I second what Max above said, great job, so funny and quipy, cannot wait to see how it will unfould! Also Barnaby is so bloody good at social stealth it's ridiculous (in the most fun and entertaining way possible :))
Loving this new adventure so far, keep it up please. All of the characters are great, so is the DM, he has learnt from the best around. Good job all round people 👏 👍 (Luke has learnt from Johnny if you did not guess it yourself, a class DM in his own right)
I said this before, but it's like Mike has had years of hating rich posh wankers and decided to let it off by roleplaying the richest and poshest wanker of all time. AND I LOVE IT!
That makes a lot of sense.. I have it in my head cannon that Lillith is either the descendent of either Merilwen or Prudence. Which if it is Merilwen then I can definitely see why lillith basically just tolerates him... Merilwen basically just tolerated Corazon most of the time....😅😅😅😂😂😂

As much as I miss not having the whole team, this was brilliant. Ellen and Mike have such contrasting characters and were really able to build off each other. Luke's voice acting is incredible.
Maybe even hear rumours of a grand city of gold underneath the ocean waves, laying still, undisturbed on the bottom of the sea for centuries uncountable, and inside this city, in the deepest, center most bowels, is the remains of a bard... Sat upon a Golden throne. A lute, laid gently across his lap, and a hammer clutched firmly in his hand. And before him stood legions upon legions of all manner of skeletal creatures, watching over him, waiting for any unfortunate treasure hunter to try and disturb his slumber, and face a most horrifying death, and end as another custodian added to the legion.
@@rimurutempest4945 Remember that plesiosaur that Dob dug out that one time?

@jocosesonata 60 skeletons+ 1 flaming skull+ 1 skeletal mule+ 1 skeletal Plesiasaur+ alot of old skeletons. Maybe if you want to take a slightly sad twist also the other overture members after failing to gain immortality like dob? Given how far into the future blades in the dark is its possible even merilwyne is getting to be old by elven standards if she's even alive at all
I don't really notice until things like this happen, but Ellen tends to play her character a bit more passively, so it's nice when she really gets to shine in a smaller team.
I completely agree, I just hope that she enjoys playing more actively. Her characters by design seem reserved, and that may match how she generally wants to play.
Luke is clearly having a lot of fun GM'ing and i'm glad that this series is continuing. the mechanics of Blades alone make for an interesting watch, but when the OXtras really get into their characters, so much the better
Gotta be honest, I have come to prefer the in the Dark campaign over their normal D&D stuff. The D&D games, funny as they are, have become a bit too much about the jokes, possibly in part due to Luke and in recent times Andy acting as agents of total chaos with no leash. While it's completely fine to essentially make comedy sketches disguised as D&D, I prefer this series as it actually has a good story and interesting characters with lots of jokes instead of having a bunch of jokes, with the excuse of a story bolted around them. This is why Luke honestly surprised me with how well he runs this one. That is not to say Johnny is a bad DM, far from it. I think if he ran this series, he'd do just as well as Luke, but I honestly didn't expect that the person who plays Dob "I breathe into bottles so we'll have oxygen on the mountain" the Half-Orc Bard could be such a good storyteller. I really hope they'll continue this series. Or play some other stuff too, with potentially others doing the GMing. Wonder what Jane would be like running Call/Trail of Cthulhu.
I was just running through my head the types of characters each OxBoxtra member likes to play, and a pattern emerges. Most notably, Mike, who loves to play the liability.
Love Barnaby and how Mike is playing him! I mean... I would straight dislike Barnaby IRL, but he's amazing as a character and it's clear Mike (and everyone else) have much fun with him.
I really like that this format is going to give all the players and their characters a chance to shine through some smaller scores. There are already a few potential crew pairings that I reckon would be very fun, should they happen. Looking forward to Ch.2 tomorrow.
@@thegreatpineapple4425. One of the pairings I really want to see is Ellen & Johnny. Ellen dishing out the puns and Johnny's reactions to them would make for a really fun couple of chapters.

