I saw this comment and was wondering what you were talking about. 1:32:20 I now know.
Monty does such a good job at playing the paladins - making them noble but also flawed. Love it!
Now I want a story about 10000 pigeons Larry.
Such masterful storytelling here. It’s akin to reading an epic volume of a enthralling series of high fantasy novels. I haven’t played in nearly 25 years and I badly want to get back into the throws and intrigue of D&D one again. In turn, I did end up creating a few characters on D&D Beyond and hopefully I will be able to find a game soon. Astute work by all 4 of you. It’s been a pleasure.
When they said they were doing it for Sebastian I thought for a second they were going to call themselves The Three Crowes. Its not too late.
For some reason Monty saying "noscope 360" dealt psychic damage to me. The sort of weird anachronistic crossover I never knew I wanted, but love immensely.
Received a mail this evening from my national courier that soon a package will be delivered to my house. Can't wait to finally get my hands on the Dungeons of Drakkenheim book.

Not gonna lie, Uriel Radley is the best name for a southern Paladin. Period.
A Rogue, A Fighter, and a Rogue/Ranger go to a diplomatic meeting woth Paladins. The solution, "Let's see who is the toughest amd best at fighting." This is almost the scene in Full Metal Alchemist where Lt. Armstrong meets Teacher's Husband. You guys are awesome

I’m dreading being caught up. This has been my favorite thing to listen to while at work.
Anyone thought that the High Paladin took the duel so he could just go into Drakenhiem in order to go after Lucrecia Mathias? My thought was that was potentially their main goal and everything else was a red herring that would be nice to get but effectively were things they were willing to give up.
@willmena96

Unless Lucretia actually goes after them, I don't think the paladins would do something like that. I feel like they do have a hunger for political power, but cheating in a duel isn't their thing.

@@willmena96 Would Lucretia not an impressive trophy? They also believe her to be heretical it would be a large leap in my opinion if they perceived her to be a monster. I do not believe there was a rule against going after members of the falling fire imposed at the start of the duel and I don't think that potentially throwing the duel in order to achieve a more important and not prohibited goal would be cheating. Though this is only one outcome and an opinion of an interesting possibility.

@@harrywhiteley89 I do think it could be an interesting outcome, I just don't feel they would do something like that. From my perspective, it's easier to just win the duel with another creature and then take both trophies home (Sebastian and Lucretia). I mean, everything could happen lol. Although the expected thing is to watch the characters make the tough decisions and hand her to the paladins while Sebastian see them do it. Maybe he'll be scared of being the next one since he had the same vision

He rolled with advantage so......... either the armor is breastplate or maybe something like mythril to remove the armor's disadvantage.

Just got my Dungeons of Drakkenheim book yesterday was kinda sad that we didn’t get Big Linda’s statblock/ art. Looking at the monster artwork I have to say I like The Lord of the Feast alot he looks so cool fell in love with his artwork the moment I laid eyes on it. Even the ratlings had cool art I’ll have to start reading the book at some point lol. The executioner was also a delight to see I could only imagine how the fight between The Executioner and The Lord of The Feast went down. That scene was so memorable I think I’ll have to rewatch the series again to relive the scene

I’ve spent the past few weeks listening to all of the series by either KZread or podcasts and I have finally caught up. What an emotional journey you lovely people have taken me on during my journeys to work or in the background whilst gaming. If I could make one request, when listening via podcasts in my car. I have my volume set when everyone is taking, but as soon as Kelly talks I have to turn it down. I don’t know if it’s because of your bassy voice or your mic is closer. I’m not sure if anything can be done but it’s only a small thing and I’m still happy to change volumes around. On KZread it’s fine haha. Otherwise, I can’t wait for you to get back from the con and vacation. Have a lovely time!
