trott plays Lucius so incredibly well, he's so committed to the rp i love it
I really enjoy Tom's flavor to his spells. Like making magic missile from his feathers, flapping his wing for gust, or ulling lighting from his injury to use a lightning attack.
“They took our stuff first!”
“And we killed all of them.”
A chair for a chair
They valued our stuff more than their life.
Petition to make it so enemies are affected by the injury wheel when hit with a bat 20 (or 19 in Kim’s case). If it’s gonna screw the players, it should screw their enemies. Break their ribs, stab them in the eye, etc
This is a great idea. It'd be a good way to get some organic narrative conflict. You cut off a villains arm and defeat them, and but then come back later having replaced it with a thunder-cannon.
Somehow that makes me think of the Orcs/Uruk in "Shadow of Mordor" and "Shadow of War"...
I want that to happen XD
Yes, amazing idea.
I’ll get you next time it will take more then that to defeat me (runs away without any arms and a 3 broken ribs)
Boomy Fungus Obligatory "Just a flesh wound."
Me, throughout the bear fight
MAKE A FIREBEAR. FIREBEAR. FIREBEAR. FIREBEAR
Trott plays an idiot so great. I genuinely snorted when he outed Valla - a new meaning for sol I guess.
*magical explosion in the distance*
Qillek: "Are we the baddies?"
In fairness to this group, most groups that ask that are at least doing something morally questionable. This was just recovering stolen property and got stuck in a fight. I do love any time that a party asks the question.

Thanks
Thank you sir
"i wanted to play a more of a support"
shoots magic missle instead of healing a downed party member lol
I cannot express how much i love quill XD tom plays such a great character *as do all of the others* but i cant deny quill is my favorite
I do too, he's a cute bean. But maybe that's cuz i'm a furry XP
Love the group conversations between the characters in this episode! Funny characters. It's nice starting to see the characters bond and get to know each other.
When I first read the title I though "Oh my god, they have rations for just 2 and a half day? Are they still injured and exhausted? This is tough!!". I catched the joke later and I'm glad I was wrong. Good game so far, Lucius is my favourite!
Trott plays the best friggin characters, really adds some character to the game.
'i will turn this car around!'
*hits Qill with said car*
'THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR NOT PLUGGING IN YOUR MIC'
"These people are upset they didn't get saved, I'm more upset that I did..."
Goblins? THE RETURN OF CAPTAIN BUMHOOK IS NIGH!
YAAAH!
Commander AnusLure
I hope not, the players are showing very little difference in their play I would hate it if Mark also reverts back to season 1. I hope the character change their play soon.
Obvious AssAppeal
@@karlcross9112 whats wrong with how they are playing? Everyone is having fun. nobody wants total Gritty realism brooding characters crap. They have fun on occasion, and their characters are Fun people, Emotion will come with time. These characters have barely existed for a month.

Astronomy is the science one.
Astrology is the non-science one.
For future reference, Kim.
In a world of magic, the line could be somewhat blurred - except that thanks to Aeoris's lore, I doubt that the alignment of stars has much impact on the planet (due to the barrier - I've forgotten it's name). In fact, thanks to that lore, I wouldn't be surprised if on Aeoris Astronomers were more often historians than scientists.
True. I suppose in a world where magic actually exists, there is virtually no difference between magic and science. Since science is simply the understanding and study of the world around us. Magic would simply be another natural force in the universe like gravity or electricity. A more accurate distinction in a world where magic is real could be arcane VS material.
@@isaacthimbleby8926 why would Astronomy be history? The barrier prohibits anything to enter the planet via ships or planeswalking (whatever). It doesnt prevents from seeing the stars. You could still study the constellations and such...I think
More often - not always. But more importantly I was comparing a magical world without the barrier, to one with it. I.e. in a magical world without the barrier astrology could easily be an important science; studying how the position of the stars effects everyday life. But in Aerois, due to the barrier, it is much less likely the position of stars impacts day to day lives - I’m not saying it is impossible, that is up to the GM. Just less likely.
As for history, to Aerois, the stars are where some of them came from long ago, where they were invaded from, where they cannot now go. Some races may be able to point at a star and say, generations ago, that is where we lived. Such stories of long ago, are usually the purview of historians.
