I both loved and hated the episodes with the Wendigo in it, they were TERRIFYING AF. Also, Derek should find as many ways as he can to use that Death Whistle in future campaigns cause it was the most spine-chilling sound I couldve imagined for a horror creature to be making
07:26:02 -- Watching this group in multiple campaigns now has made me want an Avantris-themed character sheet template, that renames "Skill Proficiency" to "Things Where You're a Viking" 😆
Derek: Enthusiastically consumes minotaur spit Andy: Immediately throws up Me: Ah yes, the shenanigans I've come to know and love. I can't wait to finish this campaign before it restarts in April!
For anyone just starting, the length of the videos can be intimidating, especially if you struggle with focusing like me. But having gotten to episode 8, I can promise that it’s worth the watch. If you struggle with focus I can recommend increasing the video speed and occasionally skipping through the fights, as those were areas where my attention would faulter (no disrespect to the gang of course, it’s a me problem not a them problem). Once you get into it and get past the first few episode which have lower audio quality (again, no disrespect to the gang, you guys are awesome), this campaign is absolutely awesome and a great watch ❤❤❤
Took a while to finish this episode, still not used to the 8-hour sessions. Everyone did spectacular, and as always I love seeing Mikey DM. Super excited to see where one this goes...
So my original plan was catch up on Witchlight, then watch Prime, then Strahdanya, then Icebound, then Edge of Midnight, then Beneath Dark Wings. But, my ADHD said "Start all of them. Every single one. RIGHT NOW!" So I've made a game of it and assigned each campaign a numerical value and I'm just gonna roll a D6 whenever I feel my attention span waning to determine which campaign to watch lol
My OCD said start at prime and do not watch anything else until you have finished. Once I did it only allowed me to watch the next one up on the playlists list. It nudges the back of my head sometimes that I can't watch into the feywild in proper order as I can't find it 😅
After my introduction to you guys through you “once upon a witchlight” campaign I unfortunately ran out of episodes. So this is what I’m going to spend my next *takes a look at the playlist* 6~8 months on. I look forward too this campaign, because I know that most of you guys are amazing, and have no reason to doubt that the two unknown players will be anything but equally as amazing.
I am in the same boat, but i highly recommend their curse of Strahd campaign as well. I started that one when I first ran out of witchlight episodes. I still need to finish strahd, i got distracted by CR and more Witchlight and now this campaign. Hope you enjoy!
Me: man with all the dnd shows i watch im surprise im not crushing on a pc You guys : australian goliath barbarian with a good heart and sails good. Me: fuck
As a Māori person I wasn't too offended by the tacky ta moko (tattoos) or the weird looking taiaha (spear?) it's that accent... I don't know if your accent is meant to sound like you're from Australia which isn't where we're from
As a NZer. Its very hard for me to resolve the nuances of a barbarian that looks like a NZ Maori or Polynesian with Ta moko tattoos, and a name like Toa, but sounds like a South African 😂 Im not sure if the accent was meant to be Australian??
Y'all I looked through so many shorts to find this campaign. I just finished Edge of Midnight, and I needed another dark campaign from you guys. What better than an older campaign that I can binge for 8 hours at a time!? I'm so excited to follow this journey and comment along the way!
3:17:40 Oh, Andy thought he was gonna be an engineer too! That's cool! 4:10:56 Ah, this reminds me of the flash cards short XD 4:16:33 Can I get that again?? 😂 5:22:32 Does she just never break character? XD 6:13:49 How romantic lol 7:17:58 No he LITERALLY gets a bird's eye view
Im terrified to start this because of the 8 hour sessions because i watched icebound and whitchlight which feels so new and feels like they've come so far. Im determined to watch because i love the content and the crew
First time I’ve seen a dnd show setup with everything that it should have. A pic of a PC and name under the player. Says the class and something to say the level and we get quick looks at the stats sheets. Vary nice
Timestamps and spoilers: 0:16 The pillow biters arrive 4:30 CW: shit may get real. Kelsey backs out. 5:48 Live-streaming results in Mikey’s balls going up in smoke. 6:40 Geno get out of here 8:00 baby Avantris cast introduce themselves 12:20 music starts and the story begins on the road to Kirstein (which I can’t spell) 13:29 Felix and Toa are introduced 15:05 two figures approach; Big T picks Felix up “like always” to hide in the woods. 17:24 Lufti and Iris see this and speculate about activities done in bushes. 19:13 Hyrja and Caprice see a man and an ox approaching the crossroad 23:13 an unassuming man with a huge greatsword and an ox 24:55 Toa should only carry Felix in emergencies, such as literally anything at all 25:50 Caprice and Hyrja probably don’t need to interact with the people dogging in the woods 27:10 Lufti and Iris hear what they assume to be handsome men diving into the forest. 