The telepathic conversation between Baradun and Bob might be one of the funniest thing I've seen at a D&D table, I chuckled like and idiot the whole time.
Naw, Clem isn't really safe. Bob sneak attack bow damage or his eldritch necrotic blast , Bodger has his throw hammer skill. Baradun probably is going down, but if he doesn't he's a sorcerer, probably use shatter on the mast to give her fall damage.
Bodger accidentally hits the mast, trans-morphing it into a giant slobbering world-devouring wyrm by accident, and it eats all of them. Starting with Clem because she already was in its mouth anyway when it came into existence... Bodger will try his trusted trick of diving over the side of the ship, but does not make it in time, Baraduns panicked fireball ricochets and hits Bob full on, so when he is swallowed in turn he is not conscious enough to do the exploding from the inside out...a dark fog settles over everything and now Greg has to roll for ini... (Of course accompanied by the maniacal laughter from the Other Leathill, or is he?) Good luck! Tiny, freshLife versus Eternal Blackness (and that is exactly why I never DM...)
I love that they just decided to not only tell Yorren that Barradun is very much alive, but also SHOW him in a playfight exacly how powerfull Barradun and the Dickheads are... Well done guys, Im proud of you all🤣
9:13 onwards for a bit gave such pre-school vibes 🤣The two noisey kids when the teachers trying to speak with someone and that one kid in the background who just wants to stack things 😂
I just love how good these guys on noticing hints! First they tell Clems mom that Laethil is very evil. Shebis shocked to hear that, it just pulls the ground undetneath her feet. Then they in a dinner party with Leathil and find out that Leathil is a family name. Now then they talk abaut meeting both Leathils and explaining how dire is this situacion whole meat up would happen in the university. Rob even called it out and yet NONE OF THEM picked it up? Huh?! Perception 100 from Baradun and the d heads :D
Being that Rowan has done most of this DnD adventure half naked, I just noticed he's gotten a bit more into shape recently. Good on you Rowan starting to look like a true barbarian.
It was beautifully in character though. Baradun would believe himself more powerful than anybody. He did name the group after himself and it stuck after all.
@@Nurichiri and he just as well forgot he was deprived of most of his powers, even though he is slowly getting them back, he's still not in top condition
Honestly, I was laughing during the dinner that I was crying and coughing uncontrollably the whole time. AND THE CAPTIONS!!! SOO GOOD!!! "Secretly telephaths obviously" 🤣
Speaking of Lord Sir Conrau, given how Rob takes advantage of BatD forgetting stuff, I wouldn't be surprised if they soon bumped into Conrau who is currently on a world tour and finding out that nobody knows who he is.
"I could do a buzz quiz on this and the answers would make no sense"".🤣🤣 You all make Thursday my favorite day genuinely. Thank you vldl for all the laughs.❤️💙
Loved the ep! But someone needs to mention to Greg that Clerics are seriously powerful! He feels like he is restrained by his previous artificer experience :P Also, kudos to Robert for throwing in a little safe PvP zone to lighten up the mood and remind everyone that they can be lethal in combat!
It was the best time to see Greg let out his last bit of hate and rage for all the shit Baradun has given him. I would love to see Greg later on acting pius even though he let out his demons in front of everyone.
Oh my, what a fun little distraction. A simulated fight between all members of the group, without any consequences at all. Rob has nothing nefarious going on behind the scenes.
This story will never end... And I am immensely glad of it. Which is only worth a series where they robbed the dragon cave for THIRTY MINUTES. I love you guysXD
Hahah I just cannot! Adam is the only one, who has really tried from the beginning to keep up with the details of the story and so has the best chance of manipulating it.. However, that man could not scheme to save his life 😂
You’re such a tease! Every single deliberate and knowing (and dare I say mischievous) glance at the camera has me questioning what I may have missed! 😝 But I’ll hazard a guess… 🤔 hmmm, maybe an odd reaction from Palette? A frown or grimace or furrowed brow? Owain seemed mostly genuine in his support. But there’s opportunity for him (Palette) if he were to sell out B & the Ds… Yeah, I’m totally reaching with that - it’s so thin it’s nearly transparent. Obvs my perception check was quite low as well. 😂
It has to be elf-related since only Clem and Bob would notice. This is long shot but I hope someone recorded the gang's exposition dump and gave it to Laethil or the family with Dark affiliation (sorry forgot the name).
