The Unexpectables is a weekly Actual Play role playing series, with Nadine "Monty Glu" Arnott serving as the Game Master, using Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. Monty is joined by players Chris Zito, Gaijin Goombah, Connor "Distortion Devil" McKinley, Monty's brother Curtis "Takahata 101" Arnottnote up until his departure, and Edward Bosconote who was originally a reoccurring guest. The setting of the game is the mysterious land of Alivast, a relatively unknown frontier land. The players' characters, each having come to this new land for their own reasons, form a band of adventurers, eventually dubbed the Unexpectables.The campaign streamed Wednesdays on the Unexpectables Twitch Channel until March 30, 2021 where the campaign ended at 201 episodes. The streams were originally archived on Taka's YouTube channel, but were relocated to an official Unexpectables YouTube channel on April 13, 2022. A major announcement (also on April 13, 2022) confirmed that the channel will still be active and releasing new content, primarily with a sequel campaign starting May 4: The Unexpectables II Alton Frontiers, a trailer for which can be viewed here.There is also a podcast, and two sister campaigns which air on alternate Saturdays: The Prince Division, a modern fantasy set in a different D&D setting; and Gateway, a post-apocalyptic game using a homebrewed system, inspired by the Fallout franchise. Additionally, since 2018, every October on the channel has become "Orktober", with Connor running an Ork-centered campaign within the Warhammer 40,000 universe until 2021, when it was re-jiggered into "Gob-tober" due to Games Workshop becoming more strict with their intellectual property rights.

comment
The Artifact: It doesn't take long for the official character art to become outdated due to the party losing and gaining equipment at a very frequent rate. This is actually lampshaded when the first noticeable instance of a character losing a piece with Task's helmet getting destroyed by Stillhavity.

Instant-Win Condition: In episode 101, all the party needs to do to win is wake up Omnimaw. This leads to a humorous situation where the boss of that encounter makes a dramatic entrance only for Omnimaw to wake up before it can do anything. Later, during Willow and Doros's wedding, the party automatically won when they got The Silver King's eldest son to yield.

Negated Moment of Awesome: When Borky is about to be sacrificed to Insdroc, he begins to make a speech denouncing destructive gods in front of everyone and tells them that the only god that he feels gives people power is Oreyara, which he ends on by attempting to break open his shackles with his bare hands...and rolled exactly one point too low for it to work.

Unexpected Gameplay Change

comment
Unexpected Gameplay Change: The Dog Zone saw the guys faced with a number of new gameplay mechanics and challenges. Episode 18, aptly named "Initial DnD", features a prolonged chase scene between the party and a cadre of fanatical Orun clergy. Episode 59, "Cruel Runnings", is all about Wacky Racing, also with references to Mario Kart. Episode 70 has a crab mech that the guys are forced to work together in order to use properly.

Power Creep, Power Seep: A lot of spells are weaker than their base D&D version either due to Monty finding them too powerful or in the case of Sending and Scrying, they can let the party solve most of the long-term questions a lot easier.

Genre Savvy: At the wedding of Einford's sister, Greckles is extremely on-edge, knowing that something bad befalls the party whenever they try to have a good time. Sure enough, the wedding is attacked by Gobbo Gourmet, a goblin pastry warlock who transforms the cake into a gelatinous cube. Likewise, everyone is on edge at the wedding of Willow and Doros, specifically at the Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace bit. Sure enough some of the Silver King's kids crash the party on his behalf in order to "test" the validity of the coupling.

Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace: Everyone is wary of this moment at the wedding of Willow and Doros, because they know the Silver King is likely to object. As it turns out, he sends his kids to act as his proxy in the matter, resulting in a formal fight.

Sacrificial Revival Spell: Hassrad uses a downplayed version of this: a spell which revives a recently deceased person, but requires blood sacrifice which depletes enough HP to match that lost by the patient, as well as a permanent reduction to one of the core stats of the caster and one other donor.

Poor Communication Kills
 The Unexpectables (Web Video) / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: The whole plot arc with Solly could have been solved a lot more amicably if various characters were more open about their intentions. Brorc didn't explain why he wanted to find Solly, and Greckles assumed something nefarious was going on. Solly clammed up about her past or true reason for being in Alivast and nobody really pushed to find out. In the epilogue of episode 20, Monty notes that of all the possible outcomes to the scenario, Solly getting corrupted and Stillhavity taking over the sun was the second-worst.

I Need a Freaking Drink: After his semi-breakup conversation with Ozzy, Panic sits at the bar in the middle of the day and orders a stiff drink. The normally snarky Helga sees his expression and pours a double. After his exhausting and stressful cooking competition experience is over, Tai immediately goes in search of strong liquor.

Androcles' Lion
 The Unexpectables (Web Video) / int_1f518822
comment
Androcles' Lion: A pretty classic example begins in episode 29, "Wild Hunt", when the party encounters a normal crab holding a knife. Monty expected them to squish the crab and take the knife, but instead Panic serenades it with his guitar and befriends it. In episode 34, "A Giant Performance", the crab turns out to be Crabbius the Mighty, a figure held in high reverence in the marine realm, and vouches for the party to the storm giant Stormbeard. Much later, in episode 68, Crabbius summons a horde of fellow crabs and rescues the party after they were thrown into the sea by the United Orun Clergy.

Deal with the Devil: The nature of Stillhavity's "deals". He offers what the other party wants the most and then uses that deal to forge a connection with their realm. This is especially bad when the one making a deal is connected to a deity, allowing Stillhavity to attack said deity.

