This is the dnd equivalent of a videogame lagging due to detonating large amounts of explosives
I once had a massive housefire in The Sims 2, that spanned all three floors of the building. It took TWO HOURS to burn out. Two hours of REAL TIME.
I didn't know my game could spawn that many firefighters. And my sim was frantically casting spells to try to extinguish the flames outside the building.
Absolutely everything in the building was burned to ash, but the walls, floors, ceilings and paint were pristine. Well, it was time to redecorate, anyway.
But, TWO HOURS. TWO HOURS of me frantically clicking "Extinguish" with my non-witch sim and frantically casting spells with the other (Sorry, I can't remember the name of the spell, but it required going through the pie menu, so it took longer and more clicks).
TWO HOURS.
Always install sprinklers! ALWAYS!!!

Was almost expecting the 158 to be the halved amount

"Oh no, I already halved it for you"
I was HOPING that was the case
@@EEEEEEEEE?
the cut to liam is incredible
That's his brain trying to come up with Sam's next character 🤣🤣🤣
Liam just actually died
It's like the fish all over again
He took all of that as psychic damage, NOT halved.

At this point we know that’s how Travis is going to react
@@AndorRadnai The mushroom cloud is RIGHT there. You can’t run, so just enjoy the fireworks
Yes and I’m tired of pretending like I’m not
Liam took the damage in real life
He didn't take Force Damage though, that poor dude was having Vietnam Flashbacks and take taking Psychic Damage xD
He's DED😂😂
Wizard hit point totals, man.
If only he said, "That was halved"
That's what I thought he was gonna say 😂
That's a Brennan Mulligan move right there lmao

Roll dice that aren’t part of the effect for dramatic effects
"You both are completely and utterly obliterated. There is no trace you were even there to begin with."
Ah yes, the "blow up several sticks of dynamite while we stand two feet away from it" effect.
I mean... 79 is survivable...
@@Shade01982 Sometimes sure.
@@Shade01982 imagine if they failed the save... That is... much less survivable
"This is more than the Keyleth one" lmao
And inaccurate!
I remember him saying something like “too many dice to roll” then
Spoiler (for those who don't know):
Keyleth died in _Taryon, My Wayward Son_ after taking over 360 points of damage in the stupidest way possible.
My favorite part about that bit was that at the end of the episode, Sam makes a joke about the same thing happening to Grog, but Liam correctly points out that (unlike Keyleth) Grog would actually survive that situation.
@@divanshukumarmahajan4803 not only would he survive, if he was raging, he wouldnt even fall unconscious
matt had to use a dice rolling app for that one
Oh god Liam’s face at the end lol
Liam was remembering what it was like playing a wizard last campaign 😂
His soul left his body 😂😂
Disintegrate
@@sarahw7790 Liam: God I miss fireball
HE HAD NO SOUL
Travis giggling maniacally as more dice are thrown is just peak Travis energy and I love him for it~
"Hehe I'm in danger." Was the vibe I got from this. 😂
I’m the same. Love the chaos🤣🤣🤣
He was laughing harder when Keyleth fell... Also hilarious
@@deathwrow9652 The goldfish incident?🤣🤣🤣
I love how much he loves bad things happening.
Ashley just being so done with the rolls had ME rolling 🤣🤣🤣. Her reaction to Travis laughing gave me Goldfish Kiki flashbacks too lmao
That'd been an extra 10 rolls for that
She wasnt laughing at Travis. She was in a different spot, so she was actually looking at Matt, referring to him. The next cut you see him laughing.
Ashley just ring so done with rolls… and then he keeps on rolling 😂
The increasing concern of Ashley mixed with the increasing delight of Travis as Matt roles more and more dice really tells a tale of two players.
He's died once already lol
ashley: "oh NO 😨"
travis: "oh noooo 😅"
@@midgetfish6129 impending doom can be a relief when you can't do damn thing
Just laugh at it all 😆 🤣
Bro I wanna do enough damage in a game that my computer says "hold on, I'm doing math."
