- This is an animated part 2 of the story from the video "The Hero Of Parnast". This story is from my Dungeons and Dragons game, where the crew returns back to Parnast to uproot a nefarious villain who is sabotaging the town! Can the crew frame Wallace?

Next installment: The Slaughter Of Parnast
Nah the murder of every character named Wallace
@@commanderstorm8874 Why not both?
@@NevermindThee because the rest of Parnast was corrupted by walices dark magic and forced to do his bidding
And then it turns out the townsfolk and Wallace are all inexplicably invincible.
@@davidwaller3541 the worst outcome
“We’re all lawful good here.”
“Yup, me too!”
Holy shit that got me real good lmfao
Agreed
There should be a story where Wallace "dies" and the party has to (begrudgingly) find out who killed him. Long story short, it was Abserd.
plot Twist, Wallace is Abserd
Then the party praise absurd as the hero of everything
Iron King and the town tries killing him
So they kill all of parnast
Wallace is Trxie Starbright
Except if it was Abserd it was probably an accidental killing, manslaughter instead of murder.
Just calling it here:
Wallace is actually the ACTUAL bad guy who uses magic to keep the town under a spell or something and lure them back every time. :D
nope, but close. wallace is abserd
@@pedropradacarciofi2517 abserd is another character
Okay but imagine they finally tried to just kill Wallace and he revealed that he was secretly like a level 20 enchantment wizard and is basically keeping the town hostage.
@@picgmr1575 I'm gonna run that if I run the module he's supossedly in
@@laffinggas8068he’s clearly a fae fucking with the party.
“Oh yeah we’re all lawful good here.”
“Mhmmm”
“Yup. Me too.”
Oh lord that was funny.
Every hidden role game ever.
Oddly enough, I recall having made a comment on the first part about, if any of the party was Lawful Good, they wouldn't have treated Little Wallace as bad. I can't help but think that comment helped to affect this video in some way.
Also, reminds me of a video made by Taking20 about how "Alignments are Dead," which I feel this Lawful Good hatred towards Little Wallace helps to demonstrate that a small bit.
@@aidanjackson5084 what?
Aidan, are you under the mistaken impression that a Lawful Good character can't become justifiably annoyed without breaking alignment? Either intentionally or via stupidity, Little Wallace is an agent of chaos. Little Wallace is the antithesis of Lawful.
Laws are funny, in some kingdoms...
"I didn't ask how big the room was, I said 'I Cast Fireball'."
Did you get that shirt also!
Lol, but what does this have to do with anything?
They're alluding to the 'accidental' friendly fire.
What is this in reference to? It sounds familiar, but I can't place it.
gisaku33 I think it’s another video, where they had to climb vines to reach a ship stuck in the trees. Or it’s another adventure where they go investigate a haunted house and one player decides to burn something and it starts a fire that consumes the only exit available.
This is how chaotic evil characters with monikers like 'the butcher of Parnast' are born
"And its glorious"
Worth it...
No joke, I ran my PCs through this exact story and they got frustrated, blamed Wallace, dressed up as orcs, beat him to death, killed the guards, and let the ACTUAL orcs and their allies burn the village to the ground.
aearroyo seems about right
@@aearroyo in two different campaigns we have stopped at an inn and ended up slaughtering everyone and taking over
This party really is of good alignment. Everyone I play with would have tortured Wallace to multiple deaths already.
i usually play half monster charakters and i tend to eat or just snack on villains and badguys and i wouldnt have eaten him...
@@Serothil_and_stuff My Nazi elf party would've just killed him for being a human. Then they would've burned the entire village and murdered everyone. And then they would engage on an argument about how their actions are ''caotic'' good.
@@cruzwindu777deffsff4 Nazi Elves? Have they read Mein Kam-... I mean... Silmarillion?
My character is a half elf druid hunter. So if Wallace died he would have found a way to use every part of his body in some way
My Party is always against it when I try to get Information by torture. Bleibe I'm the only chaotic neutral in my Party
Wallace is the son of abserd
Hes the son of the multiclass, and thus knows only one spell, deseption
Yes
this totally needs to be a thing.
Yes. This be revealed in part three
I was about to make the same joke
It's official, he's Abserd's son.
no no clearly he is the boy who becomes abserd :P
I seriously hope that's where puffin is going with this?
@@watcherofmemelords7967 probably not because Wallace is a module character, so unless he alters the story to be that. I think it would be really funny though :3
Stranger backstories have happened.
Yeah basically
It was a deception
From far far away: II WWWAAAAAAaaaarrrrnnnned you
This is the best thing ever
Matthew Winner I agree
..... I was expecting a abserd still good joke tho
@@lewmalson5863 oh, come on, that's *Abserd* !