It Sucks to Be the Chosen One
 The Unexpectables (Web Video) / int_224f98fa
comment
It Sucks to Be the Chosen One: Aasimar have a celestial parent who grants their child visions and blessings. Unfortunately, this hasn't really helped them. Brorc was beaten to near-death and exiled by his clan, likely due to his aasimar heritage. This remains a sore point for him. Solly was raised by a Knight Templar order that sees her liking a shady tree as a possible sign she's going insane. Her entire childhood was full of beating and training specifically meant to form her into a weapon of their god, who sends Solly agonizing visions. Ivan was a skilled farmer born to a god of agriculture, yet he desperately wanted to be an adventurer. Watching others explore the frontier drove him to rebel, leading to his death and Ginter's Folly. Hammergnar is the elf son of the dwarven god of drinking; his dad thought it was hilarious. Hammergnar has to work in the forges and go drinking with dwarves but would much rather be free to be an elf.

comment
Anticlimax: The party fought their way through the denizens of the sewers for two thirds of the chapter that went down as "Butthurt in the Sewer", found Mel, realized that everything about her offer said "bad idea", and left again, only to unexpectedly run into the infamous, long-dreaded Tiengo the Red Death, whose only interest in the party at that time was to recover the hat Greckles took. After learning that the tunnels beneath the Sweet Dragon is infested with a horde of ghosts the party spends an episode preparing for it. Only for the ghosts to end up being the result of an illusion spell and are completely harmless. It happens again in episode 134 "Stonks and Bonds" where the episode ends in a cliffhanger about Tai being kidnapped by presumably giant rats under the Sweet Dragon. In the start of the next episode "Getting Down to it" they investigate and learn that Tai is fine, as he was pursuing the rats since they stole a ham of his. Then they find Scarbbles is commanding them, making them worry again, only to learn that she was effectively leading the equivalent of an archeological dig.

Verbal Tic: Each of the fragments of the shattered god has one of these, in some way related to their function: Lys echoes the last word he speaks unless he's lying; Ith speaks in alliteration when possible; Aos has an echo at the beginning of each of his lines, Kai speaks in rhymes, and Tio often says "no refunds" at the end of his statements.

Parental Abandonment
 The Unexpectables (Web Video) / int_297ab1b9
comment
Parental Abandonment: Greckles was an orphan who didn't even know who his parents were. The worry that they didn't want him has left him feeling unworthy for much of his life. Later on, it's revealed that his mother died protecting him from a raid while his father seemed to of abandoned him and might have played a hand in exiling him from his home. Solly was sold to the United Clergy by her human family. Later events show that after she was born, she was kidnapped by the proto-Clergy, and they lied to her mother about Solly dying shortly after being born. Panic's mother ended up bailing on him the moment he was born, which ended up influencing a lot of his more unsavory qualities.

Beast Man
 The Unexpectables (Web Video) / int_2ab73660
comment
Beast Man: The setting achieves this trope by expanding on certain animal-like D&D races: particularly kenku (bird people), tabaxi (cat people), lizardfolk (guess) and Tritons (fish people). Instead of being bound to resemble a particular species, these races can resemble any of a wide variety of species, including those from different genii of the appropriate animal family. The most divergent seem to be the Tritons, who have had appearances as disparate as clownfish, blobfish, and squid. It's suggested that they, at least, live separately according to kind, as their living requirements vary so greatly.

Twin Threesome Fantasy: Two of the potential escorts one can get at the Romansion are a pair of elven twins named Cerythia and Derythia. Considering that Panic got the two of them after simply asking to be surprised it's implied that they deliberately pander to this fetish.

Besides tearing one of Mirehair's arms in order to get said baby to safety, it acts as a care-taker for the goats on the mountain it resides on, and was trying to find a mother for the baby, until the party came to get the baby back.

comment
Ascended Meme: The Twitch stream features a donation jar in the corner of the screen animated to look like Tarusk, with the donations taking the form of cupcakes dropped into his mouth. This spawned tons of jokes from the players and chat about Tarusk getting fat and randomly coughing up cupcakes. A few episodes after this was introduced, the party had to leave Tarusk in Willow's care for a while. When they return, he's gained about twenty pounds from eating too much cake and does cough up a piece of it at one point. Tai Borpington's introduction didn't describe him physically other than having a fish for a head, but fan artists consistently drew him as very muscular (or bara as the players put it). Eventually, Monty gave up and went with this in-universe.

Defector from Decadence: Willow, real name Elizabeth Eltmur, is the sole surviving scion of the Eltmur royal line. By all rights she should be the ruling queen in Eltmur, were it not for the fact that she orchestrated the scheme that got the Silver King to kill her family, faked her own death to get out of the kingdom, and disseminated the rumor that the sole surviving heir was a prince to throw potential royalist attention off of her. She did all of this because she hated what Eltmur was and wanted it to die, but it wound up being Not Quite the Right Thing.

Crapsaccharine World: Alivast. Yes, it's a land filled with new people and possibilities, that are very tolerant of races that are often discriminated against. But over two thirds of the land are being controlled by a flesh-eating fey forest, the government is incompetent at best and corrupt at worst, and there's no less than two notable world powers trying to invade the place at any point in time.

Noodle Incident

comment
Noodle Incident: Doros doesn't do public speeches after an unexplained incident. He also gets a distant, haunted look whenever the pygmy griffon causing trouble around town is mentioned. The city was ravaged by a giant gelatinous cube a few months before the protagonists arrived there. No one they have spoken to about it know any more about the incident. It eventually comes out that the event was caused by a cuisine-obsessed goblin warlock called Gobbo Gourmet, but the exact circumstances of the incident are never explained. Apparently the group that was hired to hunt down the smugglers' ring captured the Yugoloth by shackling its smaller arm to its penis. Since that adventure wasn't recorded, we're not likely to ever learn the full details that led to such a result. Whatever happened in the Romansion that led both Kay and Zeus to be deeply embarrassed whenever they meet.

Blessed with Suck

comment
Blessed with Suck: Being an Aasimar gives you a personal connection with one of the settings gods, makes you a natural at the god's field, and if they live in Alivast, allows them to almost immediately jump the social ladder up to being a council member. This also means that if you want to do something unrelated to that god's domain, like being an adventurer when you're descended from the god of agriculture...then you're shit out of luck. Your celestial parent will constantly hound you in your dreams if they don't like what you're doing, and most kingdoms heavily restrict their personal life, whether it be by forcing them into arranged marriages, or flat out making them slaves.

