I need to know where you got that horse drawn carriage video trac for this traveling. I love that!

Dude you just reminded me.. I gotta do an honor mode run

Love the new starting soon screen

Actual title of this episode: _The paranoia is real._ Don't know if that was a sound alert 11 minutes in but wow was that loud! That was a surprisingly blood-light interrogation for this party. The _real_ crime was putting the campaign mascot in a bag 😱 but I mean, I guess he did technically live so.... Also. *Dragons.* Enjoyed the game, cheers!

That was touch and go for a while... especially when the bugbears showed up, they always give low levels trouble. Aaaaand lucky Glassstaff didn't use the _other_ scroll he had. 😱 But now, the _real_ MVP has appeared. The campaign is saved!! _...if he is allowed to live._ 😬 Enjoyed the game, cheers!

My mic audio gets better I promise! I've been having some technical difficulties but it should be fixed next episode! Thanks for your patience! 😁

3 minutes in, what are suprise attack dice? Did he mean sneak attack dice? You're allowing sneak attack dice on an unarmed strike? 🤔 "I have hitpoints now"? After that 1d4 hours of unconcious, Sorcerer would wake up at 1hp as you don't benifit from a short rest if unconcious... 😱 awful brave of you to go back into the manor you nearly died in _thrice_ with only 1hp ...but I don't know what variant of the rest rules you're using so maybe they're all healed up? If so, this next room will be _interesting._ 👀 "We figured out who the doppleganger was without hitting each other" did they?? Or do the players only _think_ they did?? Still confused on this. 🤔 I guess we'll find out if they meet another doppelganger, that's going to be _weird._ Thanks for the game, cheers!

Can't tell if the doppelganger reveal was anticlimactic or not... did they figure it out? Or did it just give up being concealed? Maybe I missed something. A lot more people going down in these lately, getting more dangerous 😱 thanks for the game, cheers!

Made it smaller this time eh? Wonder how that will play out. 🤔 Hmm. Now I can't remember anymore, did they go after the goblin trail? I don't think so... but Sildar is with them... hmm. Well, was suprised they didn't seem eager to finish Tressendar Manor, I mean sure it's dangerous- but Gundren, treasure, adventure! Pretty reluctant group this go, makes you wonder if they'll make it. 😱 Cheers!

Quick session this go. Audio killed a bit, rip headphone users 💀, but was bearable enough halfway in. Luckily it was mostly combat... not a fan of rushing cuz of time issues, but scheduling conflicts what can you do? Hope you guys don't gotta rush in future. Cheers!

Would have been truly dire if - as children, everyone played with commoner stats (plus racial abilities). But then, a snake swarm would have been lethal. 🤔 Speaking of... Uh... not to be too delicate but, *did the other kids get eaten by the giant snake?* We kind of just left them mid combat. I expected the trent to give powers that would help save the others or somthing but... kinda ended abruptly there. Maybe give players time to say goodbyes to, comment on session end? Just a thought. Cheers!

Mouthing the words while using telepathy, funny quirk. 😂 "In stone she weeps an angel's sorrow, guarding realms beyond the morrow, with wings that whisper, eyes that grieve, Unlock this passage the riddle conceive, In cryptic echoes the answer hides, where the past and future gently collides, speak the secret the angel shall sway, make her cry to reveal the way." Oh man vague riddles are the _worst...._ well let's see the first three lines are more poetry than they are riddle because the answer obviously would not have anything to do with what's being self-described. "unlock this passage the riddle conceive" _could_ be the most important context clue, or a trap for over thinking. On one hand, it could simple be descriptive like the first three lines: "answer the riddle to unlock the door" *but* the redundancy in last two lines, "speak the secret- reveal the way" which are also descriptive of "answer the riddle to unlock the door" _could_ point to the first instance being the crux, especially with the language utilizing emphasis to denote importance. That is to say the nature of using more poetic language would put more importance on this line than the other. Therefore, "unlock this passage of the riddle conceive" could point to the answer of the riddle is the concept of the riddle itself, which would lead one to interpret the answer to be "what this riddle is about" and as much of the riddle is blatantly descriptive of the angel - you might be forgiven if your most basal thought is: *"angel"* - however, as the word angel is repeated in the riddle itself, you would not be amiss to think that too easy. We therefore have to look at the context of the situation, this is guarding a crypt, thus it is something that wanted to keep grave robbers away and therefore it is not some very simple riddle for any to pass. Such as if this was a barrier to some children's portal of enjoyment- no, this is not a child's resturant crayon play mat- but a tomb, possibly with treasure but most certainly with loved ones that the creators of this riddle and trap did not want to be disturbed. As such the only further use we have of this line is to consider it a choice in concept, "unlock this passage of the riddle conceive" that is to say, the importance could be in the concept of the riddle itself. A weeping angel, beyond the morrow, past and future colide, cryptic echoes, grieve, cry, all would point to a proper "riddle answer like answer" to that which the riddle itself is about yet makes no mention directly in the riddle itself. Thus, the most likely answer, with only the naked riddle and context of the situation, would be: *Death* However, "In cryptic echoes the answer hides" may give some pause, as if the answer is plainly laid out but one must be familiar with not simply the body of the riddle itself and the context of the situation but the intention behind it. After all it is not enough to remember this is a crypt that is protecting loved ones and possibly treasure but also a place of remembrance and therefore wants people to access it. *but* only those people who have the _right_ to access it. That would indicate that this is not some challenge by a dungeon master towards heroes, not a trial to overcome by testing intelligence to then reveal treasure but rather something a family has laid down so that their loved ones will be protected but also so that other loved ones can visit. The intimacy involved in this would suggest then that the answer to the riddle is something that is a "known quantity" but only by those the builders intended to know. Leading us to the lore... Why does the angel weep? Because of the loss within this crypt. What secret would make her sway or cry? Well speaking the existence of her itself "angel" does nothing but recognize the nature of the riddle; speaking "death" only recognizes the context and the concept, therefore in conclusion to speak a passcode that is known to those who want to know (or it be known) one must look at *family.* This is a crypt after all, in which the answer echoes, leading us to the only contextual clues given about those who built, those within, and those who want in. Thus, the third level of thinking brings us to, "whose." Why is the Angel crying? For those Within. Who built it? Those who care. Who is resting there? The beloved deceased of a family. What then _is_ that family name all who would care and dare to enter? The same family of those within who _know._ THEREFORE. My final conclusion and the answer I would speak to save my life: *Tresendar.* Now since I paused to ponder and answer, let's see if I would live! . . . *I WOULD HAVE FUCKING DIED.* You didn't have to speak anything, you had to physically do somthing, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO SAY SHIT, you had to DO a thing! Unless this is one of those multiple solutions to a riddle things, in which case the crayon mat answer fixated on 'past and future colide' in that one line would make the door open hence sway- YER BOY WOULD STILL BE A DEAD MAN 💀 💀 💀 woooooo!! _aaaaauuuuggghh vague riddles are the woooooorst...._ You wrote this yourself, didn't you?

