I haven’t caught up yet. But I just wanna say to Monty, thank you so fucking much. The Unexpectables got me and all my friends into dnd back in 2018, and now I’m in preproduction of my own actual play series. This has been such a huge stepping stone for my life I really don’t have the words.
I had a hard start at first trying to get into montys storytelling but in the end I managed to fully get into it. Thank you unexpectables and I look forward to catching the next campaign!
Really? I'm at episode 15 currently, it's really enthralling. I think the most important quality about the dm is to be able to have realistic and extremely adaptive storytelling. She really excels at that
I think It was mostly the first few episodes that were a little slow for me. But by the time stillhavity was introduced I fully dived in. And I absolutely agree!
Boy didn’t even get a line at The End when most of the guest characters did. Couldn’t even use a past recording of one simple catchphrase: “It’s time to get Orcy, it’s time to get Borky, rrrraaaaaagh!” Wow. Just *wow.*
*Helen and Panic finally confess their love to each other* *me, a grown ass person going "D'aaaaaw! It finally happened!" like a schoolgirl* This was a wild ride. Thank you. Thank you all.
This was an amazing campaign. I'm so glad I caught the live for both The End and the Epilogue. Thank you everyone for this amazing time and I can't wait to see the next campaign
I love all of you guys, yall opened me up to a wonderful world of amazing fantasy and unexpected shenanigans. Pushing me to stray out of my shell and dive into myself as a huge effin nerd 🤓 love you monty, zito, gaijin, conner curtis and bosco
Im still a bit disappointed Taka never returned with Borky after he left... we never figured out how successful Cheese-Your-Mind was or if Borky ever did pass Ranfault on to the girl.
I hope you all realize that within this game, you didn't just create characters and places and events. This has been a living, breathing world and you have given us glimpses into the lives of these people. We have watched relationships develop from these characters for gods sake. I'm so happy to have witnessed it.
This was such a large part of my life for the last 5 years, it's so hard to believe it's over. You guys were all amazing. Mony, you made such an incredible world populated with some of the most entertaining and wonderful characters, bringing life to place I never knew I wanted to know about. Connor, Zito, Goombah, Bosco, you're role playing, heart, and humor made this such an amazing journey to be part of, and I'm so happy to see your characters get their happy endings. Thank you all so much for being here for us all, and I can't wait for what comes next. Love you all!
So, Borky just kind of disappeared huh? I mean, I'm sure everyone would have loved to have Borky back for the final episode, but I understand that Taka has a lot going on, so it makes sense that he couldn't make it himself. However, just a little epilogue, just something quick from Monty to give some closer, wouldn't have hurt (I assume. I obviously don't know the details of their reasoning).
Helga got me, I was ready to say goodbye to all the PC's but the realization during that last conversation that there wasn't going to be more Helga made me really sad. Bye Bosco!
I remember watching Zito and Taka play Persona 4 and pitch the idea of this, now 5 years later its been one of the best rides I've ever been on. Thank you all so much
I almost didn't want to listen to this. I didn't want this to end. Yet before the final word, My love to you I send. Thank you Monti, Gaijin, Conner, Zeto, and Bosco, Hope Takahata has been watching this story, And now it is time to let go. I actually started watching because of Gaijin's Which Ninja video on Greckles funny enough. Y'all have been an auditory cartoon series, and have laughed and cried through it all. ❤️😭❤️👍🏻
A wonderful conclusion to a wounderus story. Tho, through the standing ovation, I sat and ponder to myself. " what happened to borky?". Don't get me wrong , I love how it ended. However, I would have been pumped if , at the start of the final boss fight. Borky from somewhere telling them " it's time to get borky".
seriously, like of the 5 (the dm even being his sister) youdve thought 1 of them wouldve at least mentioned him! its not like he went the way of Orion from critrole, Taka left on what ive been led to understand were good terms with the group; for fucksake they upload all the content ON HIS CHANNEL. So why no motivational voice clip during The End, why no update on his cheesery and how things are going with the tribes other than Gruul's (who probably wouldnt even have become part of the story if not for Borky, but Gruul gets an epilogue)? But no, hes just written out and never spoken of again? Thats disgusting
@@Rzharving yeah I found myself thinking the same thing, It almost came across as something secretly sinister like I know I'm overthinking it but maybe taka as he went on detested playing the idiot character, but I felt Borky developed very well into the moral compass of the group and even a written Epilogue or monty asking him to record something would of been nice. Like was hanging around weird anime girls more interesting than at least showing up in spirit? I would of at least liked monty to make up something like "His cheesery was sucessful, he got with Lilly maybe had a couple kids" The end. That will always be a sour note on this series.
Yeah this is why i stopped watching it felt wrong i was there from the start seeing the team become a family but the moment borky left without an explanation it felt off to me like there was a hole in the story
Monty, Curt, Connor, Chris, Ed, Mike, I'd like to thank all of you for the last 4 years of some of the best storytelling I've had the pleasure of listening to and watching. You have inspired me to write fantasy based upon the lore of this series. I can't thank you enough for all of this. I hope the next adventure is even greater.
This ending had me in tears and happy giggling goblin like laughter towards the end, Mel was one of my favorite characters that i always wanted to see more of, even if she was EVIL AF lamo, and I couldn't be more happy to see some potential closure within the future of the character and her evil machinations. The whole Epilogue episode was beautiful, thank all of you for playing and streaming for us.
Wow man. This show has been with me for several years, and now that its ending I can't help but feel very sad.... As someone with ASD, I've grown attached to this show deeply, and I want to thank you. Thank you Monty for this amazing and kooky story that stretched these last years. Thank you Conner, for inspiring my first ever DnD character with Panoc Grimtongue. Thank you Gaijin, for playing a weeby bird that was sometimes cringy but overall was an excellent character. Thank you Zito, for giving us the viewers a character with such an amazing story arc. Thank you Taka, even though you went on to do something different I absolutely loved Borky with all of my heart. And lastly, thank you Bosco, for playing the Stoic Knight Remy, and for being such a good sport when the group would clown on you. Just.... thank you so much for this show. I'm gonna miss these crazy characters
i feel like borky got the short end of the stick in the epilogue. i completely understand if taka couldn't or didn't want to return but i'd like to think either he or monty could have written a where are they now section for borky and the fact that he wasn't included in the heroes statue rubbed me the wrong way especially since the character was confirmed to be alive and fighting several episodes back as a throwaway line. he was a core member of the unexpectables for the longest time and it sucked to not even see him acknowledged.
And the stranges part is that I remember people asking and typing "where's Borky?" During the sendoff and while Conor was reading the Bits and Subs and some of the coments started to be deleted. I want to say it was the mods doing so cause of spaming but it does raise some eyebrows imo
So concludes my favorite DND campaign of all time. Thank you for everything, Monty. I'm happy you get some time to rest, but I can't wait to see what you have in store!
I still can't believe they didn't bring Borky up at all, even if they had Connor do voice lines or something like that one episode during the elemental planes arc, but even the slightest mention of him was too much for them. Borky was an important character, who, never got his own mask arc, never got a voice line in the final battle, even though dozens of npcs and other guest stars got lines, and they could've put him at the wedding, or literally anywhere. But he wasn't there. There's a difference between being unable to show up for the episodes and be part of the stream, but no final comments, no epilogue for what became of him after the war, nothing. I held out hopes that they would give him at least one thing in the previous episode, or this one. But nothing. This episode, that is supposed to be full of finalities and happy endings, leaves nothing but a bitter taste in my mouth, because them acting as if Borky doesn't exist, just ruins the entire series for me at this point.
