I'm a hard-core combat DM. Visceral, tactical and life threatening combats are my favorite type. That being said, this was my favorite "combat" encounter ever LMAO. My ribs hurt
1:51:54 Rowen surfboarding his matress shouting his own name like an angry Pokemon made me laugh the hardest I've done in a long time! 😂 The whole encounter was fantastic
@@warling5042yes but she said the armor is more of an aesthetic thing. And this person is talking about when she’s Yknow, in the bath without the armor. Her unarmored defense should still be affecting her AC.

Fun fact: "Tourney" isn't short for "tournament". It's the older term. Tournament is a later derivative of it. Both entered the english language via french, "Tourney" in the late 11th century and "Tournament" a bit later (12th to 13th).
I was confused why they were talking about rolling D20s in the baths and then Matt explained...............now I'm curious what Lucius got LMAO I have to watch C2. Edit: Omg that "combat" encounter was the best.
Ah, yes, my favourite World of Warcraft creators have returned from the Holidays (I really hope youtube fixes their automatic sorting, this is getting really out of hand lol) Anyway, glad to see you folks return, really missed you.
no bettah way to start the new year than some nice chaotic dnd and a couple new idea's i can steal for my own campaign XD thank you for being a lovely mess high roller, i love you guys
This series is such a blast! I recently caught up to speed as I was watching through my 'Watch during RuneScape League Playlist' and I'm invested in the story already and the world seems really cool! The PCs are all very interesting and the unique subclasses are great. This is the first I caught live in twitch and I'm aiming to do that from now on. Keep it up HighRollers!
This is nice! I learned a lot from this episode! I always wanted to run a campaign that contains more sandboxy cities. But I didn't know how to do it. I didn't mind running a sandbox dungeoncrawl. But it felt wrong to run a sandboxy social sessions.
I'd like to say that Trott's Mote of Potential uses the benefit every time the bardic inspiration is used. You don't choose which benefit to use, the benefit depends on HOW the bardic inspiration is used. That's all.
2:33:18 the basic rooms, 25 gold per night... And Gruff's wanting to stick around at least for the tourney in ten days... 250 gold for that entire stay... What's the other place like cost wise? xD 2:46:30 so 20 gold for a four person room, 10 gold for an individual... And its ran by a family of Kobolds... Damn this towns expensive xD
@itsflowerside Not the actual recording. It was three weeks in between episode 6 and 7. No big deal. I was just making a joke. I think they took a break for Christmas.
Pointless opinion: I know Mark is bad estimating numbers, which is a tiny flaw considering his strengths. That said, If we've got multiple buildings built on top of each other, that map shows a city of 10-15k I reckon, which is much more realistic too I think.
This is an awesome map! Can anyone tell from the map which software was used to create it? It looks a bit like a map that could be created using Campaign Cartographer 3, but other software might do the trick as well.
1:12:20-1:12:24 For some reason, I hear a very mechanized voice "Halt! Halt or you will be EX-FO-LI-ATE-ED Halt!" 1:53:00-1:53-20 Rowan channels "The Beach Boys" ? 2:35:40-2:35:41 And Altheya becomes part of the MCU / Marvel. Is this canon?
They don't know it but I've inserted my own bugbear gloomstalker into the party. He kicks butt the first round, then its all raspberries phftftftftftft.
My mother is Cornish and I had to pause the episode to tell her about the insult. I live in Canada and most people don't even know Cornwall exists, so seeing some kind of reference to it is really nice.
