Dungeonbreaker: GNOLLS HOUSE PARTY Episode 3 - a Dungeons and Dragons actual play adventure

[@johnoneil9188]

It is like herding cats but the cats can do magic and use weapons.

Your comment actually made me laugh. Out loud and everything! I can just picture this so well, it’s frightening.

[@thundercookie3214]

Alternative title: when Hobgoblin, Mobgoblin, Bobgoblin, Robgoblin, Nobgoblin and Knobgoblin (don't confuse them) the marauding band of hobgoblins met a chaotic force of evil. Let's face it, the biggest threat Yeenoghu unleashed on the Swordcoast was not his gnoll army...

Protagonists, Jonny. These are no heroes.

[@CodaBlair]

A protagonist doesn't have to be a hero. They can be a villain and there are stories with villains as the main protagonist. All that matters is that they're the one that the story is focusing on, but I do get your comment and find it funny.

I've heard of Noel's House Party, but, much like Citizen Kane, only have a rough idea what it is from numerous references in other pop culture media.

[@MorinehtarTheBlue]

I'm less concerned with the obscure reference and more bothered by the fact that the gnoll portion is maybe a third of the session. Thanks for clearing up the why though as I would never have guessed.

Aside from Tim, they came out of hell as different people.

[@CodaBlair]

Tim did go into a blind rage and brutally murder a gnoll and completely destroying the corpse and had to physically be pulled from the corpse as he was further desecrating it, although he did feel horrible about it later.

[@nickdejager8873]

Note for next time, Matt. Spiritual Weapon (or any melee spell attack) gets to add your spell casting modifier. Johnny, I feel for you. Just remember, you can always kill them off. Their characters, I mean. :p

[@MorinehtarTheBlue]

I was a little confused about Morbos motion as well. Had me wondering if he was positioning himself to wield the damn thing. However using the bonus action to attack a second time is meant for subsequent turns especially since it is also a bonus action to cast.

[@randalladkins7452]

@@MorinehtarTheBlue Yes, and that also means he had an action left that he could have used to cast another spell, though I believe it has to level 2 or below, or maybe just a cantrip, or maybe he could have just missed with his melee mace attack again. :)

[@MorinehtarTheBlue]

@@randalladkins7452 Sounds like your a Critter. RAW it's just a cantrip. Your talking about Mercer's house rules with the 2nd level thing. Though now that you've pointed it out I'm thinking Matt didn't read his spell properly. From that frame of reference he cast the spell as his action and moved an attacked as his bonus actiion. It's silly mistakes like that which make the Dicebreaker look amateurish in a subject they're supposedly experts in.

[@randalladkins7452]

@@MorinehtarTheBlue I know if you cast a spell as a bonus action, you can at least cast a cantrip as an action. Dice breakers are great and I very much enjoy them. They just don’t seem to be as into d&d as they are into other RPGs. (I.e. lore wise, the had the Demons Yeenagu and Baphomet ruling in Avernus instead of the Abyss. And Morbos could understand them, though as a Tiefling he would know infernal, not Abyssal). I figure they could take it that Morbos attacked and missed with his Mace for his actual action. I just thought he might have a better chance with a spell (though his spell save is only 9, despite the fact he could have finally raised it by raising his WIS stat when he leveled up at level 3)!

[@MorinehtarTheBlue]

@@randalladkins7452 That's more about them playing fast and loose with the rules. Johnny is actually pretty great with that but it's a style that can take some getting used to if you care about those rules. Morbos, despite being a cleric, has a really low wisdom score so a spell attack really isn't a good as it would be if his stats were specced appropriately. Matt may have done that in order to gimp the character for comedic effect. But the level at which most classes (fighters and rogues get a few extra) can get either stat increases or a feat is 4 anyway.

[@DesDraculae]

I'm finding Fizz's sociopathy hilarious! Poor Johnny, though.

[@Mary_Studios]

I love how Fizz and Morbos are for anything and Mist and Tim are kinda not wanting to kill anything but they want to have fun and money. Every interesting.

[@skydancersolaris6197]

Everyone else seemed to think it was a big jump for Mist to go from 'I'm here to pick up Gnoll the Gnoll' to 'Hmm what can I take from the smithy', but I say this is just proof that a Tabaxi is, after all, still a cat, and as we well know, it is impossible for a cat to steal anything. The world and everything in it is already theirs - at least as far as cats are concerned ;)

[@mandoschMUh]

Oh god was I relieved when his episode was over...it seemed as if you decided at one point during this and or the previous session to just break the story as hard as possible. Poor Johnny....hope you lot had serious fun, though.

[@andyrushent251]

I love Fizz's irreverence in this episode. I'm finding that Mist is becoming a bit tedious though with being random for random's sake.

[@Roknikus]

Wow, this episode actually made me feel a little uncomfortable to watch. It didn't feel like the typical "cheeky" kind of humor that I get from the Oxventurers and whatnot, it felt like it was starting to get a little hostile (or... toxic?) here. I honestly just wanted to give Johnny a hug... and also Tim the Goblin.

