Awww poor baby, we're all friends here. I promise none of the big kids here will tattle to your mommy or daddy if you do a little cursing. You can just say fuck.

Not sure how much backstory you have on the campaign, but for a quick explanation: He was saving his 1 and only 9th level spell slot for after the fight to cast Wish (in a very time sensitive attempt to get the Raven Queen to spare Vax's life). Because he was forced to use the slot during the fight, Sam was coming to grips with the fact that his best friend's character was going to die right after this fight.

It's definitely a time sink, I get it! If you have Amazon, you should give the animated adaptation a try. If you want a spoilery explanation of that scene in question: That scene is part of the big final fight. The character who used that 9th level Counterspell had been saving their 9th level all fight in order to attempt to break another character out of a deal that would kill them after the battle was over. By using the 9th level spell slot to keep the Big Bad from escaping (which would have been disastrous considering this Big Bad was a new god and they really only had one chance to kill him), it also meant their best friend was going to die with certainty. In that moment afterwards, they were mourning the loss of hope after believing all this time they could still use their magic to save their friend.

@@yourstepdads6675 I've already watched both seasons of the animated lol, and just recently started it over again. I wonder how much time had been put into these campaigns for them to get that attached to the characters that it brought him to tears, that's dedication right there. Thank you for that perfect explanation.
