"I'd like to add a little more insult to injury..."
Proceeds to eviscerate her target with what amounts to a magic chainsaw wrapped around its body.
Used the spell wrong but ok
@@springtrapnibba how so?
@@2GoatsInATrenchCoat it activates only once per turn. Do keep in mind that that doesn't mean once per round. This means If you have 5 allies who bat your victim on each of their turns you deal a total of 10d6 off of it. But them moving 60 feet on their turn provokes only 2d6, any movement after is safe because you've already taken the damage this turn.
It's actually less effective on falls than you might think. Players in d&d fall FAST: according to Xanathars 500 feet per round(83 feet per second) meaning you're not getting much damage from the thorns. Grasping arrow works better when your opponent uses feather fall, but it still isn't great(feather fall reduces fall speed to 60 feet per round or 10/s). it can help you eek in some extra punishment: while your opponent avoids 20d6 of slamming into the ground you can get 6d6 in from their involuntary movement which is more than you would have otherwise.
It's not exceptional by any means, but it can make for some really cool moments.
@@expertoflizardcorrugation3967 Oh, I didn't see the full ep so I thought Hippo Crate meant that something in this clip was wrong. Like, I thought they were saying that the spell could not have been used in this context at all. Are you saying that they calculated the damage wrong in the full episode? Thanks for your response btw.
@@2GoatsInATrenchCoat I dont know the health of the harpy at the time, but it was just that the damage may have potentially been miscalculated
"The fall doesn't kill you, it's the sudden stop at the end, unless you've been targeted by damage over time or damage over distance in which case yes it is the fall that kills you"
Love this comment
That’s really funny and I hope it was an actual quote

I couldn't help but laugh when I read this 😂
I love tuning in every week to see Brennen be bullied by 6 women.
Sounds like some good humiliation porn

Ahahaha lol Jesus Truuuuuuue
The “Sir, can I action surge?” After the harpy lands radiates so much power ngl
RIGHT I love Aabria sm
This is part of why I enjoy watching DnD with different DMs. Most DMs I can think of would rule that the punishment damage would only count for intentional movement, but Brennan's primary goal is always to make his players feel as empowered as possible, and to have fun.
I mean rules as intended it is only for intentional movement, so it makes sense for that to be the standard for most DM's
I mean, if the player did 80d6 because something fell from 40ft up with this spell on it, I’d be massively deflated as a DM. It is all being brought about from a very specific interpretation of the wording that does not hold up on how the spell is supposed to work, which is why I wouldn’t allow it.
@@SmawCity yeah I can totally understand that, especially if this is meant to be a big boss type of character. It's the same issue with Nat 20's, at my tables Natural 20's usually make you succeed but its not a sure thing
@@Lordgrayson I'm pretty similar. I typically interpret natural 20s as best possible result, rather than absolute success. For instance, if a character rolls a nat 20 seducing Tiamat, it would make no sense canonically for her to immediately abandon her utter hatred for all inferior creatures and lay with a bard, but maybe the performance amused her so much that she'll spare them for entertainment. Malleable rules and varied gaming experiences are what's kept DnD around for 40+years
@@dylancarter9290 exactly, I once had a character who ended up getting the party in a really stupid fight against a group of guards for no reason (the rogue decided to pickpocket one as they ended this town that was essentially under martial law) they got fought over to the side of a cliff and through some pretty unlucky rolls 2 players had gone down(group of 4 level ones against 6 guards) the rogue decided he was gonna jump off the cliff and flap his arms as hard as possible, hoping he would roll a Nat 20 and be able to fly or have feather falling or some shit. I was a new DM so I let him roll the acrobatics after some debate, he rolled a nat 20. So I describe as he leaps over the side of the cliff and dies his best impression of Wile.E.Coyote before he fell the 60 feet down and took 3d6 damage(half damage cause of Nat 20 seemed fair) he went down and then died to death saves as even the guards couldn't get to him unlike the other 2 people who went down who they saved and brought in for a trial. It's still a story I tell new players at my table to let then know how I treat natural 20's in my games(my games are known to be pretty comical at times, I've had a literal God watch the party and heckle them like statler and Waldorf for a couple sessions after they killed one of his priests)
I don’t know the order they filmed the seasons in, either this is revenge for Evan Kelmp, or Evan Kelmp is revenge for this.
This would have been filmed after Misfits & Magic after COVID restrictions eased. They're still distanced here but they're allowed more people in the room.
The shows are almost always filmed in order of release so this was definitely after mismag
y e s
I think Calamity was revenge for this move
@@nikkiruthe6768 And poor Travis had to go through that, too.
Aabria just wants to watch the world burn.
By world I mean Brennan and by burn I mean make sad DM noises.
HHAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH we're all here for it
This is revenge for that 18 Fight from Kelmp
Possibly even revenge for choosing the name "Kelmp" in the first place.

