Heroic Sacrifice - NPC D&D - Episode 182 

"shut up shut up shut up, for the love of god all of you shut up" I see Rob's inner monologue became a regular monologue for a second there

I just need to see how Greg cast Holy Weapon on Bodger’s ring-of-shit-yourself, so they could use spell Holy Shit

It's interesting to see that the virtual dice Bob is rolling are cursed too, not only his real ones.

Rob: "...otherwise you drop your Holy Weapon." Alan: "Oh, holy sh*t!" Rob: "No, Holy Weapon." Love this. Hmm, maybe with Gerg's Holy Weapon and Bodger's Ring of Sh*t Yourself, they can come up with a combo skill called "Holy Sh*t."

Dude that Holy Weapon - Djeoph flight carry - reckless crit combo involving THREE of the characters is so epic! Hero points across the board! Look at them working together!

I like to think that Bodger hit Greg on purpose, because he was pissed at him dropping concentration immediately xD

It pains me that Ben is actually becoming a good D&D player but still gets tortured by the dice

Ben would probably hit more and do more damage if he remembered his modifiers and remembered his cloak gives him advantage on stealth. Poor bloke is actively nerfing his already outrageous bad luck.

22:30 Wahhhh!!! Best moment in a VLDL video ever! Thanks so much for the shoutout, guys! I was so happy to see it put to good use! All the "You da man, Phil"'s made my week.

"I'll allow it." ...such golden words ❤

I love the idea of making a persuasion roll against the dm to get what you want. Such a fun way to play the game! Well done, Rob. You are a gracious god indeed.

I love how much Ben cracks up Rob. Ben is hilarious. One of my favorites was Rob - "What is your profession?" Ben - "Murderer?" with a hands up shrug.

Imagine if Bodger had become a vengeance paladin. "I swear by the light of Hephaestus... That this hammer is rightfully mine!" *SMITE!*

Ben knows the truth, the world is flat! If you put a desk on the ground and your flat clicker on top, the earth must be flat otherwise it'd be called a round clicker

I know sometimes rob has to pull "dad" to get them to move along but remember: They're like this because they're having fun. They're chatty and excitable and easily distracted when they're enjoying themselves. This is a testament to Rob making encounters and situations they can rant and bounce off of. In a wau way rob, you're too good for your own health. owo-b

Baradun in the ethereal plane: "All around me are familiar faces..."

Took me a while, but I figured who did the sacrifice. Rob's sanity. May it rest in piece.

Thank you phil for the counter

You guys scared the sh*t out of me! I was sure bob was gonna die for some reason because of the title!

Bob jumping into the lava will give Elfie a hero point.

Rob not making Greg roll for concentration after the hammer smack was a Gift. Yay for being "not an asshole" 😁😉

Bodger had me rolling. "Nat20! And im reckless! That means... what does that mean?" 😂

That closeup shot on the board and the minis is a huge win. They're absolutely gorgeous

Thank goodness Rowan and Alan just admitted that whenever Adam is doing his sorcerer stuff (which is always top notch sorted and well driven) they "zone out" ... because it goes so fast between Adam and Rob that I was never able to follow it. And I felt kinda like the overwhelmed student with it, gawking in awe at the clever one, who is on par with the teacher. But now I know it is just realy top speed they are doing, and we mere mortals can do nothing but "zone out", wait for it all to end, and be amazed at the results. 😅😄 Bob trying to push the envelop with Rob about his actions never fails to make me laugh: "how about I do both!" Well, if you never ask, you won't ever get a yes, right? 😉 The green screen moments that we saw the serious get to a little giggle from Alan, and later from Adam as well, had me in stitches. Blooper moment are the best! 🤩 So happy with this campaign, thank you all for the fun and creativity! 🥰

16:20 Rob is really trying for our Cursed boi 😂😂😂😂

23:41 That Smoking Volcano ❤

“Shut up shut up shut up! For the love of God shut up!” That had me 😂

words CAN hurt you in the eterial plane baradun

Ahahaha Greg breaking through concentration just remind me how awesome Baradun that one time where he just kept the spell from breaking even when he got hit by so many spells 😂 such contrasts but lore wise it makes sense cuz Baradun is a High Sorcerer and Greg is very new at spell casting ahahaha

Vldl flat clickers, available exclusively in fire, stone and cloud Giant sizes.

