It's the "Johnny what the eff, dude!" that got me.

[@TheDougio]

I know! I absolutely was loving the reactions that Mark and Johnny were making, and I loved how Dave just ran with it with Soth holding Simon hostage

[@jrgenervik9977]

@@TheDougio whats the timestamp roughly?

[@TheDougio]

​@@jrgenervik9977 at the 1:00:00 mark is where Walters asks Merrilwen about someone she's lost

[@MrZonehawk]

Rust suggesting "The Cone of Shame" is superb!!

[@halthanetorq9788]

Did Merilwen just "I'm kind of a big deal" Soth?

[@Kalah_]

1:00:05 Yeah, you'd better hide your face, Johnny. xD

[@Mary_Studios]

The Reactions to Simon is great. As soon as Ellen got asked who Merilwen would see I knew it would be Simon yet I still didn't brace myself for the sadness.

[@LegendarySquoth]

Loving how much sass there is in this episode. Merilwen taking no prisoners when there is a cat on the line. I especially loved how Miria just full on rages at Soth and he's basically just basking in her pain and loving it and then Rust dismisses him as being 'uptight' and Soth just totally loses it 🤣.

[@Kalah_]

Yeah and not just *a* cat.... *her* cat. Simon was her friend. Mess with that and Merilwen can be merciless.

[@caseybaker7935]

The last guy who messed with that cat ended up skewered to the floor of his own burning cabin and left to the nonexistent mercy of a white dragon. Simon is the John Wick's dog of the Oxventure

[@goofyfurball7311]

Love Merilwyn with the "you're not eternal"

[@avathequeen14]

Love the callback to the Simon episode of Oxventure, its one of my favorites. Also... sad Rust backstory D:

[@CodaBlairLucarioEmperor]

I wonder if that was actually part of the campaign Johnny brought Rust from. And if so, if the other character was another PC. Also, that episode was such a great one. It is the one that showed the Oxventure can be serious too, and not just comedic.

[@bigaj6901]

1:01:05 knowing what was coming there, I burst out laughing right along with Johnny... an Oxventure classic right there 😂

[@sambridgett]

Ellen sneaking in a Fast Show reference at 25:31 has pleased me greatly

[@Spumawful]

Oh yeah, Tentacle Prime, let's go!

[@Musive99]

Love Ellen delivering all the burns!

[@nickdejager8873]

The Silver Arm. That takes me back. Est Solarus oth Mithas. Johnny/Rust breaks the DM. To be fair to Soth, he turned back because the gods of evil whispered in his ear that his wife had betrayed him and the other gods would too. He just failed a critical Wisdom save.

[@TheGreatGoddessFreya]

I am 100% living for Miria's ticked off librarian vibe.

[@WhiteTiger950]

Quite the emotional and powerful episode! Really enjoying this campaign so far! Eager for the next episode!

[@Melrieoi]

Guess they forgot Sentry and everyone around het is immune to frighten.

[@TheBaldParakeet]

Solid work as always. Love the arc

[@franklinbrown7389]

This is getting really interesting. Such an amazing idea to integrate this with Idle Champions in this way. This whole group is so much fun! Can’t wait for the next episode!

[@hedgers2005]

I had a moment wondering who Kay Beck was..... then it clicked!

[@sarahkittle]

This whole thing reminds me a lot of Trevor fighting death in Castlevania. Absolutely fantastic so far!

[@67bardock]

This one is powerful, really enjoyed episode 1 but this..woah 🔥

[@MrZonehawk]

Yeah it's easy to say someone made a mistake when your not the one having to make a decision quickly.

[@buzaeanuecaterina8731]

i always wandered what did quebeq do?

[@ulfhazelcreek8108]

Plants man. They're the best.

[@rollersoffatednd5280]

Really amazing show ,thanks y’all 🥰🥰🥰, the music is fantastic too, could I find out where the music comes from pls mods ?

[@paladinbob1236]

lord soth is a badass [winks] :P

[@caseybaker7935]

I love how the mortal enemies of the BBEG don't get under his skin anywhere near as much as the two new weirdos who just start reading him for filth. I've never seen someone go on an explosive rant like that over just being told they seem uptight before