28:25 the boys have been made, and prepare to defend themselves 30:40 The unassuming middle aged man calls for a conversation on the road 31:30 An exotic cat. Big T doesn’t know if she’s a bid guy. Felix tries to leave 33:00 Iris and Lufti promise they’re not bid guys and so does everyone else 34:00 the NPC is Godrick Zulch and Felix is called Steve. 34:38 Lufti about Toa: big but a little dumb which is just the way I like them. (She has this in common with someone else later on…). Iris prefers Felix 34:50 Tabaxi are people too. Did Toa just call Iris a whale? Fan me Lufti. 36:10 Toa and “Steve” could just break Lufti and Iris’ necks and burn them alive if they cause trouble 37:00 Looking for Kirstein 40:20 friends don’t lie, Caprichee (Papers, Please) 41:20 what’s up with the cat that came to harass Toa? (Street harassment is a crime) 43:35 Caprice introduced himself and Hyrja to… Thomas Kirstein 45:00 from the noble Kirstein family? Iris is talking, Lufti. 46:35 Iris can tell Toa if Lufti is a bid guy 47:40 Hyrja doesn’t have time for this. Godrick thinks the party should become one. 49:20 what about a drink? Zulch brewed it himself and Hyrja won’t say no. 51:45 Good head is good head 53:20 Is it beer at all, Mikey? 55:54 Iris’ jewellery will only look good for 6 more hours so we have to walk and talk (Beer tastes better from wood) 57:17 All alcohol is poisonous because drinking and deadly both start with D - what’s Tolix’ hurry? 58:30 Maybe you should pound a few drinks and loosen the fuck up 59:13 Zulch isn’t like the other Coravachians and he’s heading back to Zentra 1:00:40 Thomas is a dishonest bid guy (Are we the baddies?) just have a drink 1:02:15 define “emergency” - it took Felix and Toa at least 5 minutes to become new friends bur Toa has no more vacancies. 1:03:40 soft quest hook: pay it forward. Also Zulch likes music. 1:04:30 Caprice whips out a viol, which Derek has confused for a smaller instrument 1:05:50 What *is* he doing with an ox? Zulch is overwhelmed by the song 1:08:33 The group starts their journey again. 1:09:50 You’re the Steve to my Thomas - Caprice and Toa’s first jam 1:12:45 please don’t repeat Felix’s name. I’m always looking for trouble, darling. 1:14:05 the gang plays a lot of instruments, like the ukulele and the flail. 1:15:10 The nobility are the glue that holds us all together I’m sure we can agree. Iris is daughter of the pharaoh. 1:16:30 Iris’ father loves her. Also he loves Lufti. 1:18:00 Toa calls out Iris for talking over Lufti. 1:18:40 the Coravachian army saluted Iris - Felix doesn’t like this. 1:20:00 Lufti is attracted to things with features. Hyrja wonders if her family name would get her through. Toa just landed on a beach. 1:21:30 Toa has a rain collector and he buried his boat 1:24:24 camera antics 1:27:55 a roar in the distance 1:29:00 Dad doesn’t make that noise, so Hyrja wants to go away from it. 1:30:35 Time to make camp. Can Caprice make Iris’ day better? 1:34:15 Bad wood; look at the fire balls on Felix 1:35:50 Bless the Lord With No Temple; the brains and the muscle make a well rounded team 1:37:00 Toa will give Lufti permission to speak if Iris won’t 1:38:00 Hyrja introduces Dakota (let me touch your fireballs if you wanna touch my Dakota) 1:41:27 Given how paranoid you are this is perfect. How do we define paranoia? 1:42:50 did my father ever make me a magical weapon? 1:43:38 And as a lullaby, Caprice will play a slow rendition of MMMBop 1:44:30 DM: so is anyone keeping watch? (Andy real thought they were gonna go with Big T huh?) 1:45:35 Iris’ airbed 1:46:40 a roar, and screaming down the road. 1:47:10 there’s somebody dying in the woods, should we go darling? Dakota is slacking on the job 1:49:28 Upanatematem 🐈⬛ 1:50:45 a middle aged man begs for help 1:52:45 pursued by horned humans covered in hair. Iris casts sanctuary on the man 1:54:44 this looks familiar but real to Felix 2:10:11 Toa’s battle trance 2:48:00 Lutfi is wielding a spoon 🥄 2:57:30 Felix finishes the creature (and hits Toa, who checks dicks all the time) 2:59:20 Iris casts Prayer of Healing 3:01:00 the monsters were people from a nearby town transformed 3:05:00 Felix recognises this 3:09:30 Andy’s (Kelsey’s) shampoo smells good 3:20:30 The man’s Aymon to run away 3:22:20 no splitting the party 3:24:40 Iris appreciates death; Felix is AWOL 3:27:00 Felix discovered the beast plague wasn’t fake; the army has his brother and is taking other children 3:30:00 the army has been killing innocent people 3:31:12 the military calls this beast plague 3:34:00 the Most Toxic Codepencency Award goes to 3:35:39 She prefers Ms Crow; Toa doesn’t mind snapping bad necks. 3:37:30 honesty is a virtue 3:38:45 Dagny smells delicious and they need code names 3:40:00 a burning town with a few scattered corpses 3:45:30 Hyrja’s Divine Senses are tingling 3:48:00 giant hoofprints 3:49:50 the bodies in the street were finished off with a large blade 3:52:30 no survivors 3:54:30 this wasn’t the military 3:57:00 Lufti and Hyrja are the same height 3:59:00 beasts in the graveyard 4:01:45 3 giant hooves creatures on a hill, seemingly building an alter 4:06:00 debating an assault - or a pleasant conversation. 4:09:00 Caprice is going over there - but they’ve been noticed. 4:11:45 initiative 4:24:00 the fight begins 5:05:00 Lufti ends the fight 5:07:00 Caprice finds a rattle; there might be a bigger goat man out there 5:09:30 an altar with a crown and an intricate medallion on it 5:11:30 A holy statue beneath the rubble 5:15:38 Toa picks up the crown (turn that crown upside down) 5:29:50 heading back into town 5:33:49 bashing from the town centre and more horned figures 5:39:00 Stealing very loudly 5:41:30 a giant goat man with hounds(?) is breaking into the final building 5:43:00 softening him up 5:46:43 Caprice likes coming in from the rear; ice knife. 