High Rollers: Aerois #25 | Into the Fire 

Damn they stealthed so well not even the viewers could see them.

16:23 Trott: *nonchalantly establishes that geckos exist in Aerois* Mark: *looks a little bit peeved*

I need baby Sentry riding a giant Echo and I need it now

Okay, personal head canon, deafened Sentry doesn't hear ringing, instead she hears a dial-up modem.

Nice That Lucius keeps trying to give positive feedback to Valla presumably because his father didn’t give him any

Tiny Sentry reminds me of Baby Groot. Shes little and adorable but horrifically violent. "I could take their eyes!" _Claws at the air like an angry weasel_

Really important to remember that Misty Step is a bonus action in situations like that

2:14:54 Tom: "So could I just use Gust towards the floor and propel myself?" Me: "Tom, that would be considered flying..."

Anyone imagining the party as a heist movie crew. Starts with an intro sequence like “The Italian Job”, Sentry (the muscle), then nova (booksmarts), Aila (demolitions expert), Lucius (the face), then the cam pans to quil standing as they all approach him (the brains). And Vala is the hot shot new person that they have in every heist movie

i love how the bell drop plan was so brilliantly executed. it was satisfying to see four enemies killed in one sweep

The Points of Reduce: 1) To weaken enemies. 2) To fit into small tunnels and the like. 3) To hide small party members(you can fit an average sized Goblin, Halfling, Gnome, or Kobold, as well as short Dwarves and Kenku, in a backpack when reduced.) 4) Shenanigans!!!

Poetic to know that if Quill didn't try and pep himself to dive like an aaracokra, he would've fallen

Imagine how cute it would be if quill drank the potion and we got baby bird quill

“I can try suggestion” Entire party and even Kim: uuuuuuuuuuh noooo?

if only one of them had the silence spell they could have stopped the bell being rung completely

gotta love the low level moment when you realise "hey if i pushed this guy off the ledge, he'll probably fall to his death". so much funnier when the rest of your foes so kindly stand on the Loony tunes "x"..... such a funny inflitration

I remember this old game I used to play, Robin Hood, the legend of Sherwood. There was this one mission where Robin had to infiltrate Leicester castle to speak to its good lord to aid them in their endeavours, but he couldn't kill any of his men. So what I did is I took all the Merry Men with non lethal weapons and/or KO abilities, ones that can tie people up and ones that can carry them. I literally went across the ENTIRE map, KOing everyone I layed my eyes on and after binding them carried them to the far corner of the map XD I could just imagine some peasant casually walking through the woods and just seeing this pile of a hundred or so men all tied up on the ground... Also, since I liked replaying the game a lot, I did that mission multiple times, and one time I forgot to tie up one of the guards I carried to "the pile". By the time I was in the castle and was about to speak to the lord, the music suddenly changed pase, and all of the horizontal, dark red pips on the map started getting upright and bright, indicating that thet're up again, and they just started swarming all the areas of the map, raising the alarm and looking for me. And I still needed to exit the castle after :P XD

when sentry panics it is the cutest thing ever :)

"you're such a good boy Thomas" had me dead

sneaking in that "smash that bell icon" in the game, respect

"We'll have an hour of stealth" Comedy gold...

Minor spoilers? I guess? Tried to keep it as vague as possible. They really need to learn to use the enviroment more. It seems to be more effective than any other spell in the book. They did afterall wipe 4 guys in one move by using the enviroment AND it allowed them to escape.

For all you saying misty step is a bonus action, true! BUT Mark said shortly before that nightfrost was in shadow form not cloak form so technically he would of needed to use his bonus action to change nightfrosts form and not of been able to misty step that turn anyway.. just wanted to spice it up a bit :)

lol, trot forgot misty step is a bonus action. not to worry i can just imagine lucious waving arms at them to no avail and forgetting how his magic works...

the best stealth mission I've ever seen. THAT'S how you sneakily infiltrate!!! :)

aI love how excited chat sounded to have the overlay back and the doubled celebration upon the fade in of the Aerois logo.

Been binge watching these. Can’t wait to catch up to live. Campaign videos really appeal to me because I love playing D&D but I never have an opportunity to play. These videos are a way to supplement that.

8:10 Binge-watcher's Start Assaulting guards in a bell tower, definitely don't bring Silence.

I'm honestly quite surprised that not a single one of them made a "saved by the bell" pun. It was sitting right there, on the floor, after a 70 foot drop.

Rhiannon is literally my entire life force

Slowly working my way through your guys adventures and loving every moment of it. Can’t wait to see how the story plays out.

WTB Mini Sentry plush.

the painting on the easle behind quill and aila is nice. reminds me of a day to remember homesick album

This is what happens when nobody is the rogue of the group and the party has to sneak in. That’s why the party has Valla who is a sorcerer but the closest thing to a rogue.

I was shocked that lightning lure landed, I feel like that spell never works lol

I know this is a past video and I was saving my comment for the newest episode not cjaght up yet but Sentrys tiny self and axe remind of the child murderer from asdf lol

I love this group but I’ve never seen so much struggle and be so indecisive to come up with a plan. Especially one that seemed instantly obvious with them just climbing over the wall. But it made me laugh especially baby sentry.

This is so class. Inches away from death ... great play ... it could have gone any which way ...

If Vallar (sorry if spelt incorrectly) takes the shrink potion she would be roughly 2.5".

