"Were-beavers?" "Perhaps in the hallway." Went so underrated

[@Teacupsandhoney]

I feel like most of Derek’s jokes are like that

[@Bunnybunbun82]

I like the Kremy, Gricko and Frost cameo. And Briggsy would make a fabulous detective.....if he wasn't too busy hunting for beavers 😂

[@LegendsofAvantris]

The beavers really get in the way

[@Bunnybunbun82]

@@LegendsofAvantris les claypool slaps the bass in the background...😉

[@scootszilla]

​@@Bunnybunbun82 someone get wynona in here!!!

[@BooGhosty]

Andy is really intense as Marius. I'm hoping his rolls start paying off, poor guy's throwing everything into his RP only to have the dice let him down, and I can relate.

[@PackRatGirl]

Andy's energy is infectious. I love it.

[@LegendsofAvantris]

It's boundless!

[@dragonalchemist89]

"I knew it...I think this house is haunted by Were-Beavers..." Perfection

[@alexanderhobble7460]

The crossovers are numerous and hilarious, so far. Marius channels Shepherd and his hate for hags, and Briggsie channels Clayton and his obsession with werewolves except this time it's werebeavers. Then Kremy and Gricko are swarmed by bees, and Gricko yells for Frost. Hilarious.

[@ainamedoliver]

So we just not gonna talk about the once upon a witch light references in the kid's room? Owl bear plushie, rocking horse, letter blocks, ect.?

[@holy_oreoo8594]

No, it's a chef's kiss for those who know friend ❤

[@Mightymajin]

Wait, didn't this come out BEFORE Witchlight?

[@ainamedoliver]

@@Mightymajin I mean... I wouldn't remember, so you're probably right :P

[@Mightymajin]

@@ainamedoliver yeah, this vod was posted 2 years ago, Witchlight ep 1 was only 1, so it's probably just a coincidence

[@ainamedoliver]

@@Mightymajin ah.

[@FOM_extras]

26:17 Briggsy: I knew it, ..... I think this house is haunted were-beavers Yorgrim: were-beavers? ... Lethica: perhaps in the hallway I'm can't💀

[@KimberlyByrdV]

Omg now I get it! 😅

[@FOM_extras]

1:37:16 I'm gonna cry Jericho: "why don't you let your friends shoulder a little bit of your burden, _LET THE WORLD SPIN ON ITS OWN" wEEPing, flailing, crying in agony

[@FoxAutumnn]

32:50 "FROSTY GET IN HERE-" "Oh my God, it's bees. I LOVE BEES." I laughed at this until my ribs hurt and probably rewound to it at least 20 times. I have never needed to animate anything more than this bit. 😂

[@poyitjdr]

I couldn’t stop to comment during this episode because I was so freaking entranced. Because of that, my favorite part was the yell of “NIKKIE” at the end. I wanted to yell that too! Absolutely marvelous job everyone

[@LegendsofAvantris]

Nikkie knows all the best ways to torment us!

[@jellyhappening1458]

3:36 "I have an eidetic memory" 18:36 "your party's not going to let you die" *roles poorly* "just kidding" 22:48 "Virgil's terrible with doorknobs" 26:09 were beavers 31:05 Briggsy is attacked by bees 32:46 Gricko, Frost, and Kremy are here too 36:38 "did you get a look at him?" "I mean he was covered in bees" 44:18 "w-w-were weasels?" 52:11 "it's going to go achoo and then lunge at me" 53:13 "a 19" "misses" *long pause* "I'm kidding" 58:43 Yorgrim walking through the small hallway 1:02:57 "you also destroyed the stairs" "was hoping you didn't notice that" 1:56:52 "I actually got a 12" "MACE" 1:58:11 "you don't wanna swallow dead guy sweat I'll tell you that. It fucking sucks" 1:58:47 Jericho and Marius's intelligence throws 2:07:04 "there's not an emergency happening right now" "ARE YOU SURE RICH" 2:25:29 "I don't know what I was expecting" 2:26:02 "there's nothing really more horrifying than realizing in February you're just alone" 2:31:36 Modern art 2:55:16 everyone's reaction to the book prop 3:00:55 "I was in the accelerated class at chainstone clan university: reading real good"

[@nightshade8979]

Thx

[@amjustchillin9898]

for anyone who is wondering what was spelt in answer to Marius's (Andy) question at 3:14:24 this is what it said - ''it calls from below, smash wine cask, my apron, darkness''

[@ItsYaBoyPickleman]

Thank you much

[@GiannaHilson]

thank you so much!!