5:49:00 initiative 5:50:55 The terror of the closet 6:00:00 Daddy issues 6:02:00 self-rimming is the cat’s greatest asset 6:04:45 no one wants to be spanked to death by Lufti’s spoon 6:06:39 Turn the Unholy (no poultry-geists allowed) 6:11:50 Hyrja is knocked out 6:13:20 Hyrja’s death save - she likes it in the rear but under dire circumstances, she takes it in the mouth. 6:15:10 Maja’s husband is confused 6:20:35 Hyrja finishes the creature 6:24:00 the dogs is still a problem but Iris needs to groom. 6:25:20 Toa is allergic to hound. 6:26:55 Hyrja kills the dog. The party struggles with a locked door. 6:33:25 a woman clutching a teenage girl 6:35:00 they’re too late. 6:36:50 Caprice found… lube? 6:37:25 Iris casts Gentle Repose 6:39:00 they took her baby :( Thomas. And Alma was 14. 6:41:30 They took the baby to the church - the Raven Queen is the state religion here. 6:44:50 the town square is empty and unlooted. 6:47:00 abyssal chanting and tracks leading into the woods 6:50:30 Iris talks to the woman about raising her daughter. 6:53:20 Iris asks for Thomas’ teddy bear 🧸 😭 6:57:25 stealing 6:59:00 a figure silhouetted against the burning church 7:02:00 a blazing furnace shaped like a bulls head on a huge altar. 7:03:45 Felix doubts they can fight this thing; Caprice wants to give the evil creature the benefit of the doubt. 7:07:00 official and unofficial religion is being desecrated here. 7:08:50 Caprice still wants a chat. Felix doesn’t even like Iris and he’s with her. 7:10:50 what about just going all-in? 7:11:40 Caprice whips out a scroll with an ominous prophecy 📜 and he’s going to try and persuade the devil to set himself on fire 🔥 7:15:00 the short rest debate; Caprice’s song of rest 7:17:00 Felix looks through Beatrice’s eyes 7:21:00 Caprice leaves his viol (to his father, not Iris) and he and Hyrja go for a chat. 7:29:00 Caprice is happy to pledge to whatever, he’ll BRB with his sacrifice 7:31:00 Caprice debriefs with the gang - he’d prefer not to be sacrificed. 7:33:00 time’s up. Who’s the sacrifice? 7:34:45 initiative. 7:38:00 Caprice offers a De Sesto as sacrifice 7:40:00 Andy is outraged at this strategy. Lufti tries to run away with Iris. 7:56:30 Caprice. Catches a wad of spit from this creature. In his mouth. 👄 7:59:25 Toa finishes the bull man. Hyrja would have made a lovely sacrifice. 8:04:10 A strange labyrinthine brand 8:07:00 the damned souls of dead children rise from the furnace. 8:10:00 bone fragments and children’s toys 8:11:00 Toa finds an ornate lantern (the perfect gift for episode 18?) and pries the gems from the eyes of the furnace. 8:14:30 Felix is scared his brother has been sacrificed. Caprice is insensitive. 8:19:00 Felix and Caprice make up 8:20:00 Hyrja still has a few bones to pick with Caprice 8:23:00 maybe we don’t “light that baby up” given the circumstances 8:25:50 Alma and Rosalina are gone 8:27:00 Aymon isn’t in a good way.
I’ve made timestamps for this episode and then from episode 18 onwards. If you found them helpful, consider making your own for episodes 2-17 and posting them as you watch!
Ya know coming back to ep 1 after everything, it’s been one of the coolest things to watch these amazing people grow and change as the years have past, they’ve just hit 1 million! With the end of this incredible campaign drawing near all I can say is thank you for another beautiful story with beautiful characters that will inspire for years to come
Finally starting this campaign and while I’m thoroughly enjoying the characters and the overall mood I am most amazed by the battle music, Fairy Tail AND Undertale. Absolutely spectacular I love watching this group
I'm excited to finally start this campaign! I've heard wonderful things about it but I wanted to catch up on Edge of Midnight first, and at last... the time has come! I really love these characters already and it's such a change to see Mikey DMing after only seeing him as a player so far. It's already a great time! I will say- at around 3:18:42 when Nikkie was like "San Jose has an Egyptian Museum" I nearly dropped my drawing tablet I jumped so high. San Jose is my hometown and the Rosicrucian Museum has been a HUGE fixture in my life bc it's so close to the schools in my neighborhood lmao. We went there for field trips all the time. Somehow the reminder that that place exists for other people was scarier than anything that came before, but it is a great museum. I'd recommend it if you're in the area - they have lovely gardens!
so, first off, i love your content and most of all i love the RP with every campaign ive watched of yours. secondly, as a dm and pc myself, i love the creativity and hope one day i can come up with some witty shanagins for my groups as well. XD
The Fairytail soundtrack for the combat music was a hilarious suprise. Great work, guys. I love ya. Edit: And we are number one? Come on, guys. You're hitting me in the nostalgia! Edit 2: UNDERTALE THEMES!? I love you guys!
It does! This episode in particular is VERY quiet unfortunately. And no way to fix after it's been uploaded. But it should improve considerably in the next episode or 2!
13:55 Toa's Introduction 14:23 Felix's Introduction 18:29 Lufti's Introduction 18:39 Iris' Introduction 20:16 Caprice's Introduction 20:56 Hyrja's Introduction 34:08 Godryk Zulch 37:29 Hyrja no 😂 40:30 "Friends don't lie ok."

