This is the scene that definitely made me feel like the writers really got what a game of D&D was like.

[@pennychenery7456]

For me, it was the graveyard scene. My D&D group would have screwed up Speak with Dead in exactly the same way. 😂

[@roystonlodge]

I have heard it argued that you should assume the characters are being played by gamers who know more than the characters do. The players are trying not to meta-game, but of course that's unavoidable, so sometimes the characters seem to know things that they really shouldn't know.

[@Konpekikaminari]

One of my favourite things about this movie is how the Hither-Thither rod was used (and abused) in the chaotically creative manner an actual DnD group would use it

[@machdude3366]

It also makes it funnier when they couldn't get through the stone table because the portal was face down since it seems like an obvious DM choice to deny the players their improvised plan and while they still go after it.

Something to appreciate in this scene. It's over 2 minutes long, NO dialogue and un-necessary exposition that you get in so many movies now where the characters are literally you telling you what they're doing while you're trying to watch it. Nope, the writers let the action and the scene speak for itself. We need more films like this where the scene lets the viewer enjoy it without talking it to death.

[@elonwhatever]

Let's go over the checks: 00:08 Nature (or survival) check: success 00:30 Stealth check: success (DM (passive) perception fail) 00:34 Sleight of hand/dexterity check: success 00:47 Athletics (or tool) check (low DC): success 1:19 Dexterity check: fail 1:20 Dexterity save: partial success 1:24 DM perception check: fail 1:27: Athletics success 1:30 DM insight check fail 1:42 DM hazard table roll: produces a boulder 1:45 Athletics roll (with advantage due to the preparation/quick thinking?): success 1:47 Dexterity save: partial failure 1:54 Athletics (or tool) check (low DC): success 2:06 Sleight of hand or stealth: success Lots of successes for the party, only fails for the DM. Now admittedly the DM probably didn't put the DC's on the skill checks for the party too high, and most characters made skill-checks that they would likely be proficient in. The DM skillschecks probably had a higher DC as the guards had no reason to suspect a threat to be underneath the wagon.

[@delcox8165]

The portal physics of a particular moment there are mind-boggling. When the frame falls and Simon starts to be pulled through, it's because Doric is holding him and the frame is being dragged by the road; all good so far. But the other end of the portal is anchored on the ground, and Holga grabs his legs to start pulling him back through. This is where things get really weird for the frame-half of the portal. With Simon being dragged back through the portal, and Doric firmly holding Simon's hands, the picture frame would have to drag itself back under the carriage, even if Simon wasn't touching it. Nothing would be physically pushing it. Either that, or the distance between Holga and Doric would just increase, so one would lose their grip or Simon would be torn in half, because the movement of the frame-half has no opposing force. Yes, this isn't what happened in the movie, because Simon was leaning on the frame; so, cleverly, the director bypassed the whole paradox.

Stand in a small creek with a gentle current. Take a hoolahoop and drop it into the water with you in the center. If the current was stronger, or the hoolahoop heavier, it would overtake your ability to stand. Same concept here; the frame was light enough for it to be dragged as such.

[@delcox8165]

@@Leoncroi No, nothing about that is the same concept. In your example, your body is resisting the hula hoop, and the weight of the thing makes no difference with the current anyway; hydrodynamics does.

My favorite part is how technically this entire plan was unnecessary since Doric could've just wildshaped into a fly while holding the painting so it merges into her, left it inside the carriage and then wildshape again to leave easily. But the fact that they did it because it's more fun and they simply didn't think of the efficient solution is INCREDIBLY in line with the spirit of D&D. This movie rocks

[@somebodyrandom27]

The Hither-Thither Staff was proof thay the writers were familar with how D&D often plays out at the table. It's hastily introduced to keep the plot going after the party gets into a jam the DM didn't plan for, then gets abused to hell and back in the most creative ways.
