I’m starting to wonder if they’re putting her in the limelight as setup for her being Trump’s VP pick.

I feel like this probably explains some things…
I wish I had your optimism.
IMO the only thing that would get that country to revolt, to the point of creating real change, is mass starvation.
I never watched Ghoulies, but I’ll never forget walking through the rental store and the box was eye-level with tiny kid me. Scarred me pretty bad. After that I was terrified of flushing the toilet, so toilet lid always had to be down and as soon as I flushed I would run from the bathroom.
Took me probably twenty years to completely get over it.
Play with swords.
I do historical reenactment in the SCA and the fencers use actual metal blades to fight. It’s HEMA but with fun clothes and a ton of other optional activities like brewing and making our own coins (those are my chosen activities, but a lot of people do costuming, calligraphy, music, apothecary… the list goes on).
It makes my inner child so happy 😊
You’re 100% correct, but don’t think that’s enough for Meta. It’s inherent to the nature of corporations to sell to grow, ie increase market share. If Meta thinks it can increase it’s market share, even a little, by destroying mastodon.social it will.
Cults are about power, specifically for the leader of the cult. It’s reasonable to assume that the mayor of the town and most of his cronies are cult members themselves, willfully working with the cult for mutual gain, or the cult has some kind of leverage over them.
Let the sorcerer get a mob, which while enroute to the cult to rescue their friends will be joined by the sheriff etc.
Meanwhile, the rest of the party will want to fight their way out or die trying, and it won’t be fun for them if you railroad their actions in another direction. So, let them! The cultists won’t kill them without orders (because maybe it’s okay to kill these people, but maybe not, and none of them want to take the initiative and risk upsetting the leader)
The party successfully breaks free just as the sorcerer shows up with the mob lead by the sheriff who’s on the cult’s side. He then “legally” arrests the party for attacking the towns citizens. The civilian members of the mob are easily quelled and dispersed by the sheriff’s men, leaving the party to fight a proper mini-boss battle (the sheriff and his men) OR let themselves be arrested (maybe by the suggestion of the NPC friend?) as a means of getting closer to the truth and whoever is REALLY in charge.
If they fight and win, they’ll have a blast and earn their escape.
If they let themselves get arrested, you can advance the plot or have a sympathetic townsperson help them escape stealth fully.
Either way they should have a fun 🙂
