Fate of Drakkenheim Episode 75: Wanted

[@Chiefjumpingfox95]

Sebastian telling the flame keeper to tell him not to go down and then telling her he’s going down anyways so that it’s not technically a lie is hilarious and such quick thinking

[@Sp4rt4nSl4ya]

A very clever play. It's stuff like that that makes me love this group and campaign

[@alexinfinite7142]

That scene was awesome. And good on him for covering for her😂

[@FoundationalDD-eb8qm]

I am absolutely loving this “Project Mayhem” type of arc.

[@alexinfinite7142]

It's working!

[@FoundationalDD-eb8qm]

@@alexinfinite7142 Indeed it is

[@ninjasquirrels]

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it?

[@captainthorrek262]

I love how they can go into one of the holiest cities in their campaign, and turn it into a weekend in Vegas!

[@euchiron]

8:25 "He had it coming" Some guys just can't hold their arsoning

[@mikecarson7769]

Superb portrayal of the City of Lumen, realistic and immersive in the history and functioning, while still people can imagine their own details and possibilities

[@Finch-vb3xk]

I’m a young DM and you guys have been my main inspiration. Thank you so much. You all have provided so much entertainment, and gotten me through hard times.

[@isaackarr6576]

Thank you for being a storyteller.

[@nicholasallen1388]

Even as you grow into a veteran storyteller, the dudes are a huge inspiration!

[@kevinedwards5390]

Same. May your stories capture what you imagine and captivate your players

[@TruMaxBlu]

I cannot agree with this sentiment more.

[@Finch-vb3xk]

Thanks guys

[@shirokomorebi2944]

Dungeons of Lumenheim here we go! I’ve been waiting for yall to go to this city forever and it has been more than I could’ve ever imagined. Truly immaculate Monty!

[@alexinfinite7142]

It's such a cool city!

[@chadharris979]

Pretty phenomenal world building with the city of Lumen. Great roleplay from the trio and yet another master class on balancing game prep with improv as a DM. Truly one of the best things on KZbin.

[@chrisg8989]

Great world building. This city feels real.

[@Blindy_Sama]

I kind of want to see a miniseries or one shot or something that takes place when the sorcerer Kings still ruled .

[@somefrozendude3475]

Would be Fantastic!

[@nicholasallen1388]

Yes yes yes!!!

[@drawberry_jam]

Maybe we'll see it in a future Untold Tales 🤔

[@evanrash2862]

I'm running a campaign with exactly that premise

[@Blindy_Sama]

@@evanrash2862 sweeet

[@igayparisjr]

Omg! Super excited for todays episode! Been trying other people’s campaigns but it’s not Drakenhiem… you all have made something special here. Not sure what it is but you guys are doing it! ❤❤❤❤

[@nicholasallen1388]

I fully agree! I look forward to this all week long... it has a resonance that just hits and keeps hitting!

[@darrenromanko2414]

Drakkenheim is still ( even years later ) one of the best parts of the week. Great episode everyone.

[@KnicKnac]

Best part of my weekend. I watch a few days later

[@rcschmidt668]

Was anyone else talking to the screen to say, “Long rest! Take a long rest!”

[@themadinspector]

I started playing AD&D in October 1976. You guys are great!

[@christiangex2055]

I'm playing D&D since 1983, and AD&D first and second edition

[@nicholasallen1388]

One of my favorite things is Montys descriptions and what seems to be a balance of being prepared and weaving fantastic improv.a true Dr. of the Dungeon Masterial Arts!!!

[@JD_16939]

You know Monty is proud of his world-building when a simple question of what's nearby leads to a several minute long lore dump about the city lol

Drakkenforce get stuck in the crowd of people outside St. Tarrana's cathedral 19:42 - High Paladin Uriel Radley appears so Veo minor illusions a scream, which ends up making the situation worse... 22:53 - Veo then makes herself and Pluto invisible (yes, randomly disappearing in mass of people after you've been spotted is a great idea) 24:00 - Veo and Sebastian manage to make their way through the crowd, leaving Pluto behind 25:33 - Pluto tries to enter a random building (its locked tough) 26:42 Uriel Radley announces that the cathedral is closed to the public 27:22 - Pluto invisibly makes a B-line for their destination 28:40 - Veo moves starts makin her way through the roof tops, while Sebastian gets clocked by some paladin's divine sense causing them to bring out a lantern of revealing 30:48 - One day, the players will remember basic lore 32:08 - Sebastian cast haste on himself (using subtle spell) to lose the paladins that sensed him 33:05 - The party reconvines 36:00 - Entering the ruins of the Nightmare City of Nox is most definitely forbidden 41:23 - Arriving at the Chapel of St. Bartholomew 44:05 - The story of Saint Bartholomew 47:05 - Entering the chapel and meeting Flamekeeper Nightingale 54:39 - Where to find Old Man Night 55:30 - How to enter the Dungeons of Nox 59:21 - The Silver Order does know about this place and the presence of vampires (and possibly other undead denizens) 1:03:27 - Ignatius will find us a way out of the forbidden dungeons filled w/ horrible creatures created by tyrannical sorcerers 1:04:03 - How to cheat the Zone of Truth, a guide by Sebastian Crow 1:04:40 - Scene change as the party enters the chapels crypts 1:06:52 - Turning the lights off 1:11:22 - Sebastian has a complex w/ shadows and darkness 1:12:12 - Just because I can't see you doesn't mean I don't know you're there (or at least w/in 10ft of me) 1:13:49 - A modded (epic version?) Nightwalker appears 1:15:43 - Initiative is rolled 1:16:37 - Round 1: Sebastian succeeds against the walker's annihilating aura (yes, that is the real name for the ability) , I believe the damage wasn't given but it would have been 5 necrotic damage. Sebastian then twin spell haste on Veo and Pluto 1:18:47 - Epic action: the nightwalker tries to unmake Veo, she takes 14 damage (uncanny dodge) and doesn't have her max HP reduced 1:19:51 - Veo takes 10 damage from the aura. Then attacks, hitting 4 times for a total of 123 damage to the nightwalker, then disengages 1:22:50 - Epic action: The nightwalker shoots a decaying beam at the party.

