I love that Trott actually said "Solwynn the Problem." I love it so much. It is one of the most Chris Trott moments in this entire campaign (while in-game, ads and such don't count).
I want to imagine that if they get Grazzt and some super powerful celestial, the Stormchaser will megazord into a giant battle-bot with an arm mounted mega cannon
Knowledge that best boy Max is resistant to the fire from Lava makes me less worried about these goons going into Lava. Also love that Max at least (seems) to be more chill about working with them now, which is nice.
I love how everyone at the end is like "that's a migraine" and Tom is like "nah". I've had migraines. The aura makes reading impossible. And if I don't take something during the aura stage, the headache stage is so bad that I have to take a 3 hour nap to recover.
Yeah, it did sound like a possible migraine starting. For me it's if it doesn't go away a couple minutes I first notice, it's 6 hours of fully blind and horrific pain. Thankfully don't get them often anymore now that I've learned some of the things that cause them (sunlight/bright light/uv being one of them, another being severely imbalanced light levels between eyes.)
i can just imagine, Aila having lost her mesenger ring... and just randomly they hear some kobold voice or a goblin using it one day where someone randomly stumbled across it.
I like how Mark is talking carp about how the later gen pokemon are based on things like ice cream cones and swords as though Gen 1 didnt have pokemon such as Magnet, Exploding Pokeball, purple puddle of sludge, Actual Rat, Bigger Rat, duck with an onion, pigeon, slightly larger pigeon, notably large pigeon, brown lump that pokes out of the ground, and everyone's favorite, pink puddle of "genetic material"....

