- The Oxventure heroes clash with a strange, shushy cult. What is their deal? Where did they come from? Why don't they marry silence if they love it so much? There is literally one way to learn the answers, which is to watch episode two of this new Oxventure on Outside Xtra, after having watched episode one on Outside Xbox ( • Quiet Riot Pt1 | Oxven... ).
New Oxventure D&D t-shirts available now! tspr.ng/c/oxven...
As the second episode begins, the brave-ish Oxventurers Corazon, Egbert, Merilwen, Prudence and Dob infiltrate the Paladin Order of Keeping It Down. Also, Dob's pet jester Flannery is there.
With thanks to Loading Bar of London for hosting the recording of this session, to our mighty Dungeon Master Johnny Chiodini of Eurogamer, and to character artist Bendix Engmann, also of Eurogamer.

Cthulhu looks down upon Merilwen's Meatgrinder.
"Well, that was a bit much."
Guess he's no longer displeased with Prudence's choice of companions :P
Prudence now has an adopted sister
Cthulhu like prudence you can learn something from the elf
"Prudence, why didn't you think of that?"
🤣🤣🤣
"You're a heretic"
"Maybe you're the heretic"
"No, you're the heretic"
"No, you"
"No, you"
*Every youtube religion arguments ever*
@Pat Harvey no you!
@@britishtwit5233 no, the Spanish Inquisition , the least expected option
Basically the 40k universe in a shell nut
Remember the first time Merilwen fought someone when she tried shooting them in the knee to incapacitate them? And now she bear mauls people and melts them with moon fire. I think she's been hanging around prudence for too long.
It's the Lara Croft Syndrom.
Nah I think kthulu is just gradually corrupting them all, either that or Prudence is secretly enthralling them into insanity for her own nefarious ends
It's a secret but prudence has taken her as an apprentice
Also, I don't know why Cthulhu wanted to drive them insane, they are already crazy
Gritz Someone should point this out to Prudence, she might not realize the influence she's having on Merilwen!
"Does anyone else feel perched on the edge of an abyss?"
"Always."
This show is perfect, I swear.
Do you want me to drive them insane
Dob: I would like to see you try
The origin story of Cicero....he was once the happy go lucky jester until the OX crew came to town, prompting him to join the Dark Brotherhood
Seriously... Damn
And both Sithis and Ktulu rejoiced!
That... makes way to much sense
I so expected him to be the hidden boss that would turn out to be some powerful demon weakened by silence lol
Damn and now we know he's got some sick as fuck dance/acrobatic moves....One finger man!
First adventure: HOW DARE YOU KILL THAT GUARD!
Now: LETS MAKE A MEAT GRINDER!!!!!!
That's generally how new players go
“Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Watch Commander the quiet? I thought not. It's not a story the Adventurers’ Guild would tell you. It's a Keep it Down legend. Watch Commander was an acolyte of the Order of Keep it Down, so silent and so devout he could use the harmonics to influence the acoustics to create absolute quiet... He had such a knowledge of keeping it down that he could even keep the ones he cared about from crying out when they died. He became so proud of his job the only thing he was afraid of was losing his job, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he was caught up in celebration on the capture of a prisoner, and the prisoner asked him to express his pleasure and Watch Commander gleefully shouted to high heaven. It's ironic, he could save others from making noise, but not himself.”
"I don't like sound, it's coarse and rough and irritating... and it gets everywhere!"
No, that’s not true! That’s impossible!!!!!!
lol, you transformed the quote so beautifully!
It's over, Watch Commander! I have the *high notes!*
This is gold, pure gold.
“I rap the entirety of wild Wild West”
Is my favourite recurring gag of the series
"Never let someone roll for something you're not prepared for them to fail"
This is actually really good GM advise
It really is, I mentally noted that one down.
But it also goes the other way around. Don't let them roll if they can't win. Because nothing is worse than rolling a 20 and still failing. It happened on my first ever roll.
