Ben is NOT a stinky poopoo head.
If that shirt if goes on sale I'll grab it and I'm not one for novelty shirts.
Need another shirt that says necromancers are/were people too.
I'm doing my part! 😆
4:06 Rob: by the way Alan, Greg has this useful skill you should *probably* consider using
Alan: Oh yeah *does ANYTHING else* 😂
This is killing me
I mean it kinda makes sense it’s a 1 in 10 and you’ll want to do holy weapon and guardian of faith if it fails so get that set up early then hit them with the divine intervention because otherwise that’s extra rounds where you could be attacked
Alan is by far the worst player on the table. Remember when he spent a round of combat to spend 6 seconds learning about yeti acting behavior. Then had his character changed because he couldn't be bothered to learn the game and still doesn't learn or use anything Rob feeds him. Alan should be a guest player like Hamish or Byron because they defintely put more effort than Alan does.
@@GreyKnight597 he’s the only one of them with a family, so it’s understandable that he can’t devote to this as much as to his other VLDL duties. It’s just a game.
@@martinajurickova5750 His two kids are *young* too, so super time and energy consuming!
What a cool fight so far! Baradun calling down Djeoph the Dragon! Bodger and Greg teaming up to form a Holy Weapon! BOB is also there!
And Wotsit dancing while slowly burning to death =D
Where? I don't see any Bob....
The djeragon
I was so HAPPY when Rowan came up with the idea of throwing the hammer to Greg and then calling it back.
Bob have the important job of rolling badly! 😅
The part where Rob slowly sank into the fire, talking about manly shit, had me crying of laughter 😂
It's so funny when Bodger gets offended for the enemy having two attacks 😂
Enemies should never be allowed to do the thing players can, it's so unfair!
He's lucky as hell that it wasn't 3 attacks like the Ice Giant had 😬
If greg was an artificing cleric, he could have made a holy handgrenade
When Greg cast Holy Weapon, Bodger should've given a 10 minute speech to Greg about the hammer's rightful owner.
"well now that I blessed it it's a property of the Church, sorry"
I love how Rob said to Greg at like 2:35 that "You start your turn in heat" because all I could imagine then was a very turned on greg who has no idea why he now wants to play a bard and seduce the giant 😂
Glad it wasn't just me...
@@Lorqu1nsame, I also was wondering if I missed some new fetish... Greg has had so many changes in the campaign.
Right? Same
I was a little disappointed that no one in the game caught on to that.
How the heck did no one at that table make a joke about Rob's phrasing?
‘Greg starts his turn in heat’ ermmmm ok 😂😂😂 interesting turn of events guys, now Greg is a cat?
Lol I was floored none of the guys made a joke about that
Same! really surprised they didn’t react, with their dirty minds lol
i thought the same thing
2:35 when you said "you start your turn in heat" the spanish subtitles translated it like you're in your mating season lmao
In English it's the same.
Yup - Greg is indeed in mating season!
@@VivaLaDirtLeagueDnD😂
@@VivaLaDirtLeagueDnD Bud Baradun looked more like it in the greenscreen :D
I work with dogs for a living, and that's totally the way I heard it! 😂
"Rolls unnecessary number of dice"😂 Captions on point as always.
15:05: Oooooo! Look at Bodger! DnD'ing like a BOSS!!!
Bob in the corner watching kelothac ads as the lava fight is going on
I really really hope someone hit Bob with radiant damage before the finale. 1) for the LOLs and 2) to nerf Kelothac
Rob needs to have a long talk with Adam about how concentration works, and how you can only use one concentration spell at a time. Then he needs to have that exact same long talk with himself in the mirror because he ALWAYS forgets and lets Adam cast multiple concentration spells 🤦
What was the second one? Djeoph the Djragon was the only one that I saw.
@@mikesleftarm84hold monster
@@Jarhol oh right yeah. That happened right at the end though so I guess we'll have to see if he brings it up next session.
