Always how it goes in DnD 'Guys you have this objective, killing everything isn't part of that' Players: kill everything so it can't mess with our objective, got it
That one demon that constantly targeted xan reminded me of that one Wolfpack crew who constantly stalked Quill

Mark is so good at bringing in interesting combat mechanics. The Fate system and minion mechanics have been super fun to watch
God this episode felt like it was 30 minutes. THIS ARC IS SO RAD

This really felt like 30-ish minutes i love these People so much 🎉😊
Don't forget Vicious Mockery imposes disadvantage on the enemies next attack if they fail the save. Also Rowan rocks :)
Mark at the beginning of the episode "Killing the demons should not be your priority, the tower is your goal" The party: proceeds to spend all their turns attacking every single enemy on the battlefield 😂
Did I watch this as a part of the secret VOD? Yes I did, did I still click to view this video and like it? You’re god damn right I did.

never utter those forbidden words no one should know
I love battles like this, where there's a broader objective instead of it just being a slugfest. The turn limit just adds to the tension.
31:33 Oh I need to get a gif of Tom's face just lighting up in pure joy at Trott mentioning "Chaos Twinning" :D
This may be the most misnamed group in the D&D streaming universe. Mark is the only one who rolls high! 😆
Mark. This is the session where you live up to "High Roller" 😂
08:01 chris looks so deffeted as mark continues to explain whats happening🤣
FOR THE EMPRESS!!!! FOR THE ALGORITHM!!!!!
53 minutes in and worried. They are not concentrating their efforts on one goal, especially the Everlight. This is how Ophelia died earlier........

What an exceptional fight! The whole episode is just so satisfying to watch with all that action going on! Looking forward to the next one!💥
Clear skies!! I'm up to date!!!
I have been waiting for this to drop all day! Thank you HR for all the great car rides and hearty laughter.

Much, much, sh*t. 13:48 - You're heroes now act like it! 14:16 - Snipermcsnipess 14:26 - Demon commander Neros, and Balasgor (bigfaceguyinthesky??) 15:08 - Hello, my name is Gruffuth, and I'm from a little village called Tremorrow. 15:36 Rowan doesn't exist anymore. 15:54 - Daisy's coming in (We miss you Katie!) 16:18 - With us or against us? 16:24 - Demon buttholes 16:46 - Mechanics timeee 17:31 - Gotta go fast... 18:12 - 48 seconds, actually. I can't do anymore... this may be updated?
Making reference to Heroes in 2024? Noice.
hail the wagon empire
What an incredible map!! A++ Mark
When the DM gives advice to the players you know the fight is gonna be hard😅
ive never been so invested
Normally I listen to the podcast while driving to and from work. I had to come watch the video just to see this map!!
The worst enemy of high rollers is their poor memory. Rhi always forgets her new sword damage die and often forgets to add her Rage damage. Tom always forgets to add a d6 to his chaos bolt because he focuses too much on seeing if he activates the chain effect.
Would Daisy have thrown daggers with the crazy Zealot chick there I feel like there was a point made before where she wouldn't do that
knowing the context,that thumbnail is menacing
Although in their defense this is a difficult fight with a lot of moving parts. Still wish they were concentrating fire on no more than two targets
Excited to see this upcoming episode!
Mark is living up to the High Rollers namesake this time XD
such a good ep
but Rowan is a Goliath they can carry stuff as if a bigger size category
Moonbeam does damage on A turn not their turn. So will do damage on the cast and when it's their turn. More damage Kim! :) Chaos Bolt does 2d8+1d6 damage. So you can do more damage Tom! :) Just FYI.

I am unsure about the moonbeam ruling there. That might be a homebrew way of doing things.
@ericaheathrow7085

Moonbeam does damage to a creature when that creature enters the beam for the first time on a turn, or if it starts its turn there; it does nothing *at all* on the turn of the caster casting it, because neither of those conditions are met (it does not deal damage when the beam appears - some spells do, and they say so, moonbeam is not one of them; the beam appearing is not the same as a creature entering the beam). If you cast it over a creature, that creature will take damage when and only when it *starts its own turn there*, not before, unless some other circumstance permits the creature to move outside of its turn, *and* it uses that to move out and then back in (in which case it would satisfy 'entering the beam for the first time on a turn', even though it's not its turn). It's a very commonly misruled spell, because a lot of folks don't feel like it's right to cast a spell on an enemy's position and have it do nothing initially - what ultimately matters is that everyone at the table playing agrees on how they want the spell to work.

Similar thing with Vicious Mockery. It has a secondary effect that gives the target disadvantage on their next attack roll before the end of their next turn. Better in most situations than mind sliver imo
1:30:01 Gotta add "Ife Knife" to the list of Mark-isms :D
these are the situations where you just need a monk
TWINNED SPELL Related to earlier regarding the Sorcerer's Twinned Spell Metamagic which states: When you cast a spell that targets only one creature and doesn’t have a range of self... To be eligible, a spell must be incapable of targeting more than one creature at the spell’s current level.
God, I love Altheya Epispde 26: Faulty Towers!
1:13:00 hey xanthehs, what was that? 😀
Slipher draconic deamon
I hope Daisy will be back soon
I thought Trott's "Wagonborn" pun @1:52:32 was inspired.
Sports Jacket is back!
Poe would be proud!
Spoilers for the episode follow: - - - - - - Mark: "Defeating the enemies should probably not be your objective here" Also 8 turn time until, potentially, everything goes to shit. Party: Kills all the enemies but the boss with only 2 turns left on the timer. Well, next session is going to be an interesting one lol.
Still waiting for Keyva the Oracle magical cards to be used. Was that just nothing?? Rowan has a strength of 26. Daisy has an ability. When are you guys going to use the ability that Keyva gave
Is the table using a homebrew rule for Vicious Mockery and not allowing disadvantage to be enforced against a creature who fails their save?
I know that rules that are being used and all for the the followers but I feel like sirgriold as a champion of the realm what have a magical weapon like he's a big deal
The HEROES reference threw me. We’re so old.
lol I am probably one of the few Americans who got the Faulty Towers reference.

Love you guys but when does the the oracle gifts get to be used
The High Rollers crew needs to do more downtime activities and downtime this campaign! Also, I hope they do some faction mechanics like Mark did in Nights of Eveningstar.
Hic Sunt Dracones!
Is the party level 5? If so then the cantrips like v. mockery should be higher damage
The only bad thing about this episode is Kim not going into detail about her spider form. Because it might upset some people who have arachnophobia and I have it I didn't mind.
Does anyone know which minion mechanics mark uses?
What level are they currently
Come near the end of the campaign the enemy healer has to just go. Fuck you im casting Mass heal. Also mythic action perish song.
2:48:12 That fights for justice?

Katie is ill and as such is not playing in the game at the moment. She was ill last week and still is this week.
I’m here again to remind everyone that casting order doesn’t matter. Shillelagh is a bonus action, you cannot use your action to cast a spell that uses a spell slot and a bonus action to cast a spell on the same turn. Cantrips are still spells and therefore must still follow the rules of bonus action spell casting.

@@crouchingmarker that’s fine. But that isn’t the default. Mark is pretty close to RAW on spellcasting, and he enforces the rule in other situations.
