CanonCome Together

E2 A Show of ScrutinyMollymauk: They say solitaire is a game for the death-obsessed. There's an inevitability to every hand; most of them are doomed from the start, no matter what you do.Mollymauk的神棍语录：个人将solitaire纸牌理解为塔罗牌。death-obsessed意思执迷于死亡，死亡=生命不可避免的结局，执迷于每一条生命都会有着注定的终末。塔罗牌并非随机显示出结果，每一个人会看到的卡牌是注定的。

E3 Disparate PiecesExpositor Dairon: We are the hidden strength of the library, you are not wrong. We wade in the filth of society. We weed out the corrupt. We pursue the secret evils of the world and expose them to the light. We twist the arm of the unjust until they spill their mysteries. We are the spies. We are the hunters. We are the watchmen to those who rule. We are not kind. We are forthright. We are truth. Do you, Beauregard, want to see the truths of the world?... Do what you must. Travel the world. Use what I've taught you. Learn about injustice. Those you don't trust, follow them. Bend them. Make them tell the truth and admit their guilt. Find where ever corruption is. Root it out and let the system do its job. If the system isn't doing its job, destroy the system. 钴蓝书院探索者Dairon的宣言：“我们是书院的隐藏力量，没错。我们在社会的污秽中跋涉，清除腐败分子。我们追求世界上隐秘的邪恶，使它们暴露在阳光下。我们折断不公正者的手臂，逼迫他们吐露自己的秘密。我们是间谍、我们是猎人、我们是统治者的监视者。不仁慈，但直接。我们是真相。你，Beauregard，想看看世界的真相吗？……做你必须做的事。周游世界，使用我所教育你的东西，去了解不公，跟随那些你不信任的人，使他们屈服，说出真相，承认自己的罪行。寻找腐败的所在地，根除它，并让体制完成其的工作。如果体制无法正常工作，便销毁这一体制。”

Yasha: (to Nott) Are you scared of me?Nott: A little bit. You're very big.Yasha: Well, I thought you were Nott, the Brave?Nott: Oh. No, there's no comma. I'm just Nott the Brave.

E5 The Open RoadJester: Fjord, do you think you're slowly turning into water?Fjord: No. I hadn't considered that terrifying thought, but thanks. I'll just add that to the fucking list.Jester: If you feel like it's happening, let us know and we'll try to catch you in a jar.

E13 Lost & FoundMollymauk: I don't know anything - it's part of my charm!

Caleb: I place the thing in my lap and I pick up the skull. Oh, so many secrets, huh, Yorick? (gravelly) “Maybe you should tear it off your chest.” I don’t think that’s a good idea. “It’s driving you crazy.” Maybe not yet. “It’s probably a good idea.” You’re funny.

E15 Where The River GoesThe pages, the ramblings speak of a coming war. They talk about foolish pawns who follow their gods to annihilation. They speak of the armies of Ghor Dranas washing over the land and pauper and kings alike being saved not at all and being placed on a pike and held like a banner into battle regardless of who they are. They speak of the weakness of flesh and the need to endure beyond the paltry life shell that we’re given. It talks about experiments with refugees, finding if the soul is bound to the flesh in any form, be it ice or ash. It speaks of an obsession with avoiding the eternal hunger of The Crawling King, he who tunnels beneath the world and will find him. It speaks of a bounty hunter, who had infiltrated this sanctum after Siff. And while it cost Siff his legs, the hunter was burned into the brazier, flames of erasure. A trophy shall be taken and displayed as a warning.From there, it grows more and more manic. The scrawlings taking you a moment, even with the spell, to focus and make it out. Speaking on quaking within the earth around that shakes the surrounding hills and darken the sky. The betrayer gods come. The power of man must remain. The arcane gifts must bypass their punishment, show them that they are not above their creations. The final notes grow even more paranoid, worried that the secrets that Siff seeks will fall into the hands of Ghor Dranas and that all must be destroyed. All must come to ash and from the ashes, shall rise again. That’s the final page before the rest of the book is charred beyond recognition.

