Episode 81 (S2-28) - "Breakfast with Desert"

[Oneiros]

OR: "Honey, I Shrunk the Party!"

Well, they may have gotten a reasonable night's sleep but there's obviously no rest for LOLOMG as Wilde still has work for them, even with the university on lockdown. But at least there's breakfast...

And then adventures in reduced dimensions, as we engage the shrinking person/Borrowers trope and follow the trail of the Simulacrum and Liliana into Newton's study. What shenanigans do you think Alex has planned for our heroes? We've already had Sasha and fire (obvious music cue is obvious)...

Lovely work in particular from Ben here as he fails a Wisdom check and Grizzop has a bit of an existential crisis over time.

Oh dear, poor Sasha! Exasperation and exhaustion on top of everything. But she still handles herself surprisingly well given the circumstances. And as said on Patreon already, nice reference to Terry Pratchett's book The Carpet People. Can wholeheartedly recommend this fun book to anyone who didn't read it yet!

And Grizzop growling is officially on my most adorable things list now!
It looks like Hamid and Grizzop together could make any all-you-can-eat offering restaurants go bankrupt. Reminds me of when Hamid took Sasha on the restaurant tour and she asked whether they could stop eating now. XD

Did Grizzop say 'lives'? Do Goblins believe (or know) they'll be reborn and have more lives than one due to their short lifespan, like the thing with the nine lives for cats? And is him trying to get things done, like shoving slowpoke-opera workers if necessary, also less of a personality-specific trait and more of a Goblin-thing? You have little time, do at least one useful task per day, or something? Argh, backstory-need intensifies!!! XD

It was nice to have a much calmer episode after all the recent drama.

I think Hamid has just invented kummerspeck.
