It's baffling when they're almost finished with combat and they don't actually finish it. "I'll investigate this huge shield IN THE MIDDLE OF COMBAT". Also, they seem to want to kill all the enemies at once rather than focus fire and kill one, taking it out of the rotation so it can't damage them. SO frustrating sometimes. Finish off opponents that are hurt
@@Dave_L913 Maybe they just play the way they like and have fun? Kind of hope you aren't a GM, since you are being so critical of the tactics used by players in a game that you have no part of.
Thank you Cam Buckland for calling out Juitou on her inconsistent morality. Sometimes she's a stone cold killer and sometimes she seems to think all life is sacred lol.
Freddie TF2 As a teenager myself and more importantly, a very... moral(?) based person, I see why she would. She’s a great character because her flaws are very much real (and tbh she did say “fair” once she got called out lol)
Only problem with that Snoot Snat is Juitou isn't mentally a teenager; she is just in the body of one. She has the same mind she had before she died...only her physical age is that of a teenager.
Ah yes Solitus, this is true, but at the same time, all those hormones raging in a teens body can lead to some pretty stupid and rash decisions, even if said teen has the mind of an adult. XD
To be fair, he hasn't seen any GLYPHS. He's seen runes, which are different. Also, he doesn't take much time through this episode to actually look around at his environment...he's just reacting to what's going on
44:21 the look of childish glee on Katie's face as she BARBEQUES on the BS agents with Heat Metal is one of the cutest and craziest things I've ever seen. Also the 'Yay!' was pretty cute too.
The plight of every good DM ever. I startet my players in a series of prison cells, Elder Scrolls style, I even made it obvious that I was rolling for something to be in on the other cells. No-one thought to look in the cells beside their own. I've also had an area of a map that was littered with Twig Blights, small creatures that are impossible to spot, when standing still. Out of a total 8 Blights, they only triggered one, and was mortified to hear how many there potentially was.
To be fair, Mark's loot game seems pretty random. When the Dao disintegrated an episode or two ago, all the Dao's equipment should have been left behind. SHE disintegrated upon death due to her form; her hammer should have been left behind - per the Monster Manual, anyway (I looked it up to decipher the Wall of Stone spell because I didn't think it could fill the space Mark claimed). Mark misses a lot as DM, ruling from faulty memory rather than spend time looking things up, and it's irked me a few times recently. He goes back and forth on the half-damage rounding rules (he started rounding down, went to rounding up for a few months, this episode has him rounding down again) and his ruling on nat20's only doubling the base damage is horse shit. He even changed his mind on doubling Hunter's Mark from one round to the next. I try to remember that D&D is about having fun, but these streams generate capital thanks to their viewers. It's not very interesting to watch Elora (Katie) be so negative about everything, specially when her character is supposed to be this peppy, positive, sprite-like young woman. It's not interesting to watch the rules change from round to round as Mark exhibits his complete lack of knowledge as a DM. It's not interesting to watch Elora spend ten minutes deciding between blight, call lightning, and wildshape, then watch Mark get mad at the others when they don't know what they want to do as soon as he says their name. I was fuming over Elora having the Moonbow, Belt of Frost Giant Strength, and Ring of Invisibility, and telling Cam that his magical dagger should be enough for him - specially since Elora has only benefited from the belt once since she got it while literally everyone else has made multiple checks with the choice of acrobatics/ATHLETICS, and she whines the Moonbow can't hit anything when it's her low rolling that's actually the problem. Also, her having the ring of invisibility is pointless when she can wildshape into MULTIPLE forms that would give her both added stealth and combat capabilities, not to mention the stealth capabilities of spells she has access to. Of course, there's always the "I have tons of gold but it's all party gold" thing, when she claims final say over any gold spent - it's at her whim, so it's HER gold. She only claims it's party gold so people will keep giving it to her...which is why everyone but Cam has their own stash of 200g in this episode. Trott plays Cam well - he's the most knowledgeable D&D player and purposely makes the most mistakes, RP'ing his intelligence and nerfing his already crappy build. Reynard seems an overpowered character meant for a 1-shot that got too popular to leave alone. Jiutou (Kim) seems like she uses her low charisma to avoid actual roleplay. "I'm just deadpan," "I'm just confused," "Why can't I take two actions per round, 4 attacks and 50 feet of movement just aren't enough for me!" And the complete inability for anyone to remember their abilities OR stats after over a year playing the same characters (we'll give Reynard some leeway but he literally has two moves that actually work). Maybe I'm spoiled by Critical Role, but I'm