I mean the dragon has 4 hp left so he can disappear
Funnily enough this was filmed before the PvP - pretty sure Adam (me) has learnt now 😂
Rob's boss encounters are top notch. I've learned that lesson myself about cool mechanics that have me doing a lot of maths during my turn, but sometimes they are needed to tell a good story!
Maybe because I don't know anything about WoW, it wasn't until today that I deduced that Azerim is a portmanteau of Azeroth, where WoW is set, and Skyrim, from TES V.
Yes. And the game that Azerim is in is called Skycraft (Skyrim + Warcraft).
@@DH-xw6jp That makes a lot more since then what I thought. (Skyrim + minecraft)
I thought it was Azure+Rim, azure as in the color of the sky.
And in the midst of all the blood, choas and fire the little quasit never stops dancing. Keep dancing Wotsit, never stop.
Read that in David Attenborough-voice
I love that BOB rolls for Wotsit's distracting dance and declares [16] that "he's sufficient."
13:43 “I’m a stinky poopoo head.” 😂 A very important public service announcement, it would seem.
Oh I thought meant that somebody was telling it in the announcement! 😶🌫️
Breath weapon? More like a Djeoph weapon 😉😆
18:12 Love that volcano mini, so cool
Yeah it's one of my fav special effect minis!
@@CuttingWords it is super cool, can’t wait to see what other stuff you loan Rob over the course of the campaign!
@@CuttingWords I think it's super cool - but my most important question about it is, can it also emit odour? 😁
I love that Djeoph is back again! Nobody puts a 😑 on Alan's face quite like good old Djeophreigh! 🤣🤣🤣
Friends don't let friends do necromancy. Djeophreigh will keep Alan on the straight and narrow! 🤣🤣🤣
Alan actually loves Djeoph. He’s his favorite character
@@VivaLaDirtLeagueDnD so Alan will be doing the ad spots for the Djeoph merch that's coming out? 🤣
@@VivaLaDirtLeagueDnD but surely he doesn't love him as much as Bob, because nobody can love Djeoph more!
I can't believe I'm actually caught up from ep1. Seems like yesterday they were struggling to take nets off themselves and Greg had a mechanical flame throwing sheep who could Xerox documents. Cheers from Boston! Can't wait to see what happens next
Same here! As of today, I've joined the club of those having to wait for the next episode.
Guess it's time to catch up on the Misfits and the 2(?) series I haven't started yet. :D
Aa Rob is explaining the HP split, I'm sitting here wanting to scream: "Greg needs to HEAL him!"
The fact that this has almost hit 200 episodes is crazy. There's no such thing as too long of a series! This is like the one piece of dnd campaigns to me now lol
10:39 I didn't know Baradun was that excited about radiant dragons! 😂
Sorcerer using Charisma for spells make sense now, everything is sexually summoned.
Great, listening to them singing "I want it that way" gives me the idea for the song "I rolled it that way."
🎶Tell me why!
These dice seem to be cursed,
cuz i rolled it that way🎶
Just noticed Rowan got his hero token back for the hammer idea - so happy as it was a really cool idea.
First tentacles doing nice things on him, and now he's excited about a dragon. Baradun is a monster lover.
The call and response "Ahhh" was just too funny.
The boys are doing real cool battle here! Yeah let Rob do all the confusing arithmetics for the mechanic!
Favourite Ben comment of the session "This is sucks" 😂
English skills as good as his maths skills 😂❤
Throwing the hammer to apply Holy Weapon and then calls it back is so cool, good job DnD-ing Rowan! 👍
Guys, you need some little dragon be a permanent decoration in your tavern. They are amazing guardians! And, as an extra, can serve as a replacement mini! Rob won´t have to remember to bring one each time! Win-win!