Curb-Stomp Battle: Helga against Borky at the festival's combat competition. She demolishes him in a single turn, with him clinging to consciousness just long enough to do a single point of damage before falling down. Borky versus the gnoll, Raver, on the sky pirates' ship. He dominates the fight without taking any damage, until Panic gets the crowd to mock Raver to the point of giving up. The Sweet Dragon Employees against the Monster's Culling group led by Captain Mirage, the former took no noticeable damage, while the latter had all but one member captured or killed.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 The Unexpectables (Web Video) / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Four adventurers board in airship in a massive cloud of pigeons. The hundreds of pirates on board immediately spot and disarm them. Happens again in episode 67 where they fight The United Orun Clergy, where a properly organized platoon of soldiers ultimately beat the party thanks to a combination of higher numbers and properly used defenses to wear down the group until they're forced to surrender. The Clergy's frequent abuse of the members that question them leads to plenty of defections when possible. Out of the seven clerics that fought the Unexpectables, five of them ended up switching sides before the end of the arc. Some Interspecies Romance can have some issues pop up, especially if there is a very noticeable size difference. When Panic slept with the Goliath Zeus, he wasn't able to walk properly for the entire day afterword and it's implied that Willow broke her wrist when trying to be intimate with Doros. When Panic accidently gave Hellina a free pass for a brothel (he was more focused on the places hot springs when he gave her the ticket) it was treated as a joke. Especially when she returns and recounts her experience clearly ignorant to the Romansion"s more risqué businesses. But when Panic meets some Romansion employees later it turns out that they were freaking out when they realize that they had a young cleric with them that didn't know that the Romansion was a brothel and had to put in a lot of leg work to stop her from finding out the truth and freaking out. After the constructs in Alivast became sentient it was noted that due to laws not accommodating for this earlier they are technically given free rein to travel to every district in Alivast. Rather than letting this slide the Alivastian council are noted to be freaked out by that and are scrambling to find a way to modify the laws to reign them in. Hiding a massive secret from your lover is going to cause a lot of strain when they find out, especially if your child is also affected by it. Euphoria keeping her Tiefling heritage a secret from Sergei destroyed whatever relationship they could of have, once Panic was born and was clearly a Tiefling. Brorc learns the hard way that suddenly proposing to a person who has no idea you're in love with them, nor someone who even had an idea she had a choice in the matter, might cause them to completely freak out. When they finally reach The Mountain of Repetition. Home of the Silver Kobolds, the party, Task especially, expect them to guide the group and solve their current issue. Then it turns out that randomly asking a secluded village to help with your problems leads to a lot of push back on their end, and just because they know a bit more than you do doesn't mean that they know everything, especially when it comes to the divine. This revelation leads to Task losing his temper repeatedly while there, worsening the problem. The only reason the party makes any progress while they're there is because Oreyara, the goddess worshiped in that region, is explicitly on their side.

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Played with. All of the constructs made by Artimus became self-aware after he died, thanks in some part to the involvement of the goddess Oreyara. They have each pursued crafts and occupations for which they were not necessarily designed (case in point, the hulking, spiked form of the Straightforward Good Time, who works as an escort in a brothel), but none have shown any inclination towards violence, and their religious leader, Log, encourages them to help people.

Always Chaotic Evil: Tracadian Werewolf's fall under this, only caring about eating people, or infecting them to expand the horde. A point is made to avert this for just about every other race though and believing in this ideology show's that you're either a naïve fool or a complete bigot.

Fantasy Counterpart Appliance: The high level of magic in Alivast results in some magic items being treated as commonplace items, in particular the tickets which serve as I.D. cards allowing access into restricted areas of the city, as well as simplified PDAs in that they keep track of quest progress. At the opera, the guards have wands which detect magic, similar to metal detectors, and there's mention of one patron deactivating a scrying stone just before the show, like a moviegoer turning off their cell phone.

But when it happens on short notice, Monty will contrive an explanation for them to be out of the way for that episode. In episode 47, Greckles was pursuing a lead about Solly's whereabouts while the party was hunting the Eltmur terrorist cell, and in episode 51, Panic was suddenly called to see Scarlet at a musical recital.

Wham Line: After having a tense but cordial meeting with Fleur De Mort, this question indicates that things are about to go downhill real quick. Task, while interrogating a red dragon captured from an exchange with the dragon cult that's been plaguing Alivast, pries into the identity of Darkus, the dragonborn who triggered the death of his tribe. The dragon's response: While speaking to Bob about Euphoria Grimtongue, who he recently met. He reveals that they actually have similar interests, and when asked to elaborate he drops this bombshell. In episode 135, as Solly explains what she learned during her trip to the Underdark, she reveals exactly what's been unsettling her since then.

And Your Reward Is Interior Decorating: As quest rewards, the party are often given Alivastian Credits which they can use to upgrade their tavern. So far they've added basic amenities such as a quest board, a kitchen, and several guard posts, before achieving the more robust expansions of a mage tower, musical stage, mail service, and bath house, a cleric ward, a fight pit, a well, a training room, a Temple of Oreyara, an Inn, a library, a blacksmith forge, and a garden.

They're so fanatical that they can't even nap in the shade because the dark is evil. And they don't brook any sort of questioning. It turns out that it's a side effect of their god Orun dying.

Gratuitous Japanese
 The Unexpectables (Web Video) / int_5558641
comment
Gratuitous Japanese: Greckle's bread and butter. In universe, Kenku originate from the Eastern Isles, an archipelago with a Japanese theme that's idiosyncratic with the western fantasy setting seen elsewhere. As such, the Avian language is Japanese, akin to how Common is English. Greckles uses Naruto-esque handsigns and jutsu phrases when using magic, and at one point struggled to explain the concept of "nakama" to Borky. Borky also uses Japanese for purely comedic effect; in addition to mangling the word "nakama" on occasion, he usually answers the tavern door with "moshi moshi". Comes back around with Remy. He was born and raised in the Alton region, so he's detached from the language and culture of the Eastern Isles. His one attempt at using the language is poor, and Greckles laments that he doesn't speak their mother tongue.

The Empire: The Kingdom of Eltmur was this, being horrifically racist and sexist and imperialist along with it; part of Remy's backstory (and the reason for his dislike of the Silver King) is that they deliberately stirred up trouble in his homeland and then invaded. They were so awful that Willow manipulated them into waking the Silver King, then told him about their plans to capture and kill him, resulting in the death of nearly the entire royal family and the destruction of the government. Now under the Silver King's rule he's making an effort to turn it into The Good Kingdom. There's also the United Clergy of Orun, a much larger country than Alivast and just as racist and belligerent as Eltmur.

Fantastic Racism
 The Unexpectables (Web Video) / int_57b80b45
comment
Fantastic Racism: As is standard in D&D, there are lots of races that often don't get along, for reasons that are more justified in some cases than others. All four of the protagonists are members of races traditionally considered monsters, so are used to prejudice, and frequently enjoy mocking humans with each other or with non-human NPCs. Alivast is an unusually cosmopolitan town with a "Racial Inclusion" principle that allows people like the protagonists to be treated fairly, and is one of the things that drew them to the region originally. But even then, it's revealed that the kingdom heavily favors towards the more traditional races. This is made apparent when the group goes to Tracadia, where nearly everyone they meet treats them like second class citizens at best, and at worst make it quite clear that they want the group dead. Later on, it's established that the Genasi of the Elemental Planes don't get along at all. Especially if they're of the opposing element with a multitude of racist remarks being thrown out by even the nicer natives the party meet.

