Laius may be just a 'stupid fighter' but it's a whole different kind of stupid and it's wonderful.

Laius is well versed in Monster lore. Sadly everythign else is kinda lacking.

You know one thing I noticed on a reread is that Laius wants to punish the mad sorcerer and him apologize for his actions. Most people would be like murder the sorcerer and its a good look at what kind of person Laius is.

Honestly, those mushrooms are amazing and you could probably build a whole new branch of entertainment industry out of them, so boo on the party for not letting Laius keep them.

Wait wait. Hold on. I just thought of something.

Did they just find a resolution to the whole My-Sister-Is-A-Half-Dragon-Griffin-Monstrosity problem? Like, what if they get Farlyn to step in one of those circles? Would she possibly morph into something less dangerous, that they could restore her from?

I feel like she is under mind control or something and that switching her body to something else wouldn't change that.

In theory, if you were to seed a sword scabbard with the spores, you could have a form changing sword every time you sheath it and pull it out. The only problem is if/when your blade shapeshifts into something that won't fit back inside the sheath. The alternative I guess would be having a piece of rope that has the spores on it and is tied in a loose loop so you can adjust the diameter as needed.

I assume the spores would fall off over time, washing is just the quick way. Still seems like a fun toy for rich people. Maybe it can't live outside the dungeon or something.

Yeah, he's such a swell guy. It's really interesting that we see Laius and his friends are all good people, but the chapter with the other party talking about them shows that they all have super sketchy reputations above ground.

Laius’ sketchy reputation is at least in part literally because he was too nice to sketchy people...

I interpreted that as just making them vulnerable to predation, due to isolation and presumably some measure of disorientation as well. There's real organisms with similar reproductive strategies, see toxoplasmosis

Yep, that's true. We as the reader know that Laius is a good boy, but the other parties above ground don't know that and go by his reputation instead. There's also Marcille, who we know is a good person and researching magic that's forbidden by other elves because she feels cost-free magic could help the world. And when the other parties finds out she used that on Farlyn, they immediately assumed she's evil and wants her court-marshaled by the other elves. It's just really interesting how much Laius and friends thrive in the dungeon when they'd be treated as outcasts above ground.

Yeah, the spores themselves aren't toxic, or else that would have been brought up.

not a very good survival strat is it? the spores have to wait years for the animal to die and if it rains once during those times they get washed off

It's possible that the changelings turned one kind of growing, small-space-inhabiting monster into another.

If this is what does it, its gonna be a one piece arc ending, a feast with all the friends we made along the way

I’m curious with the glimpse of Chilhack’s family table on the first page. It looks very extended with some older folk included. How old was Chilhack compared to Laius?

Chilchack says he's about to turn 29 in chapter 13. I forget if Laius has ever given his age, but he's younger than Chilchack for sure since he reacts to that fact by showing deference.