@@mennograafmans1595 Wait so you rolled a natural 20 an still failed? Because there are really difficult checks that you have to get a nat 20 for or fail but if you hit it and still failed that is just really dumb..
@@Suztvfan Not necessarily. Nat 20 being an automatic success is a common house rule, but its not in the book. And sometimes a player wants to do something really ill informed and can't be dissuaded. An impossible skill check is kind of a lazy solution, but sometimes you just can't come up with something clever.
Jesse Birmingham Hmm but should the GM just out right say that the task is impossible cause of (-Explain Reason-) and that even a nat 20 wouldnt make it possible
"is there a griffin that comes down if you make noise"
Johnny: *sweats profusely*
At first Cthulhu is like, "Prudence, WTF." And then all the spikes, and the torture with Heat Metal... and talk of "cooking in a thunder wave"... and a "let's place the corpse on the alter in a really weird pose after we strip it but before rigor mortise sets in" happens with Prudence barely having to lift a finger and Cthulhu is all, "Ah well, all right then."
CROWN OF MADNESS! Prudence you have been such a good bad influence! Ia! Ia!
cthulhu approves of her friends!
I strongly believe Cthulhu's influence was at hand in turning them to evil
scorpiñator Prudence is definitely corrupting the rest of the party with eldritch magic. Like reaper indoctrination in mass effect.
I feel like after that encounter with the "shadow' Dob," her "Eldritch mojo" was distributed among the group...
I am not at all surprised that Merilwen completely avoids an epic boss battle with the Power of Friendship. What I am surprised by is her creating a meatgrinder, raining down moon fire, and cleaving heads off shoulders with her bear hands. Surprised, but still pleased ... and terrified.
I think we can all agree that what none of us, particularly not Johnny, were expecting was the boss battle dissolving into a moral debate on what to do with a domestic owlbear. But at this point, I think we should have. When have boss battles ever turned out the way they were supposed to with the OutsideXteam?
Thelving the Wing
Boss 1: Forgot boss weighs about 30 pounds and has no hand to hand combat skills. Immediately gets chokehold-ed into submission.
Boss 2: All minions are removed before the battle even starts, turning it into a 1v5 where everyone involved is about equal in power.
Boss 3: Made of metal and clockwork, immediately gets electrocuted and has its mechanisms exploded before it can move.
Boss 4: Another 1v5, literally no idea what John was planning here but boss gets ragdolled immediately because it’s a freaking 1v5.
Boss 5: Dumb animal boss, forgets party has a player who can charm dumb animals. No fight.
I don’t think John thinks these scenarios through.
George Sears Well, as a wise man once said "No plan survives contact with the enemy." Johnny actually mentioned in a previous one that part of the scenario was made up on the spot because the party made choices he'd failed to plan for. Like with #2: IIRC he hadn't expected them to find a way to take out all the foot soldiers before the fight started.
This one was hilarious though. It's a very Ellen thing.
I love how Johns plans never go the way he expected. That short pause and then the astonished “alright” as he has to adapt to the new situation. Like a brilliant plot twist in a movie.
And the Real drama being the debat in the group wether to sell the owlbear into slavery or releasing it.
I love how the gang goes out of their way to mess up John's plans
@@unscduffman The best part is that they don't go out of their way
“You gotta take out the non combatants otherwise they might become combatants”
Did Johnny just justify war crimes?
You know, it does kinda sound like that.
He went full Canada WW1 era
And it was Merilwen with moonbeam too, the foreshadowing is crazy
Sadly Prudence's title of Most Terrifying person has been lost to the hippie wood elf
who can create meat grinders, cause people to melt like the Nazis who found the lost ark and can decapitate people as a bear if all else fails
Can i just point out that i don't think prudence killed a single person in this entire module?!
Geraint Thomas Sadly I don’t think Prudence got to do anything. More Prudence needed.
TechNoir
She enabled them to communicate with each other!
Basically the tag-line for the druid right there. You can make meat grinders, melt people, and when all else fails, turn into a bear.
Nibbles13 Well, we didn’t get to witness what “Agonizing Blast” can do.
