OK so just to qualify this, I am at time counter 1:01:36 into Episode 8 no farther. I haven't watched ahead or read future comments on the chat of this video/episode.

I have however played the last 10 min over a number of times. I'm not sure if it's because I've spent the last 14 years studying and working in live theatre,but it's obvious to me that the argument between Keyleth and Kima, the fight withouth damage, has been staged between Matt and Marisha. Now I'm not saying that it was planed out in detail from the begining more like Matt knew she would servive from the pervious week and they very quickly discused the paramiters of the argument.

This is all supposition on my part but I think Marisha had about week to come up with some responces. If you watch she tries to start the same line of diolog 3 different times, not sure where it is supose to come in. She also almost never breakes character (While she does laugh at a few jokes that the other players make she quickly goes back to her "mad" face)  in my own very narrow opinion she had some kind of knowlege ahead of time that at least somthing like this would go down.

I"m not saying this is a bad thing. If it's done right I think it could be a great tool for propeling the story forward but in this case I think they fell a bit short. I really enjoyed it untill I realised that if you were reading the chat about 1/3 of the people had no idea what the motivation behind this argument was, including myself. A lot of the people in chat tried to rationalize it as sleep deprovation and being cranky, or to the fact that Keyleth really missed Grog but in actuality I felt as if there were this gap between what the characters were feeling and thinking and what I, the audiance member, was felling and thinking...

If you want more of my review of this chaprer of the story then you need to post and ask for it