E16 A Favor in KindSuddenly, you feel like you're within the dodecahedron, and like previously, suddenly there's this loss of light, and stars begin to peek out around you. You see shapes and forms of purples and blues, these amorphous clouds that drift by on a scale that you cannot comprehend. You see darkened spheres and objects passing you as you drift into nothing, into this void with distant dots of light and sparkle. You get to that point you were before, where you feel like there's a threshold, and your heart begins to race. As you continue past that threshold, the speed begins to increase. You feel the back of your neck begin to grow warm and the hair begin to stand up. While you cannot see, you can still sense your body's presence-- unmoving, but moving so quickly, this dual sensation is conflicting and causing your heart rate to jump. Your breathing begins to speed up. You guys watch as his breathing begins to increase. There, you see this faint gray glow approach and stop. Your speed comes to a slow crawl and then halts. Before you, you see this tiny, little mote of gray, pulsing light; a similar undulating pulse as the dodecahedron itself (heartbeat) before you. It is immediacy and forever; it is an ancient concept of possibility. As you ask these questions and begin to contemplate, the loop of your thought process begins to cycle on itself, and you have to shake your head not to be lost in this infinity that threatens to suddenly disperse you. Still, it is this tiny, gray thing before you, and it seems to want your contact. ... You hear him talking. You see a faint mote of gray begin to drift out of the dodecahedron, and then it floats and enters and vanishes into the chest of Caleb. Caleb, you feel this tiny mote come into your hand, and then you pull it to your chest, and you feel this warmth, and for a second probability becomes slightly malleable. This object is still so much more than what you understand; its power is indecipherable on the scale of your puny, mortal knowledge, but you do know that somehow, by reaching out to this device, you've managed to pull within yourself a Fragment of Possibility DM对Caleb注视拉克桑信标后结果的描写。

E18 Whispers of War Caleb: Anybody can make lights. Anybody could send a message through a wire. I want to bend reality to my will.

E19 The Gentleman's PathFjord: Knowing all that, you showed a lot of bravery tonight.Beau: Nott the Brave.Jester: Maybe there is a comma.Fjord and Beau: You earned your comma.Nott: Let's just call it a hyphen for now. And maybe we'll move to an ellipses or something.

Iron and Blood

E26 Found & Lost Caleb: (out loud to himself) "Look at the lot of you. Look at these people. I should go right now. I don't know you at all. Look at this one. He's like a walking rainbow, what is this? Why are you with him? It makes no sense. He's a circus performer, he's not going to help you. This one you told everything to, to try to get into a library. You learned nothing. On your gamble, you failed. You're stupid. Smart as you are, you're stupid with this. She could cave in everything. This three that have been stolen: yeah, they're nice. Two of them. One's weird. One of them tried to kill you. The other one, she's adorable, but-- Stupid. This one here. What do you expect to do with her? How is she going to help you do what you want to do? She can watch your back--"Frumpkin: (hooting)Caleb: (to Frumpkin) "I know. Don't worry, you're fine." (to himself) "She's as much a liability as anything else. You know you're fucking mad when you're gesticulating this much. You should just go. You have told too much. I am going to go. It's time to go."Liam: "He sits there for a solid five minutes. Then two hours. Wait for everyone to wake up.

E27 The Stalking NightmareCaleb: (stuttering) Just this once, I think I should go first.Audience Member: So brave!Caleb: Brave. Dead. It's semantics, really.

E32 Beyond the Boundaries Matt: Caleb, your mind slips back into contemplative thought recalling the time you had spent focusing on the dodecahedron. Focusing onto it, once again allowing your consciousness to slip gently towards wherever this object draws it in, it feels like you're looking into infinite space both within and beyond this small geometric shape. You can sense and see light and cloud and matter and vacuum, this kind of expanse of everything and nothing between these long stretches. You feel like there's an absence around you, but the more time you spend, the more you adjust to the space, the more your vision clarifies, the more the darkness is not pure darkness but a weave of millions of tiny threads, all moving, faintly traveling in different directions, tugged by some unseen force independently. You watch one thread, you pick one focus, and you can see it pulling along. And it brightens and brightens and brightens until it reaches, in that tiny little infinitesimal push, a burst of light, and it changes direction. And you see in that space where that burst of light had happened, you see seven other shadow-threads begin to emerge from that point that then fade away to nothing, the thread having now curved and taken a different path. A choice, a decision made, and a different destiny for whatever that strange thread is following. And pulling back, you now see the thousands, tens of thousands, millions of these that all wander in their own independent, solitary directions, some crossing, some parallel, some alone. And you wonder what all of this means, and what this has to do with the essence of this device, the powers that it seems to impart, and what it is that the Kryn Dynasty has designs for.

