So I’m closing in on finishing this my first Audiobook. I didn’t think I’d ever get here. I also didn’t think I’d ever be running. But here we are. Living our best lives running amuck through Prythian. Cauldron be damned! Remembering where we left off? Hmm Lets see. I’m pretty sure Lucien showed up at some point just when I though we wouldn’t see our dude and shed some light on poor ol’Fey and fixed her nose up after she got tossed from the casino floor and rolled in the parking lot by a bunch of slimy Fae. Guess giving up her name to save him was “worth” it? She sure does love suffering? I mean who doesn’t. I’m currently listening to a playlist called “Playlist of Doom and Despair” I’d say go look for it but you know how many playlists share the same name? Let me spoil it for you… It’s not just a handful, we are nothing but unoriginal us humans…
Anyway, Fey sleeps off the pain of Dr Lucien MD’s Under Mountain Rhinoplasty and sometime later gets dragged back to Mandy to get her first “Challenge” I think before the challenge she does some pining for Tam who is just sitting there all pale and whatnot on the dais beside ol’bitchface Mcgee. While she twirls the finger boner on her neck. I think we also kinda find out tht poor old Eyeball and finger are literally the soul of Durian (spelling?) being kept alive and tortured forever. Fucking siiiiick. Clearly Mandy is mad and can hold a grudge. Maybe her and I have more in common than I thought. Respect (*fist to chest, bump twice) Next thing we know Fey is tossed into a mud/shit pit. and whats this. Whats in the PIT? WHATS IN THE FUCKING BOX? Is it a monster? A dragon? A bunch of well armored midgets? Small hungry children from the village? The zombie body of that poor girl Rhys killed? Nope? Its a giant fucking worm with rows and rows of teeth…
Let me pause for a second. *Takes a deep breath
So Fey is stuck in this ShitPit™ with giant worm who can only smell her cause it has no eyes and she eventually figures this out. ugh this is a classic trope. the “huntress” being forced to be a hunter? Give me a break. Anyways. This section wrote itself. I was literally telling this girl what to do minutes before she figured it out. This was painful to listen to. But she eventually figured it out. Once she got away set up the trap with broken bones and then used the bones to get out of the pit. This is half Rancor fight and half every David Vs Goliath we’ve ever seen. I’m surprised she didnt try to ride the fucking worm back to Mandy after taming it and becoming the lisan al gaib of Prythian. Shoutout Dune, You boring ass movie! With the worm defeated. Apparently everybody was betting on Fey to lose except you guessed it Gucci Boots (Rhys) and Mandy gives Fey the riddle to answer. My memory here is a bit blurry she might have given it to her before this trial? But who’s to say. This riddle reads as something overtly complex but my gut says this is something so simply dumb that its probably something stupid like “L❤️VE” and that after the last trial she’ll realize thats been the answer all along. lolz. Anyway. With the trial over so was my run so that was it for today. What an ordeal. At least my boy Lucien came back but I have a feeling we might not see much of him as we are seeing more of Rhys.
