In this conversation, we start with an innocuous subject, but then turn the discussion to methods and techniques available to successfully role play characters that might have a higher mental stat than the player playing them.

A difficult confrontation forces the party to reckon with the consequences of what has been separated and left unresolved. As they seek clarity from an impartial source, they quickly discover that objectivity offers no comfort—and even fewer concessions. With answers hard to frame and truth difficult to reach, the path forward grows more uncertain.

In this conversation, we explore the pros and cons of revealing the difficulty class of a skill check—both before and after the roll. We talk through how each approach can affect player decision-making, tension at the table, and trust between players and the DM, and why different moments in a game might call for different levels of transparency.

Plus, special thanks to our friend Dar for coming in and asking some additional questions which led the conversation to some game theory and some observations on interpersonal interactions.

Quill’s map becomes the centerpiece of the group’s debate, its contours raising more theories than answers. Yet the Halls offer little time for contemplation. The stillness fractures, shadows move with purpose, and the party finds themselves forced to defend their progress from the Halls' more hostile inhabitants.

Welcome back to Beddlym’s Social Hour! Today we’re talking about how to handle lulls in gameplay, ways to make shopping actually interesting, and different styles of presenting combat that keep the table engaged. And somewhere in the middle of all that… we have an unexpected visitor. Because sometimes real life rolls initiative, too.

In the Foyer of Relik’s, reflections bend and truth fractures. As the party confronts haunting paintings and the unnerving Mirrored Butler, visions twist reality itself—blurring the line between what’s seen and what’s real.

As Drevin’s departure leaves old wounds exposed, the party splinters between pursuit, reflection, and uneasy truths. When a gilded golem awakens and Willa commits to their cause, they set their sights on the Halls of Relik’s—where long-buried rituals and hard-won resolutions await.

Old ties resurface and new magic reshapes the party’s path. Quill, weary of fractured conversations, expands a simple spell into a ritual that unites every voice—earning Lenore’s rare admiration. Grom uncovers a chilling truth in Duxon’s oath book and bestiary, while Willa shares a poem she cannot remember writing. As the Tattooed Man withdraws with Lenore and Drevin vanishes once more, bonds are tested, shadows deepen, and preparations begin for journeys that reach beyond the Material Plane.

While Grom and Tylylor recover at the Verdant Hearth, Duxon and Quill step into the sleepy bustle of Pointe Theus for what should be a simple shopping trip. They meet a fast-talking gnome whose general store feels like an organized accident, overflowing with oddities and forgotten treasures.

But under the sheltering trees at the edge of town, drizzle collecting on her canvas canopy, they encounter a stranger far less ordinary—Alihya Nevercross.

To Duxon, she appears radiant, regal, and serene.

To Quill, her skin is parchment-thin and written upon, her eyes wells of ink and insight.

Neither description matches the other. Both are true.

As the party inches closer to the Halls of Relik’s, the world itself seems to fold and watch.
