After Zilla's and Kasimir's comments last week about Edvard's robot nonsense and such, before absolutely failing their gig, seeing Edvard and Barnaby pulling this off nearly flawlessly, makes both episodes even funnier in hindsight. Good job, a truely lovely crime!👏⚘
not to mention the fact that Edvard effortlessly constructed a massive bell, the very thing which Zilla & Kasimir decided was too much effort to obtain, opting instead to blow up a street criminal.
What makes it even better is they already were canon in Geth. Corazon believed he was smoking a Cuban cigar during their first night in Necropolis on Sea, and while I can't remember where right now, someone else referenced Ireland in another adventure.
Interesting how his lolrandom antics so often murder any seriousness during their D&D escapades but here his improvisation is of great help, he can even keep Andy in line.
Not a patch on him ruining Johnny's day in the all time classic Dob vs Liliana orbpocalypse where Dob not only didn't get gutted by knife cloud but also saved Egbert, didn't have to use Corazons death trap escape mechanism and sent Liliana up to kill the ice dragon and out to dessicate vocatus on the beach while the rest of the team watched. A one man wrecking crew, no wonder they just gave him and Nellie a channel of their own and said go make us the monies please.
[Sings] When an eel has a maw with a pharyngeal jaw, that's a Moray... When the jaws open wide and there's more jaws inside, that's a Moray! When it sulks in a reef and has two sets of teeth, that's a Moray, When an eel bites your thigh and you bleed out and die, that's a Moray!!!
"Your Uncle is apart of the illuminate!" Given Barnaby literally admitted to forming a secret society with Squiffy and some others in hoping it would catch on, it's probably no surprise this behavior runs in the family.
Zillah and Kasimir, totally flubbed it. But Edvard and Barnaby manage to not only gain no heat but bring the wanted level down, not get caught, and not get injured. Bloody hell
@@BlackMoonHowls In my head canon he did it because he is super posh and used to servants and expects everyone to show up just for him. Knock on the door? Must be someone who's here to serve Barneby 🤪
I'll say again that Barnaby has become my favorite BiTD character, if only because he seems to be so unlike Mike himself. Mike did a great job creating him.
@@dominateeye I went back to this bit and it's actually just a pond where the syrup is dumped... but for the sake of comic continuity with oxventure, let's go with a large body of water. lol.
One of the main things I love about Mike in this series is that he went from Eggbert, a Dragon Night with a heart of gold and love for explosives, to Barnaby, a rich aristocrat that cares nothing about anyone but himself and loves just having a good time (though Eggbert does love a good time).
@@HeinerGunnar I mean, the entire heist would not have been possible without Barnaby. He provided the ship and legal (ish) means to salvage the wreckage, as well as a helpful NPC.
@@HeinerGunnar Honestly, his attitude and demeanor as well as general way of being isn’t helpful, but he himself actually quite tends to be unusually helpful.
@@HeinerGunnar What ??? On every heist he has been in the heist was near carried by his sway and contacts except the one where he was the one being rescued. He, despite poppular oppinion at the start of the series, has not been a liability but a great asset to the team every single time. I feel like people are mistaking Barnaby for Eggbert and not giving him the credit he deserves
I think it says something about me that even though I caught myself just after, my first thought when Luke brought it up was “come on, like there are people who *don’t* know how an eighteenth century diving bell works”.
Luke: Astor puts his hand on your shoulder. Andy: Flashback, I put a paralytic on my shoulder. Luke: Astor looks at the slime on his gloved hand. Amazing improv one-ups-manship for both of them. Luke and Andy are my favorite Oxboxtra duo.
Amadeus is leading the gang by the nose. He wants out with the gang's opposites but needs plausable deniability. So he "destroys" the evidence then several times hint drops Edvard shouldn't go get it.
@@Amaritudine I suspect Astor knows very well that Edvard would never knowingly work on the same side of anything as him, so if he is trying to do the right thing, he has to make it look like he's working against them.
I mean, those two did tempt the luck gods last time. They simply had to be punished, and who better to receive the taken luck than a scientist who doesn’t believe in luck, and an absolute (yet surprisingly useful) careless fool (who may or may not be drunk at any given time)? It only makes sense.
I think Alistair is a genius manipulator. I think he purposely dumped the important documents into the river for Edvard to find and garenteed that he'd look for them with comments like "all my dirty secrets are down there now" and "they are impossible to get." Because he seems ridiculously friendly for someone hiding things and looks to be using Edward's known hatred of him to get his way.
Seriously. That conversation was either a trap, using Barnaby or Edvard as cover ("how could I blow up my own building, I was having coffee across the street with my two witnesses!"), or both.
From the Lumiere brand special recreational cough syrup to the wonderful submersible mechanical frogman dressed as a pirate and the load bearing skull and crossbones, this episode was quite the ride 😂👏🏼
I love that last week the gang's two most competent members had everything go pear-shaped, and this week the two most volatile members got endless sixes. 😂
Haven't seen the First Flight of the Sparrowhawk have you? :D Jokes aside, luck is a fickle thing and it is lovely to see how Barnaby, who everyone makes fun of all the time, once again proves himself a competent, clever heister.
to be fair, a lot of that came from a bad acquire asset role early on, and had the rules been followed barnaby should have been able to spend coin to get a better asset.
@@yamiyomizuki It's alright. And it's not the first time or the last they kinda sidestepped official rules. Barnaby should have had his 3 stress healed later on despite overindulging.
Y'know now that Jane brought up XP and having looked at how each would gain it, I just realized.... Barnaby would be absolutely rolling in XP! Almost all of his challenges are resolved through manipulation or deception.
Just catching up on the VOD. And the exange of -apart from the various misdeeds he's a stand up chad -apart of the various misdeeds, you say -yeah - *nods sternly* Had me laughiing for longer than I expected .
This series is so consistently fantastic, I can't say enough how delighted I am that we're getting more of it, and every new episode has been an absolute gem
i'm loving the roleplay in this episode, excellent work everyone Andy and Mike you are your characters so well, and Luke you would have been an excellent pirate/sea dog (man of the sea, i'm saying this in a positive light)
As with the main Oxventure series Mike's commitment to hilarious roleplay is such a highlight. There's no funnier way to follow up Luke's serious delivery of that reveal than "UNCLE MONTY :D"
Fantastic episode! To answer Luke's question, your alcohol tolerance is higher at higher pressures. That's why it's so easy to get drunk on a ski trip. Barnaby would probably be quite upset at how hard it would be to get drunk in that diving bell.
I like to think that Barnaby is actually incredibly skilled at like, most things, just because he's honestly pretty naturally talented and probably has a lot of random experience by nature of being boringly rich. He just never knows he's good at something until he finally gives in to the pressure of the situation and applies 'effort'
@@robstuart8474 By the description it’ll most likely be Edvard and Barnaby plus Ellen is a little unwell according to the community post explaining Dark Souls being next week instead all being well if both are up for it and there’s no tech issues
@@oxfanblink4115 These have been filmed ahead of time by quite a while if I recall. They filmed several before the first release, because they knew a busy time was coming up
what a great episode, loving both Mike's and Andy commitment to their respective characters. i feel like it was a trick to call this new Mechanical Man the Wonder Aquatic Mechanical Man because then it could be called WAMM for short. also cant believe how close we came to Barnaby keeping a coat this time.
This might be one of the best episodes yet. The story unfolded smoothly and tightly, and everyone was so quick-witted when adapting to changes on the fly. It was a nice change to have a heist that was almost entirely against environmental challenges, rather than human opponents. The change of scene was also a good chance to weave in some welcome new snippets of Geth lore. Looking forward to seeing how his episode's revelations play out. Was Astor secretly steering the gang toward the truth, or is his faction playing a deeper game?
I was really surprised to see Barnaby go for the choke. I thought for sure he'd be too busy worrying about his coat, leaving Edvard to fend for himself.
Poor Johnny and Jane couldn't roll to save themselves last week, now we have Mike and Andy rolling success after critical success. I wonder if this episode would have run to 3 hours if they hadn't rolled so well, or if they'd just have drowned / been imprisoned.
I like to think that Andy has a list of Old English insults readily available and categorized from "light" to "absolutely scathing" for whenever Astor's around :D
This episode has so many hilarious moments, but the best has to be the final exchange, mainly based on Mike and Andy's delivery: 'UNCLY MONTY! Uncle Monty's on here!' 'Your uncle is part of the... Illuminati!!'
Gotta commend Mike for his roleplaying - i can't see Edvard in Blades without seeing Andy or Corazon, but Barnaby is so distinct to Mike and Egbert and he plays him so well, i forget that Mike is normally quite chill and not posh
Does anyone else open this in their browser so they don't forget...then forget. Then have a heart attack when the music starts too loud in their headphones five hours later?
I'm so glad this series is back! I love watching you all play this game, your characters are brilliant and Luke does such a fantastic job as GM. Looking forward to next week's episode! 😁
Kasimir: We couldn't possibly source a giant bell
Edvard: So here I have this giant bell...
Also; Kasimir & Zillah *gets mostly 1s,3s,4s*