trying really hard at this point to enjoy this campaign. The most fun this group seems to have is outside of the actual game, out of character, with no relevance whatsoever to the reason people are actually watching these videos. Honestly, this campaign lost a lot when Trellimar left, even though he tended to fade into the background a lot. The Cam/Reynard aesthetic got old quick. Okay, now we have two egotistical moronic males in the party, and of course they make a competition out of EVERYTHING...and there's no dynamic because Reynard is basically everything Cam wants to be, physically and charm-wise. One's got a Nat20 and the other is Fabio with weapons, yet no major female character has ANY interest in either one until Gronka started crushing on Reynard...and even that seemed stacked against Reynard (and he can still fuck it up royally with a single sentence). And I blame a lot of it on Katie as Elora. She started this campaign as a princess who was sweet and kind and timid. Unlikely, but okay...until she suddenly got a mom complex where everyone's plans are too dangerous and when everyone DOES decide to ignore her negativity, she pouts and act like no one respects her opinions. The problem is all she has is opinions and one plan based completely around her PLETHORA of abilities, which usually doesn't align with what the party as a whole wants to accomplish. Her stubborn caution bogs the campaign down in uncertainty and arguing (note: EVERY other character backs down at the slightest bit of argument except Elora, who acts like the wisest when she had the LEAST experience with the outside world - her experience in-party is SHARED with her party members and does nothing to place her above them), her negativity goes completely against her character, and she has been vetoing a LOT of harmless possibilities that would make this campaign a LOT more entertaining. Her fight against the love potion - even after it was administered - is a HUGE case in point. Half an hour of video dedicated to her trying to convince everyone to undo something they didn't have the power to undo anyway, THEN wanting to wait it out while Talisval (sp?) prepared for war - or prepared to accept Falania's offer. They didn't know how the council would respond. Now after all that, there's suddenly time to pop out to go help Uncle Farahorn three weeks after anyone has heard from him. And isn't Graybell where Cam started? Where he was accused of murdering someone? Where there are reports of necromancy? (Even typing this I know I might be mistaken on this point, but it's what I remember at this point in the campaign). Where's the man who actually killed Cam's girl? I feel like this was a possible starting point with the boars and wolves boosted to make up for the fact that the characters are so high a level when they finally get to it. To give Trott credit, he's kept this campaign from being one long, boring sequence of events that seem completely planned out. His absolute refusal to deal with his past has completely fucked up Mark's plans and even the Revenant couldn't get Cam back on course, despite being designed to do so. Cam is the wild card, Jiutou is the awkward outsider, Reynard is the egotistical buffoon who somehow manages to be the epitome of a hero when it counts, and Elora...she's the brakes. No wild ideas, no daring chances, no cool shit is allowed if she has any say in it. She can buff herself up with over 100 extra hit points, she can easily deal 30-50 damage in a single round, and she has the most magic items out of the group...but she's the most boring. Her character doesn't even feel like an adventurer - with the attitude she shows in recent episodes up to this point, she would never have gotten involved with Cam, would have avoided Jiutou, hell, she'd probably call her guards on Trellimar. Sorry to vent here but there isn't much of anyone to talk to 4 years after the campaign...
When Reynard goes all stone cold for a second there and then Cam pipes up about morality. He turns to Elora, expecting some backup and she's just like "Whatever." I love it when Elora gets frosty.
I mean I know the campaign is over now, but after getting the belt of Frost Giant Strength, Elora is 6 foot 3. She would fit the armor pretty much perfectly. She is by no means "short" anymore.
She's pretty close. I think with the belt she might just be a little too tall and muscular. Still I have to agree with you in that Mark was factoring the change in.
I don't really know... I figured it must be a trick question merely because those kinds of riddles usually are, but the riddle itself never stated that nobody else went to the fair. It said "met on the way", which could mean anything. I guess in this case it means coming from the opposite direction? But it really doesn't make it very clear. The ladies could have been walking faster or slower than the other travelers and so have met some of them. I dunno, at least they got it right xD
The riddle is very old. It's basically how many people were going to St. Ives. Yes, it is good because it is about catching misdirection. However it's also bad to use because it's one of those things that gets around and a ton of people might know the answer already.
Imagine if Cam finally went and saved all the statues from the garden of stone. And the Mirrors of Life Trapping are very interesting to have in a campaign.
