19:10 Griffin: "You could end up with a..." Griffin's inner monologue: "Make it sound cool! Spear made of dragon bones! Spear made of dragon bones!" Griffin: "A spear made of dragon boners or something." Griffin's inner monologue: "DAMMIT!"
Silver actually has antimicrobial properties which would counteracts the stink that normally forms under bracelets. I know I'm many years late, but I thought about this.
The Director: We very quickly cut your hand off and get the bracer off- but then we attach the hand back! And it's like not a big deal. Magnus: Sounds good to me! magnus, an advocate for hand-chopping since 2015
I like how Davenport started off as a joke and then Griffin managed to shoehorn in a reason for his behavior later. This is usually how I do like 90% of my games.

remember when griffin lied at 30:26 and said magnus didn't have a beard? i've been listening to taz balance for the 4th time through just to feel something and i just have to laugh every time i hear him say that because it was only 7 hours of podcast content earlier that i explicitly heard travis say magnus has a beard and bushier sideburns than the rest of his beard 🤗
14:40 The Director: we think the red robes who created the artifacts are dead. Me, who has listened through this once before: You dirty liar! Two! Two of them are dead right now, and you know that full well! And you know exactly who the rest of them are, you paternalistic shit. I love you, but I also hate you. How could you? Fisher didn't deserve to be used this way. Your crewmates didn't deserve this. Also, I didn't remember that Davenport talking like a Pokemon was just a random off-handed goof. Knowing more about the story than the creators did is a really weird thing. What did Griffin know when he wrote in the Umbra Staff? Did he know about Lup? He clearly didn't know about Davenports gut-punch backstory. Did he know about Lucretia's backstory? It's so weird to go "oh. Griffin didn't know at this point."
This is so much fun to look back on after finishing... specifically little things that ended up playing into the narrative without actually being forshadowing at the time. Such as The Director's inability to think ahead "How do we get the bracers off after we find all the relics" "Oh shit" . The suddent decision 'this' episode for Davenport's speech pattern. The Seventh Relic's potential location or form.
Hearing this a second time.... its fun seeing the foundation for so much future development...... spells and epic (and hilarious) moments that all stem from decisions made here.
That "Major Tom/Space Dog" thing is, in fact, a real song. Less of a cover, more of an inspiration. It's called Space Doggity and it's about Laika, the first dog in space.
I just started listening a few days ago. . . I can already tell I’m going to cry when I reach the final episode because I don’t think I will find anything as good as this ever again
"if we see someone in a red robe, kill them, got it" "NO, don't" SPOILERS - - - - - - - this line means a lot more to me after finishing the series lol
i’m reading these comments whilst listenting to this for the first time and im assuming that the bureau of balance are the bad boys and the red robe fellas are the good ens because ya know plot twist
@@ohnoitsbuntie3763 omg if youre listening for the first time pls try to avoid spoilers in the comments! trust me it is SO important for your listening experience
Lydia D haha too late for that, i finished the first campaign about a week ago. its good advice on your part though (honestly looking at this comment i cant believe how clueless i was sometimes listening to balance.)
Haaaaa Taako joined the school of TRANSmutation of magic, this is my second time watching this dnd podcast. Now all the fanart makes sense along with the shipping down the line 😄
How does Taako (idk spelling sorry) work? Cuz as a wizard his intelligence is probably high but he acts as if it isn’t. Just a character choice? Also I’m new so if something is a spoiler than I don’t need to know, thanks!
Wait wait wait. I'm WAY late here but...they had LOTS more than 600 gold each. They got 600 gold each just from the director for their work with the gauntlet. And there was like 340 secret gp from the dead dwarf they looted with his shoes right? And there was more awarded than just that 600 immediately before wasn't there? 😅
Not sure if you're still figuring this out, but yeah, Clint is their dad and Griffin (DM), Justin (Taako) and Travis (Magnus) are brothers. If you're just getting into this, it's a blast!
I dunno, I feel like the wand has enough limitations on it you aren't going to be switching places all over the place. Frankly only 1 charge per day is a rip off.

Lmaaaooo
Leon, gnome
Lawn gnome
Griffin made a lawn gnome
I love how Griffin took this Pokemon Davenport bit and turned into the most heartbreaking piece of lore in the whole podcast
He took basically all the goofs from act one and made them into the whole lore. It's honestly super beautiful.
Merle: Daddy like!
Everyone else: *awkward silence*

It's funny because Clint was %100 correct in that they had more gold, though I don't know how much they had exactly
The Director: We very quickly cut your hand off and get the bracer off- but then we attach the hand back! And it's like not a big deal.
Magnus: Sounds good to me!
magnus, an advocate for hand-chopping since 2015
And arm tearing
keep him away from ethan winters, those hands have been through enough
Literally in the first episode Griffin references Magnus's arms getting torn off. It's insane.
I love these good, sweet boys and their papa so much. I am embarrassed it took so long for me to start binging these.
Off same but totally worth the wait
same
Same
You think you feel bad, I'm here in 2022, 7 YEARS LATER
AND WHAT ABOUT ME HUH?!?! :'D
as someone who binged this today, Magnus has definitely had a beard and bushy sideburns since episode one