Can we just give some props to foley at 21:15... That hammer sounded brutal off Gregs skull.

That was such a Poop McDinglefart move, heroic.

That Baradun green screen with the sad music gave me the feels for a second. But only for a second :)

Choosing to stop the session mid-battle is indeed an interesting choice. Glad Rob held on to his hero tokens, it would be over too quick otherwise.

I can see at some point, Rob running out of nightmare visions to give Bob. Rob: 1 again????? You know what, you auto pass. I'm literally out of nightmare. You get visions of puppies! Now go away you freaking masochist! Edit: scratch that, his downfall probably started with the puppies video.

Aw you guys, so kind of you to wait to upload until I was home from the ballet - thanks for waiting for me! 😅❤

07:34 so Rob's DC is 20 or less? I hope Baradun & the dickheads noticed, that sounds important. 10:41 Ben I'm with you! I've definitely heard Rob say that Bodger only gets 2 attacks if he's throwing! Another great video everyone!

Ben needs to stop rolling low. It's been a minute since he dove inside an enemy and exploded them

10:33 that looked genuine 😅 everyone paused for a second there

In this episode of D&D watch Ben try and figure out what he’s going to do on his turn and then do nothing.

Finally, you guys get those flat clickers in stock… I have this coupon from the 70s for a free exchange

Bodger needs to learn the difference between throwing his hammer at someone or to someone Also, love how he yells brutal critical like a fcking anime character

Rob always has the coolest miniatures. That volcano with smoke! I really hope they're able to have a close up camera on the table eventually.

At 10:45 in the video, Ben remembers something Rob doesn't. Frenzy only gives you a third melee attack. Or Rob was just trying to be nice cause everyone's rolls were sucking so bad right at the start of this session.

The flat clicker is so huge

Did everyone forget that Greg has Lucky (for that Con Save)? Or did Greg get rid of Lucky when he respec'd?

"i ready 17 attacks". If Rob was improvising that he is brilliant

You're the man, Phil

Baradun also forgetting the extra damage his dragon does IMMEDIATELY after discovering last episode is so on par

Seems Alan forgot about his Lucky feat. Could of used that to turn his 2 into an better number to keep his holy weapon spell up XD

I dont need to even watch these before hitting the like button as i know every episode is a banger.

Adam's great at acting ngl 28:16

I’m not the Phil who sent in that counter, but it was nice being called the man!

The hilarious dice roll fails, the friendly fire, the epic critical hit... this ep is on FIRE 🔥

Poor Greg can’t seem to catch a break, but at least it makes for some funny green screens 😄

I wonder if Bob will ever remember the Clockwork Amulet he has, that let's him take ten on one attack per day.

The world is a rhombic dodecahedron!

Hey guys I just finished the episode of the podcast with Rob. I just feel like I need to say, you guys make my week every week! The energy you bring to the table each week, to the way Rob has everything so well planned out down to the "what if" scenarios. (Random side note about the world being a "video game" I always thought of the world as "another dimension" that's similar to how Reboot was set up. To hopefully put it simply, it is a "game like" world that's not an actual video game) Again I love what you guys do, and the podcast is giving me a whole new perspective on how hard you work to make us all smile ❤️

Thank you Ben for sharing Rob's favorite topic of conversation with us. So flat earth, noted

This episode is currently missing from the "Giant Mission" playlist. I love binging this series on play all, hoping 182 can sneak into the playlist.

15 minutes in and Bob and Greg have each readied an action…that’s it ahahha

The Baradun cut away was brilliant The best in a long time

Adam's last expression is priceless!

great to see the close up is back. fire giant looks awesome folks

persuasion against the DM! dc 16 result...... astonishing 15 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Worldbuilding changes can be attributed to patches and/or expansions in the computer game in which this world takes place,

My favorite line is when Alan sarcastically said "so damage is when you harm an enemy". Poor Bob

The 3d models have really improved combat all around. Not only do they look absolutely stunning, but I think the visual aid helps the guys come up with more creative ideas, too

Rowan smacking the table abruptly, followed by Robs deeply annoyed face that slowly shifted to a contemplative face of the terrible horrors awaiting Bodger was something to behold.

