Six Brits trying to figure out how far a squirrel can be kicked through American football gave me so much more joy and amusement than I could have ever expected
That is a sentence no one ever expected to say.
@@theveryaveragegamer9865
That's brilliant British humor, one of the best.
It's reminds me about: how many coconuts swallow can carry?
Really should have been a kick off going more for distance than accuracy.
@@CatCheshire what do you mean, African or European swallow?
@@portlandaustin yeah but in terms of how aerodynamic a squirrel is, I figure a hundred foot kick is pretty cool
I love how theyre not even 15 mins in and theyve already broken into giggle fits. Never change, HR never change
Midnight Productions not even 20 seconds
@Dirge Blackstar Yeah you really wonder....
is very impressing how everybody is dying of laughter and Trot has kept his face straight for a while only to Kim getting way too deep to break him
I feel like at this point Skaldi probably feels like she unknowingly gained responsibility for a bunch of suicidal toddlers and shes amazed that there are still some of them who survived long enough to cause her trouble.
indeed
Suicidal toddlers LMAO 😂
Pyri:(punts the roper squirrel)
Mark:the creature grabs you,bites you 52 damage
Everyone:*Confused screaming
"This is supposed to be an easy encounter"
*Almost instant-kills Pyri in 2 hits*
FAIRY LUCIUS UNCEREMONIOUSLY PICKING HIM OUT OF THE WATER AND GRACEFULLY HOVERING BACK I'M DECEASED
I am also deceased
*And I have been ever since watching HR*
Polymorph is my favorite spell to use as a wizard because when in doubt,
Polymorph enemy into a squirrel and drop it in a bag of holding
would it not destroy the bag when it transformed back into its true form?
@@davidcheese1032 depends on what the original creature is. The polymorphed creature would revert back to its original form when it ran out of breath, the bag would rupture if it became overloaded and the creature would be shunted into the astral plane.
Best thing about finding a bag of devouring.
This, incidentally, if why bosses need Legendary Resistance.

Pyri fucking yeets a squirrel is a better title in my opinion

@@MystLunarabne didn't see that at all I usually just watch to the end of rp then dip.
Not the hero we deserve but the hero we need
I love Mark's goblins. Does anyone else picture them as Jim Henson style muppets?
Hahaha no but I am now and it's so much better hahahaha
If David Bowie shows up as their king I'm out of here.
Like the goblins from Labyrinth.
Gotta love the composure to make a "that's exactly lethal" reference at that specific point
Nobody:
Rhianna: °0°
*Rhiannon
can't help thinking how funnier it would've been if lucuius awoke in the cart among the dead :D
Mark's goblin/small child/any other small gremlin like creature voice always gets me
It took me awhile but I can say without a doubt. Lucius is my favorite. And I think he’s done the most
1:39:08 "How are you faster than me?"
At level 5, both barbarians and monks have a +10 to movement speed. Ayla says that she can move 90ft while Dashing, indicating that she must have 45ft movement speed, whereas Pyri presumably has 40ft.
So, if they were any other classes, Ayla would have 35ft and Pyri 30ft. Genasi have 30ft movement speed, so that makes sense. I don't know if it's been confirmed what stats wild elves use, but I'm guessing wild elves are wood elves, which have a base 35ft move speed.
So Ayla is faster than Pyri because she's a wild elf (aka wood elf, probably). But Pyri will end up faster than her eventually, since barbarians only get one speed-up, and monks steadily get faster and faster throughout their level progression.
Certainly good and accurate math. There are technically wild elves in D&D just not 5E. Collectively Wood and Wild elves may be known as Sylvan Elves.
So yes Wood Elf is a very likely choice. The only thing about Pyri's future though is whether he actually sticks around to progress like that.
Rather have Quill and Sentry back. Not that the characters they are playing aren't nice enough. Definitely the attachment of time and the fact that I want the group to get a much needed W here.
Also technically he isn't even correct about being faster. I mean it does take using the resource of his ki but he's always able to add his bonus action to triple his move speed if he wants to.
Rhiannon checking her teeth while Mark tries to talk about sponsorships is just a mood
Rhiannon grins so much, I've never seen her eyes
Professionals? No no, I'm definitely watching a bunch of nerdy children talk about their favourite colours, or am I mistaken?
Seriously love this series and all of the bloopers lmao.
Wishing to buy merch someday!! ❤💖💗😭
"Get the Slav!!"
Some random, schlubby, eastern european guy that pops up out of nowhere: "I am here comrades. Who needs the healing?"
the D&D dad is strong with Mark in this one
"It's humid and dry" so arid
Also i really want Aila to wear the crown, because then it'll be Faila
Faela
I find it funny because it's pretty much the exact opposite of something that happened to her PC near the end of Lightfall.
Though maybe it's because it was even more robust and persistent that she really didn't like THAT effect.
I don't know what Mark is allowing it disallowing with house rules and homebrew on this one.
Remove Curse is a third level cleric spell which RAW our dwarf friend should be able to prepare the very next day.
Then again he's probably looking to avoid a quick and easy fix. Though it's going to make it far less likely that anybody will touch it even if they manage to get it off Lucius.
For squirrel kicking, the top 30 percent of kicks for professionals is about 90 feet
Yeah 100 is pretty accurate for someone who has abilities of a fantasy Monk. Pretty happy about how that turned out.
ah one of those dnd problems you have to research "how far can you kick a squirrel"
Let's change the name to "High Overthinkers" 😂😂
Yeah, the tend to do that...
Such is D&D though
Still separating the party... pyri almost died (tom again). I guess that being a bunch of cute adorable kitties comes with the ridiculously painful combat. Well... I love you guys too much... I really hope Mark eases combat for them or else they'll need a dedicated graveyard for their characters.
this is my third time watching the aerois campaign. whenever im all caught up on all my shows i listen to this and ‘dice camera action’ to fill my time. i hope you all keep up the amazing work. Im extremely excited to see the new studio and am very very excited to see you all at the same table
"Hello, I'm Lucius Virion-Elluen Elen--"
"Done"
"oh, ok..."
Never change HR.
A very long american football kick would be 60 or so yards, so 180 feet. Squirrels are not very aerodynamic, so that might hamper a field goal. Tom would probably hit wide right though. No points.
Yeah but it's more like a kick off going for distance not trying to put it through the uprights.
Tom would probably miss the squirrel, lose his footing and land on his back. Then slowly turn his head to find a malevolent squirrel two inches away from his face.
Pyri might do better.
But what if he were to punt the squirrel?