Fantasy Counterpart Culture
 The Unexpectables (Web Video) / int_57d43e40
comment
Fantasy Counterpart Culture: For the most part, the countries mentioned in the setting seem to be generic medieval fantasy realms, and none of them have been seen in sufficient depth to show otherwise, but there are some clear analogues between certain countries and real historical places: in particular, Alivast's history thus far mimics that of the first settlements of the Americas, down to its discovery by a sailor named Christopher (in this case, with the surname Canary), albeit with considerably less slavery and religious persecution. The old-world countries are mostly reminiscent of Europe in vague ways, with specific details such as French toast being corrected to "Paraton toast". The Altmur region, based on its history and geography, is probably equivalent to either central or eastern Europe, though everyone from there has an English accent.

Shameless Self-Promoter: The party, especially Panic and Borky, like to shill their tavern whenever they or their employees are in the public spotlight.

The Unreveal: Regarding Lobo Slackjaw, leader of a ruthless monster hunting group called the Monsters Culling and The Heavy of a mini-arc between episodes 56 and 58. His race became a subject of inquiry among the fanbase, only to remain a question because he turns out to be a Miles Gloriosus who never faces the party directly.

Magic Mirror: At one point Task is... tasked with finding a mirror made from a scale of the dragon god Orthoc, which is also being guarded by the original Gold Dragon. When he does find it, it combines with Oreyara's powers to provide him to talk to people from his past life as Sosorin, his long dead family, and an adult Tarrusk.

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?
 The Unexpectables (Web Video) / int_5beef860
comment
Why Did It Have To Be Birds?: As kobold hatchlings are often snatched up and devoured by birds and even adults are prey for larger flying monsters, Task is understandably leery of any flying creature. This is not helped by constantly ending up in situations where he's grabbed and carried away by said monsters.

Drinking Contest

comment
Drinking Contest: Panic gets challenged to one by Adric, to settle their dispute from Panic calling the Sweet Dragon "ramshackle." Panic tries, and mostly fails, to figure out a way to cheat, eventually resorting to consuming a disgusting mushroom that helps mitigate the effects of alcohol. His cheating actually helps him- narrowly- to win, although he winds up regretting it almost immediately afterwards. For kicks, Borky and Scarbles also decide to join in. Borky, sadly, got a Critical Failure early on, but Scarbles manages to last nearly as long as Adric and Panic.

She does love him. She was told by her husband that the then-infant Panic had been drowned, leading her to believe that he was dead. She is overjoyed to see him alive and well.

Awesomebut Impractical: The way Multiclassing works in this setting. When a main character deals with their personal arc they get an option to multiclass into lore specific classes. The issue is that said arcs take place when the party's at mid levels limiting the customization that can happen with them. The fact that they're lore related also means that there's a chance that none of the options provided actually work with the parties stat lines.

Loyalty Mission: A rare PC variation but later on some arcs are set up to heavily involve the past of one of the main characters. Dealing with these arcs typically help's them with their emotional baggage, gives them a weapon upgrade, unlocks their multiclass options, and blesses them with one of the god fragments.

Fantasy Gun Control: Due to Monty's dislike of them, guns don't exist in this setting at all.

Also, when giving Task the ability to multiclass into Artificer, Monty explicitly bans him from making guns in that class.

comment
Beware the Silly Ones: Every character aside from major villains has a bit of humor in them, and nearly all of them can kick major ass if pressed. However, the undisputed king of this trope is Log the Construct Cleric; he has the personality and moral sense of a sweet-but-dim child, and Oreyara has given him enough power that he can summon celestials made of buzzsaws and, most worryingly, can cast 9th level spells! Monty has stated that, by merit of how she made him, he can potentially do anything within the sphere of being a Cleric, making him potentially the most powerful character in the campaign that isn't a god.

Let's Split Up, Gang!: While they generally obey the perennial advice to Never Split the Party while on a mission (though it is sometimes forced on them against their will), the party do split up on occasion while inside Alivast, under the assumption that it's a safe zone and should be fine. Since it's a City of Adventure, things sometimes do go wrong, and they have several times had to fight several battles at once in different locations.

Arc Words: The Solly arc had the phrase "A leash can be pulled from both ends" brought up a lot, in reference to the amount of trouble an Asimar can cause to their divine parent if pushed to much. More generally, it refers to the relationship between mortals and gods, who need each other in complex ways. Whenever the fragments of the dead god show up, expect to hear a variation of the phrase "I will lose much but gain so much more."

Phrase Catcher: The group's rag-tag nature often results in them being informed they weren't what someone expected. They eventually adopt it into their guild name, The Unexpectables.

Real Life Writes the Plot
 The Unexpectables (Web Video) / int_786bf97f
comment
Real Life Writes the Plot: Or script in this case. When given two minutes to come up with their insult for Stillhavity in Episode 22, Taka didn't have anything for writing. His resulting off-the-cuff speech is mangled, confusing, and not even all that insulting to anyone except an orc - which fits Borky perfectly. Borky has left the active party as of episode 174 due to Taka taking up a business opportunity that would conflict with the Unexpectables schedule-wise. The in-universe explanation is that Borky's decided to focus more on setting up his new cheesery and organizing the orc tribes he's forged alliances with.

Healing Hands: Panic is the primary healer of the team, having Cure Light Wounds and a wand with the same spell. Task later learns this spell as well. Quite literally with Digsby, who has the Lay On Hands ability as a paladin.

comment
Not Quite the Right Thing: Willow's (real name Elizabeth Eltmur's) plan to get her family killed and destroy the Kingdom of Eltmur from the inside worked nearly without a hitch; her family perished at the claws of the Silver King, she faked her own death and fled to Alivast, and she even threw royalist attention off of herself by disseminating the rumor that the sole surviving heir was a prince. Unfortunately, she didn't count on one thing; the Silver King being forced into taking over Eltmur, resulting in her having an ancient silver dragon with a bone to pick hounding her everywhere she went because he doesn't want the throne either.

