    Dogsbody looks around at the group.
    Dogsbody: you know what. I think that might just work. Strahd is powerful but I think between the twelve of us I think we have the strength to bring him down.
    Everyone looks around confused.

  • @jamo2572
    @jamo2572 4 года назад +3

    I am just glad that the Asmodeus issue came up now because even though they are all friends and don't want to spilt the party, that deal roleplay-wise could be a party breaker and it really needed to addressed, discussed and dealt with in someway. Otherwise this was an excellent episode even more so because of it and the interesting plot points it introduces.

    • @AoAD
      @AoAD 4 года назад +4

      I mean, I feel Curse of Strahd is the module for such shenanigans. A dance between hope and despair. Also, I played in a game and it ended with the sweetest person of our party taking Strahd's place and betraying us because they feel they could bring goodness to Barovia, unaware of the consequences of listening to the dark powers. I trust the group before me to definitely run with this drama, and I immediately am predicting there is no happy end for Xiros and Xiiki.

    Still very confused about the idea that if my friend kills my other friend I am perfectly fine with it and the charm effect stays. But I don't know the rules on that one.

    • @frantisekvrana3902
      @frantisekvrana3902 4 года назад +4

      Even a normal Charm Person ends if the caster or their ally harms the victim. Harming victim's allies does not end it. Stradhs charm is just longer and has a chance of continuing (there is another saving throw) even if the you or your allies harm the victim.
      Personaly, I would give at least a disadvantaged save if the caster (or their ally) kills an ally of the victim. But this is Mark's game, and the way he did it is by the letter of the rules.

    • @Kadarin187
      @Kadarin187 4 года назад +4

      @@frantisekvrana3902 100%. Mark should do it as he wants.
      Just an idea I really have to wrap my head around, that I can be charmed by a person so hard that I don't care that they kill another friend. I always thought that "charm person" was "the target believes that you are lifelong friends". But I would care a great deal, even if a lifelong friend killed another person, doesn't even have to be a friend at that point. But maybe that's not the spell's intention and just my (wrong) shorthand for what it does.

    • @serenitybarry4679
      @serenitybarry4679 4 года назад +4

      Maybe it would have been different if he had killed Xikki or Izmark, but Xyros wasn't really good pals with Shadow at that point to begin with

    • @angelXofXstormz
      @angelXofXstormz 4 года назад +6

      I would imagine a Charm Person spell (especially coming from THE head vampire) would help the charmee kind of rationalize internally the actions of the charmer. Like Tom and others mentioned, he wasn't exactly on the best of terms with Shadow, so the charmed effect would help "guide" him to seeing Stradh's perspective of the encounter.
      Until Xyros eventually saves, whenever that is, maybe then he'll understand/think differently of what just happened. But that's just how I understand the spell from a roleplay POV. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

    • @toshomni9478
      @toshomni9478 3 года назад

      Yeah, I think mostly somebody affected by the spell the way Xiros was would just do nothing as both sides of the conflict were his friends, which is what ended up happening anyway for the most part.

    Mark (DM, obviously): "You could basically shoot through Yesper and Ismark. basically."
    Trott (Playing Yesper) [Firstly expression priceless] "Wait, what?" {Big hopeful "I'm not an intentional friendly fire, am I?" smile]
    Me: Yeah, I hear the DM offer to let a party member "shoot through my character" I'm going to be really alerted to that sentence.
    I'm probably misremembering, but didn't Asmodeus say the dagger would do, to mark Tatiana's soul? Tom could have made his normal attacks against the phantasmal enemies, casually having the dagger in an offhand, and made a "clumsy" error and "accidentally scraped her with the dagger? This way, in game mechanics, he's making an offhand attack at someone (with penalties, yes) but, within reality, easily claimed to have been in reaction to the "onslaught" of the phantasmal enemies "I am so sorry, I was focused on the foe before me, I did not mean to nick you with this blade."
    Ismark's mind has to have had a flash of "I thought we were blade bros!?!?!?"

    I have just realised that xiros has not told anyone even xiiki what she will die and be trapped in help if he does not do the 3 things he promised and based on the wording he has to do the 3 things not others, so in short he maybe killed her if they have PVP.
    makes a good story but i really makes me hate him plus it will be interesting what happens if he tells the party or what his motivation even is at the moment.

    • @Blasted2Oblivion
      @Blasted2Oblivion 4 года назад +1

      His universal motivation is to protect Xiiki. Risking her soul seems a bit off unless he was at that moment confident that he could do what Azmodeus wants. Everything else is either an extension of that or secondary.

  • @richardjames6990
    @richardjames6990 Год назад

    And this is always the difficulty with Strahd. Murder hoboes with no attachment to the characters or quests would take the death of a pc in their stride. Those who enjoy RP are faced with this stark choice. Act heroic and be slaughtered by Strahd even at full health or slink around quietly acquiring the objects you need only to be slaughtered by Strahd as he takes them back 🤔 I've always shied away from playing this adventure as I know I'd take a session like the last to heart and faced with the hopelessness of it all give up. Turn up and roll some dice for a couple more sessions and just not turn up after that ☹️. Well done to you all being able to RP so well time after time no matter what 👍 I'm very jealous

    • @Blasted2Oblivion
      @Blasted2Oblivion 4 года назад +3

      Xiiki is simple. Kill Strahd.
      Xyros needed to find the body the held Tatianna's soul (Ireena) and cut her with the devil sword. He then needed to find what was left of Strahds soul (though I remember hearing Serge and not Strahd) and gather it up. Then he had to return the soul to Strahd. After that he is good. I assume Azmodeus wants Strahd to have his soul to Azmodeus can take it.

      Brofessor X all weapons if you are proficient in them add strength to both attack and damage rolls UNLESS they are finesse, which allows the use of dexterity instead to both attack and damage. An extra attack as a bonus action is usable by everyone and is called an “offhand attack” and it doesnt allow extra ability modifier damage. but two weapon fighting allows you to add the damage
