So it's safe to assume Ludinus will have a stat block on par with >!Vecna!< from C1, assuming he's spent the last few centuries getting all his main stats to 26-30 range. Makes me wonder how imminent the showdown actually is? Ludinus seems content largely ignoring BH.

@Linuto @Ultragramps I think we’re pretty far from the finale of campaign 3 (barring a TPK). People thought what was going to happen after the confrontation at the Malleus Key and look how far we’ve come. I think there is plenty of story left.
Sorry, just seeing this. Should have used the word "inevitable" instead of "imminent."
I don't think the campaign is close to being over. That being said, >!Trent was a suitable encounter for the M9 at level 20 in the most recent live show,!< and I would be shocked if Ludinous was a less challenging fight. I'm guessing Ludinous will continue to be fought indirectly most of the campaign.
Just helping with the formatting, lemmy has a different spoiler tagging system that takes up about three lines and features a drop down hider:

Example
Tim has good instincts. I can vouch that he called the roll failure from Sam (on the teleport with a 69 afterwards for success).
I don't think Matt would let a TPK happen. With the action economy of 5e, the players have a big advantage and maybe that's why Laura said she was trading out Mass Cure Wounds for a different spell (and since Caduceus also had it).
So, like, Trent is done? No more Trent? Or is he gonna Delilah Briarwoods us and keep coming back?
Want to know what would have happened if Caleb/Gelidon swallowed the egg though?
They took care not to touch it (except Beau's ghost punch grab attack?), even when the egg was thrown at him, Caleb dodged it and used telepathy to send it to the demiplane. There is certainly potential for there being a Delilah-esque situation contacting the egg, but it might have just ended up trapping Caleb with Trent if he tried to swallow it. That moment had me sweating for a bit, I'll admit.
I've missed the last few episodes of C3 so I'm not fully caught up. Hope this doesn't spoil too much.
Oh is teleportation still a bit wonky now?
EDIT: I guess not...

Wow a bunch of L20 heroes and a L8 teenager!
Kaiju Battle!
This ends with Caleb burning Trent right? 🔥 🔥 🔥
That's fucked up Trent. I did not expect that, even from Trent.
"We can blame Caleb" hah! 🔥
Their costumes are amazing! Travis is GREEN!
And Sam, of course....
Night of the Living Sams / Army of the Sams / The Sammening / Mercer's Nightmare
LIVE ADS!! LIVE SAM ADS!!!
THEY'RE LEVEL 20!!
Level 20 and they're both 10 STR haha.
Also that Caleb art is hot!

Thanks again @Ultragramps@lemmy.blahaj.zone for your continued contribution to this community!
Just a request, maybe add C2 in the spoilers tag since this is probably a spoiler for all of C2? So something like [Spoilers C3E77, C2]
. Also I'm not sure this counts as C3E77 or next week's episode is, but we can leave it for now and figure it out next week :)
Excited to see M9 again!!
The Mighty Nein Reunion: Echoes of the Solstice has a run time of 5 Hours, the break will begin at 2 Hours and 43 Minutes.
Good point, I definitely failed on including C2. This is how a community empowers each member without judgement.

The green bottles with red tonic wine that 'Aggy' had is a reference to Buckfast Tonic Wine. A caffeinated, alcoholic beverage made by Benedictine monks. He also mentions a blue kilt to some applause, and it is speculated that the blue implies the Scottish Highlands, though blue appears in many tartans (patterns).

Looks like Fjord was planning to propose to Jester already when the party meets up with them. I noticed the frustration the way he said "of course" but assumed it was natural trepidation from facing deadly stuff. Now it makes sense that this big special day is coinciding with a massive kaiju battle, and Fjord is miffed.