Also don't forget the pets
“But, It WaS aDecEptIon” sword of warning: *I warned you!*
shut up copy
Copyyy
The comment right above urs is from a year ago and is the exact same but they actually know how to switch between lines
Tho urs is a year ago too, well 1 of u are copies
'Why do you hate Wallace? Did he kill your families?'
WORSE!
'What did he do!?'
He was....an escort quest NPC!
'OH GODS NO!'
FLASHBACKS!
I mean, SERIOUSLY, that is the ultimate trigger word. Don´t even say it.
Just pretend it never happened.
XD LOL
Almost as bad as a fetch quest
Hell no. Fetch quests are tedious, but simple. On an escort quest you have to match your speed to the NPC and save them from their own stupidity multiple times, because every time there is a random encounter, said low level NPC will just charge anything including a dragon with suicidal bravery. You often have to reload or restart the quest multiple times. It's just less painful to cast a gate spell and save yourself the trouble. In some games it is also viable to get a bunch of escort quests and escort them to a dungeon where they'll die and sell their stuff for profit.
I'm waiting for the part of the story where we find out that Wallace is actually some kind of trickster god that tortures hapless adventurers that wander to Parnast
I'm staring to think they are on some demi-plane like Ravenloft. They keep ending up back at Parnast and Wallace is the domain lord.
@@godofzombi New campaign setting achieved.
Yeah, I mean how does a squishy little Wallace survive so much torture???
Nah, just some more bad things happening to Parnast. Eventually, giants attack. Fun times.
The villain was actually a victim of Wallace who suffered the same fate. A simple farm hand who discovered an old relic buried deep in the woods outside of town he needed help from a close friend, Wallace, the carpenter. The two slaves away at uncovering this relic only for the villain to fall ill, leaving Wallace to turn the relic in. Wallace was thanked and praised for the discovery, the relic attracted tourists and investors that saved the town from falling into poverty. Ever since that day, the villain tried to end Wallace for stealing all of his glory. Wallace, Chaotic Stupid, true villain of Parnast.
That Wallace keeps accepting such credit instead of acknowledging he's not the hero both times and explaining to the town what actually happened is also indicative of Wallace's character. :P
It gives me so much joy to know that my players aren’t the only ones who just. Take every opportunity. To tame every creature they encounter.
I wouldn’t be near as mad if they weren’t so good at it for some reason
This one time I was playing as an illithid-demon-descended psion with telepathic powers. We were going on a quest through the desert on a sandship, attempting to locate an ancient magical tower where it was rumored an ancient artifact of unbelievable power was located. On the way the GM was describing the terrain, "The sand flows as far as the eye can see, without careful navigation all direction would be meaningless, you see a giant turtle lying in the wastes-" I interupt the GM, "How far away the giant turtle?" "Not close enough to harm you, a little over 100 feet away." "I manifest psionic dominate."
Thus a friendship to last a lifetime was born. Later when we encountered an artificer I got him to make me a scroll of Awaken. The turtle was smarter than several party members.
How do they take care of them. Many must be really high maintenance.
Hahahahahaha
Hero "We're all Lawful Good here."
Main Villain "Yep me to."
We're*
"Awful Good"
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
I need help XD
We'stedive
@@Phhase as in "so good it's awful"
The classic oblivious innocent child vs person who wants to strangle said child trope. Works every time
“This is exactly what i expected”
*said the child as he was being strangled*
Just like Home Alone, good stuff.
Jerricola Kevin is a deranged psychopath, not an innocent kid. An abusive family like that would do that to you.
He also should be a serial killer based on how many times the Wet Bandits should have died
Ah, the Bart Simpson/Sideshow Bob trope never fails to entertain me.
I dunno if he's a child in Puffin's game specifically, but I managed to find it... he's nineteen.
And in context, the feast last time was a scheme by a former dragon cultist to regain the town's favor, and both Wallace AND his father rightfully call bullshit on the guy.
I still side with Wallace over the party.
3:53
"Please continue your exam, it is definitely not a trap"
Wallace: Okay I believe you
And then Wallace becomes the Italian Zenort! XD
Swoobat Charge *Ouchie Ouch* (I think I spelled that wrong. Whoops! 😅)
Swoobat Charge Just A Pancake is so funny. 😄😆
“Who is the true villain here I wonder?”
“Wallace, Wallace, WaLlAcE!!!!”
The timing is too perfect lol
Wallace could give the party 1,000,000 platinum and they'd still hate him
Nah, actually I think that would make them stop hating him, because that would mean he actually CONTRIBUTED!
but you cant buy high level equip with gold... so its worthless to some degree....
