SPOILERS 2:49:41- the real dragon was the friends we made along the way

[@legion2k111]

Please please please HR, if he's on for it, Ravs would be such a good addition as a permanent resident of the HR crew. He adds a new dynamic to the group and gels so well with you all! Love you HR, and love you to Ravsy boy

[@YOGI-kb9tg]

id love to see him rejoin as a new character

[@ChronoBolt]

If not as a permanent member, I'd love for him to fit a roll similar to how Ashley was with Pike in the original Critical Role campaign. Just popping in whenever available, for one or two episodes at a time

[@weslooos]

I have to compliment Ravs on beeing a guest star thats very calm, doesnt outshine is party members. And stil plays a very established and memorable character.

2:50:03 MAJOR SPOILERS JOHAN WAS THE DRAGON ALL ALONG!!!! That was a crazy prediction Tom

[@ashtyn_zinn]

Prediction before i see the remaining video. Johan is the manifestation of the storm dragon's mind. He is the storm dragon, trying to save himself.

[@ashtyn_zinn]

CALLED IT!

[@nikolasgalaxy636]

@@ashtyn_zinn I feel as though everyone called it

[@garrethopwood8178]

Awesome episode! Very interesting battle design, great story moments and that twinned chain lightning was clutch considering how much of the party was in rough shape by the end of the fight. Thank you HR crew!

[@raindrop4308]

It's high rollers time~ hell yea

[@Z4m0ht]

Got literal goosebumps from that Quill line; "for the mercy of Myrskyr..." Whilst descending, radiating and healing! Simply gorgeous!

[@sanddry738]

This was a really unique and tense fight for sure! The party really needs to invest in stuff for Lucius though. That low AC is destroying him. Johan was also an awesome character and Rav played him so well. Can’t wait to see what happens for the Jingle Jam!

[@Trigun99]

Just finished the VOD of this, so good! Stopping by to leave a like, and say I love you all!

[@rknowling]

"for the mercy of Myrskyr and by the grace of H'Esper"

[@RabidBlackwatch]

The pin badges are so freaking adorable

[@thebigbrainchannel6750]

That intro was very good it got me The ads also got me

[@clailia21]

It's been one awesome encounter after another for Quill's trial! Mark, great job designing these, they all felt SO close and tense and super satisfying.

[@marksimons974]

Awesome ending to an Awesome arc!

[@Crispi1260]

A wonderful job as always. Trott was on point with the music throughout, as always. A hearty well done to the team.

[@toreyjones5715]

Mark, if twinned chromatic orbs are separate attack rolls, why on earth would they be the same damage roll? I ask a year later.

[@warforged79]

Totally agree mate

[@jayphillips4167]

I think because the way they do twinned spells here is by Lucius pulling another orb from the first attack instead of making two seperate orbs iron man style

[@lloydpetersen2]

So mark pulled a forbidden kingdom on yeah, when jet lee character turned out to be a strand of hair from the monkey king. I want Quill to be able to breath a cone of lightning.

[@GeckoGamer-sk8rv]

I’m all caught up after 2 years!!!

[@dadriangreen6179]

Spoilers.... Saw this coming but jeez, still made me tear up. Ravs and Johan were amazing, thank you for everything you brought to the table.

[@unnamed628]

Ahh made a noise when Phaedris' inscription was read ;;❤️❤️

[@kellygingrich4302]

The Valley of Storms arc was one of my favourite so far - so glad we finally came back to this one!

[@maddog1794]

Hey highrollers!!! Just thought I’d say thank you for getting me into dnd with your channel. It has gotten me closer to my friends and has brought me into a new community. I am currently in four campaigns and it’s all because of you guys. Love ya!!❤️❤️ Also haha first lol

[@godfreemorals]

Ravs was great! Make him a regular player please (I mean, if he wants to)

[@dukeolizards5643]

"Step into my parlor" said the DM to the players...

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

I KNEW IT!!!! I knew that Johan was a mimic from the future. Totally called it.

[@Razorwingcw]

I thought he was a ditto from Pokémon, so got that wrong

[@godfreemorals]

"Squishy boy's club" LOL 23:18

[@philipdrum8386]

super cool episode and a really fun battle with amazing mechanics! what more could you want?