@@appull Uh... Ooh! He has a secret medallion that is all gold, and has a skull on it, and if it ever hits the ocean it'll send an ominous pulse across the sea. Taking the Elizabeth route on this one.
Really gonna enjoy these new combinations of characters I feel like! D&D Oxventure has a tendency to become The Andy and Luke Show for large stretches, so seeing Ellen and Mike thinking on their feet is new and fun.
I know right? In the very first Oxventure Ellen came up with the cleverest plan they've ever pulled off and then gets talked over in basically every other episode.
Loving this series, Luke's GMing and voice acting is top notch and Lilith and Barnaby's interactions are dynamic and highly entertaining. Love both Ellen and Mike's commitment to Role playing their characters.👍💜
Just wanting to preemptively say: I can't believe Barnaby's outrageous plan worked so well/worked at all/failed in such a catastrophic and hilarious manner (erase as necessary)
I just noticed how different Johnny and Luke GM, Johnny tends to become the characters and only drops the veil when he has to while Luke takes more of a outside observer role. I am not saying that either one is better just something I noticed.
Fantastic. I love the lighter tone that this episode took, despite still being about crime. The chemistry between these three is just really enjoyable to watch unfold
To be honest I was a bit unsure about the smaller party, but it’s a really cool idea in my opinion, it raises all kinds of possibilities for different character dynamics. It’s like how in Watch Out when Luke DM’d the moral compass on the entire group seemed to shift quite considerably with Dob gone, which I found quite funny!
I think this smaller episode has really reminded me why Outsidexbox/extra are so charming. They're all so lovely and distinct people that have a lot of fun with their work. I genuinely cannot name a single host that's consistently my favorite, they all have so much personality
Since this takes place in Geth many years in the future, is Merilwen still alive? Cuz wood elves live to be about 750 years old, and since Merilwen is at least 100, that gives her 650 years to still exist in this universe
Also Merilwen's a Druid, so starting at 18th level she'd age more slowly (1 year for every 10 years that pass). So technically (and given nothing bad happened to her) she should still be alive.
to be fair if she were a druid wood elf, she'd live forever (from level 18 on they age at 1/10th the rate) so if she found the last nice forest lake to live she's still got 5k years to go... which is a little sad considering all her friends didnt.
@@smiegto Prudence could have picked up clone and just hung around that way, Corazon is probably haunting Necropolis on Sea, I'd be surprised if Dob didn't bungle his way into immortality somehow maybe falling into the fountain of eternal youth and Egbert is order of the ancients who stop aging when they hit level 20.
I gotta say, I love Luke's characters and voices, the kitchen worker and the captain felt really true. Loving Blades in the Dark as a whole :D You guys rock!
First, I love Mike's Barnaby shirt, it's great. Second, Barnaby being rich is amazing sometimes because, like, there's going to be a day where he has to actually pull his weight in a score and that scene will be amazing.
Okay, I'm only a few minutes in, but I call it now: Barnaby may come from money, but lost it all and is in huge gambling debt. I asume he's hust trying to keep face.
@@rimurutempest4945 I love the underlying implication that literally he could solve the rest of their problems by opening his purse but doesn't because his reality is so substantially disconnected from everyone else's that he hasn't thought of it.
@@testchannel7131 I figure when he says 'it's all tied up in investments" there's actually a trust fund and the family only give him a little walking around money each month.
Luke is doing a killer job- not only is he managing his GM duties, he’s making great character choices (especially voices), PLUS when he does a character he acts to the camera rather than looking at his screen where he sees Ellen/Mike/etc.... THAT is some impressive shhhh!
I do enjoy a permutation of the usual format... 2-3 person sessions give you a great chance to bounce characters who don't interact as much off each other. Well played!
Did Mike borrow one of Andy's goth shirts for Barnaby? It works because it's a fancy Victorian thingy, but the collar is also giving me real vampire vibes.
I love the idea oh viewing short spinoff "gigs" of a couple or three crew members at a time to work towards a greater heist. It reminds me of heists in GTA 5.
I have to say, Luke's voice acting is on fire, watching him playing the whaler captain, the voice doesn't match the face to such an extent it's like he's being dubbed! bravo!
I feel like it is just slightly understated how much range Mike has in acting out these characters to go from lovable Egbert to infuriating posh man Barnaby is truly something
15:33-16:27 just one of the many points that Luke's roleplay skills were so good. Can actually imagine that last bit "Have a drink. Relax for god's sake"
Anyone else want either of these to happen? 1. everyone decides they should just go rob Barnaby's estate. Barnaby thinks this would be a laugh. 2. they learn the ancient artifact they are stealing/fighting/finding by accident bears the maker's mark of M. Channail

