High Rollers: Aerois

[@alexsander471]

2:59:10 that cinematic music cutoff was bonkers, i don't know if Trott had a hand in it but wow that epic conclusion to this emotional rollercoaster was just 🤌🤌 chef's kiss

[@gavinnewman1350]

It’s weird and somehow unsettling to have Rhi rolling so well 😅. Also; Sentry is a BEAST when the dice are kind

[@blackh9604]

Hadar is lucky Sentry rolls like shit, otherwise she woulda handled this whole situation single-handedly over a weekend

[@danbuckingham5077]

She has extra help…

[@level_breaded5364]

Like I swear trott is just entertaining to watch even when he’s not doing anything, you could watch the whole series only focusing on him and it’d be entertaining

[@huwjackson8110]

So glad to have another episode, and I’m so glad that you guys aren’t letting the OGL crisis impact what you’re making, it wouldn’t be the same without you regardless of whatever you end up using in the future

[@Drujd]

It's big episodes like these that I wish we had a more in depth look behind the scenes for High Rollers, similar to Critical Role's Talks Machina/4sided Dive. Like how much impact did the ritual rolls matter? What would Kim have done if she decided to retire Nova? What would happen if the entire team had gone with Nova to stop the destruction of Vortinssar? Would they have been able to successfully channel the power of the statue Guardians-of-the-Galaxy-style? Just so many questions I would love have quick answers to aside from an end-of-campaign wrap up.

I love how everyone started laughing when Rhi was getting her pile of dice to roll. Paladins man

[@selenas.laclaire3419]

Now, having seen the episode I understand the thumbnail. Tom being a really full-up birb!😆

[@DisneyPrincessOlivia]

This is a good one y'all, have watching with the VOD (miss the intro bit before the dun dun's though)

[@TaradaPryoNINJA]

I wonder if the party had rolled high enough if Nova's connection to Tianggong when she tried to summon them would have been stronger or, vice versa if they rolled worse if there would have been no connection at all, not even an echo of an echo.

[@heartdice2512]

Listening to High rollers in public is such a risk; either people see me manically laughing or crying without any context. I have loudly yelled out NO, in a supermarket before, when Sentry got downed in the cathedral. A woman next to me thought I was critisising her choice of vegetables.

54:42 Uhm actually one of the reasons why gold has been considered valuable for so many years is because it's extremely resistant to "air, water, alkalis and all acids except aqua regia" (quote taken from a quick google search) so that gold probably wouldn't've melted. That's also part of why gold is useful to make currency out of too because it's resistant to those forms of wear and tear.

[@RandomAndgit]

Greetings fellow pedant.

[@theredblur6499]

A good answer to this: 1) It’s Aeroisian gold, which is not resistant to acid OR 2) It’s magic acid

[@BDTMack]

Yes. So happy to see another High Roller's episode! Sending you love and support as always!

[@angriestjoker]

Spoilers! I’m wondering how Kim will go about Nova’s warlock levels being gone. She was mostly a fighter before this, so I assume she’ll just go further into that class. It would be cool however to see her go into a new multiclass like fighter artificer. Regardless, I’m super looking forward to what Nova will do next!

In this fight temp hp is counter intuitive. It essentially doubles the damage. Provided aura of life is not activated.

Puzzle: Beond the door is a hall of glittering gold. The wall innlaid with silver and stars. the work of masters young and old. Piles of coin, gem and steel. Scattered throught out this wealthy field. Twas here the sin of grievious ill, destroyed all. as emerald eyes and onyx hearts turned on kin and brought hornsilvers fall. The dead still watch with greedy malice, their fury brought with careless averous. Beyond this hall lays just one more. Where the families treasure rests for all. When the mark of an heir fills each star the legacy awaits in the final scar

[@ProptimusPrime777]

Did I miss something? Shouldn't Trott have a higher AC thanks to the legendary chainshirt they got for beating the storm titan?

[@dragonman969]

When they went to Vortisar they had to remove a lot of their magic items. He probably just didn’t reaquip it.

