So we have reached the end of our little diversion. I had so much fun doing this, but I'm looking forward to getting back to our regular characters too, and episodes that are paced slightly better. What did you think of the twist at the end?

Really nice to have the side quest as Tjelvar and Edward are great characters to have introduced.
Honestly, I should have liked the twist better (since it continues the mystery and gives them another reason to go to Prague, plus who you added was fantastic) but it personally felt a bit anticlimactic. That aside, there is something to be said for the great metatheatricality of feeling as robbed as Bertie/Tjelvar of what should have been a fantastic discovery. At least they have the circlet but then it does beg the question of why Newton didn't go public with what should have been the greatest archaeological find of their century?
I also like that Wilde is shaping up to be a very interesting thorn in the party's side :-)

The side quest was loads of fun, thank you BSR!
Prague is going to be interesting when the party finally makes it there...

Well, Newton was a crazy person, who believed that only he was sufficiently awesome to deserve understanding of a whole bunch of things. The only reason he ever published anything was to prove he did it first - and basically only when it looked like other people might be catching up to him. But yes, there is part of the story yet untold. I will add that he was super-famous and powerful anyway, so the additional notoriety would not have been a big deal. I am a bit of a Newton geek, so finding a way to throw him in made me very happy.

I liked the twist, and strangely Wilde being inside Berties head... Enchantment? Magic? I feel like it's been left very open, which for me doesn't make me sad 'cause I'd happily see those characters return! Congrats Bryn on being an awesome DM and Alex was a wonderful idiot the Singing was possibly my favourite bit!

I really enjoyed the side quest and I thought BSR was an excellent GM! I'm looking forward to the part reuniting and continuing on!

No spoilers but I sort of think of this as a last fun romp before things start to get a bit more serious...

Well, Wilde told us he was in peril. I'm sure he'll be fine though. What could possibly go wrong?

Ummmm.... oh dear. #NoSpoilers Oh dear?!? It's okay Miss Nash. We shall just retreat into a corner and sing a song to Apollo instead of listening to such things!