Dont forget the banning of borky's name which i somewhat get as people can be toxic about certain things and take them to far. But i feel its a bit weird that borky just got written out of the story like how that simpson's dog did in that itchy and scratchy episode.
borky got eaten by the end and everyone forgets they exist the end if taka had an actual problem with any of this he wouldn't still be hosting the vods on their RUclips channel it's the unfortunate reality when someone has other work.
Yeah it's sad borky wasn't given any closure and I agree I feel taka and Monty had a falling out she was always hardest on him and treated his character the worst out of them all and you can see how controlling throughout the series she is with everything I mean I get she's trying to be professional but even critical role is nowhere near as serious with clamping down on the players having fun but there's been many a time thru out where she'll yell at someone for breathing or what have you and I normally listen at work with good earbuds and never was taken out of the game until she shouted at someone l etc... I feel there either was a falling out or enough tension that taka bowed out and instead of trying to be an ass and kick them off his channel and force them to start over on RUclips he started his own new channel, and focused on the weary 101, but if they were on good terms they would have definitely had a borky message or end, because even a very busy person could have scrapped together a short message or signed off on a proposed ending. But Conner mentioned cheese in the epilogue and Monty quickly moved on without any acknowledgement, so that's why I feel it was a falling out. I liked this campaign but I fell out once he was gone it became much to self important imo but I felt I had to see it thru idk if I'm going to look into the next campaign at this point I'm kinda only listening for Conner anymore because I like him in most things he's in.
Im so happy and sad to see this story end. Congratulations and thank you monty,chris,bosco, gaijin,conor and taka on such a wonderful adventure. Here's to more good times and may the wind be at your backs! T.T
To see a story I've been following along with since 2017 come to an end in such a beautiful way is while sad filled my heart with joy for I was able to be a part of it. From highs and lows,good times and bad I never wanted to miss a new adventure with 4-later 5-guys from different backgrounds go from small beginnings to big endings. In closing I want to say to all those who made "The Unexpectables" possible I give you a heartfelt thank you for everything.
Loved this from start to finish. While I couldn't make it to many of the live streams, I've always loved The Unexpectables. Amazing game, you guys. I look forward to watching more on your new channel. Much love from Mr Sunshine.
I remember getting this series recommended to me, I skipped it till I saw who was playing and gave it a shot I'm so glad I did this was amazing and fueled my growing love for DND Thank you for keeping me entertained during my work
Hey Bosco! Since I know you read these I just wanted to say thank you for being an inspiration. Last year I wasnt sure how to get into voice acting so I took your advice and just started putting my finger into every pie. Also Monty, thank you for entertaining all of us for these short 4 years. Ive been lurking around since episode 3 of the Unexpectables and partially because of you I started my own DnD podcast. Cheers! And im so excided for what yall have planned next!
The unexpectables have been my favorite dnd stream for the past 4-5 years and I'm so happy that you ended on such a high note. I can't wait to see what you do next
Nothing but congratulations to you all, thankfulness I got to see this wonderful story in its entirety, and eager anticipation for what is to come next!❤️💙🖤💜💚💖
Awesome campaign! Been watching since Ep.4 and upwards. Also thanks for inspiring me too wanna play D&D now. You guys are awesome! Can't wait for the next show!
I'm so glad I was able to watch this live. You guys are amazing and wonderful people. Thank you for this amazing story that you all have been able to tell over these years. Now, I only have one more thing to say... Let's do it again.
This show got me through a long-ass, tough time in my life back in the day. Fell off for a couple reasons, but none that are important here. Just wanted to be here at the end to say congrats for a completed campaign, story, world that deserved so much and got just about everything it could right. Thanks, and take care, to all the players, the GM, and the old crew of the Alivastian Oracle, if that crazy bunch is still around. No matter what happens next... It was an incredible ride.
What an ending. I’m so good damn happy that I was able to be here from ~episode 20. I’ve been watching since I graduated high school, and it’s been with me for my time in college to now. I can’t wait to see what comes next for everyone, especially after that cliffhanger
I've been here since episode 1 dropped on youtube and I have enjoyed every episode. It was you that introduced me to 5e after my first horrible experience with dnd in 4e, it was you that introduced me to critical role which is my second favorite dnd channel (after this one), and it was you that inspired me to muster up my 4e friends and DM some new 5e campaigns. I genuinely appreciate all the efforts all of you have put into this channel and I look forward to all the things to come.
Goodbye crew your story has been come to an…expected end, but you know what they say “expect the unexpected” so I shall await for your return Edit: I imagine the party is like the ending scene from Treasure Planet
Well what a journey it has been. Thank you for this wonderful story, one I'll remember for years to come. I started playing D&D thanks to this campaign, like probably many others who followed the tale of all the characters through this tall tale. Thank you for the laughs, the cries, everything in between, and the amazing story telling. The well over 800 hours I've listened to this have been well spent. Long may live the Unexpectables! Can't wait to see what in store for the future! :)
The first time I heard about “The Unexpectables” was from an animatic between Borky and Task’s grandmother, it was so funny the first time seeing that animatic, so if it weren’t for Borky, well… I would’ve started watching “The Unexpectables”, but I just hope we can get to see more of this world in the future, and I bet that’s what the announcement is going to be on the 13th because the ending of the epilogue with that black-scaled kobold necromancer quite possibly involved in successfully creating a dracolich after the fact that something gaining lichdom is this prime material plane is the worst thing to happen, so it would just make sense, right?
I just want to say thank you to everyone involved in this. It’s been a massive part of my life for the past few years and has inspired me to develop my own D&D campaign and rekindled my love of writing. Thank you so, so much
I don’t know if Curt will see this, but I know the rest of the crew will. Hey guys, it’s me: DaSpoonmn. You all, including you Bosco, made such an amazing story that left me chomping at the bit waiting for the next episode. Thank you for being by my side and giving me an escape to the beautiful land of Alivast. Thank you for showing me an amazing party, a whole slew of amazing npcs, a very unforgettable Orc, a charismatic Tiefling, an edgy Kenku, a noble Griffin Rider, and one very prideful Kobold. And to you, MontyGlu, thank you for being the seamstress of this beautiful tapestry of a campaign. I cannot wait for what the future holds. Hail to Alivast, Hail to Heroes of the Sun, Hail to the Unexpectables!
Loved this campaign so much! Excellent job all of you. All the feels in this episode were heart wrenching in the best way. The only sad spot was no mention of Borky. Thank you all for a wonderful story! Looking forward to whatever comes next!
I dont think I'll ever get over Borky leaving. I dropped the show when it happened, but had hope he would come back at some point. At least for the finale. But this truly breaks my heart. The reasons dont matter, im just highly dissapointed that I'll never get to know about Borkys part of the story, or why he actually gave up on D&D in the first place.
Reason why he dropped was cuz he had his own vtubers thing start going on and working with alot of others suddenly that he was a bit too busy to continue from what they said.
My heart. I’ve been with this crew since the beginning, they’ve gotten me through some rough years… thank you Unexpectebles. Thank you so much for the laughs and the heartfelt moments. Thank you for this whole journey. I’m going to miss the team, but I look forward to hearing from this channel more in the future.
I said it before, but I'll say it again. This campaign has been an absolute treasure to listen to. It's hard to believe I first discovered it through mere chance and RUclips's weirdly specific algorithm, and I sadly never did get to see a single live show, but I stilled loved every bit of it from beginning to end.
