Billy is literally just gaston

[@LegendsofAvantris]

And Fipps is absolutely just LeFou

[@smilerat8070]

I was literally coming down to comment that!!! XD

[@nineplague43994]

Thank God I'm not the only one who thought that!!

[@HlootooThunderhammer]

He gave me those vibes the moment he first appeared.

[@freckledcracker1481]

Fantastic that the Arch Bishop's personality reflects all 7 of the deadly sins.

[@jellyhappening1458]

Mace's reaction to the "walk into a bar joke" is my new favorite thing

[@sanctuary_polaris]

Same!

[@hollow9122]

I’m definitely getting Quasimoto vibes from Hugo and the arch bishop

[@bugwatson9052]

Im gonna literally cry, ill fillet the priest myself if he doesnt stop being mean to that poor sweet baby Hugo. hes not ugly, hes a sweet boy and i love him.

[@ashengrey7530]

“You’ve been eyeing me in the streets…” “Meet me outside in ten minutes and we’ll have a go.” *he looks you up and down and licks his lips* “I can’t beat down two skinny boys in the street this evening…” *his chest slides across your body* “your breath smells real nice” “there’s so much spit… where does he get it all from?” *they stay in a tender embraced (grappled)* ALL OF THE INNUENDO! Also when he put his boot on the table I really wanted someone (Farren or Lethica) to just fucking cut his Achilles tendon. Lethica uses the knife she was holding behind her back

[@ainamedoliver]

FUCK- "Cut his Achilles tendon" I fucking felt that somehow. *how could you do this to me, my legs are in eternal pain-* Edit: "my fucking legs." -M.F

[@RatinaKFCdeepfryer]

OUT OF CONTEXT THOSE DON'T EVEN SOUND LIKE INNUENDOS AS MUCH AS THEY SOUND LIKE FULL-ON FLIRTING 💀

[@Kirinmon]

​@@RatinaKFCdeepfryerit sounded like full on flirtations in context to be fair

[@kingofravens215]

I don’t trust that bishop as far as Yorgrim can probably throw him

I don't trust him as far as Virgil could throw him

[@harleychaos383]

Bag is my fav character hope nothing bad happens to it

[@smackthesun2377]

Maces innocence and hearing the bar joke for the first time almost had me on the floor 😂😂. I was surprised to not hear his laugh immediately the long pause and ohhhhh just made it a million times better

[@fluffydestroyerofworlds2465]

Someone better protect hugo, he is such a sweet boy

[@The_SamPi]

I'm loving the cursed bag of holding! Waiting for the moment it snatches something up on its own!

[@jellyhappening1458]

Everytime Yorgrim talks to the Archbishop i become so stressed I have to take a minute

[@GinRyuKaza]

I had to pause the video several times, when the had a private meal with the Archbishop. The life lesson "Don't poke the bear" doesn't not seem to exist in ANY of their heads but Marius and Farryn's. I wonder how close to death they all were, poking the archbishop in his own house! XD

[@BOWNK]

The French vibes of Cyril are IMMACULATE. Beauty and the Beast, Hunchback of Notre Dame, all we need is the Phantom of the Opera to get the trifecta of fucked up French Men 😂

[@TrashFire_Maxwell]

I can't wait until they kill this 'holy' man. The fact he's treating Hugo so badly makes me so sad, a good young man like Hugo deserves everything in the world. Can I adopt Hugo? Heck, can we all adopt Hugo, make him our collective son.

[@LightningWolfTabaxi]

Yes we must save poor Hugo

[@LLCCB]

"You can learn everything you need to know from fighting" is the most barbarian thing ever. (Except for I go into a rage)

[@noitslily]

@1:27:46 the sexual tension between van brunt and yorgrim in this scene is making me lose my mind 😂😂😂 Also, love how the rest of the party are all in full support for this fight

[@Mightymajin]

Yorgrim could do SO much better

[@allodynia]

49:41 I’m sorry but Jericho and Virgil are just amazing, absolutely hilarious.

