Thank you for commenting
@@raulramos9950 I was typing it in the comment box as I listened to figure it out, since that was what was easiest, so I figured I'd leave the comment for others to know:D
I laughed so hard at the sound effects and now knowing this makes it only that much funnier!
When Nova introduces Lucius to her mum, he repeats everything back to her. "He's a high elf" "I'm a high elf" EXCEPT for when Nova says "He's Awesome"
oh no! I didn't notice! our boy, our sparkly self-esteem issues boy!
Betcha never thought you would hear Sentry be "happy to see Breeze" :P
Also they should explain about the Genasi engineer who they saved. How living in the empire means being used up and then those bright minds who were loyal to the empire were being murdered when the project was over. Is that what you want for Genass? For the bright minds like Nova?
I have been with this campaign since the start and I do not regret it at all.
I’ve been there till the start of light fall these amazing people gave me confidence and creativity so I am with you remixed
I came is around the time episode 26 was out. 'Twas wild.
Such a great story episode. Mark's really stepping it up now: all the things he's been saving up.
And the 'we didn't know what we were voting for" bit. Crying.
As soon as the dragon agreed to come with the Stormchasers, I wanted to triple like the video.
Spoilers man. I had no idea the stormchasers were in this
"I'VE JUST PAID FOR THESE UPGRADES, DON'T! WAIST THEM!!!"
So funny XD
Don't forget all the folk you have affected along the way Stormchasers. Like that smith in Rosehall that was so fascinated by Sentry. Maybe she could be a "mechanic/healer" for the new Glass Empire. Don't forget. Aerois is it's people. Not it's leaders. There are allies out there 👍
I'm at about 2 hrs and 30 min in, and all I can think of is:
Ayla = Thor
Sentry = Captain America
Nova = Iron Man
Quill = Hawkeye
Moon Star = Black Widow
Lucious = the cop that started repeating Cap's directions
When Quill was under zone of truth I thought Tom was going to jokingly yell, "Lucious has a secret basement".

When I started watching this series on a whim a few months ago, I never expected to make it through even one episode, let alone a hundred... I thought it would be boring. Nope, first few funny lines from Lucius and I was hooked line and sinker. With each episode, I appreciate everything about it more and more - Mark's amazing DM skills and sound effects, Trott's ads and shenanigans, each characters uniqueness, the depth of the world, even the little inside jokes. You guys made me laugh out loud at work and even tear up at some of the emotional moments. I love it all, thank you so much for doing this.
Now it's time to catch up on everything else HR while waiting for new episodes ^^
V(W?)ortensar dystopia plot! Shame Nova went with the 'that is true' angle rather than the 'Ciaska literally sacrificed her life to become an unconscious force of nature to prevent Starbane from destroying the entire world, which also happens to be keeping V(W)ortensar on Aerois' angle.
Ik it's been a long time since Birdie got his eye bot I still can't get over the fact that His perception be so high that he can see into the future XD.
My god, I’ve known that 2:32:27 was coming for months, so glad I finally got there
I think Pyri was just a good guy who was a pawn.
So last episode Quill finally asked the question I've been hoping for. That was my suspicion that Star Bane was wrong, I didn't know how wrong, but I thought if Hadar consumes everything why would the world engine somehow be too much? I wish they had asked this earlier so they could spread the truth that Star Bane is wrong. I also wish he would use the eye to ask how to defeat Hadar. It is probably awful like Siaska or Vala having to sacrifice themselves. I could sort of understand the idea of joining Star Bane if it would work, but to crack open a planet destroy or relocate millions and then it will lead to empowering Hadar to actually escape and consume the multiverse seems like a good reason to fight.
Edited due to autocorrect mistakes.
Parable of Kallus Valkorian (Example story explaining how Kallus became the way he is)
Long ago, an ancient monster roams seeking nothing but to consume all life and matter and as a result, be destroyed and be nothing as well as making more monsters from the things it consumed. Eventually, a warrior has risen to the challenge of this monster. Stopping it from its path of destruction and nothingness and possibly destroying this thing.
The brave warrior ventured but not alone for other warriors rallied to his cause. It was a brutal endeavor but as time passed the warrior developed tactics and became vicious as well as brutal in order to survive and keep fighting this monster. Finally, the warrior was able to defeat the monster not kill it for the monster has retreated and only the warrior has survived and all his comrades have died except for the warrior.
