Nova’s speech is such a testament to how well she embodies a character. Very few D&D players I know of can deliver that speech as well as she did. Legit perfection
Kim’s speech in this episode was amazing. I had goosebumps just listening to it and imagining a tiny Nova in front of a hostile crowd. The title Champion of Aerois barely does Nova justice. After this, *I* feel like a child of Vortinssar!
Can't wait to see Tom's reaction to all of this. Here's how I'd imagine it'll go; "You put Quill in a box!" "... yeah..." "But you did remember to feed him on time, so it's all good."
I love episodes like this cus Kim just freaking shines. [spoils] The speech is, of course, incredible but what really tore at me was the desperation of Nova crying out to be believed as the battle swallows her plea and the situation just devolves. Like, that was heartbreaking.
I love that for all their high leveliness, the most certain and assured foil to the group is any form of cloak and dagger operation, stealth or deception, they can't do it all
Not even Hadar gives me as much anxiety as this party attempting to stealth a mission xD This whole time I was thinking they should put everything into that speech, get a nice riot going and let the angry crowd destroy the devices or something, do the things they can't do alone even as heroes. The speech was awesome, too bad it wasn't enough. Can't wait to see how this all turns out. Down with #shamsara!
With all the very hilarious things that have happened this campaign, I think I finally hit the first time I've laughed out loud while watching at work after Trott decides he doesn't need to hear any more costume descriptions.
Very good speech, well delivered. Wonder if Kim rehearsed that one? :p In these cases, I always think about that line from Batman V Superman, where Bruce says even a 1% chance that something goes wrong has to be treated as a 100% certainty, because the stakes are so high that nothing less than absolute certainty can be accepted. I like that Nova touched on that in her speech, mentioning the devices are untested and stuff. Edit: aila has the strength to throw a coin with enough force to kill a commoner instantly. God damn.
Honestly, you gotta respect the Stormchasers: No matter how much they fail at stealth missions, they keep trying, and that's called TENACITY! Kinda spoilers under the cut: This has got to be one of the most insanely unique and fun encounters, starting this series I would have never guessed they would be infiltrating a propaganda kpop star's concert to stop them from exploding the entire city.
This was an amazing episode, especially major props for Kim and her incredible speech ❤But some people need to be convinced with the argument of strength...
I like how Mark makes harmony the character of progress for progresses sake, generally is not a good idea because blind ambition without the consent of the people forms repressive and generally dictorial rulers
You'd think at some point one of them would just say to the camera "Shansara once left us to die in space after we caught her performing horrific humanoid experiments on Tritons. Also her literal title is 'Propaganda Specialist'"
I have just started the video but my stomach is cramping because they either succeed or ALL OF VORTINSSAR IS FRICKING DESTROYED WITH EVERYONE IN IT!! Edit: NOOOO!!! I HAVE LIKE A MONTH OF STOMACH CRAMPS AHEAD OF MEEE!! Why must I suffer Mark? Why?!?!
Hmm wonder if the villians master plan is to trade the town for power from hadar. It seems based on the dark sentile robot things that hadar will grant power to those whom feed him and these forces do follow another villain whom thinks her current leaders plan will fail to stop hadar, which in turn means they're looking for a new alliance. Siding with hadar would probably grant them a bonus of power that they seem to crave?
I know it's mega late, but lost concentration on a 3rd level spell and 21 damage is a lot, even for an 18th level sorcerer, since there's an addendum to the being knocked prone while flying: "unless... it is being held aloft by magic, such as by the fly spell." It's not the biggest issue in the world and probably won't be the end of the party or Lucius, but it will be a detriment to Lucius' ability to take part since he's far away and would have to use a spell slot and action to redo something that shouldn't have been undone. Just something to consider at least for future reference with the fly spell and other things with hover speeds. Good game as always!
Fly does not let you hover. If you go prone in the air whilst not hovering you fall and take fall damage. It also has no clause like levitate that makes you fall safely.
Love this! Like during Brexit where those who wanted to leave were all called ignorant and racist and xenophobic and homophobic and stupid idiots....Kim's speech just wants to share, to explain and speak her truth. This was an excellent episode and as I have said so many times before....love you all so much!💜
Ok I started 3 years behind. Now I’m caught up. What do I do now? Well I guess it’s back to Netflix. Maybe you all can make like a meditation app where you just keep talking about mundane stuff.
Personally I think the speech was not convincing. If she had some illusion spells thrown up showing the destruction or casting zone of truth it might have been better.