People calling out murder when the people literally tried to kill you a few seconds ago, and have been on the evil side of the war your fighting, is getting pretty old. Especially when THEIR OWN STUPIDITY KILLED THEM and not the party. :-(
To be fair, the party did indeed physically end there lives, some of them quite horribly. The real annoyance is that it's mostly Jiuto and Elora who probably also kill the most people.
Will Bubeck that's how all the magical items have been dispensed in this campaign, nobody seems to understand their roles or what their characters can use or need at all
@@spedwyrm7427 They didn't know it was going to age them. The item was called wisdom. Cam/Trott probably thought it would give him some points in wisdom or something like that.
The Riddle..... Two ladies were traveling to Golden Glade Fair, Pale of skin, silken of hair. Four drunken dwarfs they meet that day, Rudy cheeks and smiling gay. Six little boys they to did greet, Eating bread and honey sweet. A Huntsmen on the road they saw, Holding trophies of hide and claw. Three dancers laughed and said hello, Their clothing bright and hair worn low. Ten noble couples walked along, Their hearts a flutter in romantic song. Of all the people seen this way, how many went to the Fair that day?
Zero actually. Mark got it wrong. The riddle asks how many *seen* went to the fair, which means the ones doing the seeing are not included, and the list is given from the perspective of the two ladies travelling to the fair so they are the ones doing the seeing which means they are not included. Riddles are intentionally very very specific in the wording for this reason.
Absolutely. Also there are six, the same number as the elven spires. And Mark also said the elves changed after they defeated the Archfey and established those spires. So I have some head canon until the story should reveal otherwise.
I wasn't watching properly so at 53:43 I thought Kim was speaking instead of Katie. So when kim later said she had evasion it confused me because I thought she'd rolled a natural 1 earlier.
It’s in this episode I realize my perception of the fey as a whole aren’t what I thought. In my mind, the fey were benevolent nature spirits (yes, I do know they Green Hunter was malevolent) but I’ve since realized that the fey are kinda like humans; you have your good ones, the ones who don’t care and the ones that are always looking to get a one up on others.
You really think that rolling a 21 on a 4 is that bad? In a special lvl 20 campaign I was playing recently we were fighting jubilex, and I had 58 strength due to a potion mishap... I rolled a 2, does a 32 hit?
One of the results on the potion mishap table in the DMG (I think it's on a roll of 90-99) is "Double the numerical effects of one of the potions that you drank" We randomly determined the potion to be the Storm Giant Strength potion that should have set my strength to 29, so it set it to 58 instead.
I was barbarian as well, so I couldn't roll below a 58 on strength checks. Considering that my athletics was +30 at that point, I could only roll a 58 on checks...
@@voodoominerman That's a misunderstanding based on poor wording (a frustration I find here and there throughout 5E). Doubling additive or subtractive numbers would be okay but when something is supposed to replace what you have with a specific number it really can only be that number. In this case Storm Giants have a specific strength. Also as the other guy pointed out 30 is a hard cap anyway.
But as the jokers always said it only takes one bad day to turn the Goodman bad. He may have not said that exactly but that is his philosophy Especially dark night and comic
I don't think that was the point. I had a few grey hairs by that age which was what I think Mark was trying to convey. The thumbnail on the other hand went way overboard.
Because it doesn't change anything. It's a construct that few people are going to interact with not a real elf person leftover from the time before. Also if you explained it you might point out that the elves after the war are more like the archfey than they were before. And that would only create suspicion and give her a reason to not help them.
Let me join the party, I be great at riddles Humes: ...how many went to the fair that day? Me: 2 Katie: 36? Me: 2! Kim: I think it might be 2. Me: Thank you!!!
You'd be wrong, just as Mark was. The question wasn't "how many people went to the fair". The question was "of the people *seen* this way, how many went to the fair that day?". Since the riddle is told from the perspective of the two women, they are the ones doing the seeing so they are not included in the people *seen*.
Asherandai My guy - if it were asking from the perspective of the ladies, the riddle would be written in the 1st person. The whole riddle is a description to the reader, who “sees” all of the characters, however, only two (the ladies) were confirmed to have been going to the fair.
