Dice Friends - Dragon's Orders Ep4

[@_Max_Fan]

42:15 Dale: Surely flour isn't flammable. Kathleen: It's incredibly flammable. Dale (sarcastically): Oh, I should have researched that. bahahahaha.

[@rhisccth4094]

It really took me up to the beginning of this session to realise that it is the flour tower and not the flower tower. Kind of misunderstood that. Seemed to be a nice name :D

[@rhisccth4094]

@ImAlways Joking Glad I could help :D

[@TheNerdySimulation]

Another great episode! Dale had me chuckling with the Righteous Principals and their "table talk" a pretty great amount, but also him "Jimming" the camera a few times throughout the episode was pretty funny. Everyone did a pretty great job roleplaying their character (as always) but especially with the tired aspect that I think many players forget adventurers would be experiencing after having done so much in one day.

[@Snowy123]

Extra points to Dale for making the combat interesting with the table talk and I like how he has directed the narrative that our group is evil. If you look at it superficially we are evil, we've got demons, we're helping an evil dragon. I'm sure all "evil" people think they're doing the righteous thing.

[@Nirovax]

I can see it on the tourism poster now: "Welcome to Chult. The beer is also bugs."

[@Kifford]

Xavorin probably the most direct the tourism board has ever been.

[@sirshaggeh6205]

Dale is SUCH a great helper.

[@MsFeyCreature]

Morra: "The small one!" Pause Snak: "No!" Annnd I'm dead.

[@sohoidoda6592]

pls never stop Dice Friends

[@Sarcasticron]

"inn-sewer-ants": I'm amazed that Kathleen remembers that joke from the very first Discworld novel, and delighted that she was able to make it work here. :-)

[@rhisccth4094]

A show telling her story, popular merchandise, a cute animal sidekick. So... Morra is now a disney princess?

[@Zara-Bari]

Well, she will be when she meets her Prince Debatably Charming, assuming her mother isn't Queen or something.

[@josephsawczyn1145]

always love the intro, the melody and the pictures and the purple

[@pauljohnson3317]

Dande falling in slow motion and grabbing Kevin, while there's an explosion in the background! Fantastic!

[@maealoril1794]

(not finished with the episode yet but..) I think the polite thing to do now would be to buy the Tasty Tart for -100 gold, fight the ghost and then give both the bakery and money to hallow. I mean, that'd be nice ;)

[@EricOrang]

I was gonna say that maybe hollow could "buy" the haunted bakery because he's probably make enough buns normally but that doesn't seem to be an option anymore.

[@logank9177]

Anyone else doing a re-watch?

[@Kifford]

Yes! Been sick all day not been to sleep. I listen to these before bed. Thanks guys!

[@Bushipunk]

So... Nettleton teleports to Loudwater, takes Morra's form, lives with her mom and Abu Nihar?

[@josephsawczyn1145]

This is how I know you're evil - you don't think bakeries are cool XD

[@wilddogspam]

Why not use the wand on the corpse instead of resurrecting it?

[@VexWerewolf]

1:06:57 "Are they gonna turn into mechs?" I wonder if that's where Dale got the idea from.

[@wolfleopard808]

Where do you think dale's gets his ideas? That's his entire DM style

[@brianwise5850]

An extraplanar alligator should become a skungler

[@SamanthaVess]

1:15:57 Sorry I burned down your bakery. Here's some gold.

[@Grimwear]

Aww yes time for my favourite stream.

[@Dimizar]

hollow is totally gonna get mugged by burlap

[@maealoril1794]

Jeremy Right?!? I was waiting for Kathleen or any one to catch on to that

[@Snowy123]

yay! I'm looking forward to these episodes more and more everyday.

[@Zara-Bari]

Is... is Burlap... not a skeleton, but actually... a... uh... dragon in vaguely human form? (like maybe he just learned how and isn't very good at it yet) That'd be wild.

[@maealoril1794]

Zara Bari i think unlikely but really cool idea. He doesn't eat. Dragons love to eat :D

[@Zara-Bari]

It does seem pretty unlikely, and maybe my lack of D&D knowledge is showing, but does a dragon made of brass or bronze or whatever maybe not want to eat regular food, since they're not made of fleshy bits? Like, is it an established thing what metallic dragons eat? And are they actually metal or just metal colored, because that is a different, other thing. Anyway, the creative writer in me had that idea and went on an exciting imaginary adventure of possibilities.

[@brettcaldwell3318]

Skinny limbs, box shaped body, doesn't eat. Screams Modron to me.

[@ForOhFor]

Metallic dragons just have metal-colored scales, iirc.

[@Zara-Bari]

Thanks for that info. I feel like there's a world of possibilities that's closed off by that, but good to know anyway.

[@julianslavin3896]

Yyyyoooooo in sewer ants is from a book called the color of magic by Terry pratchett

[@Kuroukaze]

So, uh, did you know that flour in large quantities can be explosive when on fire?

[@StapleCactus]

Man, I wish my monk could hit like Dande. He has a plus 7 to hit but has only connected 6 out of 20 attacks in the past few sessions. In general, my rolls are 90% below 10 and 10% 15-20 on things that don't matter (perception when the rest of the party is also doing so, for example).

[@sirshaggeh6205]

new dice could help, placebo or otherwise

[@StapleCactus]

I've been swapping out dice a lot. I think I'm getting all the low rolls out of the dice first and get disappointed. Maybe I should stick to one set of dice until the high numbers are left.

[@lare290]

[lute music stops]

[@Stevefromdetroit]

I’m enjoying Kathleen/Morras naming of things. My name is Steve. My little brothers name is Kevin. Pls tell me there is something named Kelly coming up! I have a sister named Kelly.

[@4winkyness462]

Well Mar, I'm sorry about what's happened to your paintings...

[@jackielinde7568]

I thought that the dwarven treat of Croque was something Dale made up. Now I think he's trolling us. There is a Tasty video showing Croque being made: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJepZXl_iK1lg9E You win this round, Dale! You win this round.

[@Aphidae]

anyone else hearthe sirens in the background?

[@Zara-Bari]

That was the Initiative Police.

[@dactylicpoet791]

Oh damn i thought that was in the real world

[@joevelkovich2585]

My biggest problem with Dale is that the NPCs don't do rolls unless it coincides with his story. That's cool and all for comedy, but when it can get characters killed or derails plans just because is never a good idea. I can't wait until his contract is up. He really isn't that good of a DM.

[@jacefairis1289]

They're not playing a 'normal' DnD game -- they've said repeatedly that they're playing to entertain, deliberately structuring their games to create a fun narrative and highlight their improv. And in that regard, Dale does great -- these games are loads of fun to watch! Dale is great at keeping the game rolling smoothly, saying yes to the players, giving gentle nudges while avoiding railroading, and generally creating a great show.

[@amnesix300]

@@jacefairis1289 I would also love to see how he DMs when he's on a regular game. He's been doing an amazing job, at least in this campaign, of giving the crew chances to flesh out their characters and then building the story around it.

[@AthAthanasius]

@@amnesix300 IIRC back in the Escape From Semolo Plateau campaign Dale made some comments near the start about not DM'ing his usual way as this was for the purpose of entertaining others.
