@@GreatZarquon I still found it very funny that Corazon was allowed to even though I know from using Astarion in combat that sneak attack is actually difficult to do; at least for me.

[@GreatZarquon]

@@SolaScientia he is a swashbuckler rogue, so he can do sneak attack if he is in a 1v1 melee fight... Though he massively abuses it and basically just calls sneak attack for all melee attacks lmao

[@happyofme]

@@SolaScientia You can get sneak attack by attacking an enemy that is adjacent to an ally, which tends to be the easiest way to set your rogue up for extra damage. I hope that helps! :)

My headcanon regarding the mace is that when everyone is revived, Egbert keeps tapping Merilwen with it for like 2 days until she goes back to wood elf.

Prudence’s immortality is very much up in the air, as far as we know they could’ve killed the curse bearer

[@unculturedswine1961]

​@adamire8310 I believe Johnny said they did not. That while it MIGHT not come back, he very much hinted that it was still alive and had gone back to where it had come from. If you remember during the fight, they said that it was older than religion when Egbert tried to do a paladin move. I very much doubt that that a bunch of level 8s, killed an ancient entity more powerful than liliana. He did say however that Prudences curse is up in the air as a result of *defeating* it

[@owenjames8575]

Dob will walk his corpse up a mountain and fall over again. His curse doesn't revive him, and the taxidermist is dead

Not really, she painted an enormous target on her forehead by going on an all out assault on corazon. Druids have so many cc spells, but she basically let her emotions get the better of her.

[@davidchristie6003]

I think Ellen just had a massive taste of what it is like to be Johnny. She was all set up and potentially the on-paper favourite. She arguably knows the rules the best and druids have lots options. However as we all now know, no best laid character sheet survives contact with the Oxventurers

​@@ramsay2234Honestly I only know about as much about DnD as the Oxventures. To me it looked like from previous adventure achievements she has the best build, except for the occasional Cora-nonsense

[@Torthrodhel]

@@goofyfurball7311 it's a fudge for sure, but I don't think "hide" necessarily has to mean ducking behind cover. It could mean something as simple as moving around in such a way as to cause opponents to underestimate you, effectively (even if not actually) blinding them to your position. The whole ruleset necessarily must be a bit fudgey in the first place or else it'd never cover all the situations it does with the kind of accessibility it has. Eh, I think for a game as unstrict a vibe as this one, that it's a fair compromise. Forgetting that cunning action's rogue-specific, however, is a bit more mistake than compromise, I think. Don't think that'd be deliberate, if they'd caught it. :) Not a complaint either way, just something I spotted and felt like saying.

[@bwilhelm8232]

*Immediately goes to the comments to see if anyone else points out that Merilwyn shouldn’t have been able to dash out of the Hunger of Hadar because bonus action dash is only a rogues thing*

[@ColonelHazard]

Johnny let multiple non-rogues get away with dash as a bonus action in this game. Between that and the BG3 shove, bonus actions are a bit unhinged now. But when have the Oxventurers ever cared about the rules, really? It's not what makes them entertaining (though my inner rules lawyer would be equally entertained by watching them have to abide by all the rules for once).

[@Tickerbee]

My money is on: 5th: Egbert. Has high melee damage and the ability to close the distance with Misty Step, but since Mike is playing him he's going to favour riskier and funnier strategies like his bombs and using improvised weapons, the advantage of this strategy is that the others are going to underestimate him so he might be able to score at least one kill. 4th: Dob. Lower melee damage and limited spell range, but in a duel with Egbert, Dob might have an edge with his esoteric spell usage. 3rd: Merilwen. Strong damage across the board, decent mobility and a wide range of spells, but I suspect Wild Shape is going to make her one of the biggest targets because of the obviousness of how powerful she is. If the others underestimate her I could easily see Merilwen scoring the win. 2nd: Prudence. rudence has the highest damage potential and will most likely start out extremely aggressive. Like Merilwein, she needs to make sure she doesn't draw too much attention but if given the opportunity to cook, Hunger of Hadar and Summon Greater Demon and similar combined with the long range of Agonizing Blast + Eldritch Spear might give her the win. 1st: Corazon. Being a Rogue, numbers alone with Sneak Attack damage and his many ways of mitigating incoming attacks give him a massive edge. Since it's Corazon, my reckoning is that he'll remain hidden at the start of the fight and then move into a one on one duel towards the end. Corazon likes to favour showy performances so this risk might lose him the win if he doesn't play it safe early on.