@@Vermouth_19 oh that’s a great point! I definitely rolled a 1 on my perception check. I didn’t put it together that only the two of them were asked to make that check. 🤦🏻♀️
Way to go guys, partake of a PVP fight in front of the bad guy's family. That is by no means a way for them to gauge your ability for later, there's no way what so ever that this will be used against you, at all.
@@KhanAndMrPointyEars Yeah, definitely what I'm doing here... no need to worry, I'm sure... and that time I look shocked and then mouth 'twenty' at the camera, I'm sure that was nothing too...
@@RobertHartleyGM and all those pointed questions at their intentions and feelings… feels like someone in the dinner party had a little extra magic going on, maybe sensing that stuff? Hmmm. Lots of little secrets
I love how they had such a good opportunity to show how powerfull Baradun is and prove to one of the families that he is the real one, but as true Dickheads they went with 'f*** it, lets kill him first!':)
When there are so many things in this episode that you do not trust that you don't even know where to begin 🤣 I genuinely hope the VR PvP is just the guys (and us) have some relaxing fun though.
Sure hope Baradune does some high level spells because as of right now he looks like the imposter. They should have let him win to show the others just how powerful he still is.
I love how this went from going to the elven isles for help against laethil, and at some point! Go. "maybe if we tell him about the darklord, he'll be on our side" the cheery optisim hurts sometimes.
Is it just me, or did I even hear and see that damn fly who has brought its apprentice? Always two there are... That said - the telepathing killed me xD
OMG! How are we meant to wait a whole week for this showdown?! It's the fight of the century and I feel like we've been waiting for this forever! Go Bob!!! Sneak attack the hell out of them while they're all distracted! Do us rogues and nightblades proud!
I think Rob does such an great job coming up with different and unique plots and interactions/fights! I can't wait to see how this fight ends and watch Rob's behind the scenes on this!!! Epic job everyone!!!
Would be great but I feel like a swift Fireball or flying Bob attack will very quickly see an end to Clem, shame her yeeting Bob through dimension door and off the boat needs him to be willing. Still proud of her for giving it a go and not just watching, yay Britt/Clem!
Wow... 9:12 Adam and Ben were being quite rude to Britt there talking over her. Good on you to shush them Rob. Redeeming quality is they seemed to realise it and did indeed shush. Quick question, how much does the fly get paid? Its been in many episodes now... how long till it polymorphs into one of Bahamuts companions? :D (yes I know those are canaries)
They've had a fly problem for over 2 years. So it's like the 24th fly they are dealing with (house flies live 28 days) So I wouldn't bother paying the fly
This whole table session is just great. All the episodes from it have just been *chefs kiss*. It's really obvious that since the reappearance of Adam/Greg, you've been having a blast. That has somehow reinvigorated everyone. Really shows how every piece of the puzzle needs to be there for it to work 100%.
Love these guys! But am totally bewildered how they’ve managed to ignore like every single one of Rob’s hints. Poor guy must be constantly reworking the plot armor in between (and during) every session! Looking forward to the new studio where they can play more!
What if this isn’t a VR battle and it’s just a magic trick and they are actually fighting each other 😱 Edit- Robs normal rules are pvp only counts if they agree to fight each other which they just did.
