Poor Facilitator Nux – we hardly knew thee! I guess on account of you never having appeared in the series other than as a silhouette in the last panel of this week’s episode. But still! You’ll surely be missed! Presumably by someone who forms very fast attachments to silhouettes with little to no character development.

Transcripts

Lemrin: Look Burrstruck, if this is about another last-minute room change, then-
Burrstruck: Leerah Firestep.
Lemrin: What?
Burrstruck: Leerah Firestep. She’s one of your Third Year tutees.
Lemrin: I know who Leerah is. What about her?
Lemrin: Wait, did something bad happen to her?
Burrstruck: That remains to be seen.
Burrstruck: It has come to the University’s attention that Ms. Firestep has been offered a position by the Gilded Delve.
Lemrin: Really? Good for her!
Burrstruck: No, not good for her. Or us.
Burrstruck: Ms. Firestep is studying here under treaty from the Burning Realms.
Burrstruck: The terms in the contract of binding are very specific.
Burrstruck: She must undertake no paid labour while resident in this dimension.
Lemrin: So there’s no wiggle room at all?
Lemrin: The Delve could be a great opportunity for her.
Burrstruck: The contract of binding is a serious document.
Burrstruck: There are literal devils hidden in its details.
Burrstruck: We know this because the last time there was a treaty infraction, one of them ate Facilitator Nux.
