Lucius: So what happened to the thing we were fighting? Quill: Sentry talked to it. Lucius: What about the Snake? Nova: Aila killed it. Me: ???????

[@mrduck2300]

I'm a 26 year old grizzled tradesman and I genuinely teared up a bit during that palador encounter. Anyone eles

[@a.garcha199]

I was surprised to hear that but then I heard him speak to lucius and for some reason it almost got me

[@dragondropdota]

I just love how "We need some money, let's go on a side quest to kill some gnolls" turns into a multiverse-spanning 15 episode arc

[@MrHlum]

Pallador seems like an absolute chad. Love that guy. Great session, finally made it home.

[@mjg1477]

Every time that Lucius puts his hands behind his back and stares out of the window I think he gets more and more baddass... the only downside is that I have not seen any fanart of him doing that yet. I will say at first I thought Lucius was just Trott wanting to have a bit of fun, but now by the end I really feel and hope that his character arc is going to be my favorate, becoming a charasmatic commander and defender of Aerois. (Wild hope but I'm holding out for Admiral Elenasto by the end of the campaign)

[@frockrock774]

I love Admiral Elenasto

[@kamaljohnson2200]

There was one fan art quite a while ago on one of these episodes where there was crew looking at Lucius while he was looking out on the ship and they were all just like "oh look at our captain so strong" but Lucius was actually crying lol

[@GlacialRaven]

Quill: "Good news, he’s very close. Bad news, he's right there". Tom has some really funny moments

[@kellygingrich4302]

I love how much personality TianGong has even though they only speak one word at a time - and humour!

[@raymondfelix7483]

I had a dream last night the high rollers were playing dnd in my room and i was playing as a magical cat girl who was always asleep, so to stay in character i was half asleep in my bed listening to what everyone was doing and only answered questions out of character with thumbs up and tbumbs down. Mark hated it and kept telling me to sit up and play properly. I had a feature called "dramatic entrance" that gave me a bunch of bonuses only if i stayed asleep until clutch moments so i had to stay asleep. I feel like i owe mark an apology even though it was a dream... sorry mark i love you!

[@frockrock774]

You were playing big cat

[@abirb5384]

Yes!

[@chintex_]

This was probably the most epic episode of High Rollers so far. I have nothing but respect for Mark and the whole crew.

[@CeyasStuff]

I live for the interactions Tiangong has with the party, and nothing else

[@Arrusoh]

57:11 This is why Trott is my favourite. He doesn't meta play at all. He knows that his character would react like this and so he reacts like that

[@robbycovello5026]

I got to watch this episode live which was my first time ever watching live and I absolutely loved it. I am not watching it fully again here but I wanted to reiterate how great this episode was

[@Starlink28]

I’m sorry, I love mark, he will forever be in my podium of storytellers ever. EVER

[@joshangrian]

20 minutes in, still waiting for Sentry to introduce quill to the space guardian, since his race was literally created by a shard of Siaska

[@corpralcobra420]

Yeah, I was thinking that the whole time. Unfortunately she's not very good at remembering stuff.

[@ElimLacuna]

[@sussologist]

I am just going to say Chris and Tom RPing is absolutely brilliant. That "forms" scene got me good.

[@MorinehtarTheBlue]

I think that was the point. Though I do believe Trott was trying to fool his fellow players with that.

[@IcepersonYT]

I know they have had it for a few weeks now, but god damn their new UI is so neat!

[@IcepersonYT]

This is and always has been such an insanely high quality show, you can really see the brilliance of HR’s support people and the community. Even campaign 1 had beautiful art and a good scheme since the very beginning.

Quill: "We need to use less magic power for the cloak, last time we had too much." Also Quill, three seconds later: "I put in a 5th and a 6th-level spell slot."

Mark is genuinely such a freaking good DM. This episode was AMAZING!

[@lemonrose1254]

FINALLY BACK TO AEROIS 😂😭 lmao it’s so funny how Marc never planned this but it happened and the world building is my favorite! The universe is just so immaculate!

[@mme.veronica735]

Spoiler Warning for after the break. That improvised spell/high magic mechanic was dope. Good job Mark, I might have to steal that next time I'm a DM

[@JarredE]

That, was something special. I got chills and I'm not even playing. I dream of having a moment like that for my players.

[@jeremiahmarcum168]

I'm not crying, you're crying.

[@Pancakeli]

No we

[@lukeamparo6586]

This campaign is so big. Mark wanted Star Wars he’ll get it. Planetary or galaxy scale war against an empire and death god. Hopefully we’ll see the resistance again. Perhaps they’ll have a war on two fronts. The armies of Aerois against the fleet and perhaps Sentry can liberate her planet Mechanicus. Nova frees Ghenas. Alia frees the elves from the prison planet. We got three planets full of potential allies and Angels plus a few rebel cells. This is a lot. I’m loving it. Hope it doesn’t end prematurely with a TPK

[@slender99ld]

After a day of redecorating this is exactly what I needed thank you high rollers 💜

[@TheFrozenFlame05]

I'm kinda disappointed that not a single one of them considered giving the energy crossbow to Arvil when they got back to Aerois.

[@user-jd5nu5kh3k]

Ty so much for the in built youtube timestamps. Now people don't have to risk spoilers when looking for comment timestamps to skip breaks.

