"Talks Machina #130: 'The Beat of the Permaheart'" (TMx130) is the one-hundred thirtieth episode of Talks Machina. Taliesin Jaffe and Sam Riegel discuss "The Beat of the Permaheart" (2x82) with host Brian Wayne Foster.

Synopsis[]

  • @MegWritesThings: Taliesin: Clay has been pretty desensitized to natural and even violent death, but how does he feel about all the unnatural life (clones, soul jars, and lichdom) that's come up in the HFB so far?
  • Tessa Widenhofer: Sam: Unless I've forgotten something, Nott just experienced her first time being Polymorphed. What did she think of the experience, especially as it relates to her overall goal?
  • @Wizardsimulator: Taliesin: Can you tell us more about why Caduceus encouraged Caleb to enter the dreadnaught's mouth? Was it genuine, or was there an element of reverse psychology at play?
  • @Fantasyqueereye: Sam: Was it surprising for Nott (and you) to be the voice of reason during the Behemoth scene?
  • PhilosophyPlatypus: Both: How concerned are you over the rapid passage of time in the outside world?
  • Rachel Kleine: Both: what do you think Obann's "finish line" might entail? Are either of you worried about not getting back in time to stop him?
  • Cosplay of the Week: by Kyle Clemens aka @Baneb1ade on Instagram and Twitter (photo by @afflictionphotos)
  • Chris Gatlin: Taliesin: Caduceus has spent time with Caleb, and has impressive judge of character. Has he noticed Caleb's hunger for magical power? If so, does he trust Caleb in this place?
  • @JWStraley: Sam: If the party had not been hanging on to her would Nott have stayed behind as everyone else entered the Dreadnought?
  • The4LetterNerd: Taliesin, I laughed at your response when Sam floated the idea of using the exploding bolt on the Heart to finish it off. How does Caduceus feel about Nott continuing to tinker with mechanical contraptions? Does he think industry or places like Hupperdook are a threat to the Wild Mother's domain?
  • @Mach6Logan: Sam: Nott is inarguably the best single-target damage dealer on the team, as was displayed again this past week. Is she aware of how much killing power she wields? If so, how much of Veth is okay with this severe violence and how much of it is goblin instinct?
  • Fan Art of the Week: by Riquezadilla Doodles aka @Riquezadilla
  • @Frankelstein_: Taliesin: Up until now, Caduceus has been the one using commune to try to get answers and help the party. How did Caduceus feel when he saw Jester attempt a commune spell, but also seemingly successfully?
  • Steven Cardenas: Sam: How does Nott feel, being so close to her family, yet planes away? Does she regret not visiting them or having Jester send a message before going in?
  • @Walkalittleline: Taliesin: Caduceus never seems upset by Jester's continual putting down of the Wildmother. Is this because he just isn't bothered or because he doesn't see the Traveller as comparable to Melora?
  • Anon---2020: Sam: Nott succeeded at something Caleb struggled with--- understanding the runes. Does this affect her perception of her value as something besides a "shield" or her perception of Caleb as the smartest and most powerful member of the Nein?
  • James Whitney: For Tal: in that first encounter with the failed Halas clone, how worried were you that you were about to lose another character when it hit you six times in a row?
  • M_busuttil: Both: What were you expecting in the Dreadnought room? How did it compare to what you actually found?