And if this is true we know bodger will go crazy and kill everyone he nearly did this before when fighting slughorn the e veil wizard back in the past 🙈
It was really a glimpse of genius to incorporate the pool about who would win into an episode,even if I'm pretty sure that's a trap for the whole party lol. One of them should have refused just to be sure nothing was happening in the "real world". That said, it's always nice to see them pull out ideas and ways to not fuck up,now that also Rowan is interested in the whole story it's even better. Good work VLDL and Robert as the awesome DM you're
I've recently returned to being a DM, and I'm glad that, so fresh in my mind, is the advice from Rob if your party is getting too rowdy and meta and preventing the story they want to be told from being told: "SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
Oh my god I DIED watching that conversation at the table. This is DEFINITELY on of my favourite episodes so far (even though I love all of them) Ben is just the best. He is so funny! Love u guys!
Congrats to rob with this story! I love the conflict between which of the two bad guys is worse, and whether they get laethil to help defeat the wither or try cure the wither and get him to stop laethil

Must be nice not needing a "previously on" montage when you've got Rowan constantly asking questions.
The subtitles keeping score on how many times the guys miss the fly is hilarious
Minute 18 Fly: 20 VLDL: 0
Thats awesome, thanks for pointing this out.
Laethil isnt "Evil" ..Hes only actively tried to kill me twice, monologued about wanting to kill me 3x, and hired assassins to do it for him
all very 'scold-able' offenses
Yeah, but the target is Baradun, so…
His actions are frowned upon.
Right? Kelothac *is* a gray, complicated situation at the moment, but Laethil isn't. He's pretty clearly evil.
I would say that he is most certainly neutral evil. :)
The telepathic conversation between Baradun and Bob might be one of the funniest thing I've seen at a D&D table, I chuckled like and idiot the whole time.

I spat my lunch at work. I had to clean that up. 😅
I can't be entirely sure, but I think BOB likes fish.

Bodger is a boss fight in a character. What is it at basically 400 health now with the half damage effect when he rages?

Dingo dingo
Hahah I just cannot! Adam is the only one, who has really tried from the beginning to keep up with the details of the story and so has the best chance of manipulating it.. However, that man could not scheme to save his life 😂
Hamish and Adam are brilliant in the green screen. Laughing the whole way through.
Getting sitting on a chair vibes .
Ben and Adam conversing telepathically - Legends!
What do you think they missed with that low perception check at dinner?
You’re such a tease! Every single deliberate and knowing (and dare I say mischievous) glance at the camera has me questioning what I may have missed! 😝
But I’ll hazard a guess… 🤔 hmmm, maybe an odd reaction from Palette? A frown or grimace or furrowed brow? Owain seemed mostly genuine in his support. But there’s opportunity for him (Palette) if he were to sell out B & the Ds…
Yeah, I’m totally reaching with that - it’s so thin it’s nearly transparent. Obvs my perception check was quite low as well. 😂
It has to be elf-related since only Clem and Bob would notice. This is long shot but I hope someone recorded the gang's exposition dump and gave it to Laethil or the family with Dark affiliation (sorry forgot the name).
@@Vermouth_19 oh that’s a great point! I definitely rolled a 1 on my perception check. I didn’t put it together that only the two of them were asked to make that check. 🤦🏻♀️
Is someone else listening in on their telepathic conversation?
haha 😆
They missed that this Laethil knows they were telepathing
The telepathic conversation might be one of the funniest moments in the whole series. Right up there with fish lish.
But do you know HOW to eat a fish lish?? Lol loved that part 🤣🤣🤣
126 episodes and there hasn't been a single conversation that hasn't been derailed one way or another
Way to go guys, partake of a PVP fight in front of the bad guy's family. That is by no means a way for them to gauge your ability for later, there's no way what so ever that this will be used against you, at all.
How do they not notice that Rob has been rolling this whole dinner
Sometimes I think GMs roll randomly just to get your attention.
haha 😆
@@KhanAndMrPointyEars thats what i do. love making the players nervous. 😊
@@KhanAndMrPointyEars Yeah, definitely what I'm doing here... no need to worry, I'm sure... and that time I look shocked and then mouth 'twenty' at the camera, I'm sure that was nothing too...
