One other possibility for Sam's next character, and it's a character he has already played in this campaign. When the group returns to Exandria there will most likely be members of the Mighty Nien there, and who was with the Nighty Nien the last time we saw them? Luc Brenatto.

This is just my perspective based on what I understood the deal as. The mission was a recon mission if I recall correctly. Nana could argue that they did, in fact, do recon before their brief return to Exandria. Therefore, she saw it through. Generally speaking, Orym should be screwed but Matt will more than likely try to protect the cast and not make Nana act as a normal hag would act and consider the deal broken.

There is an argument to be made that Nano Mori has fulfilled her bargain. They all returned to Exandria for 1 night, then went back. Depends on how Nano Mori would react. FCG could be back.

You missed a possibility for Sam's new character. FCG. Specifically, a reincarnated FCG. Fearne has Reincarnate. So she could bring FCG back in a different body. It doesn't invalidate FCG's sacrifice, it lets him continue FCG's story while taking it in a different direction. We can keep learning about FCG's past, keep exploring their relationship with FRIDA, but we also can have them explore what it means to be a flesh and blood creature. Like the situation with Nott/Veth, but in reverse. And you could have a Kingsley situation where FCG has some of the memories and personality, but is also different due to the change in form.
@ZodiacBandit2 ай бұрын
I think the issue with this is 1 Matt said “you know what this means right?” Which could mean fcg just dies but it might also mean their entire life force is gone and can’t be brought back just a theory tho and 2 Sam might not want to bring fcg back and ruin the sacrifice play they made
@jonathanhibberd99832 ай бұрын
@@ZodiacBandit I think the "you know what this means" is more "you know you're going to die". And specifically, there was a question of who else might be in the blast. Matt has always said he will work with what the player wants. If they want to come back, he'll try to make it work, or at least give the opportunity. I don't think Sam would want to just bring FCG back as they were. But I do think that he would be willing to do a Kingsley/Veth transformation to partially bring them back. In any case, it is a possibility, one they could do after their first long rest.

Two things on your take: The deal Orym had with Nana Mori was they get back to Exandria with everyone alive. That was already achieved when they found the portal and landed in the village. So using that logic, Orym needs to keep his part of the deal. There was no mention in episode 91 that Lilianna switched sides. She was only there to prevent Imogen from being killed by Otohan; but in no way was there anything that told on that Lilianna was switching allegiances.
