Them encountering the webs and all their reactions is the BEST thing I've seen in one of these types of streams. XD Also that battle at the end was fantastic.
Omelette is a BEAST!!! I totally feel for Bulmahn here... it's hard to anticipate just how lucky or powerful your players can be when they are at the top of their game. I've had this happen to me before too... a wimper of an end, rather than a bang.
Thats because Buhlmahn is going super easy on them. 2 dryders for a party of 5 level 6 Pcs is considered a low threat encounter. He never puts the encounter threat level above low and lets not look over the fact that Omllete is higly optimized for damage. Buhlmahn should build his encounters so that Omlette can't one shot them and allows for other players to shine. However that might just tpk them... Seeing as how much problems they have even with these super easy encounters.
So the squishy bard tanks the frontline, the squishy cleric right behind her, and the squishy halfling ranger tanks the rear. What could possibly go wrong? All 3 of them just ignored Ikyulys when he said he wants to tank for the party.
I like to to as a Champion/Paladin to take a more commanding role in the party as one should do. He needs to been more forceful and leader like in the game.
That spider encounter is a perfect showcase of why this series needs to incorporate minis and a map during combat. Spacing was so important during that fight and everyone kept forgetting where they and the spiders were that it was made more difficult than it should have been
It's the first time in this series it's really made that big of a difference. Putting quick tokens down in a row on the table would have been sufficient.
You need to break a few eggs (Drow) to make an Omelette. Since the beginning of the game she has been a force to deal with both in combat and role play.
Don't want to spoil it for anyone, but near the end when Linneas reveals a prepared spell, I laughed my ass off! I rewatched that moment like 5x laughing until I choked. LOLOLOLOL!
1- I cannot believe I watched 7 episodes even though they don't use a grid map. I would never agree to play a game that never used grid map combat. It is a testament to both the GM and the players that they kept me as interested as I have been to keep watching. 2- I have to emphasize again, I am impressed by the GM. 3- I have to say some of the character voices have gone a long way in keeping me listening in the background as I take care of tasks. 4- It was ad great to see the war priest player flipping through the book as he searched for rules. While I admit I do like to use a tablet during games, we must keep our skills searching through books alive!
Small correction for mirror image and getting critically hit: "If an attack roll is a critical success and would hit one of the images, one of the images is destroyed and the attack roll becomes a success against you."
what was the quote? "take my big rod!" LOL. Love this group! Loved all the excitement towards the end - I couldn't stop myself from gleefully giggling!
From other games I have watched it seems to me that this is normal when you have more females than males playing the game. The Champion (Jeremy Steven Walker) dice roles are so bad that I can understand some of his tumidity , but I think he is by nature non-aggressive. The ladies dominate him all the time.
Leroy Jenkinssssssssssssssss fav classic meme, wild team. real cool looking drow priestess though, other drows too. god i love good tricking plots but that fail had me cracking up this made my day. that fight hype so good
Tarielle if she has paying attention to the peoples stories and events going on, She has one great tale to tell about all this when there done. A tale that may make her own renown as a Bard for years to come.
Finally, I was waiting for this! I feel like the recap is a bit long though. I mean, who would watch this first? Or does Jason think that we don't remember this stuff from one week to the next?
Yeah, the recap is just a thing I've always done as a GM, to help everyone remember where we were and the context for what was about to happen. Sometimes... I ramble on a bit. :)
@@JasonBulmahn I think it's good. There are often important things that might be glossed over or forgotten since the last game. Better to take a little extra time than to have people unaware of where they are and why they're there.
@@JasonBulmahn I will continue to place bets on how long your intro will be for any given session (you average about 4-5 minutes)! I happen to like recaps, and do them with my home group because they're REALLY forgetful, so it's good to know I'm not alone.
the recap is more for the players and the GM than for the audience, i don´t even remember the color of my underpants 5 minutes after i put my pants on. i do my own protokoll during sessions and i also manage the quest log, just to know why the heck we crawled the last 3 sessions (1 session per week) in that one dungeon ;)
fun fact! It's actually Stalactite and Stalagmite, and the EASIER way to remember is Stalactite = Ceiling; easy to remember because of the C in it and Stalagmite = ground; easy to remember because of the G
I am most certainly loving Rachel's reactions as her character Linneus has the right preparations and dear gods, Gina's Omelette is cracking drow skulls like they were eggs! Yes, pun most definitely intended there. I can hardly wait another week for the conclusion to this epic tale of mid-low level characters being pushed past mediocrity and well into legendary status.