@@RobertHartleyGM and all those pointed questions at their intentions and feelings… feels like someone in the dinner party had a little extra magic going on, maybe sensing that stuff? Hmmm. Lots of little secrets
Baradun is definitely in for some bad times soon with good ol' Laethil...
The one he hates, not this cousin.
I love how they had such a good opportunity to show how powerfull Baradun is and prove to one of the families that he is the real one, but as true Dickheads they went with 'f*** it, lets kill him first!':)
When there are so many things in this episode that you do not trust that you don't even know where to begin 🤣 I genuinely hope the VR PvP is just the guys (and us) have some relaxing fun though.
That fly's just dingo. The true hero of this epic story. He never gets beaten.
That fly that is flying about, is massive... It stands out so much when flying about lol God that has to be so annoying.
Baradun and Bob's telepathic conversation is amazing 😂
4:51 That head shake and shrug motion... I'm imagining his character actually just does that, out of nowhere, and laughing my ass off. lmao
Sure hope Baradune does some high level spells because as of right now he looks like the imposter. They should have let him win to show the others just how powerful he still is.
Rob: You can PVP without consequences
*(x) doubt*
Waiting for the bit where BOB'S eyes bleed black smoke and all the elves look at him and shout: 'What the hell was that?!' And the team go.....oh.
I love how this went from going to the elven isles for help against laethil, and at some point! Go. "maybe if we tell him about the darklord, he'll be on our side" the cheery optisim hurts sometimes.
I look forward to this every week. That greenscreen at 25:45 was the best!
Petition for Rob to introduce a Fly enemy so VLDL can beat the fly at least once
It would be a tpk,you've seen poor Bob fight.
This is gonna be so good for the group's team spirit. Beating each other up is a great bonding exercise
Great idea, showing all of these people and the cousin of the bad guy everything you can do. Surely, nothing bad will come of that.
Inspiration needs to be given to whomever can slay the flies. That's a task worthy of a true hero.
Nice addition of the music in the background, really great for ambiance.
Is it just me, or did I even hear and see that damn fly who has brought its apprentice? Always two there are... That said - the telepathing killed me xD
That thing is getting bigger, I swear....
OMG! How are we meant to wait a whole week for this showdown?! It's the fight of the century and I feel like we've been waiting for this forever! Go Bob!!! Sneak attack the hell out of them while they're all distracted! Do us rogues and nightblades proud!
Baradun should have done that fireball. He needs to look powerful to convince people he's not a doppelganger
HOLY CRAP, Rowan legitimately laughed at something
I think Rob does such an great job coming up with different and unique plots and interactions/fights! I can't wait to see how this fight ends and watch Rob's behind the scenes on this!!! Epic job everyone!!!
The AC of that fly is out of this world !!!
I love that in the subtitles they are keeping score with the fly.
I couldn't stop laughing at the telepathic conversation bit! SO glad I work in the office alone on Thursdays 😂😂😂
Jake (the fly) has called reinforcements!!!!
My favorite part is that neither Baradun or Clem recognized that Yoren had Detect Thoughts going during the early dinner conversation.
Prediction:
Clem beats them all from her sniper perch.
haha 😆
Would be great but I feel like a swift Fireball or flying Bob attack will very quickly see an end to Clem, shame her yeeting Bob through dimension door and off the boat needs him to be willing. Still proud of her for giving it a go and not just watching, yay Britt/Clem!
I think Bodger will beat them all, or could potentially because he also has range attacks to strike Clem up there.
Yeah. Clem, "I am safe up here."
Bodger, throws hammer
@@Bojo491 not to mention enough health to tank a hit from everyone. Twice. And probably still not be bloodied.
If you can prove yourself as investigators. “Looks straight at Detective Greg”
This is beautiful, I love this series, more please
The telepathing bit was bloody brilliant. I LIKE FISH
I basically binge watched all these episodes in Dec-January, now there are no episodes left. Dayum this is good stuff.
