"Do you have a spell that kills fish?" Kelly is such a treasure. I guess the Elf has forgotten the 5th Level Conjuration Spell, "Codkill"
"We can still make chowder tonight, boys!" It is good to see that Rudy doesn't clam up under pressure.
Joe's Suggestion was a great bit of D&D Lateral Thinking.
Or the 7th level necromancy spell Fish Finger of Death
Way to go Joe using Suggestion to break the Enslave effect on Rudy, and Way to Go Monty for letting such a clever spell interaction work! Moments like these are some of my favorite as a DM and as a player!
Dungeon Dudes could make a complete pack of Stickers just with Jill's expressions during the game. She's IN it, it's amazing to watch
Little Tipp for joe:
With Gift of the Depths you have Water Breathing the whole time. So if you cast it on up to ten people you don't have to include yourself like you did in this episode.
Wrath: Hands the Immovable Rod to Rudy and says, "You know what to do!"
Rudy: "Do I?"
I was going to study but this looks more important!
Good choice
Correct answer. You gain a point of wisdom! 😁
@@Dragonkindred it occurred to me later that Kelly may not have ever said rule 62
Willhelm trying to wake Rudy by punching her and failing was so funny XD
Houdini being flag ((wing)) air direction master slays me.
Rudi’s shoulders being the steadfast for Wilhelm and Wrath was fantastic.
I love how animated Jill (sp?) says "Let's go boys!" with her Enlarge / Reduce spell
“You are a true… person.”
Every session creates a T-shirt.
Well played, everyone.
You should come with a health warning, I nearly was murdered when Monty said ‘and with that image, that is where we will leave it for tonight’! I screamed ‘NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!’, which the Mrs then gave me THAT LOOK.
Best theatre of the mind since crocodiles in the sewer peeps.
Stay safe all.😎
EPIC! Giant Rudi leaping down the gaping maw of the Duchess!!! Jaw-dropping battle! Love watching how the dice rolls are a seamless element of the parties attempts to foil Monty’s monstrous machinations!!!
Rudi: *jumps into the mouth of the Duchess and has a plan*
Me: *at the edge of my seat with tension, itching to know what happens next*
Monty: "and that's where we're gonna leave it for the night"
Never have my balls been so blue
Shirt idea? An image of the amethyst academy with the word Noodles under it. That way we know who our friends are.
Absolutely love the role playing. All of you bring the characters to life. Hands down the best D&D site on the web!!!
Kept waiting for the Dusk Wardens to mention the Hydra under the town
33:15 according to the Geneva Conventions : Whillem is a criminal of war by feeding a wyvern with a POW
this is scandalously hilarious ! ;p
Rudi riding an Aboleth , sounds as crazy as Whillelm riding the wyvern , i can''t wait to see the aftermath hahahahah ;p
I dont think if it was in this world, that is would include anything else then humanoids, so fiends, abborations and monsters and such would not be included in such
"Not a rule, just a fact." I see you Kelly
Wrath is so brutal it has tainted even the unshakable Wilhelm. I absolutely love it
Especially when his name is Rash 😂😂😂😂
EPIC CLIFFHANGER. It's good to finally see a new episode after a week break. Wonderful job Dudes and Jill.
2nd... Its been 2 weeks. We missed you all.
I would like to get a preview on the Rat Flute 🐀.
WHAT A CLIFFHANGER!
56:24 "I do have a pocket ballista" .... I bet he says that to all the girls
1:00:49 The best interpretation of the Rule 34 I ever heard.
can't wait for your book :D
want the rules for Delirium for my homebrew campaign :D
also using Grim Hollow for it :D
so what i want to hear some more about is the crafting with Delirium and the side effects, and a sneak peak on some of the items. :D
Absolutely love the show and can't believe that there are no ads. Please keep it up.
"
Hurry up and finish, ads! Can’t wait to get back in the Shadows!!
Question: did you include rules for divine delirium? i.e. if the leader of the fallen fire Lucretia Mathias transmutes the delirium from octurine to gold, arcane to divine delirium? I suppose it works as a focus for divine spells, etc. ?
She turned it to gold, but keep in mind when she did that to the sentient, upset sword it became more powerful and Pluto could use it again. But Ignacious never spoke again, I think she killed him.
@@ShadowsOfEssenceWhat? Ignacious still speaks whenever Pluto tries to lie, or does some other shenanigan.
Did Monty allow Wrath to take enlarged Rudi along with Thunderstep cuz Rule of Cool? If thats the case I aprove so much.
