The Lich thought that they could judge the party as unworthy. Cast them adrift into the sea of time. They had seen it personally. The future was written, the party's fate was sealed... But they failed to count on one thing. Aeroisians make their own fate. But seriously, this challenge felt inspired by Destiny's Atheon fight in the Vault of Glass. Loved every moment of it. I wonder how the Sphinx challenge will go...
If we knew why the bowl of petunias thought "oh no, not again" we would know alot more about the nature of life, the universe and everything than we do now.
A fight with a Lich is always amazing if done well. One of my favorite monsters by far. And as Mark said, while this isn’t a full blown Lich battle (dear god Lucious no!) it did a great job of tying the different timelines and themes. Great job to all the players and Mark with this amazing encounter!
These guys are amazing. Wonderful role playing, fantastic storytelling and DMing (so they get some things wrong occasionally, honestly, they are having so much fun, and so is the audience, so who really cares?). There’s a great story, wonderful heroes, heart-stopping action and deeply moving moments. I often get more from an Aerois episode than a modern movie. Well done, team. Well done.
i've made Mark's mistake more than once. i always forget Dodge action gives dex saves advantage, just like Mark thought. and Try again. Thats badass AF
Been binge watching and have had many emotions over the time. But watching Trott and Tom trying not to laugh would make me laugh every time back and forth till I was in tears. Also now my tummy hurts lol.
Ravs messed that up last session. But Mark said that Johan has the special ability to do it for undisclosed reasons he and Ravs had discussed off-screen
Another awesome episode! Really fun and creative plays from the gang, also Sentry and Aila being TANKS Spoilers: Can we have ONE day where Lucius doesn't nearly die? Sorcerers are paper thin lol
What I find disturbing about this battle is I am playing an elven Chronurgy Wizard, and seeing this lich battle with the temporal shunt attempt just hits home, this could be my character in a few centuries if he goes down this wrong path like they did, what a reality check man.
20:13 I'm curious as to what how Rhiannon got a plus 4 bonus to that dex save. She has a +3 from her aura, but she should also get at least another +2 from shield master. Sheild master lets you add your shield's AC to dex saves that target only you (pg. 170 of the PHB) so she should have had at least a +5 to that roll excluding magic items
Such a awesome fight Mark! It was so detailed and so much going on at once. I love the multiple objectives too. Much much more interesting than just a big boss sack of hit points. High rollers is the best :)
I was really sad when the High Rollers merch store transferred me to the US and Canada store of it and the Quill shirt wasn't on there, I live in the US btw
2:38:25 so you can only use sorcery points to regain a 5th lvl spell slot maximum. (Which are 7 sorcery point). Scatter is a 6th lvl spell, so that couldn’t be regained. Secondly, the creature must be willing, an unconscience creature (Lucius) is an invalid target. I love the idea of the action taken to get Lucius out of harms way, but it wasn’t a correct turn
I'm digging the battle music. It's a little repetitive, but I like the melody and it reminds me of something, like I've heard it before but can't place it.
YAY!!!!!!! So excited for this episode and @kim I love hearing your little laughs and cackles in the back of trotts ads. They give me life :) Edit: OMG BAHAHAHAHA ALMOST EVERYONE NOT KNOWING WHAT UNUS ANNUS IS BAHAHAHAHA (it’s ok lol still love y’all) memento mori 😔✊
2:25:00 C'mon Rhi, why did you Disengage when your AC is thru the roof? You could take down the lich with smites and then worry about healing Lucius, when he can actually be healed.
@@TheBaldParakeet Haven't finished the vid yet, but that choice is likely to get Lucius killed again. Not sure the arrangement of the battlemap at the time, but she certainly could get next to the lich, whack him, and block line of sight to Lucius. I just get frustrated with Rhi freaking out and making poor decisions instead of thinking things through. Have you watched any of their Strahd campaign?
@@TheBaldParakeet Also, she has the AC of a tank, doubt the lich could hit her with an opportunity attack anyway. She could've put a Shield of Faith on Lucius or something. Doing anything really would've been nice.
@@MaliciousGrim05 because people post time stamps of important parts of the vod example when break starts, when it ends, when the episode starts, sponsors etc etc
There isn't a set rule but from a meta gaming perspective yes the DM knows the level the player is casting and knows how high of a counterspell is needed while players gave to guess. That's just how the game ends up going
You could argue a lich with centuries of knowledge would instantly know the amount of power needed to counter-spell though. Also the same meta knowledge can be in the players hand if they know what spells the enemy has but I’d venture a guess any good dm would allow an arcana check to “guess” the spell they are counterings level
@@lukeamparo6586 it depends on the DM. Some like Mark seem to be fine, especially since most of their groups are casters, but others especially groups with only one or two casters may suffer more
@@reedk2402 RAW (somewhere in the DMG if I remember right. I know I've read it) and RAI identifying a spell being cast requires your reaction so it's impossible to know the spell being cast and also counterspell it. It's intended that you can't know (Jeremy Crawford stated it). It just rarely works out that way as people don't counter until they know what the spell is, and no one stops to ask if it's being countered. It would interrupt the flow of the game too much anyway. Additionally it doesn't help with spells being upcast, for example Hold person is 2nd level but could be being cast at say 5th level. A check would tell you it's Hold person, but not that it's being cast at 5th level.
Everyone is afraid of Finger of Death. Me thinking: Doesn't a Lich have Power Word Kill? Even at full health thats instant death for everyone but Aila and Sentry, if I'm not mistaken... Edit: Oh Nova is above 100 HP too it seems.
@@lholliday198 probably there only option there cause quill is the strongest cleric on the planet I'm sure an I don't think he is even high enough yet to cast that . Best bet would be to hunt for a old magic scroll
I am a podcast goblin but I always tune in on yt for the sponsor videos and donations :P Also, I loved the "I like breasts" moment from Reynard and I'm glad Tom still remembers it; that was one of the best Reynard-Grunkard moments!
Technically yes, same with fireball and 98% of the spells in the game. Shatter and earthquake being the exceptions. That is unless mark is classifying the pillars as a construct.
Ravs turns into a plant, Sentry uses plant growth, mega Ravs is born.
Idk why mega ravs got me so bad ahhahaha