It's a shame when you know that he has about *30* dragons at home
I remember when Adam was like: "I haven't been using my abilities recently." Proceeds to use Bend Luck once, and then forgets about Bend Luck and Tides of Chaos for another 20 episodes. 😆
At the rate Bob's roles are going, Greg may have to do necromancy once 🤣
This is a really great fight with the complex mechanics and the guys really working together with their skills without meta gaming too much - bravo gentlemen! ♥️
look at them doing all that D&Ding...remembering things, and using their initiative...they are all grown up! 😅
Adam's dice seem to be reflecting the lights too much. If you can't hang a diffuser over Adam's chair to interrupt it slightly, they do make matte finish dice with high contrast. Might make it easier to see. Could also try some ultra matte polyurethane varnish to reduce the reflectivity of the dice.
Yes please to all of those things!
Necromancy, not even once...followed by that smile omg, killed me, hahahahahaha
"You start the turn in heat." Yeah, baby! This just turned into a VERY different D&D game!
How is it possible that no one made a joke about Rob's hilarious phrasing?!
"it's gonna blop out a gloopy splodge of lava"
English is truly a beautiful language.
So funny that the guy with three attacks gets offended at the enemy having two LOL
Minor detail but im pretty sure the dragon has 50hp when cast at lvl 5 not 60. Also the giant should be rolling dex saving throws for the dragon breath. And once more baradun casually concentrating on two spells 😂😂
I'm glad someone else noticed this stuff. I know he's got a lot to focus on, but Adam really needs to learn his limitations...
I assumed he cast it at level 6 since 56 damage left it with 4 hp. However, it should have had 3 rend attacks at level 6.
That's why he's the high sorceror. Rob can balance the game to match though, when it's not PvP
What's the second spell he's concentrating on?
EDIT: Oh, Hold Monster at the end there.
Yeah I had upcast it. But I’m an idiot poo poo and don’t realise for a few more battles that I get 3 attacks when upcasting 😢
Now everyone knows the real reason we play D&D is for this moment: 10:41
I am raging that I've caught up with all the episodes and have to wait like a low socioeconomic peasant! But it's worth it 😂
This fight is kind of a blueprint to when they have to fight BOB in the end, I'd wager 🤔
I love this show so much! I get to see my favorite group of goofballs hammin it up and throwing down. And it also reminds me that tomorrow is payday 😁
13:41-44ish
captions on
I wanna know what Ben did to earn that haha
Lor! what have you done?!😂😂
25:41: "It's rightfully mine!" ... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The impression was so good I thought it was Alan at first
Bob having disadvantage on any roll is "outrageous" lol.
Poor Bob already has disadvantage on life 🤣
@@lambentlampreyin the game.
16:57 Ain’t nothing but a heartache 🎶
Worst case, I suppose Greg could blinding heal the boss XD
Not a bad idea actually if they need to stretch his health a bit.
Djeoph enhances an already awesome moment as usual.
That was a good ending point but I must know what happens next!😂
Does anyone else fucking love that opening scene with Bodger throwing a wetty and Bob with all the black mist pouring from his eyes, Baradun summons Djeoph and Greg panics about heals... Omg that sets the mood. I need a BATD Tshirt!
VLDL.shop for all your BATD shirt needs 😎
Thadagar skit crackes me up way worse than it had any right to
The radiant dragon aaah + green screen part had me rolling
I'm trying not to get stressed about battles but I actually looked forward to this one!
Plug for the VLDL podcast featuring Rob. It was a great listen 😊
Baradun slowly realising what his spell can actually do is so good. Wanna see how he reacts when he finds out the dragon shares his damage resistance with him lol
I love how everybody except Ben plays their characters stereotypically. Baradun, the cocky sorcerer, Greg the cleric who hates his party, and Bodger the dumb barbarian. And then there is Bob. The rogue who just doesn't wanna die.
The slowly sinking robert killed me xD
Ben needs some magic items to keep up with the rest of the group. Greg and Baradun being full casters are reaching god mode. And Bodger is carrying around a legendary artefact.
I would try and help bob achieve reaction based attacks for 2 sneak attacks or some additional ways to guarantee a critical.
