High Rollers: Aerois #4 | 2.5 Days to Die 

trott plays Lucius so incredibly well, he's so committed to the rp i love it

“They took our stuff first!” “And we killed all of them.”

I really enjoy Tom's flavor to his spells. Like making magic missile from his feathers, flapping his wing for gust, or ulling lighting from his injury to use a lightning attack.

*magical explosion in the distance* Qillek: "Are we the baddies?"

Me, throughout the bear fight MAKE A FIREBEAR. FIREBEAR. FIREBEAR. FIREBEAR

Trott plays an idiot so great. I genuinely snorted when he outed Valla - a new meaning for sol I guess.

Petition to make it so enemies are affected by the injury wheel when hit with a bat 20 (or 19 in Kim’s case). If it’s gonna screw the players, it should screw their enemies. Break their ribs, stab them in the eye, etc

"i wanted to play a more of a support" shoots magic missle instead of healing a downed party member lol

'i will turn this car around!' *hits Qill with said car* 'THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR NOT PLUGGING IN YOUR MIC'

"These people are upset they didn't get saved, I'm more upset that I did..."

Nova's 'leave no survivors' really foreshadows the 'gang does a war crime' moment.

Lucius: catch us some fishies Quill: maybe you could do it Lucius: you mean Aila? Quill: no, I mean you - could maybe - do something

Trott plays the best friggin characters, really adds some character to the game.

"You can't burn books!" "I mean......you can...."

When I first read the title I though "Oh my god, they have rations for just 2 and a half day? Are they still injured and exhausted? This is tough!!". I catched the joke later and I'm glad I was wrong. Good game so far, Lucius is my favourite!

“I’m a nice dm” -Is about to kill someone with a bear.-

I cannot express how much i love quill XD tom plays such a great character *as do all of the others* but i cant deny quill is my favorite

My favorite Lucius words as of rn Fishies Thingies Birdy Hes quickly becoming my favorite

" brilliant helps you become a better problem solver , or problem creater" I don't think I need help on being the last one

I like the change in how Katie plays the Aila. It's better then in previous episodes, hope she will go more in the direction of badassery, intimidation, violence is always a valid solution.

Love the group conversations between the characters in this episode! Funny characters. It's nice starting to see the characters bond and get to know each other.

I love how Nova's Toll the Dead just caused that goblin's head to explode. Amazing. It's like something out of Scanners.

everytime lucuis says 'my daddy' cant help but think of something different

Goblins? THE RETURN OF CAPTAIN BUMHOOK IS NIGH!

Two years later, I have become so emotionally-attached to these characters and this story I can't stop listening :D Thank you so much (a bit late) for this incredible adventure!

Jesus, I just noticed Katie's stats. That is mental

"What's _your_ positive thing?" "I'm not dead." 😝

Nova's actually quite scary when she's angry...

The character developement paired with the beautifully mastered NPCs were just AMAZING this episode, serious props to all of you holy hell.

1:57:10 "Did I not just make myself clear?"

I understand the feelings of some of the characters about the battle that transpired, but honestly, my war torn veteran character would have said, "They signed away their lives the moment they robbed us, threatened us, barely negotiated with us if it could even be called that, and absolutely would have killed us if we resisted any more than we did. We did what we had to, not only to survive, but to restore sentimental objects back to the rightful possession of their owners. They had every opportunity to allow us to go free and instead chose every path that begged us to kill them. They were lucky, they had a quick death, it could have been so much worse."

Astronomy is the science one. Astrology is the non-science one. For future reference, Kim.

Aerois Intro 6:08 Recap Starts 7:14 Break Ends 1:17:16

22:00 I got the biggest smile on my face hearing the group talk about Shardblades. Sanderson is such a great writer, I'm very happy whenever I hear that anyone is reading him.

2:20:20 The goblin fight was hilarious. The DM was brilliant.

Quill- Or you could carry it into the river and fall over again Ayla- do you want a closer look at this hammer

I love how Tom's Bardic inspirations are the most cowardly, "You do it for me." sentences.