Greg getting nailed in the face with a hammer, BOB in the corner having freaky visions, bodger is exhausted, and baradun is surely sick of this entire situation 😂 the other giants are watching like, "These our our heros?" 😂😂😂😂

Aw hell, Ben learning the rules (even correcting Rob!). You can do it Ben -- there's tremendous power in just knowing how the rules work. Enough to partly counteract your dice. P.S. Bob's a high elf so he can use longbows and not just short; longbows are *ranged* weapons and all ranged weapons allow sneak attack.

21:25 Bro! You made me do the family-cackle!! I have not made that noise laughing in a very very long time 😂

I’m a new viewer that has caught up to all 182 D&D episodes over last 3mo 🎉I’ve never seen or played D&D and had a blast watching your videos 😊

"you need to make a dexterity check" *Knocks stuff over* "I obviously failed it" 😂😂😂 Didn't think Rob would have me laughing the most this episode. 😁

20:55 Task failed successfully.

So... Can Greg cast holy weapon on the 50/50 shit ring?

Summon draconic spirit I believe grants you resistance to one of the damage types of the type of dragon you pick.

Editor hitting us with that Minecraft cave stinger 15:25

I think it would be cool to have a special episode where we get a full hour of them DnDing… make it for a special occasion, or make up an occasion lol. I don’t watch these 2 hour DnD campaigns that other shows run but I would totally watch one from these guys

Another awesome episode. I love this campaign, the characters, and the 5 of you guys. You make my week.

Adam's face @ 4:10 🤣 CLASSIC BOB!

every time in a new session Rob forgets that this group is stiff chaotic :P

Appreciate the close up to the table, the models look epic!

Ouuu thanks for the camera on the miniatures

29:00 I like this 💀

31:20 - 31:28 You zone out on Adam's turn? What? That's the most interesting part!

Ben rolled a tainted 20 to use his charisma to convince the DM he could ready two actions. That's such a Ben thing to do and his best roll yet.😂

ay finally caught up, finished a 180 episodes in 10 days couldn't stop watching, first DnD series i watch but if they're all this good i will be watching more

I can't watch this for a few hours yet. But based on thumbnail im looking forward to the bat bob falls

Maybe Rob should talk with everyone and help them with their characters that way they can maximize the victory more often and maybe have a armor or something that improves the ability to roll for Bob if the Giant blacksmith survives

Really enjoyed the flat clicker ad this week boys nice work

Suspicious how Rob keeps stressing that the odds for having good visions and advantage are in Bob's favor when he knows just as well as we do that if that were to be true, the numbers for good visions would be 1-7 🤔🤨

Unrelated to this particular episode but bodgers “wallago” is spot on, I’m a shepherd and most of my dogs have the command, most farmers will use it as a “stop””come back””that’s enough” etc. for some reason it’s spelt “wayleggo” but everyone says it how Rowan is saying it

I feel so bad for Ben. He barely knows how to calculate damage because he hits so rarely. 182 episodes, Ben. I feel you friend. I can definitely relate. You do bring the clever commentary though. Love it!

Hmmm 🤔 Glad the DM god of this realm clarified fire damage is useless. Read it in another comment 2 episodes ago and had hopes it would only hit the wither half, but I didn't know and wanted them to experiment. Glad he mentioned this before anyone got the idea themselves. Thanks Rob🦖

reality hits: they’ve recently filmed UWU dragon in this session, and that’s 2 months before. So their sessions are actually 2 months ahead of the video release

Baradun forgot that his dragon gets 3 attacks + the breath at 6th level, but still, that turn was incredible.

"Does holy shit cause radiant damage?" - Greg, out here asking the real questions.

Adam honestly is the ideal PC to have at your table. Yes he metas, too much. But, he’s actively taking notes, he understands his character, understands the world building and the rules, he’s courteous when it comes to his relationship with the DM… Like I would kill for a table full of Adams. He seems to really enjoy all aspects of the game. He should guest DM his own side series or something one day. I’d watch that. Alan is similarly very easy to work with as well I feel.

if anyone else remember the early episodes it is kinda cannon now that Greg has a problem with concentrating i think it was episode 1 or 2