I admit, at first I didn't like Borky, I was irritated by his antics, but when he grew as a character, and won in that fight pit with Quarion, my respect greatly increased. I was expecting him and the orc tribes to hold down a line in episode 199, that didn't happen, then I was waiting for Borky to say something with everyone else in episode 200. Now in the epilogue at the very end I'm still wondering " What about Borky?!" I'm sad he never came back.
Ever since finding this through the Greckles which ninja I've been a huge fan and you are all my favorite D&D stream. I can't wait to see what comes next, the next heroes have a lot to live up to, but I'm here for it.
Fantastic campaign Monty! I watched/listened to this religiously (save for the last 6-8 sessions cause life was complicated) since Zenrio arc! late to arrive, late to leave I guess lol Fondest memory was when I met Taka at a convention, asked him how Borky would react if Tubbs returned, never seen someone who had so little energy light up so quickly before haha it was even crazier when [SpOiLeR aLeRt] Tubs did in fact return a couple sessions after that con lol anyway thank you Unexpectables for a fantastic ride! Can't wait to start campaign 2!!!
I started watching this series when you guys were on episode 80 I believe. I had been watching Lani's campaign and found this one shortly after. I eventually caught up with the series around 100 I think. I never got to catch a live show but these VODs have been great. These last few years have been a wild ride and you guys are great at what you do. Thank you so much for everything an I'm beyond excited for what the future is bringing.
Still on episode 197 but i wanted to say thank you Monty and the players for creating such a wonderful story that I had the pleasure to listen to. Heck the unexpectables even got me interested and try dnd so for that I also want to thank you guys. Again thanks for the good times unexpectables
Due to losing multiple family members through December and January, I fell behind. I was still in the Fey wild arc and I wanted to catch up but I kept being unable because I had so much going on that I threw myself into running my construction company and playing Pokémon Arceus as my one game. I literally cut myself off of discord, twitch, and RUclips, so when I finally got myself back on and catching up again, it was the Tuesday just before episode 200 on Wednesday. By the time I caught up to watch episode 200 the epilogue was live. So a rush of going from episode ~180-200 over a week and it all rushing at once, the end really was a metaphorical train hitting my emotions. Thank you Monty, Connor, Gaijin, Zito, Bosco (and even though hes gone onto other things, Taka too) for all of the fun, the laughs the tears and fears you’ve shared with me on this wondrous (and unexpected) adventure!
Since everyone is pretending he never existed, I just decided that my head cannon is that Borky actually never left. He fought on right up till the final fight, but died by the hands of the end. And like lys, he and all memory of him was wiped from existance.
It's rough, but that could only work if Borky became a god before he died, since that's how the memory erasure thing works. I like to think he became the God of Cheese (among other very cool things) before he sacrificed himself to save the others. That'd be nice.
Well it wasn't just borkys name, it was also the borky emote and Taka's name was well. They timed out all who use them as well, even if it was just emote only. And it wasn't just the stream either the discord was also being purged as well. I get it If they had said something to everyone not to use that emote or ask about borky. However that wasn't the case and the mods just (and in my opinion) abused their mod powers without any explanation. I don't buy it that they just ignore Borky because taka left to do other things. Taka was a big part of this series and borky should of gotten some recognition in the last episode. To me it felt disrespectful and it was handled poorly. This is my feelings on it and I just wish we get an honest answer or a answer that people could understand.
@@Knightmaster25 God finding out about that makes me real nervous for the next series and kinda...makes me wonder if I want to watch..that just sounds like something bad is happening idk...has me worried
@@Knightmaster25 They have asked people not to keep on about it. Multiple times. And like it's been said, if Taka wanted to be there, he'd be there. They timed out people who kept asking about it because they WOULD NOT STOP, even when it was clear Taka wasn't making an appearance.
I feel like im losing some very good friends with the show ending. Started with yall back in 2018, back when i first started snd with pathfinder. You all got me through my drive across canada and have been a valiant source of inspiration. Lords be with you.
I started watching 3 days behind and I finished 3 Days behind great work to all of you, and making at least one day a week at work more interesting than the rest.
love you guys tho it's been great getting to be on this journey with you all. every episode every guest star has been a delight thats enriched my life with such good fun thank you for the memories.
I just wanna say thank you! I have been keeping this balled up inside for 5 years.... . . . . . . . Lady Aila's name means "barf" in Icelandic so I have been snickering when it pops up in the roleplay..... THERE i SAID IT! I sometimes have a sense of humor at the size of a teaspoon...
So let me get this straight. The three nameless drunk dwarves get a backstory in the epilogue, but Taka couldn’t write a little blurb for what happens to Borky? Or just give Monty admin privileges to make one up? Come on guys? The fuck happened to Borky
While I loved the shit out of the epilogue for the rest of the PCs and NPCs, I gotta agree. I was hoping for something about Borky right till the end too. It’s a shame, yes; there could’ve been something behind the scenes that’s the reason for the complete absence. We may never know, and we may have to live with that. The best I can do, is be happy that we were able to have Taka as Borky at all
I mean it sucks that he couldn’t play but that’s just something we all have to eat. What pisses me off is that he didn’t just take 10 minutes to write out “ the cheesery took off like a rocket ship and he became a famous orc chief” Little epigraph and email it to Monty. It really wouldn’t of been that difficult.
Monty wanted the players to write and voice their own endings. She only touched the NPCs. And the question of what happened to Borky was addressed in the Q&A: He led the orcs in the East, won, remained in Alivast to run his cheesery.
A crab got a line, but not one of the main characters, who was there for 90% of the campaign. Just say he became a great cheese baron, and call it a day. That alone would have satisfied most fans. Not saying anything is louder than just saying a quick blurb.
