Before someone praises BG3 like every other lemming on the internet, I would instead recommend BG2 and maybe BG1 if you can stomach ancient game design. Please, anything but BG3.
Yeah, well Rob also kinda forced them into taking in this quest line at the time they did despite having several side quests they could have done. But after all these years… main quest is probably best quest for a bit
Do you think he actually meant it that deep? Or is it just a happy little accident? Also, you're at 69 likes and I kinda don't want to mess with that :P
The whole point of the series is to show the adventures Greg had before he returned to honeywood and got deleted. And to show the possible future of what would have happened if the Adventurer accepted Greg's plea to go on an another quest and not return to honeywood yet. Which is why this series seems to have numerous amount of quest. From saving the world to making a performance to an old hag. We are dragging out Greg's immenent Deletion/death. And Bodger.... Yeah, he got his hammer. He seems happy.
I love how subtle Rob makes everyone's obsession over the mask at first. It's like, "Yeah, it's just a mask, whatever." "Can I have it back?" "No, I'll just hold onto it for now." Less is more here, and Rob knows exactly where the line is for that.

@@neowolf09 My first impression was that Rob said a slightly mispronounced variant of "you've finally caught on" and that the subs were making fun of it, but I did Google it to be sure and I was surprised that "cotton on" is an expression. And it does fit the context so I think that's what Rob said at 2:12.
This has become my favourite series on RUclips, and before that I had no interest in DnD nor any clue how it worked! To be fair, watching you lot I probably still have no idea 😂
Not sure whether or not you've already started, but I highly recommend Robs twitch tales series if you like a good story being told. It's a huge amount of content to absorb
The invisible fairy tricksters from the sky boat ride knew what the mask was. Maybe get in touch with those people to finally answer that question. And while You’re at it , figure out what the doll Inside bodger is doing.
Just voicing my appreciation for the person making subtitles, I met you on Robs livestream but I forgot the handle you use. Anyway every week I thank you personally for making my NPC DnD watching way more enjoyable as I can understand eveeery word and how it's written in their lore, it's simply amazing. Thank you for the quick subtitles! I can watch this on day 1 now!
I’m really excited that (Smarganrock) is a confirmed destination. There was a song about the dragons there but only the cutdown version made it to NPC series…..could be good material for their next play XD Also, Bodger’s dice rolls are insane - he always gets his way! Everyone’s worried about Laethil while the true threat goes unnoticed XD
OKAY now that we know that Bob is a PC for sure: 1) who is playing him (if anyone)? my running theory has been that he's kinda the inverse of Ben's character in "when a player turns into an NPC" if that makes any sense? like a sentient bot PC? idk if that makes any sense at all lol. or maybe ben himself is playing Bob? 2) from a video game perspective, is this campaign a regular quest? or has Bob's player been frantically googling things like "why does my skycraft character suddenly have the ability to jump inside things and explode them from the inside out?" and "is bodger supposed to jump off the airship?" but nothing comes up and he's just really confused as to how he, apparently, has stumbled onto the strangest quest that no one else seems to have played? 3) if Bob decides to fast travel to Endelyn's theatre, will there be just a whole few episodes wherein Ben just sits there while the other three have to lug Bob's body all the way back to the Ewolin Forest? 4) I know the greenscreens aren't canon, BUT if Bob muted Bodger by going through discord, doesn't that imply that bodger is a PC as well? pls correct me if I'm wrong though 5) how did the Sir Vey interview work? was Bob's player controlling him at that time? was their mind also wiped? 6) am I overthinking any of this?
Greg is muted, realizes it in a second and just accepts it, or at least it felt like so in before he actually did talk again somewhat later, but it really felt like he was miss-muted along with Bodger and just accepted it. :D
Oh golly. This had me in stitches. The throwbacks were wonderful. And then of course the outro was great. It's weird to think that some new viewers might not understand the old joke references.

