[@cookiemerrick224]

TFS Gaming im hopeing that the pirate lot (spelling?) has a slightly posh voice. like the voice when you have been around an accent so you start to pick it up

[@psychronia]

I have to admit, Ezra is actually making a fantastic captain. He's constantly torn between supporting his crew and trying to rein them in. Even with the crazy ass shit he does like the ball bearings and this episode, he's one of the most sane members of the crew.

[@MrSHADOWANGEL999]

I agree except towards the end, due to what i think the boys may have agreed to if it's what i think it is

[@keving4618]

What we have learned about the asinine centaurs of Ol' Lady Big Rock Mountain from their great diplomat Eloy: -They live in fear of rockslides -Their main magic is druidic and they pray to the mountain -They have short lifespans due to rockslides -Their only book was a joke book belonging to Eloy's father -They are racist towards other centaurs specifically the deer centaurs -They establish a heiarchy by observing the length and girth of male genitalia a.k.a pecker order

[@King-ze2kt]

I'm really proud of Ezra here, I'm glad the crew has noticed that he's trying to put all their needs into serious consideration! I hope they appreciate him, he's a great captain and leader!

[@reyonXIII]

I agree that these last few sessions have shown strong character moments for the characters. In the case of Wake, while I'm naturally not too happy that Lani's showing off more Vegeta-like traits in Wake, he clearly seems to know where it's going and, looking at it in hindsight, was merely baiting Castor rather than completely stroking his pride like Geets does, though he still was. Just that he was clearly trying to get Castor down to a level he could present this offer of an expedition to him. This time, at least, Ezra was there to keep him in check from crossing that line, which is good, coz Wake still seemed like he would have crossed it had he been goaded further by Castor. And well, I ascribe this to Wake having his low moments, especially when he's now finally got a specific target to gun for after looking aimlessly for so long. We will see though if being a One-der will temper him the way it tempered Ezra. And let's face it, Wake is 18 and with two traumatic losses to his name. Once he's let himself a little more loose now that he's part of a group, his guard would be lowered, and he wouldn't be the most rational anyway given the right stimuli. I just hope that, when it comes time to deal with Castor, he'll continue to be smart about it and keep his Vegeta self in check. Ezra's definitely become the responsible guy, which is always great, and being the team's Face helps. Still a crazy move on his part to just suddenly test the beans like that, but I can't imagine how they could've tested that WITHOUT getting someone hurt. Wrong time, place, and company, for sure, but better here than in another situation where that could've screwed them over even worse. The fact that Eloy doesn't have AS much serious baggage as either of them mean that, now, both of them closer to their low points, he's now the anchor of wisdom and stability. Also, YES, SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON ADAPTATION OF THE NATURAL ONE-DERS! BEWARE THE WRATH OF MUMMJA!

[@mantwon5545]

To be fair, vegeta ain’t a bad character

[@psychronia]

You know, the most interesting idea hit me while watching what I missed in the twitch archive. We know that Eloy's home suffers from constant rockslides, *and* that they hate magic. Do you suppose our crew could eventually settle a giant machine there that uses rockslides to generate power? Like...a "Rock wheel", I guess? It would protect his people, turn Ol' Lady Big Rock Mounain's rockslides into blessings, and upgrade their quality of life all in one fell swoop. That'll show those hoity toity cervine centaurs.

[@ajanis95]

This is amazing and if the Grand Design works, I want this to be what Eloy does with it.

[@emetanti]

And get Ol´ Lady Big Roc (AJ strikes again.) Mountain angry? Great idea.

[@psychronia]

Ol' Lady Big Roc Mountain is *always* angry. We might as well make her anger more useful.

[@stephenflint3640]

CalamityNightingale *Jesse Robinson* nope. His whole tribe has a xenophobic dislike, if not outright hatred for any magic that is not druidic in nature.

[@liamfogarty998]

Wake tried to bet himself into slavery. Ezra gives Grammy godly laser eyes to turn into their next meal. WHEN DID ELOY BECOME THE SMART ONE?!

[@Alresu]

He always was. That's why he left Old Lady Big Rock Mountain before she could kill him with a rock slide.

[@timeforsuchaword]

2:32:32 I've never seen so clearly the moment murder goes from second degree to first degree.