E34 Encroaching Waters Fjord: Some people aren't scared of the water, Nott. It's actually quite safe.Nott: They are wrong. It's horrifying! There's monsters in it, you can't see down below, it can snuff you out in a few moments.Caduceus: You've just described every environment that life can manifest in.Nott: (later) Water is terrible. It tried to kill us! It actively wants to kill us!Nott: (later) There's water, water everywhere and all of it wants to kill me.

Adventure on the High Seas

Captain Avantika Fjord个人线重要NPC，出场于E36。Avantika是一位拥有着浅褐色皮肤的精灵女性，野性的红色卷曲地落在她的脸上，说话带有法国口音。她有着经典的海盗打扮，厚重的围巾、高领无袖外套、长手套与长靴，胸骨上有着代表Uk'otoa的眼球纹身。这种美丽、但是野蛮而实干的打扮，与刻板印象当中优雅矜持的精灵相差甚远，却是一个精灵族狂欢海盗（The Revelry）完美范式。 Avantika有着经典的“女海盗船长”性格，强势、聪颖、自信，居高临下的威仪，强取豪夺的行事作风。她故意在外建立了疯狂的名声，以防愚蠢的人来干涉她的计划，而她也的确毫不吝啬以谋杀、背叛等任何方式去除那些挡在她路上的人，依靠着冷酷无情与勤恳努力爬到了这个位置。Avantika是叛神Uk'otoa的神选之一，真切地希望帮助它释放它，以期获得酬劳。关于Avantika，我最中意的CG是她在获得了操控水的力量之后，她赤裸着站在甲板上用海水洗涤身体，让我有些联想到了《维纳斯的诞生》。这种展示自己力量、毫无芥蒂地展示自己健壮美丽女性肉体的行为，很好地体现出她女强人的性格。 不过很可惜，Avantika只是一位垫脚石NPC。 一个叱咤风云的船长，在多年的谎言、背叛与死亡中活了下来，被叛神选中赋予了神秘的力量，相信自己有朝一日支配海洋。直到遇到了主角组Fjord，一个有着与她同样梦境与愿景的神选半兽人水手。把Avantika当做可怜的败犬傻女人是不合适的，她是杀人如麻的恶役，她与Fjord有着各种暧昧与肉体交流，但是她也只是作为一名独立女性与Fjord合作，顺便利用Fjord满足自己的生理需求——毕竟他真的非常“富有魅力”，而她最后玩崩了也只不过是普通的世事无常。不过从（不愿意在虚拟世界中过度考虑道德观念的）观众角度上来说，我们可以看到Avantika对玩家还算礼貌，而如Fjord打从一开始就没有喜欢与尊敬过Avantika，每时每刻都想着如何让她意外暴毙，而在恋爱上她也成为了让Jester展示自己对Fjord小女孩爱意的工具人……完全是主角光环受害者，在她死亡那一集中观众的评论也非常有趣：

-Alec Christiaen: Can you just imagine Avantika's terror? First she basically blackmails them, thinking she was in control. Then she finds a kindred spirit (or so she thinks) in Fjord and feels even more in the position of power. And then the morning after the break-in, it just suddenly goes to shit from one minute to the other. Her crew gets shredded and she doesn't live to see the sun set. in one morning, she went from queen of the world to a head on a pike. That's terrifying.-38SSM："That’s life Harry. One minute you’re eating a burger, the next minute you’re dead meat.”

naaziaf723: I love how much depth Matt puts into all of his characters. Avantika is a villain, and during the trial it was her or the Mighty Nein, and I wanted her to lose. But, Matt doesn't let her go out as a snarling, fighting monster. Instead, she takes one last look out to the docks, to the sea and to the being she gave up everything to serve. I don't actually want Uk'otoa to come back, but her realizing that she would never be able to accomplish that goal was so quietly sad. You can feel her desperation and sadness and rage and finally acceptance as she chooses not to speak when she realizes its over, instead of trying to plead her way out of it and dying a coward. You know a villain is great when their defeat is bittersweet.

E41 A Pirate's Life for Me Caduceus: Mister Caleb, do you believe in fate? There are lots of different kinds of fate, I know that's a heavy question, but do you believe that we are driven towards something by things that are greater than ourselves?Caleb: I don't know. I would like to think not, but I don't know.Caduceus: There are times that I think about the cruelties of the world and the things that have been put upon me and my family, and I would hate for that to be a plan, and there are times when, like today, I'm very grateful for being in the right place at the right time to make sure that the right people are becoming strong in ways they need to be. I don't think that excuses the pain. I don't think that you have to not care about it or fight it with everything you've got, but I think the world is shaping you into something important, and I want to make sure that you get to wherever you need to be.Caleb: That's a pretty big matzo ball.Caduceus: You won't have to work very hard at it, I imagine. I think just being you wherever the world puts you will do just fine.