[@SirStanleytheStumbler]

If Egbert actually reads his character sheet he resists spell damage. So Mike actually reading is an X factor to consider.

[@Tickerbee]

Of all of them, Egbert is the biggest wild card for sure. If he reads his sheet I would maybe put him above Dob and possibly Merilwen.

[@SirStanleytheStumbler]

@@Tickerbee ya Corazon is the damage threat for sure.

[@SirStanleytheStumbler]

@@Tickerbee also Corazon has a shortbow he never uses as Ellen pointed out in the body swap episode.

[@Bluessoulphoenix]

OMG I forgot about this!!

[@nihkhdtigerson1599]

Also would Corazon feather fall do enough damage on landing to even take 1 point of damage off. Prudence also had many outs on her way down though must have been too shocked to work them out. x:x

I think the implication was Corazon did feather fall too early and so it wore off before he landed because he died too.​@@nihkhdtigerson1599

[@LegendaryTalesandTrails]

Even feather fall lasts a minute. Technically Corazon wouldn’t even die. Heck with feather fall he also had plenty of time to drive his saber on the mountain side and hang on. I think they kinda wanted to go they all die route.

[@ArDeeMee]

They kinda all forgot that Egbert got explodinated due to his bombs, and declared the ground to be explosive. 🧨

[@ceunkun5931]

Yeah, Merilwyn might had chance to win this if She accept an alliance from Dob & Corazon but She had to much pride in it and keep focusing on Corazon, if She agreed and should do just like Dob said, Dob (while controling Egbert) and Corazon will change and focus their attacks on Prudence instead.

[@SolaScientia]

I lost it at Prudence's eyes going wide at Corazon's 20 damage to Merilwen. I was not expecting Dob straight out of the gate with Crown of Madness on Egbert. I'm starting to think, being just barely into the fight, that they maybe do know their characters well. ...I spoke too soon as soon as Mike interrupted with how he's reading it for the first time. Never mind about them knowing their characters all that well. I swore when Egbert rolled 6 on Merilwen. The imagery this one is creating is perfect. I love imagining them all spotting Corazon attempting to hide. I love everyone knowing the mechanics better just because of BG3. "Please, get wrecked" I love that line. Oh dang, I did not expect Merilwen to get taken out like that. Wow. I hadn't realized that no one damaged Prudence at all. I also love them all suddenly hiding how many hit points they have left. Corazon's speech had me wheezing. Then a murder-suicide attempt except Corazon betrays them is absolutely the most in-character thing for him and also seriously underhanded. I love it. Oh man, I did not expect that from Dob. This was an absolute blast.

[@voidstar6353]

i mean i don't disagree but.. so was Egbert who was slept and didn't have a chance to defend himself on the way down, and in a way Corazon as well because feather fall when active negates fall damage. The thing with PvP in DnD is that everyone has cheesy and broken things that can make even The toughest enemy die in humiliating ways its part of the fun.

[@haravikk]

Fun silly session! A few rules things though: - You can't hide if the people you're hiding from can see you doing it - you need something to hide behind or darkness or whatever. - BG3 changed a *lot* from the main D&D rules, so bonus action shove isn't actually a thing - Shove is a special type of attack you can make. - Hunger of Hadar is a sphere of blackness so nobody can see in or out (except maybe with Devil's Sight on a Warlock). You need to see to make attacks of opportunity. - Standing up from prone costs half your movement, it's not a bonus action. - Someone please remind Mike he doesn't need to cast Cure Wounds to heal, he can Lay Hands to cure more HP more easily, he only needs to Cure Wounds once that runs out. - Prudence should have spider climbed at the end! But it wouldn't be Oxventure without playing fast and loose with the rules, just things to keep in mind!