When he returned scarred from battle to the people he protected, he was celebrated as a king glorified as well as prompted by the people and the warrior accepted. He then constructs castle walls to provide protection to the people and imposed curfews and recruited other warriors to enforce these restrictive laws to protect the people from the monster. It’s not long before the people voice their concern about feeling imprisoned so the warrior reminded them of his scars and struggle against the monster and how these restrictions are for their own safety. To ensure the people feel good about these restrictions he gave the people wealth and other forms of riches so they feel prosperous while being restricted but because of that he invoked the peoples’ greed and they attempted to rebel because of their greed they now desire freedom but their rebellion failed for their skills could not match the skills of one who pushed the monster back to retreat. As a result, the warrior saw that these greedy people he invoked were similar to the monster’s so he became more tyrannical and gave riches to those who were devoutly loyal as well as sharing similar noble goals to the warrior’s crusade against the monster. Then once again he claims he is only acting for their interests and everything is necessary for their well-being. The rebels have no chance against this warrior for they do not share the same battle experience as the warrior for the rebels only have a chance if they are able to persuade one of the warrior’s followers in the inner circle and convince that follower to their rebellious cause for the followers in the warrior’s inner circle share similar battle experiences with the monster.
Lesson: “He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby becomes a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
A villain uses brutal tactics to impose his will. Should you battle that villain and destroy him, the brutality of battle stays with you in your future interactions. If you are not careful, you are likely to use that brutality to impose your own will. Thus becoming the villain.
Beware of fear for when you’re afraid everything changes. Will you see yourself as a stranger, feel proud, or betray. The greatest fear will be realized when you fall and lose yourself to fear you will become what you fear all your lives
Funny comments
Aila Diplomacy 101
“Don’t side with Kallus he’s a b-word/a-hole”
Lucius: Don’t worry crew I’m here to save all of you!
Wolf Pack: Yeah! Captain’s here! (Hype noises)
Lucius: Protect the airship, I paid a lot of money for this!
Wolf Pack: (Hype dies down) What? Huh? Does he not care about us, was all that drinking with us fake?
Slight Reminder: Aila’s hammer description on jump distance should be updated since her STR is now 25 so it should be a long jump of 75ft now also a creature targeted by Aila’s hammer throw don’t make a DEX save to take the lightning damage only the creatures in front of the targeted creature does it.
I thought of that quote too just the other day. Kallus, for all the good he thinks he's doing, is almost as much as a monster as the monster he's fighting. Why fight the monster if you're just going to hurt everyone anyway? He really has to take an honest look at himself and see that he can't do it alone, and that the universe can't just rely on him.
Only thing is Hadar never retreated, siaska and other God's banished him. Starbane had nothing to do with that bit.
Cute story... nothing like what has happened in Mark's description though.
2:09:35 Mark: how would you like to ask the dragons?
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO TASTE SOME VALKYRIAN BLOOD, DRAGONS?!
Where Mark's NPC made me realize Zone of Truth should have been named Zone of Non-Deception.
Secret message decoded:
----
"trott is cool, mark is poopy"
Been a while since I have laughed as much as I did from Mark's noise at 2:32:28. That was so fucking funny.
The battle is so epic! Can't wait for next episode!
Trott cracked me up with the “mud water”
Filth. Bridge. Filth. Bridge. Filth. Bridge.
When Trott got his bag of yums while Nova and dear ol' mum were flapping their talking holes. Well played, Trott! x'D
Trott is cool
Mark is poopy
Savage
Was that Trott's secret add message?
@@jamesmaceaveli6679 indeed
Noice.
2:32:27 is my favourite moment of high rollers ever
Check “Total Party Breakdown - High Rollers”. This was my favorite moment when everyone loses it.
I like this story so much. All the twists drive me crazy. I can't wait for the next episode.
Holy shit, I just thought of something, and even thought I know no-one will read this I do feel I have to share it. The attack on the Tassadar should be the only attack they need to make to finish this war, as they have Valla, Strabane's doughtier, and if the empire works like most, she is the heir to the throne. There goal should not be to defend Aerois but rather form a coup d'etat on the Valkyrian empire, making Valla the emprises.
And considering I think starbane is planning on using her divinity to active the world engine Im not too entirely sure how well that would work out
When Trott pulled out the popcorn, I just about lost it
24:19 lol “but he *is* though…he is.” I love that she just wants to hit this guy with her hammer real good, just once. Just a real good one. One time.
Love the series trying to catch up and leaving comments on my way👌😃
As a Dungeon Master for Icewind Dale Rime of the Frostmaiden, it was pretty cool to see the chardalyn dragon
As a player for Icewind Dale Rime of the Frostmaiden, oh... Looking forward to that I guess
Oh crap, so sorry dude
@@goggledgoon3342 no worries, I know you weren't trying to spoil! Just doing my duty as spoiler police incase someone minds more than I do 🙂
This is the first video I've seen in a while that has no dislikes. I really hope I didn't just jinx it... On another note, finally some combat. I've been looking forward to some butt-kicking action from the team. I do wonder what happened to the foresight with the eye saying there won't be an attack by the Valkyrian Empire during the meetings since up until now if the eye wasn't certain it would always show diverging paths instead of the most likely one.
