    Okay, I'm gonna need Ashley to not ever use that voice again because it breaks my heart to hear Fearne so scared and helpless. She sounded the same way when Orym died, and it put a dagger through my heart then, too. 😢

    • @beanofglory1051
      @beanofglory1051 3 месяца назад +14

      Oh my god, Fearne's character growth this campaign has been unbelievable. It came up *repeatedly* in the most recent Four Sided Dive.
      Nowadays, Fearne has the biggest, most helplessly open heart of anyone in Bells Hells, and she's traded her laissez-faire approach to other souls for this unbounded love and concern.
      There is a part of me that worries that it might be getting too intense, like something that needs therapy (born of trauma and damaging to a degree) rather than a positive trait, but... yeah. Our tenderheart faun.

    • @richardbudge9416
      @richardbudge9416 3 месяца назад +13

      Spliting the party is bad for a few main reasons: 1) the DM hasn't balanced the separate encounters for multiple people, and doesn't have time do to so 2) the split groups might not have the resouces to properly function in combat and 3) smaller groups means a different action economy in combat encounters, so mistakes are a lot more punishing.
      Time and preparation generally fix these issues, as well as a not insignificant serving of experience for both sides

      ⁠@@Sp4rt4nSl4yayeah, it comes from being something that *completely* screws a DM, if it’s a spur of the moment thing decided at the table. Notice in this instance the session was Set Up for a split party, with the split decided upon & finalized at the end of the prior session. Giving Matt time to prepare for a split party meant it wasn’t actually any sort of detriment to a game.
      Spring that on a DM mid-session tho, you’re asking for a terrible time all around. The amount of improvisation it would require would be even too much for Matt, I’d imagine. At minimum he’d immediately go to break to plan