1:45:42 Iris literally just sleeps on top of Lufti 😂 2:21:30 Damn Caprice 3:06:11 👀 3:21:38 i agree with Iris. Let the man run away, less risk of wasting your resources to keep him alive 4:38:00 Caprice Jokes 5:46:49 Hyrja 😂😂😂 6:00:06 Caprice burns 😆 6:13:21 Hyrja 😧 6:13:45 LMAO Caprice 6:33:27 Poor mother and child 😢 6:36:13 oooof :( 6:37:26 Iris is slowly becoming my fav character 6:43:16 Raven Queen 6:50:31 6:56:57 6:59:16 Uh oh 7:11:51 Caprice's goal 7:16:16 Caprice Tunes 7:23:43 😂 7:26:24 Caprice 😆 7:29:10 ah yes bards, very entertaining to watch 'em roleplay 7:30:29 such great rolls lol 7:40:54 Aww Hyrja :3

Finally starting BDW after finishing Curse of Strahdanya and catching up on Edge of Midnight! I meant to start this before EoM as recommended by the discord and timelines, but I saw that EoM was being live-streamed to I caught up on that first. I’m also caught up with Uprooted and Icebound, because I just can’t watch one series at a time lol, so I’ll be alternating between this and Witchlight until I’m caught up on that too! Then it’ll be Prime Time!
Watched EoM first then CoS, and holy shit coming to this after watching those two back to back has been so cool. I know there's an official order like you said, but honestly working my way around the way I have has been so cool. Lost my shit at the mention of Edelwood at the end, and this stream came long before CoS (think it has to do with another campaign they've played, on the channel or not, idk). And I know from Avantris and Chill some vague things about this series, and it's all so exciting knowing that they're connected. It's even cooler that this, CoS, and EoM are all connected even while being DMed by two different DMs. This channel has been a goldmine for me for so many different reasons. So happy I've finally gotten to sit down and watch.
Have to watch this as I catch up with witchlight, which was Mikey’s first campaign with LOA? Having only watched witch light, it’s weird to not see Mikey and the usual icons for that group
This campaign, along with Prime and Root, is one of the only non-patreon campaigns of LoA I haven’t watched. I’m very much not happy with the current state of OUAWL, Icebound, SDR, and I’m not sure Im going to like where EOM goes when Arc 2 happens. So I did the most logical thing. I decided to watch an entire campaign(while keeping up with the current ones) and I chose this one. Yay?
When they were fighting the bigger bull guy, did they play Hopes and Dreams from Undertale or am I just hearing things? Because my god, that was perfect with the timing of Derek offering his treasured possession as sacrifice, lmao.
I am determined to watch all of these leading up to the conclusion of Beneath Dark Wings that is supposed to happen this year. Not sure what all will happen, but I wonder if Maya will be there to play her character?
Mikey "This campaign will cover some dark themes"
Party proceeds to spend 20 minutes finding out how to nicely say hi to each other
Expectations SUBVERTED!
@@LegendsofAvantris *MY FUCKING LEGS*
@@RA1NB0W-Mutial_Destuctionhis fucking legs
Mikey warning about dark stuff after I caught up on the neverending suffering that Icebound is gave me a chuckle
I'm in the same boat
I both loved and hated the episodes with the Wendigo in it, they were TERRIFYING AF. Also, Derek should find as many ways as he can to use that Death Whistle in future campaigns cause it was the most spine-chilling sound I couldve imagined for a horror creature to be making
I'm here from Edge of Midnight, so I gotta be honest, I'm not sure how much darker it could get without breaking Twitch TSA, lol
After edge of midnight, Icebound, and the horror show that is torbek. Don’t see how dark this could be
07:26:02 -- Watching this group in multiple campaigns now has made me want an Avantris-themed character sheet template, that renames "Skill Proficiency" to "Things Where You're a Viking" 😆
Yes please
Derek: Enthusiastically consumes minotaur spit
Andy: Immediately throws up
Me: Ah yes, the shenanigans I've come to know and love. I can't wait to finish this campaign before it restarts in April!
For anyone just starting, the length of the videos can be intimidating, especially if you struggle with focusing like me. But having gotten to episode 8, I can promise that it’s worth the watch.
If you struggle with focus I can recommend increasing the video speed and occasionally skipping through the fights, as those were areas where my attention would faulter (no disrespect to the gang of course, it’s a me problem not a them problem). Once you get into it and get past the first few episode which have lower audio quality (again, no disrespect to the gang, you guys are awesome), this campaign is absolutely awesome and a great watch ❤❤❤
Personally, I put this on when I need to walk in silence or during mindless chores. Idk if that's helps
8 hours for session 1??? Now this is something I can sink my teeth into while I'm at work
Yup! This is our monthly campaign where we play all day! So plenty of uber long episodes.
Ya know I feel the same way I sand skateboards all day so I listen to this great channel and critical role lmao
My group will usually play for around the same time. It's been a lot of fun and a great way to destress
@LegendsofAvantris I wish I has 8 hr sessions 😫 😩 😪
If I start this episode maybe 15 minutes before I clock in, I can still be listening to it by the time I clock out and I'm totally fine with that
Took a while to finish this episode, still not used to the 8-hour sessions. Everyone did spectacular, and as always I love seeing Mikey DM. Super excited to see where one this goes...
12:10 The episode begins. Note the volume is a bit low., mind your speakers and headphones.
Yeah, unfortunately our audio was still in a rough spot when we played this session. It does get better! Thanks for bearing with us. :)
Did I ever tell you you’re my hero?
So my original plan was catch up on Witchlight, then watch Prime, then Strahdanya, then Icebound, then Edge of Midnight, then Beneath Dark Wings.
But, my ADHD said "Start all of them. Every single one. RIGHT NOW!"
So I've made a game of it and assigned each campaign a numerical value and I'm just gonna roll a D6 whenever I feel my attention span waning to determine which campaign to watch lol
Same issue here. My mind wants them all, probably gonna take your idea 😅
Omg, that's BRILLIANT!!! Totally stealing this idea for when I can't choose something
Yurp.
My OCD said start at prime and do not watch anything else until you have finished. Once I did it only allowed me to watch the next one up on the playlists list. It nudges the back of my head sometimes that I can't watch into the feywild in proper order as I can't find it 😅
This is what I'm doing but I just watch one whenever I want to, whenever I feel in the mood to watch it
After my introduction to you guys through you “once upon a witchlight” campaign I unfortunately ran out of episodes.