The “Davenport is a Pokémon “ comment broke me, I’m re-listening

Evangelizing to teens through the worship of _Pan_ seems all sorts of appropriate.
Ha ! Davenport winks... :P

When I did my first listen through it was. No shit, a 2 hour like ugly sobbing fest in my bathroom. So. Good.
You can charm any animal or PLANT
No...
This will be very important later...
charm indeed

*"My loafers are not evil!"* Is such an underrated quote
I like how no one acknowledges that the corpse holding the umbra staff had a red robe
I haven’t finished this series but I’ll bet my internal organs that they come back to this. Just fucking wait.
@@nedwardnobqop6568 I've listened to this podcast 4 times over. And all I'm gonna say is 👀
(SPOILERS)
Leon: This umbrella was made by the umbra wizards
Lup: Quit talking out of your a** and just tell them you don't know, GOD
"Built like a brick shithouse." Man, that is a great saying.
"if we see someone in a red robe, kill them, got it"

Griffin, Having Probably Spent the Previous All-Nighters Creating These Characters, In A Panic; pLEASE DON'T-
i’m reading these comments whilst listenting to this for the first time and im assuming that the bureau of balance are the bad boys and the red robe fellas are the good ens because ya know plot twist

@@ohnoitsbuntie3763 omg good! you finished so quick! glad you werent too spoiled. @ any other newcomers reading the comments- please be careful omg
You know Griffin's a real DM because he immediately forgets all secondary information from previous sessions.
Poor Leon. He started off so excited for them, and then it all just ran off the rails lmao
The funny thing is that I'm fairly certain Merle's first god had, as his 5e Domains, Trickery and NATURE. There was no need to change!
I love how much effort it took to show Taako how to put the coin in the machine, only to make it so his go-gurts are more refreshing.
"The Bible doesn't need a warranty sir, it's the good book" fucking dying over here
Scrumptious!
wait iirc the skeleton who taako took the umbrella from wore a red robe-
yes she did! well remembered, keep it in mind :)
@@aud7593 *she but yes
@@Marzianpack omg i can't believe...... thank you wow @ self. i think i thought of taako but that's kinda wild
They use he/him pronouns for the skeleton. Almost anything counts as a spoiler with this series, please be careful.
Skylar Webb I don’t think that the skeleton being a lady is a spoiler.
Skip break 37:37

Bless your exsistance
👍👍
Truly a saint
Thank you my friend
25:16 Merle: "you have too crank yourself"
LMAO
15:21 WAIT THE SKELETON WAS IN A RED ROBE DID ANYONE ELSE CATCH THAT
Well your in for a treat
I wish i could have suggested an item. The Taako Bell. When rung, any creature within range must make a con saving throw or get diarrhea on the spot
Omg that's wonderful I love that idea
I really like this kind of episodes. It gives a feel of growth. Especially for someone who is non the wise in the D&D tree of classes
I feel so bad for them because they did have like, another 600 GP beyond what they got from the bureau
The seventh artifact is Tacos.
Haaaaa Taako joined the school of TRANSmutation of magic, this is my second time watching this dnd podcast. Now all the fanart makes sense along with the shipping down the line 😄
Wait, Is taako transgender?
@@beecat97 No, I don't want to spoil things in case you have not finished it but there is a trans character later on in the show
@@michaela4693 kinda a spoiler, but the show has been out for years:
I kinda head cannon that he studied the field to help Lup with her transition.
8:30 FYI this song exists, Space Doggity by Jonathan Coulton.
Delicious
Greatness.
My favorite part about the fantasy gachapon is it's literally how loot used to work back in my day.
Delectable
Wait hold on, is Garfield the Deals Warlock not here??? I’ve been betrayed?!?!
Yeah he technically didnt even exist in mbmbam yet
How does Taako (idk spelling sorry) work? Cuz as a wizard his intelligence is probably high but he acts as if it isn’t. Just a character choice?
Also I’m new so if something is a spoiler than I don’t need to know, thanks!
High intelligence/Low wisdom
@@mustapleko Also, he spends so much of his mental processing on uncovering the mystery of the taco, that the remaining 5% leaves him pretty dumb.

Firing out of a canon... Secret of Mana, is that you?
Wait wait wait. I'm WAY late here but...they had LOTS more than 600 gold each. They got 600 gold each just from the director for their work with the gauntlet.

This is really cool.
28:00 CHILLI
I just realized that the actual drew davenport is known for being quite tall, so of course griffin made his TAZ counterpart a gnome 😂
Davenport :D
i love him
FANTASY COSTCO
Ohoho levels
Magnus is a tank
hhow long has this leveling been going-
I wonder why Griffin banned dogs on the moon.
He thinks that dogs should vote, but not be on the moon. A complex man to be sure
Is dad literally one of there dads, I’m still not sure of these lads relationships to each other
Not sure if you're still figuring this out, but yeah, Clint is their dad and Griffin (DM), Justin (Taako) and Travis (Magnus) are brothers. If you're just getting into this, it's a blast!
Justin (taako is oldest), Travis (middlest magnus), Griffin ( youngest and dm).
I dunno, I feel like the wand has enough limitations on it you aren't going to be switching places all over the place. Frankly only 1 charge per day is a rip off.
