Aerthrandir: "What, you not a fan of primary colours? Lilissen: "...I am not a fan of acid, to be honest." Okay I lol'd pretty hard at that part. The RP in this is so good. Keep it up guys!
Amitys little "Iih" at the thing in the water of the altar room just killed me. xD And Aerthrandir's comments about the "murder dungeon" were hilarious. Love you, guys!
You have some absolutely phenomenal players, and DragnaCarta is giving a great performance. Genuinely my new favorite actual play, though Im late to the party
@@susanollington5257 I said a ahead of time to him that it’s fairly deadly even in a group. To which he said bring it on.😂 He is not a new player and doesn’t mind meat grinder (high death count) games. Your player may differ I suggest a session 0 talking about this as well as the themes of the game. It’s pretty brutal and is scarier when there is no real distraction as there would be in a party with other people. It would be a more personal horror story, which can be super fun, but can be a bit overwhelming depending on the player. However there are advantages to being only one player you only have to worry about yourself, but I have a full DMPC (full character sheet) Cleric of Lathander following him around and he’s a bloodhunter. The game becomes more of a survival horror game with only himself and the DMPC and he’s run past the windmill because it freaked him out and ran with Ireena and the DMPC to Vallaki. Use this to your advantage, your player will be way more scared in a small party and will cling to NPCs as a result. The party will be more attached to NPCs, so make sure their personalities shine. He currently has hired the two wolf hunters to be in your party. Make running an option always with the random encounter fights. I’m using the milestones to not punish him for skipping fights, for completing quests/locations. Also because it’s one player please use their backstory in the campaign as it is much more important and the trinkets if you choose to use them as well.
2:09:15 Methrion was hidden under the table, therefore he should have had advantage on his attack roll - Rule "Unseen attackers and targets" page 195 and 196 PHB. This should have had canceled out the disadvantage of being prone therefore he could have sneak attacked the ghoul in my opinion. But correct me if I am wrong. Anyway nice work guys well played.
Loving the series! I put it on while I’m working on my prepwork for my own CoS game. I do wonder how everyone rolled up their characters (rolling, point buy, or array)
That 'he is ancient' chant is awesome. Did you create that yourselves, or can I find it somewhere? My terse browsing of the music attribution isn't finding it.
You all are doing an amazing job! :) Thank you for sharing this with the community... Question on the sound of stone shifting in the first level of the basement. I don't remember reading about that in the core adventure. Did I miss something or did you add that in?
Don't need to do a somatic component for healing word. It's verbal only. Healing WORD. You speak it and thus heal. Great episode though!! Just letting you know Aerthrandir :)
Using thieves' tools is something that RAW can't be done with mage hand unless you're an arcane trickster, which Lilissen clearly isn't. 2:01:19 Heroism is a touch range spell.
@@TheWorldBelowDnD I don't know for sure, but seeing as we now know he's a rogue, I'm assuming that "Metrion the Magnificent," and the posh British accent that went with it, are basically a façade/disguise/con he's putting on. Which has definitely cracked under pressure.
Assuming it was either Caoimhe or Aerthrandir taking hits, probably because ghoul paralysis doesn't affect elves. (If it was Amity, Lili, or Metrion, then I probably just forgot).
The reasoning may not be my business, but it became my business when you put yourself in my stead, and use our presence as an excuse to throw yourself in dangerous situation, fully prepare to die. It’s admirable and heroic, but I have no idea of what’s behind these actions, your motives or intentions. I don’t since anything malicious, but if you were using me as a reason to throw away your life and behave recklessly I’m going to inquire about it
Everyone is a coward, has deep psychological scarring or a mix of the two. Glad you went by the rules but the characters are almost unbearable to listen to.
They are a coward because they were specifically told to make characters that AREN'T heroes, that would act like a normal person who values their life instead of the typical adventuring heroes. I get that the characters are a lil hard to tolerate at times, but i think its just a preference thing. I'm not used to being in groups who drop major backstory hints or tales (like Keva losing her family) being dropped so early in a game. I'm much more used to very vague hints and not outright telling for months of irl time. But i can't fault the players if its how they felt the character would act, being so open about their issues. I've a pc that is very frank and honest with stuff, but it'd have to be asked, not something she'd say without prompting like Keva did.
Enjoying the series but man there is a lot of "I....... am.....saying ..... something .......... mundane........ with.... .... long........ dramatic........ ...... pauses ... between...... each...... ....... ..... word .... (sigh)....."
I'm enjoying the story. My irritation comes from them ignoring obvious clues, passing up investigations, questions that should be very obviously asked, perceptions that are screaming to be checked. I'm guessing that it's all deliberate to prevent the players from appearing like they are meta gaming and to make the adventure more interesting, but there's a balance between common sense any character should have and player meta gaming. Them being overly cautious is just as frustrating for me, personally.

