Esper, will you be creating a "monster" to explain the negative area effect to spawn this beast? I think it is necessary. Very creative sir. It seems similar to the Dream Vistage from your video 2 years ago about 10 old horror things. But not quite as powerful, more subtle. Was that a Gnoll or an "undead" werewolf? Or something worse?
Maybe calling it a Miasma of Maleficence..... 😬 ..... like a corrupting, mildly cursed area. Like an unintelligent ghost but an area of effect? Creepy. Maybe it causes characters to potentially get enraged if they don't pass some wisdom save in combat and randomly attack an ally.
Yes. This is DnD. Brutal, scary, gritty.... full of drama (but not THAT kind of drama). You can immerse yourself into the story. You want to cheer for these 4 guys.
The noises he makes for these monstrosities is excellent. Chunky, visceral, juicy..... 😂😂😂 Imagine the noises he makes when he has the flu. 😢 I bet his wife is scared to death. 🤣🤣🤣 "911.... there's a monster in my bedroom...."
Esper, I think you’ve found a gem with this story! Please keep it going to its natural conclusion, wherever that may be! You’re a great story teller and DM!
Great story/battle. I hate the 5e rules but you’re a great story teller- you are excellent at showing how the rules aren’t as important when there is a good story.
Let's gooooooo. I'm sure the brotherhood of fjarlstead gave you a nice respite from the whole situation happening right now. It sure has given me some.
What I actually love - even tho it's more based on the story telling than monster melee, it's still has encounters in each episode. As a combat enjoyer - this is good!
Awesome, more Brotherhood of Fjarlstead! It's great to see the four survivors getting some more character for each of them. I hope that they can find their way back to civilization before the horrors of the night claim them. Thank you so much for putting time and effort into these stories, and I can't wait to see what happens next. Hopefully they can all work through their nightmares. If not... well, I might just be speculating here since we don't know enough to say anything more, but that thing they fought... I wonder if it's foreshadowing of what can happen to men in the mists.
I echo many of the other commenters, I'd love to see this series continue on. I'm hoping to see some characters created from Monstrous Heroes in the future as well. I've been enjoying creating new characters again as your book offers lots of options. Great job, Esper!
I like this format better then the monster melee. Don't get me wrong monster melee is what drew me to your channel. But the combination of story and the melee is great. Please keep this tale weaving it's tendrils deep into my imagination.
Humans need and we crave good storytelling! When our world crumbles, it brings us relief, hope and fuel for the upcoming struggles. Thank you a lot! Huge love for your work over here!
Man absolutely love this series your doing amazing work, please keep it up, I would love to see the history of this land begin to form as well as these characters struggle to survive these dark times!. Hopefully none of them get afflicted with anything, that is one nasty creature, great and i mean great roleplay as well i wish i had players that role played as you do!
@underfire987 - I was thinking "They need to be sure to cleanse those wounds." Esper's new creature had me freaking out. "Is that a Troll Werewolf?" 🤣🤣🤣 "Run for the hills...." 😬
Just wanna say man your content is really kicking my nuts in these days (in a good way) love the monster melee, the Fjarlstad bois are serving... KEEP IT UP! Cant wait for more!
@@esperthebard As far as I know, me. I thought about using "The songs of the dead are the lamentations of the living", which is the first sentence in Christopher Paolini's book Eldest, but it didn't seem to fit quite right. After tossing around different wordings for pretty much the same message, I came up with that.
@@esperthebard I sometimes dabble in short stories. I've found that I can write an individual scene that is very vivid and, in my opinion at least, quite good. But I can't ever link these scenes up into a cohesive story.
The brotherhood did very well this time. Nice to see that no one got knocked out this time, but they have to find some food now. What kind of creature was that? Did nor recognize it? Something new you created for this story? If you don't want to spoil the surprise and thought of revealing more in future episodes. That is totally fine. 👍
Yeah they did really well! Fortune was in their favor this time, and not in favor of the monster. It's called a blightvulk, a creation of my own. It will probably be in the next newsletter for those subscribed to the full version.
Very cool design on the picture and creative abilities. Something more then just a generic brute of a monster. It somewhat reminds me of a Swamp Troll from Norse folkelore. 😁
I love these videos and I'm fully invested in these characters! I did notice a possible small mistake. In the first round of combat you said Isaak readied a dagger throw, but then didn't do it. Wouldn't matter anyway, since they crushed this encounter, I might be being a little pedantic. Waiting to see more of this series!
What the flip was that thing? Some kind of weird troll with lycanthropy? A failed experiment by a mad wizard to create said lycanthropic troll? I NEED TO KNOW!!!!!
And with just a little intro at the beginning, I am instantly more invested and interested in this fight than even the two demon princes fighting. Well done. 👍🏻
Oh yeah! I have been waiting with bated breath for this one sir! Your Letters to Elon were really amazing in my opinion I just really enjoy this series a lot! It's been amazing to watch what these men have gone through, it makes me really miss playing D&D. I just can't find a likeminded group in my area. It is what it is. Maybe someday! Until then your series are FANTASTIC, and I am deeply enjoying them! I am sure you are a hell of a DM Esper! Always keep your faith and love for adventuring. I will say wild job, you are not going easy on any of the characters
I have to say, I am particularly enjoying this series. Its been a couple of weeks since you have put out the last video. Are you planning on continuing this one? I would love to see this one progress into a short story, similar to your other content. Monster melee, supported with a story is very engaging.. Thanks again for this. Hopefully the series will continue.
