I can't wait until Lucius is a famous spell clash duelist and his career comes crashing down from his cow crimes

[@harperthegoblin]

Lol XD

I don’t think killing a few cows by accident would ruin him, maybe make people question him about it, but not ruin him.

Lucius: Not very intelligent but has moments of deep wisdom Nova: Very book smart but quite naive Quill: Fairly inexperienced socially (maybe due to his age) but has a lot of common sense The different types of smarts (and flaws) that these magic characters have

Honestly, 'Quill' is pretty good as a Spellclash name. "Quill? Why do they call you Quill?" "Because the moment you challenge me, your fate is written!" Or, if you want to be more ominous; "Because, simply put, I've a great many quills. I don't, however, have any ink. That's fine though. Your blood should do just fine."

I have to say, aside from the satanic bell cows scene, this has to be one of my favorite episodes so far. I mean, IT’S HILARIOUS. And Quill gains some confidence, I think?

[@mikec.535]

Lucius really needs to be rebranded as the "Fainted Prince."

[@wizardfoxangel5300]

Mike C. That honestly sound so much better than Color Prince For me I won’t Quill Spellclash name to be The Little Bird that could.

[@randomneck-romancer3144]

I personally prefer the P.A.I.N.B.O.W

[@gluedtothemouse]

Oh my god I love Lucius. Trott is so good at roleplaying this character. There are countless little moments in just these past 22 episodes that show how deep and dynamic his character is without feeling forced or rushed or out of character. I only recently started watching HR, I got into it via Altheya and I've been watching Aerois so I can let the Altheya episodes build up. Thank you all for providing so many hours of fantastic art and entertainment- never forget that these stories are beautiful, living pieces of art that YOU have created. Thank you, High Rollers :3 Edit: Lucius, what do you have? A knife!! NO! Edit 2: WOAH these fights are cool, excited for the second round in the future

[@tylertoystory]

My lord, it's safe to say the broken war vet scene is making me tear up! They're so good

[@LonelyMinnesotan1]

I absolutely love how Rhiannon always just looks so happy to be there playing with friends. Absolutely wonderful.

[@GwydionAE]

So... this whole way to get into the Spellclash tournament - by challenging other duelists and betting your own chips against theirs and the more you get the better chance you have - is essentially the first season of Yugioh, yeah? XD Continuing to love the show! Look forward every week, and can't wait to see what else is in store!

[@matthewward1346]

I loved Tom's destiny jokes. I know they fell on deaf ears, but I certainly appreciated them.

[@McSenkel]

I literally cannot believe they didn't came up with idea of dying and/or shortening Valla'a hair. Dressing her as a boy would be a probably(?) good idea. Maybe not though.

[@toshomni9478]

I get the feeling that they are more invested in their characters' stories and goals than with the story that Mark as DM is laying down, which is usually the case in D&D games and probably as it should be.

[@grandmastercultistofben]

I'll take you back to previous episodes " Well we could juts cut Valla's hair " *Holds hands up defensively* "No way, you stay away from my hair"

Didn’t nova discover that solven was at the bottom of the ocean when her and century were comparing map records or whatever?

[@Grindzy56]

I believe they know there's ocean there now, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's down at the bottom of it. I mean, the Genasi came to Aerois when their city got swapped with a High Elf one, I believe, so who knows what's where after a god-war.

[@AGrumpyPanda]

This is also a setting where cities fly, so there's plenty of options for it to not be there anymore.

[@johnbourlier7883]

Albertiito a couple hundred years

[@quinnsinclair7028]

I know I'm super behind but my theory for why the Prime appears to failing guardians is that it's using something along the lines of the astral projection or dream spell to appear to people. The problem is that guardians don't actually dream. However as they begin to decay their periods of inactivity and reliving old memories mimics a dream state to the point that the Prime's spells can contact them.

[@leeterryjr]

For future info and/or anyone reading these coimments to prevent possible mistakes in the campaign they run in. The Paralyzed condition includes the Incapacitated condition within it. The Spellcasting rules in Chapter 10 state that being Incapacitated breaks concentration. Therefore, hold person would break concentration.
