Arthur Aquefort is easily the best character Brennan has ever made. Such a fantastic deconstruction of what a high level wizard would actually be like in practicality.
Arthur Aguefort is a well known person in this world. He is extremely powerful and batshit crazy. The idea that ANYONE would choose "the way of pain" is so wild that they really deserve everything they got.
I love how this godlike display of magical power ends up being of absolutely no use to anyone. He just runs out of juice before he even gets close to the Elven capital and then has to figure out how to put the sun back.
+An Enemy Spy I assume maybe this is so it does not undermine the PC's achievements/agency? Maybe if the PCs had been in danger of failing more drastically Aguefort would've been there as a net to help them succeed. Or at least he'd blow up the sun and that'd be cool.
The best part is he never actually puts it back, he just goes back in time and stops himself and then *pretends* to have done all of it via illusions as a distraction.
I always thought of it as more of a huge distraction which meant the VAST majority of the elven army was busy with that meaning the PC's didn't have to fight the army and just fought the few people left in the castle.
I love that Aguefort didn't fail because the elves pushed him back. He failed because his spell backfired on him meaning he COULD have "just kinda one-shot a government" if he perfected the spell.
Also if the force of magic itself didn’t start tearing him apart because it didn’t want that to keep happening which yeah, I guess dragging the sun is a bad idea but c’mon magic, live a little.
The real problem is that he started too far away from his target. If he got right next to it and THEN busted out the "Turn giant and grab the sun" maneuver he could have one-shot it and then bounced before the rebound caught up to him.
Fun Fact: If this scene had taken place during combat on a standard 1:60 grid, the Arthur Aguefort mini would have to be *_seven and a half goddamn feet tall!_*
"someone just selected the way of pain?" afterwards you can tell he's so eager to set a precedent for the way of pain, as if it's never been done before, that he just fuckin floors it.
Arthur Aguefort is the perfect combo of a classic fantasy wizard, a murder hobo, and a realistic depiction of the effect that immortality and nigh unlimited power would have on the human psyche.
LOVE how ADAINE’s go-to guilt trip for trying to convince bad guys they are doing something wrong is always ‘I’m literally neurodivergent and a minor 😣
arguefort is like brennan saying “oh the most powerful wizard in the world is chaotic neutral? let me show you how that would ACTUALLY pan out.” bc when a lot of people say “chaotic” they just mean “unpredictable,” but arthur aguefort is truly C H A O T I C as in causes chaos in his wake near constantly
@@DeathnoteBB true, but they’re still different. Let’s use throwing a ball as an example. More people are predictable, because they’re either right or left handed, and they’ll throw the ball with that hand 100% of the time. People who are ambidextrous are unpredictable because they can throw the ball with either hand. Chaotic people craft a fucking cannon and shoot the ball out of it.

I feel you, Aguefort. Hauntingly, even. Made a Witch in A.I Dungeon and when I tried to topple a whole country alone with just my ghost familiar and broken necromancy powers, the A.I daid I started to bleed a lot from my rectum as It was too much Power for me body (said I needed to train more to be able to survive such a feat) and passed out after making a scene and a speech. Quite embarassing. Now I think I know what was fed into the A.I that resulted in this
My favorite part about this whole thing is the Adaines dad even after this still thinks Solas is below their people. Arthur literally committagain.1 v all against their entire country and would have won if he was trying to destroy their country.
I love how they were about to mock her for saying she's a student of the Aquefort Academy, and then suddenly Arthur messages them with a warning that he's fully willing to move heaven and earth over one student. Then, they call his bluff only to learn that it was no bluff and he is literally willing and able to move heaven and earth to get his student back.
...well, I can't speak for any other GMs, but one of my PCs ascended to demi-godhood by staging a massive orgy between dwarves and dragons, so... like this up there, but...
Arthur. Scenario 1: Arthur and Evan get annoyed at each other. Evan tries to hold back his rage, Arthur kills Evan. Evan tries to return to his friends, but in the midst of a long battle against the beings of hell, he runs out of motivation without Lou, K, and Sam to cheer him up. Scenario 2: Arthur and Evan get annoyed at each other. Arthur, underestimating Evan, lets him go first. Evan kills Arthur in one attack, torturing Arthur. However, Arthur's already cracked, so he travels to meet Bill in hell, buys some snuff powder and snorts it, forgets about the pain, heals himself, gets revived by his paramour, tracks down Evan and kills him. Scenario 2.5: Evan blocks Arthur's attack upon his return from hell and kills Arthur again. Scenario 2 repeats infinitely. Scenario 2.75: Evan gets sick of Arthur's shit and seals him away. Arthur laughs and shits in the corner until enough shit has built up to overload the capacity of the seal and breaks out after many years, uses Chronomancy to return to the moment he got sealed, scenario 2 and its sub-scenarios repeat until Evan dies.
Lol I just realized he went away from the tower cause Adine said the high elves of fallenhal but not just her father and the counsel of the oracle or what ever they are called

Him evacuating a river of blood was probably due to her web just eviscerating his insides. ...oh, wait... this is 4e. She was technically dead at the time. Well, no wonder he was able to pull all of that off.

So op
Jesus Christ why did you make it so quiet
This scene is incredible but given the time, Brennan's cough, and Ally's reference to his fever... did he have COVID?
Love the video, just a tiny bit of feedback I think the audio is messed up somehow, it's only playing from the left side in my headset. Tested with other videos and other audio sources with no issue.

horrible sound quality. way too quiet, even hooked up to a speaker at max volume
Can't hear a damn thing.
Surprised Mystra, herself, didn't show up to put a stop to Aquefort's spells. Just stomp his nuts into the ground. Him evacuating a river of blood was probably due to her web just eviscerating his insides.
...oh, wait... this is 4e. She was technically dead at the time. Well, no wonder he was able to pull all of that off.
Midnight, who's that? Certainly not Mystra. Ha ha.
Knocked out god and ran heaven for a bit.....but toppling a government, cant do. Arthur Aquefort:....there was just...so..much..beauracracy.
