This is true because ancient generals would try to time their attacks based on the high point of the effects of caffeine on their soldiers to get true best results from their armies
Nonononono, that's your problem right there, Gorlac has invaded so much that it has become normal, so the urgancy has been gaslit into nonexistence. Stop going for coffee and actually open your eyes, if we don't step it up, Gorlac wins.
Actually it does, it happens at least once a week. One time it took a month, but that's because someone put C4 near one of the shards and blew him up, making him recover for a month before he could try again.
IT'S EVERY TUESDAY. EH-VER-REE TOOS-DAY. DO YOU GET COFFEE MORE THAN ONCE A WEEK WITH YOUR FRIENDS? NO. UNLESS YOU ARE A AMBASSADOR FROM THE SHADOWFELL WHO FEELS HOMESICK, YOU DO *NOT* NEED COFFEE WITH FRIENDS EVERY DAY.
Because Gorlac always steals the shards at the last minute after we've collected them all, and brags about how it was part of his plan the whole time to let us collect them.
A fun twist on this would be Gorlac: "Haha! I just stole the shards after I made you collect them from the danger vaults! ...Wait, these are just bits of glass?" Heroes: "You tried the same thing 500 years ago old man. Did you really expect we forgot?"
@@Virtualblueart "To be fair that's over 100 generations of passed down stories and the ghost that told you to collect them didn't think this through as well as you did." "How do you know about Exsal the ghost." "Who do you think I let gather the shards last time? I bet he made you fight a dragon and a pirate or something."
@@JoshlabsYeah, 300 hours in you learn that Gorlac was the last member of the ancient precursor civilization who ruled the world in the distant past before some calamity wiped them all out, and he’s trying to return the world to its original primordial state.
Maybe Gorlac is mad and wants to open the Shadow Gate because he hasn't had his caffeine fix yet, invite him along for coffee, he might be more resonable after.
Everyone always says "hey let's go grab a bite", "let's get something to eat" but no one ever says "Let's reunite the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth" smh
I like the idea that some random guard or knight, used to fight eldritch horrors and magical monstrosity sometimes take vacations in a parallel world where everything is normal and he just look like any regular dude in the street.
That'd be interesting, the plot could revolve around difficulties in both worlds and him struggling to choose between worlds (perhaps the portals only open for finite time) in the human world he's safe and peaceful but he knows eventually the peace will turn to boredom, in his world it's dangerous but never dull.
@@secretsecret3528 Its not that interesting a lot of the time. I have read multiple stories like this and it usually just feels like you as the reader would rather be in the exciting place all the time and the main character should definitely be in the exciting place too helping people because retiring isn't really on the menu when the stakes are this high. I have yet to see if done in a way that doesn't feel bad. If the main character is actually ok with letting a world die without him you don't really have a story. You have a side character in the story that the real main character should meet in the peaceful world.
@Merilirem I see your point it'd be very difficult to do, the idea wasn't to have the character act as a hero but someone just surviving day to day but it being exciting due to monsters, etc. Trouble is I suspect the story would get boring quick for the reader so even if it was done right it'd likely have to be very short
Good question! Honestly, taking someone to your DnD session is probably a better first date than taking them out for coffee. Why tell them about your true self over a Frappuccino when you can just show them!
New idea: Make DND campaign, figure out how to run it around town instead of on a board game recruit random strangers by saying something like "Sir, a special message from the queen of ice, she wishes for you to complete this quest to receive your crown. If this mission is rejected you may go about your everyday life, if not meet me at the location provided" and hand a slip of paper with a time, day, and location on it. Make sure to dress in a cloak and see how many people match the energy. Potential new friends and some fun
Gorlac is chill. I mean yes, he is a Tier 9 threat who could totally destroy a few countries in a days work, but if you don't mess with him he is an alright dude. He usually takes a 2 week vacation, and stocks up on tea before leaving.
If our first date is going out for coffee instead of just inviting me over to your place to naughty immediately, I will respect you. But if our first date is going to a dnd game, I will be hiring a wedding officiator to meet us there.
"IDK man it's just that, that's kind of a commitment, you know? Coffee, I can just throw anything on and be there in a couple minutes. Gorlach? Man, I've got prep spells, sharpen my blade, hell I have to tell the wife, and you know how she is. Tell you what, let's set a day, preferably on a Thursday, because, you know, kids have extracurriculars, jimmy is learning draconic, Drizz't got his whole thing going on. Better yet, I'll message you when I'm good" or some excuse like that
To be fair, it was originally " we should grab coffee while we are on our quest to stop Gorlac from reuniting all the shadow stones, because otherwise I'mma tpk someone.". 😂
I've tried that. Every single time, it's been one of Gorlac's agents. You can tell one of his agents because they say something like, "You're a freak! Get away from me!", or they kick you in the delicates.
My bad apparently he started cult lead by his daughter. Last time he was here But god Dang it people I might be the immortal warrior who was tasked with stopping him 10,000 years ago but God dang it. He does this crap like every five years and I’m getting sick of it. It’s y’all’s turn now good luck I you give magic now I’m gonna go get coffee and finish packing I have a flight to Hawaii to catch
Because it's difficult to battle Evil without Caffeine, M'Lord
Then grab a mountain dewskie
Sadly that will cause a disoriention if the potion wears off...
So bring extra
Knight Worgen, if the caffeine is so important, than tell the apothecary to procure some post haste!
If the supplies of caffeine are short, a concotion of herb mate is always a substitude.
This is true because ancient generals would try to time their attacks based on the high point of the effects of caffeine on their soldiers to get true best results from their armies
Someone needs to stop Gorlac.
hey lets go stop Gorlac
Sure thing just gotta know how much gun to bring
The answer is YES@@Glitchywizard