Could quill get a magic wing? That could make him fly like it's all glowing and light and shit, just a thought

When the crew were discussing if Valla is coming or not I was internally shouting "No no no no no no!"

First time tuning into the RU-vid instead of the podcasts, the opening animation is AMAZING!!! I love it! :D

"When you make a long jump, you cover a number of feet up to your Strength score if you move at least 10 feet on foot immediately before the jump. When you make a standing long jump, you can leap only half that distance. Either way, each foot you clear on the jump costs a foot of movement."

Umm.... don't mean to be rude, but the north street inn you mentioned was the 'Duskdream inn', the goldenroad apartments were a tenement for hire and the 'barrel 'n' over' was the south street inn/tavern. Side note: Tiny Sentry's murderous intent was fun to watch. Too bad infiltration didn't pan out ideally.

It's my favorite time of the week again!

Not to be pedantic (and not a personal jab against you Mark) but I'm pretty sure the entire party aside from Nova would have been able to clear the 10 foot gap (I think it was 10 feet?) between the abbey and the clock tower without making a check. *Long Jump:* When you make a long jump, you cover a number of feet up to your Strength score if you move at least 10 feet on foot immediately before the jump. When you make a standing long jump, you can leap only half that distance. Either way, each foot you clear on the jump costs a foot of movement. I think everyone has a strength score higher than 10 aside from Nova, who I believe has 7, and I think there was enough space on top of the clock tower to facilitate a running jump. Either way, everyone made it over so it never really ended up mattering but it's just something to keep in mind! And it was a great session to watch as always!

That intro, damn. Mark and Tom are you Jenna and Julien because that was one FIRE SEGWAY

i turned my self tiny quill! i'm tiny sentry!

This episode was so exciting! Good job guys! x]

Valla showing up made me very sad, they didnt check on the magic cinnamon bun

Great to see Mark in such a good mood! :D

Misty Step = 1 bonus action. =)

Breaks ends at 1:32:07

I imagine small Sentry as a clockwork toy

Watching at 1.75x speed... trying to catch up to the next episode and it's 10.47pm... I should sleep but I'm just using dnd to feed into my sleep deprivation

I see Chris is for the Horde. Well done!

Tiny Sentry is a blessing

I have just bought your signed poster it's really good.

You allways have those players that skip the dungeon that you worked on for a week.

1:36:29 Tiny Sentry is chaotic adorable.

At this point i would ve just told the leader of the town(forgot name kallie???) To evacuate everyone not loudly just have messages to everyone's doors saying that they need to get out of there 😢 its scary thinking there could be a purge

Sentry the little tin soldier

What a good episode

sentry in chucky mode lol.

I thought my phone was broken when the stream went black. Phew.

misty step bonus action:(

This is the most F-bombs ive ever heard from Mark in a stream 😂

If it gives you misty step once a day as an action that's actually quite shit

i was so scared that nova was going to die omg

2:32:35 Exactly what I thought Tom! I was thinking wth shes deaf not feeble minded

What every DM hates to hear "well I used (spell) for (purpose) before and you let me"

I'm 4 more episodes from being all cached up ahhhhh I'm to excited that I just want to skip but if I do that then I miss things whyyyyy must I be so exited and why do you have to have such a good and intriguing campaign (the first campaign I have ever watched btw)

Side note about bardic inspiration, you're not supposed to be able to inspire yourself. But meh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

good consistant naming scheme

shame they missed an assassin's creed momment were they thow a torch down the bell tower and jump before it bursts into flames...

supposedly seasoned d&d players getting tactical advice from an 14 year old npc

I believe all this is info from last episode so not super spoilery but still SPOILER in case you're here without having seen last episode I guess So, anyone have any ideas for what this other source of power below the abbey could be? Was the abbottess (spelling?) just harmlessly investigating some old abandoned tunnels under the abbey when she discovered some forgotten shrine or ancient prison to a demonic entity there? (perhaps the very same woman in chains from Qillek's vision, unless that was somehow the abbottess herself?)

I think that quill should have a feather Damascus dagger

*HEAVY FECKING SPOILER ALERT* They're still so happy here, just wait for the next episode, or watch it on twitch for free (i missed the stream so I checked and the VOD is already there for free).

Pete oculos, parvus Sentry!

Time to drop a few Bunker Busters on the Abby.

Que the mission impossible opening theme song. Hey stupid idea. But what would happen if tinny sentry was used as a railgun slug with nova using levitate and quil using gust would that be bludgeoning or piercing damage?

maybe you already knew but "internal church balconies" are called matroneo(ita)/matroneus(latin/official name?)

QUESTION! Is there a playlist of all the music you use in the background? Because I would love to have some new musics for my players to have in the background

2.34 minute mark!!! FINALLY!!

Does the sleep spell work on guardians?

Would of been the perfect time for a fire bear

lol Mark, the point of reduce is it's for the enemy not the ally.

Does Quill have disadvantage during athletics checks because of his wing? Didn’t see him do that during his jump to the abbey

what is the music they used its amasing!!!!

"Not even gonna roll, it fuckin decimates them"

25 done

all's well with your comp, they froze :D

WARNING! The following statement is made in jest: RIP Party next week. Good thing Mark is already planning another homebrew world. (I would love that a "this is a joke" warning wouldn't be necessary, but I know better.)
