Friends at the Table

HELLO! Let's see how rapid fire I can communicate this info after spending 20 minutes babbling about it:
PERPETUA: This week's episode is delayed, but will be released this upcoming Monday or Tuesday with next week's episode to follow on Thursday! Double Perpetua for patient podcast listeners!! 
BLUFF CITY SEASON 2: Because of generous donations to our fundraiser, BLUFF CITY SEASON 2 is now free on our patreon! You can simply scroll through and listen to all of the episodes here or through patreon's app. Bluff City S2 episodes will be streamed over our twitch with the VODs uploaded to our youtube in the near future. In the much more distant future, it will hit our main feed but not for awhile!
SANGFIELLE: Unlocked by our fundraisier, we'll be returning to Sangfielle for a one shot!! Details to come but we're very excited for this one!!
New LPs for Twitch/YouTube: Coming SOON, Jack will be playing Dwarf Fortress, Dre will be playing Kentucky Route 0, Ali and Keith will tackle Pokemon Conquest and finally Sylvi, Jack and Ali will return for an LP of Galaxy Princess Zorana!
New MCP stuff: Over on our patreon we'll be sharing a commentary watch along for MOUSE HUNT and eventually do a one shot of a Lasers and Feelings HxH hack!!! 
None of this would be possible without people showing up and donating for immigrants in Minnesota and we thank everyone who participated however they could from the bottom of our hearts. Let's keep making cool things and helping however we can! 
...speaking of the future, for the rest of feburary and march, all profits from friendsatthetable.shop will be donated to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota!! While the ILCM isn't responding to direct needs in the same way the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund is, the law center provides free legal representation for immigrants and their families, a need that will continue beyong ICE's presence there.

The year is 397 BE—Before the End. And in the wide and colorful abyss known as the Dragon Path, fate spins two disparate threads together…

20:37 : It's not a big deal Nei, just wish I had thought to message you about it on the forums! 
20:37 : It IS a big deal. I feel like I really F***d everything up with everyone relying on me and the faq. Plus, the same thing happened to me when I tried to do the Imago walkthrough at launch without knowing there was a Chiaroscuro ending. A lot of people who were playing along with the guide got to the end and felt like they'd missed out on the true ending because they were following my advice.
20:38 : Well they should've played without a guide then.
20:38 : No one says they had to use a guide, though.
 
20:38 : Jinx!
20:38 : sry, i dont really get it, u think ppl on some form are gonna be mad because u didnt know about the castle?
20:38 : The forum can get pretty intense, Hoagie. I feel like people are always trying to argue over there.
20:39 : Not you though, right? n.n;;;;;
20:39 : No! I just don't like it when people get things wrong.
20:39 : Yeah, and guess who just got a BIG thing wrong. Idk guys, I think I gotta take a break until the holidays are over. I'll make a post on the forums I guess. Sorry.

On Sunday 15th and Monday 16th of February 2026, we're going to be hosting ICEBREAKER, a two day fundraising marathon on twitch.tv/friendsatthetable to raise money for the Women's Foundation of Minnesota's Immigrant Rapid Response Fund!
As Minnesota faces the brunt of a violent anti-immigrant crackdown, and ICE's cruelty continues to spread nationwide, we are inspired by the solidarity, community, and mutual aid demonstrated by those on the front lines of immigration justice. The WFM's Immigrant Rapid Response Fund distributes funding to organizations working to provide food, housing, rent relief, transportation and healthcare as well as legal support for immigrants, detainees, and their families. The fight for immigration justice is immensely important to us all. Please join us to help raise some money!
In addition to streaming, new limited edition t-shirts will be available on the Friends at the Table store on Sunday 15th, featuring the incredible ICEBREAKER art by Conner Fawcett. For the months of February and March, all proceeds from any purchases made at friendsatthetable.shop will go to the Immigration Law Center of Minnesota, which provides free legal representation to immigrants and their families. After March, this t-shirt will no longer be available!
Please stay tuned to our social media and here on Patreon for upcoming information about the schedule, as well as our fundraising goals. We'll be kicking off around 11am ET and going all day with a carefully selected blend of games, running the gamut from emergent multiplayer disasters to 90s educational software to — let me just check my notes here — it looks like someone's written down "Flegg Hell"? We'll see you on Sunday!

