It has to be gratifying moment, as a storyteller, when you say "that's all we have time for" and people literally yell "NOOOOOOO!"
"My friend should not have shown you the sad mushroom place..."
These words are now and forever ingrained in my memory.
"Eat my shorts you're not my real dad!"
I'm dead
1:12:15 - Scene on the cart with K'thriss popping out of the back and Rosie saying, in earnest, "Oh, no-no, that's my nightmare hole, don't worry about that." Had me chuckling as I walked away into the kitchen to grab some dinner, fresh out of the oven. Ten minutes later I'm back with a warm plate in hand, still giggling.
Can't wait to hit that play button again.
Thank you, C Team peeps, for enjoying this gig as much as I do.
I liked how when Walnut couldn't take any realistic actions, Jerry created a situation for her to interact. I don't know if it was planned previously but I liked it.
yeah that was pretty good of him
"There's that 4 again." I lost my shit and failed to find it again. Shit's still missing.
"Eat my shorts, you're not my real dad!"
I love this.
49:10
Kate - "Few can." Haha
rekt. thats our grandma !!@!!##!$%$!
Wooow did not catch that earlier lmao
2:24:14 Jerry: "that is our game..."
Kate&Amy: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" so invested- loved it all
"My friend should not have shown you the sad mushroom place"
I got a little teary eyed when Donaar held baby Eggy. Good session, guys and gals.
1:14:38 Just rewatching these over the break and loving the line "My friend should not have shown you the sad mushroom place."
Kate is always a treat to watch when it comes to the emotional moments. She really gets affected and I love it.
Yeah for real. It was super touching when she teared up during Jerry's mushroom trip monologue.
Holy fug, I freaking love the drink sharing in the cart, with the bard, that joke was so damn underrated, I almost passed out laughing over it.
"I want to find the nearest man.."
".. by groping?"
...
Haha
Time IS the enemy
"You seem like a hungry person." OH SHIT WAITAMINUTE
K'Thriss does a lot of strange things but swapping the flasks was the funniest thing in this entire series. 1:12:15
Congratulations to Jerry Holkins for being the first on I have seen make the Inception joke with the correct sense of the word. You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar!
this is going to sound like a dig but it really isnt cuz literally all us kiwis live for is for a mildly famous foreign person to whisper "new zealand" on the medias
These cliffhangers are gonna give me a heart attack, so gooooood!!
rosie's dark marble sounds dirty and i like it
Green Walnut initiative mark should have white contrast to make it look better, like the enemy initiative marks
Completely concur. Or if it's an option, lime green on the dark green would look pretty sweet. But those were a gift so from a fan so it's kind of rude to complain.
This was a great episode. Can't wait for next week's fight in family court.
This week on Jeremy kyle...
I love when blitz gets some spotlight
"we'll talk about this when we're standing in front of the princess."
You know that sums up so many d and d games so well
Thanks for a good smile on my birthday you guys are great
"I have very selective taste in music" ... Gotta love Walnut :)
I was actually waiting for her to confide in someone -- probably K'thriss, maybe Rosie as well -- that her magic is compromised. Even as self-sufficient and private as she is, I'd imagine this would be something she'd share because it could potentially risk the lives of her friends as well as it being something she'd want to focus on correcting.
I wonder if this would also affect her wild shape in some disturbing way, though she managed spider form alright last game.
[1:10:00] "Never follow a Bard to a second location..."
The fight at the start had me lagit mad at Jerry because I so wanted donnar to win this.
HTMR4445 1 welcome to the world where GMs have rails that need to be met. As much as I dislike it, I recognize he has a storyline to follow so he can keep the show going, but yeah. Was bitter about it like everyone else at the restrictive nature of a "no" that shouldn't have happened.
Miguel Nieves
I know, I have DMed before so I get it. It was just a bitter pill to bite. Still it will make watching shimmerscale get beaten later all the sweeter.
Frustrated me as well. Surprise round is followed by initiative order so the bottle was not his action and he totally should have been able to use draconic entitlement.
Enlightened Squirrel it wasn't the bottle that was the issue, he used an attack action to grapple shimmerscale and it's also an action to use draconic entitlement.
Jerry was very cleverly dropping hints that they would not win, as a good DM does.
People all too quickly get the idea all encounters need to go their way... well they don't, some DMs will make that clear with party wipes and others are a little more civilized.