Nah, they wouldn't hate him if, say, he gifted them all Mags.
They'd still hate him, but they might settle for him never setting foot within 1km of them...
..and have carry it all around, what a burden, lol.
"Sorry but I have to be the stick in the mud. Lawful good here"
"Oh yeah we're all lawful good."
Villain "Yah me too"
Praise the hero of Parnast!
“Oh yeah, we are all lawful good here” 😂 I died when they said that
juan farias there doing good
Love the idea of this random idiot child constantly failing upwards and becoming a Legendary Hero entirely by accident.
The party should look on the bright side of that ending. Wallace is believed to be a hero of the town, a highly skilled individual and can get stuff done. So...when the town sends him off to go and deal with another village problem, he will be HORRIBLY and BRUTALLY killed by whatever the problem is. So he might lose some credit for the accomplishments that he never said to anyone, "Hey, I didn't do anything, they did." That should make him look even less like a hero in the long run....and then he will be killed. Win/Win!
You say that like this railroading of plots won't just find new ways for Wallace to come out on top. Remember, the DM of the story is going on the logic of 'if it's not an option in the book, it cannot happen.
Actually, I think the village would just believe that he died in a blaze of glory, and make three statues to remember how heroic he was. So framing him really was the best option.
This is why I like the catapult spell. Have an annoying railroaded npc. * casts catapult on a rock* Oh gods a trade wagon rolled into town and it must have hit a loose rock or something laying there on the side of the road. It just struck him in the head and killed him! What are the odds!? This is even funnier if you get telekinesis and could just make a weapon rack from an armory fall on someone you don't like. Must be the wind. I usually play sorcerers so most of my characters have high persuasion.
Sounds fun ^_^
But I also just like the idea of playing along with the DM, getting friendly with Wallice and then just casually assassinating him in a surprise round with whatever my strongest possible attack was and see how he reacts ;3
If the party is there to witness any of the stuff he does he will get through it for the better. That is the curse of Wallace. They either need to kill him themselves or frame him like they should of this time.
"We're all lawful good here"
*Suspicion intensifies*
"Look, what we're doing is justice, it's fair. Sometimes to make a point, you need to burn down a tavern. Innocent people, NEED TO DIE."
Oh god my sides. Hatred for annoying characters transcends alignment and moral codes. If this isn't a thing, it needs to be a thing.
Lawful good can do terrible things in the eyes of others if they true believe they are doing good.
I read this comment exactly as it happened
Ya know this is almost as bad as my current party who are....morally ambiguous. I created a NPC opponent I named Sir Peryton of Luksor who was a Chaotic Good Paladin. Gave him all the tropes Power Rangers Poses, long winded speech of Justice, talking over the party of villians, ya know the usual. This character has become soo hated by my party that after he died to a trap they mutilated his corpse and took his heart just to prevent Resurrection!
Jack Blackthorn you really wouldn't like it. My players seem to shift between Champions of Justice Lawful Good to Epitome of Death and Destruction Chaotic Evil at the drop of a hat.
So far their exploits involve saving a town from rampaging Ogres and taking no reward for the deed from thankful peasants, Burning an entire city to the dirt murdering thousands, Saving a Cursed Temple from a Vampire Lord and slaying him, Tricking a small orphan into triggering a rune trap so they could get into a vault (killing him), slaying a band of Assassins, Holding a Merchant at knife point and robbing him blind....you get the idea....
Hm... Funny. I get the feeling I wouln't like the flip-flop of paragon and murder-hobo either.
I like Paladins, yet hardly play one nowadays. It's also funny looking and comparing them mechanics-wise and realizing both Pathfinder and 5e Paladins are FAR superior to my favorite edition's (AD&D 2e) Paladins... I'd rather take the modern Lay on Hands than "2 HP per level ONCE per day". Sheesh.
Closest thing I'll be making in coming days will be my first Fighter... a Lizardfolk that, looking at some things, takes a bit from "bandit" encounters in terms of his weapon layout. So, given I want the cold-blooded fellow to be Lawful Good, I have this silly image in my head. Cultural differences.
Take, for example, if Little Wallace COULD die as opposed to being a vital railroaded story-based NPC. My lizardfolk fighter would be... respectful of his remains... in that he sees no point in burying the body when he could COOK AND EAT IT, so while he never got to live his dreams of adventure in life, a part of Wallace's spirit will be carried on through the lizard's heart and soul... and bowels.