[@weneedaladder8384]

I was hoping that's what she was doing when she walked over to the fathomer's corpse, since she'd need freshly-killed-humanoid blood.

[@orbitalcobra2566]

Man Merylwin was my bet to win. That was unfortunate.

[@toymachine2328]

Everyone else's bet to win, too, that's why she was the first target.

[@ArDeeMee]

I was kinda hoping for Egbert and his dumb luck… ^^

[@FlamingoSandwich]

Did the Fathomer pop out of thin air or a thick bear?

[@kcollier2192]

Congrats to Andy for doing the most "It's what my character would do" move ever in Oxventure history. Corazon is as devious as he is combat averse.

[@sebastianwlodarczyk]

No spoilers, but the ending is absolutely epic:D More spoilery bit below: It's a real shame we haven't seen Merilwen going full Neutral, I feel like, given the chance, Ellen would kicked their butts... Kudos to her adapting on a dime to the role of Fathomer though!

Mexico selects Egbert as its champion

[@paperip1996]

Listening to the podcast uploads of the old episodes at work. Tower Rangers Part 1: Dob: If Eggbert is dead we need recover the body to bury him in accordance with the wishes of Vache Mauve. Corazon: Throw him off a cliff?

[@adting2241]

Ha! I instantaneously knew Corazon would use feather fall! How did they not guess that?? Since when has he played not to his advantage hahaha

[@mad8598]

As Corazon plummeted elbow first onto Dob he should have cried “THIS IS FOR THE ORPHANS!”

[@BadAtPickingUsernames]

Completely unrelated: I just watched Andy’s Senu clip and years later it is still one of my favourite bits on any of your channels. “I can see people!!?!”. He should play the part again in a one off oxventure episode. “Bayek, I’m freakin out!”

[@Advent04Children]

Any chance you remember which video of theirs that was from? I've been looking for days.

[@BadAtPickingUsernames]

@@Advent04Children I saw it on “Show of the weekend: best bits of 2018”.

[@kaushtubhchauhan]

​@@BadAtPickingUsernamesit's up there alongside That elevator bit

[@orthusgames9888]

Honestly that was the perfect ending. Corazon pulling a total dick move just to have dob anti it and finished with a crazy ass elbow drop and a draw. I think that almost perfectly describes this party to a "T"

[@jacobsarvis]

This should be annual if the party has leveled up substantially.

[@shannonbennetts]

Ooof really tough call, but those wild shape hit points not effecting your main hp is nothing to sniff at.

[@writeonshell]

Alls fair in love and pork products 😂😂

[@karichhoy]

LMAO That was so chaotic. Definitely went differently than I expected. I loved it! That was great fun. ❣❣

[@davidmorris6707]

Time to paint some minis and watch this!

[@BENch_Gaming44444]

Egbert finally uses his Paladin powers!

[@elhijodepepe]

Dob: "Does this make us nerds?" Me: LOL!!

[@RealNinjaTimeKeepa]

The ending of this was perfect lol. Absolutely perfect.

[@anariel_peredhil91]

I was almost screaming at the falling Prudence! Reach for the Mountainwall and use Spiderclimb! xD

[@jenb7780]

They all improved simply by playing Baulder's Gate 3, lol. I love this competition!

0:54 tubular pig solid in a prison of wheat.

[@gamepassghost]

It makes perfect sense Dob and Corazon went in on a protective pact. If they pass away how will their scrying orbcast about DCOMs continue? That is of course, the fairly popular Dunwich Channel Of Meats serials. Such gems as you lucky dog, and horse sense; both huge in the druid community. 😂

[@NecroGrin]

I was waiting for Prudence to angle herself back toward the mountain while falling and use Spider Climb to cling to the rock and scramble up to the top. Totally could have won it! Oh well. Gratz Corazon! And also JUSTICE FOR MERILWEN!