Everything about this episode is poetically mocking the last, and it is utterly amazing.
I've got to stop reading comments before watching the video lol
Absolutely love that Barnaby says "can you help me?" Instead of "can I help you?" 😂
"Ask yourself not what Barnaby can do for you, but what you can do for Barnaby!"
- Barnaby, probably
I want to know if Barnaby is based off of real events 😂
Barnaby is my absolutely favourite character in the series, he just, works.
He already knows the answer to "can I help you": no, of course I cannot. Even if I wanted to, which of course I do not.
@@nyysjan 🤔 did you just put the name "Barnaby" and the word "work" in the same sentence!? Blasphemy! 😝
"Ireland and Cuba are canon in Geth, that's Johnny's problem now"🤣🤣 I cant🤣🤣
What makes it even better is they already were canon in Geth. Corazon believed he was smoking a Cuban cigar during their first night in Necropolis on Sea, and while I can't remember where right now, someone else referenced Ireland in another adventure.
I love how obviously Andy has a list of victorian insults open in another tab
in my head, thats just how andy is. i feel like he'd never swear at anyone, simply fire off some absolutely scathing victorian insults
Man, i dont think Luke's improvisational skills are credited enough. watching him outsmart andy during the astor edvard interactions was funny af,
That bit of playful brinksmanship was brilliant. Luke is very talented.
Interesting how his lolrandom antics so often murder any seriousness during their D&D escapades but here his improvisation is of great help, he can even keep Andy in line.
Well, it wouldn't be much fun if such a highlighted rival was taken down so easily.
Not a patch on him ruining Johnny's day in the all time classic Dob vs Liliana orbpocalypse where Dob not only didn't get gutted by knife cloud but also saved Egbert, didn't have to use Corazons death trap escape mechanism and sent Liliana up to kill the ice dragon and out to dessicate vocatus on the beach while the rest of the team watched.

