I love Brennan unequivocally and unapologetically deciding that "Yes, and" does not exist in the Vulture Dimension. Just this once, NO, they're doing things HIS way 😆
I remember he said in the adventuring party before this episode that the vulture dimension does not exist on any line between good or evil, law or chaos. It solely is concerned with what is and isnt vulture
@@normak7041 Hahahahah, that's awesome. More dimensions should be this way
@@normak7041 The X-axis on the alignment chart is Lawful to Chaotic
The Y-Axis is Good to Evil
The Z-Axis is Vulture to Non-Vulture
the fact that there was SO much time spent trying to game the simultaneous riddle answer thing and got completely shut down on every scheme
I swear this is just Brennan's revenge campaign for all of the bad kids shenanigans over the years haha
@@ryanbontrager5700 this and Agent Clark absolutely makes me think that lmao. hes fighting back
Honestly I kind of love it. I love the shenanigans these players get up to, but sometimes it's also fun to have a scenario where it's like "Naw. The shenanigans won't save you." It helps that it was ultimately a big shenanigan on Brenan's part
Well.... yes and no. It gave them time to sort through their intrusive thoughts
Brennan really said, "I need a way to tell them "No" a bunch of times without making it unfun (for my own sanity)".
I'm impressed that he put up with the incessant begging, bartering, haggling and sheer refusal to take "no" for an answer from a couple players (and eventually the whole table) without just snapping on them.
@mattbriddell9246 It was hilarious the moment the people who voted for "simultaneously" for the lulz realized "Oh shit, those are some actually serious consequences. We are messed up and blew most of our spell slots on fighting sex-bots" and immediately started trying to haggle and backtrack when realizing Brennan wasn't going to let them game the riddle.
@@bunnywaffles1190sexbots?
The DM’s plight
@@bunnywaffles1190 Poor Murph tried so hard to make them see reason lol
the best part where Gorgug asked the vulture if he was a god. absolutely broke me.
broke him too!
I'm a teacher, and the way Brennan has to keep repeating his instructions is very familiar to me
I'm not a teacher but it is still incredibly familiar 🤣
I was trying to figure out what i had felt that energy before and this illuminated it!
the hardest "no" Brennan as a DM ever dealt in D20 and i was not disappointed
My favorite part of this is the confidence Emily has in saying "A crisp $500 bill," something that is not used as currency in the world of Fantasy High, or in the real world either.
Except it is legal tender in the real world it's just discontinued so no new 500 dollar bills are being made. The ones that exist are still legal.
@@Harald20-00 did you have to push up your glasses while typing that? It's such a minuscule, meaningless difference between a bill being out of print vs. not legal tender.
Nope my eyes work fine so luckily don't need glasses@@TheGIJew.
@@TheGIJew.Um, actually you don't HAVE to put up your glasses while correcting people, it's just a stylish choice some people like to do.
@@Harald20-00 yeah but are $500 bills used in the real world? If your answer is yes, you're out of touch.
The most unconventional, simple and stressful riddle at the same time
You know brennan worked at a summer camp because of how he handles this
You can tell where Brennan was getting a little fed up- "Here's the thing. You keep offering other ways it's gonna work, and it's not gonna work any other way than the way I want it to."
LMAO me too Brennan. Me too
Every second, minute, hour, day of effort that Brennan and the team put into this bit was absolutely worth it
Brennan heard Aabria say ‘You don’t have to get ready if you stay ready’ while GM-ing ACoFaF and really took that to heart for this season
Aabria took that from Drag Race, and its a pretty popular saying now
@@lucky_bestwork
This person had NO IDEA
The Vulture King is such a wholesome character. The providing options for riddle answering. The leaning in for the kiss. The very sweet way Brennan says "You passed!" Not to mention the whole riddle just being like "Don't you think vultures are neat?" I love this maybe a god so much 🥲
Honorable mention to the joy in everyone's face when they say "Yay!"
Love how Ally was so adamant about one answerer and then seconds later voted for a simultaneous answer. Truly chaotic.
I had to do a double take, I was so confused about how they somehow had a majority for simultaneous
Much attention is rightfully being paid to how rigid the Vulture King/Brennan was about the rules of the riddle, allowing no shenanigans to derail the ultimate question, but remember that not only did the Intrepid Heroes vote to answer the riddle simultaneously, right before this clip starts the first question the Vulture King asks them is "Will you answer my riddle now or later?" All evidence points to him being a man (vulture?) of his word, which means it was fully within the players' capacity to have one person answer the riddle at a later time and they simply chose not to. Their fate was in their hands.
I'm haunted by this reply....
Every time Fig faces a decision, she always picks the most difficult one. And every time she realizes that the obviously difficult choice is, in fact, difficult, she’s always so surprised. Love that demongirl❤️
This is DND in it's most quintessential form.
DM has a baby puzzle for babies that the players try to drastically overcomplicate for literally no reason except because they can.
The buildup is so disproportionate to the punchline, it makes it really funny!
Brennan is getting his revenge
Oddly this felt like Game Changer revenge. Brennan's turn at being the Riddle Master lol. I also kinda picture the vulture kind being played by Sam.
I think I'm going to hear a little yay whenever I see a vulture from now on
This gives teaching a small group energy. Full on chaos.
If them trying to find a loophole and Brennan shutting it down was the whole episode I would have been fine with it.