Said Lizardfolk Folk Hero will fully expect the party to do the same to him and will be offended from the afterlife if he's just buried in the ground or cremated... or offended in the present day if he gets resurrected. Because "Lawful Good" by his culture. XD
Thoughts? I apologize for the ramble, I'm just giving an example. For the story itself, as the party is portrayed they seem like jerks and whiners, but I get the impression that it's more of an exaggeration, judging from another commentator being from the group and telling how Puffin is a good DM seeming to not give himself enough credit in these.
sounds reasonable
@@bonel0rd326 So they would take candy from a baby. Got it. :)
Everybody loves a ______ ranger team.
This would have lead to a pvp situation in my group.
How so?
@@tribot9688 We'd kill the newbie for going so hard against the wishes of the main group.
Clive Doe makes sense to me
Me too
@@clivedoe9674 I would recommend splitting the party and murdering Wallace while the newbie is elsewhere.
I want a whole series of the party just dealing with Wallance, The Hero of Parnast.
Step 1:Kill the bad guy
Step 2: Hide the body
Step 3: let the evidence lead to Wallace
You got that wrong.
1) Kill Walace
2) Hide the body
3) Frame the guy who hated Wallace and reveal how he tampered with evidence to frame Wallace.
... I guess this still makes Wallace a hero. Damnit, is there no way to beat him?
1Maklak there is.
1. Don't show up.
2. Bad guy kills Wallace.
3. Bad guy successfully frames Wallace.
torgr01 and then be the ones to catch the villain and say that he did some of the stuff, but Wallace definitely did most of the stuff he was framed for
@@torgr01 1: Drink outside tavern.
2: Get absolutely doused and wander about the town.
3: leave parnast. Things will go as they should. And the brew that the tavern sells has a limited run.
You fool!
Step 4: The townsfolk find the hidden body
Step 5: The townsfolk praise Wallace for slaying him
Step 6: The townsfolk build yet another statue of him
"but it wasn't Wallace laughing at me.... IT WAS GOD!"
The reason the party hates Wallace, is the same reason everybody, universally hates Scrappy Doo.
I don't hate Scrappy Doo
@@zSteve1231 yes you do
I hate this thing you say because I like Wallace and Scrappy. Yes it's because they bring others mental pain but still. 😁😈
Characters that are useless but keep insisting on doing things they clearly can not do and have to be bailed out by actually competent people are annoying.
Like Season 1 Elizabeth from 7 deadly sins. Zero skills, zero training, amd she doesn't even have the sense to stay out of the way when her legendarily strong friends are fighting people who they struggle with, and instead force them to cover for her dumb decisions for half the season. Thankfully she learns eventually, but its infuriating.
if my dm would have set this adventure, wallace would have died by my frickin hands
I would have rolled a monk to specifically strangle him. Strangling is an unarmed attack yes?
i'd say it's a grappling attack, but yeah, i'll allow it
"All that's left is to kill Wallace, and take back summer."
Oh, my charakter doesn't like to get his hands dirty,
so he would have definitly used one of his knieves!
Just punch him in the troath, repeatly
ahh i thaught that the NEW player would say: " ok now i know why you hate him" at the end.
End: By Careas Name i never had so many likes on a Comment, thank you all.
They probably did
And now any other new players will have this handy shortcut guide to "Why Wallace must fucking die."
The new guy helped me protect Wallace. My PC was the ranger who's bear Wallace "caught" (aka wizard bear). Lol.
But why were you defending him? I thought the hatred of little Wallace was universal for the older players.
@@jocelynshelley9585 I feel like this Teifling is going to end up as one of the main villains of the campaign...he seems a bit unhinged and murderous.
Much of the reason I subscribed to this channel is because you remind me, mostly through your tone and vernacular, of a friend I lost a few years ago due to age and illness. His frustration with bad storytelling and awkward characterization is reflected through in your stories, man, and his hatred for the former really shines through here.
It's been five years since I drank, but I had a shot of Sazerac upon hearing this story. It was like I heard Dave's story about Irena during his first run through Ravenloft, for the first time.
Truly sorry for your loss my guy
4:18 I totally expected him to say "I think you're bluffing.."
It's like Wallace is Spongebob, and the adventurers are a party of Squidwards.
And you just described an awesome new television show premise.
Revenante
Spongeons and Dragons
...Might need to workshop that title...
No idea for title yet, but the Squidward character will, of course, be the party's healer, who has to patch these idiots up when they stumble into danger.
Better yet, make Squidward the bard. He can still heal and it works with his character "playing" that Clarinet
Everyone that I've ever DMed for would instantly say "Yeah, I'll just take my sword out, roll initiative and fight this annoying character."
And then the annoying npc turns out to be a level 20 fighter with a +3 sword and armor.
