Honestly, I was hoping they would do that when Ben was getting incredibly elaborate with it, but it was even better than I had hoped. Hamish just killed the scene as well lol.
So who reckons Adam will be putting in a little more thought before the PvP fight we're doing in the new studio, eventually? They'll have more abilities by then.
So psyched! There's two kinds of battles I adore above all others: Epic Clashes Between All-Powerful Gods Gumby Slapfights Between Incompetent Disasters
Totally worth the rewatch - hope Lorquin is ok and delay isn’t because of any flood impact (hope all the VLDL team is ok as well, weird times in Auckland)
Laethil's cousin watching this is like "no way this guy is actually Baradun. He's renowned across the land for defeating armies and this guy couldn't beat some brute in a loin cloth."
A battle for the ages, who’s more powerful? More strong? A question we’ve been asking, now, for months or years - So long. Baradun or Bodger? Two true titans, brute and mage. The match begins and in a flash, brave Bodger screams out “Rage!” Poor Baradun just panics. And the beast’s immune to lust. At least, though, with his wild surge, he attains the gift of… gust… And just like that, it’s over. The mage is down and out. The winner will be clear to all but Baradun, no doubt.
I swear it's because he dissed his dice in the first episode 🤣 You never mess with the dice gods lmao. And then he dissed the dice again this episode 😭
And the Evidence that he is an imposter not the real baradun do to complete lack of practical magical knowledge increases..... Wonder if the elf Lord still thinks he's the real Baradun; or leyathil's cousin is getting real suspicious.
I'm still confused on why he didn't just Bonus action Fireball the whole group of 3 with his highest spell slot. Lol he got the highest initiative and did nothing xD.
The hot tub green screen between Britt and Hamish was oddly wholesome despite the random disgusting bandaid 🤣 Their laughter while they splashed at each other and just utterly corpsed was adorable.
Haven’t played D&D a day in my life, but you guy’s legitimately made me take an interest in it. Stranger things couldn’t do it & you lovely dickheads did. Love all of you guys hope the best for you
These 4 make the perfect team composition! Baradun actually tries to take the game very seriously. Bodger just doesn't care about anything besides Bodging. Ben WANTS to be badass but has been cursed by the dice gods. and Greg is just mentally broken 😆 And with the occasional wonderful guest to balance them out 🙃
@@KhanAndMrPointyEars This is exactly it. These guys got me to play D&D for the first time because it was just an excuse to hang out with the guys. Now I've been DMing for over a year.
The depths of Baradun's generosity never cease to astound me! Such an amazing team leader, letting Bodger down him; truly he is the greatest in all the land!!!
Thank you very much you kind sir, I was very sad after that, but now that you explained what actually happened I can continue to admire the Great Baradun and watch the series with pleasure!
To be fair, the VR battle session took a party that is mostly spell casters who are by nature ranged combatants, and put them into a close quarters environment which would put the melee combatants at a distinct advantage.
@@shawnbonneau5731 a ok. I never considers second rolling as what he would roll if he would have advantage in the first place. Every time you roll different so I were thinking that he were supposed to have some ability that gives autocrit
I called the NAT 20 just before BOB rolled..lol Baradun is hilarious 🤣 I was hoping Bodger would remember that his Grandfather's hanmer could now polymorph things. He didn't use it this part of the PvP. 🤔😒
Every time any of them say "it's just VR, nothing will happen" and then Rob smiling does not give me hope that this is just VR and nothing will happen. Poor Baradun, despite being taken out so quickly, I can almost guarantee that he will be just as arrogant and make excuses as to why he lost
Yeah if i were greg i'd just at least take a peek at the reality outside the VR. BTW the consequences might just be the crowd losing faith in Baradun after seing a random blacksmith beating him up.
@@yakovik333 And told them it would be a bit of a drain. Best scenario: they all get exhaustion out of it. Worst case: not seeing the bodies of the non-combatants is the only thing that happened due to VR.