@@Sagnak91 - Yes..... this is old school DnD. But they need help. I hope they find a Ranger to assist them and get them back to civilization to recharge and figure out their plan. Phase 2? Revenge?
Okay this is sure seems like super cool upgrade, nice job! Oh wait it's not an upgrade, you did the same before, but it without "DnD combat encounter". I guess I have to watch all of them now. I thought they were just you talking on some fantasy slideshow...
If there was some way you could "Live Stream" as a GM, while we all follow along and play a hero/hero's and lvl up are hero's with you through the months/years, this channel would "Blow Up".
@jinxtheunluckypony - They're looking for a city, civilization. I would love to see the interactions of a pub, tho. They're starving, dirty, and need to be able to relax. Maybe they could find another couple of adventurers that would want to join? They need a Mage and another Cleric, maybe a Druid. Maybe a Ranger?
@@redfaux74 I'll just do an edit here because I think my earlier tone was a bit unhelpful. Anyway, I think that DnD is under absolutely zero threat because every table can run it any way it wants and if you want it a specific way it is easy to do. And I think the concerns of the last videos are incredibly overblown in a dramatic fashon that garners overly zelous and exhausting energy-consuption that should wisely be spent on real problems.
@Simon-ow6td - Sure.... agreed. But his point is no one wants to see lollipop warriors, rainbow berserkers, cotton candy wizards. We want our DnD back. People want to buy more product but can't see spending money on art made by CEOs consumed with their fragile egos and fetishes. We want horror, dirty combat, Necromancy, not bubbles and cartoon smily faces on Orcs. We don't want woke nonsense. It's like watching Terminator 5 and the plot is gone, no fighting, no guns, no robots chasing you. We're not paying for that.
How about a three way battle of different parties? The smell of fresh bodies from a raided village attracted ghouls and giant rats, that are hostile towards each other and the brotherhood.
I wonder what will happen next for the Brothers of Fjarlstead. I don't claim to know the heart and soul of a master bard however I do wonder if I were a bard, will I continue the tales of these legendary warriors or did I not expect them to become so famous therefore not being able to kill them but not knowing how to finish their story. If either of these thoughts are true or others I still think the next adventure should be a DUNGEON :) To find a time amulet or a resurrection spell for their families, bit on the nose I nose :) I'll leave the epic fables to the bard! I think that would be amazing! If you're willing to do like a three hour video or a series maybe? Might need a healer, a young priestess they encounter maybe :)
Loving this series so far, noticing a couple of potential errors in the brothers’ statblocks. Alexander should have a third spell available for preparation. Isaak should have an armor class of 17, unless his shield only provides a +1 to his AC.
Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it! Good catch on Isaak's AC, it should be 17. I just checked, and it looks like the 2024 PHB would have a paladin with 3 prepared spells at 2nd level, not sure if I'm going to switch over to that book.
Hey, I wanted to ask what software you use for these videos. It looks very easy and intuitive to use. I’m currently using Owlbear Rodeo for my group. Also, does it cost money?
These adventurers started out as town guard NPCs, who are not outfitted with bows. And they have been unable to procure bows for all, since their troubles bagan. 😊 👍
@dennisthornton4434 - Do you apply that in real life? You sound like a prepper. These guys have gone from a peaceful life to ultimate disaster. Their families, even their children, and town decimated. A hidden stash, buried in a spider hole somewhere, would be a lifesaver right now. Their only hope is that Paladin. It I were with these guys, I would be asking that Paladin what it takes to become one. They've experienced true evil. They desperately need some true good. Their very cores will be forged into something wonderful.... or turned to ashes.
Maybe a few hyena with them? I've always thought Werewolves would be interesting to ally with Gnolls. If a Werewolf bit a Gnoll.... and procured the curse of lycanthrope..... 😢 that would make for a very monstrous Werewolf indeed. Same with Dire Wolves. Infected, they would be fearsome.
@@redfaux74 Gnolls with hyenas is a good idea. Though to be honest I am quite new to dnd and don't know how big of a challenge a werewolf would be. I have the feeling this would be too much for the brotherhood of fjarlstead.
@kyte5648 - Right now.... Yes, that's too much. But these are good ideas you've had. I'm real life Hyenas have a stronger bite than Lions. Their bite crushes even the thickest of bones. The thing they just fought seemed to have Werewolf traits. Twisted but kind of.
@@redfaux74 I think this was a creation of esper himself. The blightvulk(?) They were able to handle it quite well, but I don't know how strong those creatures are. The possibility remains that one day they will take on a true werewolf/-rat/-bear.
You can't move and ready and action and the charger feat say that if you use your dash action, can make and Attack whit the bonus action,so you can't range and charge attack. But aside from that, you're a great storyteller.
I'm confused. 😢 Two of these guys were at deaths door previously, zero hp. Do they automatically resume to full hp after a full rest? Thanks Esper for pulling us back to "reality". 😂😂😂
Love this series! Can you make the brotherhood fight against something with human level intelligence? Like enemies that can taunt, insult or laugh at them, instead of mindless beasts.
@kyte5648 - I was enjoying the adult horror and deep drama. I don't think this is the group for Jesters, jokes and nonsense. Especially right now. They just lost their companions, families and they're hungry. Neon and silly has no place here.
@@redfaux74 I know what you mean, but I don't intent it being silly. Imagine an orc presenting them the skull of it's victim and shouting: "You will meet the same fate!" Or a crazy hobgoblin saying something that especially gets under their skin. Just enemies that don't simply growl and scream. This can be pretty dark.

