To anyone wondering whats up with the cutoff at the end, they were experiencing technical difficulties all night during the stream so they decided to just stop and resume it this Wednesday
Beginner DMs running published adventures can learn from the expert there. If a player has a heavy roleplay attachment to their gear, it might be worth replacing whatever magic item is in the book with a magical upgrade instead.
I do this all the time if a player has an item they're super attached to. They'll find something that causes their item to gain the properties of the item they would have otherwise found. Players really appreciate being able to keep an item that they feel is iconic to their character.
Yeah that was pretty cool. The party in the CoS campaign I'm running is part of a religious faction called Summon Dawn's Glory, which serves the Morninglord, and they'll prob also love the idea of having a holy relic from a saint of the Morninglord being used as a weapon against darkness.
I feel so sorry for Diath. Eve gets a fancy horse two fancy axes and a fancy necklace. Paulton gets the power of the vestani as well as the chance to make deals with the vampires. Strix has clues leading her to some powerful thing as well as meeting mages with spell tomes she can learn from. Diath gets hanged, hauled cross the country as a corpse, resurrected, cursed 3 times. And now he finaly gets a blessing, but it's just the blessing of no longer being cursed. Although, I'm sad they didn't had a chance to try to resurrect saint markovia herself.
Haiiry Cake Diath could hav resurrected Arabelle after stabbing her with the Hag’s needle. Then once he has his curse removed the feed back the Vastani who cursed he revived would be with it. 😜
Sad because Diath has taken more decisive action without being handheld by the DM. The characters who hang back receive much safer treatment. Ah, Barovia is a beautiful yet brutal land.

Well if we think about it, his parents were murdered, found the guy after he became strong, chose not to kill him and sent him to live in a heavily secured facility with the mentally handicapped...
I waited so long for this! Thanks! Because I live in Belgium it is hard to have the time to watch streams at the time they are streamed, so I really appreciate these uploads. Love holly to bits and chris, jared, nate and anna! I don't really want this to ever stop haha
I'm almost completely caught up now, sorry for being so late. I was thinking, "oh, wow, they went in the right door that will eventually go to the ossuary, good. They just have to find the other staircase out of the catacombs and they'll practically be there." Then they said they want to backtrack to where the brazier used to be, then I thought, "welp, at least Diath is no longer a teenage zombified people eater"
MooMachine90 It wouldn’t have been so difficult if Paultin had someone portraying his character property. With a 14 intelligence he shouldn’t be some lame.
Maybe this is just because I am binge-watching, so I don't get a week between episodes to forget everything, but I'm perpetually surprised at how often Chris has to re-iterate plot points that have just been forgotten. ;) I guess kudos to Chris for keeping track of everything, including things he told the party half a year previously.
Myn Anthony Just realized that comment could've really easily been read as sarcastic, but it was sincere. The pure dedication to this RUclips comment displayed deserves props, even if it's to something as stupid as a youtube comment. Dedication to stupid things is always amusing, and I'm a perfectionist myself. You're right, if I was being sarcastic, it would be hypocritical because I took the time to actually count the amount of times this guy typed "na."
Being Diath is just constant short stick. Every time they see Diath: short stick short stick Short Stick SHort STick SHORT STICK SHORT STICK SHORT STICK!!!!!!!
madhippy3 after a while they get tired of hearing about junk armor, junk weapons, crappy boots. Once they have decent gear and plenty of coin there’s less of a point to looting the dead
@@TrackerRoo I cannot comprehend. All that sounds extraordinarily lootable. I want those boots in particular. Maybe dash some salt on them and boil them for some sweet eats. Also should be pointed out this was no mook. If you tired of looting the minions thats one thing, but not looting someone with importance is a shame.
Game Time with Professor John I can't help but wonder if that was an intentional joke/callback by Chris or just a hold over from the original adventure.
I didn't notice until just now that in the "I want to play" intro song, the actors' names show up under the dolls that represent them, that's really clever. Also, damn, how many episodes went by before I noticed that? XD
You really have to admire Anna continuing to be a model party-positive player even in the face of all the "Shut up Evelyn," the "No I won't help, I want to be better than you," the "You're an idiot Evelyn," the "I hate you Evelyn," and the ubiquitous violations of her character's convictions. Go Anna!