@@darklord884 Egbert is roleplayed excellently as he would be quite OP with a little more wisdom and less 'of course Egbert falls in the hole'
I’m calling it now. Edvard is going to choose ending the world over saving it if it means screwing over Astor.
If I were in his shoes? I sure would lol
And really, who wouldn’t..?
What is the point of saving a world with Amadeus Astor in it?
But he really seems like such a great guy?
@@BlackMoonHowls A great guy?? A GREAT GUY?!?! A great FRAUD, more like!! *Goes on an enraged monologue about hate for Astor*
Can we make it canon that Squiffy legitimately went to prison for offending basically everyone at the opera with his limerick?
Mike didn't get enough appreciation for his "I know a lot about losing coats" line.
If Edvard isn't passionlessly killed by a WMM while screaming "You can't do this! I am your creator! I made you!" there's no justice in this world.
I can absolutely see Andy being onboard for that.
Edvard is pretty much narratively immortal outside of this exact scenario
It's lucky that Barnaby didn't end up needing to swim underwater, got to remember it's canon that he doesn't know how to hold his breath 😆
"i wear his picture in a locket around my neck... as proof of my hatred for him" the ex-boyfriend vibes remain strong
Or the love/hate vibes. Anyway Mikes comment about how he could possibly get at lock of his hair was brilliant.

