Fate of Drakkenheim Episode 49: Swimming Lessons

[@garyboyles5762]

"I don't see no police!" -Joe 2023

[@Sol-mr1lv]

That moment when your DM stands up from the table to get one or more creatures from their glass cabinet...

[@JimboTauJones]

What’s funny is in the episode where they battle the robot rescuing Bruce, they specifically mention that Sebastian is the one not written in gift of the Protector!

[@darev2335]

1:01:10 This banter between Dr. Friedman and Sebastion give me Hella Harry Dresden vibe and I'm all for it. And Monty is playing Friedman as the perfect foil. 🎉

[@dylannelson2165]

You can see the wheels turning for Monty when the team broke out Wraths Gift of the Protectors. You can see him thinking, gotta kill them better next time...

[@Jestylor6]

"I'm sure it's fine" "No No No" Never a more accurate DM statement. Especially because Dr. Martin does a good job communicating how much danger they're in up until now. It was at that moment I knew this was gonna be a rough fight...

[@logancuster8035]

Oh just got to the “no no no” 😂 that was spectacular

There are two types of players: "Are you sure you want to fireball a chemistry lab?" Player Type 1: On second thought better not. Player Type 2: Well now that you mention it I HAVE to fireball it.

[@mishiara5499]

Jill LOVES random effects so I was still surprised she did not go for it :P Watching it I went all emperor Palatine: "DO IT!"

[@minnesotanose]

fireballing a chem lab sounds exciting and fun.

[@CrownlessStudios]

Love Drakkenheim Friday. My group just finished the Battle for Temple Gate and are going to plan their assault on the Lord of the Feast next week!

[@CrownlessStudios]

Joe cracking up at Kelly forgetting class features will never get old.

[@aidandunne5978]

I wish you and your crew good luck! My players just killed Feasty themselves, and gotta say, while it was a ton of DM work, the payoff was worth it!

[@TheBigSh0w]

Found the channel last year looking for help as a player in my first campaign and started watching Drakkenheim. Fast forward 8 months to now and I'm running a Drakkenheim campaign myself, caught up through all of the episodes, and seeing my name in the list of Patrons. All hail the Dungeon Dudes! (and friends)

The three banes of adventuring party’s: doors, simple puzzles/riddles, and intelligence saving throws.

[@CrazyKungfuGirl]

Rat prince: yes yes yes Monty: no no no

[@mikecarson7769]

so many awesome moments in this episode . . . but most epic was Monty moving to grab extra special set pieces to add into the scene

[@chrisanderson2368]

Since they're editing these, they can do whatever closeups and additions they want.

[@vladimirserpov6773]

What a sudden clutch move from Joe! Such a cool save 😲

[@dylannelson2165]

Monty frantically circling Gift of the Protectors for every fight from now on.

[@bertbergers9171]

Great unfolding Monty!!! Love how you still manage to bring dread to your seasoned players!

[@christiangex2055]

Thanks and have a nice show with our talented Dungeon Dudes.

[@joeciavarini9508]

I so loved the Wrath cameo in this episode. That tome is epic! Well done Joe.

[@teachytv3242]

SPOILER WARNING . . . The contrast between Wrath just chilling with his cat while his friends are being torn apart by Duchess v2.0 is absolutely fantastic. I can vividly picture the Duchess getting a serious wound before she erupts in a plume of acidic fluids, and as Sebastian begins to revert back his humanoid form and fall from the air, Wrath’s book lights up and begins smoking and he looks at the name and goes “Good thing it’s not Rudy, then that would mean they’re REALLY in trouble.”

[@Tasfarel]

Everytime someone is under the slow effect i imagine Dori from Finding Nemo pretending to speek to whales

[@abracadabruh7420]

Btw, I might be wrong but the lighting bolt + dragon(demon/delirium/force) breath turn was probably Sebastian's PR turn, with a total of 197 damage, just 2 short of Pluto's record of 199 (and that time he had like three crits against a creature vulnerable to radiant damage using Ignacious, that was probably the forgotten record... But I think the target didn't have enough hitpoints to withstand all three attacks)

[@KnicKnac]

Loving all these twists and turns. This campaign has been so entertaining to listen/watch. Thank you all!

[@crownlexicon5225]

1:07:00 man, it's times like this I forget the players play multiple characters. I genuinely felt like Rudy was explaining to sebastion something Kelly didn't know.