6:14 Ryan is trying to start some shit
11:36 Donaar don't play
17:46 Everyone is Nope-ing out of the bar fight
19:26 Encouraging calm, VERY POORLY
24:18 Wrong wink
27:51 Seven Minutes In The Darkness Spell
33:00 Spice Carraway
36:50 K'thriss feels very unreasonable today
45:00 Draconic Entitlement onstage 45:19 Biting K'thriss' style
46:04 Standing in his truth
47:07 Selective taste
48:20 No fastball special without consent
49:10 Few can
49:31 More Spice Carraway moments
50:54 Perception check trolling
59:38 Rosie's turns are the end of K'thriss'
1:03:13 Walnut shoots Spice down hard
1:08:27 Wait, is Spice hitting on Donaar now?
1:11:20 You've been Baconated
1:12:18 Nightmare Hole
1:12:51 K'thriss and Spice swap flasks 1:13:21 Zagernezzer flailing
1:15:02 The Sad Mushroom Place
1:26:26 Reluctantly ensconced
1:27:48 Creaminess
1:36:10 The wrong treant
1:37:58 Documancy montage
1:44:01 Donaar sleeping through everything: on brand.
1:47:46 Rosie only does it if there's a dragonborn in the room
1:49:09 Predator has become the prey
2:05:25 Level 2 Cartographer perks
2:17:48 Chronaar
"Doc U MENT!" This whole bit is amazing. Wow.
does the intro animation change a little bit now and then, i swear is does but im not sure
"I would have more of his cream!"
Draconic entitlement is the weakest fucking ult and he doesn't even let him use it but the enemy can break a grapple and preform a grapple and attack
Holy hell, that first K'thriss turn.
I laughed for a solid 10 minutes at Spice Caraway's reaction to the mushroom beer. "Y'know tha-- BAAAAH!"
Spice Caraway: Chekhov's bard. :)
I love the idea of Donaar (1:51:24) basically being...a typical video game protagonist.
C-team madness to come
this was the funniest episode so far.
Spice Carraway = Carrington Sway?
eggy will be the next ceo of aquisitions incorporated.
Ryan / Donaar is the greatest Dragonborn. Ever.
Goddamnit jerry I need more of this right now!!
Donaar has just wanted to kick this guys's ass for like the last hour and a half! Jeex rage block
howdy folks. thx for the show.
TEAM EGGY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im getting a vibe that spice is rotting hence the obsessive perfuming
Lol he could be Jim trying to get a second stab in at Walnut!
Same. Also, if he's died before he could potentially be one of The Six, since he was clearly aware of AI, and while diplomatic about it, doesn't seem to have a high opinion. Of course that's pretty circumstantial evidence. I just feel like we're due to hear from them again.
Niffoni what was the name of the Dran enterprises employee they let die at the horn enclave?
Carrington. That's actually not a completely crazy idea. Carrington's whole deal was that he was a lush who worked for Dran Enterprises. Spice insinuated that DE were the people who clean up after AcqInc's mess. AcqInc promised to take Carrington with them when they left, but things went pear-shaped, and they ended up leaving him for dead. Again, all completely circumstantial, but he would fit in perfectly with the Six.
Niffoni I feel like he will be 1 of the 6 at least
They’s surely going to track me down, I’m the #1 menace for miles around
With the littering, the loitering, the mattress tags, all the piratated mp3s I grabs
All the cable I stole, certain bathroom wall I wrote on, I’m so cruel & cold, you put a coat on
Even cheat on my tax! From this life of crime there could be no turning back!
Man... what does Jerry have against Ryan here?
Just thinking... If Donar accidentally tripple critted the Prince and killed him... Could derail the campaign somewhat? Or he'd have to fudge the whole thing and make it out like the Prince has like 300 hit points or something irrational like that? Don't like to railroad the players, but sometimes it's not supposed to go one way and the DM tries to block it like a derraged goallie in a "dark" hockey game.
I thought of that as well. I feel like Jerry is a better story teller than that, though. Like, if that is a concern, why paint yourself into that corner? On the plus side, Draconic Entitlement finally did something.
Killing a prince in his own city, there is plainly no story line where that goes anywhere but party wipe...
@@MsSomeonenew You have a limited imagination then. xD
Spice Carroway was fine! #chillout
47:31 sneaky Stefón reference
Shima scales’ shima dome
How does Rosie have the ability to hold group telepathic conversations? K'thriss is the only one with that ability. DM should've checked that.
lmao... the level of DnD here.
this is honestly joy.
we are joy.
oh that was great, more of this
good egg arc.
Spicenut. You're welcome.
Is this now gonna turn into a 90's sitcom about a girl being raised by three dads? Well, not exactly three dads, but close, right?