[@ajanis95]

Spoilers below: How awesome and full-circle would it be if in the end, Nedra is the one who stops Wake from killing whoever was the one responsible for destroying his village, getting him to walk away from revenge?

[@SoralaxPlays]

[@LewisJohn]

love the little bit of don Zitto when they talked about caster "you don't have to kill him but get rid of him"

[@chaoticjusticezero]

32:22 Wake finally remembered the shock glove!

[@IzzuZiq]

(No spoilers here) This episode REALLY shows how some characters have grown, especially Ezra since he starts showing off his more serious side a bit more often and what Grant admits planning on doing during the final bit call out part if things goes even further south. It's probably why Ezra's my favourite player character (Nedra and Calliope are competing for the favourite NPC for me) and having him as Captain was probably a pretty great decision. Also partially expecting someone (like Ziaka) to start calling him "Dad" regardless of it makes sense or not

[@shinuyashami5595]

Oh man, no daddy play with the snek lady please.

[@GxGWolf]

Izzu Ziq yo you watched the stream obviously don't you think lot resembles the main villain of Austin powers

[@IzzuZiq]

[@GxGWolf]

Izzu Ziq oh I thought of it with the whole tossing the dog thing

[@cavs200]

how about grammy starts to call ezra daddy !!

[@finaldarkfire]

You know at this point, I feel like Ezra should be keeping a Scroll of Suggestion handy for the next time Wake tries to pull more emo/macho lone-wolf(shark?) bullshit. Also, this might just be me, but can anyone else see Ezra turning into a Mal Reynolds-type captain somewhere down the line?

[@stephenmarco2927]

"Risf your welcome on my crew. Deimos isn't!"

[@DracoInduperator]

Oh my god that would be hilarious! Does mean Wake is Jane? Or would that be Nedra? Grammy is obviously River, I would not be surprised in the slightest if she could kill someone with her brain.

[@roninikari]

It'd be nice, but...I just don't see it. If you mean the comedic parts, where Ezra bounces back and forth between an image of "fearless leader, bane of moose and squirrel" and "FEARLESS LEADER, I KILL GODS FOR FUN AND PROFIT", then maybe. However, characters that can do that well usually have a good deal more tragedy to balance them out, and Ezra just doesn't have it. The thing with a Mal Reynolds-type is, they tend to be utterly broken. I can't see Ezra have the entirety of who and what he was stripped from him, only to have to find himself again a piece at a time. That's what makes those types so compelling, the knowledge that they've seen the depths of despair and agony and loss, so clearly and potently that the fact that they can pick themselves up and soldier on, even when all they had is gone and all they were has been torn from them, gives them a pseudo-superhuman quality. I just don't see Ezra having a baptism-by-fire moment that severe, and to give him one that would do the job runs the risk of taking the entire campaign, crew and all, and just running it through the meat grinder until nothing remained, and Zito's just nowhere near ruthless enough to kill the party that hard.

[@FalloutJack]

*Eddie Izzard walks into the D&D session and plants a flag down* Eddie: I claim this land for Britain! Zito: Hey, you can't claim this! We're playing here! Eddie: Do you have a flag? Zito: ...not yet. Eddie: No flag, no ownership! And I'm backing it up with this gun I borrowed from the National Rifle Association.

[@H00rah1]

Our boys need rehab. Eloy for alcohol. Wake for gambling and Ezra for heists. Edit: 29:30 Pliskin: "I'm scare-oused..."

[@rane932]

I love how Lani was ready to gamble Wake away and then Zito immediately shut that shit down

[@SteadFast411]

I don't even think it was because Lani was risking his character; I think Zito knows they've been here for a long time now. The original plan had them meet Caster, then get ready for their voyage. Lani's curve-ball was to host yet another Fighting Pit, this time a 2v2 with more stakes, likely eating up at least an hour or two in story prep and encounter, which would leave them either a) without Wake anymore, or b) mundanely still on the same island as before since they no longer need to find new treasure.

[@AmazingAutist]

mutegrab666 tell that to all the gamblers who are homeless now.

[@Lukeplaysshuff]

I wouldn't mind Wake retiring, it has been 23-25 episodes at this point, I think that maybe a character should retire or die in 5 episodes or less.

[@AmazingAutist]

Luke Bosarge I wholeheartedly disagree. I don't understand this basic bloodlust. I feel like we've gotten to know these characters and a character dying or retiring would leave a hole mystery unresolved about their back story that I'm now invested in.

