What this needs is a half-time break interview with the Heroes and then the Tree/Ghost. Interviewer (wandering over to Rowan) :"Well Rowan, you're under pressure there, how are you going to turn this around?" Rowan (nodding): "It's a close one, we need to get some goals on the scoreboard. We've been pinned down...." Interviewer :"....You're buried alive" Rowan: "It's ok, there are pebbles down here that are being really supportive" etc.
It is a sad day when I finally catch up on all the episodes since the Baulder's Gate cast one shot. I have watched every video and laughed at every silly bit along that way! High Rollers crew, you are such a talented cast of characters and I am thankful to have stumbled into your little corner of the Internet! ❤️ Bing bong! 🎶
I've been watching/listening for like a year now starting with Lightfall usually when I'm at work to pass the time & I'm now only a month away, no more 4 hour binges for half my shift 😢
2:28:47 This Tom's talk is like that time in the Runescape One-Shot where he looks at Mark and says, fully comprehending the bs he's about to plead for, and I quote, "Mark, would you say mud is considered... undead rock?..." (I'll never forget that bc that's the stupidest shit he's ever tried to pull and I had full 5 min laughing fit. Never change Tommy boy, never change)
I didn't know where to message this but my Clever Toad shirt is by far my favorite shirt, I am from the states and have recieved serveral complements from people who have no clue about the reference they just loved the design! The quality is superb as well, well done Highrollers! and Thank you!
Very similar situatuin with me too! Not a single living soul knows or understands the shirt. But so many compliments about the cool design! Absolutely adore the Clever Toad
On that one i would have been tempted to go: «extra! extra! Read all about it!» Maybe an added roll to see how much slander to throw in if its «dante stood up by diplomat!» or «notorious cult leader and heretic ophelia dela rosa of the house of blood broke elana vidantes heart!» or even «cult leader heretic vampire ophelia dela rosa …»
Tom and all those nat 20 death saving throws, is the same situation as what happened the first time I had my nieces play a D&D game with me. They were investigating a farm found the owners dead, went to investigate the bodies and the bodies came back to safe as zombies. They got trapped in by the zombies and one of them kept getting knocked out, but kept rolling a nat 20 every death save😧 it was crazy!🤯
Damn the dice rolls in this episode were all over the place. Absolutely loved Tom's moment with his two amazing rolls there. Also nice throwback to Aerois moment with the forgotten potion. Great episode and a great boss fight too.
@@deriznohappehquite Yeah, but once they help her, presumably all the haunt-y-ness will be gone, which is also their reward lol: An inn that isn't haunted by a malevolent spirit who breaks everything and scares away workmen :P
When I first heard Mark mention the necrotic-infused wood, my immediate reaction was make an instrument for Rowan, like a flute with Tyrea's banshee effect. My second idea was a pipe for Gruff that lets him speak with the dead.
A staff for zanthius that can convert one spell damage type to necrotic has 3 chargers before restocking at a long rest gives him a mele weapon and different damage type
MAGIC ITEM IDEA: Since the power level is 3rd level magic or lower - a pendant, necklace or other jewelry that casts revivify on the wearer if they die (potentially one time use, maybe really long recharge) If you do this idea PLEASE put the thing on xantheus or ophelia (chaos twins = dying a lot)
The wood needs to make a talisman that allows Percy to talk. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee omg I got on here to leave a comment the second I heard about the death wood
for some reason i just imagined this in my head... *Rowan meeting up with a druid necromancer that is going to make his wooden death finger* ''You know i was thinking about putting the death finger in 2 places at once.. one that can be seen to everyone *shows his finger* and the other that will be secret and well hidden way down there *points down* at the other end of the body'' *After a moment of akward silence* ''That would then make it a death toe though''
Just a thought. If you wanna use that wood to make Rowan tankyer, you can also look at it as magic wood. Bark skin is wood related. If this is interesting yall can think on ur own. Have a good day.
@@mollymauktealeaf ikr. But isn't it cool how a niche spell like that kinda fits here. Also I just wanna clarify that what I meant was more: barkskin is a thing btw, honebrew if you want. I only got the idea because in BG3 there's a similarly themed enemy that drops a similarly themed item used to make an elixir of barkskin. Which I used on my bard, they also had +0 dex, what a coincidence.
I for see ophelia getting rowan who is held up by his cobold friend to sing that song from 16 candles(insert ur mushey love song here) wile ophelia tries to get her attention buy throwing rocks at her window
I haven't followed your show for a few months and have caught up on 20 episodes in the last few days. i wish i had done it sooner. I happen to be in london (and the UK in general) for the first time soon... but that's just one week after your live show :( :( I would have loved to see you live... too bad it won't work out.
Are there any dnd beyond character sheets or anything like the old Aerois campaign had? I've been watching the old one and it would be cool to check their new characters and stuff. thank you :3
If I had a quarter for every time a party member reduced damage and got taken to exactly 0, I would have 2 quarters. Which isn't a lot, but it's wired that it happened twice.
I think it can be too punishing. Specially considering that some enemys have abilities that grab the fate for themselves. The enemy gains x ammount of dice and are capable to use even more devastating habilities wile the players loose the oportunity to use the dice to have better rolls.
Just remember, all of these abilities that Mark has he could just do as a DM for free. The fate system they have actually gives the players MORE opportunities to be cool like the DM is.
Yeah I'm not a fan. The players feel obliged to use it every roll or lose it, which feels like it loses it's meaning as an add on mechanic when every roll includes fate.
@TheFacelessEvil yeah. It doesn't feel like fate. It feels like a gimmick. I'd much prefer it be a once per session thing that players could use after a die is rolled but before results are revealed. And mark use those abilities anyway. At least this way it feels like them twisting fate.
This is the most "Alice in Chains" episode of high rollers I've seen. Bear with me, light spoilers ahead... . . . We have most of the party *down in a hole*, They are covered in *dirt*, fight more than one *rotten apple*, finally get *them bones*, get the best resource to carve an *angry chair,* then get to sleep so their teeth don't *grind*. The next morning, Ophelia asks, "What the hell have I* done, tries to explain that *it ain't like that*, but ultimately has *no excuses*. That said, I hope she gets to try *again*.
ANTI SPOILER BARRIER
Hey birb
Praise the birb, long may he reign!
Praise birb
Birb
Wooden item infused with necromancy? Sounds like a fridge to me
That was my immediate reaction
I thought they could make their own undead magic toad, but careful its messages might actually tell the future
😂😂😂
"You're all going to die."
"It always says that."
"In fairness, it's going to be right over a long enough time."
Xantheus the Majority of this episode "Call an ambulance! Call an Ambulance! But not for me!"
What this needs is a half-time break interview with the Heroes and then the Tree/Ghost.
Interviewer (wandering over to Rowan) :"Well Rowan, you're under pressure there, how are you going to turn this around?"
Rowan (nodding): "It's a close one, we need to get some goals on the scoreboard. We've been pinned down...."
Interviewer :"....You're buried alive"
Rowan: "It's ok, there are pebbles down here that are being really supportive"
etc.
Xantheus going from almost dead to obliterating the tree, in the same turn, was so good. He became Doom guy, too angry to die!

