Lucius... why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night I feel my arm and my eye... The flight I lost... The high passive perception I've lost... It wont stop hurting. It's like they're all still there.
HOLY GOD THE DRAMA. I really like the pacing of this campaign . Its REALLY high, intence and incredibly dangerous, followed by relaxed then out of left feild full swing again. Nicly done Mark and to all the players I love how you guys are handleing it all
just discovered this, and honestly it's a refreshing change from critical role. I love how Mercer does his DMing, but overall he tends to be very forgiving - you generally know that the party will come out on top, Hulmes on the other hand, he's brutally impartial, and it opens the way for these amazing encounters where there's a genuine chance for a TPK, and damn that's engaging.
I really like this sort of RP they are doing, the lack of meta gaming is very new and interesting to me to sell their characters. Many seem to be annoyed because of their actions, but they are being their characters and not meta gaming it like so many others do. It's refreshing and inspiring to see for my part, only been doing d&d for a year, so this is a whole new experience. I know I'm commenting three years late, but I feel it need to be said to the High Rollers peps. Some people are just min maxers and meta gaming through and through like a power fantasy and less focus on RP. Great stories are about characters and so far, oh my goodness it's good. Will continue to watch it all!
This is the saddest episode they all lost something Sentry lost echo Lucius broke his leg Quill lost his eye And nova lost her confidence It's sad but after all that they are still determined to find valla (I think that's how you spell it) and when you picture it in your head its beautiful and sad
@@gabijota11 if there were others around they could have healed or helped the goliath. It makes a bit of sense, but the mechanics aren't really built to have enemies taking death saving throws
Tosh Omni I agree with the eye but he actually said in character that he wasn’t sure if he should get it back even if he wants to not yet at least because he doesn’t know why it happened or if there even was a reason.
My heart broke two times: once when Lucius reached out for Qill when he was down and a second time when Nova hugged them both crying. I'm probably very late joining in and watching this but I love these guys so much ;-; P.S. Lucius as character grew so much
For those interested, Xander's guide to everything has a list of suggestions for common magic items. Most of them replicate a cantrip that can only affect them self, ie there's a Rope of Mending if it's cut simple put the pieces near each other and they'll mend themselves. There is also a magical atunable artificial eye, function like a normal eye when attuned to. Magical focus for each spellcaster type and a item that turns mundane items into spell focus for anyone attuned to it. Really recommend getting the book. To the point maybe nova will discover clues pointing to an old forgotten magic item forge, that has long since lost the capability to build anything more then common magic items. Not that stronger items could be made if they wanted since the instructions for other items are heavily incrypted and missing large sections as th pages detailing them have long since aged to dust
Steven Beagle No, it should also be the players job to remind him the rules if he forgets and they know. If a player can remind the DM about say, the additional damage from Melf’s Acid Arrow, why can’t the player also remind the DM about the injury table. The game isn’t about beating the DM or vice versa, it’s about having fun, and people using the DM’s forgetfulness against them to cheat isn’t fun
OMG - just hit the hour mark and qill's injury roll! The players reactions are amazing and Mark's casual "right, moving on to the next attack" attitude was hilarious! I love this series
Kim says they've found someone dumber than Lucius, which fair enough it is true, but I'd just like to take a moment to point out that technically both Aila (9) and Sentry (8) have lower intelligence than Lucius (11). Lucius just has a lot of gaps in his knowledge since he's in an environment that's totally foreign to him.
Yeah, technically, Lucius is more naive than dumb. He just hasn't experienced the "real world". In many ways, the same could be said about Luna. She has read of some of these things, but her actual experiences are few.
@@animalunleashed3812 This was a year ago, so sorry for the ping lmao, but also to add onto this, Lucius is actually pretty smart - all his out of his element naivety aside, he's extremely emotionally intelligent too. But one example is in how he basically socially forced Brett into donating to the charity, everyone was hushing him and stuff but the way he handled that was actually very smart for the sudden drop in. They knew he was someone to 'stay away from' and he only showed face once they were in a threatening position for him - good standing with the town, I mean, who came BACK from the chasm and had the secrets of down there. Everyone was on edge but I have no doubt Lucius has seen these social games a lot. He put him in a position where his pride would be damaged and his mask would slip if he didn't put some of his precious wealth into the fund to actually help the village, all while staying genuine as Lucius and not conniving. It was like a kindness slap.