@@EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
*"I want to add insult to injury."*
You mean add injury to injury.
The harpy queen just needs to gain enough levels in wizard or sorcerer to cast levitate before it died to each foot of movement that kills it
Each foot of movement is definitely not how that's designed. Every TURN they move away from you more than 1 foot, they get damaged. Not every foot
@@vanessaasman8047 I mean that was pretty obvious. Depending on how high up in the air the enemy is they'll take fall damage regardless, and are currently entangled, and it made for a better story.
@@vanessaasman8047 That's less fun though. Alternatively if we use your rules lawyering, how many seconds do you think it would take the harpy queen to hit the ground. A turn is 6 seconds right?
@@xero1134 According to Christopher Perkins (who works for Wotc), falling speed is approximately 500 feet per round. Idk how high up they are, but that would be the difference of 1000d6 of damage (PER ROUND) vs the actual rules of 2d6 every 500 feet in the air. Wildly different damage, to the point that throwing this spell on any falling creature with any challenge rating at all would get punctured to death by the time they go 6 seconds in the air.
@@vanessaasman8047 I don't know where this part became important, I more meant normal fall damage not applied from the spell/ability. (Like every 10 feet you fall is 1d6 damage or something like that)
love how brennan goes from "please go for it" to holding his face in despair in like 4 seconds
This comment made me laugh aloud in delight. God, what a fun campaign.
There is a combo precisely like this in Banner Saga. Bleed followed by Knockback. Even better, some opponents move further as a reaction to beeing pushed back.
Love using that combo
yeaaah man banner saga rocks.
Man I gotta finish Banner Saga
@@FlareDarkStormGem totally worth finishing
@@FlareDarkStormGem Getting halfway trough the 1st one should get you enough hype for the plot to finish the game entirely. And then from there, get enough hype to do the entire trilogy.
For me, it was all about Iver vs Bellower
Aabria is just the best
Her time on CR was so great!
Her style is so different than Matt's, but I love it. I signed up to Dropout to watch Misfits. But definitely sticking around for everything else.
This entire combat encounter broke Brennan, he just was not ready for geese and bramble arrows
AH! THEIR BEAKS ARE MAGIC! THEIR BEAKS ARE MAGIC!
Her pleased face 😁
her giddy clapping is simultaneously terrifying and adorable
@@PrismariLaura yes
@@PrismariLauralike a chaotic toddler who delights in breaking things lol.
"Sir, can I action surge?"
This is revenge for the emotional train wreck that Brennan, as Evan Kelmp, put Aabria through.
See when you hit the ground from real high up, really that isnt 'falling damage" as much as its impact damage, you hit something hard going incredibly fast.
this?
THIS is **falling** damage.
The fact that Aabria actually did the 👉👈😊 face HAHAHAHAHA
Brennan’s inflection of “you monster” describing the spell at the end 👏💀
See he could be a rule lawyer and say it only activates like twice but no he didn't and I appreciate that
because a Good Story is always its own reward
Nothing I love more than when an experienced DM plays to bully another experienced DM
This
Brennan looked so sad and was like "just kidding that's fucking awesome" at the drop of a hat
I think RAW, any damaging effect of this kind is only in effect when the creature chooses to move rather than when it is forced to move in this manner (shoving or pulling through an effect for example) but it’s still an awesome moment nevertheless to just roll with the brutal combo
It varies with each case. Spike Growth, for example, does damage regardless of whether the damage is forced movement or not.
@@normal6483 Specifically, I believe Grasping Arrow to be a case of the former as mentioned by OP, but I also agree with the rest of their statement. Given the feature's description and the general nature of how someone might do a lot of flailing while falling, it might not be the RAI, but it still makes sense to roll with it in this way for their adventure.
I seriously doubt it. Effects in 5e do exactly what they are written as doing. If a feature only triggers when they willingly move, such as Booming Blade, it says so in the description. The Grasping Arrow reads ‘the first time on each turn it moves 1 foot or more without teleporting.’ It’s worded much closer to the Spike Growth spell, which triggers the damage when they move regardless of if they were willing or not.
@@normal6483 Spike Growth with a Warlock EBing targets through it like a yo-yo...
According to Sage Advice, Grasping Arrow does do damage on forced movement
I love how Brennan will always try his best to let the players do what they want to do. He's a great DM
that's not adding insult to injury, that's adding injury to injury
Just Erica's reaction make me rotflmao!
the way it's worded makes me think the damage would only happen once in any given turn? "the first time on each turn"
Most DMs would say no to this, or say it wouldn't damage because it's not intentional movement, but forced movement because of, Y'know, *gravity.*
Brennan is CERTAINLY not most DMs and we all love him for it lmao
Poor brennen just looks devastated when she says grasping arrow 🤣
Ah yes, the gravity fed meat-grinder technique
This was payback for even ‘kelmp’
Aabria literally went: 👉🏻👈🏻
Little insult that deals a LOT of damage 🤣
the big brain moves on this ep were so good