It's only fair, Sebastian Crowe was able to Thunder Step with a horse in Dungeons of Drakkenheim.
@@CrownlessStudios and that was one of the best moments of season one.
Rudi gets Enlarge from Eldritch Knight and Warlock just learns Thunderstep
And Monty probably didn't care/forgot that it's your size or smaller
awesome episode -- making and changing the plans of action, more plans and negotiations with factions, then moving into EPIC battle scenes, inspired moments of heroics, and even a special ending !
additionally epic = congratulations on the book progress!
Props to Kelly for wearing the eye patch for more than just 2 minutes
Hahahahah 2:35:00 “here Rudi, you know what to do!” “What?! I don’t know what to do! Kevin Costner in WaterWorld?!”
1:35:45 I was fully expecting a "Whatchu say 'bout my cAt?!" from Joel.
Yay! Watched half yesterday on Twitch. Now it's time to see the strategy in action!
How long til we are around the table with the dwarven forge again? Hope you all have been able you get your hands on some of that ol’ potion of Nocovid.
Noc'vid
I wasn't even playing and that was fun.
So is it basically confirmed Rudi destroyed the dam when she was in the special ops ?
Hell yeah! just noticed that plotline on second rewatch! Normal players would reveal such a secret in 2nd episode! :D Jill plays the intrique amazingly.
I like the air B and B.
Wait, it’s a D&D air B&B
Rudy broke the dam, wrath has parent-problems. good times.
I keep hoping Jill brings her new baby just to say hi
wrath you witty bastard that was a power move on the duchess xD
Love that you guys post these vids on Friday because i can stay up late on the weekends watching SoD!
I also wanted to add - for large battles like this I usually try and color coded token borders. I normally do blue for the party, red for enemies, and green for allies or neutral NPCS. Thought I would share, as it seems to be very helpful for my group!
Congrats on the manuscript!
Does the Tabaxi resistance/immunity to delirium persist in the book? Is it explained? I was always curious about that when it came to Veo handling that stuff!
Been a year since this but I have an answer (I think). Pretty sure that was a DM added feature of Veo’s background of Survivor from the text. I myself have a character in our campaign that I am running that has contamination and a mutation and is also immune to handling small pieces of delirium
In one of the talks they did about the book they talked about not having anything like that because they want everything to be effected by delirium.
Rudy has the hottest dice I've ever seen. Wish I could get those rolls.
Me too!
lol. Jill's face when asked the password....
That Enlarge-Reduce had the longest minute ever lol. From the boat on the sea throught the entire fight.
They really needed that time warp
Will there be a section for notable characters? Like the player characters.
Best teamwork cliffhanger ever!
The BEST EPISODE YET!
What a cinematic ending :-D I can't wait to see how this battle ends! Keep up the excellent work, everyone :-)
We’re going to need a bigger boat
Rule 34 being about temptation is hilarious
seconded, it took me a bit to connect those dots in my head, but as soon as I got it, it killed me lol
Oh my God, here we go!
Beginning of the campaign, Joe had no experience with casters. Now he's pulling reverse uno cards with Suggestion lol
Though I think he's played a wild magic sorcerer in a long term campaign... So he had some previous experience.
You can tell that Joe is going to look like a badass Peter Stormare when he gets older
Spoilers! Just in case...
Of course the Duchess is an ABOLETH! It surprised me but I suppose it shouldn’t have. This is a very heavily Lovecraft inspired campaign. Good job Monty!
Wow
Sweet
Thanx
You guys have been such a great source of entertainment, inspiration, and vicarious comradery. I look forward to the release of your new book with eager anticipation!
That is a cliff hanger or a fish hanger? Awesome!!
I WANT to see this movie!
Huh, oh, so *that* is what they meant by the Duchess, that is one ugly lady XD Great session!
I need a bed like that
You all were wonderful this game! Well done!
My solution would be Wrath asking if he knew about the Shapewater spell, its level and general accessibility - giving that info to the Silver Order, hop on a Raft with enough people to scout underwater for a reasonable length of the time to not only find and infiltrate the Duchess' lair but to assault it all together.
Throw enough just enough people at it underwater, and theoretically, you should be able to kill it before Contamination claims any lives.
Return to the surface with a handful of boats, get back to shore, and start Decontamination via spells.
It establishes bait, on multiple counts, revenge, recruits, and food, all within terrain favourable to their opposition.
Crossbows, Javelins are effective underwater, and as long as they anchor themselves to a degree, the marrow should have some difficulty pulling them into the water with their chains...
