In the post-game discussions, Trapp said that what he loved about John was that he could see Brennan's improvisor brain try to come up with a character trait for him, and that Brennan landed on "completely normal", and that's honestly hilarious
14:07 I love how kind of devastated Maggie sounds when she says. "Wait you have a girlfriend?" Like she sad that she doesn't have a chance with John, but she also could just be upset she didn't know this big part of her friend's life.
I like to think it's a bit of column A and a bit of column B. She's devastated that he has a girlfriend and even more devastated that she didn't know that big detail of her best friend's life
my favourite thing is still years after Rehka continues to talk about John Feathers on podcasts and stuff. Still asking for Maggie John Feathers fanfic
The way the group just supports and protects John wholeheartedly is so wholesome. Also, Maggie sounded so disappointed when she learned John had a girlfriend 🤣 but I was so glad she got to heal him.
@@misti-step I loved the hat scene! She was encouraging him to be himself and I think that motivated her to also be her own person - enough to conjure her own healing energy unique to her to heal him later on. Very poetic.
05:20 I recognize this is kind of an inevitability in fantasy fiction, but I still find this line from Leland to be hilarious, because it implies the world of Elna has developed radar technology but still mostly uses bows and swords
@@somegoodsoup7008 You have the concept but probably still not the word in that instance. Radar _is_ a not-quite-acronym where radio accounts for the "ra", so I doubt anyone would realistically call anything radar to refer to stuff.
@@LividE101 i think this is the case where I envision common to be essentially translated into whatever language everyone at the table speaks; like the Tolkien legendarium novels*. Idk if WotC have an official stance, though. *which were, in lore, discovered and translated, but not written by, Tolkien himself
As a DM, there is no greater feeling than when a player just absolutely adopts one of your NPC's as theirs, and Brennan is a master of this art. I can only imagine the joy he gets to experience daily, and he deserves all of it.
I saw this before I watched Bloodkeep and I was honestly so confused. I thought Maggie was literally having a bird/human hybrid with John and I was pondering how the hell that happened. This character along with Avanash are the absolute best
The immediate enthusiastic friendship between Maggie and John VS The business partnership turned unlikely brotherhood of John and Marcus is my favourite thing because it, completely accidentally I think, shows the difference and similarity between these two characters who don't have a lot of one on one interactions and therefore there are not a lot of ways that comparison can come across.
What I loved about this was how real this feels. Sometimes you just make unlikely friends with the most random person. But also as a DM myself, your players will bond with the strangest creatures. I am DM-ing Descent into Avernus and all the NPCs on their side are regarded as "yeah okay nice" but not really interacted with. But the randomly conjured skeleton that almost got destroyed by the enemy they told it to fight, that one they love. The artificer dwarf has a crush on "her". As a skeleton she can't talk and technically does not have a soul or own dreams and interests. But ... I can work with this lol. At the same time, John Feathers becomes this really cool NPC and I feel like this is one of the steps those characters take towards "if we all bond together we can achieve great goals". Maggie angrily defending him, Marcus adopting him into the crew, the rest of the vile villains just accepting him joining. John becomes a part of this weird crew and they like him. And they like each other as well. Which is how they save the kingdom of evil.
yes by accepting him and wanting to help him they show that it could not have ended up pvp!!! they would work together!!! and omg ur skeleton npc sounds SO perfect for players to randomly love haha ❤❤❤
@@misti-step I can't even really take credit. There was an invocation in the adventure that summons three skeletons that serve the summoner. They nicknamed them and thought they were funny and sent them into battle but when two got destroyed they got very protective of the third one so in the end, the warlock who summoned them fought to get "her" out of there 😅 The Skeleton got a different status later. Tthe warlock offered an artifact that held a pit fiend to her fiendish patron and since that is a great gift, he turned the skeleton into an undead servant which was my way of telling them (okay she has plot armor now provided you don't abuse the invulnerability by sending her into the thick of it) I'm at the point where I grew fond of her lol.
I love all of this so much Brennan is a great dm and having another great dm as a caracter just mskes all of this fun and seeing how they and the other pc's play off eachother it's always enjoyable
This is hands down my favourite campaign. Just perfection. Wonderful to see Matt enjoy the game as a PC, and Brennan is, imo, one of the best GMs period.
In the post-game discussions, Trapp said that what he loved about John was that he could see Brennan's improvisor brain try to come up with a character trait for him, and that Brennan landed on "completely normal", and that's honestly hilarious
that and the keep my bones line where Mike Trapp talked about you said like three things and then had to mention keeping my bones
The mind of a true comedian that went what's the funniest thing I can do with a giant talking eagle just make him a normal dude.
Matt trying to stay in character when John said he wants to wear clothes.
So I literally when to work with two pair of pants on and half way through the day and spoke the words of Mr Feathers. "Ooo double pants!"
"Do we honestly feel that the free world refers to an altitude?" This line changed my entire life
Perhaps even latitude
Leave it to brennan to make a random npc a main character
Again
they always seem to be avian in nature...
Not even an NPC, he was just supposed to be a monster that they fought
@@yuvalne that’s the best kind of accidental main character and you can’t change my mind
The jawbone of the season
John Feathers spitting blood at a guy and going “clean yourself up” as he throws his pocket square lives rent free in the wank bank 💀
It's a reference to Internal Affairs (1990)
14:07 I love how kind of devastated Maggie sounds when she says. "Wait you have a girlfriend?" Like she sad that she doesn't have a chance with John, but she also could just be upset she didn't know this big part of her friend's life.
Rehka has said on multiple occasions she wants them together a lot and complains about the lack of fanfic between them a lot lol
@@liamross340 more reasons to love Rehka 😂
I like to think it's a bit of column A and a bit of column B. She's devastated that he has a girlfriend and even more devastated that she didn't know that big detail of her best friend's life
my favourite thing is still years after Rehka continues to talk about John Feathers on podcasts and stuff. Still asking for Maggie John Feathers fanfic
She absolutely had a thing for him, the amount of hurt in her "you have a girlfriend?" is immense.
John Feathers can get it.
oh which podcast was she on ?
Double pants! Double pants! Double pants!
The way the group just supports and protects John wholeheartedly is so wholesome. Also, Maggie sounded so disappointed when she learned John had a girlfriend 🤣 but I was so glad she got to heal him.
i love maggie and john !!