Prudence, "Are they still suffering?" DM: yeah Prudence, "k, just making sure"
Someone talented please, please, please draw a picture with the gang watching in horror as Merilwens Meatgrinder does it’s thing, pleeeeease!
Is Shadman trending nowadays, or what?
Please!
My problem is that I know exactly how it should look: Merilwen looking in wide eyed horror at the carnage, Dob and Corazon either looking wide eyed at the carnage, too, or giving Merilwen the side eye look meaning “What have you become?” and Prudence either rubins her hands in delight or dancing happily in the rain of blood coming from the carnage happening off screen to the right. But I suuuuuck at painting.
Please, Bendix, as a fellow dane, do what I cannot do and bring it to life.
Why would Prudence be watching in Horror. She would be watching with popcorn.
Slew One
Well, i did correct that in my second comment where I go into the details of my vision of said scene.
Dob: I have a spell for this....
me: *Thinks he's gonna turn the guy into a duck or something
Dob: Heat metal.
Me: holy-......is everyone 100% sure that they didn't accidentally bring back evil Dob from their last Oxventure?
That is the most warcrime spell we bards have
Also polymorph is a 4th level spell
i 100% blame prudence for Merilwne and Dob's new murderous tendencies
Cook'n'Book!
Or, as it's sometimes called, Detect Piercings.
Joins college of valor, immediately wants to cook someone alive. Interesting take on the concept of valor
"I'm going to cast, Animal Friendship!"
"Sorry, what??"

@@khamjaninja.
You're not wrong, but remember that everyone involved here, including Jonny, is a novice when it comes to D&D. They're having fun, that's what counts.
@@khamjaninja. i mean an owlbear isnt even a beast its a monstrosity so it shouldn't have worked at all
"heat metal"
The moment the Oxventure crew turn from happy-go-lucky zany adventurers to war crime committing murder hobos.
Ah good ol murder hobos
I like how it’s heat metal instead of the meat grinder that had just happened
@@reaganorton1710 Well, to be fair, they weren't really expecting the meat grinder to turn out the way it did. They expected charlie brown slipping into the air and landing on a rose bush. Heat Metal, just from reading it, is brutal. If going by actual physics the metal heats to 900 degrees Fahrenheit, for a minute.
Prudence obliterated someone in the first episode. They pretty much were this way from the beginning though a couple levels have drastically increased their damage output.
I love how Dob has essentially just been corrupted by Prudence and now he's even more sadistic than her
Edit:
Merrilwen is fine with swearing and brutal murders and Egbert was hugely into exploding a church.
Corazon is suddenly very nice and moral.
I feel like swearing does not belong on the list.
I think the last dungeon afected them in some weird way
Oh my C'Thulhu you're right!
Omg I've just realised it has nothing to do with Prudence - when evil dobs appeared it wasn't just him - these are actually the opposites from are usual gang
@@dragon-kitty *gasp* you're right!
I sense a whole lot of fan theories comming in the future of what really happened in the crypt
My only question now is; Will Merilwen's next wild form be a bear on top of another bear?!?
An owlbear on top of another owlbear?
@@ercERCR an owlbear flying on another owlbear
A normal bear on a owlbear
@Bowen Huang and ends in ctopus
@@mikaroni_and_cheez OWLBEARCTOPUS!
I love the combination of their enthusiasm for committing graphic violence with their horrified responses to each other's graphic violence.
"Who's the best one to interrogate?"
"Probably the one who's alive."
You have to admit, it does make sense 🤣🤣🤣
I'm sure someone will get speak to dead or something like it eventually.
@@SorowFame that's for sure, specially coming from them
@@SorowFame hopefully you've reached "out of order" by now...
@@geraintthomas4343 I’m not sure, I need to get back into watching these.
They kill 10 paladins and save the man-eating owlbear... Another successful adventure by the Oxbox crew! :-)
11 paladins, don't forget the one that died in Merilwen's meatgrinder
Acide950 the 1 from the meat grinder, the 8 out of the 10 in the castle, plus the 1 guard captain makes 10. I may be missing one though.