Baby Faenya!

I hope to see more of this

How was that an hour!? 😭 Alright, you might have to make these *three hours* long, I know, I know, it's a lot, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. 😂 Good to see the team able to hold their own, for now. Still I wonder if they'll ever get to the cave, doesn't Gundren still need saving? 🤔 or will the party have to save themselves first? Thanks for the game, cheers!

Going off the rails on this one! 😱 There is so much happening it's hard to keep straight but, did we forget about Gundren? 🤔 With Sildar poisoned, I know it was a 'get to phandalin' thing, but didn't even talk about going back and looking for him, even though they knew about the path northward. Then again Ruffians and Orcs kind of throws a wrench in everything doesn't it? And is this still level 1? The pace may have been slow (but I'm here for the cozy anyway) but you really don't know what's gunna happen next! Thanks for the game, cheers!

Welcome back, going through the Obelisk version eh? AND modified? Well, first off, issues with audio. DM & BG fine, but ALL the players were a little quiet. Some low enough they struggled against the BGM, especially if they whispered. It seems your camera insert was slightly off too, you have a black bar above you of dead space- unintentionally, I think. ***Glad you noticed, but just in case.*** -- Also, just a tip: call the players by their *character name,* helps audience memorize and helps with immersion if that's important. Now for the fun stuf... Bugbear Fighter, Teifling Monk, Teifling Sorcerer, Centaur Druid eh? Eclectic. Wonder how having a large character will affect things? 🤔 Make yer bets, who will ride the centaur first? My money's on the sorcerer, but it'll definitely be a teifling. Going the Isekai method of food description eh? You don't even pull the arrow out of her leg before you set up cooking camp- "An injured centaur fell in front of us? Better eat!" 😂 Did all that venison lying there helpless and bleeding make you all hungry? 🤣🤣 Real swerve with the first encounter too, clever to witness the _event_ rather than just aftermath. Better than a goblin ambush? 🤔 Fighter mvp this go- zaaaaaam, save some for the rest of them! Looking forward to more! Starting a new campaign is always exciting, but I will miss the misses. Nothing beats the cozy couple vibe. Gotta say, was real hard avoiding temptation with all the BG3 streams... but gotta avoid spoilers! 😭 Cheers!

I love love love this content style. Lots of channels doing mechanical builds, and that's tons of fun! But I would really enjoy seeing more of sharing backstory ideas with the community to keep the creative juices flowing!

Audio problems as well as camera options will be fixed for episode 2 😉 I appreciate your support as I traverse these issues!

Hope you enjoy the game a lot it’s my first play through and I’m 250 hours in because I have tried a lot of things and reloaded a lot. The completion habits kicking in even though it’s impossible to do everything in one play through. Have fun and a great day. 😊

Do you have HDR on? It looks like maybe you have it calibrated wrong or something because the game looks very washed out and a bit too bright. Just trying to be helpful so obviously disregard if you like it that way or don't care!

Im starting with dnd and found that really nice!

Crits & coffee huh 🤔 solid combo

A super fun concept! I always enjoy the concept of a person trying to escape from a criminal past. Also fun as it can lead to some conflict where he might not want to do some stereotypical rogue things for the party. Really fun idea and great video, I might use some of it for my next character!

Realize I made some editing errors in here but I hope you enjoy nonetheless!
