What Does The Mighty Nein Have Left: Entering the Astral Sea
/
Thanks to @42paintbrushes for this art piece!
Following the intuit charge Lucien set to give the Nein a taste of their own medicine, and their encounter with Lucien’s elemental ticker taker, the only member of the Mighty Nein at full strength is Caleb… because he’s a sheep.
As a note, the Mighty Nein leveled up! We’ve incorporated their new hit points into their totals under the assumption that they added those hit points to both their total and current hit point count. Often, new abilities and spells gained from a level up don’t take hold until the next long rest, but we don’t know if they’ll choose to abide by that or not.

Thanks to @SailorHannibal for this art piece!
Admittedly, it was really fun to get to track some of our old school stats, like Scanlan’s songs and the number of times Matt said ‘proper’ (probably because he only said it twice. We love you, Matt!).
Read MoreWhat We Know About Xhorhas

Thanks to @binwizard for this art piece!
The Mighty Nein are heading into the neighboring country of Xhorhas, a land shrouded in mystery and fear, in order to rescue Yeza. Ahead, we lay out everything we know so far about the Dwendalian Empire’s foe, and Yasha’s homeland. We’ve compiled a relevant quote compendium that you can also read through here.
Read MoreWhat We Know About Caleb and Nott: Update
/
Thanks to @paulinarosecos for this art piece!
Hello, lore drop!
Our post last week had to assume that Nott was telling the truth, and likewise, this week we have to assume she was telling the truth when she was talking to the Nein in Episode 49… which means that we have to clarify some past lies that she’s told. She did a fair amount of mixing in parts of the truth to her previous stories, but they didn’t necessarily happen quite the way she initially told them. In response to Nott’s story and the events revealed in Episode 48, Caleb let a few additional bombs drop, some of which were new to us and the Mighty Nein. (Subheadings link to timestamped transcriptions of interest.)

Thanks to @GalacticJonah for this art piece!
Well, that escalated quickly.
Episode 42 ended on a fiery, tension-filled cliffhanger, leaving us all wondering where The Mighty Nein goes from here. Let’s examine what we know about Darktow and its inhabitants, and how that impacts the Nein.
