Buck chasing luck, doesn't realize that luck is the friends he made on the way

I'm just picturing it cinematic: he tosses it, the camera pans to show it spinning on its side, slowly landing on Crit as the camera keeps panning to show him walking out of the area
YOOOOO
Edit: That ending has me on the verge of TEARS, excellent job everyone holy hell

See you next episode!
Thank you so much for continuing to do this
For a gambler, he sure doesn't know when to fold em
That's the joke.
"nothing bad ever happens from looking through the portal of madness" Red are you thinking of a certain sad robot?
marvin :)
Or a certain blue fire genasi?
What about that one Time Lord from Dr. Who, you know the one, that hears the sound of his own madness as in knocking in his head. 1,2,3,4. 1,2,3,4. 1,2,3,4. 1,2,3,4. Peered into the hole of the center of the universe or something memory is shotty. The Doctor was fascinated by it intrigued, and the other guy fucking lost his mind and never even realized what had happened to him. That set him on his journey to madness and that's why he does what he did.
OMG you guys that RP ending was incredible!
That “it cuts deep” from Wurd really got me in my soul. Inspiration well earned across the board!!!!
First of all, Jo's range of voice and accents are incredible! This is the first campaign I've seen from him, but I am so impressed and honestly astounded. Even out of the campaign, his voice, cadence and pitch of JoCat and JoCrap is already incredibly skillful and impressive, but in the campaign, the difference of his normal voice, Dozen's voice, Claudio's voice, freaking Eduardo's voice, and the different accents as well! It is astoundingly good. And it makes roleplaying feel even more alive! I feel like I'm listening to Fritz and Wurd and others speaking to totally different people, but it's just Jo and his godly skill!
*Spoilers for the end of the episode below!!*
...
And second, and this is one of the reasons I absolutely love DnD. The fact that the All or Nothing coin was just an item that Buck bought back at Satchia, is the end of the scene where he turns a new leaf, is... my god. Could they have planned it out? Probably, but I also somewhat doubt that. And the layers that one item has to the character is brilliant. Buck is a gambler, that's obvious, and he uses it now and then. But the coin is also a symbol of sorts to his goal, looking for Lady Luck. And him throwing the coin at the end, symbolizing he's given up on his search for this god that may or may not exists, is just fucking beautiful. If something like that was done in a TV show or something, I think I would've clapped irl. But the fact that it happened probably without much prior planning, just makes it all the more meaningful.
I'm sorry, I'm ranting about a coin for god's sake. But I just love this series. As of time of writing this, there is 21 sessions out, and I am so heartbroken because it means I'm about to catch up, and I'm gonna have to wait to keep watching. But even if I have to wait until I'm on my death bed, I am gonna, because this is the only DnD series that I actually honestly love.
And by any off chance that Jo actually see this comment... for whatever reason. Maybe Lady Luck blessed me. Even if this series is the only project you're finishing from this point onwards, I won't lie, I will be very sad and probably cry a little. But don't feel bad because the amount of time I've laughed while watching this series, even though I'm sick and I sound like a seagull, has more than made up for any amount of sadness I'm gonna feel when this ends. Loved ya when you're here, and will love ya when you're done.
Finally! Elynthi returns!
Finally took the time to watch
And buck at the end
Hoo boy
The emotional conflict
I felt that
20:25 I love how they gave the armor clanking the boston accent too. It really sells the idea that they're bouncing alone in this GIANT PLATE ARMOR
(Wurd's dynamic with their lackeys is one of my favorite parts of this stream I swear)
Spontaneous combustion is a joke I make with my students as a TA all the time. "Yo can I trust you guys not to spontaneously combust and stay alive until I come back in five minutes?" I love dozin for that.
Too much alcohol as a hobo will do the trick....
Let's go, another episode of Whaky adventure with the cast of 4 and the DM
Man it’s so weird the fantastic amazing Belkinus and Golden Cay OSTs are not publicly released. Would be amazing if JoCat and TavernCat released those.
And here I was thinking I could catch up on Red's Detail Diatribes.
21:15 Dadgummit chat, don't encourage my stupid DR brain!
You can say "fuck" and "damnit" you are an adult you know. It's so unbelievably cringe when an adult talks like a baby or a toddler unironically and intentionally without making it ironically humorous.
