the loophole does not exist 

He was genuinely desperate to do everything possible to make them not party wipe for a bit because HE WOULD HAVE FOLLOWED THROUGH ON THE THREAT

I feel like the intense shutting down of shenanigans was entirely part of the bit. The only foe that could ever fell this particular group is simply telling them "no", and that foe is named The Vulture King.

I do think it would even qualify as railroad. It just elsewhere in FH Brennan would normally allow any ridiculous non-sensical shenanigans they come up with

Um, Actually railroading is when the DM forces the players along a prepared storyline regardless of players' choices depriving them of agency. What Brennan did was enforce the rules of the Vulture King's court and make them honor their choice to answer simultaneously.

Like the MBMBAM bit with Justin and his egg joke! Justin even clarified it wasn’t that funny 😂

"FIVE IS RIGHT OUT"

“There’s a vulture on the telly…”

This is like the king of the swamp castle trying to get a simple order through the constantly misunderstanding guard.

"Who approacheth the bridge of death must answer me these questions three"

Ally is here to cause problems not solve them

sometimes chaos means abruptly choosing sense. and then pivoting HARD.

Well said, Greta

Personally, after getting called girlie by some random stranger who's offering me bread, I too would also throw them into my own personal realm with my buddies back home and force them to answer a riddle with any of their friends simultaneously AND unanimously.

...Brother?

This comments reminds me of the way people argue now, not wanting to see that there are other opinions that can be just as, if no more, valid than their own: “well, if you don’t agree with me you’re a nazi” 😂 I liked the riddle, but i’d argue that what you said can be turned around. If you found this riddle and the reveal “hilarious” then you don’t have enough whimsy and silliness in your life (like someone eating a McDonald’s burger and saying it’s the best burger they ever had, they just haven’t had much to compare it to) 😂

What is that gravity zero guy yapping about?

@@GravitasZeroPersonally, I think you're wrong. Saying someone isn't "silly or whimsical" is not the same as calling someone a "nazi". This should not be hard to understand.

What a perfect way to explain this entire season and I love it so much

Is it railroading though? Kristen chose to mess with the vulture, now they are being forced to follow the rules of the vulture dimension, doesn’t seem like railroading to me

It isn't railroading. It's called explaining the rules in a kingdom.

​@darrienjones8917 you have a poor understanding of what railroading means.

@YMasterS If you think this is railroading, then you actually have a poor understanding of it. People need to stop using that for things that aren't really railroading. They locked in, he is holding them to their choices, and then the king explained the rules. That's not railroading. That is the king explaining why the other stuff can not work. In character, no less.

Its an incredibly Zac-adjacent bit, which makes it so much better that it completely breaks Zac.

I can't wait for her to pledge herself to the Vulture King, then immediately do nothing with it until it dies.

@@glenndallas7171 Brutal but 100% accurate. Though since ep 9 of JY Kristen's gotten some actual character development

Some of those magical items ended up being super helpful (combined with some more useful items)

Not if Ally has anything to say about it!

There are no vultures in the trolled problem

Regardless of outcome, the Vulture wins the trolley problem.

No trolleys in the Vulture Dimension, they don't really need them. Vulture moral quandaries rest on questions considering numbers of birds per quantity of stone.

GRANDpapA‼️ not dead 🙏 but in the sky 😘

Screw you, take my life.

Maybe this season just isn't for you lol

Brennan has no qualms with outright murdering the party. Neverafter and Calamity are proof.

they put seven professional comedy writers in a dome and you're mad that they're making jokes

On top of the other comment pointing out how this is a game being played by improv comedians (which for the record, are great friends) so they’re going to goof off (especially since it’s literally the comedy season), but… You know Brennan literally wanted this, right? Like there’s a set, minis, animations, so it was planned. In the adventuring party for the previous episode, he admits to putting the vulture there on the battle map as a trap. He literally sets Ally up to interact with the vulture by pointing out how their choice of actions wouldn’t do much at the moment, and even hints towards the vulture which makes the players think the vulture's purpose is now to help the players get out of this rough battle they’re in (also mentioned in the adventuring party). The players did not do this (at least, not entirely) because "haha this’ll be goofy and funny, who cares about consequences". Their DM gave them hints, that they followed. The one doing the silliest option here, is Brennan. Plus, imo I wouldn’t say the original Fantasy High was more serious. In fact I’d wager the only reason it’s not as goofy is because everyone was learning the system. Keep in mind that prior to Fantasy High, the players and Brennan either hadn’t played D&D at all or had played 3.5 but not 5th Edition. They were more focused on learning the game than throwing the bits.

You have a group of 7 highly trained improv comedians who are all close friends and you DON'T expect their shenanigans?

no it's very cool. have you ever seen a vulture? theyre very cool

exactly, its fun

So wat

This is the same group of people that started the top hat fairy bit an episode before the final episode of a campaing, and kept said bit going on as they delt with something seemingly world ending, goofy movie references and all. So this always was (at least a tiny bit) possible.

how are there gonna be people with such incorrect opinions 💀

really? out of any other D20 season? can I ask why?

Get sent to the vulture dimension

It did feel a bit corny, but this stuff happens all the time at D&D tables. Brennan does his best to keep the story moving along & the jokes to a minimum during high stakes moments. But for this season out of all the other seasons I think the callback & a little reassurance that it’s okay to not be 100% serious 100% of the time was much needed.

anybody who wanted a whole ass new battle doesn't understand that this is the culmination of a ridiculous bit and therefore it makes no sense assume it would 1. be serious, 2. be given the same time, depth, and production that the rest of the campaign is given. and from the get go we were told this was going to be an especially silly series and that tone has been fairly stable. anyways like the other person said Get sent to the vulture dimension

Just admit you don't have whimsy in your heart and go to the vulture dimension 😂

How?