@@TheGracefulWhale Mate - There are dozens upon dozens of similar riddles and none of them are written in first person, yet they all have the same intentional language. If the intent was for the readers perspective then the riddle would include a line such as "You followed 2 ladies to the fair" or something, but instead it is asking what the ladies saw, hence "... seen *this way*". The very nature of a riddle is such that *every* word and phrasing is intentional to mislead and confuse, that's what makes it a riddle. Writing in 3rd person is just another example of a riddle attempting to mislead. You assume you are watching the ladies and everyone they see, but the riddle very intentionally *does not include you* because it is not asking what you see but intentionally misleads you into answering what you would see if you were included. It's the same principle as a devil promising not to harm a hair on your head. You assume the devil won't hurt you, because you're accustomed to normal human speech which relies heavily on intent rather then precision. However the devil would in fact be able to, for example, disembowel you so long as it didn't touch any hairs on your head. The intent of the words does not reflect the words themselves, and that is extremely common in normal speech and communication. But like riddles, deals with devils are precise and exact in their words. If it is not explicitly said, then it does not exist. Hence, returning to the riddle, it is not explicitly said that the "reader" is watching the women and therefore the reader does not exist in the context of the riddle, so what they "see" also does not exist.
Certainly a suboptimal choice but 1) He's a first timer, 2) he was originally a guest character so more like One Shots in that respect and 3) He debuted as something of a fraud so he prioritized deception and persuasion. Some people go with the RP choices over pure mechanical superiority.
To the people who think Kim is playing well, ehhhh I'm pretty sure all the inconsistency is just due to her having a pretty inconsistent memory, and not intentional.
Actually the answer to the riddle was zero. The question wasn't how many of the people went to the fair, it was how many of the people *seen* went to the fair. The distinction of *seen* being that the answer does not include the ones doing the seeing, and since the list was given from the perspective of the two ladies they are not included in the answer.
Zew Zealenders? As an Australian (whose parents were born in New Zealand), I basically have a phd in taking the piss out of them. "Zew Zealenders" is just un-comedically inaccurate.
2:09 the party is being stupid, if Reynard's uncle was at this tree place tow mouths ago he can't be hear any more because he reserved letters from him that were wrote 2 weeks ago and I don't think there's and messengers in the tree.

It's baffling when they're almost finished with combat and they don't actually finish it. "I'll investigate this huge shield IN THE MIDDLE OF COMBAT". Also, they seem to want to kill all the enemies at once rather than focus fire and kill one, taking it out of the rotation so it can't damage them. SO frustrating sometimes.

Studio Nathan Gaming 36

Zero actually. Mark got it wrong. The riddle asks how many *seen* went to the fair, which means the ones doing the seeing are not included, and the list is given from the perspective of the two ladies travelling to the fair so they are the ones doing the seeing which means they are not included.
Riddles are intentionally very very specific in the wording for this reason.
@@asherandai1000 Except the poem of the meetings confirms they travelled together. Zero would imply they never saw each other either.
This should be re-titled "Jiutou and the quest for noodles"
That triumphant music from like 28 minutes, dude which track is that, I need that for my own campaign
Instantly people forget mark saying it was used as a prison for the arch fae who weren't as powerful my theory is that is what the mirrors are
Absolutely. Also there are six, the same number as the elven spires.
And Mark also said the elves changed after they defeated the Archfey and established those spires.
So I have some head canon until the story should reveal otherwise.
Grunker disappeared apparently for the last half of that
ryanrebel123 Havent gotten there yet but knowing mark im sure there was just a convienent anti-orc magical forcefield that teleported her out :P
Or she just fell asleep, she was pretty worn out by that battle, and it's not like they'd realize she wasn't with them anyways
A shame scince I like Grunker.
She offered to break the guardian statue off the tree at around 2:10:00
and was in the conversation at 2:25:00
omfg I don't know about the foam fingers but definitely PENNANTS in the merch!
“We’re all dying and so are you” -Kim Richards 2017
Kim knows what’s up.
I appreciate the Stormlight Archive reference. Shard Plate. Nasty stuff.
Oh god those Australian and South African accents trying to do a Pacific Islander NZ accent lol.
BAG OF MOLDING
Holy crap im so early, and hoping we find out why cam looks ancient in the thumbnail
Kim yells for a healer when everyone's spells are spent and she's the one sitting on those top healing potions?
Did they discover the Character Creation Dungeon :D
Nah, theres no guard there to watch the player morph and change shape before their eyes.
40:17 Trott is a dolphin, confirmed.
It makes me very happy to know that mark and trot read strormlight.
Seeing the trouble they had with the riddle I guess mark is the only one of them who's seen die hard 3 :)
As soon as i heard the first line i though, "as I was going to saint ives" xD
"I met a man with seven wives"
Whenever Cam is the voice of reason you know you fucking up lol
Break ends at 1:35:13
Reynard's execution by wolf was fucking brutal
I’ve done it! From the very beginning to the present, now I just need to watch the stream today
Glad to see everybody loves my country's accent
Where does the music that they play on break come from? That haunting tune that played this episode was awesome.