Armor-Piercing Question: Remy discusses with Gruul the prejudice of his tribe against Tanarukks, since they have the potential to be recklessly savage. Gruul points out that while he himself is level-headed, his brother was a terrible leader, and is worried that his offspring might be anywhere in between. Remy asks how that's different from any other child, and Gruul is stunned.

comment
Arranged Marriage: The Aasimar in Alivast are required to eventually marry another Aasimar, considering that there's a grand total of five of them, the results are varied. While Alia and Balfor ended up being a Perfectly Arranged Marriage, Hammergnar and Ios have never met each other, and neither seems to care about being faithful. Though after the UCO's invasion of Alivast they do end up actually connecting.

Breather Episode

comment
Breather Episode: The "Dog Zone" mini-arc occurs right in the middle of Solly's arc, one of the darkest arcs in the campaign. The festival episodes (based on generic holidays) are mostly lighthearted with no (life-threatening) combat, is designed to let the characters roam around and goof off in a party atmosphere in between their more harrowing adventures. The party tried to enforce this after getting back from a very stressful adventure to the Underdark. Monty responded by framing them for assaulting a guard, forbade them from leaving the town, and tasked them with hunting down some dangerous demons.

Eldritch Abomination
 The Unexpectables (Web Video) / int_8774fb47
comment
Eldritch Abomination: Stillhavity, in SPADES. An inter-dimensional demi-god and the son of Girasil, the demon god of greed, whose form is described as an endless plane of flesh spotted by multiple fang-filled mouths and eyes. Official concept art just drives this point home. To date he's demonstrated: inter-dimensional contact through dream visions, teleportation, telepathy, mind reading, laying curses on those who displease him, Super Empowering, making magical artifacts, affecting the material plane from his home dimension (such as when he reduced Task's sister's helmet to dust), and, most disturbingly, generating life by literally "fucking himself". Omnimaw (Panic's demonic great grandfather) is also this, looking less like any sort of creature and more like a tower made up of mouths.

Wham Episode: Episode 20: After Solly was taken by Stillhavity, the crew finally meets up with Lys, their mysterious helper who reveals themselves to be the fragment of a dead god, and forces the crew to relive parts of their past, giving us a look at all their backstories, as well as the past of Solly, before they are dropped off in the realm of Stillhavity. Episode 61: Willow is revealed to be Elisabeth Eltmur, the last living member of the previous ruling family of Eltmur, it's also revealed that she is the one responsible for the Silver King's awakening, and subsequent killing of her family. Episode 67: The United Clergy of Orun launches a surprise attack on the ship the Unexpectables were on, and due to their staggering numbers, end up beating them. Remy tries to allow himself to be taken as a hostage, in return for mercy, but the Clergy just throws everyone else overboard to sink Episode 97: Bob reveals that both Orun and Omnimaw are dying and that their deaths would have far-reaching consequences in the world. With the United Clergy of Orun's slide into insanity being just one of the side effects. It's also established that Euphoria steals voices in an attempt to save Omnimaw's life, and the party finally meets her near a gate that leads to Omnimaw's realm.... which also showcases a second mouth growing out of her neck. Oh, and Tubbs is back too. Episodes 112 to 114: Lys' very presence in Alivast is preventing Outsiders from returning to their home planes, meaning that they can become Deader than Dead in the material plane. Not only that, but Yugoloths were replacing officials in the government for a long while, including Stendin who died a year ago. We also finally know Lys's full name: Lysalivast. Episode 118 Log steals the book that was used to make constructs and is heavily implied to have brought it to Winter and the Silver Kobolds to get it translated. During the night the entire Dragon Cult attacks the city of Alivast, with its numbers reaching the thousands, while in the middle of the invasion Task finds Darkus guarded by a pair of Ancient Dragons. The episode ends with a three-headed dragon, implied to be Insdroc, lands on the Attic and Task recognizes his blue head as the Dragon that killed his clan. Episode 187: The party finally revives Lys. While conversing with the party Lys reveals The End, an evil fragment that's the false voice that the UCO listens to. When the party ends up returning home it turns out that months have passed and the UCO have already taken Alivast.

Asshole Victim: By all accounts, the Iron-Oath Kobolds absolutely deserved being slaughtered by a dragon, being a tribe founded by a group who left their old clan to be enslaved, and made gained most of it's members by stealing the eggs of other Kobolds, and slaughtering anyone who resists them. The people who had their voices stolen by Euphoria were chosen for that fate because they mistreated her in some way. She admits this is petty, but Omnimaw has to be fed voices so that he doesn't die, which would destabilize the balance of gods and devils. The two boys who ended up making the rat king in the second Mercs special, which involved them torturing countless rats that didn't fit the criteria, and forcing the ones that do to be joined at the tail. Needless to say, the rat king killed them the second they could.

Badass Bystander: During the Dragon Cult's attack on the city, Borky is assisted in fighting a dragon by two unknown dwarves who were apparently just passing by and decided to help.

In Vino Veritas: The heavily-intoxicated Rivy is quick to point out anything she believes to be racist, like assuming she and Panic are a couple because they're both Tieflings, or a mother Kenku naming her daughter who looks like a robin, "Robin."

Invulnerable Horses: Zig-Zagged depending on what the focus of the encounter is. If it's about defeating an enemy the party's various mounts are immune to damage but if the focus is on either escape or chasing something then the mounts become valid targets for enemies

Tragic Keepsake: Task's bow and helm were originally his sister's. They're the only items he has left of his family until Stillhavity steals the helm and Lys makes him burn the bow Panic's guitar is the only memento he has of his mother and is very protective of it. At least until he actually finds his mother.

Cerebus Rollercoaster: The series is generally lighthearted, with silly characters and lots of strange creatures that invite comedy, but the ultimate villains (especially Stillhavity) are genuinely terrifying, and each of the protagonists has serious grief in their past. As such, the show can ricochet from funny or heartwarming to sad or horrific multiple times in a single session.

Foreshadowing: There's been plenty of it throughout the series. When fighting against the United Clergy of Orun Panic is able to knock out their cleric Hellina with only his Hellish Rebuke. Later on we learn that most of their clerics are very underprepared for combat. When talking to Dellia, an Assimar of Orun she makes comments about the sun growing colder. Orun the sun god is dying and the sun is tied to his health. When the party tries to use a mending scroll on Lys's broken mask, the scroll is changed to say the word "Etheal", which is a magic pool that can properly heal gods and celestials.

