The part when they tried to talk Gundrun down really hurt. I wasn't expecting him to get shot, though

[@esper6119]

Killian is the best girl I mean, she's the only girl, but fight me

[@BaronFowling]

Nah one more female character has appeared ;)

[@anFBGMproduction]

@@BaronFowling You could argue two, but you'd have to check the stock room first.

[@alyxa.p.7223]

u know what they say in slovania only girl is best girl

[@thewordywarlock7159]

I'm gonna say Gundren's dog managed to escape the cart during the week they were in the mines, and got picked up by a different group of adventurers in the the Sword Mountains. So he wasn't in the cart when Phandalin got glass'd.

*slides into the Fruity Rumpuss Asshole Factory chat* Hello there fellow Homestuck

[@japjeff12]

thank you for the awesome shows!!!

[@AcrizCaazi]

The whole “the only way is (probably) to get the wearer to remove the magical item themself” reminds me a bunch of the whole “Trixie and the Alicorn Amulet” thing from mlp, with said magical item corrupting the user and, of course, the only solution being that Trixie had to remove the amulet herself. Etc etc etc Just the nostalgia of being reminded of the early days of the show made me feel all warm and fuzzy...

[@luctran-td7qd]

i think gundren lost a couple of brain cells when he put the glove on

[@arielhare1254]

pfFt omfg. The audible code still works what the fuck

[@skyethetsubaki]

[@ixea_idol9392]

no one: not a single soul: The Adventure Zone ending theme: *furious earrape*

[@seraphoconnor4297]

so lotr basically

[@Chellariat]

Seraph O'connor no, dungeons and dragons

[@SasquatchKnees]

Wow I can't believe it you figured out that most modern fantasy is based off lotr But no seriously Tolkien had a ton of good ideas and we just use his work as the "cannon" fantasy

[@papaaeon7210]

Not gonna lie, joining a super secret good guy organization sounds trite and boring.

[@PyrokineticFire1]

They find a way to make it fun & not too boring

[@sameenshaw9670]

Not gonna lie, you should probably listen to the rest of it

[@Arrakiz666]

Tell that to the brain-head behind Forgotten Realms, because that shit is C A N O N.

[@sarafontanini7051]

thaat was a pretty dick move on the DM's part though. Like, NONE of the guys was given a chance to do anything, and it feels REALLLY railroady. I mean sure it makes sense, but still, the guys were PROBABLY pretty annoyed.

[@MeleeTiger]

So to recap, a glove that can reduce a town to glass and kills the wearer, warrants the warning "he could destroy the entire world!"?... Not an overreaction at all, nope, not like it was super fucking anti-climactic or anything. I say this as someone who's also played this setting, just fucking underwhelming considering her warning.

[@xalrath]

You know how in lord of the rings the One Ring that Rules Them All, when worn by a small dipshit hobbit, just makes it immortal, invisible, and kind of weird? You are best off thinking along those lines. Later on, further *KKKKXSHSSSSHHH* are found. One of them, in the hands of someone who -kind of- knows what he's doing, threatens to simultaneously destroy the world AND unmake the boundaries between life and death! The Raven Queen is not pumped about this!

[@xalrath]

(fun fact: it's not even the necromancy-related one)

[@MeleeTiger]

Yeah no I get that, my group is currently at the Crystal quest in the labs, it's just the way it's described seems to be only the glove when she's all "it could destroy the world!" and we never see that level of power.

[@RavenMoodle]

but the point is that it "Could" in general, right, not that it necessarily was going to. and it was kind of a necessary statement, as that's sort of information that anyone facing the glove would like to posses, yeah? the extent of its powers? making it a logical statement in general to make.

[@xalrath]

Seriously, it's the Evocation artifact. If the McElboyz were slightly more up on D&D tropes, I'd call Gundren's fate a reference to one of the oldies of the genre: level seven is where wizards go to die. Fireball is a very powerful spell when you get it! It does a ton of damage! In a deceptively large AOE! Large enough that if your DM is not the forgiving type, odds are the first time you cast it you and the rest of the party are in the blast radius! And everybody in the blast radius with less than the fighter's HP pool dies!
