Handing a group of players 12 fireball traps and giving infinite device/avoid trap to the true spies and scouts present is pretty great. There were many giggles had. Kudos to Declan and Vee for their many pratfalls as they stumbled their way through fireballs and popper traps.
After Signe dies on the obstacle course, the Gatekeeper gives her the usual re-buffs, plus 1 use of Avoid Trap.
Signe: Now I’m really temped to go try again. I won’t, but I’m really tempted.

Laurenzo: “Cull the weak!”

Shane: Odie, what color is your light?
Odie (light clearly purple): It’s blue, Shane. You know. From the runes.
Shane: That’s not blue
Odie: Sure it is. OK. Maybe it’s a little reddish. Because I’m a Mystic and Umbra is red. So red-blue.

Zelai: Odie, why is your light purple?
Shane: Oh, it’s not purple. It’s blue, because of the runes. and also red. Because she’s a mystic.
Zelai: Odie, what did you do?
Later still:
Odie: My light is purple, isn’t it?
Shane: Yeah
Odie: That’s why Zelai was so mad.
“Apparently I need to teach you to negotiate better. If you’re going to sell yourself to Void, at least demand a higher price.”

The conversation with Zelai, while we waited for the rest of the mod group to come back, about the ethics of him giving therapy to Shane. Not sure where that would have gone if the group hadn’t come back when they did, but it sure was interesting.
