what if the Mighty Nein just. fake Essek’s death? if they pull it off properly they could get the Empire and the Dynasty off his back in one fell swoop. also it would be so fucking funny to watch them try because they would do it in some absolutely ridiculous way that undoubtedly humiliates him in the process.
imagine Astrid and Eadwulf being sent to kill him and them walking in on a tearful yet tasteful open casket funeral complete with pastel cupcakes, free roaming hamsters, and streamers with dicks hidden in their design and tell me you don’t want to laugh your ass off
[Image Description: a very loose sketch of the Mighty Nein holding a fake funeral for Essek. From left to right: Yasha stands awkardly, Jester waxes poetic with a tear in her eye, Veth has her head bowed with a frown, Essek lies in an open casket, Caduceus prays over him with his eyes closed, Fjord mimics Caduceus, Beau mimics Fjord, and Caleb facepalms. A bubble pointed out of the frame shows a very confused Astrid and Eadwulf. There are cupcakes, unicorn hamsters, and streamers throughout. /End ID]
