I feel Mike earned inspiration for doing non-beneficial, RP action counterspelling the fireball and feeling all great about it in character.
Scott Kurtz gives some credit to Perkins for always letting them do the fun thing. Nice little moment.
The Jim-Percival rivalry is pure magic.
Justpastawesome Correction, it's Darkmagic
@@eczemazem7334 Sorry you're both right it's pure Darkmagic.
"I'm better than you." I seriously belly laughed at that one.
"Once you get enough paper in a stack, it's a tree again."
There are two other rods that, when combined, can make BBQ pork spicy, and their names are "Tex" and "Mex"
Honestly as a life long D&D player who hasn't been able to find a group for a few years this series is something I look forward to every Wednesday. Chris is just an amazing DM and you guys look like you're have a blast!
Try finding a group on roll20.
you should watch critical role it blow this out of the watter
roll20.net/
go to roll20.net you'll find a game in an afternoon.
It is relatiely difficult to find a "good" group on roll20. I must have tried over a dozen different groups and they mostly fall apart after the first few sessions - or it becomes a little too weird for me.
Look at how delighted Chris is at 36:40 - for a moment he thought they'd figured it out but no! What a great mystery it turned out to be!
Rothfuss' Beard and general appearance always makes me think he's playing a dwarf. Have to remind myself he's not.
Hah, I'm with you on that, I always imagine him as someone who looks like him but then remember, oh right, he's a nimbly spry guy.
Compensating for something.
This is what I look forward to the most every week. I'll be genuinely sad when it ends.
im with you. i wait all week for these episodes where i can drink a beer and watch some great o D&D.
Me too!!
Binwin is a level six fighter/ level two barbarian. He has two attacks from attack action. When he decides to use two weapon fighting, he can make an off hand attack as a bonus action once per turn after his attack action. He if decides to use his Fighter ability called "Action Surge" he can use the attack action again, and swing twice. But can't use a bonus action cause he had already used one this turn. Since Binwin has the Fighter feature " Two Weapon fighting style" he gets to add his strength to all off hand attacks. Where he normally he would only add just a dice roll. And because he has the Dual wielder feat he can use ANY one handed weapon to use with Two Weapon Fighting.
He regains Action Surge when he takes a short rest. Hope that clears up any confusion or if anyone wanted to know.
NERD!
:)
So many nerds watching DnD games... Who would've thought?
He should only be getting four attacks with an Action Surge, and three attacks without. Two-weapon fighting requires the use of a bonus attack to make the off-hand attack and a player only gets one of those per round. Action surge does NOT give an additional bonus action. So that is 1 attack, 1 Extra Attack, 1 bonus action attack (off-hand), and 1 Action Surge attack.
Perkins has reiterated several times (usually in the live games) that they "kind of just make stuff up as they go along" and only use the RAW as a guideline. The original Acquisitions Inc. podcast was done right after 4E came out as more of an exposition of the system than an actual game, and it's always been a comedy-driven series above all else.
Nobody cares about the rules, it's about having fun.
Personally, I think this is a great use of Pat Rothfuss's time. I'm not even kidding. This is way better than writing those boring books.
Finish playing D&D just in time to watch some D&D. What a great day.
3am can't sleep. I can think of nothing more awesome than catching this instead of sleep. one hour long yea I'm excited. NO SLEEP TELL PAX.
I'm assuming Chris has remembered that Jim got the level boosting books and lost them in the house. The question is did Percy find all 3 or just one?
If he got all three then he would be significantly better then Jim and that isn't the case.
I just think he would have to have been pretty bad for a single book to make him slightly better.
Comparing the original fight and how powerful the books were said to be really doesn't work out based on what I've seen.
There's only one person who held a symbol of Melora and he was Eladrin... They called him, "Al."
HIS NAME IS AEOFEL !
yup yup
it may be aspica. its a double setup
I swear to Melora, if it's not Al, Imma flip out
its probably not him sadly.
Just about too sleep, then I see a new episode of Acquisitions Inc just came out. Best birthday yet!
Congrats!
+terrorblades Thanks!
Grats
I'm betting when they figure out its Al, Scott will immediately say, "double axe to the face."
whos all.
Aeofel, an eldarin avenger (paladin of vengeance, in 5e), was a founding member of Acquisitions Inc. He supposedly died in a pit of acid, back in the halcyon days of 4e.
Wil Wheatons character, Aeofel. Al for short.
i know who al is he was my fav. i meant which person did you think. now i know its mask guy.