Brennan: *says a bunch of stuff about an eagle wanting to wear clothes*
players: Yeah, let's do that!
Brennan: Insane.
I was so scared when John was making saving throws during the birth scene 😭😭
The sunglasses bit killed me
its so perfect!
I love how we got so invested in this random npc.
Dare I say, John Eagles is the best pirate there will ever be
That’s got to be the best pirate I’ve ever seen
He took his girlfriend’s last name when they married
@@sonofpears4691 So it would seem.
Maggie and John are my fav ship
they are so great together!
excuse you are you forgetting samantha eagles
@@TheGIJew. of the philadelphia eagles??
8:55 this is the moment I knew this ship would sail in my heart
I'm still shipping him and Marcus
"I want a fuckin hat"
"LETS GET ONE BITCH"
13:11 the absolute shock and dismay of both Amy and rehka looks so genuine for this sentient suited eagle
05:20 I recognize this is kind of an inevitability in fantasy fiction, but I still find this line from Leland to be hilarious, because it implies the world of Elna has developed radar technology but still mostly uses bows and swords
I mean you got detect life and stuff so I guess it counts as a radar?

what a great moment lmao

I love john feathers so much
me too ❤❤
To not love him is a sin
John Feathers wore pants so that Beaky and the TAA could fire rockets
I love Rehka taking him shopping. Also, Ify talking to John is so funny to me. I love this sidequest so much.
i think john feathers is the sole reason rekhah kept playing d&d after this
Brennan had the heart to kill Peppermint Preston but not Jon Feathers
The fall of Preston gave rise to the war guy. Tragic, but necessary.
@@jamiereid7428 Liam really became a different guy after Preston
Preston needed to go, just like the dog John Wick's wife gave to him needed to go.
John Feathers. The greatest Eagle there ever was, is, or will be.
DOUBLE PANTS!
Protect John Feathers Jr. at all costs.
John Feathers the Eagle the Baby
No one calls him that
@@im_ur_dad5860 Well, I did
🤣😭 I have a friend that lives in Cherokee NC, hes full blood. His name is Jonathan Feather and he is a bada$$ hoop dancer! This made my heart happy.
trapp looks so happy w himself when he suggests the salmon lolllll
LOVE trapps face when he suggests a big salmon yes lmao
I would honestly die for john feathers
Oh my god how did I forget about John Feathers?! Such a great NPC!
Ohh, Double pants...
The madness that is Brennan
The 10 dislikes must be from rabid Dallas Cowboys fans angry that he’s dating Samantha Eagles (“from the Philadelphia Eagles?”)
John Feathers, you know, the eagle-man.
3:53 is all New York
Humans should lay eggs
Best character ever
0:42 i think they just called this guy Hickory but not gonna lie he sounds just like Bill Seaccaster
He’s Old Pickering, and he is literally just an old pirate man.
My ring aaah
So does his girlfriend, Samantha Eagles, go by Sam? Is he dating Sam the eagle?
I saw this before I watched Bloodkeep and I was honestly so confused. I thought Maggie was literally having a bird/human hybrid with John and I was pondering how the hell that happened. This character along with Avanash are the absolute best
lol glad u took a chance on this video before even watching bloodkeep haha ❤❤ and yes agreed!! love them both

The same thing happened to my group in Avernus except with a Quasit.
It might be a bird thing! Kiri helped the Mighty Nein with their group cohesiveness and teamwork protecting each other
@@braydenchadwick9836 Can confirm birds are very easy to imprint on. Made a Kiri-inspired bird and only used them once so far, but they are beloved
WHO is that MYSTERY BIRD strolling through the SKIES of mordor
An you make a compilation of every time Trapp say “we’re evil”
I love all of this so much Brennan is a great dm and having another great dm as a caracter just mskes all of this fun and seeing how they and the other pc's play off eachother it's always enjoyable
Erika is also a fantastic dm
This is hands down my favourite campaign. Just perfection.

This is beautiful
Matt slowly realizing the genius of a massive eagle that wants pants is lovely to watch.
holy shit, thanks for the upload. Loved reliving this haha
I never caught rehka saying "Be my doula" to John Feathers pLeaSE
I love that little interaction between Maggie and John about getting a hat
Wait which episode is 19:07 from??
The last episode
7:59 THAT TONGUE FLICK THOUGH
