While I love CR, I have to say this campaign is by far the best representation of d&d played by a group of friends and mark has absolutely smashed the custom setting. I absolutely adore the series and am enthralled by every interaction, keep doing what you’re doing guys. Best series imo.
It's endlessly amusing to me how Xan is the character doing the magical identifying for the party, while simultaneously being the one flirting with forbidden magic... It's just impossible for him to go "yeah this is safe" without sounding suspicious af even if it's true 😂
I doubt they can see this, and they may know this already, but speak with animals can be cast as a ritual without using a spell slot. Not everyone can, but some classes (druids, wiz, etc.) get the ability to do it, and there is also a feat (Ritual Caster). Druids will need to have the spell prepared to cast it as a ritual, and it still requires all other spell requirements, but this will allow you to give him the ability to speak to the animals without draining your slots away.
@@jayogilvie8353 improbable, but not impossible... SPOILERS for Legend of Vox Machina (and CR campaign 1) ahead: IF Percy is _Percy_ it could be this is an alternate timeline where Vox Machina failed to defeat the Chroma Conclave which over generations evolves into what Ilmera is today. With Vox Machina out of the picture this could also lead to Vecna being successful in achieving godhood, becoming the Grave Father over time and the House of Blood being the continuation of the Briarwoods - making Percy being _Percy_ extra tragic! do I think this is the case? no. was this fun to think about? yes! but hay, that's just a theory! A D&D Theory!
Trott is right. Knackered means tired but a colloquial meaning or thought origin was specifically tired from sex. Buggered is something else entirely haha.
There was an episode this week? I tuned in at the usual time, but there was no stream?!?! So, pleasantly shocked to see this, and disappointed I missed whenever it aired.
Oh dear. I often wonder how players balance sticking to the story with meta gaming. I knew something was off about that character as soon as she ordered everyone else out of the mine.
I just realize something sad about myself. I have more empathy for a dragon than I do for a humanoid pc. I am genuinely more worried about the green dragon getting corrupted than I am about rowan who is in an arguably more dangerous situation. I guess that says something about me as a person lol
Hey what of trots character rowan is a musician because he controlled the music in the last campaign so in this won he makes the music (also does trot still control the music)
Still can't get over ophelia wearing chain mail when she can't in mechanic and physical senses. Love the ep tho, keep up the great work and sorry for the complain can't help it tho
@@BalthasarGelt-x2dyeah, she not proficient in it which she will have disadvantage on all Strength and Dexterity roll. Not only that her speed will be reduced cause her strength doesn't meet a requirements, also she can't rage or cast spell if she wearing heavy armor. She a barbarian and warlock as clearly shown, barbarian have proficiency in light and medium armor as well shield, and warlock have proficiency in light armor. Tho she can still wear it but with a cost. Sorry that i'm stickler to the rule cause it made senses to me
@@lovetilldeath5402 I’m pretty sure everyone is aware of this in the HR team but Mark has always said that he will always bend the rules if it makes characters more balanced/fkavourful. Ophelia is a dex barbarian so I reckon Mark is doing this to make Ophelia not suck mechanically. Also he lets her cast spells while raging.
She stopped wearing it, realised we had made a mistake and just removed it. this episode she gives it to Percival. Mistakes happen, it's not a big deal.
Thanks for mentioning the Live tab. I've been waiting for the live show vod to be uploaded, then when it wasn't I thought aw, it's member only... Nope, I only found the live tab last week 🥹 thanks for trolling, yt

I love both highrollers and the dungeon dudes. Imo the best d&d groups. It feels authentic. Can't believe how many years I have watched highrollers
Comparison is the thief of joy.
CR has become too commercial and lost their way.
While having covid has sucked, it has meant I have been able to watch Altheya from the beginning and am now up to date!
It’s tough being up to date! You can’t binge any more!
@peppermint9777 yeees it's the worst 😢
@@peppermint9777 lol there is that but tbh I would never have had to time to binge it if I hadn't been ill!
This got uploaded right as I caught up with the other episodes. Perfect timing!

What a gorgeous gang! Rhi's style is on point and Trott reminds me a bit of Kerry Eurodyne from cyberspunk 2077. Bangin' episode!
YAY, full party!

every time Percy's name is dropped, I can't help but think of Percival Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III
and its him ... maybe ? Could be right.
Every time I hear Percival Fredrickstein Von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III, I think of rolo candy.

Huzzah!
Absolutely LOVE Rhi's outfit in this episode!!!
After a year of watching high rollers from the start of Lightfall I've finally caught up!
ANTI SPOILER BARRIER
Verily, thou art quintessential!
Thank you sir mis persone you are the best 🫡
Rhi went full Lilly Munster, and i love it. It looks great
Love this show. Thanks HR team!
Another fantastic episode!!! Can’t wait to see how Rowan gets out of this one!
Trott is right. Knackered means tired but a colloquial meaning or thought origin was specifically tired from sex. Buggered is something else entirely haha.
I thought it was to do with killing horses once they're past their usefulness. You send them to the knackers yard to be made into dog food and glue.
Always a barrel of laughter. Makes me miss my group.
That entire water scene is happening and “Uranium fever” is playing in my head
“Shy New Yorker” has got to be an oxymoron
Could the chest be converted to a fridge?
God I love this show
FOR THE EMPRESS!!!! FOR THE ALGORITHM!!!!!
FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!
@@odintheallfather6388 FOR THE GRAVE FATHER!!!
All hail the clever toad
That coat could be so useful
Honestly I would love to see more alien I thought it was great. Nice to meet Kim’s hubby too
I'm just going to say
Roderick is permanently stoned
Haha
🍀🍀 A very astute observation. Thou art now verily quintessensial
Man the NPC voices are just soo good. Such a good boi.

UK clocks did change this week, you may have been an hour too early. :P
It was an hour off due to daylight savings time in the UK, they do it on the last sunday in October.
So that green dragon is definitely getting loaded up with crownsteel by cultists
1:12:16 I almost died...
Everytime Mark says not the sharpest tool in the Ted I am filled with joy. I say that shit all the time.
great, now I gotta play altered beasts
Oh dear. I often wonder how players balance sticking to the story with meta gaming. I knew something was off about that character as soon as she ordered everyone else out of the mine.
I been watching aerois. Just killed bret and quill is a pirate.
"Let me see what you get..." first thought, dysentery.
I just realize something sad about myself. I have more empathy for a dragon than I do for a humanoid pc. I am genuinely more worried about the green dragon getting corrupted than I am about rowan who is in an arguably more dangerous situation.
I guess that says something about me as a person lol
I still cant believe Mark made a Ray Achievement Hunter reference. Not the sharpest tool in the Ted. Goddamn.
In before the birb!
Hey what of trots character rowan is a musician because he controlled the music in the last campaign so in this won he
makes the music (also does trot still control the music)
He has evolved. He is now an 8ft giant tuning fork
Incidentally, there's a webcomic called _Unlife_ that's from the perspective of a newly zombified young man.
Kuro and Shiro, nicw going Mark with the japanese
Oh shit!
Why does the party want or need an oubliette? They're the heroes, not the villains.
The rocks are what mark? The rocks are what!?!?
If anything bad ever happens to Penelope, I shall boycott all of the northern hemisphere.
democracy manifest!
Are the cameras mirrored or is majority of the group (Trott, Rhi and Katie) left handed?
Not mirrored no, they actually are left handed
Yay left-handed, explains why they're so creative. Maybe, it could be a myth... Now I have to look it up...
🔖 2:45:30

Anti-Spoiler Barrier?
Where's the birb :(
Did someone fart at @57:32 ???