@@Aschwartz14 Or even a 10 second message for the final battle. He could have phoned it in while walking Gregor, and it would have given us a sense of closure. D:
Loved it and so going to miss this hilarious journey. It has been a great run and I will gladly watch through another campaign. If I may, I wanted to give my take on how the final battle would have been and I would like to hear people's thoughts on it as well as their own takes. Don't get me wrong, the final battle was awesome, but we all had ideas on what would happen and here is my idea of it. Different take on the boss fight with The End (not the mechanic that The End had, no spoilers just encase). They complete their battle, reduce The End's hit points to zero. The realm begins to shake as The End howls in pain, body twitching, and victory is in their grasp. Then, a flash of light, and when it fades, The Unexpectables are on a dark platform above Alivast and the Attic, as the darkness slowly engulfs the Attic and the crystals. Laughter is heard from the End, familiar laughter. Coming out of the High District, comes this black dash that over takes The End, as the solar eclipse grows into a black sun. A familiar voice echoes over the city, "It is good to be back~. And I must say, my old ex-favorite toys are here to greet me~." Devouring The End and achieving a new form is Stillhavity. Stillhavity, "Thought you got rid of me? Thought you saved Orun? Well, you almost did. You see, you lot aren't the only ones with an aspect of that being!" Monty would explain that they can clearly see clerics, paladins, and even Orun Aasimir losing their powers across the city. Stillhavity, echoing across the city, "Guess it is time to stop giving those moronic clergymen the stolen power of Orun! Though, it is because of them that their God is dying! The fool should have just let me kill him! But you lot ruined it! Now, it is time I ruin you!" An encounter happens where the party is overwhelmed as below them, those who had the black tar like substance like Athtar explodes off of them and turns them into monsters, as a few appear on the platform and fights the party. Beaten and broken, the party is left helpless as Stillhavity laughs. Only (perception check and it makes sense for these two to pass) for Remy and Task to turn at the sound of flapping wings. Leading the charge of Silver Dragons is Borky on either Volo or Tarusk, don't know which would be funnier, screaming, Borky, "It's time to get Orky! It's time to get Borky! AHHHH!" Landing, more like falling, Borky lands next to the party and slashes a Stillhavity spawn. With either Remy or Task going at Borky for riding their friend into battle, Borky gives the party a speech to inspire them. With the party feeling their will rise, the Attic and the crystals shine brightly. Lys, "And you shall not do this alone! Alone!" Each one gaining new powers based off of their character development and the one shot sessions. They stand together against Stillhavity and his minions for the final battle. Their gifts: Borky getting a Legendary Action to have an ally attack an enemy, based off of his accomplishments with the Orc tribes. Due to Lily's victory, Borky gets Totem Warrior's Bear effects with his level with his rage as well as his normal rage bonuses. Remy, from the Merkz, he gains silver wings for a flight speed. He also gains a combat support ability, while flanking in the air with an ally, he suffers a minus 5 to the roll (so a minus 3 due to flanking), on a hit, both Remy and his ally will deal damage (no sneak attack), on a roll of 19, his ally gets a crit. This is due to his support with the group, always setting them up for victory in combat. Panic, from Rat's victory, Catharsis gets an axe blade and becomes a 1d8+Charisma+1d4 Thunder damage melee weapon. And from his heritage, Panic can inflict only his enemies with Resin. Task, from Obby's victory, gains the ability to have a fire dragon breath weapon, with the d6 recharge. And from his connection to Azra Sahar, can attack the same amount as she could in a turn with her extra attack. And Greckles, from Seika and saving the elemental planes, the Sunblade does increased dice damage and he does 2d6 in fire damage with every attack he makes.
Ill miss you all, thank you for the years of adventures and laughs and tears. Remmy, Greckles, Task, Panic and even Borkky, from the bottem of my heart, thank you
I fell behind really early in the series, and look forward to finishing it. You guys told a very fun story and I hope to see another series at some point.
Thanks for entertaing us for free through hard times both as players and dungeon master, Lani if you read this, your included, Jocat I haven't checked your campaign yet but I look forward to it.
No body ever wishes for a good story to end. But all stories must end eventually. However the good thing about the end is there is always a new beginning soon after. Thus Goodbye, look forward to when you see each other in the next story, be it as background characters, a cameo, or even part of the main cast.
I'm also wondering this. Maybe I just don't remember because it's been a hot minute but in universe he was just kinda gone out of the blue. Even Orion's character in Crit Role season 1 had closure of a sort and *he* was a drug addicted domestic abuser, allegedly.
Kinda wish he just died at this point... Imagine them finding borky courpse, surrounded by a cyclone, propped up by the wind of raunfault, only for them to take the blade and learn that Icarus killed him.
@@an8strengthkobold360 ok cool! So long as there's something. Honestly, that is perfectly fitting closure for Borky: An impressive job that will help him learn more about himself and something wacky that will inevitably be ridiculously successful.
@@AshBlossomWorshiper we might get an answer during the q and a they will have but i would take that with a grain of salt, considering how the mods were during the final stream.
@@FrankandRaul Yeah, I get it that he's busy with other stuff, but man we missed out on many Borky shenanigans before this episode, especially with the death of a certain kobold.
@@kotaro07 I was expecting at the point of the wedding the doors get broken down and with a mighty roar the party hears “I DO NOT OBJECT!!!” And borky walks in with a beard and a mighty moustache
Since everyone is pretending he never existed, I just decided that my head cannon is that Borky actually never left. He fought on right up till the final fight, but died by the hands of the end. And like lys, he and all memory of him was wiped from existance.
Tha k you for this wonderful journey. I can't say how much I love you lot and Taka too. I've grown alongside ya for the last almost 5 years. And I look forward to future endeavors
The mods did not have to ban the word Borky or delete questions and bit drops during the stream, Monty or someone else could have made an announcement to not say his name or at least leave something in the chat to not bring him up
Not just the streams, but even in these comments. Some of mine were muted. Particularly the ones where I mentioned that a 10-20 second message from taka for the final battle shouldn't have been too hard to put in for the final battle. : /
@@SS5Ghaleon They got enough of that in the stream of the episode itself. Seriously, if they haven't and won't speak of it, then it's most likely very personal and all parties involved may not want it spoken about. People have literally spammed stuff about Borky in comments here and in the streams, and spam is usually not tolerated even if people give bits.
Helga: *Dies*
Helga: *Meets the harvest man*
Helga *Tries to punch the harvest man in the face*

" So they could let her down, one last time"
I nearly died and joined Helga, even in death that woman was a savage
I feel like she killed off Helga just to make that joke.
I read that last line in Helga's voice in my head without even thinking about it. Lol.
Getting called out in the most recent episode was something I didn't expect.
I haven’t caught up yet. But I just wanna say to Monty, thank you so fucking much. The Unexpectables got me and all my friends into dnd back in 2018, and now I’m in preproduction of my own actual play series. This has been such a huge stepping stone for my life I really don’t have the words.
Spolier I guess
Monty- "Does anyone object?"
My brain at 3 o'clock at night- borky yelling, "WAIT!!! AM I LATE?"
Somewhere out there, Borky is now the Cheese Baron of the world...
I had a hard start at first trying to get into montys storytelling but in the end I managed to fully get into it. Thank you unexpectables and I look forward to catching the next campaign!
Really? I'm at episode 15 currently, it's really enthralling. I think the most important quality about the dm is to be able to have realistic and extremely adaptive storytelling. She really excels at that
I think It was mostly the first few episodes that were a little slow for me. But by the time stillhavity was introduced I fully dived in. And I absolutely agree!
I fell in love with this campaign when Ted was balling his eyes out and slapped borkys hand away
Great ending, but i can't believe they didn't even mention Borky at all. Seems kinda weird
Boy didn’t even get a line at The End when most of the guest characters did.
Couldn’t even use a past recording of one simple catchphrase: “It’s time to get Orcy, it’s time to get Borky, rrrraaaaaagh!”
Wow. Just *wow.*
*Helen and Panic finally confess their love to each other*
*me, a grown ass person going "D'aaaaaw! It finally happened!" like a schoolgirl*
This was a wild ride. Thank you. Thank you all.
This was an amazing campaign. I'm so glad I caught the live for both The End and the Epilogue. Thank you everyone for this amazing time and I can't wait to see the next campaign
I love all of you guys, yall opened me up to a wonderful world of amazing fantasy and unexpected shenanigans. Pushing me to stray out of my shell and dive into myself as a huge effin nerd 🤓 love you monty, zito, gaijin, conner curtis and bosco
Im still a bit disappointed Taka never returned with Borky after he left... we never figured out how successful Cheese-Your-Mind was or if Borky ever did pass Ranfault on to the girl.
I hope you all realize that within this game, you didn't just create characters and places and events. This has been a living, breathing world and you have given us glimpses into the lives of these people. We have watched relationships develop from these characters for gods sake. I'm so happy to have witnessed it.