Two hours to fight a tree. Weak 😂
Also, that ending was perfect. I bet Ophelia wished the tree killed her 😂
what an insanely intense episode holy shit. Some of my favourite combat this season yet
Laughed my ass off at the end.Poor Ophelia lol.
Who knew a haunted tree nearly killing half the party would be the least of the drama that episodes lmao.
Ophelia may have survived the tree, but her social life is sprawled out in the Greylands, waiting for the vulture zombies to take it.
@@kevinn3438 Ophelia's social life is what I am here for now
The dice guide the tale. This was hilarious
On that one i would have been tempted to go: «extra! extra! Read all about it!» Maybe an added roll to see how much slander to throw in if its «dante stood up by diplomat!» or «notorious cult leader and heretic ophelia dela rosa of the house of blood broke elana vidantes heart!» or even «cult leader heretic vampire ophelia dela rosa …»

Such a perfect episode. Rhi went from OMG not again to that superb toe curling moment.
And necrotic wood.
Perfect
Damn the dice rolls in this episode were all over the place. Absolutely loved Tom's moment with his two amazing rolls there. Also nice throwback to Aerois moment with the forgotten potion.
Great episode and a great boss fight too.
a NAT12 becoming an unnatural 20 on accident was hilarious LOL
I was screaming last episode OPHELIA THE DATE!!!! 😩😩😩
The S&M shop named "Hold Person" or "Hold Monster"
Looking forward to Sister Ophelia going to the school and preaching the good word of the Grave Farther 🤣
I caught this whilst on a lovely holiday in Wales. Needless to say, Gruff was close to my heart during this time.
The amount of fun you guys have with death saves is honestly inspiring 😂
Mark better give them some Lair Actions for this inn.
Hey, a use for the creepy wood maybe? "We want it haunted again, but friendly to us haunted." xD
@@Techstriker1 no, it should be free for helping Tyria. They’ve had three hard fights for this tavern. They’ve paid in blood.
@@deriznohappehquite Yeah, but once they help her, presumably all the haunt-y-ness will be gone, which is also their reward lol: An inn that isn't haunted by a malevolent spirit who breaks everything and scares away workmen :P
Inner Quill channeling nat20 portents like "FFS DONT BE LIKE ME"
FOR THE EMPRESS!!!! FOR THE ALGORITHM!!!!!
The perfect mix of comedy and action, absolutely amazing episode!
Yes, high rolling up over here
When I first heard Mark mention the necrotic-infused wood, my immediate reaction was make an instrument for Rowan, like a flute with Tyrea's banshee effect. My second idea was a pipe for Gruff that lets him speak with the dead.
Perfect end to brat summer. Mark gave us apples rotten right to the core.
Ophelia BORFED IT majorly
Ophelia is such a vibe.
I love that once they found out, everyone had their hand in front of their mouth😂
The BEST still pic of the buryage !!! :)
Wow... Ophelia? Just wow!!!
Ophelia dies twice in one episode 🤣🙈
Kinda hoping they use the gravewood to make a display case for rowans own reanimated lucky toad for the inn 😂🐸
Love the Team❤ Love the World you build there Mark, you have created me a safeplace🙏😇 keep the dices rolling
Everyone wants to live in a fantasy world, until even the apple tree starts eating you lol
Awwww, that was BRUTAL. Jesus, that was actually the worst, rip Ophelia 💀
1:05:43 Haha was Mark's "It will kill" a Forged in Fire reference!? 🛠 🔥
A staff for zanthius that can convert one spell damage type to necrotic has 3 chargers before restocking at a long rest gives him a mele weapon and different damage type
A wooden crown for Percy 😮
2:35:34 bad dragon reference was not on my bingo card lolol
MAGIC ITEM IDEA: Since the power level is 3rd level magic or lower - a pendant, necklace or other jewelry that casts revivify on the wearer if they die (potentially one time use, maybe really long recharge)
If you do this idea PLEASE put the thing on xantheus or ophelia (chaos twins = dying a lot)
Nah. You would want to steal the crownsteel before revivifying xantheus.
bruv i just came across one of your videos from 3 years ago and now i'm obsessed with dnd
A dining-room table would be perfect. 👍 With an epoxy river in the middle. 😊
That ending.... the campaign can end now, it cannot get better
Almost TPK'd Tree Party Kill
This episode has some great ideas for shorts ❤
fantasy bad dragon killed me lmao
The pit, love yall for the reference.
"ATTACKED BY TWEES"