@@BlackMoonHowls In my head canon he did it because he is super posh and used to servants and expects everyone to show up just for him. Knock on the door? Must be someone who's here to serve Barneby 🤪
I think Barnaby always assumes people are there to help him because he's an elite in society and rich. He expects everyone to be ready to serve him.
@@dee... totally 😆👏🏼
Mike answering the door “How can you help me?” is sooo underrated.

I'll say again that Barnaby has become my favorite BiTD character, if only because he seems to be so unlike Mike himself. Mike did a great job creating him.
Only 20 minutes in, but Astor's reaction to hearing Barnaby's last name makes me think that his family is part of the conspiracy
And it turns out that's exactly what it was
New lake just dropped. First it was full of gold, now its coke-laced turbofish 🐟

Volusport is canonically a town in Geth in the far future (compared to the DnD campaign), maybe it's actually the *same* lake?

The episode in which we learn Edvard has read up on the daring adventures of one Corazón de Ballena
24:28 Luke pointing out that Edvard raises his eyebrows every time he lies is stunning. Edvard did it after the two previous lies.
I think it says something about me that even though I caught myself just after, my first thought when Luke brought it up was “come on, like there are people who *don’t* know how an eighteenth century diving bell works”.
I impressed by two things, Andy's vocabulary of varied insults, and Mike's ability to completely slip into the role of Barnaby Fortescue the III.
They're both so damn good at playing their characters.
Luke: Astor puts his hand on your shoulder.
Andy: Flashback, I put a paralytic on my shoulder.
Luke: Astor looks at the slime on his gloved hand.
Amazing improv one-ups-manship for both of them. Luke and Andy are my favorite Oxboxtra duo.
Amadeus is leading the gang by the nose. He wants out with the gang's opposites but needs plausable deniability. So he "destroys" the evidence then several times hint drops Edvard shouldn't go get it.
Yeah, it feels so much like a set-up.
I know it felt so weird that he kept mentioning it, that I was like why does he want this to happen this isn't a good thing.

Yeah Astor did seem a bit too chatty and willing to share that info with them.
Seriously. That conversation was either a trap, using Barnaby or Edvard as cover ("how could I blow up my own building, I was having coffee across the street with my two witnesses!"), or both.
There was definitely a moment there I felt Astor was inviting, encouraging Edvard to find what he sank, like he *wants* him to find it.
True, but what if he just wants Edvard to get eaten by eels down in the river?

i love Barnaby and Edvard episodes because its 40 minutes in and they still havent started the mission
i cant believe *this* is the heist that went off without a hitch
It looks like their luck is being paid back in full this chapter
Love Luke's telegraphing that the contents should absolutely not get wet.
Wonderful Mer-chanical Man
Love that Andi has started a lies of p in Geth
The first 20 minutes had me cracking up already with edvard being like an unruly child with astor lol
I hope Edvard turns Billy Bell into a steam punk cyborg pirate
Andy really polished his repartoir of old fashioned insults and derogatory descriptions.
So glad to see beloved character Billy Bell in this episode!
What an episode to reach in my playthrough, just after the Titan implosion.
Does anyone else open this in their browser so they don't forget...then forget. Then have a heart attack when the music starts too loud in their headphones five hours later?
I'm so glad this series is back! I love watching you all play this game, your characters are brilliant and Luke does such a fantastic job as GM. Looking forward to next week's episode! 😁