I love watching them speak without moving their lips and speak in each other's voices! Seriously when it first glitched it threw me off so much :P Then I just couldn't stop laughing.
He made a deal with the Dark Powers of the Shadowfell...unless they use a cheap cop-out,or Diath has like, god-level amounts of willpower,it's almost guaranteed. Edit: Thought you were talking about Diath, my bad.
I really, really, really should have been more patient - I've been trying to watch the archived Twitch video of the finale. So far a less-than 3 hour video has taken nearly 5 hours to watch. I'm 50 minutes in. Urgh!
Super late to the party but if Diath had stayed undead he would have had a HUGE advantage in any fights against other undead, especially say... vampires. Can't life-drain something that's already undead!
Floor Abbestee I don't know, what is going on I saw a bit of the livestream, but I was late, so I decided to watch it later. For somerason tho its missing.
Why can't Paultin just tell them that he got kidnapped by Strahd, locked up in the dungeon, then escaped with Esmerelda's help, and that's why he knows his way around? No need to mention the whole... betrayal part. Besides, it was just a bluff, wasn't it?
@@bignumbers I'm pretty sure the game stats are just there for checks and saving throws. I don't think the character should always need to reflect them perfectly. Plus the most common method of determining these stats is rolling for them so that 19 would've had to have gone somewhere. I also wouldn't criticize too much. It is just a game after all /gen
ThatTattooedKid not 100% sure, just guessing. I would assume that because the series was created in partnership with nerdist.(the other shows being on nerdist channel) When they live streamed and saved the "lost"(live) episode it here on this channel it was automatically flagged but either RUclips or some Nerdist people and after sometime some calls were made and the copyright flag was manually removed.

This was last week's episode, right?
yep
Avossk are they doing it on Wednesday instead of Tuesday or is this a time zone thing I'm not immediately catching?
They specifically said Wednesday in chat so yes its Wednesday
Where can I get access to it!?

Technically, if they had 1000gp diamond he could have resurrected saint markovia
You forgot he also had his ass handed to him by a broom.
*Nervously looking at the history of diaths ranged attack history*
Sad because Diath has taken more decisive action without being handheld by the DM. The characters who hang back receive much safer treatment. Ah, Barovia is a beautiful yet brutal land.
"are you with us paultin?" " yes I am with you (here)" I mean, he didn't lie, but I think they put too much faith in zone of truth
@@thefracturedbutwhole5475 It states in the spell you can be glib and cunning so wordplay is allowed essentially politiking would not set the spell against the speaker
They should have listened to Marty. Being tied to each other, iron spikes to jam doors, even the 10ft pole would have saved them from traps.
"Are you the bat-king?"
"Well, both my parents are dead, so..."
I just passed that part and it took seeing this comment to get that joke.
Well if we think about it, his parents were murdered, found the guy after he became strong, chose not to kill him and sent him to live in a heavily secured facility with the mentally handicapped...
Foreshadowing!
I love the way he spitefully says “Perkins” every time he tries to check for traps or something.
The cut off at the end was one of the funniest parts. I spit out a mouthful of water when anna said she smothered Paultin.
Thinking back to all of this series... diath has been through a lot xD
Surprise guest: the back of Ross O' Donovan's head.
GrimSolaris when?
It took me so long to realize the dolls in the begining intro are of the players and their characters respectively xD Thats freaking cool stuff
Where are the dolls of the players? I only see dolls of Strix, Diath, Evelyn, and Paultin, in that order.
That's what I meant, sorry, I realize I was a tad unclear :P
Nah, it's cool! I was just hoping to see a little Holly doll or a Jared doll
Hoo boy. Diath's has a noose.
Make a Dexterity check to look super cool
The most common Dex check in my games. :)
A 10ft pole could've had some use 20min in.
Nate is with you physically. He did not lie
I'm not doing a line of Markovia! Best line ever!
"Er, you could stop with the screaming voi-"-"NO!" I like Strix. :D
Paultin really should have gone and started playing Phantom of the Opera on the organ
Rachael Dodson HE SHOULD'VE
i honestly thought diath was going to either explode or just keel over dead with health potion over his face.
Evelyn (basically): Wanna snort the dead body's blessed ashes?