I suspect that it's because Quill specifically asked about attacks on Horizon, and this attack is at Gust Haven.
@@lordofdarkness3774 He asked another question afterwards about Aerois.
Iirc, he looked at the plaza and asked what it would look like in 3 days (after the meeting) and then he asked how Starbane planned to defeat Hadar.
Wait, so there's chromatic dragons that are with the ones that stayed on Aerois ? Didn't we know lore wise that the dragonborn were all mix n match, but the dragons were harshly split with the chromatics siding with Starbane, and the Metalics staying behind ?
Nova is iron man, Lucius is black panther, Alia is Thor and hulk, quill is hawk eye, sentry is captain America and ant man and Lucius sister moon star is black widow.
Let’s do this! Finally! 🙌
AVENGERS!
assemble
TROTT WITH THE FUCKING POPCORN.
I'M DYING
“Maybe star banes hadar touched” or maybe his second in command, you know the psychotic mind controlling power mad schemer, is hadar touched and pushing her boss to do a plan that obviously helps hadar instead of hurt him.
That’s my theory at least.
I dont know man, totally not the creepy snake woman.
Holy hell what a tense episode!
Lets do this!!! Heck yes!
Objection! the bludgeoning damage from ice storm is absolutley magical.
This
To be fair, I've seen people try to debate that effects caused or summoned by spells (hail from Ice Storm, meteors from Meteor Swarm, etc.) isn't actually magical because the spell isn't doing the damage, the thing summoned by the spell is. Those people are objectively wrong, of course. You use a weapon attack, it does weapon damage; you do a magic attack, it does magic damage. Simple as that.
@@arcticbanana66 They might have a point if it was a conjuration spell like the animals from conjure animals likely don't deal magical damage, but ice storm and meteor swarm are evocation spells so...
@@Markcrazeer Exactly. They use the Conjure spells as examples, but it's a false equivalency.
@@arcticbanana66 indeed.
So Pyri was a bad guy then technically, if he was working for the Cypher Academy?
Loved this episode! I love wade with my whole heart ❤️
Nova’s dad is my new favorite npc
as soon as I heard “he’s wearing shorts and sandals” I was sold
Wow Mark is really good at giving a sense of hopelessness, I'm stressing and I'm not even a part of this campaign.
That's OK Quill, forgetting your gender is valid.
2:03:15 The crew of the Stormchaser hear in their brains the crooning notes of Kenny Rogers . . .
They call me the Breeze , cause I keep blowing down the road
That is probably the most beautiful expression of sign language I've heard 😍
What do you call plural water genasi? A puddle.
I was SO FUCKING THROWN off when I was reminded that Nova’s mum is called breeze
Yum yum
Quill should have had the person who questioned his vision to have him answer a question that no one would know. So then Quill’s eye would have been shown to be true.
He was out of charges.
It wasn't that he thought Quill would find a way to lie, it was that he could be truthfully telling something that itself isn't true. In other words if I told you "the sky is green", and you had never seen the sky before, then when asked about what color the sky is, "green" would be an allowable answer for you under the ZOT spell, because you believe it to be true. The spell doesn't determine the truth, it prevents people from knowingly speaking falsehoods.
This was my immediate reaction when I heard the idea for the spell. Sure, all the people would believe that *Quill* believes Starbane's plan won't work, but that doesn't definitively *prove* that Starbane's plan won't work.
Muted dun duns had me worried for a second
I was kinda hoping they’d sing it again
I wish you could still love vids on yt, bc there are so many times I want to like twice or something.
Epic sound effects Marc! Dont let the gigglers get to you, your fantastic!
I only listen to the audio and sometimes the sound effects stun me as much as the storytelling. For example the javelin throw in this one was 12/10!
Y’all remember spell clash? I miss the painted prince
Mark is just. He’s more akin to daddy Nomura then Sherlock but damn son. That one trap card be like
I got "T.M.R.A.O.R.T.K.T.I.I.S.S.P.C.O.O.O.O.P.L.Y" for Trotts ad. Really fun episode! I'm wondering what other people think of who could play Starbane in a movie, or who would voice him in Animation?
Morgan Freeman
"trott is cool, mark is poopy"
Tara Strong
@@tumbleweed1552 Nice! Thank you!
The secret code is trottiscool
There is a second part.
36:13+
Oh that smile!
