From Syl’s point of view, these books are basically one of those cliche movies where the teenage girl really wants to race horses but her father won’t let her because her mother died racing horses; then there’s this one horse who won’t let anyone ride him but she KNOWS has the potential to be great, so she sneaks out and trains him and even though one time he throws her so her leg breaks and her dad freaks out, they eventually win the big race and save the farm. In the very end her dad begrudgingly pats the nose of the older but not quite retired racehorse who’s been begging him for sugar cubes every time he came to the stability to drag his daughter out, a sign that in the direct-to-dvd sequel, he may take up riding again as well.
The best part is that the role of the horse goes to the guy whose hatred for horses is a literal fandom meme
“You know what, I’ll roll Insight on Amaram… and, that’s a three.”
“He is quite possibly the most trustworthy person you will ever meet. You have never seen anyone so honest and morally upright.”
“With that last taunt, Sadeas walks away-”
“I kill him.”
“What?”
“I stab him in the eye while he’s not expecting it as a surprise round. He’s not wearing his armor, so my 23 definitely beats his AC, he hasn’t had a chance to rest after whatever damage he took getting here, and I just dealt max damage. Also I jumped him, so he’s prone now.”
“You get that this will have political ramifications, right? Your dad will be really mad at you?”
“He’ll get over it. For my second attack, I stab him again in the same place.”
“Alright this is my level 1 Rogue. Her name is Veil, she has the Urchin background, she grew up on the streets before–”
“Shallan you don’t have to make a new character sheet every time you multiclass.”
“What?”
“Hey can I be a guest PC for a session?”
“Sure, do you want to play your character from our political intrigue campaign last year?”
“Is that okay? I mean, I liked playing Vivenna, but that game was in a completely different system, and none of the magic lines up…”
“We’ll just have her be mysterious it’s fine.”
“I roll Investigation on Nergaul.”
“Alright. I’ll give you advantage, since you’re so familiar with the Thrill.”
“Nat 20! Rolling to confirm… another Nat 20!”
“You understand this entity completely. You have seen into it’s soul. I’m just going to give you all my notes on this boss, that’s how well you understand it.”
Kaladin’s every escape attempt:
“I roll to escape, 16”
“You get out of the walls with the others. Roll for deception”
“…….1”
“Ok, now you’ve done it, you’ve soulcasted the boat into smoke, now roll to escape.”
*rolls a nat 20*
“The… the creature alongside the boat… Picks you up and carries you to shore.”
“You’re on the beach Shallan, what do you do now.”
Argh I forgot I had this laying around!! Shallan’s shipwrecked misadventures were really something… and they were more entertaining upon reread when I wasn’t mourning Jasnah lol