@@joshuahammons2992 good to know I’ll be on my way
To be fair, Gorlac doesn’t invade enough for it to be casual talk.
For thousands of years he has slumbered.

@beastwarsFTW it was a wyvern, thank you. And yes it was very difficult *AHEM*
I don’t see why we can’t grab a cup of coffee on our way to reunite the shards
You are my battle buddy
Because we don't have time, John!
If we use the shards to power a Wish spell, we would all have cups of coffee, and Gorlac would have nothing to use.
@@HaroldoPinheiro-OK 3 points good sir
Right?? I need my caffeine before this...
This is some final fantasy style shit going on here
Nah, too straightforward.

I somehow expected him to be Golbez instead of Gorlac for a second there
I'll admit, finding your ideal partner on the field of battle is loads better than in your burning tavern or haunted coffee shop.
Someone with his priorities straight.
Let's stop Gorlac. ASAP.
Ah, classic Gorlac, doing typical Gorlac shenanigans

I saved this to my “ideas” playlist. I won’t say if it’s to reunite the shards, or to open the shadow gate.
Maybe Gorlac is mad and wants to open the Shadow Gate because he hasn't had his caffeine fix yet, invite him along for coffee, he might be more resonable after.
I dunno, Gorlac seems like a cool dude. Let's invite him along.
We could invite him for a cup of Coffee.
We have a Frying Pan Goblin for this. No worries.
rip fartbuckle
NOT THE SHADOW STONE
That sounds like it would cut into my 3-12 shift, and I REALLY need the cash sooo good luck👍
Relatable!
Speak the truth KING!!!
Some people just don't have their priorities straight, always sleeping on the serious matters.
A cup of Coffee would protect us against sleeping over the serious matters.
Honestly, if a man asked me out by inviting me along on a quest, I would probably fall in love immediately.
Well, if Gorlac opens the shadow gate, there will be more stuff to do with people other than getting coffee ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
HE GOT THE SHADOW STONES
Because I'm never around when Gorlak has the Shadow stone. I'm always near a coffee shop when he's in town.
I know like it's soo annoying why can't we ever reunite chards like that so relatable
"Lets reunite the shards"
Okay, easy there, Emet-Selch!
I’m gonna need coffee if I’m going to stop Gorlac
Dude EXACTLY!! people need to get their priorities straight and help stop gorlac!!
I mean I sent him the shadow stone for a reason. Now are we going for coffee or what?
I don't think Golrac is something we need to worry about, he sounds like a chill dude, let's go grab a coffie
Everyone always says "hey let's go grab a bite", "let's get something to eat" but no one ever says "Let's reunite the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth" smh
Nah, that’s reserved for main characters. Us NPCs have other things to do, like walking into walls and repeating dialogue.
Or walking into dialogue walls
Hehe
For the last time you ARE the main character! This is a team situation and you are all on the team!
Incorporating this into my lexicon as a way to ask people of they want to play D&D
Ugh…fiiiine, I’ll help get the shards, but you owe me
WE NEED THE HOLY SHARDS COLLECTED THEN! WHY DIDNT YOU STADT WITH THAT?!
Truth is, I just don’t think anyone knows just what’s at stake.
'Hey, let's grab a health potion'
Your art is amazing you should make a comic or a story with this kind of talent best of luck god bless