There were two movies, Three Men and a Baby (1987) and Three Men and a Little Lady (1990) featuring Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg, and Ted Danson, that had a something like this.
roughly around 39:00 when he cast fairy fire and they were in complete darkness would they not have to make the save with disadvantage?
Nikoli WhatzItToYa No, but fairy fire would have done nothing.
ya i looked into it later that day it would if it was cast at a higher level but id say its a perception check to see if you hear it being cast then if you do its disadvantage if not auto fail
Man... anyone else notice that so many of these famous stream games focus an abnormal amount on avoiding combat? Not knocking it- I've just never been in a game like that...
It is so much fun to roleplay yourself out of a combat encounter. You should try it.
Yeah, avoiding unnecessary combat is not at all uncommon to my main group. Unless there's a good reason for it, or the DM is a push over, typically not wise to pick fights in well-armed towns/cities. That's the sort of thing new players are more likely to do, just to test the world and flex their combat muscles before things go to hell for them...
Kate is of the opinion that role playing makes for better content. The group is playing for the audience, which warps it from a home game a little.
I don't think combat is super the point of D&D anyway, it's about telling a good story with friends as I see it. One might play Dark Souls instead if one was looking primarily for a combat experience in a game. :3
I think there are two types of games. Some have players who don't care for combat (like this one) and others have players that greatly enjoy combat (Acquisitions Incorporated Original). Most either have combat every session, or once a month.
Which ones do you watch?
I'm so sad I caught up!
A bard named Spice..Critical Role easter egg?? Love it
craig cennami IIRC, there was a poll a couple episodes where the chat decided the name.
I gotta catch up but if i can still vote I say sorcerer for eggy please :)
Heh....And Walnut thinks WTH is a "squid pro crow"?
Legatè scarf merch plz
I... I would honestly buy this.
same tho
Daw poor Donaar, still lvl 1
Man is it always uncomfortable for a DM to have to deny the player or what? I had this same thing happen to me not too long ago, had a player get mad at me cuz I wouldn't use grouping instead of weapons feats. Personally I don't dislike grouping, except if you get rid of class known weapons then your screwing that one guy who wants to make himself an all around weapons guy. Then there is the exoctic weapons master prestige class in the complete warrior, grouping would make that class moot wouldn't it? Anyway it can become uncomfortable to have a player argue.
Ding 2!
I don't understand why Donaar has two actions, he uses one, and looses them both
He has two attacks, not two actions. In D&D, those are distinctly different things. For Donaar, his two attacks count as one action while Draconic Entitlement is by itself an action.
@@mistspren Thank you..
Yay! Rosie absolutely deserved to ascend to cartographer level 2.
Am I the only one thinking that this barfight was just the worst "comba"t ever?
1) "I cast Darkness" What? You don´t cast Darkness without having a good talk about it with all your team mates. In this situation it made it basicly impossible for anybody to do anything.
2) Feary Fire. Oh wow, now the enemies have advantage on attacks against Donaar and he still can´t see anything.
3) "Two move actions would´t be fair." (44:39) One can split their movement. And getting across a table won´t use 30ft. Also Rosie is a monk and has movement for days. Also also she just screwed her party member plan (again) with not moving out of there.
Hex is bonus action, and pick an ability to have Disadvantage for an ability check. So the Wis check for the Dissonant Whispers from K'thriss should have been Disadvantage, and 4d6 (3d6 DW+1d6 extra from Hex)
Mike Henderson ability checks and saving throws aren't the same thing. and hex works on attacks. spell attacks not saving throws.
Mike Henderson disonant whispers asks for a wis saving throw not a wis check. no disadvantage and no extra damage.
Pg 251 player's handbook, "Until the spell ends, you deal an extra 1d6 necrotic damage to the target whenever you hit it with an attack"...Dissonant Whisper (pg 234 ) is an attack...and K'thriss said he cast it at higher level, so 3d6 (+1d6 each slot level above first) + Hex 1d6
Mike Henderson dissonant whispers is not an attack because the spell doesnt have an attack roll. it has a saving throw. so it doesnt benefit from the extra damage. its a spell that does damage but that doesnt make it an attack.
Havok is correct. An attack is defined as anything that uses an attack roll. Spells that auto-hit, whether they allow for a save for half or no damage don't count (tho they've been ignoring that thru the campaign using magic missile from the cloak) Also, about the disadvantage being only on ability checks and not saving throws, or attacks. It can make escaping grapples slightly more difficult... but they get to choose between Str or Dex for that, so they can use whichever isn't affected by Hex.
Did Spiced Carroway's characteristics (black unkept hair and large, moth eaten hat) make a connection with Strix?
I withdraw my question. Table Talk has secretly answered the question.