I waited so long for this! Thanks! Because I live in Belgium it is hard to have the time to watch streams at the time they are streamed, so I really appreciate these uploads. Love holly to bits and chris, jared, nate and anna! I don't really want this to ever stop haha
Aha, a fellow Belgian! Flemish or Walloon?
Pieter Dutch here, not about to stay up till four on a school night either.
Flemish! What about you guys?
+Pieter Flemish as well, from Mechelen:)
Haha, zalig! Kortrijk hier!
Teiflings are always collecting Saint remains for their diabolical rituals
I myself have used them to make a Goddess Shield and a Sun Crown
I'm almost completely caught up now, sorry for being so late. I was thinking, "oh, wow, they went in the right door that will eventually go to the ossuary, good. They just have to find the other staircase out of the catacombs and they'll practically be there." Then they said they want to backtrack to where the brazier used to be, then I thought, "welp, at least Diath is no longer a teenage zombified people eater"
If they needed to get rid of asssemear's body just get diath to eat it
i honestly thought he was going to thunder wave them
A whole episode of our adventurers trying to get to the Bone Zone
MooMachine90 It wouldn’t have been so difficult if Paultin had someone portraying his character property. With a 14 intelligence he shouldn’t be some lame.
Diath's healing immediately made me think of Spirited Away.
Heart of sorrow-sounds like national anthem of Barovia
Nate's face at 1:20:23 just screams "Well shit, I wasn't expecting that to work."
40:12 - 40:32 oh no! I wasn't expecting Diath Feels ;-;
Maybe this is just because I am binge-watching, so I don't get a week between episodes to forget everything, but I'm perpetually surprised at how often Chris has to re-iterate plot points that have just been forgotten. ;)
I guess kudos to Chris for keeping track of everything, including things he told the party half a year previously.
Anyone get the sneaking suspicion that Diath and Strix are the only people who understand the weight of the situation?
Shoulda used a 10-foot pole. :)
Soon as saying stop to the bats work watch Diath's face of suspicion its hilarious!! 1:20:52
58:10 "I am not doing a line of Markovia!!"
I CANT BELIEVE THAT WORKED
Which part? Diath drinking Saint Markovia's remains? Paultin telling the bats to go away?
I like to imagine at the end where the video is completely unsynced with the audio, they’re just talking to each other with Xavier powers.
That moment where he was cured was so awesome. Thanks Strix.
Every time they mention the organ playing, I imagine they're playing "Bloody Tears" from Castlevania.
nanananananananananananananana Paultin! Paultin! Paultin!
Ben English You actually took the time to make sure you typed the correct amount of "na"s.
Bravo
NamesAreOverrated - And you actually took the time to count them, bravo to you too.

The demon what? Chris Perkins, the demon WHAT?!??!
I am glad this episode turned out how it did!
"I am not doing a line of Markovia."
Season finale tomorrow I'm not mentally prepared
But then again edited commentary is back and 'mysterious commentator' is my favourite character.
Wow, Strix sure is good at magic!
Strahd: It's over, Waffle Crew! I have the high ground!
Being Diath is just constant short stick.
Every time they see Diath: short stick short stick Short Stick SHort STick SHORT STICK SHORT STICK SHORT STICK!!!!!!!
WTF It did like the sopranos and cut off mid sente
you crazy crazy kid
Some commenters just want to watch the world burn.
What is he talking about I don't ge
Does Evelyn not remember what happens to the dead in Barovia?
I just wish someone would give Diath a magic weapon...like maybe Treefall
This is totally my recent reduction in antidepressant intake speaking, but the Diath story is making me cry.
The season finale tomorrow will be the best birthday present ever!
Kassidy Worthington Happy Birthday :) Roll a d20 for Happiness
J Dreyer Thank you 😃
J Dreyer :'( 3
Kassidy Worthington I do declare! finally no more Evelin southern Belle voice! wooooooo!
I have never been so happy watching this before CONGRATS DIATH
I love how they killed a very important, powerful character, and completely failed to loot him.
Not every party is about looting the dead.
@@TrackerRoo The most resourceful parties do.
madhippy3 after a while they get tired of hearing about junk armor, junk weapons, crappy boots. Once they have decent gear and plenty of coin there’s less of a point to looting the dead
@@TrackerRoo I cannot comprehend. All that sounds extraordinarily lootable.