It's All Junk: During his vision quest, Lys tears into Task for clinging to his sister's bow and helm as keepsakes, as it's keeping him from moving forward with his own life. This proves important later as he easily refuses Stillhavity's offer to return the stolen helm. Panic has a softer moment when he finds the splintered remains of his guitar, and is able to let it go, because it represents his connection to his mother, and having actually found her, he doesn't need it anymore.

Mood Whiplash
 The Unexpectables (Web Video) / int_a4c37cbe
comment
Mood Whiplash: The generally light-hearted and nearly cartoonish nature of the show occasionally gives way to some pretty heavy drama, some of it quite bleak. Festival episodes are known for this, being fluff-heavy sessions with little to no combat which invariably end in heartbreak of some sort. The strongest case so far, though, has been in the Orc Recruitment arc: after they take a job on a merchant vessel, the party sees a solid couple of sessions enjoying high-seas hijinks, only to get ambushed by a far superior force of the United Clergy of Orun. Episode 67 is a painful slog as they fight a slow battle of attrition against a considerably more prepared enemy. After a heart-rending cliffhanger in which the four are bound and thrown into the waves, episode 68 starts with a description of their plight, only to suddenly jump to a guest character: Zenrio, a clownfish-triton with a surfer mentality. As the party now engage in sub-aqueous hijinks, their antics are interrupted by scenes of Remy, who is still in the Clergy's clutches and whose future is uncertain.

No Woman's Land

comment
No Woman's Land: Eltmur was this before the Silver King deposed the ruling class; women were not allowed to pursue education, even to the point of being forbidden to read. As such, a substantial proportion of Alivast's human female population were originally refugees from Eltmur. Paraton is increasingly this way, at least as seen by the female clerics of the United Clergy of Orun, who are assigned subservient positions to male paladins, who they are expected to have children with at least some of whom have no issue with abandoning their clerics or even using them as human shields. The orc tribes are described this way, to the point that Alice, fleeing the destruction of her village by a dragon, was forcefully adopted by an orc tribe and an orc member of that tribe had to accept exile to free her. Further, an anthropologist seeking to explore the orc-controlled lands of Alivast stipulated that females must not apply to be his escorts. Borky also implies that his own tribe had similar tendencies, with his father Slasha having disproportionate authority and literally 100 wives. Although, of the tribes seen thus far, women have been treated with some respect and given some rights, though expected to adhere to strict gender roles. Zigzagged when it comes to the Iron Claw clan. While they're currently led by their female elder and a council composed of the chief's wives it's made apparent that the only reason they're in control is due to the current chief being easily manipulated and he still has the final say on matters in the clan. Their deal with Alivast also has them asking for more females to help repopulate and make it clear that they can never leave the colony.

comment
Unusable Enemy Equipment: Nine times out of ten, whenever an enemy has a weapon or other equipment that provides a noticeable boost in their combat abilities. They either disappear along with the enemies' bodies, or they're somehow tied into their wielder and are only a regular weapon when wielded by anyone else. At one point the party was able to get around this by stealing the weapons and armor from a boss that they know will disappear with their gear when they're defeated.

Dramatic Irony: Remy ends up spending a good 4 sessions thinking that all of his allies are dead, while the audience know that they were rescued and are trying to find him. A good chunk of the suspense that comes from the party's first interaction with the natives of the Earth Plane is that the audience is already aware that all the natives, along with Greckles and Remy, are being controlled by an unseen monster halfway through while the heroes have to figure it out themselves.

You All Meet in an Inn: A variation, Episode 1 opens with the party entering a tavern after completing their first job, and taking a break, before an elven woman comes in offering them their second job. However, in Episode 0 of the podcast it does seem that Task, Panic, and Greckles really did meet in that tavern (and found Borky working for John Fleetfinger a bit later). Later the party acquires their own tavern, and thus naturally meet many people in it.

Retcon: Panic was originally of the Bard College of Thunder, a homebrew subclass with a heavy metal theme. This was changed to the College of Glamour when he reached level 6 because it got heavily remade by it's creator and they couldn't find the original version they were using During the beginning of the Constructs and Dragons arc the party are told that they need to leave Alivast quickly due to the dragon cult telling the council that they'll trade their hostages for Task and Winter and they're already hunting for the party. Later when the party comes back, it got changed to the council deciding to see if the party could handle the cult, and the hunting groups were formed by the families of the hostages who heard of the exchange through deliberately leaked info.

 The Unexpectables (Web Video) / int_b3eecaae
comment
Colony Drop: In a plan he describes as "full of dumbass energy", Panic has the idea of combining his Dimension Door spell with Zenrio's Polymorph to drop a player-turned-brontosaurus onto the enemy. The plan undergoes numerous tweaks, especially in the midst of battle, but ultimately works, taking out the enemy sorcerer and one paladin instantly.

City of Adventure
 The Unexpectables (Web Video) / int_b408c009
comment
City of Adventure: The City of Alivast serves this purpose, with the events happening inside the city walls being just as exciting as the team's journeys elsewhere. Ironically, the city was specifically designed to avoid this, with the city itself and the various sectors within being guarded by both magic and muscle to prevent undesirables causing trouble. However, the sheer amount of magic and racial friction in the city causes situations to flare up periodically regardless.

Epic Fail
 The Unexpectables (Web Video) / int_b4eff8a8
comment
Epic Fail: Rolling a natural one will earn a lavish description from Monty on just how badly the player has screwed up. Perhaps the worst instance was when Borky almost killed Panic. Outside of natural ones, Greckles gets a bad one while the party is traveling through a marsh. He manages to stumble into the mouth of a frog monster, losing half his health, and leaps away... to land in the mouth of a second frog monster which knocks him unconscious. It was only a lucky roll by Monty that kept him from being swallowed and digested on top of that. And all before Greckles even had a chance to attack.

comment
Too Dumb to Live: Turns out the Genasi in Elemental Plane of Earth neglected the arcane and reading so much that nobody alive has any idea how to make the seal to deal with Doketsu, and their leader's only plan is to repopulate their people over twenty years and fight back again. Needless to say, when the party finds out about this, they're less than pleased.