Other than the club fight where he could disarm traps hes never had the opportunity to excell.
Since 56 damage left Baradun's Draconic Spirit with 4 health, that means it was cast at 6th level (60 hp). This means it was supposed to have 3 rend attacks, rather than 2. On the other hand, once again Adam has Baradun using 2 concentration spells at the same time (Hold Monster and Summon Draconic Spirit), which is against the rules.
He has the multitasking feat, an unspoken-unwritten homebrew feat.
At 3:00 when Alan says, “I cast holy…” my mind went to “sh**” instead of hand grenade after all that damage dealt to Rowan on two sword swings. Should definitely be a cleric spell! Maybe that spell powers Rowan’s new ring?
And to think, you could have summoned an UWU frogonic spirit to suck out the shadowy evil 🐸
My headcanon is that radiant dragon "Djeoph" is a giant Frog Prince in his "true" form.
Oh god no. Not again.
@@michaellane5381 nice. And they already destroyed his wife's swampy home earlier in the campaign.
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a stealth made
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I rolled a one again!
For Bob ❤
"Stitches? No, I don't need stitches, I watched VLDL this afternoon and they got me into it already, thanks though."
Never thought I would keep watching a D&D game, let alone one that is already on episode 181, and to top it off years in the going ... Seriously guys, never stop being you.
Baradoon "Casting Radiant Dragon" - Arra Arra!
Me: do you know that a Wizard's staff has a knob on the end? (Thank you Sir Terry Prachett for that joke)
I love watching Adam play this campaign. He seems so into it with all the minor details to which he pays attention.
I tell ya what, these guys are starting to finally DnD.
Although we did end with two concentration spells and the wrong order of actions by Baradun.
@@WeddingSingerCB I said starting to. I didn’t say they were there yet
@@WeddingSingerCB although I missed who had two concentrations up?
@@christopherauvenshine2092 Baradun. He cast hold monster, a concentration spell, after telling his dragon to attack, which is also concentration and technically not supposed to go until after his turn.
@@WeddingSingerCB ooh good catch. It failed so I hadnt noticed.
Ah, so B.O.B. is Kelothac’s sugar baby ? 😂
21:40 Rob took that “Shut up!” Personally
Just in time to pass the time, standing in a hot bus, with 40min to drive.
I love the "necromancy not even once" given I love playing a necromancer lol
Waiting for the episode where the Bob hits the enemy.
Poor bob, i think he need an enchantment like a bow that never misses.
If he roll enough attack, hit like normal.
If he failed the attack, still roll damage but half or quarter it. At least he can consistently deal damage over time and not pure 0 😂
That vision Bob got is very interesting. Assuming it is a vision of the future from Kelothac's POV, it implies that he is aware of his actions, but not in control, kinda like being trapped in a body with two minds, which is also very reminiscent of how every one of his Warlocks has been.
Perhaps the Dark Lands have had an effect of creating a split personality in Kelothac, one which is full of hatred and a craving for vengeance, while the true Kelothac is still in there, trying to fight for control and avoid a cataclysmic event...
Or maybe it's nothing, who knows.
...aaaand greg forgets again about that divine intervention. immediately
Ikr 😢
tbf it's like a 90% chance he just wastes his turn. The hammer buff was useful and cool.
Greg could've done the *BLINDING HEAL*. Benefits them in all the ways, he won't die AND be blinded
I was thinking the same thing.
It would heal the giant, _massively_ wound the wither, and blind him causing disadvantage on all his attacks.
It is the perfect spell for this fight.
@@DH-xw6jpbut is it true, that the wither-part would take damage by that healing-spell?
maybe it will just get healed, too ...🤔
@@PoobertFartley it is injured by radiant spells.
I would assume that a healing spell would wound it just like it does undead.
@@DH-xw6jp well, Wither is something other-plane'ish, extra-dimensional ... but is it actually "un-death"-ish?
and is blinding-heal really an radiant-spell? and causes it "radiant-DAMAGE", what the Wither is weak against?