Acide950 They injured like 4 or 5 others though.
They forgot about the locked up guards again. Who I assume turned to cannabalism to survive creating Geth's first zombie cult.
sounds like an amazing sequel.... DnD: a Brainless mistake
MERILWEN WINS
*FRIENDSHIP*
friendship?
@Prog MetalDeity with just a side dish of (mass-)murder..?
I was disappointed that nobody brought up the idea of just recasting the animal friendship spell everyday. For maximum owlbear
@@giggy7935 It could backfire, since if it would roll defense roll higher than 11, spell would fail.
@@dozzy9984 just ask it to let it happen, minionmancy is op.
Again?
Do you think Cthulhu understands why Prudence hangs around now that the meat grinder incident happened?
It brings to mind the earlier statement "Cthulhu is pleased and lunch is ruined."
Can I just say how hilarious it is that Johnny KNEW that they were gonna steal the gold off of the wheels? "The wheels of steel have returned?" That pun relies on the fact that the steel has been exposed and oh my gosh I love everything about this
16:12
Andy: "I don't think that they should look at the corpse. . . let's put him on the alter in a weird pose."
They 100% forgot to go back for those guys in the office. Let’s add future sight to Dobs list of powers
That's a 9th level spell so who knows, if this becomes a regular thing like critical role he may get it.
Who?
Fast forward a few months and Dob guesses Johnny’s entire script.
I'm almost 20 minutes in and Prudence has been the least psychotic. What is wrong?
Edit: Holy shit, that bear. Merilwen is the MVP today.
She wanted to kill people but that bloody wood elf kept murdering everyone...
I know right? As someone who plays a warlock, make Cthulhu proud. Kill everyone. Eldritch blast the prisoners. Thaumaturgy some shit to go with that bell. Anyways, super fun to watch them play still. Nevermind, just got to the end. Prudence rocks.
Yeah, oddly Pru seems more often than not to be one of the voices of reason on this team, even trying to protect Merilwens innocence by telling her to look away in a previous adventure.
I think you mean Bearilwen.
She's Bearilwen now.
Until she learns to shapeshift into a somehow more powerful animal, anyway. lol
Andy: Merilwen?
Ellen: Uh 23
Everyone: Whoa
Mike: Turn back into a bear
Ellen: :)
Jane: Meat grinder! Grind them up!
Ellen: :D
Luke: Sing to it the song of your people
Ellen: *nods enthusiastically*
Johnny: Merilwen is first, what are you gonna do? There is an Owlbear in the room and two guards that are like Rrrgh!
Andy: "Let's mess this Owlbear, let's **** it up"
Ellen: K.
Ellen: I'm gonna try and cast *camera zooms in* ANIMAL FRIENDSHIP
Everyone: *GROANS*
I would like to point out, that Ellen did not give this away at all. Like, sure, this fits in with her character but everyone forgot and Ellen nodding enthusiastically at everyone's violent solution despite planning on befriending the Owlbear is just absolutely hilarious to me.
Dob: about to torture a guy with sound, made a soldier stab his ally in the neck, made that same soldier swallow the key to his prision cell
Corazon: turned a guy in two a g u y(turned him into three parts), and poked a guy to death.
Edberg: Made a guy commit heracy to his own religion and turned a couple of people to ash.
Merilwen: meat grinder, bear attack, and melted people with a moon.
...
Prudence: casted protection from swords and ALMOST killed a animal
WTF, each member did a total 180
(Funny AF tho)
At least they cast cure wounds on the guy who they burnt.
Johnny looks so happy that the Vengebus pun FINALLY came around
Johnny deserves to get one up on them. They consistently run his plans and boss battles.
"I know the spell Heat Metal"
I--
I... WOW
THAT CONVERSATION TOOK A VERY DARK TURN
Kathy Aird only almost as dark as MERILWEN’S MEAT GRINDER.