The two used to be the same field.
Lucius: catch us some fishies
Quill: maybe you could do it
Lucius: you mean Aila?
Quill: no, I mean you - could maybe - do something
😂😂
I like the change in how Katie plays the Aila. It's better then in previous episodes, hope she will go more in the direction of badassery, intimidation, violence is always a valid solution.
Nova's 'leave no survivors' really foreshadows the 'gang does a war crime' moment.
“I’m a nice dm” -Is about to kill someone with a bear.-
Lucius: "I'm going to firebolt them. All of them."
Qill: "Individually?"
Lucius: "Yes."
Qill: "While not looking?"
Lucius: "Yes."
Qill: "In a forest?"
Jesus, I just noticed Katie's stats. That is mental
Not incest goblins! They're the worst!
They get into your sandwiches :(
The character developement paired with the beautifully mastered NPCs were just AMAZING this episode, serious props to all of you holy hell.
everytime lucuis says 'my daddy' cant help but think of something different
To be fair, as far as I know by this episode he hasn't specified which kind of daddy he means.
i guess that's why he has so much money
I understand the feelings of some of the characters about the battle that transpired, but honestly, my war torn veteran character would have said, "They signed away their lives the moment they robbed us, threatened us, barely negotiated with us if it could even be called that, and absolutely would have killed us if we resisted any more than we did. We did what we had to, not only to survive, but to restore sentimental objects back to the rightful possession of their owners. They had every opportunity to allow us to go free and instead chose every path that begged us to kill them. They were lucky, they had a quick death, it could have been so much worse."
I love how Nova's Toll the Dead just caused that goblin's head to explode. Amazing. It's like something out of Scanners.
What is this Sword Art Online Abridged?
Nova's actually quite scary when she's angry...
Ragsy x it’s the bubbly ones you have to be afraid of lol
Alright, I'm glad with how that fight ended. As for Mark's (good-natured) potshot at us commenters... well, fair enough- I did make it seem like it was your fault at first before clarifying my statement. But anyway, like I said, the fight went far better than I expected considering the odds, and the party managed to even solve some of their food problems. It was also nice to see the characters- NPCs included- trying to cope with their actions, being the first time they really were on the offensive instead of trying to escape or intimidate. Everyone did a good job showing how this whole mess affected them (I mean, I have no sympathy for the elves- they stole the party's stuff, threatened them multiple times, and then tried to seem like the victims?- but in character, it can be a lot to take in).
Beyond that, the banter between everyone on the journey to the river was well done. Nova was adorable with her book-smart personality, Aila was finally showing a bit more initiative, Qillek was a great person for confiding to while also trying to learn things himself, and Lucius was oblivious in the best was possible (daddy will pick him up, he didn't get the hint about the daggers, ect.). I can't really comment on Sentry since her player wasn't here, but I am still interested in her.
Once more, you guys have continued to impress us- don't let any future comments from me or anyone else criticizing something in a session convince you otherwise. We just want to make sure everything is going well and that any mistakes made don't persist in the future (like a druid who's not moon-circle being able to shift into a CR 1 beast when they are not level 8). And like I said before, it never hurts to clarify a few things so that everyone is caught up. See you guys in two weeks, where we may hopefully get to civilization.
ProfessorFanatic good god I think I just saw a mature statement in the RUclips comment section 😂😂 but jokes aside you’re quite right, it’s a fantastic series and they’re doing a great job
1:57:10 "Did I not just make myself clear?"
Two years later, I have become so emotionally-attached to these characters and this story I can't stop listening :D Thank you so much (a bit late) for this incredible adventure!
I’ve just started but I love it :)
Aerois Intro 6:08
Recap Starts 7:14
Break Ends 1:17:16
Sentry reminds me of Optimus Prime. Should we call her Sentinus Prime?
Optimus Sentinus Maximus
Guardians, ROLL OUT!
Well this aged well
I NEED Arval to say "It's high noon"
pfft mark layin on the guilt man f those elves, they stole from the wrong people. If they deserved any sympathy maybe they should have shown sympathy for the survivors of a horrible crash, but instead were fully willing to murder the whole party. No sympathy from me i must say.
