Hypothesis: Spoiler The reason that things can grow in the depths of the Vault and the reason that the count is still going is that all of the "gold" is actually mimics. Just, infinitely many mimics, disguised as gold pieces. After all, maybe the real treasure is the friends we killed along the way into the Vault.
Spoiler I really wasn't expecting that. I wonder if the rest of the priests are wearing similar outfits beneath the robes.
Spoiler: spoilers for new updoot CAT MASTER & CAT ARE FINE okay good game everyone we can go home now
Spoiler: Big fight scene Interesting that the people attacking Yre are riding reptiles of various types, while the priests allied to the Grand Dragon are riding spiders.
Seeing a bit of the Descent of Ishtar in that last bit of the Song of Maybe Spoiler: direct comparison They take a different turn at the actual opening of the gate, but I thought it neat.
Spoiler It's Lucky Felicia, the door-opener! Last time we saw her she was in fact opening a door, which is coincidentally when she lost her arm. Coincidentally.
!!! Feli!! I thought that design was too quirky and thoroughly considered for her to be killed off so quickly. That was too distinct a character.
hot take: i bet she adopts the cat that catdemon left behind (if he's actually dead, which i hope he isn't, but even if he isn't he's prob not coming back on the ship) and joins the troupe, if she can forgive cio :V