Alright! Who cast Hideous Laughter? ;)
Was expecting Pyri's head to get bitten clean off there!
American football field is 100 yards (300 feet) from end zone to end zone. A kickoff is done from a "tee" and is launched 80 yards (240 feet) away from the opposing end zone and often will land within 5 yards (15 feet) from the end zone. A "long" field goal is around 40 yards (120 feet) from the end zone; but the field goal posts are located at the rear edge of the end zone at a height of 10 feet off of the ground. End zones are 10 yards or 30 feet deep; which means that a long field goal attempt travels from the ground via an arc roughly 150 feet and still has a vertical height of at least 10 feet. A "punt" in American Football can travel around 60 or 70 yards (180-210 feet).
"You yeet the squeal"
A high rollers treat on my birthday?! I love you guys!
Lukas Østergaard thank you I did!
Hey our birthdays are a week apart
I'm late but as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and the exact line the sun traces across the sky changes over the course of the year, the riddle doesn't specify what time of the year it has to be so it will be exactly between east and west. All they have to do is figure out if the sun is slightly towards the north and slightly towards the south (depending on their location on the planet) and they know it will be a straight line in that direction. THANK YOU
Rhiannon is so beautiful holy crap
All of them are, it's disorienting at times.
nobody:
Kim: YOLO
I absolutely love High Rollers 😂
I love the squirrel kick and then remebers baulder's gate XD
Hahahahahaha i lost it over this squirrel kick, this is exactly what I love about dnd
YES AROIS IS BACK!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!
Aerois
😍 tales of equestria! The 2nd time I saw Mark on critical role and how I found Aerois! I hope to catch up soon. Aerois is at like 123 episodes right now.
I love goblins. Favorite fantasy race ever. Mark's goblins are some of the best
Damn you, Mark, let me run through your campaigns before you kill me! Gleck's dead baby... Love it!
In American football I believe the longest kicks were from college players in practice. I witnessed a 75 yard field goal in 98, and I hear another made an 80 yard field goal in 2015. 1 yard is 3 feet, so between 225 to 240 feet for your maximum range mark.
I tell you guys Larian got the squirrel kicking inspiration form this high rollers video.
Seems like it 😂
I'm not gay but Mork Holmes is almost as glorious as Arstotzka
But is he better than Cobrastan?
I'm bi and I agree.
Assailant, Same and agreed.
you can be a straight man and compliment another man's looks. Don't worry about coming across as gay. You're just complimenting someone!!
I'm not gay but I definitely fancy mark
"So 6 people who don't know american football walk into a room..."
kinda disapointed piri didnt get 1shot, wouldve been so funny
Wouldn't be a broadcast dnd game without someone using their saving throw for a check
I’m crying laughing with them. I’m laughing so hard it’s so funny god help. It’s not even 15 minutes in.
Tfw Pyri could've just booted the Roper in Squrrel form down into the river...
Watching Crit Role you get pop music references, on High Rollers you get “4 lights” lol. ❤
I love the way Mark says squirrel
It has struck me recently that the fact that 2 people have been killed in this group stems from 2 facts. This group over plans the simplest things, and then dives into things way over their heads, and they suck at the combat that they get themselves into.
Characters die in D&D. If they don't then your campaign is probably too easy.
@@toshomni9478 Did I say the campaign was too hard? If anything I implied that they made it harder.
Yup, that's it in a nutshell.
There will be a day when Tom actually eddits something out. There will be
Lmao
A squirrel may be about as heavy as a football, but you can not kick it as far. A well blown football is a very elastic ball, while squirrel is an animal that will hold onto the ground (or it's victim's leg) with it's claws and will plasticly deform (take bludgeoning damage), when kicked. This would decrease the kick distance signinficantly.
lovin the new bangs kim
I swear mark has created a version of hardcore dnd aha
No one else is going to mention the disentegration rays coming out of the sky?
Always had a crush on mark lol. Ever since first HR episode lol
they need to have that guy come back, he needs to be a permanent member until quillek is resurrected
Who ravs?
Mark look real silver-foxy in this vid. Nice
I feel like half of the episodes is them taking 30 minutes to come up with a plan
This episode triggered some PTSD, I just had a druid character die because of a roper my dm gave the paralysis talent. It effing sucked.
Ropers are rated so low because of their low dex saves, so most spells wipe them out pretty quick.
I love that you guys keep mixing us American sports... to be fair I don’t know anything about cricket
35 yards equals roughly 3feet a yard so 105 feet average field goal!
his goblin is fantastic xD
From now on when Nova casts ThunderStep, this is the song that will play: AC/DC Thunderstruck-
Ah tom, so many death saving throws 😂
"I can't tell how far in feet a football kick is". Bruh, the field has distance markers.
I know this is late, but I swear Oriya was the one on the other side of the river with Johan?
Yes a squirrel would be lighter than a football in some cases, but the football is inflated with air, which is what gives it a bounce. A squirrel is solidly packed muscle. Imagine kicking a .5 kilo ribeye steak. Not going to fly very far.
what causes a football to fly far is not the air in it but the spiral it does which reduces drag due to friction. A solid thing can fly quite far (I have kicked oranges, watermelons, and cricket balls all while wearing steel toe boot so i don't break my toe)
If you see something before it sees you then blast it.

