Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins--Mollymauk Tealeaf

Product Information

That night at the Traveling Carnival of Curiosities, he showed her the moon and shadow cards together and asked if she understood what they meant, possibly in reference to the Moonweaver.

He also has many small straight, overlapping scars on his neck, upper chest, and arms, presumably from drawing his own blood to activate his swords. A few years after 836 PD, the original pirate crew of the ship attacked the Nein Heroez in the Lucidian Ocean, but they were promptly dealt with by Captain Fjord and his crew. Molly claimed in introductions to have been in the carnival for as "long as [he] can reasonably remember". Interestingly, Lucien Tavelle (the original owner of Molly's body) had also little preference for his lovers (having a romance with his friend Brevyn Oakbender and having slept with several men); [119] after he started seeing himself as the Nonagon he also started defining himself as genderfluid.

Molly was very much this colorful source of unadulterated joy as well as being an openly bisexual and genderfluid character in the campaign. Thus, the blood hunter succeeded his dear friend as the carnival's fortune teller, and in keeping with her legacy, he created new cards for the deck. The next morning, Jester cast Greater Restoration on him, and he regained the ability to speak and think for himself. He spent a lot of time with Lestera, mostly drinking, and he trusted her judgement; thus, when he discovered that he had abilities connected to hemocraft during a fight, it was Lestera who encouraged him to tell Gustav, who quickly incorporated said abilities into the carnival shows. Depending on how strangers respond to a presence of tiefling, Molly "instantly knows everything they need to know about them".

Somewhere between Berleben and Felderwin, Molly robbed and then burned a wealthy house, escaping the fire with a bag of valuables. As he was dealt his final blow, Lucien grabbed his own chest and ripped it apart, possibly implying that the sliver of Mollymauk still within him was helping to destroy him. Gravely injured and facing off against Lorenzo with just Beau on his side, Molly attempted to use his Blood Maledict to hinder Lorenzo's attacks, but was already injured enough to fell unconscious by this effort.

Molly" is a slang term for the psycoactive drug MDMA, also known as ecstasy, known for inducing feelings of euphoria, increased self-confidence, increased empathy and closeness with others and oneself, relaxation and reduced anxiety, a sense of inner peace, mild hallucinogenic effects, altered sense of time, and enhanced sensation, perception, or sexuality. Molly thought that his death enabling Beau's survival was worth it, and Taliesin joked that Molly would forever have a "one-up" on her.

Lucien indicated to the Mighty Nein that Mollymauk means nothing to him, although he understood their grief. Taliesin made Molly to be a tiefling as a eace that is simultaneously "charming but not charming" and a race that provokes reactions from people. Two years before he met the Mighty Nein Molly joined The Fletching and Moondrop Traveling Carnival of Curiosities as a fortune-teller.My Name Is Molly - Meta - Guilt Is For Mortals, Archived version - I just want to talk a little bit about the fascinating use Taliesin puts the names of his characters to, and what they mean. He integrated and concealed an eye within a serpent tattoo that curled all along the length of his right hand and up his arm, then winded into a floral piece on his shoulder, and then into a peacock with tail feathers that ran up the side of his face. After the battle, Caleb used his Transmuter's Stone to cast Raise Dead on Lucien's body, seeking to bring back Mollymauk. Believing him to be dead, his allies buried his body not far from their hideout and went their separate ways. When the Mighty Nein met Jumnda and Ombo, two members of the recently decimated Guiatao Clan, Molly entertained the firbolg boy, giving him one of his moon trinkets as a present.
