Somewhere, far south, Simon sits on his porch, taking in the view of his village as he finishes his drink. His thoughts turn to Arn, and he wonders, "I wonder what he's up to on such a fine evening?".

Arn is cursed by the Gods for running away his duties, now he must see Setlements getting destroyed and people losing their home. I am seeing at episode 21 or 22 everyone that Arn meets in his journey living together at the end. Maybe in a new settlement called "Dragonsgrave".

It would make sense that the pillars repelled elves just to prevent the magical protection from being tampered with by mistake. It's like how people discuss ways to protect future generations from radioactive materials hundreds of years from now when symbols evolve and language changes. Unfortunately, the designers didn't account for Arn the wildcard.

I felt tense throughout knowing Arn was hanging by a thread. Oh Arn, you’re absolutely mad, what will he do next, we’ll have to tune in next time to find out.

@Bloodymuffin1100 10 ай бұрын

I disagree because the elves did not warn ARN about any of the protections that were in place. They obviously did not have the same level of respect or care because they're blacksmith endangered himself messing around with places he should not have been at either. The elves were being extremely haughty and secretive and so their secrecy caused an issue that did not need to exist. If a are in knew about any of the things in place there then he would have taken more precautions. The elves are victims but they also cause their own downfall. You can be snooty and secretive all you want and insult people but whatever that backfires on you because of the ignorance born of your selfishness then I feel no sympathy for them.

Oh Arn... you messed up so so bad... What I hate the most about these last two episodes is that I'm the kind of guy willing to do the extra bit of help so that others will like me, exactly like Arn did when he wanted to break the pilar in episode 8 to be liked by the elves... I don't think I could live with myself after messing up so bad! That elven speech at the end almost brought tears 😢, poor Arn. But Arn is honourbound, true to his word, I'm sure he will carry his quest until the end. I highly admire him.

@@MeMyselfandDieRPG Thanks for your reply. I am not only getting a strong inspirational dose, but also a reason to chuckle when watching MM&D. The way in which you blend a mature fantasy storyline with a relaxed and fun GM attitude is both entertaining and soothing. I also appreciate that a lot of the minis and terrain you use have a mix'n'match feel and are relatively affordable - this brings a feeling of "ah, I wanna go get my minis out of the shelf and play some solo rpps". Cheers for bringing some pure geeky joy during those gloomy times.

Despite the slight inconvenience to the elves, at least Arn had good intentions at the iron circle (after all, he was trying to do them a favor). I wonder if you ever thought that when he was wounded in the leg in season 1, that his wound would lead to a slight twisting at just the wrong moment, to bring down the iron pillar onto the iron circle altar, shattering it into three pieces, destroying the magical protection against the dragon, leading to an incinerated elven village (beautifully carved, I might add,...it took what, what, centuries (?) to get those amazing branch bridges to grow just right), leading to the death of all but a handful of elves and the exiling of Arn from elf culture and gaining him a new 'nickname"...'Havenbane.') . Well, at least Arn still has the Elven Forge-master's hammer (which is now un-cursed, or mostly so)! Maybe it will com e in handy when he tries to put Ulvatan back together, so he can give the dragon the shaft (and the spear head).

I was playing Fabled Lands last night (the physical book). I am a "save-scum" kinda guy when I play video game, abusing save states. So when I reach bad predicament in Fabled lands instead of living the consequence or restarting (in case of death) I tend to go back to my "save state" and pick another choice or reroll a failed contest. And for excuse I made my character have a time power where he can put a safe point whenever he want, one at a time (that is how petty I am) Last night was the first time I choose to live the consequence of my action with a heavy heart and fear of the uncertainty (I mean, I was left with 1 stamina, and lost all money and possessions). I was forced to walk out of my first town to another in near-death state until I was lucky to stumble upon some weapons and a large sum of money left behind by a creature guarding a cave (I waited out until it left). Seeing how you are willing to put Arne into such a catastrophe even though I believe you have an attachment to this character by this point is something very brave. I was preparing a one or two shots training sessions with Ironsworn feeling confident until I reached this episode. I don't know if I have the heart to put my characters into such danger but yeah, it is for narrative perspective so I need to brace myself. Thank you for the eye opening episode.

Well, our consolation prize is that Arn is going mad, and that Thagalos lives another day. If it wasn't apparent before, it should be by now that Arne was banished from the Iron Lands. The guy is a kid running with scissors through the kitchen just after mom mopped the floor. How many more epithets can Arne earn? At the end of this, I'd like to see merch with all of his epithets: Arne Kalipunki...the Bond Breaker...the Bane of Haven...flea of Thagalos...the Iron tack in my flip flops...etc. Also, I'm all for a coffee mug with the old "Simon Sucks" logo modified with Simon's name struck through and Arne's written above it! @Flash Rollerball, thanks for the inspiration!!!