This was such a large part of my life for the last 5 years, it's so hard to believe it's over. You guys were all amazing. Mony, you made such an incredible world populated with some of the most entertaining and wonderful characters, bringing life to place I never knew I wanted to know about. Connor, Zito, Goombah, Bosco, you're role playing, heart, and humor made this such an amazing journey to be part of, and I'm so happy to see your characters get their happy endings. Thank you all so much for being here for us all, and I can't wait for what comes next. Love you all!
So, Borky just kind of disappeared huh? I mean, I'm sure everyone would have loved to have Borky back for the final episode, but I understand that Taka has a lot going on, so it makes sense that he couldn't make it himself. However, just a little epilogue, just something quick from Monty to give some closer, wouldn't have hurt (I assume. I obviously don't know the details of their reasoning).
Task: I'm sure you all have negative opinions of me from when we first met.
Meryl: What? Was the 600 G an insult?
Helga got me, I was ready to say goodbye to all the PC's but the realization during that last conversation that there wasn't going to be more Helga made me really sad. Bye Bosco!
I remember watching Zito and Taka play Persona 4 and pitch the idea of this, now 5 years later its been one of the best rides I've ever been on. Thank you all so much
I almost didn't want to listen to this.
I didn't want this to end.
Yet before the final word,
My love to you I send.
Thank you Monti, Gaijin, Conner, Zeto, and Bosco,
Hope Takahata has been watching this story,
And now it is time to let go.
I actually started watching because of Gaijin's Which Ninja video on Greckles funny enough. Y'all have been an auditory cartoon series, and have laughed and cried through it all. ❤️😭❤️👍🏻
You and me both.

A wonderful conclusion to a wounderus story. Tho, through the standing ovation, I sat and ponder to myself. " what happened to borky?". Don't get me wrong , I love how it ended. However, I would have been pumped if , at the start of the final boss fight. Borky from somewhere telling them " it's time to get borky".
To bad Taka peaced out like a whimp to go be a V-tuber.
@@CMB505 Dude I get it, it’s sad he’s not here, don’t hate on his job. He’s chasing his career opportunities. Please respect that
seriously, like of the 5 (the dm even being his sister) youdve thought 1 of them wouldve at least mentioned him! its not like he went the way of Orion from critrole, Taka left on what ive been led to understand were good terms with the group; for fucksake they upload all the content ON HIS CHANNEL. So why no motivational voice clip during The End, why no update on his cheesery and how things are going with the tribes other than Gruul's (who probably wouldnt even have become part of the story if not for Borky, but Gruul gets an epilogue)? But no, hes just written out and never spoken of again? Thats disgusting
@@Rzharving yeah I found myself thinking the same thing, It almost came across as something secretly sinister
like I know I'm overthinking it but maybe taka as he went on detested playing the idiot character, but I felt Borky developed
very well into the moral compass of the group and even a written Epilogue or monty asking him to record something would
of been nice. Like was hanging around weird anime girls more interesting than at least showing up in spirit?
I would of at least liked monty to make up something like "His cheesery was sucessful, he got with Lilly maybe had a couple kids"
The end. That will always be a sour note on this series.
Yeah this is why i stopped watching it felt wrong i was there from the start seeing the team become a family but the moment borky left without an explanation it felt off to me like there was a hole in the story
Start 25:18
Brake start 1:29:33
Brake end 1:40:54
Technical difficulties start 2:07:27
Technical difficulties end 2:12:40
The end 2:59:22
It has been an honor

Thank you
Thanks.
i would like to thank you for all that you do, it helps so much
Monty, Curt, Connor, Chris, Ed, Mike, I'd like to thank all of you for the last 4 years of some of the best storytelling I've had the pleasure of listening to and watching. You have inspired me to write fantasy based upon the lore of this series. I can't thank you enough for all of this. I hope the next adventure is even greater.
This ending had me in tears and happy giggling goblin like laughter towards the end, Mel was one of my favorite characters that i always wanted to see more of, even if she was EVIL AF lamo, and I couldn't be more happy to see some potential closure within the future of the character and her evil machinations. The whole Epilogue episode was beautiful, thank all of you for playing and streaming for us.
Great ending all around. About to cry my eyes out at the epilogue, but just know you guys were the best dnd podcast I listened to.
Wow man. This show has been with me for several years, and now that its ending I can't help but feel very sad.... As someone with ASD, I've grown attached to this show deeply, and I want to thank you. Thank you Monty for this amazing and kooky story that stretched these last years. Thank you Conner, for inspiring my first ever DnD character with Panoc Grimtongue. Thank you Gaijin, for playing a weeby bird that was sometimes cringy but overall was an excellent character. Thank you Zito, for giving us the viewers a character with such an amazing story arc. Thank you Taka, even though you went on to do something different I absolutely loved Borky with all of my heart. And lastly, thank you Bosco, for playing the Stoic Knight Remy, and for being such a good sport when the group would clown on you.
Just.... thank you so much for this show. I'm gonna miss these crazy characters
i feel like borky got the short end of the stick in the epilogue. i completely understand if taka couldn't or didn't want to return but i'd like to think either he or monty could have written a where are they now section for borky and the fact that he wasn't included in the heroes statue rubbed me the wrong way especially since the character was confirmed to be alive and fighting several episodes back as a throwaway line. he was a core member of the unexpectables for the longest time and it sucked to not even see him acknowledged.
And the stranges part is that I remember people asking and typing "where's Borky?" During the sendoff and while Conor was reading the Bits and Subs and some of the coments started to be deleted. I want to say it was the mods doing so cause of spaming but it does raise some eyebrows imo
@@dillansantiago707 That’s pretty much it. A mod respond in the discord that spamming was the reason
Yeah I agree
The radio silence made it a bigger deal than if they just said "We understand your concerns, but we'd rather not talk about Borky at this time". :(
@@SS5Ghaleon They did, actually. Q&A before the boss fight, they mentioned he was not appearing in the finale
So concludes my favorite DND campaign of all time. Thank you for everything, Monty. I'm happy you get some time to rest, but I can't wait to see what you have in store!
As a wise snakeboi once said "AAAAH! you've made me feel things now I have to deal with them!".
Looking forward to whatever comes next.
I still can't believe they didn't bring Borky up at all, even if they had Connor do voice lines or something like that one episode during the elemental planes arc, but even the slightest mention of him was too much for them. Borky was an important character, who, never got his own mask arc, never got a voice line in the final battle, even though dozens of npcs and other guest stars got lines, and they could've put him at the wedding, or literally anywhere. But he wasn't there. There's a difference between being unable to show up for the episodes and be part of the stream, but no final comments, no epilogue for what became of him after the war, nothing. I held out hopes that they would give him at least one thing in the previous episode, or this one. But nothing. This episode, that is supposed to be full of finalities and happy endings, leaves nothing but a bitter taste in my mouth, because them acting as if Borky doesn't exist, just ruins the entire series for me at this point.
Dont forget the banning of borky's name which i somewhat get as people can be toxic about certain things and take them to far. But i feel its a bit weird that borky just got written out of the story like how that simpson's dog did in that itchy and scratchy episode.
borky got eaten by the end and everyone forgets they exist
the end
if taka had an actual problem with any of this he wouldn't still be hosting the vods on their RUclips channel
it's the unfortunate reality when someone has other work.
@@bbgunp I think something happened between him and Monty. It feels eerily like the Arcadum fiasco.