They are both paralyzed and frightened until the end of walkers turn 1:24:40 - Rules lawyer moment: Haste would be dropped because the paralyzed condition incapacitates you.

[@euansmith3699]

I love the explanation for why Lumen is the city of light.

[@davydnicholson7681]

Another master class in world building from Dr Montey. You all keep showing how good D&D can be. Thanks and praise to you all

[@martiansoon9092]

Detect magic, true sight, any spell that finds undead, ... This party glows everywhere it goes if someone wants to see them. And that means most potent opponents, because they are more likely to have these means. Any temple they go have its defenses and most have defenses against undead... Like I said in previous episode, it will be wonderful to have discussions with Sebastian and paladins and most of the religious groups... Celestials or their hirelings may attack at random, if they know where Sebastian is (Angel fight....).

[@martiansoon9092]

And all that before Monty explained/used these... Very experienced DM who knows what he is doing.

[@anonymouszebra1239]

Can’t believe they got out of getting crit twice while two of them were paralysed 😂 Crit negating armour, silvery barbs and high AC for the win!

[@englewood1701]

The world needs more people like you guys

[@logancuster8035]

Very scary fight. In the future keep in mind that being Paralyzed Incapacitates which would have broken Sebastian’s concentration on Haste. Very easily could have turned into a TPK

[@monkeyismadd1825]

They even remembered that, but forgot the haste-stun

[@Wurgy42]

Haven't said any thing about this yet but I gotta say I love the outtro music. Wizards Tower is just the perfect whimsical music to end with! Would definitely be my intro or outro if i ever got my group to do a cast. :)

[@mattitalks6261]

Oh love jills Hair. And bet u Sebastians mom. The tower of noxs is the same tower in dragonheim who was the detractor his mom. Who braught it to dragonheim his mom. And the other detractors. His mom is a sorcerer king. That one rhat was kill by st. Whats her face . The clone spell is a wonderful thing.

[@kallebuchholz2156]

At this point of the campaign, it feels like the dusk wardens are trying to save the world whereas Drakenforce are just enjoying themselves.

[@ghettogenshin]

1:05:00 It's a Monty Mispronunciation Masterpiece! He mispronounces Entombed and Hearth and I think this episode had an Eye-run thrown in there as well.

[@Desbiscuito]

Finally caught up I'm going to be very sad that I don't get to binge watch anymore but excited to catch episodes weekly!

[@earthenkindquests]

Another superb episode!!! I very much enjoyed feeling like we were exploring and experiencing the city along with the team

[@stevenallan7945]

Good evening from Scotland! Ready for the chaos

[@alex4251]

Loved the tense scene in the crowd with a surprise Urial cameo + the description of the shadows and monster at the end!

[@TheParallelSound]

I personally loved this one, had to watch it twice today.

[@joshuatran6526]

If Epic Nightwalkers come out just for turning off the lights, no wonder Lumen keeps them on

[@drawberry_jam]

Awesome episode! Can't wait for the Dungeons of Nox-enheim next week 👀

[@MrNratt66]

Sebastian is acting as an agent of chaos and a servant of a demon lord while his friends just cope trying to not see the truth

[@rcschmidt668]

All this, and we don’t even have to wait for Friday!

[@christiangex2055]

Love you and thanks for all

[@drachimera]

It’s amazing how quickly Sebastian embraced the evil! One would expect a time where he struggled with mortality and had redeemable traits…. much like Spawn… but NOPE!

[@burntcustard]

Do you automatically lose concentration when you get paralysed? It seems reasonable to assume, but I can't find anything in the rules which says that's the case (1:29:30)

[@burntcustard]

Awhoops, yes you definitely do lose it. "Being incapacitated or killed. You lose concentration on a spell if you are incapacitated or if you die." (And paralyzed includes being incapacitated)

[@xaviertooker3287]

You do because paralysis inflicts the incapacitated condition as well, which disallows you to concentrate on spells. Let's pretend that Sebastian's super cool Lich powers allowed them to break the rules in that moment lol

[@Biezer]

The last fight really shows how "good" you all are together. Not that you can really be good in D&D but this would have taken my group atleast an hour to go through. With everyone not being ableto decide what to do on their turn with the millions of options at that level. Even in a rather simple fight.

[@johngillan4475]

Thank you for your fun video

[@FireGoliath]

Dear God, is Monty trying to give us an aneurysm starting at 1:04:50? I love you guys, but your kooky and unconventional pronunciations of words is enough to cause me to TWITCH EVERY TIME. Please don't get me wrong, I really love the whole of Drakkenheim, but Monty...please.

[@alexinfinite7142]

1:29:13 didn't Veo use her BA for Steady Aim?

[@jjbguidry7789]

I believe that first attack on the giant demon, ve OA, beat her old record! 123 pts of damage!

[@TopCatUK76]

With the people rolling a die there is a 42% chance each time that at least one person rolls a 1.

[@user-nz7dd3sg5c]

Monty an amazing DM

[@cristianhalexysyanezreyes6014]

I'm not going to lie, this chapter was super funny, but there wasn't much logic to be found. A bunch of irrationally powerful religious fanatics ambush Sebastian by coincidence and then, for defending themselves from the assassination attempt, they are now wanted throughout the city; and all this happened in just a couple of hours.