[@Kicksticks]

I really hope when Siaska is reformed she comments on Lucius' magic. I want Lucius to be special like everyone else so badly 😭😭😭

[@ctmvvideos875]

I know this is a bit late but me too, It feels like lucius is left out like he doesnt have an important role i mean quil is a titans chosen, aila has the storm king with her, sentry carries the prime matrix, and nova has a talking sword that is very important also

[@rodar4826]

I can't be the only one that thinks nova would be PERFECT for an artificer multiclass, can i?

[@Quantanimobay]

It would be really cool but I don’t know if they’re allowing artificers

[@elldarr_9135]

Galrung PaNaia IMO they should, a lot of Aerois is centred around what mark refers to as “magitech”. Even on the planet itself, even if rare and more primitive and more clock-punk esque, it’s there. There have been numerous characters who’d probably fut into the archetype of an artificier. If they aren’t a thing then to me a great chunk of the potential created by having magitech, is lost

[@adakahless]

There was an artificer npc in Lightfall and Mark alluded to this being the same 'verse as Lightfall.

[@arcticwiz2249]

Actually yeah, she already maxed out charisma. Nothing stopping her from going artificer

[@lincolnsummers1235]

Lucius's sister is confirmed an artificer at one point (Whether in name or in class), however I think that magitech is possible without being an artificer if need be.

[@philipdrum8386]

Such a cool episode! spoilers for end of episode I wonder how the dragons and other people are going to react to a star ship getting through the cradle since the war. As always really looking forward to the next one!

[@omabep]

OMG this was litterally the BEST episode i've seen so far such a satisfying end, and the music on the background also was too perfect

Upgrade idea, that magitec armour and luscious super arm to make a armour that a sorcerer can use.

[@SidTheStallion]

That was a perfect episode Mark!

[@adrenalineunlimited]

Tom, Auran is a dialect of primordial

[@MorinehtarTheBlue]

Yes. It's rather unfortunate that the language information for certain races and creatures don't enlighten players to that context. You have to read the language section in the PHB to get that information about Primordial and the four elemental based dialects.

[@roleforfantasy]

I just caught up after watching for 3 weeks and now I have to wait.

[@kristenbrumlow3271]

[@PaulStarhaven]

Oh wait! They could've asked how to remove Thalia's curse! Huh; can't fault 'em for it, I got so caught up with the Palador meeting myself that I didn't realize till after.

[@MorinehtarTheBlue]

Might not have the power to do so after the transformation from Titan to an aspect of the Sunship. Frankly with everything changing with Aerois' divine power structure the Titans may not be able to do it either.

[@caseyturner6906]

[@Random_Kelsey]

I haven't seen it be mentioned before, although it may have been, but something I've been considering for awhile is that Aila perhaps got shunted into the future. Her memories of being aboard a Starbane ship could be from around the time of Alfheim's collapse, and when whatever went wrong happened she was sent forward in time to a safe place to be protected. Renthra mentioned it'd been many centuries since someone had lightning powers.

[@MorinehtarTheBlue]

They have mentioned cloning and it's kind of like reincarnation. And the only thing that has had any relation to temporal magic has been Hadar thus far. There is still a lot of blanks to fill in but I'm not feeling like this is the answer. How would Aila find that out to complete her arc? Still I'm only here at the halfway point. Anything is possible.

"I wouldn't want to let him go but....I have to"

[@Scott_Burton]

Old video, I know. This normally isn't something I would comment on. But Rhi's makeup in this session... All three of these ladies are lovely, and extremely fun to find in a D&D gaming session, but Ms. Gower, you've got that makeup on point today. I'm always in favor of you bought the spell component pouch, mundane components are kind of covered by that, but when spells call for specific components and/or list an explicit cost component, those are there for a reason. So, I might allow the handwave away "until we get back to society, since I'm going to enforce this going forward" you have the money, you have the components _this time_ but from the next chance to resupply on, you're going to have to explicitly replenish these unusual supplies. (You know that 100 gp pearl for identify that you can use over and over again? Somebody's carrying that, and if they get robbed, that pearl may be part of what was taken. Oh, you're carrying the waterproofed skins that the 500 gold in diamond dust are in (so you can do Greater restorations and not worry about the dust if you take a fall in the river) Joe has it in their pack. If Joe isn't with the party, you can't cast it. If Joe abandons their pack in a dungeon, unless they specifically retrieve that from their pack before abandoning it (or at least in the same session if they would have had the opportunity) those components are gone unless someone goes and retrieves the pack. I mean modern world it's like losing your wallet with your cash, debit and credit cards in it. Sorry, I know you're hungry, but this is a restaurant. If you want food, you need to pay for it. I'm sorry your wallet is 12 miles away, but I'm not giving food away here. 59:58-59:59 Tiangong said what Mark feels too often. 1:04:03-1:04:09 "going to use something that's clearly magical and has runes on it as a walking stick. Cool yeah" Katie, are you unfamiliar with Gandalf the White from Lord of the Rings? "You wouldn't part an old man from his walking stick" referring to his wizard's staff at Rohan? I saw the confusion when they told Lucius they killed the creature. I could tell Lucius was referring to the frost worm/snake creature, and then there was the description of Aila killing the Death Tyrant, I knew this had the potential to be a nothing or to be a big misunderstanding. 1:32:00-1:33:00 So the latter would be the case. There was no joking involved at the time of the conversation, just blatant miscommunication. (I love this party)