Yeah it's sad borky wasn't given any closure and I agree I feel taka and Monty had a falling out she was always hardest on him and treated his character the worst out of them all and you can see how controlling throughout the series she is with everything I mean I get she's trying to be professional but even critical role is nowhere near as serious with clamping down on the players having fun but there's been many a time thru out where she'll yell at someone for breathing or what have you and I normally listen at work with good earbuds and never was taken out of the game until she shouted at someone l etc... I feel there either was a falling out or enough tension that taka bowed out and instead of trying to be an ass and kick them off his channel and force them to start over on RUclips he started his own new channel, and focused on the weary 101, but if they were on good terms they would have definitely had a borky message or end, because even a very busy person could have scrapped together a short message or signed off on a proposed ending. But Conner mentioned cheese in the epilogue and Monty quickly moved on without any acknowledgement, so that's why I feel it was a falling out.
I liked this campaign but I fell out once he was gone it became much to self important imo but I felt I had to see it thru idk if I'm going to look into the next campaign at this point I'm kinda only listening for Conner anymore because I like him in most things he's in.
@@NMXP Yeah, Monty did become lazy, controlling, manipulative, and bitchy somewhere in the silver king arc.
Im so happy and sad to see this story end.
Congratulations and thank you monty,chris,bosco, gaijin,conor and taka on such a wonderful adventure. Here's to more good times and may the wind be at your backs!
T.T
And so this story ends. But another waits in the wings, ready to be told when the pieces fall into their proper places.
Excellent game, y'all.
This has been an insane roller coaster of a ride…Monty is a wonderful DM and I cannot wait to see more from her and everyone else!
To see a story I've been following along with since 2017 come to an end in such a beautiful way is while sad filled my heart with joy for I was able to be a part of it. From highs and lows,good times and bad I never wanted to miss a new adventure with 4-later 5-guys from different backgrounds go from small beginnings to big endings. In closing I want to say to all those who made "The Unexpectables" possible I give you a heartfelt thank you for everything.
It hurts to say goodbye to the characters but all good things must come to an end.
Oh and hi Bosco
Loved this from start to finish. While I couldn't make it to many of the live streams, I've always loved The Unexpectables. Amazing game, you guys. I look forward to watching more on your new channel. Much love from Mr Sunshine.
🎶 We don't talk about Borky no, no, no 🎶
I remember getting this series recommended to me, I skipped it till I saw who was playing and gave it a shot
I'm so glad I did this was amazing and fueled my growing love for DND
Thank you for keeping me entertained during my work
Hey Bosco! Since I know you read these I just wanted to say thank you for being an inspiration. Last year I wasnt sure how to get into voice acting so I took your advice and just started putting my finger into every pie.
Also Monty, thank you for entertaining all of us for these short 4 years. Ive been lurking around since episode 3 of the Unexpectables and partially because of you I started my own DnD podcast.
Cheers! And im so excided for what yall have planned next!
The unexpectables have been my favorite dnd stream for the past 4-5 years and I'm so happy that you ended on such a high note. I can't wait to see what you do next
Nothing but congratulations to you all, thankfulness I got to see this wonderful story in its entirety, and eager anticipation for what is to come next!❤️💙🖤💜💚💖
Awesome campaign! Been watching since Ep.4 and upwards. Also thanks for inspiring me too wanna play D&D now.
You guys are awesome! Can't wait for the next show!
I was here at the start… I’m proud to be here at the end. Ride on Unexpectables. Onward to the next adventure.
I'm so glad I was able to watch this live. You guys are amazing and wonderful people. Thank you for this amazing story that you all have been able to tell over these years. Now, I only have one more thing to say...
Let's do it again.
This show got me through a long-ass, tough time in my life back in the day. Fell off for a couple reasons, but none that are important here. Just wanted to be here at the end to say congrats for a completed campaign, story, world that deserved so much and got just about everything it could right. Thanks, and take care, to all the players, the GM, and the old crew of the Alivastian Oracle, if that crazy bunch is still around. No matter what happens next... It was an incredible ride.
What an ending. I’m so good damn happy that I was able to be here from ~episode 20. I’ve been watching since I graduated high school, and it’s been with me for my time in college to now. I can’t wait to see what comes next for everyone, especially after that cliffhanger
I've been here since episode 1 dropped on youtube and I have enjoyed every episode. It was you that introduced me to 5e after my first horrible experience with dnd in 4e, it was you that introduced me to critical role which is my second favorite dnd channel (after this one), and it was you that inspired me to muster up my 4e friends and DM some new 5e campaigns. I genuinely appreciate all the efforts all of you have put into this channel and I look forward to all the things to come.
Thanks for laughs and smiles folks, lord knows we all need them these days
Goodbye crew your story has been come to an…expected end, but you know what they say “expect the unexpected” so I shall await for your return
Edit: I imagine the party is like the ending scene from Treasure Planet
No Nit-Picking for the epilogue, goodnight everyone.
In whatever next may come, will we see you there too, Pi?
Just want to say I've appreciated your nit picking. This show taught me how to play and you've perfected it when Monty forgets or skips things.
Well what a journey it has been. Thank you for this wonderful story, one I'll remember for years to come. I started playing D&D thanks to this campaign, like probably many others who followed the tale of all the characters through this tall tale.
Thank you for the laughs, the cries, everything in between, and the amazing story telling. The well over 800 hours I've listened to this have been well spent.
Long may live the Unexpectables!
Can't wait to see what in store for the future! :)
A glorious and unexpectably enchanting experience
The first time I heard about “The Unexpectables” was from an animatic between Borky and Task’s grandmother, it was so funny the first time seeing that animatic, so if it weren’t for Borky, well… I would’ve started watching “The Unexpectables”, but I just hope we can get to see more of this world in the future, and I bet that’s what the announcement is going to be on the 13th because the ending of the epilogue with that black-scaled kobold necromancer quite possibly involved in successfully creating a dracolich after the fact that something gaining lichdom is this prime material plane is the worst thing to happen, so it would just make sense, right?
I just want to say thank you to everyone involved in this. It’s been a massive part of my life for the past few years and has inspired me to develop my own D&D campaign and rekindled my love of writing. Thank you so, so much
I don’t know if Curt will see this, but I know the rest of the crew will. Hey guys, it’s me: DaSpoonmn. You all, including you Bosco, made such an amazing story that left me chomping at the bit waiting for the next episode. Thank you for being by my side and giving me an escape to the beautiful land of Alivast. Thank you for showing me an amazing party, a whole slew of amazing npcs, a very unforgettable Orc, a charismatic Tiefling, an edgy Kenku, a noble Griffin Rider, and one very prideful Kobold. And to you, MontyGlu, thank you for being the seamstress of this beautiful tapestry of a campaign. I cannot wait for what the future holds. Hail to Alivast, Hail to Heroes of the Sun, Hail to the Unexpectables!
So many moments and good times were had in this campaign. I look forward to Monty's next campaign.
Loved this campaign so much! Excellent job all of you. All the feels in this episode were heart wrenching in the best way. The only sad spot was no mention of Borky. Thank you all for a wonderful story! Looking forward to whatever comes next!
I dont think I'll ever get over Borky leaving. I dropped the show when it happened, but had hope he would come back at some point. At least for the finale. But this truly breaks my heart. The reasons dont matter, im just highly dissapointed that I'll never get to know about Borkys part of the story, or why he actually gave up on D&D in the first place.
Reason why he dropped was cuz he had his own vtubers thing start going on and working with alot of others suddenly that he was a bit too busy to continue from what they said.
we got his story, connor and bosco told it on reddit
Truly a great ending, but yall got the looming threat secret ending... oof lol more adventures though right?!
