Lucius is definitely due some focus time. His only real character focus throughout the campaign was during gusthaven, and everything with his family. It feels like they have been running around solving everyone else’s problems and he’s just...been there. Yes he’s the captain, yes he’s very powerful, but as a character it feels like he’s stuck. Even just emotionally. He hasn’t found any closure, any understanding, yet he’s still grown and developed. I just want more for him. Here’s sending good energy for the future of our little elfy pretty boy.

Its just seems like every episode I watch, I'd think: 'This is the best episode ever'. And then, the next episode comes out and just blows my mind all over again. How do you guys even do this?! Just goes to show how awesome you all are, just simply amazing!
I really hope we get to see some more stuff with the messenger’s guild after this. Quill’s got his wing back, and technically just completed his final trial in extreme conditions. I wonder if he’ll want to find his family after this now, cause he mentioned long ago his family thought he was dead, and I think he didn’t want to go back to them given the condition he was in and his failure. Now he’s restored (with some scars), and completed the journey to the Valley of Storms
For anyone who is interested the scars from lightning are called "Lichtenberg scars" and while they look pretty cool they only last days before going away again. Also great include on Thor's belt! For anyone curious about that, Thor, in norse myth actually used a belt "Meginjord" and it was said to double his strength. Mark did his homework.
@@thefracturedbutwhole5475 well. That depends on your idea of a leader, and what society they would be leading. In ailas case, shed be leading essentially tribals who respect the strong. So yes, shed be a bully, but shed also be an effective leader
Rule of the strong. May not jive with a lot of modern ideals of leadership, but in a fantasy world and a culture that Mark has described as Viking elves who “if you have the strength to stand against you might just earn their respect” It fits well that Aila could become a leader. A wise shaman to advise her might be useful though
I know I'm reaaally late to the party, but I like how since Nova and Quill's relationship and conflict was all about trust ("Do you trust me now?" "..."), in this episode, when they circle back to it, Quill falls backward like he's doing a trust-fall, and Nova catches him through the wing!
Omg, watch this masterpiece in 2024, it gives me sooooo many emotions, just incredibly beautiful roleplayed and written, DM is amazing... Feels like therapy. Thank you❤
So....Marks world is just so...... the OG planescape vibes make me so happy. I love how much Mark brings from planescape...... then his own mixtures added on? A beautiful addition of flavor and so much more from his perfect noggin.....
I do love a number of the classic D&D tropes he's woven into his Aerois mythos here. Like Hadar and the Demon Prince Graz'zt. And that's before the nods to Star Trek for Kim and the Transformers references with Sentry. It's just a vibrant mix of many things that I also love.
Trott is such a great player and a lot of the time it's very subtle. "Are you ok?" "Everybody's fine" like Lucius that wasn't really an answer, please do think of yourself sometimes too ;__;
@@hrani I recall it as "They're all fine". Deflecting and avoiding speaking of himself at all. There is definently more to it and I'm looking forward to it. But I'm also worried about Lucius.
"that was the best damn episode" well fucking put. this is by far the best episode so far. i got chills so many times. the music and the narration and all the character development... so, so good. they have come so far both as players from season 1 and as characters from level 1.
SPOILERS: (TIMESTAMPS) This is for me but if anyone else wants to know here ya go pt 1 - break time 16:03 Sentry checks on Lucius and Quill 42:10 Lucius has behind-the-scenes anxiety attack 58:00 Kamara has a heart-to-heart with Lucius 1:03:52 Kim describes Quill's new wing. 1:06:19 Quill gets his new wing
The feels just don't stop coming... I already teared up at quill falling/flying through a tunnel when chasing that alien guy back during the space adventure and since then couldn't wait for him to get his new wing! Nova is amazing for doing this
SO MANY good scenes this episode! From the completion of the project to everything with entering the storm and Aiela! I can only hope the next challenges won’t be too bad and everyone makes it. Either way it’ll be a huge step for all of Aerois and the team!
when quill drop the ship and started to fly with his new wing i totally DID NOT start to cry like a efffing baby! you cried not me , nuuuuu sir! .... ....
Ive been working through yhis campaign for months now, was really worried when i hit the covid episodes, but these have been top tier. This and the previous episode especially, absolute bangers
One more comment to add to everyone's about the AMAZINGNESS of this episode !! From start to finish almost zero fluff in between different scenes of epicness for pretty much every PC !
Well everyone has their own preferences. Because I'm bingeing I really would rather have it the other way. Though I do regret skipping the times they decided to sing it themselves.
Get you a D&D stream who can do both. Earlier today I watched part 2 of Chaos Twins Baldur's Gate and laughed so hard my my face still hurts. Now I have actual goosebumps all over from listening to the flight sequence.
So many pay-off moments this episode! How am I bawling tears again?! What a story! The connections you're all making between the characters, the astonishing wider world, the heart-pounding, spine-tingling moments. I'm loving this folks, just so pleased I found your group and this amazing adventure.
spoils: damn, Mark really knows how to make me foam at the mouth with excitement. mythology references are one thing, but THOR?! also him referring to Aila as his “small, small cousin” is absolutely wonderful; what a sick episode
Thank you kindly everyone, for a touching, exciting and epic episode! I bawled when Quill flew and the sequence with the Storm Lord gave me goosebumps all over.
SPOILERS: so Odin and Loki died fighting Hadar? If so I grow increasingly curious as to how this group will defeat him if many many stronger deities fell doing so. Also does that mean all of the first divines were actual gods from our Mythology, Hel, Loki, Thor, Odin, Jormungandr, Vamana, Ravana, and so on but the next deities were one's that Mark created? Why does Thor not help them now? Has he actually transferred Universe and if so, how? So many questions this is so cool.
I think that Thor is supposed to be in some rendition of Valhalla. Siaska has been said to be the last of the true deities. She has also been given many gifts not unlike Wonder Woman (or a number of Zeus' other children).
YES A NEW EPISODE!!!!!! I am always telling my friends about you guys and I’m very close to converting my friends to your channel. Love you guys :3:3:3:3:3
Dammit, I love this series so much! Every episode is just absolutely amazing! This episode, like the last, now has one of my favorite scenes... Well, there were two from this episode actually. The Quill scene with Nova, and the Aila scene with the lightning. I won't say much more to avoid spoilers, but just they were so good. This episode, like all, was incredible, but damn, those two scenes are definitely in my top favorite moments for sure.
Interesting, so the way Sending works is that the message is immediately sent to the receiver and can be sent even if that person is on another plane of existance. Johann's probably dead/alive somehow, or evil? Who knows really.
Spoilers Rewatching and Aila's moment with Thor is still one of my favourite scenes of anything ever- this is one of the very best episodes of High Rollers.
I had to laugh when I got to the part where it was said about Howard whacking the elemental with a pan. Because I have a halfling Monk and her weapon is a cooking pan!! My DM has even given me a pan which gives me 2 x D6 damage due to an enchantment. I just thought it would be a funny Monk weapon and makes a great sound when a baddie is hit. Love you nerds
Quill is reminding of Captain Silver from Treasure Planet with the amount of parts he’s losing. I hope he gets proficient with guns so we can see merc ALL THE BROOKSTONES!
I know the salute started off as a silly looking gesture but honestly I like it a lot, now, and am sometimes tempted to do it when the characters do it!
Not gonna lie, for a hot sec while Mark was describing the statue's fallen wing I thought he was describing Quill's ACTUAL wing remnants washed up on the shore. I had such a visceral repungant reaction I can hardly describe it.
@@Spiceodog He's been around :) He was very happy to meet speaking tiangong when they came back from space a few episodes ago, and he came up towards the end of this ep too.
Yeah that kind of confused me when she said it's not much different. Her Charisma is average and her strength is at the soft-cap. I still don't entirely understand what values she was comparing with what there.
A whirlpool of wind currents. You mean a tornado? 😄 Those move pretty fast on their own. Would think they'd be able to either go around opposite direction of where it is going or wait in place (do everything they could to hold action) for a few rounds. Glad it sounds like maybe a F3. Probably wouldn't have made it if he had made it it any stronger.
OMG Fey'eth(Fai'eth? Fa'eth?) is the best persin Lucius could have accidentally married while drunk. Shes so sweet and caring. I really hope they decide to start theating their arrangement as an actual relationship after this. Plus I really just want to see some fanart of little Lucius Puppy-Babies.
Can we appreciate Trott's music and sound effects in this episode? It made an epic show the most epic show
I agree he's doing an amazing job
Does anyone know the name of the song playimg during the journey trough the storm? It was a banger.
@@BassBumbass this one? th-cam.com/video/HlecVKLhyTc/w-d-xo.html