Or is that too crazy? 🤨
Only issue I see I see is the initial baiting, and maintaining it well and long enough that the Duchess not only shows, and but doesn't retreat.
If I were the aboleth, I would tire them out with attrition if I got wise to their plan. Maybe try turning mid-combat enemies into allies.
As Monty informed the players in the last episode, the contamination where the Duchess lives would have them doing constitution checks every single turn, so no one could make it down there long enough to kill the Duchess.
Love this ending, laughed so much.
Oh man, using Suggestion was epic!
Yeap, they should have said that the signal could be a lightning bolt in the skies or eldrich blast... In this way 2 can give the signal... It would have been hard for Wilhelm to give the signal (without fire bolt etc.)...
Very much looking forward to your book next month . I can't wait, but before that you wanted to know what we would like to see more of so here's my 2 cents. I want to create a member of the amethyst academy. Please share how! As always guys great work!
How would your create that cold iron that the silver order use to destroy Delerium. Can you make cold iron armor or wapones to counter the effect of Delerium. What process did the silver order do to create cold iron and how long it takes.
31K views and only 1K likes? Come on folks. Hit that button! It’s a great show! Lol
Epic cliffhanger!
Oh man, this book Dudes.
Perhaps we will need a Dudes vs Drakkenheim series, where you get a Guest DM and add Monty into some oneshots, see how well you do immersed in your own excellent creation.
*spoiler for last action of the fight*
As cool as that is, it doesn't work RAW. I ran into the same problem in last night's session, actually. Thunderstep only allows you to teleport a willing creature your size or smaller. Since Rudy is enlarged, she is 1 size larger than Rath.
Super cool, I'd allow it, but doesn't work RAW
Wait did Wilhelm leave his crossbow set up as a ballista or take it with him when they took the rowboat out to find the Dutchess?
Spoiler for the end of the episode
Now I've seen immovable rod shenanigans before with a half-elf and a gnome trying to stop a dragon in a similar fashion, didn't think I'd see the same tactic again with a shifter and aasimar on an aboleth though, great thinking Joe!
How can a familiar grant advantage to attacking an object?
That was Fantastic!
Woo hoo!! Congrats on getting the first part out!!
How many legendary actions does the Duchess have?
I finally caught up! I have enjoyed the adventures you all had guided me through. I listened to them all like a good book that I can't put down. I recall a wild magic that had healed others but one being takes damage equal to the total points of healing. Thought it would be interesting if that was a permanent touch curse. someone healing others but taking their damage. No magical healing, only natural. Just a thought.
Thanks for the series and thank for the vid on party composition :)
I want the next book preview to talk about the history of mages on the continent and the contract forged through the nations.
Did this air this week?? Cuz I logged in on Twitch to watch live on Tuesday, but didn't see anything streaming. Figured they had the week off... and then this appears? Where is their official schedule posted??
We okay Tuesday nights at 6pm eastern time. We streamed this past Tuesday, we had taken the week before off.
What an ending
Ummm did he just flash his delirium powered crossbow/balista to the Silver Order and no one noticed?
Electric Flail flail works by planeshifting molecular cores (nuclei) to another plain of existence.
Great play today all of you this round, thanks for the entertainment!! laughed my butt off between being tensed up at times :P
So glad the patreons helped out, i missed you last week, glad that Joe is back! (Was that actually why it didn't happen or was it planned, missed that?)
I hope you open up kickstarter in 10 days, i'll have my extra holiday money for the year payed out by then!
I have a theory that all lacefront wigs are modeled after Monty's beautiful hairline.
Finally found out what Wilhelm's "Rule 34" is!
What religions for clerics or paladins available. I am thinking of running a dwarven paladin when the book comes out but i do not necessarily be of the silver order.
That the temptation rule is 34 is just great.
I want the book NOW. My group is stumbling with a DM that doesn't always show up. I'm contemplating running a campaign and having watched all of the Drakenheim series', I really want to take my friends there and contaminate them. Tell Ghostfire to launch the Kickstarter already.
Could someone please tell me on what platform this is run? is it dungeonfog?
I believe this is roll 20
The new Delirium rules sound cool, but I wonder if the 5th level spells requirement leaves out the most crafting-focused class in the game for most the game. Artificer sort of misses out.
Unfortunately, the Artificer isn't in the OGL, so we can't make mechanics which address it specifically.
@@DungeonDudes That makes sense. One can always houserule an artificer-specific amendment for their table.
Amazing !
Awesome !!!!!
Gloria seems a bit more... Southern than last time.