I wonder if there are actually gonna be consequences of this vr battle. Knowing Rob I think they are. Baradun literally claimed he is the high sorcerer, yet, he just got slapped but (to others) totally random, very angry barbarian. Showing Baradun is potential doppelganger with no powers. Looking forward for next episode
Baradun: "Ha! I have control of your mind!" 😎👉👉 Bodger: _"Knock knock, nobody's home right now"_ 👹 Baradun: "Oh yeah..." 😰 Also 13:30 The return of valley girl Bodger from the hell campaign!!!???
I found you guys recently and have been binge watching every episode because the content is just SO GOOD! I have never before been so engrossed and entertained by a D&D campaign; it was like a book I couldn't put down. Now I have to wait with everyone else for the weekly episodes to be posted, such agony! Thank you VLDL for getting me interested in and excited about such an old game like D&D. I can't wait to see where Rob takes everyone!
It all felt so familiar and then I realized I was watching an episode of "bored": - Alan quitting the entire situation and choosing to not get involved - The entire universe bending itself in favor of Rowan so he can abuse Adam - Ben randomly popping in and out to do some silly things The only difference is that this time Rowan wanted to hit Adam, and he Could
"FUCK YOU BEN! ...FUCK YOU ME, CAUSE I'M BEN!" Hamish is amazing, that "Ben" character is alright too. Also, I don't think I've ever seen modeling charisma as powerful as that which Adam and Alan exuded at the end. Magnificent.
YES!!!! Bob finally got the badass Ice Armor! Specifically because Hamish is playing him in the green screen. I hoped that was coming, and I was not let down
Knowing Rob, I'm not gonna ba surprised, if this whole event would somehow be elves' plot to learn about group's power and who is the strongest of them.
Baradun has demonstrated himself as extremely capable in past fights, often nullifying a powerful enemy, or solving a critical vulnerability, or saving the day in some tricky way. He works best when attacking "sideways". In this fight, he got locked into a straight face to face fight, and obviously lost to an "opponent" who excels in that. I'm more interested in the future consequences of this fight. They just showed a big crowd of people that Baradun can be taken down by a mid-level barbarian, and thus isn't as powerful as the old Baradun. And made it clear to those people that Bodger is the "primary threat" in the party. Baradun going down is probably a good thing, as Baradun's real power in fights will be mostly hidden from current NPC observers, and they won't be as prepared to fight him "for real". On the flip side, Bodger is showing off everything, so any NPC's who want to specifically prepare themselves to fight this party will be particularly prepared for Bodger.
11:30 lol now I can't help but imagine Wotsit chewing on a pair of VR goggles instead of wearing them and being at Bob's side in the pvp. Makes more sense that he wasn't present for the fancy dinner but still lol
Just came from watching the VoD for Behind the Screen ep 109 where you were theorising about the outcome of this fight at the end. Kinda hillarious how wrong it's gone compared to what you thought 4 months ago 😛
So I've never watched Actual Plays until I found this channel, and it's a shame that after binging this entire series, nothing else compares to the charisma and fun personalities at this table, because I'm out of stuff to binge. Keep making stuff like this. You guys have got a fan for life. I'll be telling everyone I know about this channel. It's far and away the best. And I say this as someone new to this genre of entertainment, I went to try and check out Critical Role after running out of stuff to watch here, and it's not the same, you guys are in my opinion far more entertaining to watch. I hope your effort continues to pay off and this channel keeps growing, you guys deserve it.
There is ascent into Avernus with VLDL. They also have Isolation games, but I don't like it as much because it plays online (due to pandemic) and thus lacks some of the back and forthing with the players.
Real talk though, how could the in-universe character Baradun specifically know that Bodger is now immune to charm while raging? It's a fact that it would work on him if he weren't raging, or were and had not developed that ability.
@@cenciende9401 because he practiced being imune to charm in front of adam also it is baradune he is the most meta charecter if anyone were to know it would be him
I know nothing about dnd besides what I have learned ( unlearned?) By watching this series. Having said that, this is the most entertaining show available. I absolutely love the entire series. Please don't stop the story.
I'm sad that it was autogenerated UA-cam captions this week :(. How else am I going to know the score of the fly versus VLDL? Other than that I did really enjoy this episode and I would love to see more PVP may be better doing can even the score between him and bodger next time. Which I guess the fight isn't ultimately over. He could still make a death save and go running off and do some cool spell sniper stuff. Fireball the hot tub!
