Thinking about the shadowgast crumbs we got in the Lucien boom. And how Essek was holding Caleb’s body. So he was literally guarding Caleb until Jester killed Lucien and her and Cad came over to revivify him.
What’s very “fun” to think about it based on the in game combat and combining the new info we got, this is how that scene went down:
First Essek gets pulled away from his original position by Caleb due to Elatus. Then Caleb gets impaled like 3 times in front of him and tossed aside. He then would have to have run back or floated back to get to Caleb as the book says since he was pulled away by like 15ft(?)And then be holding onto Caleb’s body so the city didn’t consume him until Jester deals the killing blow and was waiting for the healers to come and help.
So….if Yasha had to literally rip the city away from Veth cuz Veth was prone on the ground and it was gonna swallow her, we could feasibly say either Essek did the same and just kept ripping away the city until it died.
Or! Essek was holding Caleb in his arms bridal style to keep him off of the ground.

Aimee and Liam roleplaying on Twitter is literally my favourite thing.

This drawing has been lying around, almost finished, for ages because I tried to do something fancy with it that I just wasn't able to do with coloured pencils. I kinda anticipated that what I wanted to do wouldn't look good, so I saved it on my computer before I tried. I did mess it up in the end, so I'm happy I took precautions lol.
Anyway

I love how so many trans men (especially gay trans men) in the Critical role fandom have collectively decided that Orym is our blorbo. We all just took one look at him and were like, "Ah yes, this is the ideal of masculinity we aspire to." One that involves flowers and gentleness and fierce protection of those he cares about.
