Three times Nova has hurtled herself at high velocity, first into a giant, second to catch up with Zax Ravos, now into a pair of guards. A real blue bullet she is.
2:23:09 ah, yes, let's dream about the pleasant Rosehall inn where they stayed, with the warm plates and rustic decorations, where ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TRAUMATIZING HAPPENED
More crew members for the Stormchaser? Get a cargo bay upgrade and deploy the Longbow as a short range fighter like an X-wing? Oh yeah, and let's not forget Arvall!
@@Ramcio holy shit I didn't even consider that. Mark said earlier on that the Twinstar is way smaller than the Stormchaser too, so she's going to be so jealous, hahaha
@@tekbox7909 probably not all that much better in an atmosphere. And it still is bigger and flashier... She's absolutely gonna be begrudgingly impressed.
Yeah, they burnt all their spells and abilities, executed a really well thought out plan, and got really out of character High rolls AND STILL NEARLY DIDNT MAKE IT OUT. But no, they're soooo strong, ok Matt.
I absolutely love this campaign and when the new episode comes out on TH-cam I can not wait to watch it as it is one of the best parts of my week as I just can’t get enough. I also am just on the edge of my seat until they get back to Aerois!!!
Hey Robby, you know they stream live on Twitch on Sundays as well and, if you can't catch them live, you can catch the v.o.d. any time there after. You don't have to wait for the TH-cam upload (though I do believe TH-cam's player is superior to Twitch's).
This was such a badass episode, everyone did their roles excellently and turned what i expected to be a meatgrinder escape into a flawless plan. Gg rollers! POOP IN MY MOUTHHOLE
Started watching this show in July and finally caught up. YES! Finally caught up... oh, crap... I've caught up.. now I have to wait for the next episode... bummer.
The gang was so efficient this episode! Sometimes I find combat boring but in High Rollers everyone had such cool moments and its fun to watch. Spoilers Also that music when they were talking to Valla really got me lol
I never comment, but damn, this is such an awesome campaign. I binged it all through lockdown and feel so invested, you literally kept me sane. Would love to meet you all someday (which might be quite likely as I live in the same city apparently). Sending good vibes and love to y’all. x
Wolf Star Mark mentioned that they wanted a few more of the characters to get some upcoming “upgrades” before Nina made the new portraits. Then astral space happened and I think that has delayed a few things. :P
55:20 what Aila did was just the shove attack which only replaces one attack, so she would still have another attack "Using the Attack action, you can make a special melee attack to shove a creature, either to knock it prone or push it [five feet] away from you. If you have multiple attacks with the Attack action, this replaces one of them." (Pg. 195 of the PHB) Since the mage was only moved 5ft that's a shove, and the flavouring of having it be Aila picks them up and tosses them shouldn't change that. But let's say it was a grapple as you said. A grapple still only replaces one of your attacks. "... you can use the Attack action to make a special melee attack, a grapple. If you're able to make multiple attacks with the Attack action, this replaces one of them." (Pg. 195 PHB) If you decided that due to the flavouring of the action that you mainly provided that it was both a grapple and a shove then I think that's a bit rude. These rules are easy to learn so either you, Katey or the rule reminding Tom should get these locked down
@@Ganjamm I've always been the kind of gal to rules lawyer, and by that I do actually mean know the rules of the game and tell others with my source. These rules come up often enough especially with a barbarian that someone should know them
Been catching up for about a month now. Started back up from like episode 14 and still have like 100 episodes. Honestly hope I can finish this before the next campaign because I can't handle two campaigns at once xD
Is anyone else just a bit suspicious of their new Fire Elf friend? I know he was suffering madness but what if it was all an act to gain the party's trust? Mark planted the idea of shapechanging succubi who change to mirror the races of their targets and he just seems like such a perfect Male Aila... Hope I'm just being paranoid. Aila deserves answers! I'm caught up now and excited to watch live!
Imagine giving the person who already does extra d8s and magic damage more d8s instead of giving the guy with a mundane weapon more firepower and a magical attack
If the range of the weapon is 20 ft you don't incur an opportunity attack unless you move 25 feet away, although to be fair they're lucky they didn't just trash the ship
There are a number of Cleric spells that can be used to speak with one's deity. So it really is a matter of whether Mark is okay with that kind of use for it.
i would have done the charm person thing differently. I would have said nova knew they weren't humanoid. That was extremely harsh on marks part, not a great DM call in my opinion
They're level 11 in THIS campaign. Charm Person works on humanoids, if a player doesn't read their spell and still commits at this level to cast that spell on something that isn't a humanoid... They know what's coming
He would have that spell as a Cleric (it's third level) but there are any number of things that are called curses that a DM might not let you simply cure like that. It's usually more fun to quest for it then hand wave it away anyhow. But you are certainly not wrong. Played right it could be a funny ending to the whole affair and an alternative payment for the trip too.
Three times Nova has hurtled herself at high velocity, first into a giant, second to catch up with Zax Ravos, now into a pair of guards. A real blue bullet she is.
If I were the DM at this point I would give Nova a custom feat
She should really get steel toed boots for extra damage. Alternatively, spend downtime on the Stormchaser practicing to try and get some kinda bonus
Yeah she definitely needs a magic item, or something! To use it with
Stainless Salih then again, steel toed boots would be quite heavy
@@paulmahoney7619 Extra momentum for extra damage
One of the best d&d shows out there if you ask me. I'm so enveloped in the story and everyone's characters it's awesome
I totally agree! It is the best dnd show in my book as it was also my first.
Same for me, Ive only watched aerois, curse of strahd, lightfall. And then fantasy high by dimension 20 though