Lucius: "I'm going to firebolt them. All of them." Qill: "Individually?" Lucius: "Yes." Qill: "While not looking?" Lucius: "Yes." Qill: "In a forest?"

Man, that fight in the camp... I didn't think they were all going to make it. That was intense.

The stalking "creature" at 1:32:00 is hilarious and Lucius being oblivious to no end xD

Quill is definitely the hero, he's the only one who is HORRIFIED by the fact that they killed so many people, he even ponders if they're the bad guys.

anyone watching in 2020? well this makes the year so much better!!

“What’s your positive, Arvil?” “I’m not dead...” I mean, fair enough.

I totally relate to what Kim said about accumulating books

So, flashback to episode two. Initial critic was the unappealing chemistry and a lack of assertive response from the group, NOT the fault of any player, just the group chemistry didn’t surface out like it did in episode 1. The decision-making was slow and dragged the gameplay out. I was then disenfranchised and worried by the chemistry of the group in future episodes. Present thoughts, after watching episode 4 live on Sunday...It has rekindled my intrigue in the group once more, in other words, I fucking loved this episode. Mark great as usual, being the masterful GM he is. Great role-play from all players. I was alive while watching Katie‘s performance - now she really stands out - displaying her reasonable disinterest in the group, like Juitou was initially before she died, so that leaves room for a lot of development for her character. Trott played wonderfully, taking the spot light yet again, further evolving his character and cementing Lucius as my favourite. Kim played essential roles, her banter with Lucius and her respective chatter regarding Alia‘s goals - all amazing. I have always seen Arrakoccra as proud and fearless, Quill is the antithesis of this. However, Tom‘s character mirrors to closely to Lucius for my taste, of whom Lucius is my favourite. I like Quills greater display of remorse as opposed by Lucius‘, but not his greater display of cowardice to match that of daddy’s-Boy Lucius - their can only be one. Tom roll played well, despite my petty begrudges, I only want to see more of Tom. It is a shame Rhiannon wasn’t around, for what is easily the best episode yet, but I am hopeful she can role-play her character once again. Overall, the last 2 episodes have set up more chemistry in the group, with hints and nods at future plot for the characters. Npcs serve as great pieces of interaction for the players, the world is as expansive as it is captivating and I want to see more of all that Mark has to offer. Episode 4 was a great episode, keep it up. :)

I NEED Arval to say "It's high noon"

Lucius is great. Best character roleplay.

Mark impression of goblins is just my favourite

"I need a full action to reload this thing?" "Yep" "I'll end my turn without taking any action at all."

I identify so much with that goblin

Hope Quill picks up a light crossbow or something useful for ranged attacks in the next town

Mark's sound effects are so good in this video XD

Not incest goblins! They're the worst!

Sentry reminds me of Optimus Prime. Should we call her Sentinus Prime?

I'm watching this nearly 2 years later and the special edition pride run is on again.

Alright, I'm glad with how that fight ended. As for Mark's (good-natured) potshot at us commenters... well, fair enough- I did make it seem like it was your fault at first before clarifying my statement. But anyway, like I said, the fight went far better than I expected considering the odds, and the party managed to even solve some of their food problems. It was also nice to see the characters- NPCs included- trying to cope with their actions, being the first time they really were on the offensive instead of trying to escape or intimidate. Everyone did a good job showing how this whole mess affected them (I mean, I have no sympathy for the elves- they stole the party's stuff, threatened them multiple times, and then tried to seem like the victims?- but in character, it can be a lot to take in). Beyond that, the banter between everyone on the journey to the river was well done. Nova was adorable with her book-smart personality, Aila was finally showing a bit more initiative, Qillek was a great person for confiding to while also trying to learn things himself, and Lucius was oblivious in the best was possible (daddy will pick him up, he didn't get the hint about the daggers, ect.). I can't really comment on Sentry since her player wasn't here, but I am still interested in her. Once more, you guys have continued to impress us- don't let any future comments from me or anyone else criticizing something in a session convince you otherwise. We just want to make sure everything is going well and that any mistakes made don't persist in the future (like a druid who's not moon-circle being able to shift into a CR 1 beast when they are not level 8). And like I said before, it never hurts to clarify a few things so that everyone is caught up. See you guys in two weeks, where we may hopefully get to civilization.