@@TardisPilot2004 honestly I rank above the meat grinder because at least THAT was an accident..
i was hoping someone would mention that they had marshmellows after the heat metal started
I don't know what heat metal is what is it?
@@camellights7039 it's basically what it says in the name, it heats metal to the point where it deals damage
Nothing will make me laugh harder than everyone being really excited to fight an owlbear and then Merilwen befriending it instead
THAT FREAKING PUN LEAD UP THO
I am so mad at myself for not realising it.
That moment where I want to call Johnny a bastard and a genius at the same time. I laughed my head off but I was *so mad* about it :P
"Wheels of steel" rang a bell when Dob melted the gold off, but only a very faint bell, unlike Egbert's very loud bell.
He even said the thing was massive - like a bus!
“Hieratic!”
“You’re the hieratic!”
Annnnnd that’s how the crusades started.
No the pope fights
It might be a little late to point out that "hieratic" is a real word meaning "of or concerning priests", or alternatively "a cursive writing system used for Ancient Egyptian", but why should I waste a good googling? ;-)
@@Shadow-gc6le No, it's the TTS Heresy scene.
@@PhilBoswell I was thinking that, but didn't feel like mentioning it,
So when Johnny was asked to DM the Oxbox team I beat he was like sure, why not. They take it seriously right? Twelve episodes later Merilwen's meat ginder.
Master MadMart84
If it works...
That's the thing, this is them taking it seriously and taking the adventure places that Johnny probably didn't expect to go. Which is part of the fun.
Johnny actually said in a previous episode that he had to improvise because they found a way to jump the script so hard that it completely broke. Then at the ends the look on Johnny's face when Ellen's like "I'm going to charm the owlbear." he got out TWO books to look up whether that was even possible! that was obviously not what he was planning for!
Mar Hawkman
The ability to ad lib when your players go off script is an essential talent for any DM!
I once had a player point blank refuse to help someone, which was the story hook! The next few hours were a frantic session where I had make everything up on the spot!
@@Geek-LDS This is the best part about dungeons and dragons. You can literally choose "any action". It's also the bad part. Having a guy develop the results of your actions on the spot while following the rules.
Johnny: They're dead. You're in the corridor with some meat.
Jane: *pleased giggle*
Love that Corazon is playing a pen and paper game without a pen and paper. Damn maverick *shakes fist*.
Also Jane has her character sheet in a folder that looks likes a dusty leather book. Which i can appreciate her commitment to the aesthetic.
"Leather". Don't ask what animal was skinned. Needless to say, Cthulhu is pleased and James the Cameraman is ruined.
Heresey
Holy shit... this squad gets a little bit of power and all the sudden they go from being a ragtag group of loveable rogues to plotting to kill a group of travelling minstrels, slaughtering soldiers with deadly meatgrinder traps, and torturing prisoners with Heat Metal... I thought this was a family channel... my dog is terrified right now...
Lol your dog?? Have you seen my cats?... and my sister.
@@rkbrillant5265 These guys are traumatizing everyone! That's it, I'm writing a strongly worded letter...
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Thing is, it's sort of a Found Family channel! Much more issues. Roleplaying!
"Never make someone roll for somwthing you are not prepared for them to fail" very true! Good words of dm wisdom
Need to add, Never give them new spells that you aren't prepared for them to use in a boss fight.
Michael Magee and must add, don't let them spam them without consequences...
Funny story, the paladin for the curse of strahd game I was in asked the dm if he could roll to find a stick. The dm jokingly said yes. So he roll for it, and nat 1. So he looks around and cannot find a stick. We were in the woods 😅.
@@bookworm3696 well that's just a funny thing, since it sounded like a simple request you can just have the failure super simple and funny
@@bookworm3696 Jeeze... My sides hurt, I can't breath, How the Fuck? This is the best thing I've read all year.

>Merilwen is first
>I'm expecting a dope bear v owl bear fight

Classic Merilwen
"I cast Heat Metal on the gold" In other words, the wheels of steel are burning, nice backstory-based RP, Dob!
