* The clean way in which Bell's Hells manages to subdue an Archmage of the Cerberus Assembly. After Seth gives the codeword, Chetney uses a Blood Curse of Binding, Imogen casts Command to get her to freeze, Ashton pushes her into a corner and pins her there with the Immovable Rod in his hammer, Laudna Counterspells her teleport, Dorian tries to trap her in a Forcecage, and Orym uses Seedling to glue her hands to Ashton's hammer to prevent her from casting. For a plan that was completely improvised on the spot, and for how strong the Archmage was to resist most of their efforts, it went off without a hitch.
** Seth ends the fight with an Antimagic Field, destroying both the Archmage's and his own disguise at the same time. The Archmage is revealed to be Astrid Becke, while "Seth" is none other than ''Essek Thelyss'', called in by Caleb to aid Bell's Hells in their trek to Aeor.

Orym, Ashton, and [[CallingTheOldManOut Imogen]] have some excellent moments, and Ashton in particular gives her a ''blistering'' TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.

I want you to think about that, and think very carefully when things start to go wrong--and they will for you. Will you hear the mental cries of your daughter when Ludinus finally decides it's time to murder her on Exandria? Do you think that'll break through, or do you think you're gonna be surprised?

*** While it's unknown how many hit point Otohan had, Matt likely [[RuleOfCool forwent combat rules]] to make sure she died, the Hells were safe, and the sacrifice was not in vain. In-universe, the fact that the blast radius that Matt asked Sam about never came into play and that Otohan/Letters took the full brunt of the impact could also be seen as one last gift from the Changebringer to her faithful and his loved ones. It was, after all, her Guiding Bolt that they used for this Blaze of Glory.

*** As a further testament to Matt's improv skills, it took him a little bit to figure out exactly how much damage setting off a point blank high explosive would do in this circumstance because he never expected Sam to pull a stunt like this. All the while, he (like the rest of the table) is holding back tears at what is about to happen.

* After Bell's Hells versus Otohan. One of the most intense fights of the campaign.
** The sheer amount of natural 20's rolled on both sides are ''ridiculous''. Orym crits ''five times'' in his first two rounds, Ashton crits abrutal few times and does ''heaps'' of damage now that they have access to Brutal Critical, and Imogen comes back from unconsciousness with a natural 20 on a death save. Vice versa, Otohan hits nearly every attack she makes, and crits just about every other round.
** Orym's first move is to attack Otohan's backpack, damaging it enough that Imogen is able to tear it off her back before she's able to use any of her shadow duplicates. This one move reduced Otohan's attack power from six attacks per turn to a mere four, prevented her from using her teleportation to switch with her duplicates, and made winning the fightwith Otohan, remotely possible in the first place.

After Orym subsequently increases his AC, the juggernaut acts next, deciding to attack Orym -- which misses. Orym immediately uses a maneuver to riposte, scoring a counter hit that kills the juggernaut via gutting it like a fish.

** Using his Sympathetic Binding feature and the ability Scatttered Vigour, FCG allows Fearne to regain hit points for several rounds in exchange for Ashton taking necrotic damage (which they accept), though repeated use of this feature does result in FCG accruing enough stress points that he ends up flying into a berserker rage. Unlike last time, however, he is able to warn the others in time for them to take the necessary steps to counter this: Ashton prepares to grapple him, Chetney uses Blood Curse of Binding to pin him in place, and Nana Morri silences his enraged ranting; once Fearne has successfully absorbed the shard, Chetney drops the binding effect and Orym uses a full turn worth of attacks to nonlethally push FCG away from the group long enough for him to make a wisdom save and regain composure.