[@vigorouslethargy]

AwesomeSpider4 I do belive Mr. Luke was being sarcastic.

[@JLF-cn1rr]

Not gonna lie, this was easily the most nerve-wracking session since the Victor fight. (Vague spoilers) I mean, at least Ezra had ignorance as an excuse. Wake's decision making and impulse control seem to go down the toilet when he gets mad. That was just way too big a risk for what basically amounted to a glorified dick-measuring contest. At any rate, this is amazing. I can't remember the last time I've been this invested in any storyline!

[@keving4618]

JLF0518 it's kinda ironic since Wake taught Nedra patience and how to control her rage.

[@psychronia]

Yeah, at this point, I'm actually getting a little frustrated with Wake. I guess that's just a part of his character, but it feels less like him showing more of his nature and more like Lani succumbing to his "I got bored so let's make my character an impulsive sociopath"-itis again.

[@aaronmcclellan7902]

Wake is a sociopath? Let's run down the list of things he learned in this episode. 1. The name of what is most likely his village's murderer. In addition, he was ordered to take no action against her by Lot. He is now faced with the decision to abandon his entire purpose for adventuring and accept that his village was murdered and will receive no recompense, or hang all of his closest friends out to dry. 2. He learned Nedra was a hostage for people that he now has to work for in order to fulfill his promise to Ziaka. 3. He learned just how murdery Nedra's dad is. If Papa comes looking for Nedra, it's a TPK and Wake knows that. Simultaneously, he can't just abandon Nedra. 4. He has to do a favor for, quoting Zito, "a pompous douche" who only won the bet off of a technicality. Out of character, they agree with Zito. In character, Wake sees Nedra down Barabbas, stand for a second or two, then go down. How can Wake not be irritated about that? But yeah. Just a sociopath. Not under enormous amounts of stress and emotion in the episode. Not at all.

[@psychronia]

Aaron McClellan Dude, chill out. I said Lani tends to take his character down the sociopathic route for fun. And "sociopathy" probably isn't the medical term anyway-I forget its exact definition. Sure, Wake has been having a stressful day, but that doesn't make his actions any less impulsively selfish and destructive. I'm big on character progression, and he was doing great with the talk about himself during his date with Calliope and last session's moment with Nedra. To see him completely flip the other way and potentially have to retire his character due to a glorified dick-measuring contest would obviously be beyond frustrating and unsatisfying.

[@relic5752]

Psychronia But that's the thing, it is entirely possible that you are confusing a momentary lapse in judgement due to stress and pent up anger for permanent character regression. I'm not going to pretend to know, but we'll have to wait and see

[@EmptyBrewsky]

Caster forced Wake, Ezra, and Eloy to get a carve, thus keeping them from any deception. Too bad for him....Skrung can always shoot him in the back. Here's hoping!

[@MrSHADOWANGEL999]

deception yes, but if it doesn't stop violence it's gonna be a moot point

[@MJsPepsihair]

I would love for him to die, but I'd feel bad for his daughter

[@MrSHADOWANGEL999]

he was trying to bring her along with him, if worse comes to worse wake will just adopt another student

[@MrSHADOWANGEL999]

idea then, Castor's contract is to take him to the island, not to take him back gotta love loopholes

[@TraciPeteyforlife]

Damn it Grant now I've got Garfield with pimp hat and a small dog. Stuck in my head. I was disappointed no one mentioned the treasure map. It might be worth the money. Oh no.....Nedra's dad is coming. Daddy is angry as well.......Daddy is a Balor.....oh my....mommy save us! Grammy is going to murder arrogant Angel laywer. Sea Hags don't take anyone's crap. Actual that should make Captain Lot very happy.

[@facelessjack442]

mutegrab666 it's called a curse for a reason. We already know he can't control it and but he can probably learn how to control it like a werewolf.

[@Chloe_557]

Technically they said they would ferry him to wherever he wanted, not that they woulf ferry him *back* to ebercall so.. Yano.. He could spend the rest of his life out there and they not break their contract.

[@shadowldrago]

Loopholes are wonderful.

[@Anduril74871]

[@AshBlossomWorshiper]

15:30 Eeloy tipping the part timer was incredibly hilarious.... WHERE'S MY EELOY!