I backhand the kid... I also divine smite off the backhand
I use blindness to blind him....then i burn him alive and eat his cooked corpse
Well than you'd have to change their alignment for them, or have the town revolt and attack them for attacking the innocent, or even worse DIVINE INTERVENTION!!!!
@@ATFPredator nah, it is a favour to all humanity to eliminate Wallace
From reading the comments, and personal experience, some folks want glory, and will kill for it. Wallace really tests a player's ability to be humble.
Oh God, this was funny! You're a devious DM, Ben. I don't think the module included that last part where Wallace is praised again and had a statue built in his honour.
Second statue*

... trying to figure out if you are trying to start a fight or just bad at english.
@Rafael Calmon I think they're trying to start a fight considering they took the time to enter in the name correctly.
CreeperTheMedicMain That doesn't mean anything. When I reply using my phone, it automatically enters the name.
Careful guys, unlike d&d trolls, internet trolls are empowered by flames.
I'm convinced this is a Villain origin story lol! You are going to drive your poor party to the side of evil complete with an Armageddon spell and schemes for world domination .....and in the end Wallace will foil them! I don't know how but he will! Rofl!
Or just a very, very specific spell made to lock on to wallace and cause him eternal suffering

So like, the red devil dude, his eyebrows change color and style so often, you could make a drinking game out of it.
it's magic, you ain't gotta explain shit
I had to watch that episode again just to see, 2 minutes in I wouldn’t be able to stand up.
"I don't think i ever saw a villain be hated this much"
That's it guys. We got a new gold Standard.
The party was simply jealous that they could never measure up to the might and cunning that is, Wallace. You try to frame him, your in for a world of hurt.
Lmao, that new character was me! These folks hated Wallace with a passion and I didn't understand why lol.
tbh, me neither, the tiefling player seems like a total jerk in both videos
I would roll a True Neutral character and eventually fight the Tiefling.
Lol I'm not sure if it's been revealed in the videos yet, but they told me it was because he got them into a trap and yet got all the glory when he didn't do anything. A lot more happened in this adventure too but I can tell he's focusing on Wallace. But Wallace was a lovable goofball, I had no qualms with him lol
It's because Wallace exists to get into trouble and make things harder for the party... then gets all the rewards.
Watch part one and you'll get a pretty good idea of why they hate him.
"I'm willing to go anywhere as long as we're not going to Parnast. I swear to God I just want to be as far away from that place as humanly possible."

That just killed me!🤣

The comment below. This has more likes than this
You know, that actually gives me a great (terrible) idea for an interesting (trolly as f*) campaign where the party has to work extra hard to prevent the villain (not a villain) from taking credit for their actions. Make the villain (random npc) strong and very lucky with high charisma and social status so they can't just kill him, then have him show up after a random number of days since giving the players each quest. Should they act quickly or think ahead, they get the reward. If the dawdle or fall for some traps, they will find the villain (good character) has already defeated the boss and claimed the reward. Just enough to add some risk without just adding more enemies, and maybe some entertaining aggravation.
As a dm i applaud your ideas. Mind if i borrow this and run with it.
You know it will just end in the NPC's to killing them if it gets out of hand right?
*GENIUS*
NICE idea xD Thanks, dude
And If they don’t show up in time, it starts a assasination plot where they have to assasinate him president style.
Townsfolk: "praise wallece!!"
New Player: "Ohhhhh. Now I get it."
Wallace: breathes
The party: S H U T U P W A L L A C E G E T B A C K I N Y O U R D A M N H O L E
I REALLY wanted you guys to team up with the villain and frame him. The sort of on-the-spot plot subversion is one of the best things about tabletop games.
Wallace is our overlord now
*(readies Fireball to be triggered when Wallace will be the only target, then sends the exact same letter to Wallace again)*
Is there a part three to this? Where Wallace takes credit for stopping some snake cult and then the town literally builds a temple to him and make a religion around him. The town of Parnast worships the Hero-King Wallace and are all Wallacists
Followed by the mysterious burning of Parnast, where not a single survivor remained.
maybe the final part will come during
spoiler
the siege of parnast, when Bad Fruul’s army of orcs, giants, manticores and ogres and stuff come and the party uses all their resources and alliances they forged to drive them away
and somehow Wallace gets all the credit...
end spoiler
meybe villain recruit king lonchanks he beat wallace before
Aaaaaand the players played temselves. Genius.
Wallace is an absolute sweet roll in my opinion.
Wallace the "hero by accident" (TM).