I want those boots in particular. Maybe dash some salt on them and boil them for some sweet eats.
Also should be pointed out this was no mook. If you tired of looting the minions thats one thing, but not looting someone with importance is a shame.
Love how strix thinking about the bone church in irl and not a tomb where you place bones.
Poor Jared ^^" He's so paranoid now because of the brooms and the wagon... looking for traps where no one are to find xD
40:30 Diath got real
"Catacombs with the bats."
More like "Batacombs"
Huh, Strix's hair-brained scheme actually worked.
Paultin is Bat-Bard!
They should have named this episode “catacomb crashers”
noooo, where is Mordenkainen??
He warned them about getting a rope and a ten foot pole!
Evandill Yes!!! His advice would have come in handy in exactly the circumstance they encountered!
Game Time with Professor John I can't help but wonder if that was an intentional joke/callback by Chris or just a hold over from the original adventure.
Axel Cezar Somewhere else inside the castle breaking someone else's heart 😀
I didn't notice until just now that in the "I want to play" intro song, the actors' names show up under the dolls that represent them, that's really clever.
Also, damn, how many episodes went by before I noticed that? XD
I am the KING OF BATS!!!!!!!!!
nana nana nana nana Paultin!!!
Hailey K the Bat Man if you will lol
You really have to admire Anna continuing to be a model party-positive player even in the face of all the "Shut up Evelyn," the "No I won't help, I want to be better than you," the "You're an idiot Evelyn," the "I hate you Evelyn," and the ubiquitous violations of her character's convictions. Go Anna!
21:20 editor guy is back!!!
58:02
Snorting a line of st. Marcovia! That would be a sight to see
This was,, a literal fucking exorcism and I love it
So they did not loot the right hand of the master vampire?... 😑
When she said by the hood, that doll should've gone flying.
Best cure ever!
I love watching them speak without moving their lips and speak in each other's voices! Seriously when it first glitched it threw me off so much :P Then I just couldn't stop laughing.
Wow an exercism in a bottle,good work Holly.
Please Paultin, be evil! be evil lol
cody beaird And I'm over here like "Please don't be evil. Please don't be evil!"
He made a deal with the Dark Powers of the Shadowfell...unless they use a cheap cop-out,or Diath has like, god-level amounts of willpower,it's almost guaranteed.
Edit: Thought you were talking about Diath, my bad.
I got milk and cookies just for this, but the milk spoiled.
Praise Saint Marokiva!
Why is Chris so mean to Jared?
Jaikthesnake he's the most experienced player and the most likely to handle the abuse. I'm not sure that's the reason but it does seem likely
Because Jared is hard core and has the best reactions to his inevitable failures. Jared’s a big boy. He can handle it.
43:25 Mordenkainen would have been hammering iron spikes into things right about now
13:50 Calling it now, an enemy will wonder why they don't hear the screams
I hope watch the finale.
Shoutout to Saint Markovia and Strix’s brewing skills
Started buffering at 1:03:10 .
I can't stop laughing
58:20 one of the best moments of the series
Saint Murakuba is legit. Lol

Super late to the party but if Diath had stayed undead he would have had a HUGE advantage in any fights against other undead, especially say... vampires. Can't life-drain something that's already undead!
Dude, Jared can not catch a break. He's like a sad punching bag at this point. And so undeserved. Jesus.
does episode 31 pick up where this leaves off?
it certainly does
Thanks for clarifying
This part is missing from the playlist for some reason.
Noooo...... The end of the stream broke :(
What time does Paultin play the organ?
Stop insulting Nate and Anna. Sure, they're not perfect but it doesn't mean you have to be rude.
FR people are just so rude
This episode is not in the playlist as far as I can tell.
Does anyone know what happened to the next part?
they're always late with uploading the streams. But i kind of need them to do it because the internet is like a spoiler minefield.
Floor Abbestee There is no twitch vod even
how did it never occurred to me to look there? anyway that's weird
Floor Abbestee I don't know, what is going on I saw a bit of the livestream, but I was late, so I decided to watch it later. For somerason tho its missing.

It's hard to communicate that using the phrases "huh", "that's fair", "not with that attitude" and "what are we doing?"
