Having recovered from the final...

I came up with one cheery thought about the characters epilogues yesterday, and a couple more since.
This was also influenced by my recently watching episode 31, where I knew even as she asked for it that Jester wasn’t going to get her axe of dance-inducing, which made me sad immediately. But post-campaign? She could probably get the gold together to get the enchantment done.
So let us imagine Jester, in the midst of battle at sea, whacking foes with that axe and making them dance if they fail the saving throw. Indeed, it becomes one of the tales sailors tell, of the tiefling of the Nein Heroez, who has made bloodthirsty pirates lose their heads and start doing the hornpipe with her magic axe.
Kingsley absolutely loves this, by the way. When he goes off on his own, he swears that as soon as he can find both an axe and someone to enchant it, he’ll get one of his own. Veth loves it even more. On those occasions she’s on board (because all of the Nein find an excuse to sail with their old friends at some time or other), she’s been known to “borrow” it, sneak up on the ship’s crew, and lightly knick them with the axe just to make them dance. They dread the prospect of Luc getting strong enough to wield it.
Also, if Caleb must break up with Essek at some point...well, noone then said he didn't then fall into a polyamourous arrangement with Jester and Fjord, did they? As someone who shipped him with Essek and Jester both by the end, I am totally choosing to believe that happened.
And yeah, she and Artagan went to the Feywild after Fjord's death, and they ended up taking Caleb too. And she insisted on going to look for Frumpkin, and maybe he did come, if only to help console her in her mourning.