Hey guys! Ask her for beans, or search her castle for beans. She lives so close to the bean merchant, you may find some there to buy all the cool loot!
22:05 Rowans look straight into the camera actually made me laugh way too hard. It looks like he's actually disgusted/confused with the current situation.
"You´re a tacky piece of shit, Baradun." "Why thank you Bob :D" Also, I do love how Alan VERY EMPATHICALLY asked if wanting to ´ride the mustache like a cowboy´ is actually canon and it appears that, yup, now we have a new ship
Okay, first of all, I'm loving the series! I watched since Ep.1 in a week or so (I'm currently sick, so never underestimate the time sick person has) and I have to say... My mind was blown by the epicness of the intro sequence since Ep.148 and I still can't even comprehend the quality of it. CGI team, awesome work! Also Rob, could you finally stop Bodger from having 3 attacks when he's frenzied and throws his hammer? It happened so many times I can't even... That said, Rob, you're one of the most amazing GMs and I adore you for having to put up with those lunatics. Djeoph, just go tohell, dude. You're the worst. 😱 Can't wait for another episode. Keep up the good work! 🙂
Baroness: "Fire Giants are the best blacksmiths in the world"
Bodger: "Am I a joke to you?"
Everyone: "Yes"
I was expecting Bodger to offer his prized possession :
His grandfather's spoon
he probably forgot he had it...
"PLAY BALDUR'S GATE GOD DAMMIT!" - Ben at his most logical
yet he failed his persuasion check
Yeah you guys should definitely play Baldur's Gate 2.

@@Andri474why? Cos ist's woke? Stupid comment
@@Andri474what's wrong with BG3
They are going to beat the campaign by getting every major faction obsessed with the golden mask and fighting for possession of it.
Throw the mask into the middle of the battle, and watch their foes kill each other for it. 🎭
one mask to rule them all
If this happens, than it would be the most awesomee and most clever tactic, which the likes of Hannibal and Napoleon would envy❤❤❤
All those quests, and they forgot they need to clear Ricky Fantasmo's name... hope they remember later on :)
I KNOW I was thinking about that lmao poor Ricky
Yeah... Ricky is screwed.. it took them months to follow up on the beans with very direct instructions.
Yeah, well Rob also kinda forced them into taking in this quest line at the time they did despite having several side quests they could have done. But after all these years… main quest is probably best quest for a bit
Greg saying "Holy sh*t" and no one realizing he's a life cleric with a shop full of sh*t lol
and dead bodies.
Do you think he actually meant it that deep? Or is it just a happy little accident?
Also, you're at 69 likes and I kinda don't want to mess with that :P
@Shade01982 - oh no. Greg is desperately trying to never think about that ever.
He can go back and bless the sh*t and dead bodies, making them Holy😂.
I'm just realising how his shop will be looking and smelling as Greg will turn home😄
It’s a good job Bodger is so good at gambling and doesn’t have an addiction
Baroness Waarzegrie whipping out her laptop to check her notes, check her emails and IG made me laugh. Now I understand why it's Cloud giant. Heh.
.......well the lightbulb moment JUST happened.......did not make that connection.....
I was thinking Bodger could offer the doll that's inside him😂
Mommy!
Well, I don't think I've been this nervous about what'll happen next since Bodger threw himself off the ship!
The ship with the invisible fairy tricksters who knew what the mask was…..that the main characters never followed up on…
@@msharp6887 settle down grumpy
Bodger's next inspiring speach will be about the mask. It is my mask, it is rightfully mine.
I like to think his Nat 20 meant he was practicing that speech in their sleep for weeks.
it would be great if they stop by Honeywood only to find a second Greg and Bodger running their shops since they are on a prolonged quest...
They did an epic NPC man episode about that. And man is it sad.

The leather worker got attacked. So no bodger clone atm. Only Greg
"I wanted to ride his moustache...like a Cowboy" 🤣😂🤣 Genuinely laughed so hard I couldn't breathe 😂☠

Thanks
Was reading Bodger's lips at 14:30. Got a great brownie recipe and an obscure story about how a hammer is rightfully his.
I have no issue with the giantess checking their notes, I hear its backed up in the cloud
14:11 Bob is a player, not an NPC. He is the prophesied one. Definitely the main character in a video game!
And he is playing in nightmare difficulty, why the dice seem to hate him.
I, actually really love this theory. It's brilliant.
Would explain why Kelothac chose him. Like in Skyrim & the Dragonborn doing quests for every single Aedra & Daedra
@@phoenixdzk one of these days we need an "all player party" that gets into an "I'm the chosen one!" Feud at some point.
Weekly reminder to turn your subtitles ON. You are most welcome.
They are just "mwah!" good 🤌🏻

Lorquin's subtitles are gold as always! Can't wait to see how this wager turns out 😆
"Cottoned on" 😁
@@neowolf09 I googled that after Rob's line and it seems to be a legitimate expression.