Between Baradun forgetting how to play the game he lives in and Ben finally getting the CGI he wants but not acting it, I bet this time they'll remember this session even 3 months later 😂
Ah, Hamish is a better BOB than Bob haha! He got the epic armor and hot tub cgi, well done on the green screen edits! Really love all the extra animations you guys threw in
I just finished all my prep for sleep and was getting under the covers when I noticed my phone blinking. I was gonna ignore it, but decided to check it anyway and only to see the new episode just dropped. Out of bed to fire up my PC to watch this instead of sleeping. It'll be worth it.
if anyone was having misgivings about whether Baradun is the real high sorcerer, this game def did not persuade them. Quite the opposite :D Also, I miss Bob’s superb hand-drawn ice armor. That should have stayed a thing!
This whole PvP battle is so cool Such a good way too for them to all gain some good experience with using all of their abilities along with honing down on what all their strengths and weaknesses are even more

OMG YOUR SOO RIGHT I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT OMG THAT IS SOO FUNNY I LOVE THIS TEAM HAHAHAHA

And one of the rare wins for Hamish
@@Timmyyy1990 You are a mean human being! 🤣
Honestly, I was hoping they would do that when Ben was getting incredibly elaborate with it, but it was even better than I had hoped. Hamish just killed the scene as well lol.
Bodger's inspiring speech for the foreseeable future: Did you see me beat up Baradune?!?!
You know that badass looking ice armor Ben always wanted? Well let's do it while he is having a knee surgery! OUTRAGEOUS!
oh shit, didnt know about that, ben good luck and rest well my man, we all love u.
Don't you worry buddy. Ben is definitely gonna fuck em over at some point down the road - they just fucked over a guy that doesn't sleep
We all know who the real badass is now! Ben!
@@TheOlondo Well ... we kinda know how he spends his alone time tho... ;)

So who reckons Adam will be putting in a little more thought before the PvP fight we're doing in the new studio, eventually? They'll have more abilities by then.
I have a feeling he'll have the most thought put into it. Something tells me Bodger is just gonna Bodge no matter what the playing field is 🙃
Oh yeah. I bet he’s already scheming! 😂
I'll be surprised if he still uses that ring...
So psyched! There's two kinds of battles I adore above all others:
Epic Clashes Between All-Powerful Gods
Gumby Slapfights Between Incompetent Disasters
Group needs to be renamed now that Baradun isn't the strongest, Bodger and the D*Heads??
Sorry lovely viewers - but the subtitles won't be up for a couple of days. Good excuse to watch the episode twice though right?!
I was wondering about that. Thanks for the heads up.
All good, all the love for Lorquin.
We need an excuse to watch in a couple of days.
Totally worth the rewatch - hope Lorquin is ok and delay isn’t because of any flood impact (hope all the VLDL team is ok as well, weird times in Auckland)
Lorquin's turn to get knee surgery, huh? Just get Hamish to do them...
That Armor of Agathys looks awesome, and the fact it's there for Hamish and not Ben makes it even better LOL
And you know, that despite them already having the prop and animation, they are never gonna use it again 🤣
@@austinchoy7677 oh I hope so, unless Hamish comes back as Bob 😂
Laethil's cousin watching this is like "no way this guy is actually Baradun. He's renowned across the land for defeating armies and this guy couldn't beat some brute in a loin cloth."
A battle for the ages,
who’s more powerful?
More strong?
A question we’ve been asking, now,
for months or years - So long.
Baradun or Bodger?
Two true titans, brute and mage.
The match begins and in a flash,
brave Bodger screams out “Rage!”
Poor Baradun just panics.
And the beast’s immune to lust.
At least, though, with his wild surge,
he attains the gift of… gust…
And just like that, it’s over.
The mage is down and out.
The winner will be clear to all but Baradun, no doubt.
If Ellie ever comes back as her Aussie bard character she needs this in game - very good
Haha, that's great.
This needs to be canon lore.
Awesome
The simple honeywood blacksmith who took down the high sorcerer... epic indeed!
Less than a minute in and we have the return of the Van Lier curse. You love to see it.