I used to play a mobile game where we were able to break the number display for damage above the enemies heads because they didn't code enough spaces for damage. It was awesome to see just -1 a bunch of times because you "broke the game"
That's literally what your computer says when it's lagging.
That's basically what happens when you cause an integer overflow in a bethesda game
BG3 when you collected every combustible item in the game, sneak laying down in the entire boss room, then throw candle in
I mean that is essentially what frame time is. Practically everything the computer does is some form of math. But if you actually want the damage calculation itself to cause a noticable delay you are going to need either a massive amount of independent but similarly timed damage sources or damage that scales in a way that is not reducible to addition or multiplication. Because those are almost instant for a computer, a couple clock cycles, and your processor likely does between 2 and 5 Billion of those cycles in a second. It is a bit of a simplification but essentially, good luck :P
The subtitle at the end saying "yes, more dice rolling" had me dying :D
LIAM'S FACE IS ALL OF US
your youtube channel is a time machine of pure nostalgia
LOL! That cut to Liam, completely drained of his soul.
I kinda hoped of a _don't worry guys, we are basically gods_ throwback 😂
*splash*
In fairness, I think Vox Machina was around lvl 20 at that point and Bell's Hells are just barely over half of that. They're not even basically demi-gods yet. XD
@@jonathanhirst6997they were level 17 if I'm not mistaken
They did reference "the Keyleth one"
That whole escape was so stressful but the mental image was so fucking cool at the same time
You’re laughing, he rolled 7 times and you’re laughing
158 damage "Remeber half damage" Matt: "that is half damage"
Liam really took that full damage in psychic form plus a few extra d10 for flavor
There is a certain level to taking damage and it runs on a bell curve. At the beginning of it, you're happy because it's not a lot of damage, and the middle of it you are upset because that's a lot of damage. Near the end of the curve, it goes back to being happy, because you're just utterly annihilated and there's no point in getting upset about it. Taking 55 damage sucks, because that puts you very close to death generally. Taking 550 damage is just funny.
I love this statement so much because you are absolutely right. I would be proud of taking 550 points of damage no matter my class or level.
Had a player set off an actual nuke and teleport 500 feet away with dimension door.
500 feet was not enough. Not even remotely close. She took 672 radiant damage. Took out an entire colony of mind flayers though
“Worth it”
That reminds me of a published module where a part goes with one of the PCs dying through a sucker punch trap. It's cool, it's a puzzle and the PC is restored to life after that. You are actually encouraged to talk with the player aside and tell them "hey, all's going to be fine. You are going to get back, just have fun being a ghost".
A player took like 70 lethal damage, already halved (level 3 so, not many Hit Points going around) and had fun with the whole situation.
Liam seeing god straight in the eyes has me rolling 😂
This is one of those explosions where there’s a flash and no audio for like a half second before your eardrums then explode.
That might be even more cruel than Brennan's avalanches of dice😂
Travis laughing is the funniest thing. To bad they didn't show the other 58 points of damage from their fall from the height of their explosive ejection. They saved on that as well and Sam took 29 more points and Tailisan took like 14 or 15 points because he was raging from fall (bludgeoning) damage from the fall back to earth. I think Sam had 2 points when it was all done.
there’s something truly magical about introducing new players to the game and treating them to their first fireball. i once had 5 players and i stood up at the table, reached for each of their d6s and counted them up one by one in my hand as they all started shouting at me. wouldn’t miss it for the world
"And you had 2 health left, soooo, that's 77 overkill damage and you're BEYOND DEAD"
"There isn't even an afterlife for you"
Imagine if you had a cleric or artifact to revive you but you still owe so much HP from that overkill that you just immediately die again 😂
@@alekvillarreal3470 DM: This resurrections gonna take like 5 diamonds and an entire day.
reckless endurance by chance?
*rolls for another 5 min to increase the tension*
"You take about 12 points of dmg"
I was waiting for, "158 IS half."
Of oooonnnne meeeelllleeeeeeeooooon HP.
That would be perfect 😂
There will be nothing that beats the Keyfish roll incident! Matt had to use an app because it was”TOO MANY DICE TO ROLL”😂😂😂😂😂😂
Clearly he could've rolled 100d6, he just wasn't ready to do 10 lots of 10d6 yet
Waiting for the day Keyfish comes to life in Legend of Vox Machina.
