    I feel like a level up was needed when they left hell. The party know they are useless in combat and could barely hit Gary they squirrel so they're playing on their neutrality to not want to follow the natural quest line. It's still a great watch and Johnny as always is a clever and agile GM, avoiding any obvious railroading whilst trying to move things along, but it's coming across as hard work for him and the guys need to give him more back. Can't help but feel the oxventurers would be making meat grinder traps and preparing for the gnoll invasion by now.

    Johnny: I prepared this well thought out episode for you.
    Fizz: I'm not really interested. None of my business. I wouldn't pick my nose to save any of them.
    Morbos: What he said. Let me sleep.
    Tim: *something something* don' 'ur' Cis'o ... zzZzz ...
    Amelia: ... Jerks!
    I'm not even sure, if this is still role-playing with a bit of derailment or if it's downright uncooperative and disrespectful jerkiness towards Johnny. I mean it is in-character... But still It's getting hard to watch Johnny suffering headache after headache...
    But well, at least, he has now addressed the issue.

      Not to knock on Johnny (he gets plenty with this lot) but the attitudes of the PCs are fairly up front. His expectations and set up don't play to their nature. Sure they're asshats but what good does a tug of war do?

I love spontaneous antics but damn, let the GM tell the story he crafted! This was my first DB DnD episode in a while and I'm a bit bugged to be honest. After Andy usurped the bratty king within 40 minutes, derailing everything, my expectations are low for this Friday as well.
      What's more frustrating is that team EG has the best team synergy, but they're adamant about not streaming because their costumes aren't available. :-\