@@sterile_coffeegc3801 I'll check it out, thanks :)
I mean, they're playing D&D and still don't really know how it works (Rob excluded, of course).
It is great to watch them, good jokes aswell 👍
And conveniently - their quests line up Bodger to meet the 3 missing giant types for the hammer.
I really wish I could wear "laughs in BS" as an emotion or use it as an emoji. Great stuff as usual, Lorquin!
Would make a good shirt
Wagering someone else’s possession is such a Bodger thing to do
I really like that they now have a quest-log, because maybe they will not be so unstructured (HAHAHA, who am I kidding)
The invisible fairy tricksters from the sky boat ride knew what the mask was. Maybe get in touch with those people to finally answer that question. And while
You’re at it , figure out what the doll
Inside bodger is doing.
Was really hoping they'd make the game: "if you can figure out what this mask does in 1 day, you win the wager". They were so close
Rowan is famously a great roller... except when it comes to gambling. He didn't think this through.
Waiting for Rob to start keeping a pocketfull of Harribo for Rowan when he remembers stuff.
Ahh, the oh so common Nat 20 that completely throws of the DMs plans.
The inspiration tokens should have a cookie design 😅
🍪
Eeee.. those glasses on Rob are so cute and so fitting for the character!
Больше всего Робу подходил черный парик, когда он играл Яриса Златорога, прям 10 из 10

30:15 "You can't do that in the same program!"
Bold of you to assume Ben doesn't just have a pre-programmed key to instantly mute Bodger...
Greg's face laughing after asking "is this what Bob wants?" absolutely got me 😂
The way Alan broke when Ben said "succulent" XD
...Dang it Rowan, that song is now stuck in my head again 😂
Alan with his note at the beginning reminded me of Buffy: Fire bad, tree pretty 😀
Cant wait for the art/vfx team to hide Bodger's left arm for the rest of the campaign 😂
shoutout to rob's sanity btw. idk how he's managed to hold onto it. (I say this affectionately)
nothing like making a deal when you only know what you are betting but dont know what you are betting on
cannot believe y'all missed the "in the cloud" pun with that computer scene!!!
Given Bodger's history with gambling, I am confident this will not be a problem at all.
They also need to clear Ricky Fantazmo's name
by the end of next episode Bodger will have no remaining limbs
😆 Love it!
Double or nothing!
Appreciate how you put bloopers for the annotation lately ❤
"It wasn't always wet" fucking killed me...
In next episode preview, it's funny you let Bodger roll for the gamble, when Bob still has his tokens ready for an auto crit.
I’m really excited that (Smarganrock) is a confirmed destination. There was a song about the dragons there but only the cutdown version made it to NPC series…..could be good material for their next play XD Also, Bodger’s dice rolls are insane - he always gets his way! Everyone’s worried about Laethil while the true threat goes unnoticed XD
You need to get some treats like jelly beans to give Rowan when he gets things right
Rob's German accent during the greenscreen part is so spot on ❤ As a German, it hurt listening to it, but it was wunderbar at the same time.
Bodger should've wagered the frigging doll inside him, its his most valuable possession, literally his child
A gambling scene with no Sandra!
7:45 mins in and Rob is still trying to get through the opening dialogue 😂 the man has the patience of a saint!
Right up until he breaks again and yells Shut the Fuck up!
OKAY now that we know that Bob is a PC for sure:
1) who is playing him (if anyone)? my running theory has been that he's kinda the inverse of Ben's character in "when a player turns into an NPC" if that makes any sense? like a sentient bot PC? idk if that makes any sense at all lol. or maybe ben himself is playing Bob?