Aerthrandir accidentally ruining his silent image spell by explaining out loud what the spell does is the funniest thing to happen in a dnd game
Aerthrandir: "What, you not a fan of primary colours?
Lilissen: "...I am not a fan of acid, to be honest."
Okay I lol'd pretty hard at that part.

Love you, guys!
Poor Caoimhe. Even healing comes ugly from Aerthrandir when it's addressed to her :D
The collective groan after “This is a death house” lmao
You have some absolutely phenomenal players, and DragnaCarta is giving a great performance. Genuinely my new favorite actual play, though Im late to the party
I picture aerthrandir as a slightly older version of King Joffrey with elf ears. I love this game. You guys are doing a great job.
Resurrecting ur comment bc I need to say Aethy is giving "Ned Flanders as a park ranger"
Didn't know elves were immune to ghoul claws. That's nifty!
I’m running a duet campaign for CoS: reloaded and this is awesome to see the game RAW. 😊
Awesome! Thanks for watching, and best of luck in your campaign! :)
I wanna do this soon, any tips for changes to make for duet play?

2:17:40 Nevermind you did notice it :) . Again well played both by players and DM. One of the best campaign I ve seen so far.

3:32:00 ah, the three genders Clergy, Wizardry, and Bathtime
That 'he is ancient' chant is awesome. Did you create that yourselves, or can I find it somewhere? My terse browsing of the music attribution isn't finding it.
Flutes Loot That was created by our very own producer! If you search for “Ziopliukas” you’ll find all the chanting tracks on his TH-cam channel.
Do they ever realize they can roll more than one hit die/short rest?? God I hope so lol
They can, but they couldn't have gotten the second extra d6 from song of rest without taking another short rest, which is why they took two.
You all are doing an amazing job! :) Thank you for sharing this with the community...
Question on the sound of stone shifting in the first level of the basement. I don't remember reading about that in the core adventure. Did I miss something or did you add that in?
I added it, via Marks of Horror (as described in the module introduction)! It was foreshadowing for the Dursts not being in their crypts ;)
2:37:31 pure gold.
Funniest line in the session
Don't need to do a somatic component for healing word. It's verbal only. Healing WORD. You speak it and thus heal. Great episode though!! Just letting you know Aerthrandir :)
Wooooh, let's go!
Using thieves' tools is something that RAW can't be done with mage hand unless you're an arcane trickster, which Lilissen clearly isn't.
2:01:19 Heroism is a touch range spell.
What's the point of arcane trickster if DMs give everyone mage hand legerdemain?
I may have missed something- but what's the deal with metrion's accent? Is that his sober voice?
sebastianwillows he’s possess by one of the durst children.
@@lewisfih nono- before that, his accent changed from his intro dialogue to this less formal one. In the first episode it's a different thing
@@TheWorldBelowDnD I don't know for sure, but seeing as we now know he's a rogue, I'm assuming that "Metrion the Magnificent," and the posh British accent that went with it, are basically a façade/disguise/con he's putting on. Which has definitely cracked under pressure.
Perception checks aren't really in these guys favour are they? So many low perception rolls so far.
Is there a reason they aren't rolling saves for the ghoul's paralyzing claws? Did I miss something?
Assuming it was either Caoimhe or Aerthrandir taking hits, probably because ghoul paralysis doesn't affect elves. (If it was Amity, Lili, or Metrion, then I probably just forgot).
@@christiansternagel8149 The ghoul statblock specifically says that elves aren't affected.
Will Dragna be running another CoS DnD session??

I really like that. It adds to the vibe.
They are likely doing that so they buy themselves time to improvise the rp. Playing the video at 1.25 speed helps.

Primarily from Aerthrandir. I can't stand the guy and kept wishing he would fall off the balcony into the murder mist last episode lol