One time that happened in my game, my players don't know about Critical Role and in my mind I was like "no way... NO WAY!!!" It wasn't a goldfish, it was a moth flung by a strong air current, causing 1 pint of damage, enough to end the polymorph and make the player fall, but same stupid situation. I didn't even roll because the number of dice was almost equel to their HP.
Liam's soul just left his body at some point
Now which is more terrifying, your walking through a forest, the dm rolls a d20 and goes “hmm”, or you take damage from something unknown and the dm starts rolling handfuls of d6?
The sudden dice roll is terrifying cause the dm just “I’ll tell you in a moment keep walking” anxiety increases
@@TenohHikari It’s why I love playing high wisdom characters. My lizardman Druid from a while back could practically see through walls 🤣
That's a lot of emotional damage. And it hit Liam hardest.
Wow, you can see the hope just draining from certain party members.
Part of me wishes he had said “that was halved” 😂😂
So much damage. So little HP.
When you need a Bag of Holding to roll half damage...
Liam's face at the end! I'M DYING! 😂
So was Liam.
Liam's dead face at the end is what broke me
"This is more than the Keyleth one!" LMAO
When the paladin crits
When Ira said he had a grudge he went to work and damn so many dice cant wait Thursday
I was fully expecting the “no, that’s halved”
I was waiting for Matt to yell "Yahtzee!" at the end
One Shot Questers?
@phoebegilliland8897 yes, of course ❤️
Liam's soul just left 😂
Liam, your life force is running out!
*First set of roll*
"Its fine"
*Second set of roll*
"Were fine"
*Third set*
*Genuine concern*
Matt: YAHTZEE! *keeps rolling*
Seven sets
seventh set
"💀💀"
Everyone: Half!
Matt: 158 is already halved
I love as a DM rolling dice at random and nodding emphatically at them, especially rolling a bunch of pointless dice in my normal rolls like putting d6s into d20 roles and d20s into damage rolls.
“Hold on I’m doing math.” DMing is the only time I’m ever happy to do math.
when you do a light amount of tomfoolery and get glassed in the process.
That was 7 rolls of what sounds like 5 dice.
Since its so many rolls the outcome should be very close to the average.
7 rolls of 5 d8 matches perfectly with an average roll of 157.5
So the ability was a "35d8" ability.
Since one said “why did he put five down” perhaps it was 7d8 for each one?
I like to think Liam's face was also Orym's reaction to this fucking attack almost skewering Chetney😂 that face is the most "fish who saw something so horrifying it knows it should have died"
Imagine if he didn't get those shitty rolls at the start.
Damn, that's huge damage. Both full and half.
would have been funnier if he did the: "79 damage", someone is like "what is that halved?" and he just goes "that is it halved"
I can only imagine Matt is rolling this damage with only 2 dice at a time to build tension.
Nah, I heard at least 3 😂
Everyone of their faces is sending me!!, its like a moving Rennnesiance painting😂
"Hes still rolling!?" XD the fear in her voice
Legend says Matt rolled so many dice that day he now has carpal tunnel 🤔🤣
maybe 50d6 or 30d10 ?
if 158 was the average roll, the total could have had a maximum of around 300 potential points of damage. since Sam clarified that it was 5 bombs, and Matt rolled 5 (?) times.
the # of dice rolled that adds up to that total could be 50d6 (10d6 per bomb) or 30d10 (6d10 per bomb). Either way, SO many dice 😅
30d10 is I think the highest damage roll in the game. The damage caused by a comet that eradicates 500ft of space.
Touching the Ythryn mythallar does more damage on average-180 (20d10 + 70) radiant.
Was looking for a comment like this, cause I'm curious what die and how many were used.