7:34 I love how Rowan slowly moves into frame
Thought for a sec he was gonna stare at camera
Wow... 9:12 Adam and Ben were being quite rude to Britt there talking over her. Good on you to shush them Rob. Redeeming quality is they seemed to realise it and did indeed shush.
Quick question, how much does the fly get paid? Its been in many episodes now... how long till it polymorphs into one of Bahamuts companions? :D (yes I know those are canaries)
pretty sure the perception check was whether they noticed that the real laethil is the fly and already spying on them!
They've had a fly problem for over 2 years. So it's like the 24th fly they are dealing with (house flies live 28 days)
So I wouldn't bother paying the fly
The music goes a bit too hard when Clem starts to question Rob's world building 😂
Dude the amount of times the guys interrupted the DM and Clem was insane. I've never seen a more hyper and unfocused table lol
You e never played DND then haha
The dice-curse is spreading. But having less impact cause they have high modifiers and stuff. LOVED when Rob causally rolled and noone noticed.
Seriously fan for life . Rob you are a genius. I can't wait to see what you all do with a studio. Hoorah eh Haha
Aww, thanks!
Rowan really committed to his object work starting at 4:00!
Someone needs to bless them with a flyspray and a fly swatter. Or one of those bug zappers.
I'm pretty sure if Baradun uses the blink ring as an action, he can quicken up a levelled spell, he doesn't just have to quicken firebolt.
Yeah I can indeed. Don’t often do it tho 😅
You overestimate his power!
@Viva La Dirt League D&D cmon Adam you need to be revising
I always just thought he was just conserving sorcery points
@@Viper3220only the quickened metamagic uses sorcery points, so if he used a levelled spell it wouldn't matter.
This whole table session is just great. All the episodes from it have just been *chefs kiss*. It's really obvious that since the reappearance of Adam/Greg, you've been having a blast. That has somehow reinvigorated everyone. Really shows how every piece of the puzzle needs to be there for it to work 100%.
Love these guys! But am totally bewildered how they’ve managed to ignore like every single one of Rob’s hints. Poor guy must be constantly reworking the plot armor in between (and during) every session! Looking forward to the new studio where they can play more!
26:09 a strong competition for the Wilhelm scream right there :)))
Britt outed as a pinterest addict, it's okay, we can help. Just talk to your friends and family :D
What if this isn’t a VR battle and it’s just a magic trick and they are actually fighting each other 😱
Edit-
Robs normal rules are pvp only counts if they agree to fight each other which they just did.
*innocent face*
@@RobertHartleyGM no you didn’t!!! 🤯😱
And if this is true we know bodger will go crazy and kill everyone he nearly did this before when fighting slughorn the e veil wizard back in the past 🙈
Just a few episodes ago, I was so proud of them coming up with solid plans and strategies
I love how easily the group were convinced that attacking each other in 'VR' wouldn't actually hurt anyone
It was really a glimpse of genius to incorporate the pool about who would win into an episode,even if I'm pretty sure that's a trap for the whole party lol. One of them should have refused just to be sure nothing was happening in the "real world". That said, it's always nice to see them pull out ideas and ways to not fuck up,now that also Rowan is interested in the whole story it's even better. Good work VLDL and Robert as the awesome DM you're
Thanks.
I've recently returned to being a DM, and I'm glad that, so fresh in my mind, is the advice from Rob if your party is getting too rowdy and meta and preventing the story they want to be told from being told:
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
Oh my god I DIED watching that conversation at the table. This is DEFINITELY on of my favourite episodes so far (even though I love all of them)
Ben is just the best. He is so funny! Love u guys!
In a way. I hope that wishing well comes back and Bodger gets to have his locket back. Which he gave to Dirk. Because it was Bodgers to give
Congrats to rob with this story! I love the conflict between which of the two bad guys is worse, and whether they get laethil to help defeat the wither or try cure the wither and get him to stop laethil