Kinda sounds like you got a grudge
Plague Hunter: It sounds like you have a very large bias.
shoobagoo: Ya, I thought it was way to much guilt from Mark also. These players already have a problem knowing when to attack. These players gave up gold and magic items when they gave into the Elfs…. If Marck wanted to offer them the opportunity to go after the Goblins he could have offered that chance during both those encounters in place of taking stuff from them. Instead me made it sound like they did not have to fight these Elf's and could have done a mission for them.
No, the elves were going to capture them and take them back to their camp. Trott attempted to bribe their way out of that, rolled poorly and their equipment was taken as a result. I imagine if they were taken to the camp, they would of had to deal with the goblin camp mentioned by the survivor, who said their leader may of had a job for them. Not saying the guilt tripping wasnt there, but they didnt run them down like dogs.
So, flashback to episode two. Initial critic was the unappealing chemistry and a lack of assertive response from the group, NOT the fault of any player, just the group chemistry didn’t surface out like it did in episode 1. The decision-making was slow and dragged the gameplay out. I was then disenfranchised and worried by the chemistry of the group in future episodes.
Present thoughts, after watching episode 4 live on Sunday...It has rekindled my intrigue in the group once more, in other words, I fucking loved this episode. Mark great as usual, being the masterful GM he is. Great role-play from all players.
I was alive while watching Katie‘s performance - now she really stands out - displaying her reasonable disinterest in the group, like Juitou was initially before she died, so that leaves room for a lot of development for her character.
Trott played wonderfully, taking the spot light yet again, further evolving his character and cementing Lucius as my favourite.
Kim played essential roles, her banter with Lucius and her respective chatter regarding Alia‘s goals - all amazing.
I have always seen Arrakoccra as proud and fearless, Quill is the antithesis of this. However, Tom‘s character mirrors to closely to Lucius for my taste, of whom Lucius is my favourite. I like Quills greater display of remorse as opposed by Lucius‘, but not his greater display of cowardice to match that of daddy’s-Boy Lucius - their can only be one. Tom roll played well, despite my petty begrudges, I only want to see more of Tom.
It is a shame Rhiannon wasn’t around, for what is easily the best episode yet, but I am hopeful she can role-play her character once again.
Overall, the last 2 episodes have set up more chemistry in the group, with hints and nods at future plot for the characters. Npcs serve as great pieces of interaction for the players, the world is as expansive as it is captivating and I want to see more of all that Mark has to offer. Episode 4 was a great episode, keep it up. :)
*there can only be one
Yoctomotio KL23 couldn't have put it better myself
If you're willing to offer up such critique, then let me give you some. Your grammar is poor. And it's not just the grammar, your sentence structure is also very poor making this halting and noisome to read.
SwanDuck
Your grammar it is poor*
It is also very poor*
Which makes this*
Noisome is a very sophisticated word for youtube bro, even though it generally refers to smell. Chill.
SwanDuck dont know why you have your panties in a bunch over some internet criticism.
"What's _your_ positive thing?"
"I'm not dead."
😝
I don't know if you'll see this Mark, but are you planning on making the stats for the Guardian available like you did with the Lightborn? Also, I know it's a bit of work on your end but would you consider creating a Wiki for Aerois so that people can use it as inspiration for their own Campaign settings?
CoreSanity101 I believe the previous campaign wiki was fanmade. This one probably should be too.
Might want to check previous vids b4 campaign, I think he mentioned making or wanting to make a campaign module for his world. So that probably means it will come later on similar to CR.
Google: Warforged, its likely what Mark based the race on.
They mentioned making an actual guide for Aerois, including classes and stuff.
Quill- Or you could carry it into the river and fall over again
Ayla- do you want a closer look at this hammer
Hope Quill picks up a light crossbow or something useful for ranged attacks in the next town
You need two hands to use a Light crossbow and Quill only has one. He could only use a hand crossbow which a: Is a martial weapon so no proficiency bonus and b: he could only realistically fire it once before needing to reload.
if he can load a gun he can load a light crossbow
PewPewLazehs and if he can load a crossbow, he can load a bow and if he can load a bow he can arm a flying airship cannon and that's what it means to be a Qillek
I identify so much with that goblin
Man, that fight in the camp... I didn't think they were all going to make it. That was intense.
