Sorry for spoiling the series, but Marcille is very good.

As for the mandrake conundrum, as we learn you want to let it scream for a better harvest, maybe it only screams when something is around to hear it? So if you just use a long rope, whichever party member draws the short straw has to get it to scream while covering their ears and inching closer.

Though it's not fantasy worldbuilding we're examining, it's genuine history!

So apparently the author of the manga sketched out each of the companions for the original two baldur's gate games, and they are just the best thing I have ever seen.

Here is an article that links to them. I may have to accelerate my annual bg2 replay just on principle.

She literally took the smile from Imoen in bg2. Incredible.

They point out that there was an elf working on a translation patch, but it was for a console long since discontinued. Company made it bought out thrice over. All documentation for code in that version in fragments and those fragments are in Goblin (for some reason).

Also I thought that the animation/artstyle was a little different in this episode in a way that is distinctly trigger