+LordFhalkyn no, they brought him back after that. there was that whole thing where somebody raised him from the dead before they could and they had to get him back.
I actually don't remember what the explanation was as to why he left the party. not even sure there was one.
This is so much better then game of thrones!!
After Binwin said "I just keep chopping" I instantly pictured him trying to carve an ice sculpture out of the giants body. 🤣
Anyone else really enjoyed just all the looting and such that happened?
welcome to the Binwin Blender. It slices, it dices, it makes Julien Fries.
I think that's the most respect that the team's had for Al...ever 😄
Aww yeah. Off work, time to crack a beer and nerd out :D
This is why you always hire a bunch of teamsters to haul stuff back to your ship.
the fact that Jim Darkmagic would protect the life of the Frost Giant trying to kill him and his party members, JUST to make sure his incestuous cousin doesn't have ANY glory made me laugh so god damn hard
Just FYI,
You get 2 attacks with your attack action, then 1 attack with your bonus action. If you Action Surge you get another attack action - so 2 more attacks.
I enjoy Perkins accurate description of the castle. The portcullises, murder holes, that stuff just adds a layer of believability to his storytelling!
I love you guys soooo much :) Thank you very much for being Acquisitions Incorporated for all these years!!! Greetings from Germany ^^
Loving this so much! Thank you for adding so much loot and treasure like old school AD&D. Was always my favourite part dishing out the goodies as a DM! :)
I cant get over how epic of a DM Chris is. I would kill to be in a session like this. It's so well coordinated and it's like every conceivable situation is planned ahead. Unreal!!!!
What happened to the three books of awesome Jim inherited from his grandpa at the Darkmagic estate?
Did Jim use all three?
They play these things so sporadically, I doubt they keep track of all those details. Last year they completely forgot about the drow Aeofel branded in the forehead.
@@joemzd they didn’t forget about Danielle, they let Drizzt shred her to bits with his scimitars.
Two episodes of ~1 hour. What did we do to deserve this? Thank you so much 😢
I feel like how Kurtz's attacks works changes every time he plays. I can recall an update by Mearls regarding this "attacks per round" thing. Back in Pax 2014, he had this sorted...but it's not anymore.
level 1-4: 1 attack/round.
Level 5-10: 2 attacks/round.
Action Surge means you get another Action. So if you use the Attack action you can another number attacks as if you were using a new round.
You only ever get one Bonus action/turn, regardless.
From "Sage Advice" regarding Action Surge:
"No it doesn't give you another bonus action. The optional part is that if you haven't used your bonus action that turn you can still use it after the action surge".
Not sure if he has the Dual Weilder Feat to use a Battle Axe in one hand and a Hand Axe in the other, or if he has the Two-Handed fighting style, or if House Rules are in play. So his actual attack bonus and damage bonus per round is a complete mystery. I think Chris is just letting him wing it just to keep things moving.
So as I read it, he *should* get 5 attacks/round IF he uses Action Surge. Four with the main hand and One with the off-hand, like Feylauer (sp?) said.
Hey Mike! Yeah, Action Surge only grants an extra Action, so it should be 5 attacks in an round where Kurtz surges. -Nerdarchist Ryan
Nerdarchy Hey Ryan! :) Thanks for confirming that.
It is also worth noting that it takes a bonus action to rage, so you can't rage the same round as you get that bonus action attack.
blugobln85 Also true
And on that note, I think he forgot to add his rage damage to his hits. Assuming he's got a 5 str mod, he'd have to roll a 1 to only deal 8 damage, unless that was his offhand and he didn't take the Two-Weapon Fighting ability from fighter. I'm pretty sure he's not a full barbarian.
Scott kept forgetting to add his strength bonus to his attack damage
Another 1 hour episode, this is fantastic!
Dang guys! Check what the potions do! I'd be filling all my water skins with whatever I can find.

I know, nobody asked for it, I did it anyway. I was looking for something like that, could not find a decent source, so I made my own. Feel free to share. :)
It’s a complete list of all the Acquisitions Incorporated adventures, both the podcasts and the videos (live-shows and the series)
Wow. Jim bullying Percival looks like it really has a personal effect on Chris! Like, that's secondhand bullying! It's amazing :D
Loving the hour long episodes, hating that I have to wait a week for the next one.
