Hands down, the most honest response to Robs players who huddle and go over info as if near by people couldn't hear them. As a DM, you know he holds back, most of the time. As a player, Nixie just jumped right in there.
Fall and Britt were definitely thinking of the Philosopher's Stone from Fullmetal Alchemist, while Rob was thinking of the Philosopher's Stone from historical alchemy lmao.
Or Harry Potter, as the name of the first book in the series and the eponymous stone is the Philosopher's Stone outside of the U.S. (and thus I presume was the name of the book in New Zealand). Though to be fair the Harry Potter version was itself based on the concept from historical alchemy.

Nix (singular: Neck; feminine: Nixie) are spirits who dwell in quiet rivers and lakes in England, Germany, and Scandinavia. Their love of water is equalled only by their love of music, and their beautiful songs often draw listeners to the banks of their watery homes.
So from what Rob was saying, it sounds like ember shards are not inherently evil or even inherently necromantic. They're just amplifiers. So if you pump any magic through it, you get a more powerful version out of it. That's a neat tool for a story like this. The bad guys are using them to create an army of undead, but if the good guys get some of their own then they can potentially be more effective at fighting back. Maybe it gives them a free up-cast on their spells or something like that?
So what I learned today is if you roleplay and are happy and just want to be friends, the dice give you 20s all day long. No wonder the boys have such issues with Bob. :P

simple excuse for any britt sailing errors... she is a dyslexic pirate, so she sometimes says port when she means starboard "no the klingons are on the other starboard bow", meanwhile the faerie has cleverly disguised the raft that is made of lashed logs as a viking longship with some leaves turned into paper mache.
Right as someone who knows about boats and has been massively offended; I would like to remind everyone that rudders only work of you are moving relative to the water (either faster or slower than the flow of the river)
Maybe that's why Rob said she would feel uncomfortable on the raft, but it wouldn't be unbearable? Perhaps Arrow being a pirate is a bit like a person with moderate lactose intolerance? Also: Sorry for having been offended - are you a member of those "Boat Mormons" the guys from Door Monster keep mentioning in their "Civilization 5/6" skits?
Oh a different day , a different descsion and Nixie would have ran into BaTD . On that day , Azerim would have burned . No undead, no Orcs , no Order of the weave ,just Batd and Nyxie standing atop its charred remains , Kelothac supreme . Nixie . "I like to burn things" BoB "I like to explode things from the inside."
@ GM Robert The Frogmen King may, in fact, actually have a raft. As I recall, Bodger and Greg constructed a raft in this area to get to the Hag of the Past. While Baradun's Wild Surge did destroy it, the components were still there. His Frogmen raided the site shortly after the conclusion to the fight.
I love how the group suggests a definition of a Philosophy Stone from anime Full Metal Alchemist, where it extends the power of an alchemist, and not from Harry Potter, where it prolonged life 😅
Also, side note: Fall Cosplay's hair just looks fantastic today. I'm used to seeing her dressed as a tiefling or as a video game character 😂, don't often get to see the natural look and it's nice to see her having a "good hair day" out of costume for a change.
Rob i think the girls were talking about the philosopher's stone from Fullmetal Alchemist, it was used to increase abilities some would call magic, at no real cost, thats all
Oh my goodness tales of the misfits even on a slow episode is such a good watch... Thank you ladies for proving that yes you can play d&d and it's more entertaining than most of the boys you watch
And why didn't they loot the kings vault "for building that raft"? "Ohh, we definitely need that golden necklaces for fixing that logs together" ... "That magic sword is absolutely needed to stabilise the bottom here" ... "That magic rings are useful to arrange the ropes there" ...
-4 to Intelligence on Nixie is very very substantial. I think that would put her at either 2 or 3 Int, which (if you believe each Int point represents 10 IQ, which would make 10 Int be the average of 100. IQ is a very very flawed system, but it's fun to contemplate), puts Nixie at "Extremely Low intelligence". Given anything below 69 (nice) is "Extremely Low", you could put her in a room with 10,000 random people and she would have a very slim chance of being smarter than any of them. At that sort of brain functioning, she SHOULD be unable to actually speak coherently at all... HOWEVER Clearly Nixie's mind runs on PURE CHARISMA. Which is a very cool concept, sheer blazing force of personality driving her mind.
You know at this point maybe you should just make a Yule log video video of at least pretending to burn the curse from bens chair for the future of your d&d sessions and a campaign to collect enough money to replace it....😅
I made a suggestion like that last episode, that perhaps Arrow and Sneaky could have done something to rally the frogs to help. After all, we know from lore that Conrau has some larger frogs that can swallow a horde of treasure. Could they not use that same capacity to swallow a huge amount of water and spit on the trees? They could also command the legion of little frogs to do a bucket chain, or have them help burrow a trench in the mud and hope the water from the swamp floods into it like irrigation canals...

Hahaha Horatio basically going into a uncontrollable rage and Arrow just rolling a 20 to knock him out was amazing 😂

Britt should have intimidated the frogs to help!
I made a suggestion like that last episode, that perhaps Arrow and Sneaky could have done something to rally the frogs to help.

They could also command the legion of little frogs to do a bucket chain, or have them help burrow a trench in the mud and hope the water from the swamp floods into it like irrigation canals...
21:23 I think Horatio has some competition. Frog king seems to be interested in a watery queen.
He would have an affinity for water, and it is something he's never seen before.
Poor Horatio... He's _so_ in the right and he's the one that gets punished.
I feel like Brit should have advantage on making the raft because as a pirate she would have a working knowledge of woodworking and ship repair.
Odd for Bubble to design a craft like this since she's probably never needed one.