So this is what I’m going to spend my next *takes a look at the playlist* 6~8 months on. I look forward too this campaign, because I know that most of you guys are amazing, and have no reason to doubt that the two unknown players will be anything but equally as amazing.
I am in the same boat, but i highly recommend their curse of Strahd campaign as well. I started that one when I first ran out of witchlight episodes. I still need to finish strahd, i got distracted by CR and more Witchlight and now this campaign. Hope you enjoy!
Me: man with all the dnd shows i watch im surprise im not crushing on a pc
You guys : australian goliath barbarian with a good heart and sails good.
Me: fuck
Hahaha Toa is the goodest boy across all our campaigns!
As a Māori person I wasn't too offended by the tacky ta moko (tattoos) or the weird looking taiaha (spear?) it's that accent... I don't know if your accent is meant to sound like you're from Australia which isn't where we're from
It's New Zealand/Aotearoa right?
As a NZer. Its very hard for me to resolve the nuances of a barbarian that looks like a NZ Maori or Polynesian with Ta moko tattoos, and a name like Toa, but sounds like a South African 😂
Im not sure if the accent was meant to be Australian??
@scottbarrett965 linguistics is hard so props to him for trying a voice like that out (even if it didn't hit how people want lol)
Andy’s character literally in mannerism and in like character design when it comes to Clothes is WIRT!!!!!!❤❤❤
Y'all I looked through so many shorts to find this campaign. I just finished Edge of Midnight, and I needed another dark campaign from you guys. What better than an older campaign that I can binge for 8 hours at a time!? I'm so excited to follow this journey and comment along the way!
3:17:40 Oh, Andy thought he was gonna be an engineer too! That's cool!
4:10:56 Ah, this reminds me of the flash cards short XD
4:16:33 Can I get that again?? 😂
5:22:32 Does she just never break character? XD
6:13:49 How romantic lol
7:17:58 No he LITERALLY gets a bird's eye view
Just finished binging once upon a witch light and got hooked so now I’m here to binge this campaign
I highly recommend icebound, Derek's story telling is gripping and right now there's only 13 episodes.
Im terrified to start this because of the 8 hour sessions because i watched icebound and whitchlight which feels so new and feels like they've come so far. Im determined to watch because i love the content and the crew
Started those at the end of june and stardust and im all caught up lmao😅
First time I’ve seen a dnd show setup with everything that it should have. A pic of a PC and name under the player. Says the class and something to say the level and we get quick looks at the stats sheets. Vary nice
Just realized this is 8 hours, time to practice more art while vibing with an amazing crew
This is going to be over 200 hours of entertainment to listen to while I work on my school work. Thank you guys so much for what you do.
The fairy tail music for combat music is beautiful, love all that you guys do!
I'm 30 minutes in and Andy and Rich are my favorite duo
Timestamps and spoilers:
0:16 The pillow biters arrive
4:30 CW: shit may get real. Kelsey backs out.
5:48 Live-streaming results in Mikey’s balls going up in smoke.
6:40 Geno get out of here
8:00 baby Avantris cast introduce themselves
12:20 music starts and the story begins on the road to Kirstein (which I can’t spell)
13:29 Felix and Toa are introduced
15:05 two figures approach; Big T picks Felix up “like always” to hide in the woods.
17:24 Lufti and Iris see this and speculate about activities done in bushes.
19:13 Hyrja and Caprice see a man and an ox approaching the crossroad
23:13 an unassuming man with a huge greatsword and an ox
24:55 Toa should only carry Felix in emergencies, such as literally anything at all
25:50 Caprice and Hyrja probably don’t need to interact with the people dogging in the woods
27:10 Lufti and Iris hear what they assume to be handsome men diving into the forest.
28:25 the boys have been made, and prepare to defend themselves
30:40 The unassuming middle aged man calls for a conversation on the road
31:30 An exotic cat. Big T doesn’t know if she’s a bid guy. Felix tries to leave
33:00 Iris and Lufti promise they’re not bid guys and so does everyone else
34:00 the NPC is Godrick Zulch and Felix is called Steve.
34:38 Lufti about Toa: big but a little dumb which is just the way I like them. (She has this in common with someone else later on…). Iris prefers Felix
34:50 Tabaxi are people too. Did Toa just call Iris a whale? Fan me Lufti.
36:10 Toa and “Steve” could just break Lufti and Iris’ necks and burn them alive if they cause trouble
37:00 Looking for Kirstein
40:20 friends don’t lie, Caprichee (Papers, Please)
41:20 what’s up with the cat that came to harass Toa? (Street harassment is a crime)
43:35 Caprice introduced himself and Hyrja to… Thomas Kirstein
45:00 from the noble Kirstein family? Iris is talking, Lufti.
46:35 Iris can tell Toa if Lufti is a bid guy
47:40 Hyrja doesn’t have time for this. Godrick thinks the party should become one.
49:20 what about a drink? Zulch brewed it himself and Hyrja won’t say no.
51:45 Good head is good head
53:20 Is it beer at all, Mikey?
55:54 Iris’ jewellery will only look good for 6 more hours so we have to walk and talk (Beer tastes better from wood)
57:17 All alcohol is poisonous because drinking and deadly both start with D - what’s Tolix’ hurry?
58:30 Maybe you should pound a few drinks and loosen the fuck up
59:13 Zulch isn’t like the other Coravachians and he’s heading back to Zentra
1:00:40 Thomas is a dishonest bid guy (Are we the baddies?) just have a drink
1:02:15 define “emergency” - it took Felix and Toa at least 5 minutes to become new friends bur Toa has no more vacancies.
1:03:40 soft quest hook: pay it forward. Also Zulch likes music.
