Highlights

• 00:06:20 Ashley:"Did we leave the baby in the prison?"
• 00:09:12 Fan Art Moment Mister the mini monkey Fire Elemental giving Fearne the "Puss in Boots" giant sad eye look.
• 00:35:04 Matt:"Is Shibari an action?"
• 00:36:45 Dorian:(while grappled)"Jokes on you. I love hugs."
• 00:49:03 Lore Drop Aimee:"All the girls (of Byroden) get rope training!"
• 01:17:58 Lore Drop You kind of drift back and think, and you have that, like, very, sort of, bland memory of: "Well, my Nana sent me and then I was just here" and you can reach to the edges of that and peel back that memory slapped on, and you peer behind it at the truth, and you remember a much longer memory of walking for weeks escorted by your Nana, to a large, beautiful, ornate gate of stone, wrapped in vines and covered in little mushrooms and pushing through the gate and walking for what felt like a second and forever, and gently falling green light, and appearing on the other side of it, looking over your shoulder and watching as that planar magic fades, and you were close to another large city here on Tal'Dorei, called Syngorn. From there you made your way north, and eventually got to Emon. Then, just as you think that, you feel that roll of the old memory go on top of it, but you can flip back and forth between the two.
  INTERMISSION

  Aabria:"Inspiration!"
• 02:25:06 Dariax:"My family comes from these things. So it's uh, just follow, stay LOPSTECK. Just see where the hands go. There's like hand-holdings and you just go like this--
  (Fearne falls immediately)

• 02:58:32 Aabria:"Wait, how close do you think you are to this right now?"
  Aimee:"How close Am I to them?"
  Aabria:"You tell me!"
• 03:04:55 Orym:"Are you talking to the ash hole?" (this pun continues for the rest of the ep)

• 03:52:00 Lorkathar:"Please, I , Orym. I need you to head back into the city and try to find someone that could explain what this (the runic sigil) is. This feels big and important and beyond my abilities. This is something different. I understand that I am not the leader of the Ashari, but I know that this is something beyond normal ken. And I can only think of one person with a depth of knowledge about these kinds of runes. He calls himself a Runechild, so, maybe he can be of some help. You'll find him in Abdar's Promenade.

His name is Shaun Gilmore.

(Ashley's face 03:53:07)
"Get to him as fast as you can. Tell him everything you've seen. He'll help."

There was a brief mention of a meme known as 'Long Essek' and here is related fan art.