Love Triangle
 The Unexpectables (Web Video) / int_b7e0c5ff
comment
Love Triangle: Brorc, Greckles, and Solly are in a weird version of this. It's clear that Brorc's in love with Solly, and sees Greckles as a potential love rival. But it's ambiguous on whether Solly or Greckles see each other in a romantic light. Episode 103 clarifies it a bit: Greckles does love Solly, but is more than willing to step down if there is a person who can make her happy. Meanwhile Solly doesn't seem to be romantically interested in anyone due to her issues with her early life and states that she won't marry Brorc unless he's capable of telling the truth about Ginter's Folly. Eventually it gets settled with Solly denying Brorc's proposal and wanting to pursue a relationship with Greckles.

Forced Transformation: In party's first meeting with their boss, Abacus, she becomes annoyed with Borky's insensitive questions and turns him into a turtle. They later learn she turned Balfor Balton into a rabbit, inciting Balfor to say he and Borky are "transformation buddies". Zenrio mainly uses his Polymorph spell to buff himself or an ally, but on one occasion he turns a pair of enemy paladins into lobsters.

Episodes 112 to 114: Lys' very presence in Alivast is preventing Outsiders from returning to their home planes, meaning that they can become Deader than Dead in the material plane. Not only that, but Yugoloths were replacing officials in the government for a long while, including Stendin who died a year ago. We also finally know Lys's full name: Lysalivast.

Berserk Button: Few things will piss off Task more than being lied to, especially by people that he trusts. Adric Metal-Mane's is insulting his work. Whenever the party contracts him to renovate their building, he adds frilly and soft things for Panic (who called the basework "ramshackle"). Stillhavity's is losing his pawns, the reason he ends up antagonizing the party is because the ended up killing one of his slaves during their first mission for Alivast.

Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: Faced with the demonic demi-god Stillhavity, Task tells him (repeatedly) to go fuck himself. He did after the first time. Panic not only terrifies the enormous flumph abomination in Stillhavity's realm, he rebukes it so hard its heads burst into flames. He then follows this up by insulting Stillhavity in person before literally flipping him the double birds. In Episode 22, all of the party insult Stillhavity as part of Lys's escape plan.

Hold the Line: The main fight with the Monsters Culling follows this format, as the enemies are trying to reach the changeling baby, Thomas, and the party doing anything to stop them, until reinforcements arrive. The Unexpectables fare so well they almost win outright without needing the help. The Underdark Arc culminates in this, as the party holds off waves of devils in the Realm of Discord as Panic and Euphoria thrash on their instruments in order to wake up Omnimaw. This is also used in one of the final oneshots as Lily needs to lead a small village's defenses to hold out against The Orun Clergy until helps arives.

Cooking Duel: Tai Borpington, the Sweet Dragon's resident chef, spends weeks preparing for one of these at the Alivastian Festival. Suffice it to say that it is Serious Business. Tai almost has to give up after he finds out, on the day of the competition, that he needs a sous-chef to accompany him, which he resolves by enlisting Borky. Hilarity Ensues, and Tai manages to win second place.

All Part of the Show: When the party attends a wedding between an elf and gnoll, the proceedings are so bizarre that when the cake starts growing and absorbing people, they are initially unsure if it's part of the intended festivities. After they defeat the cake's creator, the other guests assume the attack was some kind of clever entertainment.

Schmuck Bait: The sled given to Task and Greckles for the Wacky Racing interlude has a Big Red Button with a sign saying "DO NOT TOUCH". On seeing it, and having no idea what it does, Task immediately resolves to use it in the final stretch of the race, even if it's not needed. What it actually does is launch the sled hundreds of feet into the air, endangering the riders and costing them what had been an assured victory.

Tiengo and Quarion show up near the end of episode 58, helping the party finish off the chimera that was the last remnant of the Monsters Culling expedition force. Downplayed since the party was actually holding their own, due to expert preparation for the encounter. Also happens in episode 100 as the party is struggling with Captain Mirages crew, the Sweet Dragon employees come in, and turn the tide of battle.

Contrived Coincidence: While in the Elemental Plane of Water, the party ends up sleeping next to a whirlpool that connects it to the Material Plane. While sleeping a pirate ship comes out and not only is the captain of it sympathetic enough to the queen of the water plane to help them out but his ship is a perfect counter to the baby Kraken that guards the enemy's stronghold. While in the Air Plane, Borky misses with a javelin attack and it sails downward, with the party noting that'll cause someone a bad day when it finally hits the ground. Monty explains that the Earth Plane is at the bottom. Several sessions later, while fighting the Big Bad of the Earth Plane, the javelin falls out of the sky and deals the killing blow.

Mars Needs Women: The Iron Claw orc tribe has a severe disparity in the number of women vs. men, leading to the chief claiming any woman who enters Iron Claw territory as one of his wives. When Borky attempts to negotiate with them, the Iron Claws say flat out that they want women as part of the deal with Alivast. The party is very understandably put off by this and make it exceedingly clear that the only women who will join the tribe will be ones who do so of their own free will. The fact that they will not be allowed to leave voluntarily will also make that a very hard sell.

Running Gagged: When it was revealed that the ship that Borky took to Alivast was ran by Vampires Taka decided to have a running gag with all of their names being thinly veiled disguises for famous vampires. This lasted until Conner told him (both in and out of character) that the joke's gotten old and Monty plans on actually doing something with them,

Snap Back: The dwarven craftsmen in Alivast are able to rebuild it within 24 hours no matter how much collateral damage it accrues even over a thousand dragons razing the city only makes the rebuilding efforts take a week.

Kill and Replace: The Yugoloths use this tactic to take over significant portions of the Alivast city guard, over the course of about a year. Overlaps with Capture and Replicate, since at least some of the guards were held prisoner in the hope that they would forsake their gods to save their own lives.

comment
Decapitated Army: Once Darkus is killed his group is immediately disbanded, likewise whenever one of the Primordial Oni is dealt with their army is quickly routed This is invoked during the Eclipse arc as Alivast is way too weak to deal with the UCO so their only hope is for the party and Solly's group to infiltrate Peraton to assassinate the UCO higher-ups and use the resulting chaos to push out the forces occupying Alivast.

Tai Borpington's introduction didn't describe him physically other than having a fish for a head, but fan artists consistently drew him as very muscular (or bara as the players put it). Eventually, Monty gave up and went with this in-universe.

comment
Trick Arrow: In addition to conventional enchanted arrows and Ranger spells that are triggered by hitting a target, Task sometimes ties items to his arrows to achieve unusual effects. This ranges from practical applications like sending a rope across a gap so the party can climb it, to lobbing a bottle of chemicals into a lava pit to impress some earth elementals. Whenever Task gets his hands on a strange item that can be used offensively, he considers tying it to an arrow.