The van what now?
The rest if Ben's name.
haha 😆
I swear it's because he dissed his dice in the first episode 🤣 You never mess with the dice gods lmao.
And then he dissed the dice again this episode 😭
@@TheOlondoVan lier curse
...It's greg. That's the problem!
Rob is right. As a Baradun fan, when Adam said Charm Monster I went "Fuck..."
Better luck in the KS battle, Adam 😅
And the Evidence that he is an imposter not the real baradun do to complete lack of practical magical knowledge increases.....
Wonder if the elf Lord still thinks he's the real Baradun; or leyathil's cousin is getting real suspicious.
Polt twist: At the end it turns out he's actually not the real Baradun afterall, just an imposter who believed he was the real one.
Can we appreciate Robs 'temporary photographic memory'! He closed his eyes and counted the dice that he'd just seen!
An image of Baradoon about to take a hammer to the face with the subtitle 'crit happens' should be a new T-shirt design.
14:57 Rob:"You can already fly."

DID SOMEONE SAY FLY?! 🪰
Soo glad Ben finaly got his amazing cgi armour. He looked so badass and awesome in it too. Once in a lifetime moment.
Adam, next time you are in melee range with a ragin Barbarian, maybe Dimension Door away.
Best two out of three guys?
haha 😆
Bodger should multiclass to someone with dispell magic
Not a bad idea 😂
Bodger: "Rage, Frenzied Rage, Reckless,-"
Baradun: "Poooortal Aawaaayyyy!"
Bodger: "Fu-Buiscuits-ck!"
I'm still confused on why he didn't just Bonus action Fireball the whole group of 3 with his highest spell slot. Lol he got the highest initiative and did nothing xD.

-You like the hot tub Bob?
-No, I prefer bathing in blood.

As a spellcaster main, Baradun not having Shield as a spell is horrifying. It's how we protect our squishy buns.

The fact that they don't really care to learn the game, said Ben. Is what makes this so funny. It is utter chaos all the time.
These 4 make the perfect team composition!
Baradun actually tries to take the game very seriously.
Bodger just doesn't care about anything besides Bodging.
Ben WANTS to be badass but has been cursed by the dice gods.

Also, I don't think I've ever seen modeling charisma as powerful as that which Adam and Alan exuded at the end. Magnificent.
I feel like the scene of Bodger charging Baradun ended with Baradun just passing gas with the gust cantrip. Out of fear of course 😆
If he did pass gas he'd just blame it on Greg.
YES!!!! Bob finally got the badass Ice Armor! Specifically because Hamish is playing him in the green screen. I hoped that was coming, and I was not let down
Hah Ben was playing with a controller on that first shot!
Being home sick THIS was the perfect way of having my morning coffee. Thank you guys!!!
Rob, for reference. I'm Not subscribed to VLDL MAIN CHANNEL, never was. Only to this channel. This is my weekly laughter channel. Thanks! :)
That's not ok, go subscribe, that's actively choosing to not support them lol
NAT 1 on the first combat roll... gods, that brings back memories...
Someone's prowlin' 'round here... Must've been the wind.
Knowing Rob, I'm not gonna ba surprised, if this whole event would somehow be elves' plot to learn about group's power and who is the strongest of them.
That was my thought.
I was "Huh, they are invited (well discouraged actually) to "join in" and they end up being the only ones playing ... ?
(And nobody questions this?)
Consequences, schmonsequences.
Let's kill each other.
Haha 😆
Also, after this display of "power", they might start doubting whether Baradun is actually legit or just a pretender.
But wise old, err new, Greg abstained.
15:50 In my head, Bob transforms into his armor like a Sailor Moon anime girl 😂
The one time Bob gets a cool Armor of Agathys in the greenscreen and Ben is unavailable.
I love that they include character breaks on this channel it's such a nice and funny way to get a bit of behind the scenes without really gwtting it.
Petition to rename the group "Bodger and the Dickheads" now that he's dispatched Baradun!