A funny chat member made a Pokemon joke out of Misty Step, Kudos that made my day.
Buck has serious case of Gale, simping for gods
A Nightengale you could say....
I was today years old when I learned that just because a creature is a floating head doesn't mean you can t decapitate it.
Slice it with a katans take of the skll cap
YT wont fucking beat me, if they do they will beat me off.
I have a mental image of panther Laira batting a Gazer around like a ball of yarn.
God Joe really knows how to pick parties!
The battle music this episode was soooo good I want a public release!
Ain't happening.
Spoilers!
I don’t know if this is mentioned, but when the weather witch traps them, she makes them hold an iron rod which is the material component for hold person.
Heart of Elynthi is back people!
NEW ELYNTHI EPISODE LETS GO!
The portal closing moment was GREAT! Red's noise at the description was hilarious. Laira was so badass at the start of the fight with her quick-thinking and action, Buck got some much-deserved anger out, poor Fritz lost her water skin and bed roll, and Wurd is developing his religious beliefs. I'm so invested in this group ♥
I just quickly wanted to say that your show is amazing and watching it and the character buck inspired me to go and create a expanded wild magic table that I thought would be fun to share with others. I would love to here what anyone who sees this thinks.
Wild surge table
--starting at lvl three you have the classic 1d8 table(I did change the damage for 3,5, and 8 though)
1.Each creature of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 1d12 necrotic damage. You also gain temporary hit points equal to 1d12 plus your barbarian level.
2.You teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. Until your rage ends, you can use this effect again on each of your turns as a bonus action.
3.An intangible spirit, which looks like a white will o wisp, appears within 5 feet of one creature of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you. At the end of the current turn, the spirit explodes, and each creature within 5 feet of it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d4 plus your rage damage modifier in force damage. Until your rage ends, you can use this effect again, summoning another spirit, on each of your turns as a bonus action.
4.Magic infuses one weapon of your choice that you are holding. Until your rage ends, the weapon's damage type changes to force, and it gains the light and thrown properties, with a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet. If the weapon leaves your hand, the weapon reappears in your hand at the end of the current turn
5.Whenever a creature hits you with an attack roll before your rage ends, that creature takes 1d4 plus your rage damage modifier in force damage, as magic lashes out in retribution.
6.Until your rage ends, you are surrounded by multicolored, protective lights; you gain a +1 bonus to AC, and while within 10 feet of you, your allies gain the same bonus.
7.Flowers and vines from an alien origin temporarily grow around you; until your rage ends, the ground within 15 feet of you is difficult terrain for your enemies.
8.A bolt of light shoots from your chest. Another creature of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 1d4 plus your rage damage modifier as radiant damage and be blinded until the start of your next turn. Until your rage ends, you can use this effect again on each of your turns as a bonus action.
------at lvl 6 it’s now a d10 table
9.at the start of your rage 1d6 hunting traps spawn wherever you wish so long as it’s within eyesight. Also, as a reaction on your turn you can summon another one. hunting traps use your spell save dc against their perception and escape attempts. The number of traps you may have active on the field is equal to twice your proficiency bonus; they disappear if your rage ends.
Hunting trap
This trap forms a saw-toothed steel ring that snaps shut when a creature steps on a pressure plate in the center. The trap is affixed by a heavy chain to an immobile spike driven into the ground. A creature that steps on the plate must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d4 piercing damage plus your rage damage modifier and stop moving. Thereafter, until the creature breaks free of the trap, its movement is limited by the length of the chain (5 feet long). A creature can use its action to make a strength check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach on a success. Each failed check deals piercing damage to the trapped creature equal to your rage damage modifier.
10.You gain the effects of the enlarge spell until your rage ends.
-----at lvl 10 it’s now a d12 table
11. Your body radiates this strong invisible aura that frees you of your worldly bonds; You gain a flight and swim speed equal to your movement speed till your rage ends.
12. when you hit a creature with your weapon while you are raging, you curse your target with rabid fury. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or suffer one of the following effects (creatures choice):
On its turn the targeted creature must go and make a melee attack against another creature of your choice that you can see.
