Synopsis

 * John MacDonald: Mica: You looked prepared for this session! What does your D&D and tabletop history look like?
 * @CostumerDelight: Marisha: What are Beau's first impressions of Reani? How does she feel about Reani's "Black-and-white" views on Good and Evil, especially after Caduceus had said that "bad guys" may just have different views than the M9?
 * NightWildWings: Mica: What drove you to include the vigilante aspect of your character and do you think that part of her life contributes to her black and white worldview?
 * @Calebisntonfire: Marisha: How does Beau feel about the M9 not asking her about her family name or past? Is she happy about it, or does she wish to share more about her life?

 * @Nomtheburritos: Marisha: Beau was the first one to bring up Yasha when finding out that Reani is an Aasimar. What are her thoughts on meeting an Aasimar with their patron connection intact, and how does meeting Reani affect Beau's thoughts on Yasha and her situation?
 * @FykesMeister: Mica: How long has Reani had her philosophy on right and wrong? Did she listen to her angel so adamantly even as a kid or did something change as she got older?
 * @Leomundstinyhut: Marisha: Beau declared herself the leader of the M9 this episode. While it seemed played as a joke, Beau make some big decisions for the benefit of the M9, like the teleportation circle. Does Beau see herself as a capable leader, when given the chance?
 * Seedy88: Marisha: Beau was willing to spend a lot of gold to get Caleb access to that teleportation circle. Why was spending all her gold preferable to spending the next month on goatback?
 * @Robertsvanes: Mica: Reani was particularly interested in information on poisonous plants and substances at the Archive. Is this a new interest or something she's been practicing for a while? Does she tend to use poisons in her missions?

 * @Daleytwin1: Mica: The conversation with Fen and ensuing explanation of her relationship with Reani showed that they still really care for each other. Does Reani regret her choices at all, given that they led to their relationship failing, or does she place the blame on Fen?
 * @Fuzzie_Face: Marisha: Beau seems more comfortable lately flexing her Cobalt Soul status, particularly to gain favor with people they meet. Have her opinions on being a member of the monastery changed, or has she just realized it's an effective bargaining tool?
 * @Frankelstein_: Mica: Why was Reani so quick to sign a contract that would threaten her life only so that the Mighty Nein could get a steep discount on the teleportation circle?