Man I loved the monster melees but Brotherhood of Fjarlstead is becoming my favorite content of yours, great work 👍
Mine too. And it is technically a Spin off of sorts, as the Brotherhood started as just one of the many Monster Melee episodes.
Agreed
Ditto
This is what we need more of in Dnd as a whole.
Amen. Less pop culture references and meme jokes, more authenticity and passion in storytelling.
Yes. This is DnD.
Brutal, scary, gritty.... full of drama (but not THAT kind of drama). You can immerse yourself into the story. You want to cheer for these 4 guys.

Its seems like the Brotherhood is getting stronger with every fight.
So good see Isaak got past he's fears and helped his brothers.
And a crit hit with a dagger, first class ❤

Awesome brother, I love this adventure series, more please 😊

The boys are back in town
Back to form! Might throw this at my players next week

I wonder how far our brothers will make it. Hopefully the go far.
Highly entertaining and really enjoyed the characters
Funny how Isaak keeps killing things
At least finishing them off. ❤
Like the thief in that old Conan movie.

like their fight for survival a am here for the next day
This has been interesting. I wonder if the Brotherhood will ever find company that doesn’t want to attack them.
@jinxtheunluckypony - They're looking for a city, civilization. I would love to see the interactions of a pub, tho. They're starving, dirty, and need to be able to relax.

Can't wait to see another episode of the Brotherhood.
It continues!
Also what creature was that?
I Flat out do not know it
In the description, in the sidebar, it said something about a Blightvulk.
It may be something new from the depths of Esper's mind.
Nice one! I see light streaming through that building's window...Civilization, allies, enemies, food or all 4 of those things or none?
Plz make more of these !!!
Great story thanks esper
7:12 I would have shit and run if that thing popped out. Sorry boys.
Luv it🎉
I'm sure it's too late for this, but it would be nice to have a sequel/remastering of Beneath Pale Man's Grave.

Finally
Loving this series so far, noticing a couple of potential errors in the brothers’ statblocks.
Alexander should have a third spell available for preparation.
Isaak should have an armor class of 17, unless his shield only provides a +1 to his AC.
Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it! Good catch on Isaak's AC, it should be 17. I just checked, and it looks like the 2024 PHB would have a paladin with 3 prepared spells at 2nd level, not sure if I'm going to switch over to that book.
@ I believe the 2014 PHB also would have the same amount. He has a charisma modifier of 2 and half his Paladin level (rounded down) is 1.
Hey, I wanted to ask what software you use for these videos. It looks very easy and intuitive to use. I’m currently using Owlbear Rodeo for my group. Also, does it cost money?
A lot of people asked that in the previous video and it was answered.
Yes more fun. A story and some adventure. what kind of 1st level adventuer doesn't have a bow.
These adventurers started out as town guard NPCs, who are not outfitted with bows.
And they have been unable to procure bows for all, since their troubles bagan. 😊 👍
Fingers crossed, they have better fortune (with food and equipment) for the terrors ahead.
They certainly do have a bow and 3 arrows. They recovered them as part of some treasure 2 videos ago.
I always have bow and 20 arrows at first level. No hidden caches? no underground places of storage?
@dennisthornton4434 - Do you apply that in real life? You sound like a prepper.

Two hungry gnolls would be an exciting encounter, maybe with bloodthirsty hunting dogs.

Good catch! They rocked the monster big time, so the bit of extra rage damage didn't really matter anyhow.
These people need some down time.
Did Issak throw 3 daggers but only have two in his inventory?

Do they automatically resume to full hp after a full rest?