I just reached the break and fuck me, I knew watching this at work would be a bad idea. I'm just sat in my corner, tearing up. Think it was Nova's reaction that did it for me.
As sad as it is that *that* happened, I’m not all that surprised. Playing an Aarakokra(?) with an inability to fly is a very brave move and I respect Tom for that but, seeing as flight is a big part of his race, it was inevitable that something would go wrong at some point.
From what I've seen of 5e the way Injury Table rolls are called for made it inevitable that something would go wrong. This isn't a slight against Mark, it just seems PCs going down regularly is almost expected by the system.
Yeah, giving up flight as Aarakocra is really REALLY ballsy, but at the same time it does give the character a more developed feel. Also I'm FAIRLY certain that if Tom didn't want to lose the arm, Mark would've probably said no to playing one. I mean being stranded in the middle of nowhere suddenly loses all meaning when you've got a party member who can literally scout ahead without worry or just fly to the nearest sky city and request help.
Xiuhnan I idk you can get around that easily. So he wants to scout in the air? In an area full of wild elf archers? Yaaaa. Ok he gets to the city now he’s their alone, the party’s down one member while being attacked and there’s no guarantee he will find them in a thick winter forest when he goes back. Banning a race simply for a racial feat is kinda like say he isn’t a good enough dm to plan for player choice.
Honestly, flight as a racial feat is pretty overpowered for the first five levels or so. Not that it's impossible to deal with, but, well there's a reason it's not allowed in Adventure's League.
Oh how sad, I didn't realize echo was an actual killable thing. I thought it was like some sort of spirit or spell kind of like a familiar that she could call back at will.
29:20 “Same with the studs on his leather armor...it’s not quite enough (metal for heat metal to have effect)” Studded leather armor is like legitimately almost entirely metal. Those studs on the outside of the leather are just how the hundreds of metal plates that make studded leather are pieced together, lol it’s not just studs like on a punk jacket.
I'd say it's more for balance. Heat metal is more intended for like splint and plate mail that would be hard to hit outside of forcing saving throws. Also I guess it could be ruled as unseen metal cants be targeted 🤷♂️
Great episode! Very harsh but it was more a series of bad rolls and only a couple of bad tactics. Hopefully the players and characters both learn to be more aggressive, not run in the wrong situation, always heal the downed healer first and better tactics in general. But hey that's how we all learn! It's a great character growth moment for the whole group. I hope they continue to get better and better these trials tend to bring people closer together as a group! As well there are artificial eyes, and high level restoration magic to save towards. Maybe now they won't be too insanely generous and save their money as they will NEED for better gear items and healing! I mean donate some... but really they are going into battle and risking their lives and magic gear and healing is expensive! The better gear and healthier THEY are the better they will be to go fight and save others in danger (rather than just throwing money at problems). Those injury tables are rough but add drama! Great DMing and RP. Looking forward to the next episode, happily this campaign gets better and better! I'll keep watching so I can catch up and have the option to watch live!
Just want to say ... this is some seriously good stuff. You guys are amazing. Like wow. Great combat and experience. Just loving this. Totally into this: very wrapped up in the characters: thank you.
Oh my gosh what a rollercoaster of emotions this episode was! Only now I've realised how much I've become attached to the characters. I really enjoyed but also feared that combat encounter! Spoilers (over 2 years after this came out lol): Two characters almost dying, Qill losing an eye, the emotional aftermath and discovery of Brookstone's involvement in the kidnapping of Valla, the really heartwarming encounter with the dryad... Just Qill and Lucius going down besides each other, Quill losing an eye and later on in this episode barely talking about it really got to me. As well as Nova feeling responsible for it all where she really shouldn't.
Think the group's theme song should be along the lines of "we get knocked down, but we get up again. You any ever gonna keep us down" Spoilers alert Drama overload. Near party kill, which becomes an under dog or should I say under bird victory at a high price.
I used to cast good berry, but just use it in combat to heal downed allies I had cure wounds, and healing word, but I just loved the comedy of a 1 hp Dragonborn paladin fighting 12+ goblin
At around 1 hour... Sitting here, biting my nails off, and not so secretly hoping the scream from my head somehow ripples across time and worlds to Sentry's head: "Please, please, please, laser that sob all the way to the sky cities!!"