Hold Up Your Score: Done by the four judges in the fall festival's cooking competition, with such gags as Greckles giving the infinity symbol for one dish he particularly likes, and Aila giving each entry a score of 0, to reveal at the end she thought the scorecards were a menu.

Hugh Mann: In episode 38 the party finds a mannequin among the loot of a pack of hill giants, and promptly name it "Hugh Man". The trope comes into effect in episode 42 when they use it, dressed up in whatever items they have available, in order to lure a couple of bugbear sentries into a trap.

Would Hit a Girl: In Tracadia, the party is attacked by a group of vampires, including one which has the form of a young woman (described consistently by the players as a little girl despite Monty's attempts to correct them) They unhesitatingly use the greatest available force to try to bring her down as quickly as possible.

Trial by Combat: This can happen in weddings held in the Avan faith, as anyone who objects can fight the bridal couple's guards to test their union. This happens with Willow and Doros, causing the Unexpectables and several of the Alivast city guard to face off against some of the Silver King's kids, acting as his champions.

No-Gear Level: Episodes 33 and 34 feature the party without their weapons and most of their magical items, because they had left these behind in order to attend an opera before being captured by sky pirates. The Dog Zone mini-arc also sees them without gear due to being dogs. In episode 67, the party is defeated by the United Clergy of Orun, stripped of all valuables, and thrown into the sea except for Remy, who is kept as a hostage. Though the main four survive thanks to the intervention of Crabbius the Mighty, they are only able to retrieve one special item each in the following episode and have to make do with what they can find or acquisition from helpful Samaritans.

Running Gag
 The Unexpectables (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Almost every recurring character has at least one, especially the main party: Borky's morning ritual, which he performs every day to the increasing irritation of everyone else. Greckles diving into or swimming through bushes when he enters stealth, often described in a cartoonish way. Panic arousing the attraction of almost everything he encounters, often without intention. When discussing metatextual information such as his hit points or damage dice, Connor will have Panic suddenly break into a robotic voice. Task being mistaken for a dragonborn child. Tarusk, a draconic creature, being mistaken for a dog. After being reborn, he is treated as a normal child, despite clearly being a dragon. Scarbles, the tavern's main server, always appearing right behind Borky when he asks for her. Any time a character makes a purchase, they will be asked if they want the item gift-wrapped, even if it's something that could not plausibly be a gift. After going to Tracadia, the party ends up complaining about it whenever possible, only to be baffled when others say that it's a wonderful place. For some reason, Greckles keeps getting swallowed by various enemies. invoked Whenever Task does an impressive amount of damage expect Monty to say "Rangers are underpowered" In a whiny tone to mock the typical view of the base rangers Monty dropping dice, which occurs at least once an episode no matter how careful she tries to be. Bosco's repeted attempts to deny that Remy is more than a guest star. Even though Remy has been in the majority of the series and appeared in half of the seasonal artwork.

She eventually fled after stealing a set of antique armor, but not before taking out Cade's eye with a hot poker.

Hopeless Boss Fight: The fight against the United Clergy of Orun's raid vessel is this, not only was the group outnumbered almost 3 to 1, but the Clergy's buddy system meant that any damage they did would have been instantly mitigated, to make it worse, it's later revealed that Athtar, their leader, is more than capable of fighting the entire group on his own.

Brick Joke: In "Curtain Call", Task summons Tarusk while the party is fighting Sky Pirates. They end up captive on the pirate ship and whisked away before he arrives. Three episodes later, after they get back home and the plot is well resolved, he finally arrives, having spent the entire time swimming in the ocean trying to catch up to them. While in the Plane of Air, Borky misses a javelin throw, and it ends up falling into the void below. Much later, when they're in the Plane of Earth, it falls from the sky and impales a just-surfaced Doketsu.

The Corrupter: Stillhavity's bread and butter. Not surprising considering he's the son of Girasil, the demon god of greed. He demonstrates great interest in striking deals with beings of the material plane, though he will always find some way to twist the deal in such a way that serves his own interests or amuses him, and corrupt the deal's recipient into a new, destructive "toy". The first example is his deal to preserve Raunfalt's kingdom and legacy. To do so, Stillhavity made the kingdom and all mentions of Raunfault's name immune to the ravages of time. However, he also bound the king as little more than a puppet, who slaughtered the entire kingdom and all of its contemporaries so nobody remained who knew his name.

Dark and Troubled Past
 The Unexpectables (Web Video) / int_fed93e1b
comment
Dark and Troubled Past: Quite a few characters but episode twenty spends almost an hour examining the nature of the Unexpectables' pasts: Panic was shunned as a child because of his demonic appearance. He was helped by others to pass Bard College but refused to help anyone else and seemingly has extreme commitment and abandonment issues due to his parents not loving him. Greckles was abandoned as an infant and exiled by the family of his beloved for being unworthy of the Tengu. As a gift, Lys showed him the truth: That his parents died when a hobgoblin raiding party invaded their palace while he was still an egg. Borky has issues with his father and greatly misses his deceased mother and seeks to know why she died. Task is the sole survivor of his entire civilization after the dragon they sought to ally with and worship turned on them. He has dedicated his entire life to avenging them. Brorc was sent to retrieve a fellow Aasimar, Ivan, who abandoned his post with his clergy. Brorc apparently killed him instead, resulting in Ginter's Folly, and is still haunted by it. Poor Solly spent her entire life taught to be terrified of darkness by the United Church of Orun, even being punished for simply resting in the shade on a sunny day. She was beaten for speaking out of turn and ostracized by her peers when they heard the adults talk about the consequences of an aasimar going insane. She was beaten for not conforming to the Church's ideology, forced into harsh training while a child, and branded for releasing a drow mother and child from captivity. The final straw that broke her, however, was when several paladins of Orun found out she had been teaching flumphs about Orun, and resolved the situation by slaughtering every single flumph she had come across. This was such a horrific experience that Stillhavity "tempted" her by simply appearing as a flumph in front of her.

Everything Trying to Kill You: While not technically the case, Tracadia feels this way, between werewolves, vampires, and horrific raven creatures, not to mention the instilled hostility of the general populace toward Orcs. The party happening to land in the country during an increased level of activity in an already very unsafe part of the country doesn't help.