I was expecting the players to just kill the new party member so that they could frame Wallace
One time during a campaign, my party and I are discussing our findings with a halfling at the tavern about a temple of the God of sun and the halfling was keeping secrets (I rolled to determine his motivation) and the dm told me that the halfling was indeed hiding something. I notified my party and then our ranger comes in and just stats beating the crap out of him and yelling at him in the middle of the tavern. Some of the patrons left the bar in a hurry and the interrogation continued. But I pointed out that committing assault in a town was a great way to end up in jail. So everyone reaches the same conclusion that we have to get out of there. So we tie up the halfling and just up and run out of town only to learn that the town had no guards and beat downs in the bar were actually very frequent. But we didn't learn this for a long time. So we keep the halfling prisoner tied up in the bag of holding and we snuck back into town needlessly to complete our objective. We found the map to the temple and it was a 2 week journey away by carriage. We walked. So we adjourn the adventure there and when we came back the following week to play again we reach a large city and head to the guard tower to search for local bounties and quests. Our dm tells us that a foul odor has been following us. We go to the church to be blessed by the priest as we believed we were getting followed by demons. The odor did not leave. So we completed a bounty. Threw the body of the bounty into the bag of holding and returned to the guard tower. We dumped out the contents of the bag only for the halfling's rotting corpse to come flopping to the ground. Needless to say, the guard wasn't happy. He attempted to arrest us, We didn't get paid for the bounty and a bounty was placed on our heads. By the time we reach the next city, we were in disguise only for our previous bounty to come falling out of the bag as well. Same thing happened. We came to the conclusion that the bag of holding is a bad place to store bodies.
Pokemon Master
Why did you put the second one back in!?
Was it lack of air or lack of water that killed him? Did you think time was stopped inside a bag of holding?
No one thought to say, "That guy? Yeah, that's another bounty we have to collect on. Definitely. 100%. Evil halfling..."
No the lesson is that karma will alywase reach you
Lemme go down my lists of responses....
Gogran (Beardless Dwarf Barbarian): Probably honestly respects kid for surviving as much abuse as he does and acknowledge he deserves some praise. Probably wouldn't like him, especially not with that voice, but would probably not hate him as much as this party would.
Siggy Sixfold (Evil Space Pirate, not for D&D, but...similar scenarios can occur in his setting): Probably finds kid utterly hilarious and, while he intentionally would risk the kids life at the drop of a hat for a joke, would probably also not find him worth hating. Then again, Siggy only really hates like....two guys total in character? Everyone else is just either boring or a GREAT joke.
Mr. Nonesuch (Shadowrunner 'faceless' Face [Went out of her way to make it so people would remember as few things about herself as possible, while also making it so people would misinterpret her appearance as MUCH as possible, my only female character and it's a crossdresser who goes by a name with the words "Mr" in it.]): "Hey look, someone I can use to take both the blame and the acclaim, and not have -anybody- remember I was here while I rob the idiot who sent me on this task BLIND." Nonesuch's response to any NPC the party doesn't instantly love. Nonesuch is kinda borderline sociopath though so he's not a great judge.
Gil (Human Invoker): OH FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY WILL YOU ALL SHUT UP. I HAVE HEARD ENOUGH, SHUT UP, SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP. (Gil was a divine ham radio, given everyone auto-loves the Hero of Parnast, except for the most -vile- of villains, presumably he'd find the presence of the Hero a bit akin to putting a police siren next to his ear and then cranking it on. Designed for comic relief / to help GM give party some LIGHT railroading.)
Verbal (Imperial Psyker Telekine): "...I'm hallucinating this right? No? Are you sure? Are you sure you're not a hallucination?" Verbal was 100% beyond the shadow of a doubt convinced that the entire universe outside of his eyes was an illusion, and most of the stuff -behind- his eyes was an illusion. He was remarkably easy to keep under control, never going for anything that looked 'spooky' or seemed in any way 'strange' because he simply...didn't believe it existed, only responding to it if someone actually prompted him to poke it in some manner. Surprisingly most of his best moments happened as a support cast member, doing things like walking out of very dangerous surrounded situations casually (Unstealthily)
So, of my characters I can think of, only one would honestly hate the Hero of Parnast, and that one auto-hates basically any 'chosen by the gods.'
Now I'm just wondering if it's a coincidence that Wallace looks exactly like Absurd.
It's not like they are both self-inserts of the storyteller and therefore use his avatar as a base. They must be *gasp* the same person!
*absurd*
it's *ABSERD*
Well Wallace and absurd don't look EXACTLY like each other absurd has curly hair and Wallace doesn't.
Why thats absuurd, how could you come to this conclusion?! He's not Abserd, not at all
Luv your vids. But when will Trixie Starbright story continue? Pls tell us what happend did she became the president?