Wow, at 5:40 Katie and Tom really did double thumbs up at the same time! LOL

I love goblins so much, I really hope we see more of them!

I was starting to get into this show, then they made a stormlight chronicles reference and now I'm committed

To answer the riddle, I believe the answer is 6 moves, but I'm tired so *shrug*, but me being a smart ass, can say zero, if I just move to the other side of the bar

1:51:39 it had brought me much joy seeing such a wonderful and intensive dm sipping from a juice box

Came here from Crit role after Marks guest starring. I have to say I'm very conflicted. I don't thoroughly enjoy Marks style of DMing, in some points its very casual seeming, sometimes it feels like it lacks emotion to me. Not always, just sometimes. However, his world building is freaking incredible, and I feel like I find myself sitting like a starry eyed child when he starts describing the world or bringing in new things. And I love the players, so far they're all quite wonderful. Overall my likes outweigh my dislikes, so I'm unsure why I'm really posting this. Maybe I'm thinking that someone can explain what I'm seeing wrong or if anyone agrees with me.

Mark with his little juice box gives me life

Oh, i almost forgot. Seems nice to be all caught up and ready to continue.

I really really love this show,critical role is very similar but this one hooks me better so I like this more.

This just seems like such a good time! I would love to play dnd with my friends now!

I imagine that Quill is always hovering around Sentry.

I freaking love that goblin part also marks face tho

These sessions are fabulous. Keep it going guys ❤️

I don't know if you'll see this Mark, but are you planning on making the stats for the Guardian available like you did with the Lightborn? Also, I know it's a bit of work on your end but would you consider creating a Wiki for Aerois so that people can use it as inspiration for their own Campaign settings?

As per Mark, Pro Tip: If you tend to take no action, at least take the dodge action. Awesome tip...

I want to see Rhiannons face when she realises her character caused a massacre when she wasn't even there.

Yoo know, as a person who has great childhood memories of the Yogscast, it makes me sad that High Rollers is the only part I enjoy. But High Rollers is possibly one of the best Yogscast shows that has ever existed! Very close to Shadow of Israphel!

Puzzle: I say to the barkeep "Zero" and hold up a mirror in front of the coins.

the dndoggies are FRICKIN AWESOME

I love that goblin just the faces we're the best

At like 1:58:50 the line “I stopped listening almost instantly” made me laugh

''Bear-ly hold on to her shield'' hehe

Watching this in 2024 , great show

I'm a little late to the show but so far I'm surprised I like the characters already, excited to see how the story unfolds

Now that I've caught up it means I can't binge watch anymore, still worth the wait though

They're g-not g-nomes, they're g-noblins

I’m very late to the game on catching HR, spent way too much time with tons of other great DnD shows, but I am so happy with Kim’s character this time around. Really didn’t like Jiutou but Nova is perfect. And of course Lucius is just fantastic. Having Trott and Kim on the same side of the table is a great idea.

Goblin Players: _Triggered_ Also Goblin Players: _Nod in agreement with Mark's description_

That was so funny. "It's better if he looses hope in the city than out here"

i love this setting. nice work mark super fucking cool

1:11:32 “Pack Pack” lol

5:41 is when the double trouble thumb thing happens and I didn’t notice it but I played it bake and it legit freaks me out!!! It’s like the twin thing we’re they say the same thing! Ehegg

One! I'm turning the whole damn table they are on!

Mark Hulmes the master of goblins

I thought when he said large river, I thought he said Large wyvern I was like, Welp rip Lucius

They put their dm on the spot so much

Does anyone know where the 5th episode is?

Anyone else come over from the podcast just to see marks face as the goblin?

Anyone know the music playing when they show the fanart?

Quill and Valla are my favorite characters

Hey I'm only fairly new to dnd, how does Lucius do that secondary (dye chromancy?) Attack? I can't find in the sorcerer phb

Episode 5 :)

I just noticed this has been added to the chapter 2 playlist, instead of the proper video.