Matt rolled 7 times
@@Coilla85 perhaps 35d6? 5d6 per roll, 7 times.. an average would be 105 with a max possible roll of 210 perhaps 🤔
we’ll never know but it is so fun to guess ☺️
I don't know the context, but I'm imagining Brennan Lee Mulligan calling/texting Matt later and saying, "I heard about that. Even _I_ think it was excessive." 😂
Thats an aoe disintegrate, ON A SAVE
That's a close to a cliff dive worth of dammagt. 😮
Travis dying of laughter the whole time is so good
Funny thing: I’ve actually done something like this before. I rolled 26d8 for a crit. I dealt over 150 damage. In a single hit.
i tpked a party doing that. i couldnt stop laughing cuz i thought at least 2 of them would survive. nope. they were pissed. we had to reset. i told them to stop standing cone shapes.
I never would have thought the sound of dice being rolled over and over would be something that could instill fear and anxiety. Especially considering the look of concentration on his face as he rolls the dice over and over again.😂
The way things were going I was half expecting him to ask something along the lines of "FCG, do you feel you arm is weakest at the shoulder or the elbow?"
*Hard cut to Liam, who may have *ACTUALLY* died.*
GOoD ThiNg The DamAgE was HalVed!!!
"You take half damage"
The words all players love to hear......followed by the sound all players fear the most, an avalanche of dice falling behind the DM screen :D
I love that Liam counterweights everyone freaking out, but the cut to him is completely deflated 😂
The cut to Liam is the best thing
Liam giving up on life 💀
I was drinking my drink and Liam's face caught me so off guard that I nearly spat it out XD
The fact that he rolled all that physical means he wasn't them to know and suffer just how bad that went.
Because he used a dice roll app for the cliff jump.
wait wait wait. that many dice slapping around for only 158 damage prior to halfing? wow.
That is half
Liam’s face has me rolling
Matt is actually just playing yatzee
“It’s a nuclear explosion,” -FCG (EP 90 which comes before EP 91.)
And... 79 dmg I thought the same thing 😢
Yeah, but... this is gonna look so fucking cool animated!
I love Matt's cheeky grin 😂❤
After fucking around Matt helps them find out
"hold on, I'm doing math" my guys... the most frighting sentence a DM could say...
Grog could've tanked the whole thing and would have a hundred hitpoints left
But he would lose the beard. :(
Liam at the end looked like he’d just taken that damage IRL
how is nobody talking about what would've happened if Taliesin rolled poorly earlier😬
Matt: 158 force damage.
Everyone else: Halved. Halved? Half.
Matt: No, that's half already.
What is it with this many dice, Shadowrun? Aberrant?!
Wow, an Aberrant reference out in the wild.
@@diamondmagus Haven't played it in, uh...a very, very long time, but I have fond memories nonetheless.
Its almost as if mercer thought he was playing 40k for a moment
Where’s the 1d200 die when you need it?
Something similar happened last month, when my players blew up a ship that was carrying 20 barrels of smokepowder. 591 fire damage. Needless to say, the ship captain they were about to fight was no longer an issue.
Reminds of that time on Dimension 20 that Brennan rolled a bunch of dice for damage, and the group threatened to snitch on him to both Wizards of the Coast and Gary Gygax Jr.
Edit: my bad, it was EXU
Wasn't that Lou in EXU Calamity?
@@MrSeagallo Shit, I think you're right. I'm getting it confused with "Put that tongue back in your mouth."
@MrSeagallo Yeah, the start of EXU: Calamity final episode. "Which, would you say, is stronger- your elbow or your shoulder?" 😬
The same thing happened in Unsleeping City, I think during the theatre fight. Lou is the common denominator.
@@pauciloquentflibbertigibbe5217 “what weird homebrew bullshit is this, you fuck?”
Laura’s little grins combined with just how gorgeous she is makes me so happy.
Does anyone know how many of what dice it was?
Half the dice required for a round of close combat in a 5000pts/side wh40k game between World Eaters chaos space marines and space Orks in 4th edition...
(4d6 attack dice per model on the charge with a unit size of up to 10 chaos marines or 60 space orks...)😅
Plausible answer based on averages is 6d10 or 10d6 per bomb. (5 bombs went off)
The amount of times I've asked for fake skill checks or rolled extra dice just to mess with ppl... this makes me so happy lol