Spoilers, of course. 0:01:20 No. I want a funny D&D stream. Where people are ships and try to catch Demon Lords in balls of poking. 1:27:12 Was fuel consumption ever mentioned before? How much fuel do they store? What do the engines normally use? How much do the shields use? How much do the energy guns use? 1:47:28 "Name or _describe_ a person, place or object" - Dwarf-like being made of gemstone, serving the Forgemother. 2:38:25 If together they reduce by 75% (to 25%), then on their own, each mission should reduce by 50%. 0.5*0.5=0.25 2:56:29 Islands exist, Tom. Are you saying that trees in Gusthaven are *physically connected* to trees in Goldthrone?
The fuel has been mentioned before but it's never been described in detail what exactly the fuel is, how much it costs and how much they need etc. Just whenever they stop somewhere Mark mentions them obtaining fuel, this is the first time it has come up where there is concern about running out.
1:36:20-2:36:30 When Tom questioned how stupid the magic of plant door is, when the trees don't have to have their roots in the same ground. I sincerely expected Kim to respond with something about the universe's "Mycelial Network" for a Star Trek Discovery reference.
Can't believe no one has put this yet regarding the dwarves in the episode, but... I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole! Diggy, diggy hole, diggy, diggy hole! Your welcome
Old spoiler? - - - - - - - The way everyone laughs at Bim’s death when he had JUST made friends with Nova. Plus his death was so preventable but so easy to overlook at the same time 😭 It made Thalia cry but everyone else is just laughing at his little imp body slowly flying through space 😂
Preventable only due to certain abstractions. I don't really know that death saves make sense in situations where creatures are not supposed to truly die. I know the means of travel was a region of space that interfered with that nature but unsure how that might really turn out. Also because nobody realised what was going on they couldn't actually prevent anything so they still didn't get the option. Not to mention it's really an oversight on Mark's part. Imps don't have a lot of health so his nature wasn't fit for the level of play. He was mind shot due to a single mind blast. And with his health being what an imps is that still would have been an instant death.
So I'm still like 15 episodes behind or something but I just wanted to say I look forward to getting hit by this intro again Edit: lmao I'm back and it got me
What if Valena is trying to build a replacement for the World Engine so that losing it wouldn't destroy Aerois? She has spent the entirety of Aerois' existence maintaining it's operations she must know how it works by now, the issue might be powering it given that it's powered by Genesis energy. Knowing how a system works would be easy for her but an equivalent power source could be difficult. At the same time if a Titan can build a device that maintains a world created by The World Engine then it would be clear evidence that it isn't nearly as infinite a device as Kalus believed. Anyone else been hating that for a long while? Why does Kalus think it's power is infinite? It only breathes life into one planet but it must remain there or the planet dies. Infinite would be if the planet could survive without The World Engine, or The World Engine sustaining multiple planets. There is nothing infinite about what it has done so far, just very powerful, like all the other Relics. All theory craft at the end of the day but yeah, I'm betting she's working on Engine replacment shit.
Just a question as I don't think I've ever noticed. Have the Storm Chasers encountered any other adventuring parties in their travels? I know they've met individuals, but not sure about other groups.
Especially when the best gen 1 pokemon isn't even from gen 1, alolan sandshrew babyyyyyyy (comment made to aggrevate and cause even more comments for the algorithm)
My favourites are the Eevee family and Abra, Kadabra and Alakazam. Eevee just got better and better with new variants in subsequent generations. However the Yuri Geller lawsuit really made me mad. One of my favourites got buried because he decided it was about him. Quite frankly when I think bending spoons I think of the Amazing Kreskin.
Yes. She tried to use it on Mezmera. It would free up one of his attunement slots but that's about it. Though it would probably fix the burn scars that everyone has seemingly forgot about too. I was afraid that Nova's creation was going to be a poor aesthetic but it really just blends in. Which is really ideal for a prosthetic.
Maybe it's just the stress getting to me, but I lost it at Mark's pronunciation of geyser. In the US we pronounce it like "guy-zer" and "gee-zer" is a word for an old man. Lol
@@dollarestoreoffbrand5545 Yeah. That was something of a problem before he went totally ghost. Not to mention when they returned from Astral Space the first time and Mark was telling them he left the Stormchaser despite having been with them the entire time.
Me: *Super behind, listening to them talking about wrapping up the Aerois campaign* Their Channel: *Nearly a year later, still doing Aerois* Me: Surrre...
I was always thrown by their Final Arc AMA stream in 2021. Though they may have change their minds and plans. On top of that a number of thumbnails and titles that didn't demonstrate any sense of progression or rapping up. Sadly that means I've been binging other Actual Plays instead of bothering to catch up on this one. Feel like I slept on Aerois and am now trying desperately to finish what is very close to over.
I love the alliteration of Siaska's Salvation, but the word salvation is a little off putting to me, like it's too arrogant. But what about Siaska's Saber, or Siaska's Spear? Like you are not saving Siaska, but rather fighting on her behalf.
I would point out that it isn't about saving Siaska. It's bringing her Salvation to everyone. I don't see that as arrogant at all. However the fact that besides Sentry, and tangentially Qillek, they aren't especially pious either.
I am not sure I like it that they go back to live playing again. We do still see them in those small boxes and I got used to this now. But what the hell, it also took me a while to get used to them playing online I am sure I'll get used to them playing live again.. and they seem to be excited for it
Omg they actually used that as the episode name. Thought it was just a joke 😂. Anyone want to make an estimate on how many episode’s are left this campaign? I love this campaign but i feel they are stretched too thin. I’d love to see them in a more fantasy less sy-fy world
@@andreinastasie4001 i tried to get into it and spoiler I got to when kim’s character died and then they went into a forest and immediately found someone who would resurrect her and stuff and it just felt s bit forced. Also I didn’t feel the characters knew each other enough to be as upset as they were. They knew each other for like 2 days. I know grief affects people differently but i feel at least the start of the campaign was a bit iffy. I’m sure it would be amazing once i get into it but I didn’t. I’ll probably just wait for next campaign
I'd take a rough guess at 165-ish. There's definitely a few threads to complete before finale, and I suspect Mark will be furiously writing C3 in the background. He joked a few sessions ago about a more trad fantasy setting for the next campaign, in response to Kim's sci-fi-gasm.
@@RossMKitson yeah… i just don’t yet see how they’ll beat all the remaining titans. Fight the titan killer. Fight the titan beasts. Fight starbane. Fight hadar. I presume rosemary and mesmara will come back to do something. They have to fight another hadar touched. General roleplay. Like 20 episodes just doesn’t seem like enough.
@@definitelyarealperson248 on reflection, you're probably right. If they trimmed some of the shopping, banter episodes (or ones where Mark wings it), then combined some goals together then the end might be in sight? So Zakira-Hadar together as BBEG, allied with Starbane Vs fighting him, some titans combined? Dunno. I love the campaign, but it feels like several of the characters are well through their arcs, and Mark is constantly challenged by the epic level play. Of course, they could do longer episodes like CR do.
"There may be more than meets the eye" -Root Prime
But nobody reacted!? Was it only me that geeked out for a sec?
The most professional D&D show on the internet!

Me: *looks at the episode title* Heh
I love that Trott actually said "Solwynn the Problem." I love it so much. It is one of the most Chris Trott moments in this entire campaign (while in-game, ads and such don't count).