In my imagination when Gratts does the sending spell Quill’s reply is simply “you will try”
Players can get a little nice, non-cliffhanger ending, as a treat

I caught up during quarantine. I love this podcast.
Kim's portal placement and usage is brilliant!
Started watching this show in July and finally caught up. YES! Finally caught up... oh, crap... I've caught up.. now I have to wait for the next episode... bummer.
God damnit they've finally done it, they've finally executed a plan, good job crew. That is now the second plan of High Rollers to work :)
2:09:45 - I feel like the perfect response would have been "Get in line."
The gang was so efficient this episode! Sometimes I find combat boring but in High Rollers everyone had such cool moments and its fun to watch.

I really want Qillek to send a message to Oria (misspelled I'm sure) asking her how long it has been since she last recieved a message from him.
Maybe a spoiler if you haven't finished the video
Quill does contact Oryia and she said it's only been a few days
@@mme.veronica735 yeah.... just got to that part. I've been screaming the idea at my phone for episodes now. Finally! Thanks.

If it ain't broke. Break it with you

Why hasnt sentry's pic changed to Sentinel Prime?
Wolf Star Mark mentioned that they wanted a few more of the characters to get some upcoming “upgrades” before Nina made the new portraits.
Then astral space happened and I think that has delayed a few things. :P
@@suntiger745 oooohhh thank you. I missed that part. Thank you
suntiger745 i think Mark planned for the players to enter astral space also, because of the increased strength of alot of the monsters/encounters
@@WikkFuny it was only because of sentry rolling a 1 with the hadar portal collapsing that they got sent to astral space
Come on Mark, they just did well, good decisions not always common. Bravo, good show all.
Been loving catching up on these episodes. Top tier content guys
This is the episode I left off on like a year ago and now finding out how close to the end they are I gotta catch up so bad-
Is it really an episode of High Rollers if Nova doesn't cry?
SO tense! yet so satisfying!

@@Ganjamm I've always been the kind of gal to rules lawyer, and by that I do actually mean know the rules of the game and tell others with my source. These rules come up often enough especially with a barbarian that someone should know them
Yea, a lot of attacks has been lost by the Aila and Sentry, because they have been doing this wrong the whole campaign.
I understand Mark has a lot on his plate, but the players do not and they should have learned their characters abilities by now.
1.10.10 here comes sentry with massive damage
1.11.05 and there we go

Loved the episode!

I love Nova's bullet ability

The tuber tribunal has deemed your comment a worthy one for the almighty commentus God of comments

I will comment til the end!!!
Mark, it's totally OK to have a little easier adventures from now and then... quill is running out of body parts to sacrifice
Hmm, wouldn't Graz'zt be able to scry on them?
When they say "plane" in the spell description does it also cover planets?
I think Mark already said that each planet counts as a different “plane”, and the Astral Sea is also a separate plane from them.
Blind creatures cannot opportunity attack. 3 years too late lol
Concentration checks are HALF the dmg or 10, if 10 is more. Love the show, but that one bugged me.
If the range of the weapon is 20 ft you don't incur an opportunity attack unless you move 25 feet away, although to be fair they're lucky they didn't just trash the ship
okay but do they have the vod of that quiz they talked about?? i’ve been trying t find it but i can’t
ITS ALL GOOD once the group are level 20 they might be able to do it xD
Has Katie's hair changed shade, or is that my colour blindness?
She has many different coloured wigs.
@@AGrumpyPanda wigs? I thought she just dyed her hair alot

I’m a little behind on the episodes, but did they stop doing fanart? Just wondering :) (heh totally not wondering cuz I totally didn’t send fanart in)
No, they still do them every now and then.
They just did a big fan art vid
Thanks! 👍
Really need to let Rhi start doin the rhi-cap
Anyone else think that time on aerois is going slower because it is closer to hadar? Bc like black holes make time go wobbly?
Nova the Blue Bomber
Aila yells, This is Sparta!!!
I love this show but I'm not ready to be caught up yet! Soon enough the play next episode button won't work anymore
Doesn't aila still have that wish from that spider lady. That would make good payment
She's said shes saving it for something else
Indeed. A number of people assume she's forgotten it and she really doesn't like being bothered about it.
Calling it valor is brookstoning them. Trying to get info for daddy and lure them into a trap.
vala is evil?
Is it possible for quill to cast sending to speak with hespa?
There are a number of Cleric spells that can be used to speak with one's deity. So it really is a matter of whether Mark is okay with that kind of use for it.

It's usually more fun to quest for it then hand wave it away anyhow. But you are certainly not wrong. Played right it could be a funny ending to the whole affair and an alternative payment for the trip too.
Spoilers
Such an intense episode, and hilarious how easily they beat Graz'zt in the Feywild after this.
Consider putting in an episode number on your spoiler tag. Didn't expect it to be one for anything other than this episode.