[@tikaepixwhom666]

Kinda sad to see Ravs go.. He feels sort of like a part of the family now. Glad he was invited on in the first place, though!! ❤💖💗

[@godfreemorals]

I'm new to this (having only watched the previous episode, the very first episode and now this episode) but just wanted to say that I've tried watching other ttrpg live play video thing KZbin whatevers before (including the famous one) and this game and group are totally the best (personal subjective opinion notwithstanding). Keep up the good work guys!

[@ashmedlin7377]

💯✓agree. I love critical role too but honestly I think mark is even better than Matt Mercer. I'm s an unpopular opinion but I do.

[@robbycovello5026]

The KZbin squad be like, “Dang I didn’t know cyber Monday’s as on a Friday.” Trott btw I love your adds they have been getting progressively better and I can’t wait for the rest of the episode.

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

I am waiting for him to do one that is totally normal and bland just to throw us for a loop.

[@FrumpybutSuperSmart]

The beginning of the Tempest Dragon scene felt very Legend of Zelda boss fight.

[@YouGotMerkedPlays]

I got major WoW raid boss fight vibes with the this fight and the two trials before it. Really awesome encounters

[@ChronoBolt]

1:55:30 Nova creates an orbital laser platform

[@EverlastingEclipse]

Johan was basically Tidus

[@MrAltissimo]

I was getting some major Nameless King vibes as the fog faded.

[@stevenbeagle7040]

Hope ravs comes back

[@tankul1234]

What an epic episode. I love your campaign. I started watching this campaign after first watching Strahd mark you are a genius with Strahd.

[@orenben-yosef6616]

I know this is an epic battle and they are under stress, but how can they forget SO MUCH?! Ignoring Beacon of Hope, forgetting corruption restarts after falling… I mean Aaaaaaarrrgh!!!

[@seldomseen1001]

those black squiggly things are awesome

[@Lyki27]

I listen to these while working and I hate when Mark does the weird sucky noises when things are wounded. Its such a good, creepy, weird sound effect.

[@IndigoF0X]

I’ve finally caught up! Just got to watch the currently unlisted video and then I can finally watch live 😭

[@zachs7268]

Hello guys! I'm sure you know already, but it looks like part 1 of this episode is missing from the list of podcast episodes, at least on Stitcher, I'm not sure about anywhere else. Love watching you all!

[@caseyneiderman7702]

Aila is Not educated, but she is Street Wise!!! 13 Wisdom!

[@Link-cb5ro]

I was ravs to stay in high rollers...it would be so coooool

[@aniqueevans1547]

I find it baffling that Mark hasn't given poor Lucius a ring or cloak of protection. At level 12 your AC should be higher than your overall character level. Also, why on earth does he not have the spell mage armor? It's no wonder he goes down so much.

[@michalhavranek1878]

Wonderful episode!

[@durokkk]

Drinking tea and watching

[@dinorocks4887]

Would you ever do a one shot or campaign adventure with monsters of Murka/restaurants and retailers? It's a parody setting based off America and it looks like a blast

[@wafflebrains2702]

I got heavy Visions of N'zoth vibes from this one

[@isaacalien]

Level 13? LEVEL 13?!?! TEAM DEATHMATCH IS BACK ON!! HR vs CR! Place your bets!!!

[@mme.veronica735]

2:36:21 Technically she couldn't in this circumstance as this dex save targets multiple creatures. That part Rhi duduhduduhed over is important "... you can add you Shield's AC bonus to any Dexterity saving throw you make against a spell or harmful effect *that targets only you* " (pg. 170 of the PHB)

[@kyleweir689]

This group is really, REALLY bad at reading the whole of their abilities. Ravs should not have been able to twin chain lightning as it CAN target more than one creature the same way Earthen Grasp can, technically

[@Elros89]

[@elldarr_9135]

Spoilers I fucking called it! I knew Ravs was the dragon (or at least part of it) all along! I love it. Johandrius the Storm Dragon, soooo cool! So now Johan will always be with them, as part of the Spear of Oracles! Let’s hope Ravs can return again sometime, maybe even play the dragon? 0.o Anyway thank you so much HighRollers for another amazing episode :D

Real question is can Quill replace his other eye with the spears crystal. Slowly become more magic than birb so he can live the same span as the rest of the party.
