Ironically enough, I've had campaigns where just doing what the priestess suggested would have been a better solution than what the party ended up deciding to do.
Thats funny, because I've seen some DMs where nobody cares wether or not lvl. 10, they still treat you as if you were lvl. one and don't know sh*t about you. (Mainly in campaigns where the characters travel a lot. I still find it weird. Rumors spread quickly.)
"So what do you have? "
"A sword!"
"A sword?"
"Yes. And I can hit with it twice as often twice every hour."
"... I'll stick to my spellslots thank you."
"... It sounded better in my head."
Never show this to my players please.
And thats why I think Firbolgs are underused.
Something tells me that this will be the favorite picture of many people… I am not among them of course.
Let me guess: She expects the ambush to be a trap?
Wait she’s an NPC?! Now I’m blown away (and so was Wayne…)
As long as the players got to watch and listen, as the two lovebirds did there thing, there would be no reason to complain. You don’t get to see a a high quality romantic comedy show every day.
What would Konsi do should they have a serious fight? Throw her out?
It is a melee attack. Jesse hits people with the crossbow in melee. Jesse does read the rules. Thank you.

The difference between RAW and RAI
(ttrpg.network)
Edit: A lot of people say, that GWM needs a melee weapon attack, but they miss Jesses point: While GWM requires a melee attack with a heavy weapon, Sharpshooters only criteria is an attack with a ranged weapon (not a ranged weapon attack). Jesse bases his claim on the fact, that a crossbow is still a ranged weapon, even if used as an improvised weapon for melee combat. That’s why it deals 1d4(!)+20 damage. (It works with any ranged, heavy weapon btw., so Longbow qualifies too.) Of course Jesse is playing the devils advocate here and of course, no somewhat sane Walter will allow this in any campaign ever, as it’s obviously not the intention behind these feats. But you could read it that way and that’s Jesses (paperthin) point. Besides: he finds the image of a barbarian running around recklessly smashing a crossbow over everyone’s head to just be hilarious.

Probably. An author once wrote this piece of conversation:
"Wait? You can transform matter. Thats magic." "Your people can use metal to fly over buildings." "Of course they can. It makes perfect sense."
Having a world, where "magic" actually exist raises a lot of questions about some conventional expressions and cultural aspects.
