Cast Q&A part 2

 * @Tabenitor17: Marisha: Is Thoreau's encounter with the fortune teller tied to how Beau felt about Molly and/or why she took Molly's tarot cards when he died?
 * @Wizardsimulator: Travis: We haven't really gotten to see much Paladin action yet. How is Fjord settling into his new role? Does he intend to preform specific acts of service for the Wild Mother, or does he see things being business-as-usual?

Fan art of the week

Cast Q&A Part 3
'''Travis: In the new character art we see Fjord's tusks have grown back to be visible. Is this because of Jester's encouragement to accept them as part of himself, Nott's struggle with her own appearance, or something else?''' (from Alex Douglas) ANSWER as longer more descriptive text, rather than as bullet points.
