      And to think that not top long ago, they were fighting with spiderdrow Danielle.. Love this show, lore for a bit complicated around all these clones stuff, but managed to went through it 😅
      Lasy episode with JC cut me deep, I literally cried, nie I'm glad we have CP back for episodes like this, full of action and teamplay..
      I watch AI instead of any Netflix shows 😏

    Acq inc was my first exposure to dnd and no matter how many real plays pop up I will always come back to this, you guys could do 100 seasons with increasingly convoluted plots and I would will follow along. Its insane how much these characters had me crying last session after all these years and I am ready to get punched in the heart in these last two episodes

  • @Ichthyodactyl
    @Ichthyodactyl Рік тому +3

    This really doesn't matter and nobody NEEDS for it to be pointed out but the reason that DexMod is used as the tiebreaker for Initiative and assumed RAW so commonly is because that WAS a real rule in previous versions and 5e didn't provide rules to adjudicate initiative ties, which a lot of people wanted. For the old-heads, there wasn't any reason to stop using a rule that didn't conflict with the new system and a lot of people who never played a system where that was a rule picked it up as players and just kept using it themselves. Simple as.

    The blunderbus is Vai, the cheese and goggles is Bobbie, boots of flight Evelyn, wands and cape Jim, war hammer Omin... That leaves the '76 Dodge tradesman conversion van for Certainty but I can't quite figure it out... I miss my old Dodge van.

    • @ThePartyGecko
      @ThePartyGecko Рік тому +2

      My intuition was that the initial AI tome and... seal? were Certainty's, since she's always referencing her book.
      No clue about the van, though, unless it's HobOmin.

  • @HyperboreanTom
    @HyperboreanTom Рік тому +1

    I love how this adventure seems influenced by so much of the stuff Chris and Jeremy must have been working on or hearing about. Obelisks from the Phandelver sequel, Asmodeus from the Chains of Asmodeus (granted he's been a player for a while), and Bigby from the new Giant sourcebook (I also think this dungeon is actually the corpse of a stone giant, based on Bobby's weird experience when he used stone's endurance). Acq Inc always tied in to product releases or storylines but it never really felt like a commerical - more just the DMs getting to put into use all the stuff they've been working on.

    Hey folks, I've been confused about something. Since the end of the episode with the Flaming Fist raid on AI, I thought Auspicia was the big bad in charge of Dran Enterprises, and Portentia was friendly to AI, helping them with the Horn Enclave heist. But they've mentioned Portentia as the Dran Enterprises villain a few times now, and i think that was her fighting Certainty at the end of Campaign 1. Never watched C Team, so I've never met Auspicia besides her corpse after the Cloud Castle episode. Was there a big reveal at some point and Portentia became the main villain?

    • @HyperboreanTom
      @HyperboreanTom Рік тому +1

      I am also confused on this fact, but I am just assuming Jerry retconned something in C Team and am running with it. I think one of the sisters turned out to be a shapeshifter anyway?

    • @mikkosimonen
      @mikkosimonen Рік тому +2

      That Auspicia was a fake, and Portentia is the one behind it. The real Auspicia had been trapped in a dungeon for decades and only recently liberated.