Omg yes please
I want to know more about the dragón pokémon with the maglite too! They were from the same game
Seconded!
I use Trixie as an example of 'evil done right' as she had a goal and let *nothing* stand in her way.
Yes! More Trixie!
Oh no, poor Puffin Forrest, he'll have to use that voice again.
Tye bandit being lawful good was the best part.
I love how this represents so many “Lawful Good” players who have an issue playing with “Chaotic Neutral” players. Classic
This so the most crazily railroaded npc ever lol
poor guys
if only you could change the story slightly to make it so walice was secretly the mastermind behind the whole thing, using some kind of mind control on the whole town so they think he did all the work, leaving the hero's in the dirt
YES
In a way he already is
Or what if he's like the kid in "It's a good life" from the Twilight Zone!
Sounds like DBZ's Hercule Satan. About as useful, too, from the looks of it.
@FourElemental Send him to the cornfield
I do wonder what if the villain of this adventure was another adventurer who, much like the PCs, was robbed of his deserved glory, which Wallace got instead.
Something like this: the future villain comes to Parnast as an adventurer to help the place. He hears that he should take a local hero (Wallace) with him as support, since he has already saved the place from certain doom with the support of other heroes in the past. The future villain can't know any better and takes Wallace with him, only to have the same experience as the adventurer group before.
Perhaps the future villain was even part of an adventuring party and Wallace's absolute incompetence cost his comrades their lives. Only for Wallace to end up as the hero of Parnast again, although in the end he didn't contribute anything.
THERE NEEDS TO BE A PART THREE
New puffin forest video gotta drop everything
YUP
Legit exactly what i did
Abserd Vs Wallace. Who would win?
YEAH !! Who would win Puffin Forest ?!?! Game it out !! Game it out !!
No One
Abserd would beat him up, get bored and wander off but drop his dagger. Wallace would stagger home and be rewarded for stealing Abserds weapon
Abserd, but Wallace would somehow get the credit for winning without getting a scratch while Abserd would be run out of town for harming their hero
Are they battling to decide who stays in the bottom tier? lol
In a mutant and masterminds campaign I played the Anti-wallace. I saved hundreds of people from a falling plane by piloting it and the media framed me as a terrorist.
I was a very skilled human with no powers and a ton of bad rolls.
The name: The meta-hater
- "we have to stop him, we've made a horrible mistake, we can't let that happen"
- townsfolk: "WALLACE ! WALLACE ! WALLACE ! WALLACE !"
im fuckind dead, that was so hilarious
This is hilarious, I now plan on running a game with my group where they run into a group of adventures who are out for blood because an npc named wallace took credit for their successes multiple times.
and this is the reason why the party broke the villain out of jail, burnt down the whole town of Parnast, and slowly tortured Wallis family and forced Wallis to watch and then after they died from pain and shock they tortures Wallis as well. then they left town and become legendary heroes. the end! ( the memory the the town Parnast was wiped from everyones memories besides the villain's and parties using a true wish that the all prayed for and miraculously got.)
Better yet, just wish for Wallace (that particular Wallace, mind you, you don't want to erase everyone named Wallace) to have never existed but for your party to remain unaffected by the cosmic retcon.
You'll have to be very specific though, because loopholes will screw you over. The Retcon wish changing the town's name rather than erasing Wallace himself, for example, to make "Wallace, The Hero of Parnast" have never existed... Wallace now being The Hero of [The town's new name] and still having sucked up all the credit for your jobs well done.
So did the villain join the party or something?
4:10 I've never seen anyone so happy. The picture of joy and frabjous delight.
that.... Was the hardest ive laughed in YEARS!!! thank you!! i havent geniunly laughed for so long!! i was actually starting to think i was depressed, bt no, i just needed some good ol' schadenfreuda
Imagine if Wallace was the actual villain and was actually super powerful and killed the team.
Press f to pay respects.
Wallace must fucking die or I will track down they're game with a character sheet and say I stab him through the chest several times
Press F to fire cannons at Constantinople.
fuck wallace
hiddenleafguy Press f to destroy the Turks.

To the tune of "The Hero of Canton" from Firefly:
Wallace, the boy they call Wallace,
He went in the woods and he hunted the stag.
He fought off the treant and the faerie hag.
That boy is adored by all the populace,
The hero of Parnast, the boy they call Wallace.
He captured the villain who wanted to frame him.
He wrestled a bear and he managed to tame him.
That boy is adored by all the populace,
The hero of Parnast, the boy they call Wallace.
Thats an underrated comment
2 years later and I still want a part 3
Please tell me they get sent there a third time and finally get their catharsis.
