    I hope one of the players realizes how potentially useful Prance could be. Seriously, a lowlife gambler who’s actually good at gambling? Either he could become a passive source of income or favors. Like a guard at some event owes Prance a lot of money, and maybe Prance will forgive that debt if the guard leaves a door unlocked and unguarded…
    I see so much potential in this character.

      Nah, it would be better if he becomes the group’s Judas and stabs them in the back or he was the one who murdered Vali. That way, the gang becomes obsessed with hunting him down and getting revenge, starting the Kill Prance saga or arc.

      Agreed. Baldric as a character was already annoyingly whiny, and Earndil as a player wasn't much better, and this is all made worse by him being the "main character" despite being completely uncompelling.
      This episode made me dislike him immensely and I'm not sure if I really want to keep listening to the series after this episode. It's certainly made me rethink my decision to join their Patreon.
