5.2 MSQ rant ***Spoilers***

[Harmonea]

The point of all the events you describe was to get us in the right place at the right time to see things happening.

We cleaned Y'shtola's room to watch her say goodbye to it and to see how sad Runar is about her leaving.

We went to stop the thieves to see our budding warriors of light beginning to feel the fire of adventure burning in them.

We cleaned barnacles off Bismarck so he could tell the story of how the Isle of Ken was named, reinforcing Elidibus' point about how men are incapable of keeping the history Emet-Selch was willing to entrust to us.

Yeah, it feels bad being given stupid chores, but they truly did all have a narrative goal for something they wanted us to see. It's fine if you don't think we need to watch Y'shtola say goodbye to Rak'tika and its people, but I disagree; it was a soft and humanizing moment for her, and I'm glad we got to see it even if my immediate reaction to being asked to go find a broom was "and we're putting off dealing with Ruby Weapon for this?"

Edit: if you are going to respond with sass about how I could've done Ruby Weapon first, as two others already have, you have completely missed the point of my post.