Getting the skilled medic was the BEST decision they’ve made so far!
Imagine they got the cook.
Up Kamara for the mental health awareness talk 🖤 Probably hit home for a few people so. Thankyou for that
She'd probably doesn't want to lose someone due to mental illness again.

This episode is legendary. I always love Mark's ship mechanics, he somehow makes EVERYTHING feel super cinematic.
Man, I dunno how much prep Mark puts into those dream sequences but I had chills the whole time. Great storytelling!

58:00 Kamara has a heart-to-heart with Lucius
1:03:52 Kim describes Quill's new wing.
1:06:19 Quill gets his new wing
What a cinematic episode!!!! One of the best I have ever watched... loving the character arc of Quill and Aila. Keeps blowing my mind again and again.
The feels just don't stop coming... I already teared up at quill falling/flying through a tunnel when chasing that alien guy back during the space adventure and since then couldn't wait for him to get his new wing! Nova is amazing for doing this
Omg, you’ve done it again mark. The music with lightning sequence, of my god, lore drops, every time, it gets better
SO MANY good scenes this episode!
From the completion of the project to everything with entering the storm and Aiela! I can only hope the next challenges won’t be too bad and everyone makes it. Either way it’ll be a huge step for all of Aerois and the team!
when quill drop the ship and started to fly with his new wing i totally DID NOT start to cry like a efffing baby! you cried not me , nuuuuu sir! .... ....
People be cutting onions in here
I broke out in goosebumps.
We are all crying together. And it's nothing to be ashamed of. Strong people aren't afraid of there own tears.
Dang, these last two sessions have been even more spectacular than usual.
Easily the most awesome episode of the campaign so far. Epic level D&D.
The character development in this episode! And Quill gets his wing back right before returning to the Valley of Storms!
One of the best episodes yet!
Ive been working through yhis campaign for months now, was really worried when i hit the covid episodes, but these have been top tier. This and the previous episode especially, absolute bangers
Thor and Aila scene... I got goosebumps! That was amazing Mark

You guys put the time stamp back to include the intro cinematic many thank High Rollers 💜
Well everyone has their own preferences. Because I'm bingeing I really would rather have it the other way. Though I do regret skipping the times they decided to sing it themselves.