E43 In Hot Water Caleb:(to Frumpkin)You are the most important member of this team and don’t let Beauregard tell you different. Or Nott.Beauregard: Do you ever feel like your relationship with your cat is hindering building stronger relationships with human people?Nott: I've told him that a lot of times!

E48 Homeward Bound Yussa Errenis: At a certain level of arcane practitioning, morality becomes a bit ambiguous.

E49 A Game of Names Nott (explaining her past as Veth Brenatto): Okay...well, hi. Um, my name is 'Nott the Brave' and I am a little goblin girl...but...once upon a time...I...was Veth. A young halfling woman. And...before that...a, uh, halfling child...who grew up, um, being told...being told that she was not pretty, and not brave, and not coordinated, and not smart, and just...not.

Caleb: (speaking about Ikithon) He believed that the unwashed masses relied on their base instincts and the highest calling was to rise above the muck and control the cattle for the good of all. Jester: That sounds like a bad person.Caleb: But we were-- are-- at war. Many of us felt that way-- feel that way.Nott:: Do you still feel that way?Caleb: I don’t believe in anything now.

E50 The Endless BurrowsJester: Hey, Spurt? How long have you lived down here?Spurt: Eleven days!Nott: How long do kobolds live?Spurt: Eleven days!

E51 The Endless Burrows

E88 Unwanted Reunions 与Trent Ikithon会面Ludinus: (to Jester) “It’s entirely off-putting how disarmingly charming you are. I genuinely do not know how to react. Take that as a compliment.” “你是如此富有魅力，到了令人厌恶的程度。我实在不知道该作何反应。把这当作是赞美吧。”

Caleb: Wulf. It’s good to see you again.Eadwulf: “It’s good to see you, too. It’s been some time. You look good."

Jester: (about Trent) Did he ever seem, like, nice to you? Or was he always weird?Caleb: Sometimes. Sometimes after being particularly harsh, he would apologize after.Yasha: That can be very confusing.

E89 Lingering Wounds 与Astrid会面Caleb: (to Astrid) It’s strange, I find myself wanting to apologize. Still. So much of me feels like I failed. But a lot has changed. I know some things now that I didn’t as a boy. And I am so glad to see you.

Caleb: What we did that night– I did fail. But I didn’t fail the Empire. I failed myself and my mother and father.

Astrid: (about Trent) “I understand your anger. And as much as he’s been our teacher, he’s not infallible. He’s just an old man, with the right connections, who will one day pass like they all do.”Caleb: You always were ambitious.Astrid: “So are you, apparently, Bren. Like I said, I’m proud of you.”

Widogast's Web of Words Every Junge and Mädchen of the Empire knows the story of the dreaded Waldhexe.Most think it is a tale to frighten children, but the wise know better.Once there were three good children who walked in the light of the Dawnfather. So noble were they their parents could not help but look upon them with Stolz in their hearts. “Stay close to us, Liebling. Say your prayers. Serve your king. And always walk in the light of the sun.” And so they did, for a time.But children are children, and one day they left their prayers and wandered to the edge of the wood, so vast and full of mystery. And though their parents had warned them from ever setting foot in the Wildnis, the desire for knowledge beckoned them. Now they no longer walked in the sun. Soon they could see almost nothing. Linking hands, they began to count their steps: eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf...And then, in the darkness, they heard a voice. “Hunger...” There before them limped a spindly old crone, hair matted with dirt and twig.“Who are you, Großmutter and what are you doing in these woods?”“I am these woods, Kind. I am the land and the mountains too. And I hunger, so I think I will eat one of you.”“Oh, please, Großmutter, our parents would surely despair!”“I must eat, for the land to thrive. If I am not to eat one of you, then I shall eat part of all.” The children, frozen in Angst, watched as the Waldhexestepped forward, stone knife in hand. From one boy, she cut out much of his mind, and ate it, and his thoughts were no longer his own. From the second, a girl, she cut out one eye, and this, too, the Waldhexe ate, and the child never saw true again. And from the last, she swallowed his heart, and he never knew love again. “Now, I am fed, Kinder. And the land will flourish and wheat can grow. You may go, as long as you send me your children, and their children after them. Thus will your blood and bones nourish the land, and your kingdom can continue to grow.”And so it has, for years upon years, unto this very day.