Target takes 2d8 plus your rage damage modifier in psychic damage
-----at lvl14 it’s now a d20 table
13. Your insides become magically imbued; you become temporarily immune to the effects of Charmed, Exhaustion, Frightened, Paralyzed, Petrified and Poisoned but you cannot be healed until your rage ends
14. An enemy of your choosing within eyesight of you must make a wisdom saving throw. On a failed roll they will have disadvantage on attacks against anyone but you. You can teleport to the spot next to their location as a bonus action so long as you have line of sight. Also you will magically know their location so long as they are on the same plane of existence until your rage ends.
15. You let out an otherworldly scream that sounds angelic to allies and monsterous to your enemies; pick a number of people equal to your proficiency bonus. If they are an ally then they can choose to either be (A)inspired and get a 1d8 inspiration die or (B)soothed by your presence and heal for 1d8. If they are an enemy then they must make a wisdom saving throw. On a failed save they have disadvantage on their next roll and their movement speed is reduced to 0 until the end of their turn. If they succeed then they have their movement speed reduced to half unless they are moving in the opposite direction from you. Afterwards as a bonus action you can pick one person and if they are an ally then they get a 1d8 inspiration die, if they already have one then it heals them for 1d8hp instead. if they are an enemy they must make a saving throw again against the effect from above.
16. Your body takes on a white ethereal property, At the start of your rage pick a damage type out of psychic, radiant, and necrotic, you will now be immune to it until your rage ends.
17. A flaming eye appears on your forehead; You gain advantage on checks and saving throws on a stat of your choosing and have proficiency in all skills related to that stat until your rage ends. If you already have proficiency in a skill then you cannot roll lower than a 10.
18. The enemy you are fighting has a large blue sigil of unknown design or origin appear on the ground 30 feet around them before disappearing from view. The mark then reappears on your enemy's head; When you drop an enemy to zero hp, any excess damage that you deal will magically carry over to the nearest enemy within 30 feet of the person you killed. This effect will end when your rage does.
19. For an instant, over a hundred pale blue mirages of yourself appear occupying the same space you do and attacking your target in various maneuvers and styles. All of them quickly merge together into a single entity until only the most optimal attack route appears in front of you; You now do a critical hit on both 19 and 20 on attack rolls as well as reroll 1’s until your rage ends.
20. Pick between (A)regaining all uses of your rage or (B)gain the effects of a short rest(you may use any hit dice you have to heal during it). Once you have picked one you may reroll on the table.
Numbers 12 and 15 might need further tweaking and testing but overall i would love to hear any thoughts anyone might have.
You want people to read it right, don't make a compendium post this sh*t on Google docs and then Post the link here for people to read, over there. Oh wait you GD can't the minute you post a link ANY LINK YT shadow bans that comment so good fucking luck.
TLDR: Too long Didn't bother to read was too busy drowning in your word soup.
Aaaaand we're back!
Oh praise be Elynthi is back!!!!
After binging the rest of this series to get here, that ending was amazing
Red's one-liner wits and comments give me LIFE XD
Yoooo that ending was SO good
Now THAT was an ending!
oh gods THIS ALWAYS UPLOADS EVERYTIME I FELL ASLEEP LMAOOO
but still, what a great session jo :'D wishing for more AND for u guys' health ^^/
*it was at this moment that she knew she'd done goofed the nine hells up*
Oh this one hurts me in my soul
Didn't expect to get so hooked on heart of elynthi but I literally can't wait for the next episode omg 😭
The good crew and wonderful dmv have returned!😊 praise Lady luck
We love you Jocat, we'll miss you!
YES!!!
Man. I wanna do DnD...
(Going to the start of this. UA-cam randomly gave me a notification)
Welcome
"Why did you fools trust her?"
The same reason people kill an entire grove for Minthara.
Search Results: Minthara? Did you mean Menthol?
I was too sleepy to quietly hiss yes, but I'm still excited for the episode!
Nooooo.... I've finally caught up and now the waiting begins! What an episode!
Every time you upload, it makes my day. 🙂
Buck is the equivalent of a mangey dog chasing a cautionary tale.. if a god does their job right, you don’t even know that they’re there. For faith keeps those who worship on the path. It seems Buck has little faith in Lady Luck if he needs confirmation of her existence.
Laira was incredibly lucky to take just 30 damage. The chances of taking 30 or less damage from 10d8 are 1 in 45.5
Those numbers real or did you make it up for gratification for a comment? I hope those numbers are real though.....
