Summary
A study chapter by chapter of The Magnus Archives podcast.
I made this as a way to keep track of things when listening to the podcast and am now publishing it because it has come to my attention that people might actually like this.
I will try not to give away too much in each chapter so that reading this alongside listening to the corresponding podcast episode doesn't spoil too much the rest of the podcast, but obviously there are certain things mentioned that is not figured out in the podcast until later, so read at your own risk. The "Author Notes" section at the end of each chapter are NOT part of the episodes and are not necessary for understanding everything else, they are personal notes, thoughts I had when listening to the podcast.
I have an excel with all this information that I will be linking here for download in chapter 200, since in an excel everything is seen at once so avoiding spoilers is nigh on impossible. I will also link a folder with the pdf transcriptions of all the episodes which can also be downloaded in The Magnus Archives Transcripts in the Rusty Quill oficial web page

Summary
Thorin, Fíli and Kíli didn’t die, but it was close. Very close. So close that they still haven’t woken up and Óin can’t tell whether (or if) they will.
The Company, with Bilbo having been injured and out of it for almost a week by now, will not hear of him leaving until winter passes at the very least, and he has to concede (not without a great amount or arguing and grumbling) when he goes to take a step out and is met with a gust of wind that almost bowls him over, one that brings the scent of snow and winter with it.
Not long after he’s being introduced to Dáin, and learns that nothing is being done to retrieve the bodies (allies or otherwise) from the battlegrounds, nothing to start the rebuilding of the mountain, the men and elves are still in Dale, Óin is the only healer they have to care for the injured dwarrow, and there’s not a single sliver of organisation.
He will not have that.
He didn’t just risk his hide for a mountain just so that his work will be lost to laziness.
What else can he do then but to take on the mantle of Regent with The Company backing him?
