Now that they can finally understand like, anything that anybody important is saying, our heroes seek employment in the Bureau of Balance. Merle brags about how smart he is. Taako accidentally encounters some life-changing intel. Magnus does horrible, horrible things to an automaton.

Great problem solving by Magnus there by jumping off the skybridge. I really thought Taako was going to be crushed by the ogre for a minute there. His pickpocket attempt was a stupendously bad idea (the ogre probably should have got an attack of opportunity, no?), but I guess was good roleplaying, especially given that he was trying to represent "The Bravest" in the interview. The Bureau of Balance seems like a great campaign setting. I hope we can get a bit more backstory on the Forgotten War though.

A reenactment of Magnus ripping off the automaton's arms.

Congratulations to Taako in completely another step on his quest to invent the taco.

This was fun, the puzzle was fairly clever, I think Griffin could have made it a little more clear what the potions (particularly the aggro) potion did before beginning though, and what the ogres behaviour would be.