[@EvilDrCatfish]

A little bit of railroading from Zito here, but I found it justifiable because of some of the monumentously bad decisions prevented.

[@edwardhim2276]

Indeed. Lani has a habit of throwing curveballs. Good on zito being able to roll with it. Sometimes it feels like lani is intentionally trying to break the game

[@squizzlor]

Edward Him lani has been trying to break it? Idk id have to rewatch, ill be honest i sorta play rough with my dm time to time, cause i like to explore. But I missed how much lani has caused issue. “Rapter sexbomb”, otherwise throwing punch at a possible pirate exedra, I’ve seen dumb players pull worse.

[@edwardhim2276]

The antagonism itself isn't an issue - freedom to create your game your way is one of the great things of D&D, however, Lani constantly interrupts the DM and kinda forces his way towards his will. I find the consistent interruptions particularly annoying. You want to hear everything the DM tells you so you can make the most informed decision. With Lani, interrupting blocks agency with Grant and Ben. Additionally, it could block critical info. Zito has been quite graceful with dealing with that, but another DM could be flustered by that, and a less graceful DM could just punish the party because of lani's constant interruptions. Also, there needs to be some trust with the story. While it's interactice, the DM is essentially telling a story.... From my end, it seems apparently when Zito is trying to do something, which Ben and Grant seem receptive to as well. Lani doesn't seem to see it, or tries to subvert it. Lani willing to retire wake was the most egregious of the subterfuge, especially considering it was completely unnecessary. I understand Wake is emotionally stunted and he wants to feel like he is in control, but there are other ways to lash out. I agree Lani hasn't been completely disruptive, and some players are far worse, but to me atleast, he seems to metagame a bit. Doing what Lani wants to do, rather than what wake would do.

[@jackiechan715]

Edward Him I would have to disagree with you. Lani is probably the most experienced D&D player in this group, or at least very experienced. He is also very skilled at improv and, at least some form of, acting. I'd also have to say that he knows Wake far better than any of us. So trying to judge whether he's being more Wake or more Lani in his decision-making, is not a good idea. And I very much enjoy the way they all behave. They're all close friends and have fun with this. If any of them were seriously bothered, I'm sure they would settle it off-screen. Especially by this point, but nothing has happened so far. Which says to me that nobody is upset or annoyed.

[@edwardhim2276]

Like I said before, Zito is very graceful in dealing with Lani, which in some cases means using DM privilege to prevent disastrous decisions.

[@vogel968]

Well Zito doesn´t play with alignments because they can stun character growth. The recent Sessions i saw have been more and more shown that Wake looses control easily. The first time it got clear was when he stabbed that deer. Other sessions showed wake as a rational character who thinks things through so that surprised not only me. Maybe Lani somehow got tired from Wake so he throws wrenches around. He claimed to have his next character be a giant turtle and showed interest in them. Maybe it´s his way of subtle getting rid of him.

I felt that Lani was being pretty disrespectful to the rest of the crew with how careless he was playing wake. Especially how he made Caster think that'd get the ship too. If that fight did occur Zito should have made it a difficult one to show that being reckless has consequences.

Question Does Nedra being Wake's student mean she has to be the same kind of monk he is, and if not is there a monk that would allow her to still use her bat?

It depends on what the bat is classified as, monks can use martial weapons like clubs and such. If the Banto is a club then she can still use it well

[@shinuyashami5595]

Micah Breeding She doesn't Need to, I'm sure Wake can instruct her in whatever she follows. As for the Bat. I don't know.

Probably Kensei unless it is a great club which doesn't follow it as it is heavy/two-handed. But Nedra is fucking huge so maybe she can one hand it?

[@nathanenzor2424]

Wakes master was a Drunken Fist monk, and he's an Elemental, so it is possible for her to be different. I personally think it has a lot to do with the type of ki a person has. With her fiery passion I assume something like a Sun Soul monk is possible. DBZ powers for the DBZ character, plus she gets some ranged attacks.

I can see it now. Wake rushes him but Ezra and Eloy try to hold him back. Simon is only sparred when Ezra convinces him that shoveling poo is a fate worse than death.