"The wheels of steel are *turning* and traffic lights are *burning* "
I just love the world building. It's both comical and "simple," with the name of the order being "the order of keeping it down." But it's also really detailed, with things like the "passwave" and the announcements with large cloths. Even stuff like the stealth being super easy, since they won't alert others even when attacked.
It's interesting world building mixed with super on-the-nose writing. I wouldn't have imagined such a combination would work so well, but it's both fascinating to learn about this "quiet town," and hilarious to see the goofy order.
Merilwen’s Meat grinder.... well we know where all that human jam came from now...
(@_@)
What jam?
I thought that was Jane's doing
@WiseGirl127 it's a good business opportunity, (after our "good guy" adventuring party comes to town), and I'm guessing, another side venture/source of revenue for Corazon?
Dob: 8
"You're doing amazing sweety" 😂😂😂
That punch line was well worth waiting for. Can't wait for the next adventure
What was the joke? I don't get it
@@theCoziDoz fyenga bus sounds like venga bus which is from a song called we like to party by the vengaboys. it was the ending song to the previous dnd adventure i think
ua-cam.com/video/6Zbi0XmGtMw/v-deo.html music video of the song
I didn't even watch their other D&D adventure and it was still a good joke.
thirteen13stuff not just the previous adventure, it's pretty much the group's theme song
Dob's joke "now that's heat metal" at about 45 min was hilarious and terribly under appreciated
54 min rather
After this encounter, I think Dob needs an alignment shift lmao
Dob needs an alignment shift? What about Merilwen? She had a performance worthy of Prudence. At least vs the humans.
And upon this story was built the legend of Merilwen - the druid who cared for all life... unless you wanted her to keep it down.
- Spoilers -
First Merilwen turns this adventure to the bloodiest one so far. Then she makes a 180 and delivers the kindest "finisher". I don't know if I should love her, hate her or just accept that she is the foxiest of them all.
Neva555
Yeah, we just have to face it that she prefers animals to paladins. Egbert’s being a dragon makes them friends.
Owlbears are better than people
Owlsworth, don't you think that's truuuue?
if you're going to kill the heroes, shouldn't you end it by saving the monster?
If not the foxiest, then definitely the cattiest.
(and beari... no, that one doesn't work.)
It is impossible to hate Merilwen.
Mt favorite part is how you guys stay "in context in character", so when Jane picks up her real glass to drink, she keeps her hands crossed as if she is actually shackled xD
Also new tunic..."Dob dosnt worry about friendly fire" =P
ScarletRedCrimson
A second DOB shirt I totally need to get!
Don't be dob, worry about friendly fire!
never be a tall-merilwen
Dob: Heat-vy Metal Superstar
I was really hoping for more of Prudence... that's just the way it works out in some sessions,...next time, I suppose. Merilwen has become quite the powerhouse in combat, Dob's quick thinking has significantly improved (using his spells in creative and beneficial ways), Egbert offers good support and commentary, and Corazon really shone as the spokesperson. Jane had some really good dialogue as Prudence, but I felt like there was an underlying frustration with the lack of opportunities to use her newer powers (this was brought out in a roundabout way during her conversations with Cthulhu, which was very amusing). All in all, a great adventure.
I love that Johnny continues to allow the players to run roughshod over his best laid plans and still manages to surprise them (and us) without breaking continuity. Of course, there's also that long-term and intricately laid out joke over the course of the session with the punch-line at the end, it's almost as if he could see the future in anticipation of it...
Listen, she spent the last couple of adventures killing people in horrific ways and now it's everybody else's turn. Let Pru have her nice vacation.
@@michellee1190 It is more of a Working vacation since she actually likes killing people
Do we know which Patron cthulhu is? If it's The Ancient One then she should have telepathy, which would have been invaluable planning their escape.
I mean, is it JUST killing people or is it people experiencing horrible death which includes, but is not limited to, her killing them?
@@michellee1190 Fair enough
Why everyone insists Prudence did nothing? She probably whispered yes to Cthulhu when it asked to drive everyone in the party insane. Jane level Evil !!!
