Dat tension in the sacrifice altar was golden. Really well done, for the players and GM. I hope I can pull off something that good when I DM this to my friends :)
@@codyviolett1445 oh, I get it’s not easy to give up a pet. But a actual person is worth much more than a pig. At least under most moral and ethical principles.
Our latest Death House run went almost as close to tpk as this one. We had life cleric, barbarian, druid, and bloodhunter. And we decided to fight that Mound. While our barb had no rages left. We've managed to put it down when cleric was already dead, barb and druid fell uncoscious and my bloodhunter was 1 turn away from falling down too. Aaand then he managed to stabilize those 2, and resurrect the third one, by making a pact with Asmodeus. But that's a different story :)
Great listen only just found this recently as I'm doing my second run of CoS. You were much more forgiving than I would have been with them carrying the bodies through the scythes with the fails. Would have most likely set the unconscious ones back into death rolls
I wanted to write how much I like Lilissen and how sad I am that she died, but I looked at other comments, and now I have to finish listening to the story.. Great work on the characters and great play to listen to and to inspire by. Thank you. Still, Lilissen is my favourite character 🖤
Holy fucking shit!!! That role-playing deserves a damn academy award. Are yall fucking serious, what the hell do you mean "we are not professionals".. Your guys DnD level is Platinum. It is an absolute privilege to witness this campaign. 👏 👏 👏 👏
I feel like this episode requires the shambling mound song from Lore Sjoberg's "Speak with Monsters" comic (sadly defunct): Lord, I was born a shambling mound Tryin' to kill adventurers with two attacks per round And if I hit with both, by my tendrils you'll be bound, Oh, I was born a shambling mound!
I think i missed something... Even on open ground, the party should be able to easily out pace the mound. As a large creature, its speed should be halved as it squeezes through the narrow halls. The party should have been able to kite it incredibly well. Of course, if they had just sacrificed the PET PIG...
Yeah I don't get it. It has a move speed of 20' so it moves 40 max. It can't catch them, but somehow it did? I'm listening to the podcast version but this really annoyed me.
@@klinesmoker5537 I think it's because of how the mound occupies a two by two space, rather than a one by one, which means it can sometimes 'cut corners' and kinda move more than it would appear to be able to
Are we getting any other AL stuff, besides the resurrection mechanic? I didn't even know it existed as an official thing until this episode so I figured I'd ask :)
I'm amazed by the quality of roleplaying here. I can only hope to be half as good a DM. Today's nitpicky rules lawyering: 2:43:00 A rat swarm's "bites" attack has a reach of 0 ft, so it can only use that attack to make an opportunity attack against a creature that passes through its space. I didn't see the movement because we were looking at another floor at the time, but I doubt Amity went out of her way to move through its space when she didn't have to, so she should not have taken an opportunity attack here. Likewise 2:59:07 Aethrandir should be able to cast fire bolt without disadvantage because it's not threatening him.
Another situation occurred earlier where Aeth fired his bow while in melee range of a hostile creature and didn't apply disavantage (while fighting the ghouls prior episode) so I guess it cancels out :)
What module did you guys use for the smoke effect? I wish me and my players are as good at RPing as you guys! Watching/listening to y’all got me hooked!
I used animated .webm files and just placed them as tiles on the map! They were originally animated spell graphics, but I repurposed them because I thought they fit nicely. (Sorry for the delayed response!)
You character does not have your knowledge. And the rolls are always going to be significant, even if you know things, and CoS gonna kill you regardless of what you or your character think
I love just having it on in the background. I find just listening, like an old fashioned radio show, works well for me. Each character has a distinct voice, they very rarely speak over each other, it’s unscripted, and really quite brilliant at points.
@rCurseOfStrahd I too am super glad it's mostly voice. That expands the range of activities I can do while watching this -- hand crafting, playing non-demanding video games, doing dishes, etc. And let's be real, I can't watch multiple 3-4 hour episodes of a tabletop game like a TV show, so I kind of have to watch them in this split fashion.

The raw emotion from Caoimhe's and Aerthrandir's voices... it killed me. Truly world class RP there.
That 30 minute "who should die" debate was such great roleplaying! Really captured the essence of scared people in a bad situation. Loved it!
Please keep the current format. I listen to this like a radio show and love it that way.
This is the first D&D broadcast series that has hooked me.
Omg Truffle is killing me 😭 Protect the baby at all costs ❤

You guys' characters and roleplaying of them are exceptional. How do you get so "into" your characters?
The insanity of the debate between a pig sacrifice and a woman.
Only in D&D, ammirite?
Well I’m guessing the understanding there is that it was a pet. And he was asking someone else to give up their pet.
@@codyviolett1445 oh, I get it’s not easy to give up a pet. But a actual person is worth much more than a pig. At least under most moral and ethical principles.
Of course. They do make it my more of an impossible choice than it had to be if that was the route they were actually going to go.
Correction: a debate between a friend and a stranger.

So glad you are out of that Damn house it is so fricken difficult for low levels
Technically, Metrion was supposed to be compelled not to leave the house, not the dungeon area.
The last minutes were just so intense. 😱 And I can't wait to see if Lilissen has a Dark Gift now cause she came back from the dead.
I wanted to write how much I like Lilissen and how sad I am that she died, but I looked at other comments, and now I have to finish listening to the story..

That ending!!! Jeez
This is an amazing series! i love every episode
Tell me why a fictional pig is making me sob. 😭
Are we getting any other AL stuff, besides the resurrection mechanic?

Love the background “one must die” did you make it?

@@DragnaCarta Thanks Dragna!
Aerthrandir seems to be the only one talking any sense in the first half hour ish
Does anyone know what the lingering table is that they used?
Love you guys! ❤
Your second episode link thing in the description has a typo and thus does not work.
Thanks for letting us know! It's been fixed.
This is the first DND anything that git me invested in the characters! Love it and hate Metrion!
What was that resurrection mechanic? She just came back to life????
Look up Dark Gifts from Adventurer's League
One thing I must have missed... where's the shambling mound?
What is the intro music?
several near TPK moments... wow..
I feel like the mystique of this campaign gets lost when everyone at the table is a DM and has ran the game? Thoughts?
You character does not have your knowledge. And the rolls are always going to be significant, even if you know things, and CoS gonna kill you regardless of what you or your character think
Death house is such bs as written.
I think this is unwatchable without seeing the real faces. There. Someone said so. Heres your chance to change for the next one.
This will not change for the foreseeable future. I hope you can find another show to watch :)

what a rude way to request face cams. the format is great as is imo
I like not knowing what the actors look like. Allows me to think their voices are just their characters.