The lack of megazords so far is upsetting
I find your lack of Megazord disturbing
Go go Aerois rangers!!!
D1: I do not mean any physical harm or mental damage to any of you.
Me: So, it's emotional trauma then.
Bro the Stormchaser is so cool now. THERE'S VENGEANCE IN THESE ENGINES
Sentry and Aila going fucking wild about the catapult was hilarious

Yes, in Tom's case it sure gave High Rollers a completely different meaning. 😜
I felt Kim's pain when they brought up Nemesis. Never bring up Nemesis.
i can just imagine, Aila having lost her mesenger ring... and just randomly they hear some kobold voice or a goblin using it one day where someone randomly stumbled across it.

Right?? Highlight of my week!!
When things get too professional it just gets weird, that why I watch the yogscast :D

Part 2 starts at 01:23:28
Every time Lucius takes command of a ship I feel like this turned into "Our flag means death" the D&D campaign. Lol
I love all of you thank you for getting me into dnd
Leaving a comment for the algorythm gods. Very good Episode
I like how Mark is talking carp about how the later gen pokemon are based on things like ice cream cones and swords as though Gen 1 didnt have pokemon such as Magnet, Exploding Pokeball, purple puddle of sludge, Actual Rat, Bigger Rat, duck with an onion, pigeon, slightly larger pigeon, notably large pigeon, brown lump that pokes out of the ground, and everyone's favorite, pink puddle of "genetic material"....
Also, Metagross is my favorite.

But i will acknowledge that its referred to as a leek in the games.(although, they are both in the Allium genus, and the one is generally seen as a type of onion by most cultures.)
Also, fish, other fish, bigger other fish, eastern dragon, western dragon, cartoon dragon, clam, a literal mime, and jellyfish.

Break free of the boxes. Can't wait for April 10th!!!

Floating through space AND bonking around on stray debris.
@@williamdappen2331 He's already revived, in all liklihood. He's an imp who died off his home plane.

Yes, Mark pod and coffin are different. Coffin sounds like your foreshadowing Nova's death. 😬
Scintillating Scotoma can explain the blindspot. Visual migraines, and they can occur with no pain.

Love this episode!
NGL, I'm on team Tom with the Travel via plants/tree. 😂
Also Tom, I'm glad this is in the past so I know you didn't have a stroke.
huh so did become the the title. Neat
Lucius's scales at 54min. 😂
Pokémon was too far after my time but you fighting over gens was amazing.
A great thing to help me come down from over stimulating myself with loud music.
Yuuuuus another brilliant episode
Is the people launcher borrowed from rust on the harbor?
Just pause at 54:29 and look at everyone’s faces. Do it.
I’m imagining the party travelling through the roots of every blade of grass across Aerois until they get to their second tree
Vengines, the most efficient power system
Even tho they have different colors, the crystal dwarves are pink in my mind and I don't know why
No these dwarves ain't no pointy eared leaf lovers.
Just a question as I don't think I've ever noticed. Have the Storm Chasers encountered any other adventuring parties in their travels? I know they've met individuals, but not sure about other groups.
Mark really likes poison pokemon. Bulbasaur, Haunter, Gengar, Beedrill and Oddish
Ahaha yes they actualy used it as the title
why do i always just imagine them somehow modifying the titankiller giant gundam suit, and slamming root into it to fight for them in the end end game
I feel like into the fire by sabaton is perfect for the jumping into lava
The laughter gets inside all of us LOL
As a Star Trek nerd... Thank you Mark.
Bulbasaur is and forever will be my #1.

Nova; Normal Heart Rate
Sentry; Radiator Hum
Quill; _Ima kill you, lyrics comin' at you with supersonic speed _*_I'm-_*

Doesn't Hope have the spell Regeneration that could regrow Qillek wing?
Yes. She tried to use it on Mezmera. It would free up one of his attunement slots but that's about it.

I told myself id catch up. That was way back when we met the sorcerer's sister. Idk why I fell off so hard, but I defo need to get back into it.
Leaving a comment to appease the higher powers of the algorithm
Surely they can't just use a level 5 spell slot to get a fire damage immune gold dragon to swim down and do it?
So, the Stormchaser has an archwing slingshot now?
Fridge is running in sentries chest
Maybe it's just the stress getting to me, but I lost it at Mark's pronunciation of geyser. In the US we pronounce it like "guy-zer" and "gee-zer" is a word for an old man. Lol

gosh gee Tom, you're really funny
Does anyone know what happened to the lion eterna that was a cape for sentry?
I think he left at some point? It wasn't entirely clear. Though it wouldn't be the first time Mark has mislaid an NPC. *shrugs*
@Nicol Bolas aperently he's still there. They just don't talk to him, use him, refrence him etc. Wouldn't know though.
