[@WeDoAIStuff]

It was not only incredibly fun playing out this combat, but also extremely interesting to see how a character's plan can go down the drain if the 'dice gods' are against them!.. If you enjoyed this episode, it would be awesome if you considered supporting the channel on Patreon! Not only will you be helping me get closer to spending much more time on this crazy endeavour, but you'll also get access to all releases 1 week early!

I don't know the actual rules concerning Tronald's cheese but that and the displacement porting seems a bit much at that level

Celestial made a key error of not making herself look like Tronald, this would’ve nullified Rawwr as a threat as he would never attack his precious Tronald

[@kallisti425]

I'm so pumped for this series. As a career DM and player, I feel like this is some top-notch storytelling that highlights how fun and flexible the system can be. Thanks to the crew for everything they do.

Joe’s Bear sound is brilliant. Gets me every time 😂

[@sylusdraven2730]

Omg the bear is awesome. Was laughing so hard lol

[@porterjames904]

Would be more of an even match up if Tronald & Raarh were on separate teams, though I don't know emotionally if they could handle that

[@Butterb0ne]

Tronald/Saxi v the others. Both teams arguing with each other may overshadow the fight 😄

Saxiron casting Firebolt from underwater and then immediately complaining about the Burning Hands. Classic D&D right there :D

[@TeddyMcgiggles]

Its such a D&D move for Saxiron to complain/point out that Tronald's Burning Hands spell shouldn't be able to effect him because he's underwater literally right after he himself cast Firebolt at Raarh from under the water...

[@MrAlexanderLeonidasM]

Never a dull moment when Tronald speaks. Well done, Tronald.

It’s been a few days but I’ve caught up with this series and I can’t stop watching them Let’s go team Raahr and Tronald! “We shall whittle his cheese down until he has none left to churn” - Saxy “You will never diminish my 🧀” - Tronald the 🐐

I saw this thumbnail and had to rejoin the campaign. I am working on episode 10. I have a lot to watch, but it is still as great as ever!

[@GiacomoSorbi]

Recap: Tronald unleashed both the cheese factory and Raarh: Saxi and Celestia did not stand a chance against that combo, so they did well to last so many rounds!

[@stfuemokid101]

would have helped if saxiron used his new 21AC armor....

[@WeDoAIStuff]

His AC was 21 😜 The hits he received were never below 21 to hit, it just wasn't represented by his stat block as that was his 'base' AC without the armour donned

[@dweebie]

Although magical fire does work underwater because there's no rules against it, all creatures submerged in water have resistance to fire damage, so Tronald shouldn't have been able to deal that much damage. Either way, great video lmao.

[@Mrryn]

Was about to say this. Also, to comment on Saxiron's attempted Booming Blade on Tronald and Raarh's swing onto Saxi while he was in the water, those attacks would be made at disadvantage because of neither were using piercing weapons (i.e. spears, tridents) or have a swim speed.

[@dweebie]

@@Mrryn I noticed that as well, but some people ignore the underwater disadvantage rules, it just felt weird to make a point that fire spells can be used underwater but ignore the fact that the damage should be halved. Also, Saxiron should have been unable to swim to Tronald without dashing as he doesn't have a swim speed so he would have to use up 2 feet of movement for every 1 foot he moved, thus meaning he could only make it half the distance.

[@Mrryn]

@@dweebie Also unrelated but there was the round where Celestia blast Raarh with Guiding Bolt even though she used Healing Word on herself in the same round.

[@dweebie]

@@Mrryn did she? I thought those were different turns.

@@dweebie Right at 10:00

[@j.v.hammer7804]

Tronald and Raarh didn't even have to sweat 😂

[@malicharton4403]

Btw,those combat session are amazing,you should put more of them!amazing work as always

[@nyanbrox5418]

The fact that Saxiron cheated with temp hps, Celestia ignored disadvantage on guiding bolt from being in melee with a hostile bear while attacking Rawr, but also Joe ruling that water doesn't give you resistance to fire damage and gaslighting Saxiron saying there was nothing in the rules about it Honestly this is about how my D&D games go too, the final outcome however was not defined by these rules mishaps, it didn't end up mattering

[@WeDoAIStuff]

🤣 yep, the DM and players forgetting things just makes it even more realistic I guess!