[@persephoneunderground845]

Yeah, there's a point when the characters aren't particularly likable anymore, and it's a bit unfair to the lone "good" character to be stuck with this group when they might in character have left them and joined up with Amelia, except she's not a PC. It also kinda removes all the dramatic tension when the characters don't care about the huge dramatic thing they caused? I think it's interesting but kinda fell flat for me. Especially as Morbos' character always struck me as "trying to be cool evil but is actually mostly good and embarrassed about it", which is a lot more interesting than just welp guess he's evil, which is more where this episode went.

[@Bigal3031]

Fizz is like oh wait why didn’t you just say you where going to loot ? In that case.

[@StarWarsAnime]

Will we ever learn what happened to Clown Gnoll?

[@persephoneunderground845]

These are wonderful, but the combat would definitely be improved (for all videos like this, not just this series) with simple map illustrations for the viewers. It's distracting when the DM, the players, and the viewers each have (sometimes wildly) different ideas of where everyone is located. Like around the 5 minute mark Johnny starts saying most people aren't in the cave, when I was pretty sure they spent hours disguised as rocks *inside the cave*, and the npc party members were just hiding behind actual rocks deeper inside, and only Fizz was outside the entrance? Are there two rooms in this cave? Even a rough sketch would really help so we can all follow without having to say "wait, what?" when what we're picturing isn't the same as what Johnny has in his head.

[@skypaul24]

This was way too funny! But guys, please don't torture poor Johnny like that too often. :D

[@ben.o1156]

[@Luca-bel]

Im getting a cowboy bebop vibe out of this group. A bunch of weirdos grouped up but seemingly uninterested in each others needs and wants. Especially since Mist is basically Ed but without any redeeming features XD props to Mist on this episode. Really put all of you in hilarious situations. Also Tim for Alex's voice acting.

[@oldharlock7760]

Pretty unrelated, but: I just DMed a D&D session for 9 hours and first thing I saw after it, was the news, that Trump lost. Just wanna say, today is a great day! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!💜

[@samdilks9516]

i said it on the last part but fizz and mist really have taken a level in jerkass. "i don't want to talk with this guy whose home we inadvertently destroyed and are now demanding a reward from, because he has a bad attitude about his home being destroyed" i know that's kind of the point - Fizz is a pragmatic arsehole and Mist is in idiot who can't read the room, but i just don't like them as much as i used to. Tim and Morbos, however, have really gone up in my books. Tim's steadily becoming more realistic and sensible, and is starting to stand up for himself and others more often. Morbos hasn't changed much beyond tempering his general malice and people skills but he's still a bit of a bastard, who is endearingly a secretly good person. this adventure was good, it was pretty hilarious - but for the first time in dungeonbreaker i was kind of - not rooting for the bad guys but i wasn't rooting for the party all that much.

Between Mist's total lack of rational thought (either Mist has int/wis of under 6 or the role playing is bad) and Fizz's arseholery for arseholery's sake, this series is getting to the point that I don't think I will bother with it anymore.

[@adolin.kholin]

I’ve actually felt that Fizz and Morbos are the only characters that make sense and feel right rn. The others, though I love them, aren’t consistent and hold up progress at times (most arguing started because Tim or Mist wanted to do something ridiculous, escalated a small minor detail that wasn’t important or disagreed w something that they’ve already done before so shouldn’t be a problem). Fizz has clear motives, and is acting upon them, and Morbos is too. They’re not really the problem, theyre just the clearly evil ones :’) I’m really not hating on them, I love them all, but I don’t think Fizz or Morbos are the ones causing the issues here all the time at least (and if they do, it’s very much in character).

[@MorinehtarTheBlue]

I kind of think that those two pairs aren't really gelling together as a party. Fizz is a kenku trying to deal with a racial curse. His intelligence and identity are dependent upon potions in a very Flowers for Algernon sort of way. Those potions aren't cheap so he has needs and somewhat of a point about reasonable compensation. Though I think they still need to consider that the townsfolk are not in a position to meet their needs. You can't get blood from a stone.

[@Matthew-pd4zx]

Juniper Honey Agreed. I actually kind of like Fizz and have done throughout, and Morbos has really grown on me the last 2 arcs. Mist is getting a bit too moronic/annoying and while I like Tim, sometimes his long-winded monologues, that are already hard to understand because of fake teeth sometimes, just bog everything down and are more a hindrance than its worth. Also, I get that they go loose with the actual rules and that's fine, but some times it is too far and I'd rather there were some limits on this... Oxventure bends the rules in fun ways while maintaining a semblance of 'order' I guess..

[@adolin.kholin]

@@Matthew-pd4zx You put it into words. I really love them all as players, and I’m trying hard to not compare anything to Oxventure (bc I nothing will beat that for me), but the comparison of rulebending is true. I love love love Johnny’s style here though and I think Morbos and Fizz fit into it well (and i hope tim and mist will also get into that more!!)