[@ezracas]

3:33:00 Andy and Kelsey saw the bad guy from across the bar and really digged their vibes

[@corrupt.corvids.]

jericho protecting and caring for the doll is gonna kill me. I love jericho so much already

[@ClownPuppette]

The doll of Sally and Jericho moments are making me sob. Anything happening to kids in stories is an immediate hurt spot and gets me so emotional

[@zacharyhamilton101]

I always here a hint of Skrimm in every character Andy does other than Torbek 😂😂

[@vernonhampton5863]

I've learned so much about weasels in the D&D game.

[@Lady_Alexandranna]

I’m falling more in love with poor Jericho and Virgil. Also poor Kelsey.

[@jellyhappening1458]

Going insane over the Marius being like "I can take more curses" :(((

[@s0urgr33n]

"Killing Briggsy won't bring back your gods damned honey!!" has to be one of my favorite quotes from the entirety of Avantris. So happy I decided to start this campaign after finding out about you guys from Stardust Rhapsody, falling in love with Once Upon a Witchlight, and loving all of the other various endeavors you guys have set out on! LoA never fails to make me smile on a bad day. I'm catching up with Edge of Midnight right now in anticipation for it starting up again, and I'm super excited to start Prime after I catch up. Wish me luck!

[@Pati_Kingmaker]

Greeting form Chile! Nikkie is one of the best DM's I ever seen, great narrator. My best and more horrorific part: The fingernail near the bed....

[@northeastartist4158]

"Why does the villain sound hot?" If I had a nickel for every time I said that I'd have quite a few shiny nickels (I feel ya Andy)

[@xmollyx4836]

What an amazing session filled with grossness , inspiring dm'ing by nikkie and as always awesome rp by each and every member ❤

[@Jrrjc316]

"Do you need help - fuck!" - Briggsy 2021

[@brrrnaner]

AH, so good! I'm hooked, but I'm not gonna binge watch the whole thing in a week this time... I'm gonna try some self-control. I want to savor every horrible, disgusting, terrifying, agonizing, soul-crushing moment and take time to relish in everyone's reactions 😈

[@LegendsofAvantris]

There's a lot of gross to savor.

[@brrrnaner]

*cackles* >:)

[@Dragon_Tamer777]

I am just imagining Sally and Arthur saying to their parents "We fucking told you! But did you believe us? NO!!"

[@machomandalf2893]

Poor Mace man lmao Yorgrim just could not catch a break this session.

[@Sophera01]

1:30:34 Poor Andy, lmfao; that's a genuine reaction XD

[@Kadarin187]

NIKKIE! What the hell. You just threw around 10 novel ideas at them + an incredible prop in the form of that book, the writing is beautiful, the characters are charming and entertaining and it's only the third chapter.

[@theycallmesno]

My heart breaks every time the little doll begs to not have to back into the bag 😭

[@nightshade8979]

No one is talking about how desperate Jericho seems to be to bring the kids some sort of comfort

[@rosswalters6423]

Andy is a superb physical actor. When he's playing Marius he keeps like, running his tongue over his teeth, or opening his mouth in a specific way. There's fangs in his mouth and he is constantly aware of them. Such a good touch

[@williamdeweese6134]

55:03 Holy crap, the origin of the Beezle Berry!

[@Jahan_MP4]

Derek's enthusiastic nodding at 1:37:16 at Marius' "I CAN BEAR MORE !!!" in a "That's some good RP shit" way while I'm over here sobbing on the floor hearing the cries of a broken man lmao

[@breazybriz]

The fact that they don’t call Bag, Lethica’s hand bag seems like a pun that was wasted

[@enguarde3776]

Boogle butter is all time favorite breakfast

[@zackgeldhof1206]

Aaaah yes. Boogle Butter. Good stuff.