[@Mightymajin]

Poor Virgil, he would've LOVED that display of Gluttony

[@NayteYouFool]

It's been a long while since I've hated and wanted fictional characters to die as much as I want Billy and the archbishop to get it 😂

[@xmollyx4836]

The talent and imagination in this group amazes me every single time

[@jellyhappening1458]

Disappointed that Yorgrim lost the fight, happy that at least Jericho made him shit his pants.

[@SpiderLily38]

Mikey's song writing abilities for Jericho are the best. I'm only halfway through this episode and I wanna see the Arch Bishop and Billie get wrecked

[@Bunnybunbun82]

Durian fruit, Peter Gabriel, and brown notes............oh my!😂🤣

[@LegendsofAvantris]

Beauty. Pure beauty.

[@davidpaul3135]

The fact they didn’t all go directly to Phillip to get their reward bugged me so much especially since they mentioned it in character 🤣 clearly their job isn’t done but I would have for sure attempted to get payment with the proof of the moon and all that hahaha

[@abigailmartin2650]

this is the most homoerotic fight in all of dnd history. and thats saying something

[@powerglide494]

im adopting hugo, hes my son now thank you. I will feed him many ducks and chickens

[@airsickorca1265]

Don't forget the nuggies and tendies

[@exodon1]

First half: Me "GLUTTONY! THE LAST SIN" Second half: Me "a FIGHTER should not be doing D8s with fists. Not even monks do that at this level!"

[@mimiheonsu5609]

That smexual tension between Yorgrim and Vanbrunt is too palpable XD

[@richie-legendsofavantris9959]

Billy Van Brunt definitely cheated first....

[@WorldWearyAngel]

Based solely on the fact that Nikki gave Anya the russian accent which ive only seen her do with hags before im gonna say Anya is evil XD

@@brrrnaner its veeeery strange that THAT book was hers. how could Anya and Nicolette have the same book at the same time? Nicolette said she had it since she was a baby, and Anya said she got it taken away when she got to the orphanage, which was yesterday... soooooo

When I realized the Arch Bishop is basically the BIGGEST hypocrite and also VERY similar to Frollo from Hunchback of Notre Dame... I got excited and was like, "OH THIS DUDE IS A BIG BAD GUY!"

[@boop783]

i feel like Mace should've been allowed to roll something for damage, just saying 7 every round sounds so unsatisfying 😭😭

[@NCcody811]

This is now my favorite DnD campaign on the internet.

[@dagreenmusketeer2556]

Dunno if it's just me but Anya's initials, A.A., can also stand for Arabella Azran. It's probably just me overthinking because Nikki's using the same voice for the both of them

[@arxxslxxgh]

halfway through and I desperately need someone to call him Billy the b-tch to his face

[@PartTimeGoblinSlayer]

The world is Billy's/ Gaston's lolipop I guess.😂 Also I love how Lethica's bag has so much attitude.😁

[@lanceanderson8318]

/em fondles Van Brunt's package. says "Is this for me." hearing "no" then says "then getit out of my face."

Mace laughing at the most basic joke ever had me rolling

[@Edyta_thebeaniosis]

I am about to throw hands with the archbishop, Pholtus help me.

[@legrue1]

How is a barbarian going to fight in a pit fight and Not use reckless attack on every attack and Not start in a rage?

[@laundrybear6195]

I'm sorry I look up for two seconds and Mace pulled out a mug three times the size of his hand made out of a horn of some thing and just chugging it

[@graxal8076]

One of the first times I’ve ever gotten so viscerally enraged at hearing an NPC is when archbishop taintface talking to hugo

[@LLCCB]

Oh no, Sir Marco, not the spooky mines...

[@stephenfrench2003]

I genuinely wanna know how Billy was able to do so much unarmed damage. Is that some feat? Or did the dm just decide that he gets a d6 instead of a d4?