18 fight.
About to comment this lol
Is it weird that I’m enjoying this so much and at the same time not understanding anything happening?!! 😂
I love the giddy clapping at getting around the rules
It's not even "getting around the rules," it's "bending the rules in your favor," which is even better.
Only the seven could make this happen love the way the girls tackled everything in this campaign!!!
Brennan narration is amazaing. Love this guy
"Here;s the thing-"
Aabria just accidentally invented Harpy sized garbage shredder that's powered by gravity.
God this was such a great moment. U love when brennan is befuddled by the crew.
Aabria using her evil DM powers for good
The time a ranger proves their worth
'I would like to add a lot more injury to injury.'
Insult to injury?
That is injury to injury
Aabria is one of the best tactical roleplayers out there.
God damn is this cast clever sometimes. This is probably tied with using reversed gravity and a chain to swing across the battlefield from EfTBK as my favorite move
The Seven AKA Brennan Repeatedly Gets His Shit Rocked
Oh damn dude, I gotta remember that one
"So is it taking it as it falls?"
🥺
👉👈
Once per 500 feet (max fall speed per turn)
god i love brenan for allowing this, easily one of the best DMs out there
I keep seeing these clips and I really need to sit down and watch the full series
What series is this
She really said 👉🏽👈🏽
Wow I've never even thought about that and is ABSOLUTELY something I should have thought of lol
Aabria is such a smart and fun player, but I was blown away by how she DM'd a Court of Fey and Flowers. One of the best!
aabria's 👉👈 makes it even better
*Technically,* Grasping arrow only does 2d6 *once per turn,* the first time it moves.
But that's still some vicious damage on a harpy plummeting to the ground.
Yeah, and falling isn't so much you moving as it's intense. If you're still while falling or not flailing I'd say it's not doing anything that would make the vines damage her.
@@rubber924 Yeah, true. As much as I agree with the whole "forced movement should trigger the on-move damage effect" argument, I think that thrashing against the vines is supposed to be the source of the damage. Then again, if your options are a) thrash against the vines, or b) fall & be splattered upon the mountainside, then yeah - maybe we can assume she's thrashing. So it kinda balances out, as long as you only apply the 2d6 once per round.
i dont think i personally would have given them the extra damage since the person falling wasn't actively pushing through vines to try and get away. HOWEVER they were probably struggling against them somewhat to try and regain their flying as they fell so i would probably let them take some extra damage just not the full amount that they would have moving per foot. i'd just add like 2d12 or something to make up for the extra struggle damage on the thorns.
Brennan is regretting Evan more and more every day
I find this pretty funny since in my very first campaign I tamed a harpy and turned her into a pet of sorts lol good times
And here we see why so many spells explicitly mention *voluntary* movement instead of just movement.
I imagine her character takes a bow afterwards too
What a show lmao
The fucking clap at the end
At least it's once a turn instead of like per distance amount traveled
That spell is a meat grinder on falling creatures omg
Aabria:👉👈
This reminds me of an RPG I listened to, where one player, whose character falls off a second story window, unnecessarily asks "do I land on broken glass shards?"
This is some ruthless shit right here
Ngl I feel bad for the harpy queen those thorns must hurt
"A little"
Dang, you just sent that harpy into a meat grinder with one druid spell! How very Not vegan of you, Bravo.
Now she's aware of the gravity of he situation. Good. 9.80
At first, I thought it was every time it moves a foot or more, but it's only taking the damage once per /turn/ that it moves a foot or more. Still devastating, but not as extreme as I thought.
sometimes it takes a DM to think of the most sinister application of a feature.
I'd like to state that the logic behind the damage over distance aspect of Grasping Thorns is that the thorns also grasp onto objects in your vicinity that you may pass, such as ground, other foliage, objects, etc. So with no solids in your immediate vicinity, you'd only really be in danger of taking damage upon the initial casting of the spell in this case, and maybe again upon landing.
Aabria 🤝🏼 Marisha
absolutely eviscerating their enemies with insane amounts of compounding damage.
Damage of grasping arrow only happens once each turn
I ALMOST SPIT MY WATER-
That's devilish and I love it

Brennan didn't get whomped, he's playing WITH the players, not against them.
Antiope is a badass!!!
That’s actually super sick

I played so much Towerfall while this season was airing lmao.
See it's little bits like this where you ignore the technical way the rules work in favour of story telling that make a great DM
OMG, I love this so much! 🤣🫶🏻
"punishing a creature who can't stop getting away from you"
That seems like a them problem
Ive really never fucked with dnd but they make it so fun to listen to