[@urhamlet2]

The class distribution in this fight was not fair. Wiz/Barb was always going to win. Sad for Saxy but greatness is earned…

[@WeDoAIStuff]

Exactly!.. The accomplishment (risk/reward) wasn't that big for Tronald and Raarh... But imagine the clout if Saxy/Celest pulled it off!..

[@garylewis1431]

Agreed. Poor Celestia wasn't given the choice of partner but agreed to the match. Saxi (artificers, in general in my opinion) is a support member of the party. A vital role, but he isn't going to best tronald or rahr in a battle. I doubt Celestia and Saxi combined could beat either of their companions and together its not even a contest. Then again I always play spellcasters or spellcaster/martial combatant multiclasses so I'm probably biased.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Another awesome episode! A fun idea having them fight each other!

[@WeDoAIStuff]

Thanks! 😁 it's a good way for them to let off some steam!

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

@@WeDoAIStuff You are welcome! Indeed! haha

[@taelok]

6:36 That's not how Faerie Fire works, Saxi, it affects the targets in the area if they fail their DEX save and then for the duration they remain affected no matter where they move. Tronald cannot "move out of the area it's affecting".

[@psusac]

The number of rules mistakes are many: No concentration checks were rolled when anyone took damage. When Tronald took a booming blade hit, he should have taken additional damage when he moved on the following turn. The burning hands should have done half damage to Saxyron because he was in the water. Fun to listen to though.

[@WeDoAIStuff]

Booming blade was shielded in the end, but all the other ones yeah, I missed them - that's what happens when you're overworking yourself I guess, I'll look into dropping down to 1 ep every 2 weeks or something when it comes to battles in the future, too much to do with the time I have in just a week :/

[@bullywag]

My only complaint is that there is only 1 ep per week...this series is awesome.

[@eueuueuee1]

That potent sure made all the difference!! Great bout! I'm curious here! The battle unraveled in an interesting and engaging way. Did you actually roll those dice as you went through it or did you decide those on your own to reach the ending you thought would be better?

[@WeDoAIStuff]

They were actually rolled! I was tempted to switch a couple of things up as I felt saxy was having a super rough time, but then I thought nah - as I wanted to keep it true to the dice!

[@SteelDragon78]

What program are you using for the battleground? I need a good TTRPG virtual table app for my groups game please.

[@d100sanityloss7]

Been curious why Raarh reactivates his rage so often? According to the basic 5e rules rage lasts 1 minute and a combat round is only 6 seconds, so a single activation of his rage should last 10 rounds. But it seems when in combat he reactivates it every two rounds or so.

[@WeDoAIStuff]

If you don't get attacked or make an attack before the start of your next turn, your rage fades 😁

Faerie Fire isn't an area effect, it targets creatures in an area and then is left on them. Love the show! Edit: Underwater combat does have a section stating fire damage is resisted while fully immersed, but I've had dms claim that in their games they went the same way as in here.

[@Butterb0ne]

If water can't extinguish magic fire, the magic fire shouldn't create steam.

[@WeDoAIStuff]

why? I don't see a reason why an extinguishable flame wouldn't be able to produce enough heat to evaporate water :p

[@Butterb0ne]

I'm using real world logic, not fantasy. If water extinguishes flame by sucking out the heat, and magic flame isn't affected, then I would think it wouldn't absorb heat to create steam. But the rules in a fantasy world don't have to follow that logic.

[@WeDoAIStuff]

Ah I see what you mean! Yeah, it's always weird when it's 'up in the air' about what to do, but I almost always go the most immersive of the two ways if given a choice 😁