3) if Bob decides to fast travel to Endelyn's theatre, will there be just a whole few episodes wherein Ben just sits there while the other three have to lug Bob's body all the way back to the Ewolin Forest?
4) I know the greenscreens aren't canon, BUT if Bob muted Bodger by going through discord, doesn't that imply that bodger is a PC as well? pls correct me if I'm wrong though
5) how did the Sir Vey interview work? was Bob's player controlling him at that time? was their mind also wiped?
6) am I overthinking any of this?
Going out on a limb there Bodger :P Good luck you heroes!
Greg is muted, realizes it in a second and just accepts it, or at least it felt like so in before he actually did talk again somewhat later, but it really felt like he was miss-muted along with Bodger and just accepted it. :D
With the amount of 20s Rowan is rolling, imagine if he was playing a Rogue or a Paladin instead of a Barbarian.
1) The Quest log proves Bob is a PC and not a NPC (as we all knew)
2) Bodger losing his left arm might not be so bad as that is the arm with the doll.
21:00 Can’t believe Bodger didn’t correct him and say, “No. I said left.”
Bodger is about to lose an arm huh, that will be interesting hahahaha
i mean, as an avid glorious mustache enthusiast myself, Rowan's mustache is greatly missed 😂😂😂😂
"I bet you cant tell us what this mask does" its was right there guys, right there. The win win bet!
Oh golly. This had me in stitches. The throwbacks were wonderful. And then of course the outro was great.
It's weird to think that some new viewers might not understand the old joke references.
0:23 "We'll just kill him" D&D in a nutshell.
And yet, didn't attack him with surprise when both Bob and Bodger are right beside him as they walk into the manor.
Poor Rob, dementia is settling in sooner than expected. :)
It’s like Bodjer ar the begining of the series. I miss the 3 second amnessia😂

Also Rob: Laethil is megalomaniac, e.t.c...
Well okay. For me, in any case, he IS morally gray.
well I think Rob meant that at his current state he has no future where he's redeemable so he is as a matter of fact irredeemable at the moment
Neither of those are mutually exclusive. Learn to English?
I look forward to next week when or if bodger will become the famous one armed blacksmith of honeywood.
I honestly can't believe it, but somehow, the episodes are getting even BETTER.
For the record: I liked the mustache Rowan
26:30 Bodger gaslighting everyone haha
I will NEVER get tired of Rob going "it's very gaudy" only for Baradun to respond "isn't it beautiful?!'
We need some iconic Justice League Superman upper lip CGI.
Hey guys! Ask her for beans, or search her castle for beans. She lives so close to the bean merchant, you may find some there to buy all the cool loot!
ohhh wait, did we just finally get a confirmation that BOB is a player character?
so we confirm bob is an player at last. otherwise he wouldnt have a quest log
Baradun really does have a talent for ruining any moment.
The mustache is epic Rowan. You should definitely keep it. I'd like to see the whole D&D crew with some powerful mustaches.
Bodger's most prized possession is definitely his Grandfather's hammer
The blooper at the end is legendary
22:05 Rowans look straight into the camera actually made me laugh way too hard. It looks like he's actually disgusted/confused with the current situation.
"You´re a tacky piece of shit, Baradun."
"Why thank you Bob :D"
Also, I do love how Alan VERY EMPATHICALLY asked if wanting to ´ride the mustache like a cowboy´ is actually canon and it appears that, yup, now we have a new ship
Impressive that still watch and enjoy these years in.
The scene of Bodger losing his mustache was the best laugh I've had in a while.
I've trully found my love for dnd thanks to you guys, love what you do in this channel and all of the skits in the other one
The consistency with the MUSTACH is bonkers!! Thank god it fell
Rob needs to get some skittles or something for when they already have hero tokens
The mask is going to be a wild plot device. I can only imagine how crazy it actually is
The mask has probably “just” a mighty course in on it that makes everyone who tries to identify it’s powers obsessed with it and slowly goes crazy 😂👌
the fight over the mustache is one of my fav things ever!! Like a cowboy 😂
Nooooo, why did the angle of the table change! 😂
I forgot about the mask and now I'm back to needing to know what the hell it is and does!
"Just Alt+Tab to Discord, and... mute!" 🤣
T-shirt design! (B.O.B. riding a mustache)