9:00 it's situations like this that make me not only love DnD more but these guys, i have tears in my eyes from laughing so much xD
Chris just made a huge ruling on an ongoing debate about how dual weapons work with multi-attack. It seems you get 2 attacks PER attack action, meaning that you dual wield on each attack action. That's insanely good.
No, if you have a weapon in your off hand, you can use a bonus action to attack with it, it even says that in the PHB.
Not what I'm saying. There's significant disagreement on whether a Dual wielding character gets 3 attacks (2 main hand, one off hand) or 4 attacks (2 main hand, two ff hand) with the Extra Attack ability (at lvl 5 for a lot of classes). The reason is because it requires a bonus action to attack with the off hand weapon, which might mean you only attack ONCE with it, because you can only use a bonus action once. Chris' ruling is that you use the off hand weapon twice as well, which is insanely good.
That ecstatic squeal @ 45:37.
I look forward to these every Wednesday. Keep up the great work you guys.
Dang guys! Check what the potions do! I'd be filling all my water skins with whatever I can find. God I love this series. Perfect balance of good humor and jokes and intriguing story telling. I want to see what happens and I'm laughing all the way til the mystery's solved!
I really believe it's Al behind that mask. I have been mulling this over all day, but could it be possible that Al is somehow behind Dran Enterprises? It wouldn't be too difficult for him I imagine to pose as a long lost sister to get back at Omin?
Think they got Binwin's attacks wrong. A lvl 5 Barbarian, lvl 3 fighter would have
- Attack action --> multi-attack = 2 attacks
- Bonus action --> off hand swing = 1 attack
(potential Action Surge to get one standard action once per short rest)
The multi-attack only works with attacks made using the Attack action, not the attacks granted by dual wielding feat using the bonus action.
@39:30 Speaking of Blams-- everytime I see the commercials on Rick & Morty, I can't help but think of Blamimations
When the GM says "No, that wasn't a Freudian slip!"...
"I stab every NPC in the back, immediately, to death!"
Forgive me, I'm a bit confused.
Which sister is the "evil" one, and which is basically switching sides?
Loving this series so much. Thank you for extending the episode times out to an hour.
so happy these episodes have been getting longer, i love watching you guys every week
48:00 ... I cannot count how many times I yelled "JIM'S INTER-DIMENSIONAL SPACE!!"
As much as I love this series, it seems more fun when they do it at PAX. The audience adds something more to the experience. On an nerdy note, a portcullis comes from the french porte coleice which translates directly as "sliding door".
The counterspell...I loved it lmao
interesting twist on loot, with everything giant size the heroes will be having a hard time hauling without a Bog o' holding or a Handy Haversack or something...
this series is getting better and better
One of the best ones yet, the problem solving, top notch
Chris Perkins. Awesome shirt/shirts man. Limited Edition Todd James DnD shirts...so cool! Also great job DM'ing so far! Keepin' it fresh!
THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT AN HOUR. I loved it. Great as always.
Why does Tycho not use 'guidance' more often to help with the simple checks?
Hate to point this out but jim is in possession of a portable hole and a bag of holding. BoH from Ark line, and portable hole from Dragon eggs. So much loot lost because of poor inventory management. And also a secret magical chest.
I love the idea of letting your players roll their loot when they find it.
Of course, I wouldn't do that all of the time, because it really breaks that 4th wall and makes it hard to as a DM plant an item as a plot-hook. It's still a cool option though if your players are into it!
Should have just used Jim's rope trick. He could throw the scrolls into the magic space and come back for it later.
Lol I died on this one. Jim in his baby bjorn yelling pussy.
Calling it now, guy in the suit is a Drow. He is in the suit for "reasons" including protecting his innate levitation powers that sunlight destroys.
never mind now I'm second guessing myself. finished the episode and also remembered that all of chris' drow have french accents. unless 'she' is half drow.
I am waiting for this every week so freaked awsone.
Did Binwin add his Strength Bonus to his attacks? It looks like he only added his Rage damage bonus.
18:56 in
Calling it now. Visor dude is Wheaton's former character...
About damn time, too. :D
that would be awesome !
Aoefel Lives
I'm inclined to heavily agree. I was concerned that Aeofel was just forgotten about for a few years, now.
And I just looked it up (was harder than I thought it would be). Aeofel was an Avenger of Melora in 4e and converted to a Cleric for 5e...
Drow levitate dude. Explains the helm because of sensitivity to light.
IT'S HIM! HE'S BACK!
GO GET HIM!!!