Even after learning what the riddle was, I still think these goofs had a chance of dying
brennan pulling out the yes or no and coming full circle
One of the vultures is actually a roseate spoonbill
SIMULTANEOUSLY
AND UNANIMOUSLY
My favorite part is they have the battlemap for the vulture king and dimension ready because they could ABSOLUTELY fuck up the riddle if they didnt get out the chaos with that simulatenously choice
This is the kind of bit that me, as a DM, would have gone complete theater of the mind for. Not even a 2D map in Roll20 lol. The work they put into this is crazy and appreciated.
It was kind of necessary. Zac mentioned at the end of the episode before this one that he initially felt that Brennan had to bend the rules to save their battle - so showing that the Vulture Dimension existed all along and wasn't just a scramble to help them out was rewarding.
This is the highlight of Gorgug's day for sure 😂
Anything to get away from his parents sex robots
It could only go uphill from where it was!
Only Brennan and the bad kids could pull this off so well!
Simultaneously and unanimously.
All that lead up just for “vultures: yay or nay” 💀 Brennan is so done
Riz is so done with his friends 😂😂😂
"You guys're gonna say something weird and the vulture's gonna kill uuuus!" the pleading is real.
THIS WAS SUCH A FUN LITTLE SCENE IT MADE ME LAUGH SO MUCH
I love how Brennan’s attempt at messing with the team is naturally drawn out by the team and turns into messing with him.
God I love that Brennan knows when to not bend at all to player insistence 😆 Matt could really learn an important lesson here
It doesn't matter what the alignment says on the sheet. Every player is chaotic.
This clip gives me flashbacks to EVERY game I have ever run.
Emily's absolute glee at hearing the terms of her chaotic ass choice is delightful
3:48 "Y'all really don't get it, do you. I'm not putting up with your crap for once! Now, vultures! Yea or nay?"
Riz hesitated... someday they will receive their just punishment from the Vulture Dimension 😤
0:41 I can't tell whether that was Murph or Riz making that statement
The answer is yes
Riz Gukgak momentarily disappeared and the actual man Brian Murphy materialised into the Vulture Dimension
I thought the riddle was “will you elect one answer or will you all answer simultaneously”
And then just watch as everyone dives into chaos
"THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!"
Lou’s “oh so he’s into it?!” After Emily kissed the vulture though XDDD
Can you imaging if the party got a TPK solely because two members wanted to commit to a bit?
Beardsley the Betrayer voting for simultaneous killed me
Wennan Wee Wulligan strikes again
so unhinged from the first line... and i loved it all.
I went from GODDAMNIT!! to goddammit... over the course of 2 seconds. Fucking Chaos Germlins
All of that build-up to THAT RIDDLE oh my lord, that's amazing.
This is the most Brennan has ever railroaded as a DM 😂
Godz, that table can be so bratty at times. XD
The vulture king explaining rules is Brennan's Trump but way smarter.
"I'm in hell, right"
Vultures yay!
The DM trying to just do a really simple, funny little joke and the players thrashing against it with everything they have is the most relatable DM experience I've seen
The first test was a fake test, and you just passed the real test.
Love to see democracy at work
After Never After Brennan was just fully over all the convoluted Rumpelstiltsken bullshit, so this is all of his in-game riddles going forward.
Brennan could have created a dimension based on literally any animal they've ever interacted with, but you know he's gonna to choose a bird for his [Animal] Dimension.
The Vulture King ie basically the ultimate example of "The Party gets Distracted" from the first time a vulture shows up in season one. I felt like it was literally set up to just mess with the party's indecision and impulse control, caus boi did it do it.
00:40 Truly does the player speak for the character or the character speak for the player?
Yea!
nice vulture side quest.
love the vulture dimension!
Man, I sure hope no other long-running gags/plot threads get brought back this season.
need an animated of this so baddd i wanna see an artists take on this tomfoolery
That resolution was hilarious
This is so good
I had two instances of the video playing and I just thought there was an echo effect going on in the room as part of the puzzle/riddle, the lack of reaction to the echo made me realize it was not actually a part of it
there was SO MUCH negotiation hsgsgshshsgk
Am I the only one whose head exploded watching Brennan countdown on his fingers backwards? I've never seen someone count down starting with the pointer finger and ending with the ring finger instead of the other way around. I thought I was having a stroke!
this is the dumbest payoff ever. i love it. and i hate it
„It will mot go any other way than how i want it to“
Ally in a panic, "Kiss him!"
This is so chaostaculair
I hope you guys get an animated show.
The vulture king kinda sounds like Doofenshmirtz
If only they had all, without hesitation, simultaneously, answered "which one means yes?" Alas, I can but dream.
This is what teaching fifth graders is like
You dare to claim MY moniker?
2:04 Brennan's Trump impersonation shining through. Big, beautiful options!
"Would you smooch a ghost?"
Very Nice
Day 1 of commenting on every D20 short until they bring back Squeem.
SQUEEM!!!!
Lemongrab energy
YAY!
THIS WAS FIVE MINUTES?!??!?!
I know right? It felt like the week of wondering wtf the vulture dimension was made this moment feel like a 30 minute tension build up lmao
Why did Brennan go into his Trump impression as the Vulture Riddler??
What a build up.
Is the vulture king giving anyone else Donald Trump vibes?
So many people in the comments don’t know what railroading is
"the action of travelling or working on the railways."