1:04:30 Caprice whips out a viol, which Derek has confused for a smaller instrument
1:05:50 What *is* he doing with an ox? Zulch is overwhelmed by the song
1:08:33 The group starts their journey again.
1:09:50 You’re the Steve to my Thomas - Caprice and Toa’s first jam
1:12:45 please don’t repeat Felix’s name. I’m always looking for trouble, darling.
1:14:05 the gang plays a lot of instruments, like the ukulele and the flail.
1:15:10 The nobility are the glue that holds us all together I’m sure we can agree. Iris is daughter of the pharaoh.
1:16:30 Iris’ father loves her. Also he loves Lufti.
1:18:00 Toa calls out Iris for talking over Lufti.
1:18:40 the Coravachian army saluted Iris - Felix doesn’t like this.
1:20:00 Lufti is attracted to things with features. Hyrja wonders if her family name would get her through. Toa just landed on a beach.
1:21:30 Toa has a rain collector and he buried his boat
1:24:24 camera antics
1:27:55 a roar in the distance
1:29:00 Dad doesn’t make that noise, so Hyrja wants to go away from it.
1:30:35 Time to make camp. Can Caprice make Iris’ day better?
1:34:15 Bad wood; look at the fire balls on Felix
1:35:50 Bless the Lord With No Temple; the brains and the muscle make a well rounded team
1:37:00 Toa will give Lufti permission to speak if Iris won’t
1:38:00 Hyrja introduces Dakota (let me touch your fireballs if you wanna touch my Dakota)
1:41:27 Given how paranoid you are this is perfect. How do we define paranoia?
1:42:50 did my father ever make me a magical weapon?
1:43:38 And as a lullaby, Caprice will play a slow rendition of MMMBop
1:44:30 DM: so is anyone keeping watch? (Andy real thought they were gonna go with Big T huh?)
1:45:35 Iris’ airbed
1:46:40 a roar, and screaming down the road.
1:47:10 there’s somebody dying in the woods, should we go darling? Dakota is slacking on the job
1:49:28 Upanatematem 🐈⬛
1:50:45 a middle aged man begs for help
1:52:45 pursued by horned humans covered in hair. Iris casts sanctuary on the man
1:54:44 this looks familiar but real to Felix
2:10:11 Toa’s battle trance
2:48:00 Lutfi is wielding a spoon 🥄
2:57:30 Felix finishes the creature (and hits Toa, who checks dicks all the time)
2:59:20 Iris casts Prayer of Healing
3:01:00 the monsters were people from a nearby town transformed
3:05:00 Felix recognises this
3:09:30 Andy’s (Kelsey’s) shampoo smells good
3:20:30 The man’s Aymon to run away
3:22:20 no splitting the party
3:24:40 Iris appreciates death; Felix is AWOL
3:27:00 Felix discovered the beast plague wasn’t fake; the army has his brother and is taking other children
3:30:00 the army has been killing innocent people
3:31:12 the military calls this beast plague
3:34:00 the Most Toxic Codepencency Award goes to
3:35:39 She prefers Ms Crow; Toa doesn’t mind snapping bad necks.
3:37:30 honesty is a virtue
3:38:45 Dagny smells delicious and they need code names
3:40:00 a burning town with a few scattered corpses
3:45:30 Hyrja’s Divine Senses are tingling
3:48:00 giant hoofprints
3:49:50 the bodies in the street were finished off with a large blade
3:52:30 no survivors
3:54:30 this wasn’t the military
3:57:00 Lufti and Hyrja are the same height
3:59:00 beasts in the graveyard
4:01:45 3 giant hooves creatures on a hill, seemingly building an alter
4:06:00 debating an assault - or a pleasant conversation.
4:09:00 Caprice is going over there - but they’ve been noticed.
4:11:45 initiative
4:24:00 the fight begins
5:05:00 Lufti ends the fight
5:07:00 Caprice finds a rattle; there might be a bigger goat man out there
5:09:30 an altar with a crown and an intricate medallion on it
5:11:30 A holy statue beneath the rubble
5:15:38 Toa picks up the crown (turn that crown upside down)
5:29:50 heading back into town
5:33:49 bashing from the town centre and more horned figures
5:39:00 Stealing very loudly
5:41:30 a giant goat man with hounds(?) is breaking into the final building
5:43:00 softening him up
5:46:43 Caprice likes coming in from the rear; ice knife.
5:49:00 initiative
5:50:55 The terror of the closet
6:00:00 Daddy issues
6:02:00 self-rimming is the cat’s greatest asset
6:04:45 no one wants to be spanked to death by Lufti’s spoon
6:06:39 Turn the Unholy (no poultry-geists allowed)
6:11:50 Hyrja is knocked out
6:13:20 Hyrja’s death save - she likes it in the rear but under dire circumstances, she takes it in the mouth.
6:15:10 Maja’s husband is confused
6:20:35 Hyrja finishes the creature
6:24:00 the dogs is still a problem but Iris needs to groom.
6:25:20 Toa is allergic to hound.
6:26:55 Hyrja kills the dog. The party struggles with a locked door.
6:33:25 a woman clutching a teenage girl
6:35:00 they’re too late.
6:36:50 Caprice found… lube?
6:37:25 Iris casts Gentle Repose
6:39:00 they took her baby :( Thomas. And Alma was 14.
6:41:30 They took the baby to the church - the Raven Queen is the state religion here.
6:44:50 the town square is empty and unlooted.
6:47:00 abyssal chanting and tracks leading into the woods
6:50:30 Iris talks to the woman about raising her daughter.
6:53:20 Iris asks for Thomas’ teddy bear 🧸 😭
6:57:25 stealing
6:59:00 a figure silhouetted against the burning church
7:02:00 a blazing furnace shaped like a bulls head on a huge altar.