[@golett0331]

In the beginning: Give Sebastian a cloak of Billowing. At the end: Give them all a phoenix down

[@thetowndrunk988]

Boooooo, Jill. I wanted to see a fireball go off in a chemistry lab 😂

[@themadinspector]

What's the worst that could happen? 😆

[@mishiara5499]

I was sooo sure she was going for it, she love random effects like when you blow up delerium crystals and such. When she was hesitating I went all emperor palatine: "Do IT!"

[@boldarock4095]

Monty’s fault. He Jedi mind tricked her, or used upcast suggestion.😊

[@drachimera]

River tells you she wants to corpse of the duchess for ‘study’…. The team goes through incredible antics to convince the silver order they should get a trophy…. Not a single person could have predicted they would encounter this monster again!

[@funandgames7847]

Great cliffhanger I can't wait for next week

[@mitchellwelch9135]

Omg…. The wait for the episode is diabolical. (Scratches incessantly) u got some more maaan? Hey you should consider doing a series of shorts! Like throw together small encounters with your mini collection and feature the scene and then call the audience to adventure. It would be nice for some more content from the best dnd crew there is!

[@drawberry_jam]

Seconding this!!

[@mitchellwelch9135]

Thanks for highlighting my comment! You guys inspired me to begin a podcast for dnd and id love to collaborate with you guys someday, we are on spotify. “Dungeon Noises” is the name. We are currently playing Tomb of Annihilation and its been the best experience of my life! Our next episodes have all undergone major tech changes so now the audio, music, intro and outro have all been revamped to near studio quality! If it weren’t for the Dungeon Dude’s it would’ve never been in the cards for me. Thanks for everything you do for the best community in the world, 😚🥰💯🥹😁

Kyle coming out with Pluto’s spider climb mutation at the end there for the thumbs up! Love it! Thumbs up the for the thumbs up!

[@darrenromanko2414]

I am on a second run through on everything Drakenheim from episode 1 to current. I am one episode away from the original meet of the Dutchess. What lucky timing for myself. Another wonderful episode, please never stop. Excited for the next one. Also, the name of the song in the end credits is what?

[@DungeonDudes]

It is called "Wizard's Tower" on Tabletop Audio

[@euansmith3699]

Another great episode. Monty is definitely ramping up the deadliness of the encounters these days.

[@ninjasquirrels]

I’m constantly rolling for my VH Bladesinger in every combat encounter, anyone else test their characters like that?

[@hitekalchemy1105]

So glad I'm catching back up. Instead of 2 weeks I'll watch the next one now.

[@crownlexicon5225]

28:00 thanks, Joe, for recognizing you already used a bonus action

[@aidandunne5978]

As Monty was getting out the minis, I was just waiting for the moment he would bring out "her". Not gonna spoil if it was "her" or not, but I will say, it was impressive and terrifying ;)

i forgot about this campaign for a while. have a lot of cathing up to do :p

[@JacobRajkowski]

Edge of your seat excitement!

[@StygianLightning]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Pluto shouldn't have to roll against mirror images in melee combat since he has 10 ft blindsight, which means he actually got robbed of his crit.

[@ItsMeJax21]

1:37:26 Was it just me or did Jill accidentally F bomb lol

[@ericjordan1348]

Monty enjoyed the last 5 minutes of this a little too much 😂

[@johnwspeck]

Why couldnt Pluto use the Javelin of Lightning?

[@drawberry_jam]

Maybe Monty thought activating the javelin was also a bonus action, possibly confusing it with the flame tongue which IS a bonus action to activate

[@crownlexicon5225]

Please please PLEASE Kelly. Remember Strength of the Grave next week lol

21:00 Kelly shouldn't have been able to quicken the mind sliver. Even a cantrip is a spell cast as a bonus action, so no leveled spell could be cast as an action

[@AngelCanseco1]

You can cast a cantrip and a spell on the same turn

[@ADT1995]

There's a clause in that line that specifically allows you to cast cantrips. I used to get that mixed up too.

[@crownlexicon5225]

@@ADT1995 the clause allows you to cast a cantrip as an action if you cast a bonus action spell. Not the other way around.

[@crownlexicon5225]

@@AngelCanseco1 if the spell is the bonus action and the cantrip is the action. Yes. Not the other way around.

[@ADT1995]

@@crownlexicon5225 I pretty much abandoned 5e for Pathfinder 1e so I might be just remembering how I used to rule it rather than the actual rule. I thought that was the RAW though and that it was worded "unless one of them is a cantrip".... but I could also have just ruled it incorrectly for 8 years, that's not outside the realm of possibility. There were definitely some house rulings that I played with for so long I forgot that they weren't actually RAW.