Honestly, I figured someone had paid him to keep them busy for the evening. I figured he was just incredibly unscrupulous and didn't bother asking any questions. I didn't think he was that far in on it. I figured he was just an accessory.
Might be Smith or someone else like that. Matt is going to be super busy with signings and doing his own thing at the con. But hey, there's always a chance!
@@the1asianpersuasion Its always possible, but Kim did imply it would be someone from Critical Role, and Mark guested on their show back at the beginning of summer I think, so it would make sense.
I'm new to 5e just playing a tinker gnome wizard and on a one-shot, a halfling sorcerer but my automatic reaction/thought was to retrieve Quill's eyeball and mend it. Not sure if that would work but I'd give it a go. I'm enjoying hearing the different interesting decisions. Love the roll playing.
Deanne Kellogg no no that’s not how mend works. Seriously for fixing a body part they have special healing spells (heal major/minor injury) but that’s kinda critical with may need a full regeneration spell.
Yeah, and if you notice, Mark is basically, as he often does, telling her to use it as he perfectly lines up the two Brownstone kids and plant creature all in a line.
You’d think mark would show SOME mercy since they are technically down a player, as long as he lets them get echo back I can forgive the cruelty but only then!!!
I really like the injury table, I think it gives players and characters more of a backstory, but in my opinion it shouldn't be AS devastating. Rolling a natural 1 should have serious repercussions (like gouged eye, amputated arm/leg...), but a 2, 3, 4 or 5 should only be things like broken bones or torn tissue. I think as it currently stands having an injury table this powerful (with only about 50% of not getting an injury) just might be TOO powerful.
I mean.... that is what the table currently is. ;) Most of the results are temporary problems, with 1-5 being things like broken limbs etc. Keep in mind, for all the checks we've made we've only had 2 injuries because the DC is quite low in most cases.
I really like it honestly, considering that the only people in this campaign that are really like, used to fighting are Aila and Sentry. Nova's just a nerd who found a sword. Quill was a recently injured messenger. Lucius was a rich elf raised in luxury and security. The only reason theyre in this adventure is because they were unfortunate enough to have been in a crashing airship. Compared to Jiutou, Trell, Cam, Reynard and Elora, who were a rebel slave-turned monk, a criminal drow warlock, a rogue-ish gypsy running from his past, an aspiring hunter looking for kills, and a druid princess with a background of feywild fighting (respectively), this party is mostly just a bunch of civilians. So It feels really organic that the freakouts are often, and made way for some amazing character development following their first engagement (the wild elves). But already we can see them growing as adventurers I think its all cause theyre really getting a good feel for their characters, and the fact that Mark's setting really brings out the power in the party's dynamic. But thats my opinion
Ha me too. it's so hypocritical because I do nothing but criticize everything they do and yet all seen all of Campaign 1, dead reckoning, and uncharted territory
Timezones are brutal. Ao badly do I wish I could be watching live. As a dragonborn who might lose an eye, limb, or more. The loss of an eye and leg is quite a hardship. Also, I have been looking at the dms guild weekly, hoping to see and maybe bring to the dm of our group the injury table that is used. Or even to have something handy for possible deployment to make things interesting.
According to massive damage rules lucius should be dead at 59 minutes. After being left at 3 hit points after the last round of combat taking 16 damage (19 hp total) the next attack dealt a total of 23 damage which would've meant - 20 hp. greater than total=death
Holy shit....... Oh my god.. I can breath.. Mark.. your a fucking gangster !! So hardcore, I couldn’t handle waiting a week for the next one soooo happy I can binge ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I know yall are in the UK, but listen. And elk that size is not an elk. That is a Moose. Moose, I tell you. They are known as megafauna for a reason. Large sized creature is right, a moose could wrek your car and not have a scratch on them.

Tom really had me fooled sometimes. A thought he just had one arm. It's amazing, that he is able to just turn it off for the session.
Wow, just love seeing Rhiannon experience and react to Quills losing his eye. She seems so genuinely moved. Everyone did a great job RP!
She protec
She attac
But most importantly...
*She want Echo back*
Also I feel like that's a little bit soon..