How do i grapple someone? lets say my fighter rolls 22 in Athletics total. Now my enemy has fortitude 7. What am i supposed to do now? Roll for him and add 7 to his roll and than compare??
walking single-file, underdark adjacent. I'd make sure each had a hand on the shoulder of the one in front of them, so that if one 'vanished', the next in line would know. :)
I assume your husband is your gm, not a terrifying spider creature which you're afraid will learn new tactics for attacking you in your spider-cavern-dungeon-home
The party having a long discussion about what to do next, not being quiet, next to a room of chanting drow... Nothing can go wrong..... The GM is very lenient about all the loud discussion not getting them killed outright
I get where you're coming from, but these people are entertainers, and I'd rather see them excited than "softly whispering". Plus, if the drow are chanting, they're clearly distracted.
@@franksinatra2530 I just found it amusing that they have this highly charged and non-quiet discussion right outside an open room full of enemies. I kept seeing in my mind's eye the drow listening right on the other side of the door and taking notes. I know they are entertainers and they do a great job of roleplay and I am tuned in every week because I enjoy it all. Just occasionally something like that strikes me as something I would get roasted for doing in my home game. I thought they then did a great job overcoming the drow.
@@seanofl I do have to agree it was funny. And honestly as a DM, I maybe would've actually had the drow more aware of them :) But it was so epic that I probably wouldn't.
Don't know if any of them have played Pathfinder before but Erika and Rachel have played D&D on the show "Girls, Guts, Glory" and have guest starred on "Dice, Camera, Action". Gina has been on other Geek and Sundry shows. Don't know about Aki or Jeremy
Barbarians do a lot of damage but has poor defense and lack flexibility. Reason Omelett also do very well compared to the others is her magic weapon but also her agressive play style.
@@jurgen4466 I disagree, i'm comparing the other classes roles to Omelett. The ranger attacks did almost no damage at all, but did ok as a guide. The paladin even when fighting undead did almost no damage. I can understand when fighting other things if the barbarian did more damage, but I don't think anyone should out damage the paladin fighting his specific foe. As a tank he always got hit and went down. Enemies at lvl 6 with +15's to hit didn't help at all. As a matter of fact the numbers seem a little inflated at level 6, even more than the first edition rules. That means math for the sake of math. The bard did a little buffing, but really nothing in combat. Even the clerics heals seemed a little lackluster. Medicine was used a lot, but is that something all classes can use or is that a cleric specific thing?
Charles Williams Omelette is doing damage because her weapon is Striking, no one else has that in their weapon (except the Ranger’s staff) so she is doing two dice instead of one. The Champion is designed to prevent damage not do it, but he rarely remembers he can prevent 8 damage per hit once a round.
He can literally do nothing else with his reaction. He's one of only two members of the party who even has a reaction. Pathfinder is not a solo game. He can prevent 8 damage a turn if he's working it right. That keeps his party up and saves resources and actions for the entire party.Also, Omelete does 2d12 +4 damage, up to +6 If she is raging, He does 1d12+4 damage, up to +6 if he attacks the last person who attacked him plus 1d6 if it's an undead. The only reason Omelete does more damage is she has a +1 Striking weapon while he has a +1 weapon. I've read the rules, have you?
It would be nice if the players were more familiar with the campaign setting. I’ve enjoyed the series, but these guys clearly don’t know much about Golarion.
Even though he described it wrong, it is still useful the way he did. Instead of 5 people having to not roll poop, you only need to make sure the least of you doesn't roll badly. 1 hero point for a reroll takes care of everyone. The action they were doing, Follow the Expert, grants a bigger bonus than Jason mentioned.
'guttural'? drow? they're still elves, man. the word you're looking for is 'harsh'. creatures speaking 'guttural' won't last long around drow. they don't tolerate that sort of thing unless they absolutely have to...and they very rarely have to. considering a certain other aspect of their culture, I think it quite likely that Drow language is every bit as melodious and smooth as that of topside elves. if a tad more Harsh at times.
Hans Olav Well Golarion Drow are different from Faerun or Eberron Drow, not to mention the driders had spider mandibles so who’s to say what sounds they would or wouldn’t make.
Is there a reason the recap needs to start from the beginning every time? Just recap the previous episode or skip it altogether. If by episode 7 of 8 you haven’t hooked the viewer into binge-watching all the previous episodes, you have failed as a web series, so why bother?
I do think it is very cool to watch this adventure series with one of the game creators as the GM. I love that he is running this game. Fun to watch.
Main reason I started watching hahaha