Oh god! Whill he appear at the live show?!
nonono, we really don't want Wheaton back here. He was so annoying in the past, always taking all the attention from the others
+Navith132 I miss Wil..
I doubt it, chris did not like it when will was playing with the group and he when out of his way to show him no mercy over the whole acid trap murder hole.
I've been waiting for years... Aeofel Returns!!!
RIGHT??
Please no.
as have I though honestly does this mean a return of Will Wheaton?
Hey guess what it was.
Sweet a new episode! Thank you penny arcade.
It pisses me off so bad that Scott keeps fucking up action surge.
You get your attack action again, that means BOTH of his attacks. He should be taking 5 attacks per turn w/ AS and bonus act atk, not fucking 4.
I love your Blams Scott!!! We need more Blams pleasssseeee
I wish I could be a great DM like Mr. Perkins. :(
Perkins! Bruh. You're forgetting to add the proficiency bonus to thieves' tools checks.
According to PHB pg 114, it should take 14 hours (and cost 350 gp) to copy a 7th-level spell to your spellbook. Half that if the spell's school matches your Arcane Tradition. So to copy those scrolls should take Jim 24 hours and cost him 600 gp.
This series needs to be turned into a cartoon.
43:06 calling it now, one chest is a mimic
The Darkmagic feud is so gd petty and I love it.
this is my favorite thing in 2016 and if i had any friends i woild play d and d thanks to youu guys buut i dont so i enjoh seeing this everh week
Thank you so much for the longer eps.... Aeofel lives!!! What do we think people??
If I remember correctly there was some stuff that went down personally between Wil and Scott which is why he doesn't do the A.I. stuff anymore... so if it was Aeofel he'd probably be NPC and I dont think they'd use him unless Wil was coming back, which I dont think will happen unless he and Scott patched up whatever beef went down between them.
Is that certified or is it hearsay? Cause I heard he just didnt have time or something and cut out to do his own thing
wilwheaton.tumblr.com/post/120140274049/ive-been-watching-some-older-acquisitions-inc
so somehow I don't think it will happen unless they've patched things up.
Fair enough, one can only hope
yes yes yes, YES YES YES.
to all the people complaining about the upload time; my violin is playing just for you
I'm calling it now guy in the red is Aeofel. He prays to malora and we last see him retrieving a magical sword. He is also a elf with a potty mouth It would also explain his reaction to binwin.
Why in gods name does this get uploaded at 4AM as I'm trying to fall asleep rofl
Stop trying to sleep noob.
Because it 1AM in their local time (Seattle).
They're a lot closer than I thought o-o
The two most exciting words in a D&D session: Roll initiative.
Is there a place where we can see all of their sketches from this? Would love to see some!
I know it won't happen but they should totally slide back down the mountain on top of the big chests back to the airship that would be so cool and they'd get the gold.
wish my dms were as good as Chris Perkins..love watching this, ill be sad when it ends
58 MINUTES? PRAISE JEBUS MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN HEARD
So much love for you 5!
If percival can neither see nor hear fey, and the masked guy is an elf of some kind, is percival even aware he's there?
also, half elves are considered to be fey in 5e, so how can percival even see Omin?
I immediately thought of this while watching the episode. Percival definitely could not see Aeofel during the Last Will and Testament of James Darkmagic I. However, Percival was able to see Omin. So, unless the rules have changed, I'd suspect that the masked guy can't be Aeofel, and is rather most likely Auspicia. Within the rules, the only way I could see Percival seeing Aeofel is if the curse from the Wortstaff family was removed since last we saw Percival. I don't recall if Percival had any interactions or indicated that he could see the masked guy, though. Yet, I think that the idea that Percival is oblivious to the masked guy, is highly unlikely, as they have been traveling together.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
i picture Binwin hacking that giant like mel gibson in the patriot after his kid dies.
the DM is asking for your marching order for the first time in this series ..... that can't be good.
Loving the episodes :D Keep em coming~!
Were there audio issues around the 28 minute mark or something? I mean great episode but those pops really messed with my headphones, switched to speakers.
I think it is Rothfuss' beard messing with his mic. Happened last episode too.
in the end scot still got the number of attacks wrong XD
Shoulda used the dark magic unicorn to carry stuff to the robot! :p
1 hour. Awesome.
Melora????? Aeofel's return!!!!!
PRAISE BE TO MELORA WHOM OF ALL MELORAS IS THE MIGHTIEST MELORA