This is the saddest episode they all lost something
Sentry lost echo
Lucius broke his leg
Quill lost his eye
And nova lost her confidence
It's sad but after all that they are still determined to find valla (I think that's how you spell it) and when you picture it in your head its beautiful and sad
I think of more like valaa
meanwhile ive just started the episode and seen this spoiler
@@tamileske5955 it's not like anyone died you'll be fine
I like how mark is including death saves for enemies.
He said he would for npc's that are meant to be like a nemasis
He said that he would for npcs who are supposed to be reoccurring villains
@@JackLaserWing not really reoccurring when dead are they?
@@gabijota11 if there were others around they could have healed or helped the goliath. It makes a bit of sense, but the mechanics aren't really built to have enemies taking death saving throws
That is why my PC always dead check his enemies after a battle.
Think about it this way: now Quill can get an eyepatch, which should give him enough bonus charisma to make up for the loss of perception.
It is getting kind of absurd. They need to get him to a cleric who can regenerate his eye and wing as soon as possible.

I agree with the eye but he actually said in character that he wasn’t sure if he should get it back even if he wants to not yet at least because he doesn’t know why it happened or if there even was a reason.
Bro spoilers. Comments pop up first yeesh
I loved how epic Quill was there for a moment when he was intimidating them and shooting the pistol.

For those interested, Xander's guide to everything has a list of suggestions for common magic items. Most of them replicate a cantrip that can only affect them self, ie there's a Rope of Mending if it's cut simple put the pieces near each other and they'll mend themselves.

Magical focus for each spellcaster type and a item that turns mundane items into spell focus for anyone attuned to it. Really recommend getting the book.

Bring tissues.
Uh oh. I'm worried now lol
You get to the tissues required part yet?

Tell Tom to not give in to despair, tell him to ask Mark about something called Ersatz Eye.
Left arm? Right eye? Im calling it now. Quill is Vecna 😜
Vecna lost his left eye, not his right.
He is reversed. Ancev
I just reached the break and fuck me, I knew watching this at work would be a bad idea. I'm just sat in my corner, tearing up. Think it was Nova's reaction that did it for me.
Everyone always forgets death saves are at the beginning of the characters turn
Brutal! Loved that fight. There should always be more consequences in D&D fights in my opinion
The simplified unconscious/death saving throw system in 5e is super light on consequences. The Pathfinder system is much better
My favorite quote so far: what do mortals eat

Is the mysterious mister Mercer going to guest on the show? We can see him play a character? This may be epic.
Might be Smith or someone else like that. Matt is going to be super busy with signings and doing his own thing at the con. But hey, there's always a chance!
@@the1asianpersuasion Its always possible, but Kim did imply it would be someone from Critical Role, and Mark guested on their show back at the beginning of summer I think, so it would make sense.
@@silberhornj im hoping for either sam or liam, theyre my favorites
Mark is such a mean DM.
I'm new to 5e just playing a tinker gnome wizard and on a one-shot, a halfling sorcerer but my automatic reaction/thought was to retrieve Quill's eyeball and mend it. Not sure if that would work but I'd give it a go.
I'm enjoying hearing the different interesting decisions. Love the roll playing.
Deanne Kellogg no no that’s not how mend works. Seriously for fixing a body part they have special healing spells (heal major/minor injury) but that’s kinda critical with may need a full regeneration spell.
Just realized sentry never used her badass laser....
Jake Martin oh yeah wtf
she used it twice in the chasm
Yeah, and if you notice, Mark is basically, as he often does, telling her to use it as he perfectly lines up the two Brownstone kids and plant creature all in a line.
@@animalunleashed3812 my comment was from 3 years ago holy crap lol time flies
@@Smaglefop Just found the series about 3 days ago. :)
I can’t wait for what will happen to B.B.
Qillek has the eye of Horus now
Doesn't quill have lv2 life cleric with channel divinity or is he more of a bardy bird
1:56:50 is still probably one of my favourite parts
Me just yelling the entire battle: "Sentry use your laser!"
In the forest?
You’d think mark would show SOME mercy since they are technically down a player, as long as he lets them get echo back I can forgive the cruelty but only then!!!
Considering the goliath could easily have killed at least two of them if he had kept attacking them when down there was plenty of mercy given.
@@toshomni9478 He could, but not if he wanted to live, the others are still threats afterall.