OMG Adam, thanks for your sacrifice! XD
Haha and that skit right after was brilliantly executed xD
That scream at the end 🤌🤣🤣🤣
14:58 Rob said fly too many times, and that summoned the fly
Baradun has demonstrated himself as extremely capable in past fights, often nullifying a powerful enemy, or solving a critical vulnerability, or saving the day in some tricky way. He works best when attacking "sideways". In this fight, he got locked into a straight face to face fight, and obviously lost to an "opponent" who excels in that.
I'm more interested in the future consequences of this fight. They just showed a big crowd of people that Baradun can be taken down by a mid-level barbarian, and thus isn't as powerful as the old Baradun. And made it clear to those people that Bodger is the "primary threat" in the party. Baradun going down is probably a good thing, as Baradun's real power in fights will be mostly hidden from current NPC observers, and they won't be as prepared to fight him "for real".
On the flip side, Bodger is showing off everything, so any NPC's who want to specifically prepare themselves to fight this party will be particularly prepared for Bodger.
11:30 lol now I can't help but imagine Wotsit chewing on a pair of VR goggles instead of wearing them and being at Bob's side in the pvp.
Makes more sense that he wasn't present for the fancy dinner but still lol
Just came from watching the VoD for Behind the Screen ep 109 where you were theorising about the outcome of this fight at the end. Kinda hillarious how wrong it's gone compared to what you thought 4 months ago 😛
Did they forget to check for polymorph on Bodger's attacks on BOB
And Baradun as well, the polymorph might give him some extra hp to survive.
When you're winning so much that you forget about all your extra powers.
Haha 😆
They forgot about it for when he hit Baradun as well.
Rob: if this were in the games real life you'd have serious injuries
Baradun: why?!?!
Also Baradun: *unconscious from several war-hammer smacks*
The attempt Baradun made to do ANYTHING against Bodger just killed me 🤣 Poor Adam. That's probably because he's sitting too close to Ben 😉
Reminds me of when BOB failed to harm Yaris in several consecutive rolls despite the latter being restrained.
We need Clem finding the breastplate of Argon. Just to have Britt react to it, again!
WHy DOn'T YoU tRY iT oN NoW...
Clem is a wizard. She couldn't possibly wear that much armor.
@@douglasphillips5870 In that case, she could ditch PART of the armor. =D
...and holding the armour in one hand, pass it over with disgust to one of the boys with words: "you wear it" ;)
Guys, keep up the improv. It’s absolutely fantastic when you see the cast break and be very meta
Ben pondering Bob possibly flying was perfectly accompanied by the fly making another appearance.
Edit: 14:58
So I've never watched Actual Plays until I found this channel, and it's a shame that after binging this entire series, nothing else compares to the charisma and fun personalities at this table, because I'm out of stuff to binge. Keep making stuff like this. You guys have got a fan for life. I'll be telling everyone I know about this channel. It's far and away the best. And I say this as someone new to this genre of entertainment, I went to try and check out Critical Role after running out of stuff to watch here, and it's not the same, you guys are in my opinion far more entertaining to watch. I hope your effort continues to pay off and this channel keeps growing, you guys deserve it.
Check out Chronicles of Aelwyn, Dimension 20, Adventure Zone and Twitch Tales.
There is ascent into Avernus with VLDL. They also have Isolation games, but I don't like it as much because it plays online (due to pandemic) and thus lacks some of the back and forthing with the players.
Only halfway through but Bodger is a champ haha. Everyone going for Bodger, I really hope he still ends up winning
Now when Ben gets better to where he can do the green screen scenes you gotta make the worst ice armor imaginable for him as a welcome back present!
Baradun should've summoned Djeoph! He knows everyone (especially Bob) would've just gone straight for him!
25:48 - This is giving me "shy little sister doing a presentation with supportive older brothers" vibes.
I'm the high sorcerer baradoon, all powerful. Also watch me fail to understand how charm monster works and fail to launch a fire bolt.
And completely forget about Dimension Door to get away from the raging Barbarian.
Real talk though, how could the in-universe character Baradun specifically know that Bodger is now immune to charm while raging? It's a fact that it would work on him if he weren't raging, or were and had not developed that ability.
@@cenciende9401 because he practiced being imune to charm in front of adam also it is baradune he is the most meta charecter if anyone were to know it would be him
I have never missed and episode and these bring a bit of joy to my day.
