"Heal a Rogue, and He'll probably die tomorrow. Teach a Rogue to heal himself, he might last 2 days."

[@DemonDarakna]

3 hours to open an account ... the realism is breathtaking.

[@Obstreperous_Octopus]

First there's a mix up with the ID, then you have to straighten out you new address with them, devils from hell try to kill you and your friends, they have to call management-- and they don't even tell you what that's about... It's just one thing after another, isn't it?

[@DemonDarakna]

honestly, had worse XD

[@jirojhasuo2ndgrandcompany745]

yeah but in the "In-Game" time it could probably be just 5 to 10 minutes

[@johncreekpaum4998]

35 minutes to get out of the theater. 30 minutes riffing on how almost dead Viari is instead of continuing on the mission or healing Viari. There is no more realistic DnD stream out there.

Chris Perkins' commitment to the bit is such that he will drop a whole pre-written musical number mid-line because a PC said something that couldn't fail to grab the singer's attention.

That has to be the single best setup for a "Roll initiative" line I've ever heard in my life. I love so much that Chris wrote an entire song and dance number for the bankers, and then just immediately stopped mid-line and had them all attack when Strix said she didn't have any money.

I can never do panels or anything because I run a board game booth at the WSCC for conventions, so it was a great end to my weekend. =) Really nice guy.

[@Qwentar]

And he had all his clothes on? Oh, wait: I'm thinking of Viari.

[@klemminguk]

So that went a little off script at the- well, every single point. I think this'll teach Omin a lesson about teaching Viari a lesson by not healing him when he tries to pickpocket the DM.

[@Caitlin_TheGreat]

My only quibble with the Acq Inc. games from PAX is that they always seem to end so abruptly. If there could have been a second day to wrap up what started here we may have still gotten some sort of "heist" experience when they went deeper, though it certainly took on more of a smash-n-grab tone. Chris seemed to have had enough planned for a 6 hour plus experience, which makes sense because he had no idea how quickly they may have blown through it or maybe found a way to bypass some. And I wish we could've seen more -- though I get that the whole presentation takes a buttload of work from behind-the-scenes people who are probably glad it was only 3 hours.

[@klemminguk]

Given that the plan was presumably for them to talk their way in with Strix as their wealthy customer, I think Chris had to wing pretty much the entire session. The DM's plan never survives an encounter with the players, but this whole thing was probably supposed to be done within the first hour.

[@nigelbaboolal5072]

Yea, i think he probably prepares for just the right amount of time he has, just in case the players dont majorly derail it, which always happens. I mean, viari having 1 hp the entire game, shrinking. Viari and jim shitting the bed on recon. All of that probably ate up most of his time. When he put the tiefling right under the chandelier, im pretty sure he wanted Patrick to end it there. So this game was probably just suppose to be them getting in there, and robbing it, than a little more storey/exposition. I assume the next game is going to be the Castlenters retribution.

[@Bakamoichigei]

Well, at the end, they'd reached the same point; with Strix getting an account at the bank...which was the second step of their plan. (The first being to find the bank itself, and gain the access they needed to get Strix an account.) The difference is they ended up taking the _hilarious hijinks and tomfoolery_ route instead of the serious heist route. As I understand it, they're picking up where this left off at _PAX Unplugged._

[@nigelbaboolal5072]

@@Bakamoichigei I thought they were suppose to use Stryx getting an account as a rouse to get in, and than rob the place. Going through all that just to get the account seems counter productive if they are going to probably have to go through it again to rob them. They would basically just be restarting the encounter for them to rob the place. I'm assuming that they are just going to start with some exposition about what happened between this and them sitting in their offices playing darts or something like getting ready to plunder the underdark or the grand opening of their floating thingamabob, and than getting ready to defend against the casselanters.

