** Doing this allowed her to fully awaken the shard of Ka'Mort within Ashton, granting him an earth based SuperMode of his own. Judging by the reactions, this one is as impressive as Fearne's. They can merge with the earth itself to some degree, but we didn't get a chance to fully see it in action. It's worth pointing out that future uses of these abilities will trigger some kind of penalty, but not this time as it is part of the bonding process, but they do last for an hour.

* Ashton attempts to absorb the shard of Rau'shan, despite numerous warnings that this is a very bad idea. When Taliesin quips that Matt [[CrazyPrepared probably saw this coming]], Matt replies that ''[[DidntSeeThatComing he didn't]]''. Ashton has to survive 10 rounds of Constitution saves and fire damage, his Rage not helping and healing potions instantly evaporating before he can drink them. '''He ultimately succeeds''', turning Ashton into a being with the essence of two Titans, [[BeyondTheImpossible something that shouldn't exist.]]…[[spoiler:and doesn’t exist to this point either, because as soon as the next episode begins, Ashton ends end vomiting up the shard again, showing that despite gaining a new arm and appearance, he's still not going to get the powers of Rau'shan because the Emperor of Fire has rejected him as a host due to his connection with Ka'Mort, making the entire sequence of events go from awesome to pointless, especially since it ends up docking him 2 points in Constitution for all of the strain that it had put upon his body.]]

* Both awesome and terrifying given the situation, we find out Laudna's patron is: Delilah ''fucking'' Briarwood. Laudna admits during the game of "What the Fuck Is Up With That" that the Briarwoods killed her, and mentioned that one of them is "in her head". When this entity has a brief conversation with Laudna before everyone goes to sleep, Laudna addresses this entity as "D", which narrows down the possible suspects to a very short list.

** Dorian wins the showdown, causing the other bard to [[IncrediblyLamePun storm]] off.

** Fearne and F.C.G help keep him up with round-by-round healing with Cure Wounds (which damages them from the heat each time), one [[LastChanceHitPoint Death Ward]] and Aura of Vitality (which requires a concentration check every time they take damage from the heat).

* Fearne is barely able to keep up with Chetney when he is lured into the bounty hunter's trap. The hunter tells her to stay away. It's just her and Orym, who is still trying to catch up, and for all anyone knows there are more enemies lying in wait. Her response?

* The fey dragon proves to be a massive problem for the group -- low HP and with a limited time left on the cloaks that keep them hidden. Out of desperation, Imogen casts Sending to beg Nana Morri for help, but receives no response... Before the fey dragon is suddenly tackled out of the sky by a massive, hawk-like beast. Whatever Nana did, it worked like a charm.

* As they're making their escape, Fearne and Laudna are caught just outside the portal back to Exandria, and won't make it in before the fey dragon in pursuit of them gets to shoot its beam attack again, likely knocking both of them out. Imogen and Ashton manage to save them by chaining their abilities -- Imogen uses Telekinetic Shove to push Laudna closer to Ashton, who then uses their Gravity Well ability to pull both Laudna and Fearne 10 feet towards them and into the gate.

* The Hells successfully destroy one of the Malleus Keys! Orym plants a stick of dynamite inside the machine while Laudna, Imogen and Fearne all hit the arcane cores on the outside with enough spells to overload and shatter them, reducing the entire thing to unsalvageable scrap.

** For our favorite halfling:

** As for Launda:
*** Everyone, including chat, knew the strategy was to use the teleport staff to get out, but they also knew Counterspell was a threat, so it became a battle of how to prevent that. When Ludinus launched a 9th level spell, Marisha used Counterspell herself and needed a 19. She got a 14 on the die exactly. Matt then tried to counterspell and failed.

* The fight that follows the above was an epic moment for Orym and Launda
** For our Favorite Halfling:
*** On his first turn, he was able to kill one of the Reilora that Imogen was able to pull into the lava, then used Seedling to pull one of the Humans into the lava, thanks to the fact he picked up a third attack as an 11th Level fighter.
*** On his next turn, he attacked and pushed the other Reliora into the lava and with six strikes thanks to Action Surge and killed him.

* In the middle of all of this Fearne got captured and the second plan was to force him to break concentration. Imogen finally got him to drop it with a well powered Lightning Bolt.