[@FoolishFal]

I had cold chills the ENTIRE session this was an amazing watch, the funny moments at the start slowly turn into fear and shock once all the joy is washed away at the finale

[@child_of_gaia1836]

I am so invested in this story, I love how all the players are immersed in their characters I am binge watching the whole playlist yes I am going down the rabbit hole.... shit I did not bring a rope if I am not back in about 2 days and 9 hours the Hag got me,,,,, GOOD BYE CREWL WORLD I'M LEAVEING YOU TODAY GOOD BYE GOOD BYE ,,,,,,GOOD BYE.

[@QueerlyRead]

Every time the bee guy appears I just think "I don't wanna be friends with you! You're covered in bees!"

[@colleen6440]

Makes me think of the Candyman.

[@FoolishFal]

THIS, THIS RIGHT HERE, gave me SO many chills during the entire story, mainly when they found out jasper is a familiar and when the 2nd chat was in play

[@leobaca720]

1:20:11 nah the next twenty seconds gave me goosebumps. Y'all are so awesome and I'm new but I absolutely love your channel!

[@treycko1377]

Ok, after listening to Straud, my blood ran cold after I heard the mention of "Dream Dust". What a great roleplay

[@RustFox]

Everyone's expressions at 2:41:59 are pure gold hahaha

[@The_SamPi]

Even though I'm thinking, "Thanks. I hate it," after every increasingly gruesome event Nikkie describes, I'm still invested in finding out what's going to happen next. I'm even scrambling to find paper and a pen whenever Nikkie started to spell anything. Great episode. Can't wait to find out what happens in the next!

[@alexanderhobble7460]

Dream pastries? Do you mean like the ones from the hags of the bonemill? Andy must be having some serious ptsd

[@AmberSmith-gv3fl]

OMG the scenes with the children hit me right in the sadness

[@Zero3384]

this version of the House of Lament is amazing....Marius finding the children's room and the bag of holding, hinting at the Bagman taking the kids is just awful and creepy but great story telling

[@zackgeldhof1206]

Haha! I almost forgot you caught my Boogle Butter Banjo song idea. XD Btw, Nikkie, you simply can NOT be so good at acting like a creepy, crying little girl. >_

[@brooklynb2080]

1:58:04 NIKKIE I’M EATING 😭😭 Out of everything I’ve listened to in all of these campaigns, this takes the sweaty cake /pos

[@mimzyscorner2544]

Watching the old playlist until "OUAWL" 🦉🧸🎃, losing my s🤭 at the 32:44-46 Cameo foreshadowing the greatness of guy's night months later😂😂😂😂

[@ninapillsbury8799]

I know it's a horror campaign but, i would have loved nothing more if bitsy was part of this group. The chaos that would happen would be amazing!

[@rawremnic]

Nikkie using her twist of dread to spite Derek made me say out loud “Jesus, Nikkie, do you WANT them to die?”

[@austyntheman5623]

I feel like orcs could regrow lost teeth as a species that is prone to conflict and fighting amongst themselves and with others the loss of eaty bits would be something accounted for ... I'm sure he'll get better 😂

[@lizdomme331]

....this is an amazing start after curse of strahdanya. I have to remember it's called ravenloft for a reason. I love the start of the dream pasties

[@ILY.Com.]

JERICHO BEING SO PROTECTIVE OF THE DOLL OML MY HEART

[@MamaMothraa]

Every time I hear Sarnax's Dirge come on in the background, my heart hurts a little 😭

[@danielshirah4315]

Jericho saying let's close the door on that chapter

[@finntastic116]

Adding a new fear to my list: drowning in sweat. That scene literally made me sick to my stomach in a way fiction has never done before. Amazing story. I'm physically sick

[@morganw.4711]

Having played half of CoS, the second they mentioned Dream Pastries my stomach dropped out. Eek.

[@ekvictory007]

"There are beavers in the walls." DEAD. I AM DEAD. AHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@tehhayn2732]

Blinsky! No matter what realm, his toys are everywhere (secretly hoping for more Blinsky toys to show up)

[@carolynrobertson1227]

I love how in every campaign Mace sucks at constitution saving throws. Also is it just me or does it look like Andy is wearing white nail polish if he is it looks cool.

