
when Igneon has gone?

              The South
is a big place.

Will everything peak at Hygard?

              [TBD]

What are the conical shells?

Where the hermit crab like beings
go to die, the conical shell graveyard. It became a spawning ground of zombie
crabs. The guards at the town were younger versions, they are tribal creatures.

Would we have found Gorton in Gearberg?

              No.

What is the deal with Greto and Jack the Slayer?

The ‘God slayer’ knock-offs. After
the weaver got killed, there were a down on their luck group who hired on an
additional actor to imitate, they are competent, so they walked around doing
mercenary work, as long as there was coin or drink to be had. After the Igneon
incident, everyone started not caring about things, Sinead was looking for some
help to fix the problem, and slamming such a title around got the attention of
the wanna-be heroes. They conned each other.

Jack the Slayer went West
instead.

Is Sinead actually a Princess?

              No, she
was throwing that title around to enlist people to help.

Who is Jack the Slayer?

              [Can find
out in the West]

Who was in the Group?

              Greto,
Jack the Slayer, Sammy (like Somesuch) and Dazzbang (he was the Fizzlesnitch).

Sinead enlisted them. There wasn’t
a Chenzira copy because she laid low, although Sinead was a coincidence.

What did Birgitta do after parting ways?

              She would
continue to fish and survive, heading Northest, to reunite with her owlbears.

What stuff does Brink and Henri get made in the dwarven
forges?

              [will
have to go over that] projectile weaponry, and hooks for climbing

The Drow village worshipping the Shadow King?

They are still local to the
Shadow King and they worship the Moon and the world between, a throw back to
Vuul. That camp are clinging to the old ways, and they are certain their time
will come. They are too remote to know that the Shadow King is no more.

Is Vuul’s spear still with Dirgrim?

              Yes. That
weapon is Abyss imbued.

Was the tea actually drugged?

              It was a medical
tea to calm them and help them sleep, it is made of cave root.

Why did Prince spew out some shade?

Interacted with stuff that Prince
had inside him. It was a secret test to see if anyone was affected. Janelle
confirmed that Prince was tainted with the tea.

What is it like to be of the Abyss?

              They are
essentially immortal.

Big explosion, do we know that our quest is at an end in the
North?

              No.

What is Brink and Henri doing?

They found nothing in the
mountain so their task is done. They are going back to Gearberg. During that
time they are going to head South out of the North, backtracking the way they
came. Henri just wanted to warn the village, to spread the word. The timings
may make them all link up again. Chui achieved what he ended up doing.

Prince wants to be reunited with Mellori, why hasn’t he
killed himself?

He thinks it’s the cowards way out.
If he dies by his own hands, in doing so he might damn himself. Maybe he made
Mellori a God and his powers are from her, because of his beliefs. Prince is
chilled to the core. All this was to spite Lady Jane. Maybe he should just do
his quest, which is getting back to her. If Mellori gave him the gift, is that
that throwing it back in her face?

Does Blim have an interest in going South?

              No he wants
to finish his internship. Coghold has the finest crafting.

Why didn't the other dwarves know about the other
Trials of the Peak?

They
don’t classify the other peaks as the Trial.

What is the West like?

There
are a lot of islands, it has a warm twist to it for the most part.

Why
did the Jade Lady refer to Tektite as Mortallus?

[TBD]

Is
the Divine Ephiny related to the Weaver in some way?

The Weaver’s only angel.

So,
given angels are construction of the faith? How does the Ephiny still exist
after the Weaver was killed?

Divine
Ephiny is given fact throughout Frandelle, given being through the people, not
tied to the Weaver. This technically makes the Weaver the God of Frandelle.

Who
believes in Jack?

              He is tied to a mortal form, and
has a new patron.

Would he be
an angel of the Mellori?

              [TBD] The Tyrant would have
deconstructed Prince’s existence.

Was
Madam Breton running away from someone when he left Adelais behind?

He didn’t realise
the mistake that had happened, until it was wait too late to make anything of
it, and lived with the lie.

What are the
other Adelais’ parents like?

One of them was
struggling with having a kid and sidled the baby off on someone else, hoping
they would be mixed up. They were Frandellese as well. It was engineered.

How often
to Frandellese travel to Stormroque?

Adelais’ parents
were attempting to trade. They are slave traders. For the other Adelais only
one of the parents was struggling, they were in Stormroque celebrating their
babies.

The Breton mother
was in denial as well. If Adelais of Stormroque had mentioned to Breton mother
she would have got mad at Breton father saying she knew it all along.

Any other
siblings?

              No.

Why was Igneon after the Jade Lady?

To
kill her.

Did anyone fork over the Jade Lady?

Some
people tried, yeah. He would make them a Champion.

Who did Chui kill when he took the mark?

[TBD]

Why did the old lady call for Adelais, requested to
see her in the Palace?

It was a suggestion that
Adelais go there, she would no longer be Jade Lady so you would meet the new
one, because there were legal repercussions.

There was the weird barrier of magic in the walls of
Frandelle, where Slake was poofed away, given that Stevens is slightly
different nature, what were the ramifications of going to court? Would they
have been able to demagic him into a pot?

They
would have tried, and with enough of them they could have succeeded.

When Stevens was helping out a dockhand making an
entrance into Frandelle, would he have been busted?

Yep.
Those guys got arrested.

Was Pabu rotting in a cell somewhere?

No,
he got away, and joined up with Prince and then got on the boat with Breanne.

Did Breanne hook up with the bartender?

Highly
unlikely.

Does Jack the Slayer have a ferret?

[TBD]

Talk about Greta flying through the air on a stick,
which myth was that?

Riding
the Weaver.

Where is Greta’s butter knife he used as a child?

One
of the Hygard evacuees has it.

Where is Po and Samuel?

Things
are still happening in Hygard.