Halfway through Oathbringer, still no animated shard plate.
Derploop have you read the novela? Apparently it helps explain one of upcoming characters.
Got the answer to the riddle instantly thanks to Die Hard with a Vengeance :)
Catching up on these, I don't think they have ever returned in 5...
1:04:35 Gotta love Grunka
Gronka takes the grace potion. Now all we have to do is introduce her to Falk.
She seems far more interested in Reynard though
@@MorinehtarTheBlue Spoilers
Nope. I'm very serious about spoilers and I've been binging this series for the first time. Zero advanced knowledge.
That riddle, not the same riddle from Die Hard With A Vengence, but it's the same riddle.
I’m watching this in 2021 and I instantly thought of Die Hard.
I wasn't watching properly so at 53:43 I thought Kim was speaking instead of Katie. So when kim later said she had evasion it confused me because I thought she'd rolled a natural 1 earlier.
I'm totally stealing that slider deal for my campaign.
That guy is really lucky it was only 4 weeks. Other fantasy stories have had people be in situations like that for hundreds of years
I'm not usually a "If a guy and a girl are friends they must be flirting" But does it seem like Grunka has a little crush on reynard?
she absolutely has, and it seems reynard cant keep away from her ether
Keyleth Of The Air Ashari it's 100% obvious that she does
I ship it!
Ye she does, he always worried when around him
Blaringly obvious that someone hasn't been keeping up.
It’s in this episode I realize my perception of the fey as a whole aren’t what I thought. In my mind, the fey were benevolent nature spirits (yes, I do know they Green Hunter was malevolent) but I’ve since realized that the fey are kinda like humans; you have your good ones, the ones who don’t care and the ones that are always looking to get a one up on others.
Congratulations. Now if we can just get Mark to understand that Archfey and elves are actually capable of overlap lol.
You really think that rolling a 21 on a 4 is that bad? In a special lvl 20 campaign I was playing recently we were fighting jubilex, and I had 58 strength due to a potion mishap...
I rolled a 2, does a 32 hit?
what if you rolled 20 that would be funny insta kill the campaign boss
One of the results on the potion mishap table in the DMG (I think it's on a roll of 90-99) is "Double the numerical effects of one of the potions that you drank" We randomly determined the potion to be the Storm Giant Strength potion that should have set my strength to 29, so it set it to 58 instead.
I was barbarian as well, so I couldn't roll below a 58 on strength checks. Considering that my athletics was +30 at that point, I could only roll a 58 on checks...
30 is the literal hardcap for stats in 5e. 58 strength is breaking the rules.
@@voodoominerman That's a misunderstanding based on poor wording (a frustration I find here and there throughout 5E).
Doubling additive or subtractive numbers would be okay but when something is supposed to replace what you have with a specific number it really can only be that number.
In this case Storm Giants have a specific strength. Also as the other guy pointed out 30 is a hard cap anyway.
Naddpod has a kiwi barbarian
it smells like bossfight
1:50:50 Cam Buckland everyone
But as the jokers always said it only takes one bad day to turn the Goodman bad.
He may have not said that exactly but that is his philosophy Especially dark night and comic
Well there an end, full steam ahead.
Argh!
I so wish Jiutou had taken that lotion!
And I wish Elora had taken some of the grace one. She’s getting out of hand with the belt.
That sounds like Stellaris music at 1:52:30
What's the music at 1:23:18
I bet you Reynard's uncle is in mirror 6 and someone shatter it
If you heat animated armor, does it take damage if it IS the metal?
Well considering they're not immune or resistant fire, yes.
Again pyromaniac on her high horse lol 1:01:00
a human grays at 35? gah....this episode has got me frothing and there's still an hour to go
and Jiutou's pissed cuz she listened to Elora and didn't touch anything while Cam used the lotion she wanted.
and Elora's all like "do I sense this?" Bitch make a check or use a spell, you don't just feel the properties of shit
I don't think that was the point. I had a few grey hairs by that age which was what I think Mark was trying to convey.
The thumbnail on the other hand went way overboard.
shit i'm up to date, what now?
"I rolled two tens on 2d8." ...um, Mark, you're using the wrong dice.
He means 8+2 on each.
Wait? How many were going to Saint Ives?
Monkeyfox333 2 everybody else mentioned in the riddle they passed along the way to the fair
Where's the fan art?