Plus is heavely implied that he thought quill was dead
Lucias has died in almost every combat from the first episode 😂😂😂
Getting divinity vibes from poor Sentry having to constantly use most of her turn chasing down a teleporting enemy 😂😂
I am so glad that that burp stayed in :D
I really like the injury table, I think it gives players and characters more of a backstory, but in my opinion it shouldn't be AS devastating. Rolling a natural 1 should have serious repercussions (like gouged eye, amputated arm/leg...), but a 2, 3, 4 or 5 should only be things like broken bones or torn tissue. I think as it currently stands having an injury table this powerful (with only about 50% of not getting an injury) just might be TOO powerful.
I mean.... that is what the table currently is. ;) Most of the results are temporary problems, with 1-5 being things like broken limbs etc. Keep in mind, for all the checks we've made we've only had 2 injuries because the DC is quite low in most cases.
@@HighRollersDnD That is true... I'm not caught up yet so I guess I'm just fearful of what might happen.
And thus Qillek "Punished Birdie" was created
The tree lady said she could give lucius a wooden leg hmmmm..
Aracorcra has wooden arm?
when 75% of your adventuring party are soft babies
More like %60 cause Aila but in this case yeah....
I really like it honestly, considering that the only people in this campaign that are really like, used to fighting are Aila and Sentry.
Nova's just a nerd who found a sword. Quill was a recently injured messenger. Lucius was a rich elf raised in luxury and security. The only reason theyre in this adventure is because they were unfortunate enough to have been in a crashing airship.
Compared to Jiutou, Trell, Cam, Reynard and Elora, who were a rebel slave-turned monk, a criminal drow warlock, a rogue-ish gypsy running from his past, an aspiring hunter looking for kills, and a druid princess with a background of feywild fighting (respectively), this party is mostly just a bunch of civilians.
So It feels really organic that the freakouts are often, and made way for some amazing character development following their first engagement (the wild elves). But already we can see them growing as adventurers
I think its all cause theyre really getting a good feel for their characters, and the fact that Mark's setting really brings out the power in the party's dynamic.
But thats my opinion
@@midnightproductions3442 yeah but this is also the same party that screamed " no survivors!!" and killed all the elves
@@TortillaBill makes it all the more flavourful...? I guess? Hahahahaha idk man I just really like this series
Ha me too. it's so hypocritical because I do nothing but criticize everything they do and yet all seen all of Campaign 1, dead reckoning, and uncharted territory
Wow everyone lost something this campaign except ayla whose story is based upon finding something
God that was intense. (Spoilers)
Tom got really lucky then, if Quill didn't got a nat20 there'd probably be a death.
Silly Nova, for not thinking Mark Hulmes would do that
Timezones are brutal. Ao badly do I wish I could be watching live. As a dragonborn who might lose an eye, limb, or more. The loss of an eye and leg is quite a hardship.
Also, I have been looking at the dms guild weekly, hoping to see and maybe bring to the dm of our group the injury table that is used. Or even to have something handy for possible deployment to make things interesting.
What an epic frigging battle!
I love the injury table
Did Mark ever end up releasing a pdf for lightfall campain?
RIP Quill’s perception
That was brutal. Mark had them fight a guy who can one hit them.
According to massive damage rules lucius should be dead at 59 minutes. After being left at 3 hit points after the last round of combat taking 16 damage (19 hp total) the next attack dealt a total of 23 damage which would've meant - 20 hp. greater than total=death
Dear lord, I hope none of my DMs EVER see this. That is beyond brutal. Consequences is one thing, but jesus. :(
So basically the injuries are all Kim's fault?......welp
Edit: to be fair, the loss of Aila left 75% of the party squishy so......rip rip rip
Well it did not help at all I can say that much. Running away and one person not there was devastating.
YAY THEY GOT VALOR BACK! CAN'T WAIT TILL B.B. SUFFERS!
Tom/Quill has really taken to the leadership role! I think the party would have devolved to madness during and after the fight without him.
Holy shit.......
Oh my god.. I can breath.. Mark.. your a fucking gangster !!
So hardcore, I couldn’t handle waiting a week for the next one soooo happy I can binge ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I know yall are in the UK, but listen. And elk that size is not an elk. That is a Moose. Moose, I tell you. They are known as megafauna for a reason. Large sized creature is right, a moose could wrek your car and not have a scratch on them.
Nova: (in between sobs) EAT A SNICKERS YOURE NOT YOU WHEN YOURE HUNGRY