My heart. I’ve been with this crew since the beginning, they’ve gotten me through some rough years… thank you Unexpectebles. Thank you so much for the laughs and the heartfelt moments. Thank you for this whole journey. I’m going to miss the team, but I look forward to hearing from this channel more in the future.
I remember watching this during the October of the 1sr year of the pandemic. Thank you for making being stuck inside for years be more bare able.
I said it before, but I'll say it again. This campaign has been an absolute treasure to listen to. It's hard to believe I first discovered it through mere chance and RUclips's weirdly specific algorithm, and I sadly never did get to see a single live show, but I stilled loved every bit of it from beginning to end.
Thank you Monty and The Unexpectables for four years of greatness.
Almost five years since the start, crazy and sad
I admit, at first I didn't like Borky, I was irritated by his antics, but when he grew as a character, and won in that fight pit with Quarion, my respect greatly increased. I was expecting him and the orc tribes to hold down a line in episode 199, that didn't happen, then I was waiting for Borky to say something with everyone else in episode 200. Now in the epilogue at the very end I'm still wondering " What about Borky?!" I'm sad he never came back.
Ever since finding this through the Greckles which ninja I've been a huge fan and you are all my favorite D&D stream. I can't wait to see what comes next, the next heroes have a lot to live up to, but I'm here for it.
Fantastic campaign Monty! I watched/listened to this religiously (save for the last 6-8 sessions cause life was complicated) since Zenrio arc! late to arrive, late to leave I guess lol Fondest memory was when I met Taka at a convention, asked him how Borky would react if Tubbs returned, never seen someone who had so little energy light up so quickly before haha it was even crazier when [SpOiLeR aLeRt] Tubs did in fact return a couple sessions after that con lol anyway thank you Unexpectables for a fantastic ride! Can't wait to start campaign 2!!!
I started watching this series when you guys were on episode 80 I believe. I had been watching Lani's campaign and found this one shortly after. I eventually caught up with the series around 100 I think. I never got to catch a live show but these VODs have been great. These last few years have been a wild ride and you guys are great at what you do. Thank you so much for everything an I'm beyond excited for what the future is bringing.
Even though no one said it, I like to imagine all the gust characters related to the main story and Borky were in the background of that wedding
Still on episode 197 but i wanted to say thank you Monty and the players for creating such a wonderful story that I had the pleasure to listen to. Heck the unexpectables even got me interested and try dnd so for that I also want to thank you guys. Again thanks for the good times unexpectables
Due to losing multiple family members through December and January, I fell behind. I was still in the Fey wild arc and I wanted to catch up but I kept being unable because I had so much going on that I threw myself into running my construction company and playing Pokémon Arceus as my one game. I literally cut myself off of discord, twitch, and RUclips, so when I finally got myself back on and catching up again, it was the Tuesday just before episode 200 on Wednesday. By the time I caught up to watch episode 200 the epilogue was live. So a rush of going from episode ~180-200 over a week and it all rushing at once, the end really was a metaphorical train hitting my emotions.
Thank you Monty, Connor, Gaijin, Zito, Bosco (and even though hes gone onto other things, Taka too) for all of the fun, the laughs the tears and fears you’ve shared with me on this wondrous (and unexpected) adventure!
Since everyone is pretending he never existed, I just decided that my head cannon is that Borky actually never left. He fought on right up till the final fight, but died by the hands of the end. And like lys, he and all memory of him was wiped from existance.
It's rough, but that could only work if Borky became a god before he died, since that's how the memory erasure thing works.
I like to think he became the God of Cheese (among other very cool things) before he sacrificed himself to save the others. That'd be nice.
Nah I rather Borky just retire to his cheesery and live a quiet life, him dying wouldn't be satisfying.
Sad part is during the livestream the mods banned Borky's name from chat due to people asking about him.
They really want to remove Borkys existence suddenly huh.
@@NeoBluereaper Seems that way. It's really weird. You still can't use Borky's name in their Twitch chat.
Well it wasn't just borkys name, it was also the borky emote and Taka's name was well. They timed out all who use them as well, even if it was just emote only.
And it wasn't just the stream either the discord was also being purged as well. I get it If they had said something to everyone not to use that emote or ask about borky. However that wasn't the case and the mods just (and in my opinion) abused their mod powers without any explanation. I don't buy it that they just ignore Borky because taka left to do other things. Taka was a big part of this series and borky should of gotten some recognition in the last episode. To me it felt disrespectful and it was handled poorly.
This is my feelings on it and I just wish we get an honest answer or a answer that people could understand.
@@Knightmaster25 God finding out about that makes me real nervous for the next series and kinda...makes me wonder if I want to watch..that just sounds like something bad is happening idk...has me worried
@@Knightmaster25 They have asked people not to keep on about it. Multiple times. And like it's been said, if Taka wanted to be there, he'd be there. They timed out people who kept asking about it because they WOULD NOT STOP, even when it was clear Taka wasn't making an appearance.
I feel like im losing some very good friends with the show ending. Started with yall back in 2018, back when i first started snd with pathfinder. You all got me through my drive across canada and have been a valiant source of inspiration. Lords be with you.
I started watching 3 days behind and I finished 3 Days behind great work to all of you, and making at least one day a week at work more interesting than the rest.
love you guys tho it's been great getting to be on this journey with you all. every episode every guest star has been a delight thats enriched my life with such good fun thank you for the memories.
I just wanna say thank you!
I have been keeping this balled up inside for 5 years....
.

.
Lady Aila's name means "barf" in Icelandic so I have been snickering when it pops up in the roleplay.....
THERE i SAID IT!
I sometimes have a sense of humor at the size of a teaspoon...
So let me get this straight. The three nameless drunk dwarves get a backstory in the epilogue, but Taka couldn’t write a little blurb for what happens to Borky? Or just give Monty admin privileges to make one up? Come on guys? The fuck happened to Borky
While I loved the shit out of the epilogue for the rest of the PCs and NPCs, I gotta agree.
I was hoping for something about Borky right till the end too. It’s a shame, yes; there could’ve been something behind the scenes that’s the reason for the complete absence. We may never know, and we may have to live with that.
The best I can do, is be happy that we were able to have Taka as Borky at all
I mean it sucks that he couldn’t play but that’s just something we all have to eat. What pisses me off is that he didn’t just take 10 minutes to write out “ the cheesery took off like a rocket ship and he became a famous orc chief” Little epigraph and email it to Monty. It really wouldn’t of been that difficult.
Monty wanted the players to write and voice their own endings. She only touched the NPCs. And the question of what happened to Borky was addressed in the Q&A: He led the orcs in the East, won, remained in Alivast to run his cheesery.
A crab got a line, but not one of the main characters, who was there for 90% of the campaign.
Just say he became a great cheese baron, and call it a day. That alone would have satisfied most fans.
Not saying anything is louder than just saying a quick blurb.
@@Aschwartz14 Or even a 10 second message for the final battle. He could have phoned it in while walking Gregor, and it would have given us a sense of closure. D:
A 07 salute to one of the greatest D&D podcasts i've ever watched.
Gonna have to change a part of the description, there.
See you space cowboy.
You're gonna carry that weight.
My favorite part is Pamic singing at 2:05:55
Shit it’s hard to think this is over, like this show help get me back into D&D. Thank you all for such an awesome adventure
from beginning to end it has been an adventure I feel privileged to have seen, ty for sharing this amazing campaign, I look forward to the next.