[@BlackShadow1991]

Too bad about the tech error eating the intro, but the episode itself was great 👍It was a very neat encounter, showing you can challenge a high level party with low level monsters, Howard was a big laugh once again and I felt the ending might be a tear-jerker, but it still got me. Great roleplay by everyone! For the algorithm!

[@thatacepanda]

Tom should've been a magpie aarakocra instead is hawk with his penchant for shiny things 😂

[@Dead_Videos]

That electrum is magically enchanted to be that strong right Mark? Right?? Electrum is quite malleable and there's no way it would stand up to Aayla even looking in its direction let alone pose a challenge to bend for her. Electrum is only slightly tougher than pure gold. And a commoner can bend gold with their hands. Other than that, great episode!

[@Lucky13Ravens]

Tian gone!!

[@Markcrazeer]

Yes,makes sense but she would have to respec into a level 19/20 artificer without them. They power both the warlock stuff and the echo.

[@Lucky13Ravens]

@@Markcrazeer She's already respecced once from pure Hexblade to a fighter mix. But I don't think that is the road, depending on choices I think it's more likely they go find anti-Nova and take the other reformed Tian Gong, possibly with her temporarily bonding with either Helios (unlikely) or another eterna. Base the Warlocks powers are theirs. I know Mark took her Warlock powers during the nightmare battle, but that was mental effect and she used it with magitech. Just spitballing. Would love to hear other theories.

[@Markcrazeer]

@@Lucky13Ravens i agree with your points about warlock. Warlock is a lot like wizard you cant unlearn most things. (In fact wizards are more vulnerable burn the book and they are ducked.) Anti nova? You mean Kallus? Yes if they could get the other tiangong from Him then that should be doable but a lot more difficult. They are very unlikely to be able to fully integrate with nova. If anything they would only be able to teach them and kallus to become an echo knight. Kim has already made the claim that if she lost tiangong then she would respec artificer.

[@Lucky13Ravens]

@@Markcrazeer Not Kallus. A while back they found there were less shards but a large one was moving. Kallus said he wanted to pass Tian On and it was hinted the larger shard may be that. I do wonder what subclass of Artificer she would choose.

[@Markcrazeer]

@@Lucky13Ravens no, unless I remember incorrectly. We were at a point where there were only two tiangongs one was novas the other belonged to kallus. I do not recall him saying he gave them to one of his generals.

surely 1 acid damage would destroy about 1 gold coin? 1 acid damage might destroy a 20 gold value cake. 28 acid damage might destroy 100 gold? like 500 acid damage to destroy 2k-2.5k gold.

[@garethhamilton1252]

How strong does acid have to be to dissolve gold?

[@MrSkittles1247]

Most acids on their own can’t dissolve gold but the acidic mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acid, also called Aqua Regia, is able to dissolve gold. My headcanon is that acid damage is likely some sort of perfect mixture, potentially magical in nature. Otherwise acid would be less effective in certain situations.

[@DarthFetid]

please in the next campaign be harder on the crew, the character created is that og' character no class switching for any reason. and when your character dies that character never can be revived. dm rolls are to be made openly, just to show the seriousness of the game. all the other rules remain. it'd be tough but fun. why? i have never experienced a game like this on screen.

[@michaelmorrissey3271]

Im pretty sure the reason for this is multi faceted 1) as mark has explained previously when the class change first happend, its a game and if your not enjoying your class and thus the game stops being fun theres no point playing that class of the game any more, while it is a show they play for their fun first and foremost which is 100% fair, thats the point of games to begin with, so wll of this is not for our entertainment thats just an awesome bi product which we get to enjoy 2) it’s really cruel and unfair to kill of a character someone’s had for years just because the class isn’t enjoyable, because lets be fair your not going to know a 18th lvl warlock isnt as fun as a 18th lvl fighter untill you get to 18th lvl and then the commitments to the character are major so losing them is heart wrenching, 3) why stop the changes, when its not too difficult to set up a scenario that makes sense of the changes rp wise 4) if you know the games harsh and your characters likely to die you dont commit to the rp as mich and i feel we would lose alot of what we love about the characters themselves and theyd become very bland and basic So all in all i just dont see anyone doing that for a major campaign, maybe a one shot but again just think about how stressful that would be and wether or not players would enjoy that kinda set up
