I'm still bummed about Arregus dying! Is Alistair (forgive spelling if I got it wrong) going to come back? It was heartbreaking to have Halfling Luck take a dump on him, and I love his characters. Also I've spent the past year and change catching up with the entire breadth of the Bards' stories - y'all make me laugh so much! Thank you for being so entertaining.
just pointing out two mistakes here, i think he mentioned gust of wind which i'm guessing he is referencing the beginning but that should have actually been something akin to fog wall made to obscure vision in an area, it's a spell that a dragon like felgolos can use consistently, also the hands fighting were in fact not mage hands one was possibly an animate objects spell, although and unremarkable use of one, or maxamillians earthen grasp while the other was possibly bigbys hand because mage hand can't attack, also she very likely had the hand of vecna and possibly the eye as well.
Sofina IS a wizard! They are the Red Wizards of Thay, a common enemy faction and a type of wizard in Faerun/Sword of the Coast. 3.5e dungeon master guide page 195 if you want to check them!
Priest Cobes speaking at the Soleen ceremony was my favorite NPC so far in this season. I modeled him after a small role Ben Schwartz played in a movie a few years back. I practiced the speech a bunch and loved how awkward it was. I don't think the players were ready for Cobes's infectious energy. One of my favorite moments so far in season 5. Priest Cobes jumps into the ceremony scene exactly at the one hour and 59 minute mark.