Quill is definitely the hero, he's the only one who is HORRIFIED by the fact that they killed so many people, he even ponders if they're the bad guys.
22:00 I got the biggest smile on my face hearing the group talk about Shardblades. Sanderson is such a great writer, I'm very happy whenever I hear that anyone is reading him.
2:20:20 The goblin fight was hilarious. The DM was brilliant.
I totally relate to what Kim said about accumulating books
I love how Tom's Bardic inspirations are the most cowardly, "You do it for me." sentences.
anyone watching in 2020? well this makes the year so much better!!
I am, and more people should watch high rollers, this is amazing.
Finally got around to finishing the first campaign over the last few weeks and now I'm getting into the second.
Yoo know, as a person who has great childhood memories of the Yogscast, it makes me sad that High Rollers is the only part I enjoy. But High Rollers is possibly one of the best Yogscast shows that has ever existed! Very close to Shadow of Israphel!
Tigershark232 don’t remind me of the heartbreak
“What’s your positive, Arvil?”
“I’m not dead...”
I mean, fair enough.
Mark's sound effects are so good in this video XD
To answer the riddle, I believe the answer is 6 moves, but I'm tired so *shrug*, but me being a smart ass, can say zero, if I just move to the other side of the bar
The minimum is actually three. You move the corners around counterclockwise/clockwise.
They're g-not g-nomes, they're g-noblins
Lucius is great. Best character roleplay.
I was starting to get into this show, then they made a stormlight chronicles reference and now I'm committed
Came here from Crit role after Marks guest starring. I have to say I'm very conflicted.
I don't thoroughly enjoy Marks style of DMing, in some points its very casual seeming, sometimes it feels like it lacks emotion to me. Not always, just sometimes.
However, his world building is freaking incredible, and I feel like I find myself sitting like a starry eyed child when he starts describing the world or bringing in new things. And I love the players, so far they're all quite wonderful.
Overall my likes outweigh my dislikes, so I'm unsure why I'm really posting this. Maybe I'm thinking that someone can explain what I'm seeing wrong or if anyone agrees with me.
You can critique things you like, honestly I think people who do are a bit song minded
I absolutely loved the first campaign and having only recently started this one, am finding it harder to get into and enjoy as much. I think some of that is just getting used to a totally different world and new characters but Mark's settings are superb as always.
I find myself frustrated at the choices the PC make . Took me awhile to get though the first ep but after that no issues.
@@jamesclarke8085 Didn't you just critique people by writing that?
@@dainslatton9877 Na I said my opinion on that type of people, also meant to right strong minded I believe. Although I have no clue what that means or what I was on about
I think the dungeon masyer gets tired of yall babbiling thats why they get attacked so much
Kim and Katie looking beautiful as always handsome mark and Tom. And that sexy lil mama trott haha, love High rollers!
Wow, at 5:40 Katie and Tom really did double thumbs up at the same time! LOL
for anybody who feels bad for these raiders remember they did something bad enough to be exiled and had no problem with killing an injured man for his belongings they where not saints they where murderous thieves
I'm watching this nearly 2 years later and the special edition pride run is on again.
I love goblins so much, I really hope we see more of them!
"I need a full action to reload this thing?"
"Yep"
"I'll end my turn without taking any action at all."
As per Mark, Pro Tip: If you tend to take no action, at least take the dodge action. Awesome tip...
I want to see Rhiannons face when she realises her character caused a massacre when she wasn't even there.
I really really love this show,critical role is very similar but this one hooks me better so I like this more.
Spoilers
Rewatching the series - in this ep Mark says Yusef met Valla in Horizon, where they lived for a time. Wouldn't Valla already be familiar with Horizon when the party bring her there later? Maybe she was too young to know the place very much.
God I miss the days when @JrKenny2408 would leave the chapter times in the comments
I thought when he said large river, I thought he said Large wyvern I was like, Welp rip Lucius
Puzzle: I say to the barkeep "Zero" and hold up a mirror in front of the coins.
The coins have little patterns, two circles on the top, one on the bottom.
If you put a mirror in front of the coins, the circle patterns in the coins would be wrong
Anyone else come over from the podcast just to see marks face as the goblin?
Now that I've caught up it means I can't binge watch anymore, still worth the wait though
Ah, that special hell.