Above Spillaway Peaks, the crew of the Little Snail has found signs of a horrible corruption, tainting not only the town's oxen and their food, but perhaps of something even more fundamental. With only one clue to go one—the presumed whereabouts of a mysterious food seller—they travel further up the mountains in search of answers. What they find will draw them deeper into adventure than they ever could've imagined.

You KILLED the little paladin egg guy?
Doom_Tree_Anne
Well the thing is, the only character I had left standing was Nicky, and he'd already declared a bond of hatred against the Sentishell, and it seemed like the only winning outcome I really had left. So I didn't have a choice n.n;;;;
Alukard83
That's crazy! I would just load my save if that happened to me.
TheUnforgivenIII
Brutal… But that's the way the world is. Sometimes its life or death. Him or you. You know? And when that happens you gotta fight with your whole heart. If you hold back at all your gonna die. Killing is what it takes to be a hero.
TheDiamondRanger
No way. A real hero never kills anyone, like Batman or Spider-Man.
TheUnforgivenIII
The real world isn't like those cartoons. It's blood in blood out, little man. Plus, Batman doesn't even have a sword. If he did, he'd probably kill a LOT of people.
FriendofNei
Hey, someone just sent in a tip and said that something special happens if you finish the Sentishell fight with a complete Eastern Continent Act 1 save already? Anyone do this? Did you have to do anything special?
XxZelgadyskXx
OMG you didn't get that????? Come onto IRC, I'll message you!

This episode includes discussion of animal injury and illness, including descriptions of wounds and death.
A mystery (and the need for a little spending money) has sent the crew of the Little Snail up into the hills of Spillaway Peaks. In between attending to their escortee, the locally famous photographer Waylon, Veile, Nicky, Jonathan, and Elena encounter the edges of a strange curse. What has happened to the Oxen of the Peaks? Can it be reversed? And what might it mean for the Perpetuan Cycle…
This week on Perpetua: A PIcture of the Hills 04
Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.058]
NPCs & Monsters [PNMS]
Waylon, Local Photographer [NMWY]
Traits: Stubborn, Experienced, Prickly, Soft-Hearted
Stats: ??? 
Attacks: ???
Special Abilities: ??? 
In-Game Description: Spillaway Peaks local photographer has been serving the community for hundreds of years. His hard shell covers a soft interior.
To be honest, I haven't actually seen Waylon's "soft-heart" yet, but maybe that'll come in time. 
Starter Tip: If you fail to convince him to make a detour while you grind or do other side quests, do NOT let him wander away! He will immediately start taking damage once you're on a different screen.
Brown Flegg [NMBF]
Typical Traits: Mischievous, Stubborn, Direct, Family Oriented 
Stats: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 8, WLP 8
Attacks: Flegg Strike, Infuriate, Flegg Gale
Special Abilities: Stoneshell
In-Game Description: A living egg. It comes up to your shins. Hey, why are these ones brown!?
A leveled up version of the classic Flegg. They're level 10, so expect a higher HP pool. Their Flegg Gale also gives them a little extra "oomph." Be careful if you have a status that weakens you to Air damage!
Starter Tip: Their resistances and vulnerabilities are different than the base Flegg. These ones are strong against both earth and fire damage, but are weak to poison!
Sentishell [NMSS]
Traits: Justice-Seeking, Protective, Noble
Stats: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 8, WLP 8 
Attacks: Hilt Bash, Holy Slash
Special Abilities: Holy Aegis, Stoneshell, Threaten
In-Game Description: Extra-large, light-green Flegg with brown splotches. Wears shining platemail armor and helm, visor raises so that you can see his brave expression. Wields a long sword and Kite shield commensurate to his size.
A Paladin-type Flegg!? Yup, your eyes aren't deceiving you. This little guy has pretty standard stats, but lots of defensive moves to help keep him and his crew safe from incoming damage. I wonder if we could recruit him to OUR side. 
Starter Tip: Both his Holy Aegis and Threaten skills can be canceled by hitting him with either Dark or Lightning damage! So prioritize those!
