* In the Underdark, the party runs into some intellect devourers. Xenk warns that they are more likely to attack you if you're intelligent, and to remain as quiet as possible. It's a tense moment... until the intellect devourers pass by with barely a sniff.

It's a tense moment... until the intellect devourers pass by with barely a sniff.[[note]]Which also makes sense. The party consists of classes who primarily use Charisma (Bard, Paladin, Sorcerer), Wisdom (Druid), and Strength and Constitution (Barbarian).[[/note]]

* As the group sneaks back into Forge's castle, Simon casts an illusion of Edgin singing to distract the guards. Simon's foot gets caught on a rock, disrupting his concentration and causing the illusion to [[BrokenRecord start skipping like it was a shitty DVD.]] As Simon tries to free himself, [[BodyHorror the Edgin illusion distorts even further,]] with its eyes bulging out, head shrinking into its torso and the lute handle sagging like a deflating balloon, much to the guards' horror. By the time Simon gets free, the illusion has even started to float away! With a scene like that, how could it ''not'' be displayed as the main image to this page?

** Which is funnier: that Sofina is so divorced from humanity she has no idea why Forge would find that gross, or that she ''knows exactly'' how gross it is and is taking an opportunity to {{Troll}} him?

Made even funnier considering Sofina lampshaded later how she can barely stand Forge, meaning she's just messing with him.

* After Edgin uses the Tablet of Reawakening on Holga, upon waking up she looks bewildered before saying in a disbelieving tone, "Don't tell me you wasted it on me. Why would you do that?" Doubles as heartwarming and tearjerking as the fact that she thinks it should've been used on Edgin's wife so Kira could have her birth mother is both sweet and sad.

** Even funnier is that even baby Kira is intimidated and seems to be trying to push herself away in the little swing she's sitting in as soon as Holga glares at Edgin.

** The final joke at the end of Holga making eyes at ''another'' halfling man, implying that not only did her ex have a thing for large women, but that Holga herself had a thing for small men too? Gut-bustingly funny.

** Another extremely funny thing to consider on a meta level is the noticeable pattern of the corpses' tone of speaking changing from a raspy, dry voice you'd typically expect of a long-dead corpse brought to life, to a completely normal, unaffected one by the end. Like the DM initially attempted to put on a theatrical undead vibe with their voice for roleplay purposes, but eventually said screw it and threw the raspy voice out the window because it was putting too much of a strain on their throat the longer the encounter went on.

* When Xenk bids farewell, Edgin muses on his strange straight walk and whether he'll break it to avoid a boulder. Instead, without breaking stride, Xenk just steps on the boulder and keeps on trucking. [[FunnyBackgroundEvent You can still see Xenk walking away in the distance in the next few shots.]]

* Speaking of Edgin's backstory, the judges don't seem to have a problem with him spending twenty minutes detailing years of his life leading up to the crime that got him sent to prison; they're just annoyed he keeps interrupting himself, acting like avid viewers watching a dramatic soap opera that keeps getting interrupted by commercials. It's even LampShaded when Edgin accidentally starts to retell his backstory near the beginning (with the appropriate flashback playing out again) instead of where he left off and a council member complains he went too far back.