I absolutely adore Barnaby. Mike is exceling himself here.
OK... Define 'roleplays', please... I was under the impression that acting like yourself didn't count.😅
Mike is really knocking it out of the park with Barnaby. He's doing an awesome job.
Barnaby is like Corazon if he'd listened to his father more.

The anchor is actually all of the gold that Dob has thrown into lakes during the time of the Oxventure setting...
Better not tell Dob that, cause guess where that anchor’ll end up afterwards. You thought Corozin is pissed now, oh ho ho just you wait lool
It'd be great if they have a quest where they end up finding Dob's treasure of gold.

I have to say, Luke's voice acting is on fire, watching him playing the whaler captain, the voice doesn't match the face to such an extent it's like he's being dubbed!
bravo!
I am genuinely amazed bz Luke’s voice-changes ! It sounds like completely different people, he should do audiobooks...
Luke is really channeling Greengrass from Heartbeat.
I adore Barnaby!
and Lilith breadpilling the ship's staff was amazing
Jon as the outro narrator?! How great is that?
"Have you heard of these things called _unions_ ?" The way I just died.
I feel like it is just slightly understated how much range Mike has in acting out these characters to go from lovable Egbert to infuriating posh man Barnaby is truly something
I think all of these heists are tests for the ultimate gig.
Robbing Milquetoast Manor.
Or Necropolis on Sea. That'd be amazing, ghosts and all.
Luke is such an excellent GM, especially with his NPC's.
This limited crew format reminded me of Commandos, a beloved RTT game from the 90s. Ah, nostalgia....
Luke is an absolute delight, I am LIVING for his talents really breaking out in this series
Mike is 2 for 2 on hilarious intros...I love that he always feels the need to clarify himself
Lilith radicalising the working class is great. You love to see it.
Super impressed by all of you in this one, and really looking forward to Chapter 2!
"Why are you here?" "Money, I need money!" Spoken like a true academic/college student...
Two day premiere seems a tid bit long...they really have mastered the art of anticipation
Made me think today is Friday(Australia time). That’s right I base my calendar around OX video schedules XD
Yes I thought was today.☹
@@ankickin just woke up and was like "It's Friday today, I'm sure Fridays are important" a few seconds later it hit me like egberts mace
@@ankickin same. When i saw the premiere yesterday, my entire scheduld was thrown off
15:33-16:27 just one of the many points that Luke's roleplay skills were so good. Can actually imagine that last bit "Have a drink. Relax for god's sake"
Now that was a great first part! Can't wait for tomorrow!
(Don't tell the others, but these two are my favorite characters.)
I *love* how Ellen as Lilith just introduces unions into this world 😂
This is the best medicine for recovering from surgery today thank you all for being you.
Anyone else want either of these to happen?
1. everyone decides they should just go rob Barnaby's estate. Barnaby thinks this would be a laugh.
2. they learn the ancient artifact they are stealing/fighting/finding by accident bears the maker's mark of M. Channail
Barnaby is my favorite character
Watching this was a delight start to finish, I LOVE all their acting!! Can't wait for part 2 :D