Kim, you have the most radiant smile!
yum yum
I read the description and only just realized that Sherlock isn’t actually Mark’s middle name, I just thought his parents had a sense of humor.
omg Trott at 1:00:00
Do you think the background of Aerois is a sky city because the sky city was presently new in Mark's campaign or because he always knew Horizon would be important?
The sky cities were always pitched as the kind of flagship cities of Aerois, so I think all of them were supposed to be important for one reason or another across the campaign
The party started the campaign going to Horizon. I think it was meant to be their ~main hub~ of sorts, buuuuuuut stuff happened. As it does in dnd lol
100 pct horizon being important.
55:14 and that's why you need to vote out elected officials after 8 to 10 years.
This is why we have term limits guys smh
My theory is starbane accidentally unleashed hidar from his far realm prison to start with, and that’s why he feels soo responsible and wants to stop hidar soo much
Is it hidar? Ive always heard hadar... But perhaps i am mistaken
@@theTM-io8dl it is Hadar but Mark's accent dors make it sound like hidar
Ayy it's just like how the party let Starbane into Aeoris through the portal. I guess we're all just screwups one way or another
Starbane forces attacked gusthaven during the meeting! Quill's eye talks shit!!!!
Trott on the side like break out the tea Nova I'm sit here and watch my shows.
15 months and some 50 episode late but: cast zot on qillek instantly as he falls asleep while nova has readied dream, quill is given full control of the dream and recreates the vision. Nova then wakes up with perfect memory, has zot cast on her, then she channels a major image of exactly what she saw onto a data crystal. Boom, perfect, and then ignored because local idiot callus is an idiot.
Is High Rollers subject to purdah?
2:32:27
Thank you
MARK I FUCKING LOVE YOU! AMAZING YOU USED GHISLAINE AS KAMARRA'S TOKEN XD (even though I'm pretty sure she's a cat XD but still I imagine they have similar personality)
Spoilers
I want to see Aurora come back as a levelled fighter, and her and Nova have a cool sibling moment in melee
Does anybody know what the secret message is???? Thanks
I’m pretty sure it’s Trott is cool. Mark is poopy 😂😂
Does anyone know what Trott's secret add message was?
Trott is cool; Mark is poopy.
@@kingofbengland Myth: Busted
so so so fucking cooooooool
Man imagine how depressed the wolf pack would have got if aila just turn's up and one shops that mecha dragon because let's be honest aila and sentry are legit the only ppl would could one shot a dragon. XD
also i like to think that aila threw that hammer mid jump, lands on the deck "Stormchasers!!!!!!!! -Catches hammer looking deep in the dragons mecha eyes- ........... Assemble"
Would it be elemexit or genaxit?
My brother first book Avarice online
Katie does say Irn-Bru beautifully, in fairness.
You guys need to paint the Valkyrian armors to something else! White would be wonderful I think :)
They even have an artist. Nova's dad, light blue and white armor could be awesome.
is there like a way I can run this campaign? can you just like give me the campaign just like all of it?????
Some points I would have liked to see brought up to Nova's parents:
1. Calus is a multi-planetary warmonger. He's ruthless, and he does not have your best interests at heart. He's using Vortinssar as a pawn to bully the rest of the planet into doing as he says.
2. You don't know what life is like on Genas. Why risk the safety and security of Aerois for a planet you've never stepped foot on, under a government you didn't elect, in an empire you don't belong to?
3. Aligning yourself with him means you're aligning yourself against Aerois. There's going to be war, that much is all but certain, except he's the side attacking our home and you voted for him. Can't you see that you've been played?
I don't mean to backseat, and Nova's point that Calus wants them all dead was great. I didn't even think about the personal enmity.
I love that nova just doesnt know how to spell xarkiras name ngl
Oooh my Hadar touched Kallus theory from last week got brought up by the gang and even acknowledged by Mark through an NPC ! Nice 😄
Great episode. Can't wait for next week.
I feel like Wade should have an Australian accent.
so whats the brexit acronym for vortensar
Aerexit
Kallus has freaking simic hybrids are you shiting me
hot crossed buns, peaked my attention.
Are there only two sky cities? I thought there were more but I realized this episode none were at the meeting?
There are 7 I think.
2 of them are in ruins
There is one called cloud garden
2:32:26 The infamous metal dragon OOOOOOO
RIP Prince Philip
I wonder if we're coming towards the end end
A peoples vote where the people were misinformed/outright lied to, surely such a thing is not possible :P #GenExit
Damn i wish i could just sit and explain to Nova's family what happened, because i know a bit about how propaganda and indoctrination works and i feel i could explain it in a way that would make it easy for them to understand.
But alas, so is the way of the internet and pre-recorded content
Trott takes lessons from jacksepticeye apparently. nice ad dude! :D