@@BlackMoonHowls I just used a dice probability calculator, specificaly the one on the gigacalculator website and asked the chances of the result of ten 8 sided dice being less than or equal to 30. So no, it is not made up.
I don't know if it's just me but 1:00:14 feels like a Destiny 2 Forsaken reference, and I love it.
That entire scenario just screams the Voice of Riven fight.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEAH
I love this campaign!! Everyone is so rad 💜
1:11:46 of all the things I expected to see in chat, Precure was not one of them
I want a shirt that says " lady, your soul smells like sulfur" classic.
Watching your friend losing themself to an addiction is truly terrible, what if you can't "fix" them? What can you even do?
I love the person in chat chanting along CHOP IT IN HALF, and then when the [redacted] does get chopped in half, they go EWWW NASTY while it's being described.
I love the escapades of Schmoozen and his wingharpy, the Frizzler
38:22 "It involved killing a bunch of colossi, but that's not important."
Hoo boy, this one. Spoilers below.
So I feel like chat was giving Buck a hard time with limited information. The guy had a major lifechanging experience once and he craves to feel it again, to contact the divine. That's a rough situation, to have experienced a high so intense that nothing else compares to it. He's burned bridges trying to find that divine presence again, and yes, his current team won't be waiting for him after this is over. He doesn't have a solid bond with them, even Wurd was only a colleague at best before this whole thing started. Buck's talking about what happened before the pilgrimage, and making a judgement on what he guesses or fear will happen after. The guy doesn't need a priest; he needs a wizard, they deal with that sort of thing by default.
I do have to wonder, again, how much the players and the DM know about experiences like this, or magical practice in general, since it's so often misrepresented by popular media (yet rarely called out as such, weird how that works...). It feels like Buck is meant to be a twist on the wizard who sacrifices everything to get ultimate magical power, but done in barbarian form with a magical rage. Not sure if that was the intent, but it's interesting to see, and eerily familiar. Personally, I've been in a similar situation for a little over a decade now, and it is not fun, though mine was a semi-constant sustained feeling that was ripped away forever (so far), not a singular intense experience. Thankfully, the real life equivalent doesn't require burning bridges, and nobody really notices a difference on the outside.
Start to notice how Fritz often act over dramatic(maybe unreasonable?) in conflict situations (Like with Astropio (if i can remember correctly) or Buck today). I'm unsure if it's Fritz character or Poi influence... But still, love cast and game you provide them Jo. Good day ya all!
Wait, you can get inspiration for being sad? Here I am giving it away for free!
😂😂😂
1:34:00 Ooooh, Stargate-style!
Very Nice
❤❤❤
You gotta know when to hold them. No when to fold them... know when when to walk away... know when to run. You gotta count your money....
Jeez Fritz, good going blaming Buck for a decision you ALL MADE TOGETHER
real
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ABSOLUTE CINEMA
Bro 🙌
1:50:00 Ooooooone laaast tii~ime! [guitar riff]
Ive missed yall, hopefully next ep isnt in a month
Wow. Fantastic RP gang. (claps).
With enough gold (24,000gp) to buy enough copies of Manual of Great Feats, you can increase your ability scores by a total of 40 with half feats.
If snuffing out one of the flames isn’t enough to disrupt the magical circuit stabilizing the portal, then why does it even *need* multiple flames to open it?
Probably was a precaution incase something did happen to one of the flames
@@VeenanNorvius
Fair, albeit a bit excessive.
You don’t build more support columns if a room doesn’t need it; that’s a wasteful use of resources.
@@Deoxys_Used_Mimic its also likely that it needs all four to be Stable. Like you can sit on a chair that only has 1 leg. Its just not going to be stable at all
@@VeenanNorvius
Bruh.
A chair cannot *stand* with one leg; you can sit on whatever you want.
(…and before anyone starts to “um, actually” me, we’re not talking about drum-base swivel chairs or bean-bag chairs or whatever nonsense that don’t even have legs; just typical chairs.)
@@Deoxys_Used_Mimic thats my point. While i use you can balance on a chair even if it has one leg, it just wouldn't be stable
Damn. That weather witch battle theme is kinda saucy though. What is it?
This totally doesn't seem like a sacrificial alter nono (I haven't seen what it does yet)
That MagicalStarFish in the chat is a really big Buck simp huh? It's so funny that they get so emotional when NPC's and people in chat call Buck for his selfishness and bad habits.