"No you."
Quill close runner up.
It was very cool of Trott to include dedicated viewers in the commercial.
Johan turning into a potted plant had me giggling out loud
Lich: "The Elenasto bloodline will end here."
Lucius, chuckling: "I have a sister."
Trott was like 'lmao nope.'

The Lich thought that they could judge the party as unworthy.
Cast them adrift into the sea of time.
They had seen it personally. The future was written, the party's fate was sealed...
But they failed to count on one thing.
Aeroisians make their own fate.
But seriously, this challenge felt inspired by Destiny's Atheon fight in the Vault of Glass. Loved every moment of it. I wonder how the Sphinx challenge will go...

Just here to listen to Kim absolutely losing it in the background during Trott's sponsor video 😂😂
just here to adore rhi, the rp gods trott and tom, and skip 30s every time kim opens her mouth
Amazing subtle quality of life change for the viewer I noticed in this video... The overlay displays the player whose turn it currently is. Marvelous
I have never seen a DM get so excited by a player's Pro Move moment before.
As soon as he said "sucked themselves dry" I knew Trott and Tom would be laughing for ages
RIP those we've lost to bad polymorph spells.🙏
And the ultimate brookstone happens it turns out Johan was Hadar all along.

Another episode of Dunduns & Dragons, exciting
Dundeons and dradons
What an episode! I can't even begin to digest what I just watched. Such a rollercoaster can wait for the next one.
1:59:50 that is a great moment to award inspiration. That's fantastic.
i've made Mark's mistake more than once. i always forget Dodge action gives dex saves advantage, just like Mark thought.
and Try again. Thats badass AF
"Oh no, not again." - Johan, as he becomes a potted plant.
Marks litche voice is chilling!! What a badass character
If you're happy cause of warm plates clap your hands Sentry, "clap clap clap clapaplaplpala.