NOOOOO!!! I want him to be like that forever
Hey, you guys should play "Fiasco" as a OneShot. It's a GMless RPG where you play out Coen brother-esque capers in a few hours
been waiting for this all day!
Yea the only creatures immune to polymorph are shapeshifters. Wait are druids shapeshifters?
They don't technically fall under the shapeshifter category, but a DM might be willing to house rule it 😉
But moonbeam works on Druids
@@poisonedoak6563yeah, if they're in wild shape, that's because they are currently in a different shape.
@@ViviDimension But that means they change shape which means they are technically shapeshifters
@@aclassicguardsman946 the point is, the sources (like the monster manual) only define creatures as Shape shifters if it's part of the creature innately. If it's a racial trait, or a curse (like werewolves). You'll see some creatures have a tag like: werewolf (human, shapeshifter). The Druid in the monster manual is also not labeled as a shapeshifter. They are not immune to Polymorph, however it probably does not technically stop them from using wild shape if they've been forcibly polymorphed.
ARTHUR: Ohh.
TIM: That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!
ROBIN: You tit! I soiled my armor I was so scared!
ive never seen so much planning
i'd like to point out that both HR and critical role have had trouble with ropers it say its easy thats not the case
Sometimes I get a feeling that they forget to add modifiers. Only because I think the cantrips they are using add those along with the damage they do. Like when chris did a 1 damage firebolt. But I could be wrong. Its been a while since I've played dnd
I know that this is late, but you're kinda right. At this point Fire Bolt is suppose to do 2d6 damage without any modifiers, it is impossible for him to do 1 damage because of two die, unless there is resistance to the damage
Man I'm just re-watching old episodes, and I miss the bottom table with Katie and Tom hahaha.
I love marks hair like this
I LOVE HIGHROLLERS 😁😀😁
4 points from lethal
I will say this, ropers are NOT an easy encounter. The high AC, plus the ability to wrap up chars, weaken them, and do massive damage with each bite, it is much more dangerous than most people realise. I say this because my DM, once was going to do 1 roper, then another one after the first encounter (was supposed to be a medium encounter due to the math). He had to ditch the second roper because the first one almost annihilated us. Rolls were average, the dice didn't hate us, it's just this creature isn't exactly balanced for it's CR.
It’s the insane ac plus it’s extremely high damage, the only upside to fighting is you can almost always out range it as it’s movement is ten feet per round but most players aren’t gonna play a game of cat and mouse constantly shooting it out of its range
Why did they run after the beast when they could have simply blasted it from afar, without the risk of Toms character almost dying? Sounds like a dumb idea to me when the thing is so slow that you can basically stay out of its reach and blast as much as you want. Aila could have retrieved her javeline afterwards
Yeah, even in my campaign players would try to hit something from afar if things get too dire (they are also beginners)
53:25 I feel that Mark
Damned! Just when I get into D&D beyond, no more promo code... guess i got in too late... :(
I still haven't played a game but I used the promo code to get the legendary bundle,

That is just sad
First 2 min... Me: "This is gonna be good"
why am i getting such blackadder vibes from the goblin guy?? 😂
OHHHH IVE BEEN SO READY
1:07:39 *frantically pulls out monster manual*
How many easy encounters almost permanently kill pcs. Every encounter in the series seems to drop at least 1 to 2 pcs
During their brief time away highrollers lost all professionalism (if they ever had any.)
They never had any 😂
@@wave2632 They had the illusion of professionalism, a lot of us passed our saving throws and their vacation broke their concentration.