[@Mightymajin]

My guess is he has the Unarmed Fighting style, which turns his damage dice into a d8

[@gabrialabbott8171]

Nickie actually made me mad at the way the arch bishop treats Hugo, I know it's just a ttrpg, but it truly feels real when y'all are playing, great roleplaying lol.

[@attacksnake13]

I feel like Nikki should have rolled at disadvantage for his perception of Briggsy's spell, cause yes grappling

[@stourmymcphearson9755]

I keep getting "Hunchback of Notre Dame" vibes evertime they are around the Archbishop.

[@momokittykitty]

I call it borrowing without permission with no intention of returning it. 😂

[@LLCCB]

Oh god, that cliffhanger

[@LLCCB]

Rage Yorgrim! Rage rage rage.

[@michellehonour782]

I have a feeling that Mace isn't familiar enough with barbarian as he should have a roll for damage even without a weapon and should have some abilities to use other than just raging. I've never played a barbarian but my husband does now and then and he doesn't need a weapon to mess things up.

[@BooGhosty]

It was my impression that Mace wanted a truly fair fight. No weapons, spells, abilities, etc. Essentially just back-to-back unarmed attack rolls to see which of them could pummel the other unconscious.

[@user-ok4pk2mp3e]

Is the orphan Anya a Spy x Family reference?

Honestly if Van Brunt ever actually met my character Elizabetha he wouldn't have lasted this long she would have found a way to kill him for what he did to them when they were going to Ciril ;p

[@elizabethtravis7332]

Honestly, it’s frustrating seeing how much religion, God, and fighting against evil is portrayed as a bad thing in this campaign. Especially considering how many viewers tend to blame God for the wrongdoings of people who claim to serve Him but represent Him falsely.

[@HlootooThunderhammer]

It’s pretty frustrating and annoying, especially with how ubiquitous it is in media. However, it appears they’re taking heavy influence from The Hunchback of Notre Dame and the irl Salem Witch Trials, which, sadly, had a lot of misguided people claiming to be godly Christians. Still, it’d be nice to seem some nuance. Like Foltice (however you spell it) is genuinely a decent deity, but the archbishop is a just a massive prick and misrepresenting his will. How ironic would it be if the orphanage mistress was a more accurate representation of a Foltice follower?

[@HlootooThunderhammer]

Actually, there could be a really interesting positive, maybe Christian-ish campaign to glean from this. Like, let’s say that somehow proper followers of Foltice(?) arrived and instantly knew the Archbishop was full of it, as the town was rotting long before the corruption came. They grill him on the tenants of their religion and stuff, line it up with his actions, and call him out on his failings. They could also teach the people the _real_ #OneTrueWay and possibly cause division, amongst the other stuff going on. No idea how this would fit in with The Crooked Moon campaign proper but it’d at least be *really* friggin cathartic for me because dear Lord in heaven do guys like him make me irritated, FAR more than any atheist. I guess that’s why Marius is my fave. He voices my frustrations lol. 😌

[@tyleriron-bear177]

It's not that surprising. Christianity is rarely about the teachings of Christ

[@elizabethtravis7332]

That's exactly what it's meant to be about. The problems arise when humans, being flawed, make a mess of it. I understand that religion becomes tyrannical when it is used to control rather than to honor God and other people. What i don't appreciate is when people assume or portray warped religion as the norm. The portrayal isn't fair, and it misleads people. If the issue of people practicing Christianity badly is to be discussed, it should show the good examples of Christianity and not just the bad ones.@@tyleriron-bear177

[@elizabethtravis7332]

@@tyleriron-bear177 That’s exactly what Christianity is meant to be about. I’ll admit, when people go bad, get Christianity wrong and make it about themselves rather than honoring God and other people, it becomes a terrible sort of tyranny. However, I think it is unjust and inaccurate to portray or assume that Christianity done wrong is the norm.