Of all the players Kim's character is most like themselves, its not hard to be a character that is essentially you
Kim’s speech in this episode was amazing. I had goosebumps just listening to it and imagining a tiny Nova in front of a hostile crowd. The title Champion of Aerois barely does Nova justice. After this, *I* feel like a child of Vortinssar!
Yes I especially like the part where she has an issue with an LED ligh..oh wait wrong rant.
And it was off the cuff
Can't wait to see Tom's reaction to all of this. Here's how I'd imagine it'll go;
"You put Quill in a box!"
"... yeah..."

This whole arc would be an AMAZING assassin's creed/metal gear-esque stealth game. I would buy it in a heartbeat
With all the very hilarious things that have happened this campaign, I think I finally hit the first time I've laughed out loud while watching at work after Trott decides he doesn't need to hear any more costume descriptions.
This is the first time tom hasnt made it since aerois started
This episode really shows Kim’s development as a player since she started playing Nova
Nova's speech was incredible. Easily top 3 moments from the entire campaign. Just wow. I' m so freaking proud of how far she's come 💓
Very good speech, well delivered. Wonder if Kim rehearsed that one? :p

Such an awesome episode with the usual chaos. The finale with Nova's speech (and bunnification) is in the top 10 High Rollers moments for me!

Oh my god Kim that was a fantastic speech.

Shansara singing gives me FFX-2 '1000 Words' vibes
I am so glad I am now catching up on them because I don't need an agonizing time to the next episode
Immediately entertaining, as always super entertaining and inspiring 🙂
Seems like the group never really wrapped their heads around the “blades in the dark” mechanics. Those flashbacks can be super valuable.
You'd think at some point one of them would just say to the camera "Shansara once left us to die in space after we caught her performing horrific humanoid experiments on Tritons. Also her literal title is 'Propaganda Specialist'"
Excuse me while I sob hysterically at novas speech
And this is why we love you Kim!
I have just started the video but my stomach is cramping because they either succeed or ALL OF VORTINSSAR IS FRICKING DESTROYED WITH EVERYONE IN IT!!
Edit: NOOOO!!! I HAVE LIKE A MONTH OF STOMACH CRAMPS AHEAD OF MEEE!!
Why must I suffer Mark? Why?!?!
I have been told I will cry. Please don’t make me cry too hard.
Excellent, love you guys ❤️ Kim, you killed it this episode!
Man, Quills rp was so Immersive today! Never I have been reminded that Quill was a Birdman. So much charazation Canon is one episode!
red in primordial is *sound of roaring flames*
Shansara (is that how you spell it?) reminds me of Ember from Danny Phantom. The way she draws power from her fans to fuel herself
Tbh that WAS a bright LED
i have not seen the episode yet, but that title gives me dread, is the kind of title that hides a tragedy, i hope im wrong
Honestly what surprised me more in this episode is that Mark plays Tau!!
Hmm wonder if the villians master plan is to trade the town for power from hadar.

Hehehoho I'm super excited for how this episode goes horribly wrong!
Thank you highrollers
1:04:26 Is there a ballpit, Mark?
EDIT : THANK YOU, KIM!!! oﮟo

KIM/NOVA SUCH A GOOD SPEECH!!
Falling only applies to natural flight
The spell lets you hover
Fly does not let you hover. If you go prone in the air whilst not hovering you fall and take fall damage. It also has no clause like levitate that makes you fall safely.
Before I even begin with the video I have to say the title reminds me of
"I am Alpharius" - not Alpharius
Only Warhammer 40k fans will find this funny
No I am Alpharius
Mark has tau, that is awesome!
hmm wonder if quil counts as a lightning phinox?
What are the charges? For eating a meal? A succulent Genasi meal?
That speech tho 👀

Yes yes yes!!

Start the rewatch!
cool
I am Maya Higa
You are Maya Higa
Why is tornado American when nova’s whole family is British
Birdie goes to his first gay bar with a drag show. Birdie never, ever comes out.
Ok I'm turning to the Experts. YOU FOLKS! Any recommendations for D&D PC games that have real tutorials to help you know what the heck your doing.
Personally I think the speech was not convincing. If she had some illusion spells thrown up showing the destruction or casting zone of truth it might have been better.
Wow...those rolls were TERRIBLE.
Just started, Thinking about skipping cause no tommy tbh
This is the 16th comment on this video, there will never be another 16th comment on this video…..ever. I have made my mark on history today.
I audibly gasped when Tom wasn't there 😂