The wood needs to make a talisman that allows Percy to talk. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee omg I got on here to leave a comment the second I heard about the death wood
Brutal ep
amazing episode enjoyed even the long fight
My god, the rolls this episode....
for some reason i just imagined this in my head...
*Rowan meeting up with a druid necromancer that is going to make his wooden death finger*
''You know i was thinking about putting the death finger in 2 places at once.. one that can be seen to everyone *shows his finger*
and the other that will be secret and well hidden way down there *points down* at the other end of the body''
*After a moment of akward silence*
''That would then make it a death toe though''
Amazing end battle
I wonder if the Dungeons and Dragons shop has a Duke Ignareus line.
it will not probally come back., but Buckles and Bands.., Great store name,
Just a thought.
If you wanna use that wood to make Rowan tankyer, you can also look at it as magic wood.
Bark skin is wood related.
If this is interesting yall can think on ur own. Have a good day.
oooh you said magic wood ;) (sorry)
Barkskin's a pretty awful spell tho
@@mollymauktealeaf ikr. But isn't it cool how a niche spell like that kinda fits here.

“Watch this drive” 1:52:40
2:38:20 OH OPHELIA IS COOKED 😭😭😭
AND THE 1 ROLL?? Oh my ship has sunken before it even left the port
If it were me I’d take that magic wood and make a staff to summon the apple minions
Rock paper wizard is the game you were talking about with the burning hands
I for see ophelia getting rowan who is held up by his cobold friend to sing that song from 16 candles(insert ur mushey love song here) wile ophelia tries to get her attention buy throwing rocks at her window
Rowan could veneer or engrave or even make a lute pick out of the ghost wood.

Ophelia thought the worst thing that was gonna happen today was almost dying
She was wrong.
A wooden mask for Percival
Are there any dnd beyond character sheets or anything like the old Aerois campaign had? I've been watching the old one and it would be cool to check their new characters and stuff. thank you :3
Maybe Ophelia should have died. That would have been an excuse she might have accepted.
Name for the shop: dungeons and bad dragons
Nah should of made table of revivify for the shrine or a fridge... 2:30:19
Ophelia dodged a bullet.
It says on Twitter that episode 36 is out but doesn't appear to me 😢
Hell yeah dnd time 🎉
Is it too late to suggest Bondage and Gaggers for the S&M shop? 😅
1:17:25 had me in stitches!
🔖 2:45:00
Xanmas
Damn, the housing market in Ashen Rest is almost as bad as in California.
59:40 1:17:06 1:43:40 2:01:55 2:38:15
Should have been Crab apples
make a grave wood ring for percival i think he would like it
These pants are studded on the inside????
If I had a quarter for every time a party member reduced damage and got taken to exactly 0, I would have 2 quarters. Which isn't a lot, but it's wired that it happened twice.
three actually
What about a ring or something that does turn Undead
FOR THE ALGORITHM!
How about a wand of healing
What level are they?
Level 5 I’m pretty sure
I've actually grown to really dislike the fate system.
I think it can be too punishing. Specially considering that some enemys have abilities that grab the fate for themselves. The enemy gains x ammount of dice and are capable to use even more devastating habilities wile the players loose the oportunity to use the dice to have better rolls.
Just remember, all of these abilities that Mark has he could just do as a DM for free. The fate system they have actually gives the players MORE opportunities to be cool like the DM is.

I'd much prefer it be a once per session thing that players could use after a die is rolled but before results are revealed. And mark use those abilities anyway.
At least this way it feels like them twisting fate.
At this point, I believe our DM is not balancing things. These encounters are just not fair to the players.
gonna be honest this was kinda a frustrating episode to watch
This is the most "Alice in Chains" episode of high rollers I've seen. Bear with me, light spoilers ahead...