[@Bakamoichigei]

+Nigel Baboolal Well, the place is supposed to be a secret, so to even get to the point where they could get Strix in they had to make it past the apothecary's facade and talk to the person in charge......a task which Omin's _'Best People'_ did a masterful job of totally screwing up. 😂 From there, things devolved further when Strix said she had no money...because the party went from 'annoying, but still a prospective customer and her representatives' to 'clearly just some troublemakers'. (I like to imagine the musical number ending abruptly with a harsh record scratch and _"...roll initiative."_ 😂) I do agree though, having had that devolve into a full-blown combat encounter, it would seem like it could be slightly redundant to then go ahead with the rest of the heist next session... (Though I have faith that Chris can make whatever's planned interesting, and the party can make whatever happens--planned or otherwise--wholly entertaining.) That said, the idea of jumping straight to the opening of _Ocean's 12,_ with everybody off doing their own thing and the success of their heist coming back to bite them on the ass and force them to pull another job, is certainly interesting.

so my biggest take-aways were Omin's trip to the soul broker. since that was my favorite parts, and I should hope that it was the favorite part of many others, here are some timestamps part 1: 1:59:11 part 2: 2:20:13

[@MrViking69]

***Spoiler*** It's funny how Omen leaves hell after getting fireballed by Jim only to arrive just in time to get fireballed by Jim..

[@fierceditiesnaruto]

I swear that Jim should develop an immunity to Succubi kissing if this keeps up! XD

[@Troommate]

Damn Omin is BRUTAL!!! XD

[@Viper3220]

I expected him to hold it together until the elevator doors closed

This is a Beetles' Song! "I got a chicken to ride! And it's OKAY!"

Clone Jim was adventuring with Bag of Nails?! HE LIVED, I KNEW HE WOULD! LONG MAY HE LIVE! 😄😄

[@wolfsbane1293]

A great addition to the saga as always

[@AlexxDaviess]

James Winifred Darkmagic - loving the new look

[@VijoPlays]

I have to admit, the picture they took at the end makes a lot more sense now... It's not just a celebration for a decade of DnD, it's also [Acqusitions Incorporated: Switcharoo spoilers] the last time Perkins DMd for them live.

[@HuevoBendito]

Oh god, I've been watching these guys for a decade now.

[@andrewjohnson1454]

That almost fireball noise made me clap out load

[@J3Puffin]

This reminds me soooo much of how it feels to be behind the wheel of one of these things sometimes. Games go so many ways...

[@klatter9288]

How I've waited for this.. that intro tho! 😂 just started.. Edit: Jim Darkmagics outfit.. ha...haha!..🤓😂😄

[@therealMrPinky123]

GREEN FLAME!

[@VidellaBean]

I met Chris Perkins in the line before the game and asked him if I'd get to use my Green Flame foam finger at all, and he's like "Hmmm, I don't actually know" And he threw in SO many!

[@yugiohsc]

Strix has been trained by the master Perkins for so long Jim can’t compete xD

[@lordvile1209]

true, very true, she knows her shit, jim is still the guy playing 4e over a decade later.

[@austinmull8515]

@@lordvile1209 4e is superior in my opinion.

[@lordvile1209]

you uneducated troglodyte! kneel before the might of 5e!

[@johncreekpaum4998]

@@lordvile1209 Meh, Holly plays a lot more often than Mike.

[@djinnisequoia]

Oh, that was so much fun. I really enjoyed it. Don't know what I'll do when I've watched/listened to them all.

[@muxaxete]

Just one hour and I already consider this the greatest Acq Inc show of all time

[@platinumpaunch4528]

Oh my god. The Omin Dran and Jim Darkmagic costumes were all I needed.

[@jasonhawkins8022]

I look forward to seeing these every year!

[@bodieaguirre7440]

Finally!!! It felt like forever sense they came out with a new one

[@stephensmith7098]

20 min in, Viari gets stabbed for 64 total damage for a failed pickpocket he didnt even get to roll for, I think Chris is finally getting a bit fed up with that Patrick Rothfus bull shit that we all love to see

[@A_Brit]

GOD YES! I've waited a year for this!

[@mythyc9604]

Oh, the wait is over! Let's go adventurin' :D

[@travisdicks3773]

2:04:31 and sudenly Omin's paperwork fetish makes sense. He's a cleric

[@Raythe]

....that....that took you a decade to pick up on?