7:03:45 Felix doubts they can fight this thing; Caprice wants to give the evil creature the benefit of the doubt.
7:07:00 official and unofficial religion is being desecrated here.
7:08:50 Caprice still wants a chat. Felix doesn’t even like Iris and he’s with her.
7:10:50 what about just going all-in?
7:11:40 Caprice whips out a scroll with an ominous prophecy 📜 and he’s going to try and persuade the devil to set himself on fire 🔥
7:15:00 the short rest debate; Caprice’s song of rest
7:17:00 Felix looks through Beatrice’s eyes
7:21:00 Caprice leaves his viol (to his father, not Iris) and he and Hyrja go for a chat.
7:29:00 Caprice is happy to pledge to whatever, he’ll BRB with his sacrifice
7:31:00 Caprice debriefs with the gang - he’d prefer not to be sacrificed.
7:33:00 time’s up. Who’s the sacrifice?
7:34:45 initiative.
7:38:00 Caprice offers a De Sesto as sacrifice
7:40:00 Andy is outraged at this strategy. Lufti tries to run away with Iris.
7:56:30 Caprice. Catches a wad of spit from this creature. In his mouth. 👄
7:59:25 Toa finishes the bull man. Hyrja would have made a lovely sacrifice.
8:04:10 A strange labyrinthine brand
8:07:00 the damned souls of dead children rise from the furnace.
8:10:00 bone fragments and children’s toys
8:11:00 Toa finds an ornate lantern (the perfect gift for episode 18?) and pries the gems from the eyes of the furnace.
8:14:30 Felix is scared his brother has been sacrificed. Caprice is insensitive.
8:19:00 Felix and Caprice make up
8:20:00 Hyrja still has a few bones to pick with Caprice
8:23:00 maybe we don’t “light that baby up” given the circumstances
8:25:50 Alma and Rosalina are gone
8:27:00 Aymon isn’t in a good way.
I’ve made timestamps for this episode and then from episode 18 onwards. If you found them helpful, consider making your own for episodes 2-17 and posting them as you watch!
came for the Chuckles stayed for Avantris!
Here cos I just binged EoM and was directed by the comments to watch this campaign for context.
Im ready for this to be my new vocal stim.
2:25:34 Andy and Kelsey are so goals
3 and a half hours in and realized Felix is supposed to be “wurt” from over the garden wall. XD
The fact that you guys played Hopes and dreams, aserils boss theme from Undertale in one of the battles @7:39:17 just warmed my heart.
Ya know coming back to ep 1 after everything, it’s been one of the coolest things to watch these amazing people grow and change as the years have past, they’ve just hit 1 million! With the end of this incredible campaign drawing near all I can say is thank you for another beautiful story with beautiful characters that will inspire for years to come
I'm just starting this campaign and I just realized that toa sounds like the rock guy from thor Ragnarok. That's aweome
Thats what im sayin!
8 hour homebrew game? With a fun cast and competent DM? well fuck me, I gotta throw away some of my free time then.
ikr
2:42:20 The music made me super happy! its been such a long time since I’ve heard Fairy Tail battle music omg, made the vibe even better haha
2:42:43 love the Fairy Tail music playing during combat! I'm all fired up!
Binged OUaW followed by Icebound and now im here. Y'all make my work day go by way quicker.
Omg can I just say that all of these people are lovely? Everybody is both aesthetically and mentally pleasing.
Hahah just noticed the Final Fantasy battle music in the background. Nice!
I'm here per Andy's challenge. I will do my best to watch them all by the new episodes!
Is Derek giving every monster the benefit of the doubt part of his character? I honestly couldn’t tell at first haha
Finally starting this campaign and while I’m thoroughly enjoying the characters and the overall mood I am most amazed by the battle music, Fairy Tail AND Undertale. Absolutely spectacular I love watching this group
The part about learning abyssal killed me
I’m caught up on witchlight and icebound and now I’m here. I love watching you guys and I’m amazed by your dedication throughout the years!
I'm excited to finally start this campaign! I've heard wonderful things about it but I wanted to catch up on Edge of Midnight first, and at last... the time has come! I really love these characters already and it's such a change to see Mikey DMing after only seeing him as a player so far. It's already a great time! I will say- at around 3:18:42 when Nikkie was like "San Jose has an Egyptian Museum" I nearly dropped my drawing tablet I jumped so high. San Jose is my hometown and the Rosicrucian Museum has been a HUGE fixture in my life bc it's so close to the schools in my neighborhood lmao. We went there for field trips all the time. Somehow the reminder that that place exists for other people was scarier than anything that came before, but it is a great museum. I'd recommend it if you're in the area - they have lovely gardens!
so, first off, i love your content and most of all i love the RP with every campaign ive watched of yours. secondly, as a dm and pc myself, i love the creativity and hope one day i can come up with some witty shanagins for my groups as well. XD
Here after catching up to EoM on Richie's recommendation. Is there a connection to Virgil? I'm excited to find out!
I love how Felix seems to know so much about what's going on but when pressed for any details it shows he really doesn't know much at all
From the look of it, this is gona be a good story
Omg everyone is a baby ❤ this was filmed a while ago
Look at you babies! I’m so excited to go through another series! Here’s to many more years of DnD!
No wonder there are only 36 episodes in 4 years all the eps are like 5+ hours! jesus. I can't wait for the hijinks.
For anyone else who is going through these archives, this starts after episode 31 of Aantris prime.
i just found this channel through shorts and am completely caught up with Uprooted. time to binge 6 years worth of this campaign, im hyped
As a Māori New Zealander, I like Toa
Watching this in 2024... Awesome and so funny.