No no. Let that build up. We need more stories. Five or six more
I want to see the Legend Hero Wallace. The heroes are asses, and should wallow in their own misery. :D
The third time they actually get saved from a TPK by Wallace.
Totally would set the campaign up in a way that this is a possibility. As in, the Villain also thinks Wallace is totally useless but he gets lucky.
I would burn a wish spell on Wallace. "I wish a 300' tall statue of the Raven Queen that costs exactly 25,000GP tilting at a 45 degree angle one hundred feet to the right of Wallace."
Now hear me out. I would have went with Bahamut, but he most likely would take exception to using his likeness to commit murder. I mean Justice. The Raven Queen though? Wallace was immortal. That's trampling all over her domain. That's doing her a favor.
And if I can never cast wish again? Doesn't matter, it was worth it.
though, to be honest, it's Wallace we're talking about. *Something* will happen to save... ah, there's a problem. You specified that the statue is tilted at a 45* angle, but you never specified what direction it was tilting in. Thus, the DM can just have it fall in the wrong direction and Wallace will escape perfectly unscathed. 'Twas a good try, though.
I swear to god, I will call up my Lawyer and engineer friend at 2am on a work night to get a bulletproof wish to kill an imaginary person in a game.
It would work in my group though. If anyone DMing in my group pulled that off on a technicality like that, everyone else would rule lawyer the crap out of him for the rest of the campaign (or session, whenever it stops being funny or we forget).
How about, "I wish Wallace Would die instantly?"
Second Path, you'll just end up with some random guy named Wallace dying instantly, and the chances of that one random Wallace being the Wallace you want dead are slim to none. That said, though, you could probably get away with wishing "The nearest male human named Wallace, [direction*] of me at the time of this statement and bound with rope that belongs to me/[party member's name]**, dies the instant i say so.***"
*North, east, south, or west, for precision purposes. In front of, behind, to the left, or to the right are likely to get loophole'd
**Not entirely necessary, but once again, for precision purposes. How many other male humans named Wallace are currently north of you AND bound with ropes that belong to either yourself or one of your party members?
***This does leave room for interpretation, but either interpretation works just fine. It could be "dies when i tell him to die", which is simple enough, or it could be "dies when i say the word 'so'", which is also quite easy to figure out (if it's not one, it's the other)
I would not even go that far. I would just use catapult to make something hit him and blame it on a wagon striking a pebble on the side of the road which hit poor Wallace in the head and killed him or I could just take him to an armory under the guise of getting him some better gear and just use telekinesis to make a weapon rack fall on him. Seriously those are both plausible accidents. Since I usually play a sorcerer I would naturally have high charisma as well.
That new player is such a fun-block. If he wasn t there , it would be fun to see how far wallace can go with his plot armor.
I honestly love every bit of this I just wish there was more stories about little Wallace and the party
If this was a game that I was in, I would have burnt it down behind the rest of the party's back
Death battle:
Wallace
VS
Absurd
And as they try to stop Wallace, they hear a voice from afar ,,I waaaaarned you."
I've played this particular module, but my party derailed the story so much that it took me a second to remember it.
What a hero! The land of Barovia could use one such as this.
MossyGolem omg yes
When all of your party members have at least one level into bard. The amount of verbal abuse is staggering. They make my annoying NPCs kill them selves almost every time.
Honestly if it were me, I'd see them all lifting him up, and in a calm and collected tone, showing off how utterly focused I am..."I cast fireball in the middle of the group, incinerating everyone."
Wallaces expressions when reading the letter were adorable.
I love how he says: "It was a Deseption!!!"
5:10 and your fully grown adult gold dragon that you use for accounting!
Even now, three years later, we're all cheering for the Hero of Parnast...Little Wallace!
Loved little Wallace so much! My group will visit Parnast in a few rounds, guess who they will met ;)
The person who made this module is someone I'd love to have a totally AD&D nerd-out beer with! I love missions that frustrate the players into laughing begrudgingly at the outcome... I also love dark comedies because they are realistic more often than not.
I'm kinda wanting to see more "Wallace vs the party" (thats what my friends call it)
You make a part 3 that stuff is awesome can't wait until the times people actually found find out that well Wallace has been taking the credit
Your comedy and video quality has gotten so much better man ,
Love your vids !
Say the tavern keeper wouldn't have a rat problem now would he? Y'know, one where it would have disastrous consequences like I dunno, the town being destroyed if said rats got out by a lets say accident?
Somebody listened to a certain narration by Cloak & Dagger, didn't they? Heh.
The fucking tavern keeper has a rat issue
