I LOVE THIS DISASTER SQUAD - Tumblr Posts
I can’t get over how these blockheads with a joke name like the Mighty Nein can roll into the harshest areas filled to the brim with dangerous scum and cruelly evil bastards, introduce themselves with obviously fake names, then openly call each other by their real names in earshot of everyone, shit in alleys, get wasted, disregard half the things they were told, and stumble into unwinnable situations then pull out walls of fire, summoned demons, stunning truth fists, teleportation, and illusory magic with the final tally ending up overwhelmingly in their favor as they leave town with their enemies feeding the worms. These guys are fucking terrifying. Like, how many top-tier assholes have grossly underestimated what must seem like a crew of clowns to them just to be buried by how powerful they really are? Avantika was flush on her successes and thought they were jokes, and they made her sit in silence as she lost everything. Lorenzo considered them worthless and unworthy of his attention, then had his criminal enterprise torn down on his head. And then I can’t stop thinking about a little bird girl in Hupperdook who’s still alive and has a family again because of them, or the town of Allfield who calls them their heroes, or a blind priest who spreads tales of these folks who constantly delve into the dark to rescue people who need it, and I can’t stop getting misty-eyed. They’re doing it in the craziest and most chaotic way they know how, but the world’s jumped a few notches closer to better because of them.