Bah, she's been steadily driving them towards insanity from day 1.
Remember how she said she was proud of how the group was turning out?
I would love to see a full "turn to evil" campaign once they reach lvl 20. Revenge of the Sith basically with Prudence as Palpatine!
Me: *comes into this knowing what happens*
Me: *whispers* The Meat Grinder.
"Literally everyone else" sounded so disappointed about the boss battle at the end
If you ask me I think all of those bear puns were a necessity.
A bear necessity
I didnt think i had underestimated Johnny's "Ok, you all are terrifying now" THIS MUCH. CTULHU IS PLEASED.
I love how
Episode 1 "we don't kill" "it was a mistake"
Episode 5 " MEATGRINDER" " I CUT HIM IN 3" " I TURN INTO A BEAR"
Wait a second... Ellen has her character turn into a certain animal... And there is no stuffed animal representative?! Heresy!!
Well, she can't bring along an 8 foot stuffed bear to the session! lol
I demand that she do that, with a *Paddington* bear!!
Corazon should add stuffed bears to his merchandise. Still need something for Pru and Eg though.
Oh my god 🗡raise your swords men time to murder the heretics
Bring on the giant walmart teddy bear.
The reactions to Merilwen casting Moonbeam for the first time in this episode are so, so funny coming back now after Moonbeam has become what it is in the Oxventure Canon 😅
Chtulhu - Prudence, so many deaths. I proud that you are friends with them. You can play more together.
I love how in the previous outing they turned the NPC sidekick into a fussy baby in a papoose so this time Johnny just made the new NPC sidekick a stupid jester from the outset.
You can almost see Johnny making a mental note about not making them fight any more animals.... Robotic versions are okay tho - loophole!
I think you forgot about what they did to the Robot Spider...
Funnily enough, owlbears are monstrosities rather than beasts
@Stoneysilence No, I meant that Merilwen/Ellen has no problem with destroying the robotic versions of animals, so that's the loophole for Johnny to exploit if he wants to avoid the boss battle turning into a moral debate or a friendship bracelet making session in the future, lol
@@Binary- ah, gotcha, that would solve that problem, but they wrecked the last robot so badly I'm not sure Johnny would try that again.
@Stoneysilence True, true. It achieved the goal of a fight.... just not a long one :p

I just realized....when Prudence is talking with Cthulhu, Corazon and Dob and Egbert all feel uncomfortable and slightly corrupted. Merilen, meanwhile, is as happy as ever. I think her corruption has already been completed.
It's so weird how I would literally buy a DVD set that was just hours of watching you guys play dnd🤷♂️
A whole hour of unbridled goodness? And it's not even Christmas
Two hours if you watch both episodes :)
But I think that makes us all addicts...
Now I want Oxbox to do a Christmas special DnD session
@@scottjones3297 Yes make them compete best player gets a point for the outsidexboxtra Christmas challenge
I want a shirt that says "Merilwen's Meatgrinder" and is made to look like a logo for a butcher shop.
Yes! Yes! Yes please
I think the cult and Tim Curry would get along famously. You know where there's no capitalism and a lot of silence? SPACE!
that joke is so forced........ I LOVE IT!
Yeah but he shouts a lot...
SPAAAACE!!!
Told you so...
In Space, no one can hear you Tim Curry.
I love that Merilwen is okay with killing a bunch of innocent guards, but no one touches the owlbear
The trap straight-up turned into a Shadow of the Tomb Raider death animation.
"Quiet, or you'll all be put to death."
Dob: "good."
Can I just say how much I love that this far in you still put in the graphics for spells and rolls and such. It's that sort of consideration that really puts you guys a cut above the rest
28:05 "It's good that we've got those wheels, they won't be going anywhere." *Looks at the camera like he's on the office*
stained glass and a torch, the LED of medieval times
First, I'm glad they didn't censor Johnny. Second, I love how in episode one, they were upset that Prudence killed someone and now they've almost stopped caring completely. Prudence has done well in corrupting the party.