1:59:00 Zito's face there made me think it was a bag of TPK. Though using something unknown within a tunnel can end up with "rocks fall, everyone dies." But I guess beauty is in the eye of the beanholder... 2:27:00 It's okay, they'll all remember Wake as the dumbass who preached about control while being unable to follow his own advice. 2:54:00 Grammy finally gets the means to destroy the world, as was her plan all along.

James Preston if you've web access on deployment you can use a site like convert2mp3 to download an audio version of the stream. Not sure if that helps?

[@brettz5288]

God Wake was so annoying during this meeting. He assumed Victor was responsible for his family. He wasn't ans almost got everyone killed. Here's about Zaslamel as a lead. Gets all pissed off because he got a tiny bit of information. Doesnt think about anyone but himself or the highly combustible situation they're in and implies he wants to kill her without even knowing what she had to do with anything.

[@ThePhantomTomo]

This episode had me scared several times that our crew wasn't going to stick together or they would wind up screwed somehow. And they're still not out of the rough waters yet, they need to find out exactly how they're going to trick little-dick caster, and then there's that pirate lord. I'm actually completely on Wake's side with that one, who cares if she's a pirate lord supposedly part of the grand design? The pirates are supposed to be known to turn on each other if one of them breaks the code or goes against their group, so why haven't Mead and the others done anything about her attacking the monastary? Wake is right to hate these pirates, they're assholes who don't care as long as it's no skin off their back! Wake and the rest of the crew should MAKE them care by taking skin off their backs if they continue to tolerate this unprovoked attack on monks.

[@chrisparker6517]

Andrew Engelman "taking the skin" might be a good long term goal, but at this current point in time they are grossly out numbered and any altercation with any pirate Lord would end terribly for them.

[@rogaldorn4759]

Impulsive anime revenge plots will get everyone killed. Patience, and leaving it to the reasonable people will be a far, far more productive way of achieving his goal. Wake also needs therapy. Or alot of pipe-weed and a long, nice talk with his closest companions. That should help in making his wisdom stat and behaviour match. If just temporarily.

[@SteadFast411]

Totally on board with all of this. I'll add to it that, yeah, unless Zito throws us a total curve ball, this Zasalamel is indeed Wake's true enemy, and did everything she did out of some evil plot. Therefore I believe the over-arching story concerning her and the Wonders will be trying to oust her as either a liability to the Grand Design pirate lords to the point they'd look the other way, or she will betray the Grand Design, or overstep her own boundaries in some shape, way, or form. I think Wake's destiny (if he can keep his head) isn't to kill her outright, but to break her down with the help of his crew. She's a pirate lord, there's more than one way to get even with her...

[@ThePhantomTomo]

Yeah, I don't think he should be going straight after her getting into a battle as soon as possible or anything like that, but for long term goals, and their own safety because if one of the major pirate lords is a slaughterer of peaceful monks then they should be weary (I'm also afraid this pirate might want to kill Wake even unprovoked, thinking their job isn't complete if one monk is alive). If Ezra talks to Wake then Wake should realize that he's still kind of in the same position he was as a child, he can't save his family by beating her in a fight so he needs to keep Nedra and everyone safe from her grasp until they're all stronger.

[@vogel968]

What also irks me is that we don´t know anything about the monks beside of wakes point of view who was a child at that time. The pirate lord could have had a good reason in retrospective. Maybe they were fanatics stopping the grand design. They did train to battle and it could be an interesting plot twist. Or maybe she isn´t the enemy afterall and was hunting after the one who did it. The grand design may be a thing to stop the onrush or overthrow the navy. Maybe magic isn´t as effective on Machines. Or everyone can hold a gun but learning to cast fireballs can take years so just win with the bigger and quicker army. I am happy that Ezra jumps in to stop wake. He probably in his current mind would have attacked her without thinking when they first meet.

[@nathanenzor2424]

So Nedra’s the daughter of the end-game boss? Huh, neat.

[@MJsPepsihair]

I like to think that if Wake failed the persuasion check in the prior episode, Nedra would have turned on them and they'd have to fight Nedra along with her father

[@nathanenzor2424]

[@kataphrut7740]

A big theme of these Bulkard episodes is Wake making things worse for everyone and Ezra having to diffuse things. It’s frustrating but also great for everyone character development. Ezra really comes into his own here. And meanwhile Eloy is just vibing, being the best. Also, Zito’s performance as Lot is hilarious.