(I think I have to rewatch that episode when Greg got it. must be in the fight after the underground, the week off before the beanstalk climbing - or was it after the warehouse? or am I'm mistaken...?🤔)
It would be super cool if Bodger had another younger brother who showed up and looked up to Bodger. The giant barbarian subclass would be perfect for him.
Bodger hitting enemies at LEAST twice, every round, for almost the whole campaign - 😃
Bodger when an enemy gets to hit HIM twice - WHAT?! 🤬
Nice surprise that Rowan had that cretive idea.Usualy its Adam or Ben
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Take heart, Ben. We who roll terribly do so to gather the bad luck around us so others at the table can roll well. It's not a glamorous role (roll), but a necessary one. Wear it with humility and grace. Unless you roll Nat 1 with advantage, then you start flippin tables.
Rob is so talented. There are so many things to remember and he is killing it!
All the people involved in this channel are amazing. Great content from people who really have a passion for what they do. I'm sure not everyday is paradise but damn they have to be close. Keep up the great work 😊. Now just have Rowan sitting at the table shirtless and it's a perfect episode 😂
Well ask him to do that. Should be an easy convince
' Highlander is much better' Rowan wins the day just for that
Speaking as a dragon, I can understand Baradun's bliss at summoning one of us.
now that was D&D. Great session. I was captured by every moment.
What if Rowan rolled a nat 1 on the check of throwing the hammer to Greg?
Rob: "The trajectory of your hammer throw looks pretty good. It's definitely approaching Greg with enough accuracy... when you think the hammer will perfectly land by Greg's feet, it flew a little bit more than you expected. Instead of casting Holy Weapon on it, Greg let out a howl of pain. Your hammer landed right onto his little toe with a corner of the hammerhead. Your throw was too accurate, it seems. Now roll the damage, this is a crit."
(in greenscreen performance)
Bodger: "I trust you, Greg. Give your power to my hammer! Hiyahhh!"
(Camera switches to Greg)
Greg: (nervously looking at the hammer as it approaches, posing like a baseball player trying to catch the ball hit by the batter)
(the hammer goes through the corner of the view)
(Camera switches back to Bodger)
Bodger: "Is it done, Greg?"
(pained cry of Greg from the distance)
Bodger: "Give me a 'yes' or a 'no,' not an 'AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!'"
(Camera switches to Greg again)
Greg: (rolling on the ground, holding his foot, crying) "WHAT THE F**K, BIDGER!? My toe! AAAAAAAGHHHHH!"
Correction; Greg readied Holy Weapon to be cast when the hammer is in range, which would occur slightly *before* it hits him.
@@sparkselm173 I remember that it requires touching. I don't know the rule book description for now, but at least this is an established lore in previous episodes. (And I imagine it would be a proper spell casting move, not touching with any random way.)
Nerds
@@RebelYell134 Seriously, what else do you expect from a *D&D channel* of a group whose slogan is *"nerds unite?"*

Thanks vldl!
😮😮
Bodger and Baradun always acting at the same initiative!
BODGERDUUUUUUNN!!!!!!
Amazing episode once again!! It was a little hard for me as a non-native-English-speaking Dutch girl to keep up with what was happening at about 21:50 🙈 Rowan and Alan talking over Ben and Robert talking was a challenge, had to rewatch it a couple times 🙈 the subtitles helped a lot though!!! Still, you guys are awesome and I was laughing out loud literally a couple times, so thanks for that!! 💞
Omg Rob literally reminds Greg of divine intervention and it just goes right out his ear
DID I SEE A LITTLE SNEAKY CAPTION? I think I did, a sneaky little caption in the public service announcement...
😂this is hilarious!!
great battle. you got to use the Fire Walls i painted
Heard that singing! "I never wanna hear yah say...." :) " I Want A Wisdom Save " lol
Each day I pray to the god of life to make Djeoph a real boy
