Well! Movement on the Nott drinking front, and some seriously creepy dungeon crawling. Still in travel/random fight mode, but at least it kind of feels like we're getting somewhere?

Great episode. Love Nott going off the rails.

Bazzoxan seems to be Minas Tirith for the drow, which is a neat touch.

I've been referring to the Critical Role Wiki a bunch lately as the lore has been dropping. The Betrayer Gods category seems particularly relevant. Fair warning, if you have not finished Campaign 1, wandering around the wiki may spoil elements for you.

Yeah, the Betrayer Gods seem to be shaping up as big players for this campaign, in some way. Uk'otoa is a creation of the Cloaked Serpent, and the ongoing number of manacles they find makes me wonder about the Crawling King.

I'm always struck by how brief the exploration beats are in these dungeons. Like if there's more than 3 rooms forget about it.