He should also use pawns for initiative order like he does with oblivion oath. We won't have accidental turn skips that way.
It's the first time in this series it's really made that big of a difference. Putting quick tokens down in a row on the table would have been sufficient.
As someone with arachnophobia, this ep had me pissing myself with laughter at every reaction XD
Me but the last episode (ophidiophobia)
OMG the beginning of the bridge scene was HILARIOUS. What are the odds of getting FOUR arachnophobes in a party of five?
Omelette the unstoppable killing machine! :)

Michael Sowards Omelette is my favorite 😆
I'm at the part where she missed 3x lul.
Well if she starts connecting, she'll do
Skip to 8 minutes to start the adventure first 8 minutes is a recap.
Wow what a crazy fight there at the End. The Monsters didnt stand a chance at all!
Don't want to spoil it for anyone, but near the end when Linneas reveals a prepared spell, I laughed my ass off! I rewatched that moment like 5x laughing until I choked. LOLOLOLOL!
38:15 actually if you cast light on a rock you can cover the rock to reduce the light emitted, it's helped a few times
So freaking awesome!
And the party finally starting to grasp on mechanics and use bit more of their tools.
I'm pretty arachnophobic but the delight that Jason had describing the events of the bridge cross & making the gang squirm was hilarious.
😂😂😂
The word pictures are so vivid I was shaking on that web with you all.

I love how much they lost it in the face of spiders! 😂
Geek & Sundry, great video! Jason is a great game master! Enjoy your Tuesday! 💯🙏🙌
This has been really fun to watch along side while ive been playing Kingmaker. Rolled a Sword Saint in that and loving it so far!
Sword Saint! Same. Great class.
Small correction for mirror image and getting critically hit: "If an attack roll is a critical success and would hit one of the images, one of the images is destroyed and the attack roll becomes a success against you."

giggling? Like a little girl?
Omelette is an absolute monster hahaha!!! Such carnage!!!
that tower fight was the craziest thing I've EVER seen in a TTRPG
Was waiting for this to watch on my commute to work! Love this cast
Don't watch and drive! :P
Everyone besides Omelette is way too skiddish in melee combat.
Ichulus lacks aggression.
From other games I have watched it seems to me that this is normal when you have more females than males playing the game. The Champion (Jeremy Steven Walker) dice roles are so bad that I can understand some of his tumidity , but I think he is by nature non-aggressive. The ladies dominate him all the time.

I'm in the "spiders are adorable, snakes are beautiful" camp, so I shall defend the rights of spiders to do their beautiful webbing :D
Aye, but Dryders are a special case 😃
The last battle was absolute madness!!
Spider chamber?! Holly Krull vibes! Heck yeah!
When Omelette is dodging I can only think of Ultra Instinct Goku.
Nice thing about bards is inspire courage is always a good use of a random remaining action.
Where’s flando when you need him
Arrggh! I can’t wait a whole week for the last one!
Great show! Lots of fun. What potion did Omelet take? Mist form?