Because coffee meetups are trivial but end game raids take serious commitment
I don't fight eldritch abominations until I've had my coffee!
Hey, Gorlac's going to be at the local Coffee Shop, too. If you wanna stop him, the best time is right before he gets his morning cup
I get what you’re putting down. It’s questing time and I don’t have my weapons.
Good question! Honestly, taking someone to your DnD session is probably a better first date than taking them out for coffee. Why tell them about your true self over a Frappuccino when you can just show them!
He has a point…. Men gather your blades….. your spells… and your armor….
Gorlac is distracted by coffee... We need it.
The npcs when I do every side quest instead of the main story
Nah, Gorlac’s chill, he just really likes cool rocks. Nothing to be worried about at all!
Maybe Gorlac just wants to bedazzles his manicures using some extra sparkly Goth stones??
That is basically the plot of any old final fantasy
Gorlac has already slain me. Thou is on thee own. I wish thee the best of luck.

Oh great, Gorlacs got the crystals, guess I'm getting my red mage gear
Writing that one down as a date idea.
“Save the material and spirit realms from Gorlac the Unbegotten Malice and the fell powers of the Shadow Stone”.
Grabs axe. "Reuniting the stones sounds fun. I gots nothin else today."
Finally someone mentions it! I'm always like that with my friends but they always say no!
I sent this to my father with zero context. I wish I could have seen his face when he watched this
Hey let’s go get a cup of coffee before we stop Gorlac from opening the Shadow Gate
Romanceable NPCs in an RPG:
This feels like how Brennan Lee Mulligan would flirt
Finally somebody with sensibility!
We'll get that Gorlac! After coffee. And about 15 sidequests.
It’s because Coffee returns Gorlac the unpaid intern back to his office chair
Oh just let Gorlac open the gate. He just wants to see his dead wife again.
What if I want Gorlac to invade? I'd have given him the shadow stone.
I thought he would say why always coffee, why not tea or something, then he hit me with Gorlac opening the shadow gate!
Oh I know what's happening here. that's the whole reason why I've been training like Goku.
Nah mark's done with it
If he takes my cup of coffee then we have a problem. HIS PROBLEM!!!!!!!!
Everyone started looking for the shards we must reunite them to stop the dark lord he already possesses the Shadow Stone😂
HE'S GOT THE CHAOS EMRALDS
Damn, alright, gonna need a cup of coffee before we tackle that, though.
We MUST fight Gorlac, but first… coffee
HE’S GOT THE SHADOW STONE?! Aight, let’s go.
Stopping Gorlac needs to be on the ballot.
“Eh…”
“He’s got the SHADOW STONE”
“Real shit?! Then we ride at dawn!”
Because I have some time to spend to grab a coffee, but not enough for an epic quest...
Fatigue is a more persistent and constant threat than the occasional evil overlord. Therefore the shards don’t come up in conversation quite as often.
Dont talk to me about the dark lords evil plans before ive had my coffee.
Save the coffeehouse, save the world.
-Heroes
If i ever become a dungeon master rhis will be the story
Yeah, but Gorlac is always up to coffee and hang and I'm starved for positive human interactions.
Gorlac is chill. I mean yes, he is a Tier 9 threat who could totally destroy a few countries in a days work, but if you don't mess with him he is an alright dude. He usually takes a 2 week vacation, and stocks up on tea before leaving.

We can defeat the evil warlord but I ain't going without my cappucino
As a wise advisor once said
"Caffeine needed, my Lord"
"Oh, yeah, the END OF THE WORLD is just so casual that it can be treated like an evening thing to do..."
Ah, my mistake. I was under the impression that this was a social visit. I will grab my Tome, my Staff and my Cloak. We must be cautious.
And you're worried about COFFEE?! Read the room ALEX!
I've tried that. Every single time, it's been one of Gorlac's agents. You can tell one of his agents because they say something like, "You're a freak! Get away from me!", or they kick you in the delicates.
WHO THE FUCK LET GORLAC GET THE SHADOW STONE. WHO WAS ON WATCH OF THE FUCKING STONE!!

Leave Gorlac alone bro. He’s just adventuring
Sounds like the perfect date to me.
I'm more worried about Zargothrax.
I mean, Gorlac always wants to open the Shadow Gate and he never succeeds so why do we...wait what? He has the Shadow Stone?! Shit, WE RIDE BROTHER!
I have no clue what's going on, but you have my sword