Maya laughs like Mace I love it
Watching this in 2024; y’all look so young!!! lol lil Baby Avantris! Congrats on how far y’all have come!
hey you guys are great! Loving the roleplaying
Thank you so much!
Is it too late to enter the give away?
It took me like a solid 30 seconds to figure out there wasn't a 7th player, seeing Nickie's jacket in the bottom cam made me so confused.
That one took me 5 minutes LMAO
ME TOO
also seeing kelsie peeking out from nikkie’s camera
About 13 minutes in and it looks like a study session.
The Fairytail soundtrack for the combat music was a hilarious suprise. Great work, guys. I love ya.
Edit: And we are number one? Come on, guys. You're hitting me in the nostalgia!
Edit 2: UNDERTALE THEMES!? I love you guys!
If you are having a hard time hearing, try using Stable Volume with the UA-cam settings
Starting this campaign just now and I just realized Iris and Lufti are just Beerus and Whis and now I can't get it out of my head.
Definitely love these guys in their campaigns a little hard to hear them in these videos though hopefully they get it fixed further along😎🤞
It does! This episode in particular is VERY quiet unfortunately. And no way to fix after it's been uploaded. But it should improve considerably in the next episode or 2!
Thanks for this treasure trove of campaings. 😂 now I dont even listen to music in my car anymore just avantris. 😂
Finally starting BDW and I'm so pleased Felix is based on Wirt from Over the Garden Wall :3

13 October 2024: yay A new campaign! also it's Derek!!
I’m here 5 years late and Toa sounds like the rock guy from Marvel also I love the Boss Fight 1 from Kid Icarus Uprising is SO good
the sikh joke confusion was absolute gold
2:55:00
...
Is the song We Are Number One? Like, from lazy town? Oh my god...
i noticed that too, i was just vibing to the music then, not paying attention o what they were saying
I finally finished beneath dark wings! Wait this is a playlist? FUCK
Toa reminds me very much of Korg from the Marvel Thor movies and I love it
Good episode, can't wait to watch the rest.
Welp, I'm caught up on everything else except Prime and Beneath Dark Wings, I guess I'm jumping into it!
Starting a new campaign hopefully I’ll be able to watch this for a bit longer
Enjoy!!!
Finally starting BDW after finishing Curse of Strahdanya and catching up on Edge of Midnight! I meant to start this before EoM as recommended by the discord and timelines, but I saw that EoM was being live-streamed to I caught up on that first. I’m also caught up with Uprooted and Icebound, because I just can’t watch one series at a time lol, so I’ll be alternating between this and Witchlight until I’m caught up on that too! Then it’ll be Prime Time!
Watched EoM first then CoS, and holy shit coming to this after watching those two back to back has been so cool. I know there's an official order like you said, but honestly working my way around the way I have has been so cool. Lost my shit at the mention of Edelwood at the end, and this stream came long before CoS (think it has to do with another campaign they've played, on the channel or not, idk).
And I know from Avantris and Chill some vague things about this series, and it's all so exciting knowing that they're connected. It's even cooler that this, CoS, and EoM are all connected even while being DMed by two different DMs. This channel has been a goldmine for me for so many different reasons. So happy I've finally gotten to sit down and watch.
I was going to start Edge of Midnight, but then I heard that this campaign was coming to a close so that'll have to wait 🖤
While watching this episode I was inspired by iris to make a continent for this world I’m making and I based it off of ancient Egypt
This is my first time watching this. I am excited!
Black Mages for Battle Music. Awesome.
I love that the music is from FMA Brotherhood :3
Have to watch this as I catch up with witchlight, which was Mikey’s first campaign with LOA? Having only watched witch light, it’s weird to not see Mikey and the usual icons for that group
Yeah this session is great!
Wooooo! It took a little bit, but I just finished the first ep!
Time to Re-watch BD-dubs for the 4th time in prep for it comming baaack!!! 🎉
Lufti makes me think of a German version of Phanty from Scooby-Doo Ghoul School lol.
I think it's the skin and hair that makes me think that tho 🤔
I’m your biggest fan Mikey 🥰
This campaign, along with Prime and Root, is one of the only non-patreon campaigns of LoA I haven’t watched. I’m very much not happy with the current state of OUAWL, Icebound, SDR, and I’m not sure Im going to like where EOM goes when Arc 2 happens. So I did the most logical thing. I decided to watch an entire campaign(while keeping up with the current ones) and I chose this one. Yay?
When they were fighting the bigger bull guy, did they play Hopes and Dreams from Undertale or am I just hearing things? Because my god, that was perfect with the timing of Derek offering his treasured possession as sacrifice, lmao.
I am determined to watch all of these leading up to the conclusion of Beneath Dark Wings that is supposed to happen this year. Not sure what all will happen, but I wonder if Maya will be there to play her character?
What happened to her?
From what I was reading she went to do her own thing, no bad blood or drama. Hope she's doing well@@FindingCalmInTheKaos
seeing rich without he beard is just as weird as when Daric shaved his beard
Starting my LoA grind today. Wish me luck!
i forgot if the battle of the bits is in this episode or the next episode
Is it just me or does Toa sound like Korg from the MCU?
YES THATS WHO IT IS THANKYOU
Mikey and Richey look like clones in this stream
they are actually twins i think
Twins be twinning
Literally are clones lol.
Ima be honest I clicked for that thumbnail
Love your dynamic! (Although as a German I am triggered by the way y'all pronounce "Lufti" 😉)
Edit: Actually all of your German pronuncuation 😉
lol
Felix: I don’t trust women
I’m dying
Oh man this is an older one
I'm coming from Icebound... if this has a dark themes warning, I'm genuinely worried 😂
"The Voice theme song ripped off of this." Cue me ignoring the combat to try and listen to the backround music to see if I agree