Big brain play from Tom at 1:59:05
Been binge watching and have had many emotions over the time. But watching Trott and Tom trying not to laugh would make me laugh every time back and forth till I was in tears. Also now my tummy hurts lol.
No one even notices that Ravsy looks so god damn SMUG during this whole battle.
Literally got this far before campaign 3 is now announced for 2023 time to speed run aerois
Wait so is ravs becoming a permanent member? #RavsForHR
Mark you genius! What an encounter! Agreed with Rhiannon, that has to be the best combat so far. I was glued to my screen!
God dang it Trott, I almost choked because of you
A worthy death
43:56 that is true, I just learned that. Pg. 192 of the PHB if you're curious
When you take the dodge action you have advantage on dexterity saving throws so it very much does give you a benefit versus fireball
I love the confusion on Toms face every time Johan takes a turn,
And Johan still can't convert sorcerer points into beyond 5th level spells.
Ravs messed that up last session. But Mark said that Johan has the special ability to do it for undisclosed reasons he and Ravs had discussed off-screen
"You'll pay for what you did to --" *Blast of thunder* "Johan!"
Another awesome episode! Really fun and creative plays from the gang, also Sentry and Aila being TANKS
Spoilers:
Can we have ONE day where Lucius doesn't nearly die? Sorcerers are paper thin lol
Ahh remember when Quill was the one always, or almost always dying. Good days
It really was
I think Lucius could majorly benefit from a dip into Hexblade. Having access to higher AC is an imperative in endgame DnD
Yeah sorcerers and wizards are squishy. Clerics can be if not wearing heavy armor like pike from critical role.
What I find disturbing about this battle is I am playing an elven Chronurgy Wizard, and seeing this lich battle with the temporal shunt attempt just hits home, this could be my character in a few centuries if he goes down this wrong path like they did, what a reality check man.
"Recklessly smack it, please" is my favorite line
41:48 - Picture Sentry with a Glad0s like voice when she says this next line. Shit you not! You'll get a giggle 👌
such a powerful episode! great moments from all
2:16:20 I could be wrong, but I believe this is the Temporal Shunt spell from Explorer's Guide to Wildemount.
They think we watch for the dnd but no we watch for Chris trotts dnd beyond ads
Bravo guys, you did great! This encounter was very good.
20:13 I'm curious as to what how Rhiannon got a plus 4 bonus to that dex save. She has a +3 from her aura, but she should also get at least another +2 from shield master. Sheild master lets you add your shield's AC to dex saves that target only you (pg. 170 of the PHB) so she should have had at least a +5 to that roll excluding magic items
@@o.d.d.792 thank you. She still should try to remember that solo dex save bonus from shield master. An extra 10% chance to succeed is always good
2:37:16 - You may have outsmarted me, by I have outsmarted your outsmarting
Ravs had major episode 4 Obi Wan vibes with the Lich
I see yall slept on spare the dying with ya boi lu there :)
Lich Phaedrus: It's so sad that Steve Jobs died of ligma
Johan: who the hell is Steve Jobs
Lich Phaedrus: Ligma balls
Lucuis:Nooooooooo!!!!
Its unfortunate that lucies didnt get to meet the arcanist, that wouldve been such a great character development moment
when sentry lays on hands herself I imagine a power bar filling up.
great flow of the battle
Such a awesome fight Mark! It was so detailed and so much going on at once. I love the multiple objectives too.
Much much more interesting than just a big boss sack of hit points. High rollers is the best :)
Happy belated birthday to you Katie

No one ever remembers that dodge grants advantage on dex saves...
Edit: nvm... someone actually remembered for once.

Edit: OMG BAHAHAHAHA ALMOST EVERYONE NOT KNOWING WHAT UNUS ANNUS IS BAHAHAHAHA (it’s ok lol still love y’all) memento mori 😔✊
It's time to go even further beyond
Technically the lich should have made an attack roll at disadvantage on Lucius while he was down
Failed I’m pleased to say!!!! This is bs he would make a great addition. Next campaign he should be in there
I totally agree :)
Trott you outdo yourself every single time
Ravs really pulled Obi Wan on Lich
2:25:00 C'mon Rhi, why did you Disengage when your AC is thru the roof? You could take down the lich with smites and then worry about healing Lucius, when he can actually be healed.
? strange criticism.
It's an RP choice. Not mechanical/power gamer.
@@TheBaldParakeet Haven't finished the vid yet, but that choice is likely to get Lucius killed again.

Edit: My poor heart, anyone else?
He turned himself into a potted plant. Funniest shit I’ve ever seen.

@@flutterg1035 why are ya looking at the comments before finishing the episode
@@MaliciousGrim05 because people post time stamps of important parts of the vod example when break starts, when it ends, when the episode starts, sponsors etc etc
Its a little bs that the Lich is taking Legendary Actions in response to turns taken by creatures that aren't present in its timeline....
In terms of counter spell, is the rule that the DM needs to know the lvl of the players’ spells but the players have to guess the DM’s spells?

Edit: Oh Nova is above 100 HP too it seems.
aila - master of tactics, understander of action economy, wizard of class roles
Time stop should not have effected players in another time. Skipped like 3 turns for Nova and Quil I think.

If Kim looked more like Helena Bonham Carter, she would BE Helena Bonham Carter...
question for Mark: Would Quill be able to do magic in the future because Hesper isn't around anymore?
Hespa would rejoin siaska (whatever her name is) and so quill would then be a cleric fo siaska but specifically the part of her that's hespa

Anyone know the BGM playing during Trott's sponsored section?
I must say they use spell slots like there is no tomorrow and sometime their spell choice is baffling.
Well, considering starbane can come back anytime for them it makes sense.
The ads are honestly the best part of the episode
