13:43 - Is this boss Pure-friendly?
14:17 - Is Scurrius members-only?
16:02 - Will there be CAs for Scurrius?

21:27 - What impact do these new combat achievements have on the thresholds for finishing each combat tier?

35:42 - Is it a coincidence that the Rat boss drops the exact runes for teleblock?
36:26 - Are there any plans to create more "typed" weapons or perhaps adjust current weapons to have "type" effectiveness?
37:20 - What’s your favourite kind of cheese? 🧀
39:20 - Player Creations
41:52 - Were there thoughts about anti-afking?
42:46 - What is Scurrius's relationship with the other heads?
43:53 - Any chance that the rat minions disappear after death like Sarachnis?
45:02 - Older NPCs have projectiles that hit when their animation starts and newer NPCs seem to have projectiles that hit when the projectile reaches the player. Is there ever any worry about teaching players the new way of projectiles work without any warning that something like Jad works differently?
