Summary
It was insane. A waste of a spell that could lead to getting killed by a stranger, although he had no idea why someone from Tal’Dorei would have it out for him.
On the other hand, wasn’t this why he began traveling to begin with? To be far away from all the forces trying to kill him or draw him back into politics, to gain some perspective by looking outside himself and his narrow-minded goals? Essek pressed a thumb against his mouth as he contemplated this, scanning the paper to a scrap of fabric pinned to the bottom of the map. It was striped purple and gold, a colorful addition to the parchment, and it took Essek a moment to understand why it was there. He could use it to teleport.
---
Essek gets a mysterious message from a stranger asking if he wants to join him for brunch.

Summary
" “We have been holding him for six days, Lady.”
“You said he came here looking to murder me? Interesting…” said the voice that Percy had only heard in his nightmares for the past three years.
“Yes, Lady. He had a strange weapon of fire and metal that killed two of our men before it turned on its master and burst into flames,” a second guard replied.
“Where is this ‘demonic’ weapon now?”
“We put it in your workshop, Lady”
“Good.” "What if Dr. Ripley found Percy in that cell before Vox Machina?

Summary
There was a problem with Astarion.
Well, in all likelihood, there were quite a few problems with Astarion.
He was abrasive and flippant and self-serving, and Gale was in no doubt that his quick fingers were skimming at least a little out of whatever chests Tav had him picking.
Oh, and there was the fact that he was a vampire. Yes, there was that little detail.
Or, Astarion getting outed by the shadow-cursed lands.

Summary
Astarion read people the way Gale read books: cover to cover– leaving no page unturned. He prided himself on the ability to figure someone out at a glance, a skill honed to mastery under 200 years of tutelage and torture. He knew how people ticked– how they moved, how they spoke –and what made a mark ripe for the taking. Yet for whatever reason, the wizard eluded him.
Gale had been a series of puzzles he couldn’t seem to solve from the start and he hated him for it.
The first was a blight hidden behind a mouthwatering scent.
The second, a hunger that sought to rival even his own.
But it was the last one that most intrigued him. The perplexing choice of ornamentation on an otherwise clean slate.

Summary
“You look exhausted” he mumbles, not even trying to quip a joke, so it must be true. Eyes trained to where you are connected, the pads of his fingers grazing down your palms slowly and deliberately, a cooling blue magic, like creek water pooling in them, healing your cuts. “Can I help?” he asks, nonchalantly, as if it was nothing.

Summary
Caleb Widogast is famous. He's one of the most prolific and most spine-tingling horror authors currently on the scene, putting out nightmares like clockwork ever since he started his career, coming simply out of nowhere.
Until he went quiet. And now he's apparently writing a children's book of all things?
Gods only know how this will turn out.

Summary
Beau crosses her arms and leans against the doorway. “So? What’s the charge?”
Caleb looks at her blankly. She relaxes at the knowledge that this face is the kind of blank meaning he is not amused, not the kind that shows he was traumatized by this experience. “Sedition.”
“C’mon man. It’s the first day of classes. Do you already have a snitch?”
Astrid rubs the bridge of her nose, leaning forward on the back of the chair. “You aren’t even going to pretend he might be innocent?”
“She knows me,” Caleb says. He and the archmage have a silent conversation with their eyes, and Astrid loses.
“I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear that,” Archmage Beck rises in one swift motion, pulling on her robe. “Well, I was going to let him stew for a few more hours. But if you’re planning on taking him home I believe I have better things to do.”
or, beau finds an ally (and maybe something more) in the new interim archmage of civil influence

Summary
“Well then, I shall ask you a question,” said Essek, “Do you believe I should participate in conversation more than I do?”
Caleb raised his head in alarm. Did his friend think he was being criticised? Did Essek interpret Caleb’s judgement of his own silence as reflected upon him? Caleb raised his hands plaintively, “No, not at all. In fact, I think I’d be a little taken aback if you did. Please understand, it is not silence itself that I dislike and I certainly do not condemn yours, only my...lack of ability.”
“Why should you hold yourself to a standard you do not hold others to?"
:
:::5 times Essek saw Caleb's unmasked self (and loved him all the same) and 1 time Caleb saw Essek's (and loved him the way he deserved).
