I'm loving all their plans. I love Corazon with the speed dating plan, but then came Egbert with the extortionate prices plan and I absolutely love it. Egbert being peaceful with his solution is some both surprising and also not surprising. I fully thought Prudence was starting a massive fight and I did let out an "oh sh*t" when she summoned a greater demon. It does make sense that she wouldn't try to fight them all even with a Shadow Demon. I also love Dob's speech and method for inspiring his group to run off to a non-existent dragon hoard.

Yay Prudence used her greater demon spell...properly. This episode is great Corazon charms the lovers, Egbert emplys 100 barmen and Prudence goes murdering, i love it
Okay but "This is the Way in Which (Thou Recallest to My Mind)" is exactly the kind of needlessly verbose, redundant nonsense that has a direct line to my funnybone

When Chadsworth Croaker started freaking out from the heat metal bit, my first thought was that it was gonna be a Total Recall reference, "Come on Cohagen, give these people air!". Since that bit, I was trying to figure out the Schwarzenegger references every time he showed up.

@@echoofangels1 Help has arrived! Bob was an NPC that the characters took on a dungeon dive at the end of season 2 or beginning of season 3 and then abandoned to start another adventure. He was there for maybe a couple of episodes… and one of the five mentioned this was his villain origin story. 😎
Imagine if instead of tossing all their money into a lake, they had it stored on the Joyful Damnation and were able to buy all the quest-reward gear from the unit Dob took care of.
Also it would've been fun to see Dob form that group into parties of 5 to start their own questing guilds if all they wanted was friends. Plus they'd have a leg-up on normal starting D&D parties since they all have some higher-level gear. (They could even have been used for Oxventure One-Shots).
Someone please tell Corazon that you don't float into space at the end of the atmosphere. You need to reach escape velocity. Gravity doesn't just stop, it tapers off in proportion to distance squared. It's not the atmosphere that pulls you down, it's gravity. How does he think satellites work? What does he think the moon is doing? Why would things orbit if they weren't pulled toward each other? They'd just go off on straight lines! Is he a flat earther or something?!
Idk.why the oxventure guild always forget that they have a 61 strong army of the undead that’s literally immortal that they can use to take on armies. 100 strong battalions lure them all into a kill zone manned by 20 skeletons and then build some catapults and hit them with artillery for the ones on the permitter while the other 41 skeletons flank them from the rear. And that’s not even using the combat abilities of the guild. That’s just skeletons vs what I can assume is a poorly armed untrained militia of farmers and yokels.
It's not that they forget, it's about a battle like that being entertaining for the ones playing it but not as much for the people watching. Or not as entertaining as the kind of things the Oxventurers come up with, I think.
Same reason they didn't just write in the magic book that Egbert has his kidney back and Lillian is dead. It would ruin the experience. The skeletons are a running joke as this point where they have an immortal army but use it for menial tasks like sailing the ship.
Another terrible job solving the problem like usual! Only like 5 bards died due to their actions and probably many more in the future when the one time adventurers figure out they've been had by a bard and the druid gnome figures out they killed her grandfather.

Katie furiously unscrewing her pearl head to stare indignantly at the oxventurers was an excellent bit of acting on Johnny's part
Romance hero swashbuckler Corazon taking on the battalion of spurned lovers was absolute GOLD

"NNNINE GOLD PIECES?!" is my fave quote here XD
My favourite is when Prudence says, "As soon as I am 250 feet out, I nail two of them with an Eldritch Spear."
Wow, "meat discs inside of a doughy pillow" is a FANTASTIC callback.
I swear I love prudence...I walk exactly 250 feet away and nail two with a eldrich spear😂😂😂😂😂

You know what I realized 95% of DND games are just Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Or more accurately, Monty Python and the holy grail was just a dnd game
Cheese it is almost as legendary as "RUN AWAY!"
@@aramanon Well, they are basically the same thing. "CHEESE IT!" just has one less syllable. The only thing shorter would just be to shout "RUN!"
Only 95%
@@Xenophaige_readsthe last 5% are Lord of the Rings.

They should call Corazon's music "Geth Metal"
I have to Egbert credit where it is due as someone who has gone in without out a plan several times this one worked wonderfully.
Johnny's Nickelback joke was really excellent.
I wish hengist was mentioned because they picked him up for 1 adventure then left and bob
26:49
Did Luke base "Corazon, O Corazon" on an existing song, *or did Andy learn the chords to the song about his own DND character*
I think Andy wrote it
@@pinkcowqueenThis is correct.

Radgar the dragonslayer (or is it tamer) slays me every time ^.^ Thanks for all the great oxventures!!
Sounds like something a dragon would say...
I have decided that bards actually are lawful, it's just their only law is 'Do not stop drum circles'.
Original Air Date: Mar 9, 2022
If Merilwen had been there we surely would have gotten a bisque-us throw pun.

The discussion starting at 1:09:35 definitely makes more sense given what Dob did at his wedding...
It starts at 2:44
Haven't seen the wedding episode yet. Who else is betting Katie Pearlhead's giving Dob a love potion
I haven't either. I was way behind and I'm working on catching up.
They already did detect magic in a previous episode. Would a potion not show up?
@@nobodyfamousX No spoilers because I have seen the wedding episode, but I believe that they were unable to cast detect magic due to Prudence losing her magic. However, Merilwen did cast Dispel Magic and nothing happened
Nope Dobs just stupid
hammered cow in a bread box
i will mention that there is a band called Austrian Death Machine and i imagine Croaker being its lead vocal.
I could have sworn Austrian death machine killed himself back in the 40s
Bob did come back as a villain!😳
I forgot who Bob was, help!

"Hammered Meatballs", that makes it sound like they're alcoholic... But as it's Bardcon, that is entirely possible.

Wait, so is the implication that Katie poisoned Merilwen so she could take her place at Bardcon? 😅
This is perhaps my fourth re-watch of this episode and I only JUST got the Nickleback reference 🤦🏻♀ I'm so disappointed in myself
No need to feel bad, I wouldn't have gotten it without this comment :V
Same here 😂 only got it from the song name
Thank you! I spent a solid 5 min on google before resorting to the comments looking for someone to point out the obvious to me. 😂
Prudence: Anyways, I just started shooting
1:37:25 4 mph is a very fast walk, average is closer to 2.5, but 4 mph is very doable for a jog.
Bards save lives by casting sleep. 😂 otherwise their rest will be eternal.
1:21:32 this is getting a little too real
I would kill to go on a quest with these guys lol
Presumably someone got to do that!

Was that a Nickelback joke this whole time? I didn't catch it till almost the last literal second.

@@loading9110 you also don’t want to trust the evil monkeys-paw skeletons with anything that you don’t want people to die during.
There's also the fact that Johnny none too subtly hinted that the skeletons shouldn't be used often - cursed consequences for calling them
