I just love extremely scholarly neurotic characters who’ve spent like thousands of years studying a science meeting a sorta unstudied carefree character who offhandedly says something that fully ensorcels the first character.
This always is a sort of trope...makes me think of the "virus" moment in Independence Day when drunk Jeff Goldblum's dad gives him an idea of how to fight aliens on their mothership.
Everyone is having fun with this this but Gorgug did make an empathic beacon of hope to help his friends even though he was in a self induced bad trip, buried deep underground, and in a magical domain designed only to be navigated by following your darkest fears.... And. It. Worked. The mind unburdened indeed.
… yeah someone get Gorgug in some Wizard classes, let’s see if he takes to it. Could probably help studying magic from wizards as an artificer, so you can better understand the innate nature of the spell, maybe learn to think of how to use it more versatile rather than just recreating the effects of the base spell, stuff like that
If I had a nickel for every time Brennan introduced a black female NPC who was one of if not the most intelligent people in the campaign who becomes completely enraptured by a Zac Oyama character who’s intelligence could not be lower, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t much, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
i love hos the conversations between Ayda and Gorguk comes off like two really high college sophomores that have gone WAY too deep into debate for the state their in
Honestly I love the idea of a character who's intelligence is so low, but their wisdom is so high they can sort of see the fractal pattern of reality all their life but learn not to question it. Especially when it comes to transcribing magical phenomena, rather than following a formula to create a result. For example, a wizard might be able to write a bespoke arcane spell to create firestorm with enough time, research and effort. A cleric can have access to firestorm because their deity wields it. A low intelligence barbarian may be able to idly doodle a scroll of firestorm because they saw a forest fire as a child and the weird patterns they see in life aren't important enough to question or concerning enough to ignore.
I thought to myself today I hope I can find a compilation of the greatest wizard of our age and here this is. Thank you universe for whatever sign that led me here
@@TheThreeHeadedDragon Not simply talking raw power but as the ideal Image of Wizard: Kind, wise, mysterious, magical, bit mad. Again, these are just my top 5 favourite. I allow Dr Strange is a sorcerer (even though by D&D rules he's a Wizard).

This reminds me of the episode of *Red vs Blue* where Caboose meets the AI guarding a world-destroying weapon & passes all the tests by being... well, Caboose. Carolina, Felix & Locus all tried to pass the tests & were bombarded with warped memories/personal fears that they couldn't overcome. But Caboose, not having a thought in his head or a care in the world, had a full conversation, made a new friend & was dubbed the greatest warrior alive
Can I just say that the first time I heard Aydas voice, I almost fell asleep from the pure gentle smoothness of her voice, or should I say Brennans voice
This was one of the first D20 clips I ever saw, and I remember having truly _no_ context for who Gorgug was or what it meant that he had cut the rope. I also remember _knowing_ that he wasn’t permanently dead in episode 2, because he hadn’t cut the rope and immediately regretted it yet lmao
Artificer’s don’t get magic from book study technically so...technically not? He uses magic through his tools and mechanical knowledge. (As someone who’s played an Artificer before)
"I desperately wanna please her, so I run even faster" just perfect

Gorgug was really pulling off magical feats that shouldn't have been possible purely because he was stupiud enough to try them

@@raymondfisheriii791 it’d be cool for them to let him make home brew spells to fit into the “greatest wizard” prophecy he got
@@raymondfisheriii791 NOOOO, No classes, only with his unburdened mind is it possible to achieve such great feats XD

Clearly Brennan has a type.
"Arthur Eugufort, are you my dad?"
"I was about to ask you the same thing."
Who? The only one I know is Esther? I forgot about adya? Lol
This made me laugh out loud this morning thank you
But isn't Ayda a bird...

I now want Gorgug to be a philosophy teacher
Gorgug then just appears as one Kristen's spirit guardians during a fight

1= Gorgug
2= Merlin
3= Dumbledoor
4= Gandalf
5= Dr Strange
@@jackmyers8687 Dr. Strange is a sorcerer, not a wizard.
@@TheThreeHeadedDragon Fair point. So, Harry Potter No 5
@@jackmyers8687 Also, Gandalf is definitely better than Merlin and Dumbledore as Gandalf is literally a god.

You are exactly right!!! I totally forgot about him and Santa!
Not a greatest warrior alive, but a TRUE warrior.
This just mix my two favorite genres ever....... Thank you so much
It’s just frogs all the way down man.
Which came first the frog or the backpack
There's a fansong with this that is just a total banger
You can't just say this and not explain where to find it!
@@tomhowe502 it's called The Phoenix. You can find it here on UA-cam by Sig Figs Collective
And also “Night Yorb: Fantasy High fan album”

Ayda is literally the best
And at the end he became an artificer.
Not a wizard
@@happydonkey5333 close enough, shush
A rockstar, barbarian, artificer, AND the greatest wizard of our age? Truly a man of many hats
Never get tired of this bit 😂😂😂😂
I’m kinda sad that he took a level in artificer cause that means he broke his promise with Ayda
I think he got artificer by doing stuff not reading. Which I think is nice since he is like his adopted parents.
Artificer’s don’t get magic from book study technically so...technically not? He uses magic through his tools and mechanical knowledge. (As someone who’s played an Artificer before)
He did not study wizardry
He never read a single word of wizardry
I think Ayda would understand his situation with Zelda.
Ok where's Gary Oldman, I know he's lurking around here somewhere.
My left ear loved this clip!
Get better headphones, my audio worked fine
I listened to the this on podcast app and I don’t remember this. Was it cut?
Nope!! Its there!
It's on Dropout
This is Season 2