Loved it and so going to miss this hilarious journey. It has been a great run and I will gladly watch through another campaign. If I may, I wanted to give my take on how the final battle would have been and I would like to hear people's thoughts on it as well as their own takes. Don't get me wrong, the final battle was awesome, but we all had ideas on what would happen and here is my idea of it.
Different take on the boss fight with The End (not the mechanic that The End had, no spoilers just encase). They complete their battle, reduce The End's hit points to zero. The realm begins to shake as The End howls in pain, body twitching, and victory is in their grasp. Then, a flash of light, and when it fades, The Unexpectables are on a dark platform above Alivast and the Attic, as the darkness slowly engulfs the Attic and the crystals. Laughter is heard from the End, familiar laughter. Coming out of the High District, comes this black dash that over takes The End, as the solar eclipse grows into a black sun. A familiar voice echoes over the city, "It is good to be back~. And I must say, my old ex-favorite toys are here to greet me~." Devouring The End and achieving a new form is Stillhavity. Stillhavity, "Thought you got rid of me? Thought you saved Orun? Well, you almost did. You see, you lot aren't the only ones with an aspect of that being!" Monty would explain that they can clearly see clerics, paladins, and even Orun Aasimir losing their powers across the city. Stillhavity, echoing across the city, "Guess it is time to stop giving those moronic clergymen the stolen power of Orun! Though, it is because of them that their God is dying! The fool should have just let me kill him! But you lot ruined it! Now, it is time I ruin you!" An encounter happens where the party is overwhelmed as below them, those who had the black tar like substance like Athtar explodes off of them and turns them into monsters, as a few appear on the platform and fights the party. Beaten and broken, the party is left helpless as Stillhavity laughs. Only (perception check and it makes sense for these two to pass) for Remy and Task to turn at the sound of flapping wings. Leading the charge of Silver Dragons is Borky on either Volo or Tarusk, don't know which would be funnier, screaming, Borky, "It's time to get Orky! It's time to get Borky! AHHHH!" Landing, more like falling, Borky lands next to the party and slashes a Stillhavity spawn. With either Remy or Task going at Borky for riding their friend into battle, Borky gives the party a speech to inspire them. With the party feeling their will rise, the Attic and the crystals shine brightly. Lys, "And you shall not do this alone! Alone!" Each one gaining new powers based off of their character development and the one shot sessions. They stand together against Stillhavity and his minions for the final battle.
Their gifts: Borky getting a Legendary Action to have an ally attack an enemy, based off of his accomplishments with the Orc tribes. Due to Lily's victory, Borky gets Totem Warrior's Bear effects with his level with his rage as well as his normal rage bonuses.
Remy, from the Merkz, he gains silver wings for a flight speed. He also gains a combat support ability, while flanking in the air with an ally, he suffers a minus 5 to the roll (so a minus 3 due to flanking), on a hit, both Remy and his ally will deal damage (no sneak attack), on a roll of 19, his ally gets a crit. This is due to his support with the group, always setting them up for victory in combat.
Panic, from Rat's victory, Catharsis gets an axe blade and becomes a 1d8+Charisma+1d4 Thunder damage melee weapon. And from his heritage, Panic can inflict only his enemies with Resin.
Task, from Obby's victory, gains the ability to have a fire dragon breath weapon, with the d6 recharge. And from his connection to Azra Sahar, can attack the same amount as she could in a turn with her extra attack.
And Greckles, from Seika and saving the elemental planes, the Sunblade does increased dice damage and he does 2d6 in fire damage with every attack he makes.
Ill miss you all, thank you for the years of adventures and laughs and tears. Remmy, Greckles, Task, Panic and even Borkky, from the bottem of my heart, thank you
This was such a fun ride. I am sad that it is over and excited for what comes next.
Its been fun. Time to completely restart the entire series.
Currently on ep.6 of the rewatching
New game plus
What a Journey it has been
I fell behind really early in the series, and look forward to finishing it. You guys told a very fun story and I hope to see another series at some point.
use me as "sad button" because your favorite character got lost into the void :/
Thanks for entertaing us for free through hard times both as players and dungeon master, Lani if you read this, your included, Jocat I haven't checked your campaign yet but I look forward to it.
No body ever wishes for a good story to end. But all stories must end eventually. However the good thing about the end is there is always a new beginning soon after. Thus Goodbye, look forward to when you see each other in the next story, be it as background characters, a cameo, or even part of the main cast.
Thanks everybody for weaving such a fantastic story.
Wow... the whole thing is over and Borky never came back.
I really wish broky was here for this! My heart is melting
i just cant unsee the borky sized hole in this episode
I heard what happened to taka, but what happened to Borky in story? Did he bugger off to make his cheesery?
I'm also wondering this. Maybe I just don't remember because it's been a hot minute but in universe he was just kinda gone out of the blue. Even Orion's character in Crit Role season 1 had closure of a sort and *he* was a drug addicted domestic abuser, allegedly.
Kinda wish he just died at this point...
Imagine them finding borky courpse, surrounded by a cyclone, propped up by the wind of raunfault, only for them to take the blade and learn that Icarus killed him.
@@krodmandoon3479 the in universe reason was reading the orcs and running his cheesery, it was mentioned in passing.
@@an8strengthkobold360 ok cool! So long as there's something. Honestly, that is perfectly fitting closure for Borky: An impressive job that will help him learn more about himself and something wacky that will inevitably be ridiculously successful.
@@AshBlossomWorshiper we might get an answer during the q and a they will have but i would take that with a grain of salt, considering how the mods were during the final stream.
"And helped increase their numbers" oh my God Jerry canononicly fucks
Man haven't watched in years but thank you all for the memories ♡
I am SO GOD DAMN sad Borky is not here.
I get that Taka is doing his own thing, but it really upsets me that he couldn't make time for the last episode.
@@FrankandRaul Yeah, I get it that he's busy with other stuff, but man we missed out on many Borky shenanigans before this episode, especially with the death of a certain kobold.
@@kotaro07 I was expecting at the point of the wedding the doors get broken down and with a mighty roar the party hears “I DO NOT OBJECT!!!” And borky walks in with a beard and a mighty moustache
Yeah me too. I would’ve been happy with some thing in the epilogue. Period
Since everyone is pretending he never existed, I just decided that my head cannon is that Borky actually never left. He fought on right up till the final fight, but died by the hands of the end. And like lys, he and all memory of him was wiped from existance.
Tha k you for this wonderful journey. I can't say how much I love you lot and Taka too. I've grown alongside ya for the last almost 5 years. And I look forward to future endeavors
This was a beautiful ending to a beautiful story. Each ending was touching.
Fucked up how yall just forgot borky:-(
The mods did not have to ban the word Borky or delete questions and bit drops during the stream, Monty or someone else could have made an announcement to not say his name or at least leave something in the chat to not bring him up
People did their best to explain in chat multiple times but people kept spamming Borky emotes and spamming "where's Borky? What about Borky?"
They better have refunded those that dropped bits. What a dick move on the mods part to delete bit messages.
Not just the streams, but even in these comments. Some of mine were muted. Particularly the ones where I mentioned that a 10-20 second message from taka for the final battle shouldn't have been too hard to put in for the final battle. : /
@@SS5Ghaleon They got enough of that in the stream of the episode itself. Seriously, if they haven't and won't speak of it, then it's most likely very personal and all parties involved may not want it spoken about. People have literally spammed stuff about Borky in comments here and in the streams, and spam is usually not tolerated even if people give bits.