They should have Matt be a reoccurring guest like every few weeks he plays with them or whenever another player is away like now
Just occurred to me, how will Mark explain all of the natural phenomena that only occur because of the gravitational pull of the moon? (e.g. waves)
Waves happen because of the wind, not moon. However, he would need to explain the tides. The sun has a small impact, but it might not be enough... Time for science!
Magic
Musashi Jacobs-Harukawa the floating cities might make small tides
could be
floating cities generating enough gravitational pull to create the tides in the sea is such a cool idea
Where is episode zero? you guys keep mentioning it, but I don't see it
Mark impression of goblins is just my favourite
I’m very late to the game on catching HR, spent way too much time with tons of other great DnD shows, but I am so happy with Kim’s character this time around. Really didn’t like Jiutou but Nova is perfect. And of course Lucius is just fantastic. Having Trott and Kim on the same side of the table is a great idea.
1:51:39 it had brought me much joy seeing such a wonderful and intensive dm sipping from a juice box
Mark with his little juice box gives me life
The stalking "creature" at 1:32:00 is hilarious and Lucius being oblivious to no end xD
Goblin Players: _Triggered_
Also Goblin Players: _Nod in agreement with Mark's description_
I’m only just catching up (yes I’m late, I had uni) but trott and his “talking about hands” looks at Kim thing was totally about het engagement ring right…?
Watching this in 2024 , great show
This just seems like such a good time! I would love to play dnd with my friends now!
At like 1:58:50 the line “I stopped listening almost instantly” made me laugh
I freaking love that goblin part also marks face tho
I imagine that Quill is always hovering around Sentry.
Hmm, for the puzzle, I thought you you just had to go to the other side of the table. No moves necessary.
That wouldn't work because even if you moved around the table, the piles of coins wouldn't match (which is the point of the puzzle), you would just have flipped the way the coins are facing.
I want daddy to show up so bad
How do you feel about Mr. Elanasto showing up now?
Mark has My Little Pony dice? I'm now hoping for a Tails of Equestria one-shot.
they did do tales of equestria on tabletop weekly
They are doing a My Little Pony role play game at Roll4It
2:04:10
Why do Yusef and Corrilion not want Valla to have a dagger?
This does not make sense to me.
She is (according to her) 14 years old, so at her age she would be expected to be able to cook and help in the fields, both requiring sharp tools. This means that there is no reason for them to think that she would hurt herself.
And they are in the wilderness. Even if they protect her, they can not expect to prevent all hostiles from getting to Valla. Especially when they often leave her with Arval and Corrilion, one of which has broken leg and the other is not a fighter. She should have some means of defending herself.
And since Yusef is female, the "You are female and fighting is for men." standpoint is also strange.
Yusef doesn't use weapons tho she uses spells so i guess that is okay to say.
i think they come from a very religious background to as they always talk about Valla being in a temple.
tbh i think Mark wants Valla to be seen as a weak teenager but i think she's going to do something unbelievable like Cam when his hair glows when he gets knocked down, and therefore she will prove herself.
Also they don't really have time to teach her on how to use weapons as they're either constantly in danger or are on the move she is also an Npc and some players don't like to waste time helping them while they can be getting better at their own characters
Yusef may not _use_ weapons, but unless Mark modified the cleric class, she is proficient with simple weapons, which includes daggers.
Yes, they were in a temple, but Valla is not a cleric of the temple. She is a ward, put there to learn to control her Sorceress abilities.
Being constantly in danger is *exactly* the reason for having a weapon. And the one complaining about her having weapons was not a PC. It was an NPC, who should have been concerned about Valla's safety and already have taught her how to use a knife. (For other purposes than fighting at least.)
Can anyone tell me where I can find episode 0? Or is that the 10 day countdown to Aerois, the 2nd campaign?
episode 0 was only for the players to get used to their characters and get to know the others classes
i don't think they did much tho nothing to important i heard Katie talking about how they had helped find lucius' case as it had gotten lost on the air ship
''Bear-ly hold on to her shield'' hehe
Dear Mark, please put your subclass Tross is using on DM's Guikd
AwkwardDogBoner's 2:36:47
Has Mark been reading about the Philadelphia Experiment?