If Ryan thinks Jerry is being mean to him, he should watch DCA and see how Chris Perkins treats Jarred Knabbenbower’s character Diath. Lol For him it works like this, Chris: ”You rolled a Nat 20 + 11 to find a trap. You don’t detect any traps....until one goes off and the room explodes. You don’t get a saving throw, and you can’t use uncanny dodge or evasion.” Jarrod: “Why? I have the Dungeon Delver Feat. What type of trap was it?” Chris: “A basic trap. You just failed the check.”
I am a only game fan, if no I will be run way to pro game-creater. I am confusion, for reason I have to auditory hallucination.
高橋二郎 google translate has not been your friend
Wat
I love this crew and show, but JUST FIGHT!
Jack Gardner not all games are battle centric. A good rp heavy game is very fun. Especially to watch. An hour of listening to die rolls isn't always great.
jmbeatty393939 i am fine with 3, 5, even 10 episodes without a fight, but when there's a fight... fight damn it. At this point a fight would be a good change of pace. And i believe they are strong enough roleplayers to make a fight interesting
That one guy who disliked this episode needs to be tarred and feathered! How anyone could not love this masterpiece is beyond me. Does he or she not understand adventure, tension, raw emotion??? My God... what more could that person want!?
I don't like what's happening around 20 minutes in. I don't like this situation. If I were Donnar I feel like I'd react more angry and open about what happened. I think I'd know immediately that they were talking about Eggie because what the 'Princess' said previously cut me like a knife. I didn't steal any child and she wouldn't even hear me out. The only reason we didn't go to blows that time was because; 1, the child was present; 2, they had very powerful and proficient guards; and 3, we weren't very strong ourselves yet. I mean, it's their characters but...yaknow. I waited 20 minutes before saying anything because I thought maybe Donnar was just getting a late start at explaining the shit but welp. And the party isn't helping either. Curious to see how they get out of it though.
Loremonger? Nah, Loreito. Extreme cheesy taste.
suspicion that all women in this universe much like our own are gay confirmed
Alexander Madwrite nah Rosie is omnisexual
I know. It kinda bothers me how all the lesbian erotica is treated with utmost respect and tastefulness, but any hetero stuff (Rosie and Welvar getting it on) or boy-on-boy action (K'thriss and Kiwi) is never regarded as meaningful or anything more than a joke. It's such a bullshit double-standard.
@@manpotion yeah it's more than a bit annoying. I hope they realize the man hating is rude. Yeah I get it yay lesbians but men do exist and some of us are asses
what a acceleration darkness condition?
I’m a fan of the show but Kris needs to LEARN Warlock. And how casting works. And how Hex works.
He’s funny. I love the guy. But fuck, dude. Read the goddamn book. This is episode # what now?
Mike Gould you are 100% right. one of the things i’ve wanted to do is make a character sheet that doesn’t require me to look in 3 places - that’s not the sheet’s fault, it’s me never learning that that’s what happens with me every single time. THIS WEEK WILL BE DIFFERENT
I think it fits the character and everything he’s been through. K’thriss “forgot” his past and questions what a warlock is and where these powers originate.
Mike Gould your fun is wrong
I like the idea that every time you remember some extra damage roll it's actually K'thriss struggling out another detail from the dim memories of his patron, and adding it as an after thought. A feathering after-touch.
So anyone he attacks has a few ticks of extra damage over a few seconds as the little twists resolve. Little Ur-gifts, a nagging itch in the center of their back.
K’thriss: “Oops... forgot I have another little Ur mouth to feed; here take a little more hurtin’.”
Still bitter cos ppl called them on their metagaming? Oh well...
What does it say about diversity of thought on the C Team when the person farthest to the right is a lesbian environmentalist?
Aaaaaaand why's that matter?
I don't know. Why did the chicken cross the road?
cerickNY idk, why did the chicken cross the road?
Because he saw you on the other side and wanted to explain to you the rhetorical nature of jokes. He was so focused on getting to you before you walked away that he never saw the bus. He leaves behind 17 chicks and one very distraught widow. His coworkers, the Priest, Rabbi, and Imam who are always walking into bars together, have set up a GoFundMe page to try to get those kids through college and put seed on the ground.
Knock knock.
"Who's there?"
*Who's* there? It's a pair of prescription glasses glued to a set of rearview mirrors, because hindsight is 20/20.
I dig it, that was funny.
Battleborn sucks.
These guys inspire me to become a better creator/vlogger on a daily basis, I have a ton of respect for each and every one of them. Would love to get some feedback on my vlogs from any of you to see how I can improve... Who's up? ;)