"Does Moon Beam cause pain?" AKA that moment when the DM gives you so much side-eye that he winds up looking at the opposite side of the table.
Merilwen's Meatgrinder sounds like a brutal drink. Which I am going to go and create.
Tomato juice, gin, tequila, hot sauce, black pepper. Dry shake, shake with ice, shot glass, hold your nose
Dont forget Paladin's Tears!
If you didn't send this to them on Twitter and/or Instagram, you totally should...
Egbert is what would happen if you cross Jar Jar Binks, Neville Longbottom, and Spyro.
That's what makes him so loveable! And also now I want Mike to talk with a gungun accent. lol
@Mar Speedsman Cannot THUMB DOWN that enough! Gets out squirt bottle. NO! NO! NO!
Stoneysilence Hey, here's an idea. How about you thumb down twice? One for me, and one for Jar Jar! :D
@@mar_speedman lol
Neville... yeah the "chosen one" that sounds fitting.
I can just imagine the townspeople's reaction to one of the quiet guards running loudly from the church and wondering to themselves WTF happened in there for him to be making noise.
This adventure had everything!
Gold for Corazon, animal rescue for Merilwen, supporting the fine arts for Dob, proving his religion is better for Egbert, and awful bloody violence for Prudence!
Except prudence didnt do like any of the Bloody violence.
Man, their NPC companion really didn't do anything to help...I guess you could say that Flannery will get you nowhere. 😉
Me, five minutes in...
I thought Merilwen was the nice one...
Plot twist: they're all the 'nice' ones. Remember the old saying, "Beware..."
Nice to animals and friends exclusively.
My favorite part of that was Ellen's adorable giggle at the carnage.
I appreciate the attention to detail with the addition of Merilwem's scar from the whip.
Anyone else find it scary that Merrilwen drew first blood? She will now be known as Merrilwen the Meat Grinding Elf! SO MMMMMEEEEETAAAALLL!!
I hope she doesn't go full Bosmer.
The Dark Side is *strong* in this one!
I think you mean meat-al! No? Alright, I'll show myself out.
@@godspeed2272 Damn that's a good one
I love how at the veery start merilwen hated killing now shes the psychopathic killer , while prudence watches in amazement
callum snape she never hated killing she is neutral so if needed she will kill
Ellen really needs to play a WoW Druid. She's got the cat form, the bear form and now she's learned how to spam Moonfire!
"Does anyone else feel perched on the edge of the abyss..."
"Always"
Dob has brought the Daemonic Spell into the mix. Heat Metal is the most Daemonic and evil spell in D&D. No save. You can just slowly roast even the most powerful warrior alive in his armour.
Heat Metal is a War Crime in many kingdoms
Man, you know its messed up if fucking Kharn is going "Not Cool Bro"
I hope Flannery makes a comeback in another campaign xD maybe this time it reveals that he was an assassin the whole time
Yeah, I hope he pulls a Cicero and goes down the mad-jester kind of route.
That was amazing, Johnny. Who knew the real monster was a giant troll? 😆😆😆
Oh. No. Please. No. Johnny. You just aced the long game. No one saw that coming. No.
Ok so. Prudence didn't kill anyone? Or even maim them slightly? WHAT IS THIS MADNESS
Caitlin RC it's fine, she's just sitting back and watching as her corrupting influence works it's magic on the others.
Ah, but she's incited/helped convince both Dob and Merilwen - arguably the most 'Good' aligned of the group - into one of Corazon's plans that resulted in the deaths of almost 20 non-Cthulhu worshippers. There may be madness in her methods but there is also a method to the madness.
She's moved into management and is outsourcing the murder.
Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes your teammate turns into a bear and rips everyone to shreds.
she didn't need to cause of Merilwen, so she saved it for the boss....and then Merilwen.
Jane: "Are they still suffering?"
Jonny: "Yes."
Jane: *smiles evilly*
Ellen deserves inspiration for that solution... despite moonbeaming that watch commander for no good reason.
Watch Commander just couldn't handle the spotlight.