They didn't tell the statue lady that the arch fey are gone and that Elora is what elves are now...how do you not tell her that stuff?!
Because it doesn't change anything. It's a construct that few people are going to interact with not a real elf person leftover from the time before.
Also if you explained it you might point out that the elves after the war are more like the archfey than they were before. And that would only create suspicion and give her a reason to not help them.
Imagine if they all took a lotion each. All them them might have changed a lot
yay

Let me join the party, I be great at riddles
Humes: ...how many went to the fair that day?
Me: 2
Katie: 36?
Me: 2!
Kim: I think it might be 2.
Me: Thank you!!!
You'd be wrong, just as Mark was. The question wasn't "how many people went to the fair". The question was "of the people *seen* this way, how many went to the fair that day?". Since the riddle is told from the perspective of the two women, they are the ones doing the seeing so they are not included in the people *seen*.
Asherandai My guy - if it were asking from the perspective of the ladies, the riddle would be written in the 1st person. The whole riddle is a description to the reader, who “sees” all of the characters, however, only two (the ladies) were confirmed to have been going to the fair.
@@TheGracefulWhale Mate - There are dozens upon dozens of similar riddles and none of them are written in first person, yet they all have the same intentional language. If the intent was for the readers perspective then the riddle would include a line such as "You followed 2 ladies to the fair" or something, but instead it is asking what the ladies saw, hence "... seen *this way*".
The very nature of a riddle is such that *every* word and phrasing is intentional to mislead and confuse, that's what makes it a riddle. Writing in 3rd person is just another example of a riddle attempting to mislead. You assume you are watching the ladies and everyone they see, but the riddle very intentionally *does not include you* because it is not asking what you see but intentionally misleads you into answering what you would see if you were included.
It's the same principle as a devil promising not to harm a hair on your head. You assume the devil won't hurt you, because you're accustomed to normal human speech which relies heavily on intent rather then precision. However the devil would in fact be able to, for example, disembowel you so long as it didn't touch any hairs on your head. The intent of the words does not reflect the words themselves, and that is extremely common in normal speech and communication. But like riddles, deals with devils are precise and exact in their words. If it is not explicitly said, then it does not exist. Hence, returning to the riddle, it is not explicitly said that the "reader" is watching the women and therefore the reader does not exist in the context of the riddle, so what they "see" also does not exist.
I need a counter for every time Mark says "Just about" when he means barely. Just about hits, means it almost hit but didn't.
That's funny. The phrase I keep hearing is "...things like that" whenever he describes things.
Book mark 2:25:58
lord tamnus
one went to saint ives
I mean, seriously... WWJD? What Would Jutto Do?
Why would reynard but that 18 in charisma and not wisdom as a ranger?
Certainly a suboptimal choice but 1) He's a first timer, 2) he was originally a guest character so more like One Shots in that respect and 3) He debuted as something of a fraud so he prioritized deception and persuasion.
Some people go with the RP choices over pure mechanical superiority.
To the people who think Kim is playing well, ehhhh I'm pretty sure all the inconsistency is just due to her having a pretty inconsistent memory, and not intentional.
why the jacket words
1:09:00
1:57:10
2:31:00
That was the easiest riddle I've ever heard
I apologise
For what? xD
That riddle, it's from Die Hard 3 right?
Oh goody, they found a character creation dummy.
Actually the answer to the riddle was zero. The question wasn't how many of the people went to the fair, it was how many of the people *seen* went to the fair. The distinction of *seen* being that the answer does not include the ones doing the seeing, and since the list was given from the perspective of the two ladies they are not included in the answer.
In a really annoying voice; "Why is he wearing a jacket?"
I am offended sir New Zealanders do not talk like that :p
Sean Bartlett “e em effended sir, Zew Zealenders do not talk like thet”
Zew Zealenders? As an Australian (whose parents were born in New Zealand), I basically have a phd in taking the piss out of them. "Zew Zealenders" is just un-comedically inaccurate.
I hate being negative but Trott may be the worst cleric I have ever seen played.
As far as what he's going for it's more like a positive. Cam's a scoundrel and it makes you wonder how such a person managed to be a cleric at all.
Ha HA!

Totally Human nice try.
Your welcome.
only works on peapole with english as their browser language
2:09 the party is being stupid, if Reynard's uncle was at this tree place tow mouths ago he can't be hear any more because he reserved letters from him that were wrote 2 weeks ago and I don't think there's and messengers in the tree.
We don't really know if that's their mistake or Mark's. It doesn't really line up well though.
Snazzy 👌
