Honestly my favorite thing about Sinbad is that in the end, Eris didn’t die. She wasn’t killed by the hero or banished or even really stopped in any way outside of the immediate story. She just half-heartedly admits defeat and then disappears to fuck someone else’s shit up. She’s just like, ‘Oh, I was outsmarted. Alright. Off to ravage another country, pet my constellations, shave my legs in my universe bath and kill some other nerds I guess.’ They didn’t even really succeed in thwarting her plan; I mean, yeah, the last part of it maybe, but how much discord and turmoil did she manage to cause before that? Wasn’t that her goal all along? Plus she was just doing it basically out of boredom. Anyway Eris is still alive and out there and that’s gr8
Brian: Man, how did you feel when Travis said “Molly”?
Taliesin: Honestly, there’s very few things in the world that delight me more than seeing, like, a little bit of shame roll down his face-
Liam: Other people’s discomfort?
Taliesin: Yeah absolutely, Travis’ discomfort specifically, it really, it has a flavor.
Liam: Yeah.
Brian: When he says something and then immediately realizes he shouldn’t, it is [snaps his fingers], it is a jump. Like,
Taliesin: So I specifically made an offended face at him, like and not a comical one, like- I very specifically made a
Brian, laughing:Yes.
Taliesin: ‘Cause he has it coming, so…
Brian: Yeah he does.
Liam: Oh, I am embarrassed to admit the level of Schadenfreude that I feel
Liam, continued: with Travis playing a really cool, really layered, really interesting character this campaign when he made such a big deal about like [imitating Grog] “well y’know it’s just fun and I’m a dummy and you can do anything” [regular voice] and like, he was always like, “Don’t sweat it, what’s the big deal, this is fun,” and now he’s got this really interesting character
Taliesin: Like, “fuck you dude!”
Liam: Yeah!- “Fuck you! Fuck you and your emotional investment now! Ha!Ha!”
I see your “sam and Taliesin are trickster deities” and I raise you: everyone in the CR cast is some sort of ancestral being, but they are all from different points in the timeline and different cultures and only now did they converge here.
Taliesin? Immortal Archfey who got tired of trying to fit every new version of society he’s met, so he decided to just be himself and enjoy the shenanigans it causes.
Sam? Trickster Spirit that thrives in chaos and just wants to have a giggle with humans for a few decades.
Matt? The 9th reincarnation of a Norse Storyteller, back from the dawn of time when they understood the power of words. His magic is subtle in the way he threads stories together but has an ethereal aura that pulls in whoever listens to him. He remembers his past lives vaguely and sometimes recognizes them when they take over his body to give a tale an unsuspected twist. His many lives also make him well acquaintanced with the subject of death which he usually waves into his stories.
Marisha? A Greek Demi-God warrior that has been granted eternal life by the gods and used it to keep learning new fighting styles. She’s faced minotaurs and gorgons and, yes, more than one troll. Probably the daughter of Atenea.
Laura? A Nymph, nature spirit that has taken human form. Impossible not to love her. Animals are her passion. She has a pure heart but also a terrifying amount of power to destroy anyone who crosses her or those she loves.
Travis? The reincarnation of a Roman Centurion. Favors logic and reason over brawn but is also 200% ready for a fight. His patron, Juno, granted him immortality not due to his bravery but after an act of kindness and selflessness. He remembers his past life and likes being coy about it.
Ashley? Viking warrior. Probably a Valkyrie. She came to Earth to be an actress as an act of reverence to Loki, who has always favored her because of her slightly chaotic trickster side.
Liam? Another nature spirit, much like his soul twin. The calm and quiet side of the woods, the soothing hum of the ocean, sometimes thunder and lighting. He loves humanity with all of his heart but is more often than not exasperated by their ignorance or hateful tendencies.
Brian? An Immortal but like only ever since the 20s or so. Still trying to figure out the whole thing. Tal is helping him. Probably a ridiculously powerful magic user in disguise.
Also, none of them know for sure that the others have a divine side to them. As far as they are concerned, they’ve just picked their favorite humans to goof around with for a while, but they all have that kind of unearthly energy that’s made them drift together. If they all combined their powers they’d be unstoppable, but so far they are just happy chilling and playing D&D together.

*plays assassins creed to study for my ap history exam*
This is actually really funny. In high school my humanities teacher told us a story about one of the Europe trips he had gone on with the school a few summers past. So him and the group of kids were in the middle of Rome and the tour guide had gotten lost. They could figure out how to get to some church they were going to see. All of a sudden one of the students like call attention to himself. He says he knows where to go and just start walking around the streets, taking back roads and side streets and within 20 mins they’re at the church they needed to get to. My teacher asks the kid if he has every been to Italy before. He says no, he just knew where to go because he played Assassins Creed Brotherhood.
