TALIESIN: Most people who come here know what this
place is, this is going to be delightful. I’ve
never had to explain it to someone before.
SAM: It’s a graveyard. It’s a boneyard.
TALIESIN: Well, boneyard is a bit crass, but yeah,
this is a place where we take the dearly departed
who have done well and the people who have lived
good lives and we put them into earth that has
been touched by the Wildmother. In turn, she
grants them with beauty and splendor and sometimes tea.
SAM: Like a boneyard sort of a place?
TALIESIN: More like a garden. We have been tending
this garden for generations.
MARISHA: We’re drinking dead people tea?
TALIESIN: Aren’t we all?
LIAM: That is a very fair point.
MARISHA: Very true. But you’re cultivating dead
people for good tea?
TALIESIN: Aren’t we all?
MARISHA: Yeah, okay. Yeah. That’s a good point.
LIAM: We are very random visitors from out of the
blue. We do come to you with tragedy. We do have a
friend in the ground. We do have friends who are
in dire need of assistance. You help people into
the ground, but offhand, do you help them out of
the ground?
TALIESIN: Well, I mean, sometimes we can help
people who are on the edge of death. We certainly
understand that most people would rather spend
their time alive than not, and that makes sense. I
certainly have no interest in shortening my life
any time soon.
SAM: But you can’t bring someone back who’s
already expired?
TALIESIN: I mean, that’s very tricky. Once you’re
dead, there’s a natural order to things. There’s a
movement that things have to go, but in certain
cases, I’m sure.
LIAM: We’ve all read stories of the extraordinary,
but you do not have this in your wheelhouse, you
are saying?
TALIESIN: Oh, I can sometimes help people. You
never know.
MARISHA: Okay, well, beyond helping our recently
passed friend, how do you feel about helping
people who are on the edge of life and death in
captivity?
LIAM: Three in the cage is worth one in the dirt.
SUMALEE: There are firbolgs in this group, too,
that need help.
SAM: They’ve been kidnapped, including a firbolg
child.
MARISHA: And they might not have long to live.
ASHLY: They’re being held by the Iron Shepherds.
SAM: Who are bad guys. We’re good guys. Well,
we’re sort of bad guys, too.
MARISHA: We’re working on it.
LIAM: We are not bad guys.
ASHLY: We’re doing all right.
SAM: Are you a bad guy?
TALIESIN: You know, honestly, I don’t think I’ve