Wonderful episode xD
For Kim: yes, I very much appreciate Nova considering to snitch on Zarkiera to Starbane. I was thinking it as well LOL

damn, Mark really knows how to make me foam at the mouth with excitement. mythology references are one thing, but THOR?! also him referring to Aila as his “small, small cousin” is absolutely wonderful; what a sick episode
The flirtatious eyes of Mark at the beginning😄
is quill slowly becoming the terminator
Thumbs up👍
Cyber Quill, yeet!
He just keeps getting parts taken off and replaced
The
Quillminator
Thank you kindly everyone, for a touching, exciting and epic episode! I bawled when Quill flew and the sequence with the Storm Lord gave me goosebumps all over.
Why am I crying over a wing?
wish the moment with quills new wing could have been in person such a long time coming
Incredible episode!! Mark, everyone, you just keep blowing me away with your rp and storytelling choices. Much, much love ❤
You can't help but love mark!!! That thor line gave me chills!! What a badass
So now we definitely need new character art.

I believe There is a 5 percent chance it doesn’t work if their on another plane. If it’s the same plane then it just works.
It was Mark's way of making them paranoid and shift it along.
Comment spoken too soon. Should have waited to you had finished the video.
quill: "can i sacrifice my first born to hesper, if i intend to raise him as a hesper priest?"
mark: "i didn't know bird men were self replicating"

And here I am much later and this is me officially only halfway through lol

noooooooo, i got all caught up here. now i gotta wait a week with the rest of the scrubs
I love Trott and Lucius so much. Trott is so funny it’s insane 😂
Aila and Elora are now belt buddies :D
I like to think of it as a kind of hand-me-down/reincarnation. Elora's belt didn't survive the Lightfall campaign.
Not gonna lie, for a hot sec while Mark was describing the statue's fallen wing I thought he was describing Quill's ACTUAL wing remnants washed up on the shore. I had such a visceral repungant reaction I can hardly describe it.
I feel that. I thought the same thing but more in the vein of what? Wait, how? Before it came clear.
"Too angry to die" hhmm mabie that's the secret! XD
What ever happened to Helios
I think everyone has forgotten about him I was just thinking about him
He is around.
I feel like he would like to know about tiangong becoming intelligent
@@Spiceodog He's been around :) He was very happy to meet speaking tiangong when they came back from space a few episodes ago, and he came up towards the end of this ep too.
1:56:40 Aila suddenly turns into Capt. Dan, from gump
I was sad when mark didn't realize katie just made a strength check and not a Strength (Intimidation) Check for the extra +5 on her failed roll
Yeah that kind of confused me when she said it's not much different. Her Charisma is average and her strength is at the soft-cap.
I still don't entirely understand what values she was comparing with what there.
The emotions
VALHALLAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Exactly what I was thinking
amazing episode.
A whirlpool of wind currents. You mean a tornado? 😄
Those move pretty fast on their own. Would think they'd be able to either go around opposite direction of where it is going or wait in place (do everything they could to hold action) for a few rounds.
Glad it sounds like maybe a F3. Probably wouldn't have made it if he had made it it any stronger.
High Rollers: A Star Wars Story
I’m so happy
Man I’m almost caught up!
Intro dream sequence translation: Stop ignoring this plot hook!
Not really. It's more of a teaser for what's to come as they were in the process of finally following up with it. So I'm translating it as: GET HYPE!
Soooooooo cooooooool. Nice one to all esp Mark
And when you see that /bastard/ Hadar...
Show him the power that rests within you.
Show him the power...
Of *THOR.*
And the Air Elemental is brutally murdered after attending a family reunion. NOVA is now a serial killer!
I hope they go visit quills colony at some point.
Only just watched this episode but I fully cried when qill got his wing back. God I’m such a pussy for good story 🥲
Anyone know the track they used during the flight through the storm wall? The one with all the violins? I can't find it anywhere

Okay, I need to know where I can find that violin music during Aila’s lightning adventure.
th-cam.com/video/HlecVKLhyTc/w-d-xo.html
haha, I´m from NZ, and Kumara is our word for sweet potato. So everyones been calling badass wolf lady that for months now.
Does anybody know what music is in the storm scene, where first lightning strikes?
OMG Fey'eth(Fai'eth? Fa'eth?) is the best persin Lucius could have accidentally married while drunk. Shes so sweet and caring.
I really hope they decide to start theating their arrangement as an actual relationship after this.