I know nothing about dnd besides what I have learned ( unlearned?) By watching this series. Having said that, this is the most entertaining show available. I absolutely love the entire series. Please don't stop the story.
I would love to see Ben's reaction to Hamish armour LMAO
On the plus side,
Laethil will end up thinking Baradun is weak and not a threat.
haha 😆
I'm sad that it was autogenerated UA-cam captions this week :(. How else am I going to know the score of the fly versus VLDL?
Other than that I did really enjoy this episode and I would love to see more PVP may be better doing can even the score between him and bodger next time. Which I guess the fight isn't ultimately over. He could still make a death save and go running off and do some cool spell sniper stuff. Fireball the hot tub!
Baradün's scream is epic! 😱🤣☠️
Between Baradun forgetting how to play the game he lives in and Ben finally getting the CGI he wants but not acting it, I bet this time they'll remember this session even 3 months later 😂
"Have you restocked the new shipment that came in"
"yeah I did it this morning"
"That shit's dingo"
Dingo....
@@dvdkolk that's exactly what I said but my phone never corrected it to say dingo
@@redt3788 damn you autocorrect!!!! 😄
Rob is so sneaky. Consequence free PvP? I don't believe that for a second! Lol something smells fishy. XD
One of the best episodes yet! Laughed so hard! Bodger saying 'Can Bob dive into him' 🤣
Ah, Hamish is a better BOB than Bob haha! He got the epic armor and hot tub cgi, well done on the green screen edits! Really love all the extra animations you guys threw in
Don’t worry, Adam. You get the win in the actual PvP
Only just noticed they changed the image for Bob at the start. 🤣🤣🤣
I just finished all my prep for sleep and was getting under the covers when I noticed my phone blinking. I was gonna ignore it, but decided to check it anyway and only to see the new episode just dropped. Out of bed to fire up my PC to watch this instead of sleeping. It'll be worth it.
All of us as Baradun tries using Charm on Bodger. 😂❤️
Maybe it's time to "randomly" reassign seating around the Gaming Table?...
Poor Barradoon!
if anyone was having misgivings about whether Baradun is the real high sorcerer, this game def did not persuade them. Quite the opposite :D
Also, I miss Bob’s superb hand-drawn ice armor. That should have stayed a thing!
Bob: Puts on Armor of Agithas
Bob: "Super badass CG"
Finance team: "WE DON'T HAVE THE BUDGET BOB"
Bob: "Super badass shark suit"
This whole PvP battle is so cool
Such a good way too for them to all gain some good experience with using all of their abilities along with honing down on what all their strengths and weaknesses are even more
Ah, I'm too early for the gold subtitles from Lorquin!
A couple of days for lorquin's magic
@@glenadams5694 It is normally there 10 hours or so after release when I watch it (releases just as I go to bed in NZ)
I really missed the "sleep!" bit, one of the best of the campaign.
Loved that hamish gets the good armor of agathist XD
Hey Baradun, how much do you think you can fuck up? Baradun goes: "Yes"
You have been baited.
Once the two strongest in the team are beaten up, they will come collect them and take them to laethils prison
I love that they used a picture of Hamish for Bob in the name and title popup thing (I know there's a term for it, but I can't remember it)
Baradun obviously didn't want to show his true powers. OBVIOUSLY.
LOVING this episode, and the fact that they gave that awesome Armor to Hamish! :D But I so very much missed those original captions!
Love bow Hamish can get the good armor. We can all agree "Fuck Ben."
Just wanna say the armor of agathys at 16:10 is genuinely so well done
"Just so you can fly, you can already fly." 14:56 - Fly understands and continues to fly.
Hamish and Britt sitting in a hot tub trying to maintain a straight face while sensually saying "spicy sexy hot tub" gives me life.
Magic casters are incredibly powerful...when played correctly. That's a very important clause.
Been waiting for this all week!
Alan's pen spinning during this is hilarious. @21:40 is one of the many
I LOVE that Bob finally gets the awesome ice armor effect, only to have Hamish benefit from it. Well played, team. That was the ultimate "F-you, Ben"