[@BabaYagasChickenToes]

Every time I rewatched this episode, even though I know it's coming, the sweat room makes me physically gag this is the grossest thing in the campaign imo 😭

[@sabellabarron9171]

Note to self: don’t listen to this campaign at night

[@hannathompson4376]

I always do and I keep giving myself nightmares

[@K_Bakes]

Too late for me

[@unkownpotato9445]

Its midnight im in a cottage in the middle of the woods theres two windows open i am extremely exited to keep watching this and im absolutely regretting the choices i have and will make :)

[@Mightymajin]

The Boogle is coming to get you!!!

[@rhiannonenright4458]

Half this session is just "for the sake of brevity." 😂

[@scaremoonturkey]

2:42:38 - boys along the bottom (Rich, Andy, & Mace) all tilted to one side in their unease (with Andy's expression describing the entire experience in this house).

[@boggybog]

Yorick may he rule forever. Fiddlesticks hauntz the dreams of crows withhis banjo

[@LLCCB]

Different kind of players. Spooky ghost appears. Pali- oh no, are you alright? Warlock- Eldritch blast bitch!

[@trinityspark7160]

Mace really does have that Giga chad chin line, goddamn! Its noticeable with the shorter beard.

[@shade270]

Curious if this is a pre-written module or not. Has a lot of vibes with H. P. Lovecrafts Dreams in the Witch House, especially with Flithy Jasper as a parallel to Brown Jenkins.

[@nightshade8979]

I think there was a missed opportunity for someone to try to use the bag to mess with the other spirits

[@CaseyCampbell13]

"Why does the villain sound hot?" I mean. Same, Andy. For every villain i see.

[@DannyDorrito]

The beezel berries were born on this day

[@envymordecai4429]

Me every 5 minutes this campaign: Nikki what the F U C K

[@Iron_Abyssal_demon]

I was expecting a bagman to come out of the bag

[@gundamgamer7060]

I mean, at least the arms came out.

[@Iron_Abyssal_demon]

@gundamgamer7060 I hoped it will fully come out of the bag and pull lethica in

[@Gerogigi]

I'm new to the channel, and I know it's like 2 years old but I am enjoying the series so, far Thanks for the awesome series guys!

[@SchoolBoiYota]

A man covered in bees? I didn't know Nic Cage was in this episode.

[@fateric007]

I need a write up of this house encounter. It'll be perfect for a Halloween one shot.

[@morganw.4711]

Virgil loves kids- to eat.

[@ghouliepantz]

GOD jericho and the dolly is so sad but so sweet. he just wants to keep her safe :(

[@BabaYagasChickenToes]

There were 12 different types of vermin painted on the nursery wall, I hope that isn't meaningfully important

[@jackrose9288]

2:48:00 what a lovely thing to get back too while im eating breakfast......

[@bovinaric6882]

19:33 i’m kind of upset that no one side eyed Marius when the bite was described as two puncture wounds

[@necrodart757]

Don't worry, you and I did.

[@morganbloczy]

For a moment I thought it was beezils 40:35

[@rawremnic]

Nikkie’s really using her gifts for evil in this campaign, that doll creeped me tf out. I came from Uprooted, what an insane 180 but I’m here for it.

[@ellieu.6575]

Bag reminds me of a haunted horror version of Luggage from Discworld.

[@LLCCB]

Seriously, screw this house and screw this mission. Nikkie, you're an evil genius

[@MollytheRen]

Re: "You have a familiar?": I assumed the scarecrow was the crow's familiar

[@Miss_Yaiko]

loving this campaign so far. I'm glad I decided to watch this during spooky season.

[@Mc_Whitty]

Excited energy will now henceforth be known as big Andy energy

[@holy_oreoo8594]

The horror aspects of this campaign hurt me just as bad as Icebound. Nikkie, you're a fiend and one hell of an amazing DM ❤

2:30:10 Jericho is the gender indeed

[@jessicadurn276]

Ah fuck (getting flashbacks to CoS' Amber Temple) 👀

[@acerose3843]

Spent most of an 8 hour roadtrip thinking Richie was playing Jericho and Mike, Briggsy because I was listening to the podcast form. And I purely based my logic on ‘no way Rich plays a croc twice’ just to get home, open KZbin, and be absolutely flabbergasted for some reason 😩😭
