“I understand why people do this now.”

Shawn laughs.

The half-orc takes a swing back and misses.

Alexis points across the table. “Ha!”

By the second round, she’s raging.

Literally.

Ronan explains the mechanic once.

Her eyes widen. “So I get angry and become harder to kill?”

“Yes.”

“This game understands women.”

Cami almost falls out of her chair.

Griffin loses it.

I can hear exactly how Dex would laugh at that—too loud, probably followed by something inappropriate enough to make Ronan threaten him.

The thought still hurts.

Just not enough to ruin the moment.

I take my turn.

One of the goblins is moving toward Shawn, so I shift my character between them and cut it off.

Cami catches my eye and gives me a small smile.

The goose becomes a problem because Alexis spends an entire turn trying to free it.

“You are currently in combat,” Ronan reminds her.

“I know.”

“The half-orc is still alive.”

“I have priorities.”

Shawn studies the map. “Honestly, if the goose is here, there’s probably a reason.”

Ronan gives him a very specific look.

Shawn sees it.

“Oh.”

“What?” Griffin asks.

“Nothing.”

“That was absolutely something.”
