The Halls of Arden Vul Ep 62 - Old School Essentials Megadungeon | In the Court of the Goblin King

The AV Club has gained an audience with the Great Goblin King! The party has already done much to please His Majesty, and they have further tribute to lay at his feet. Into what machinations will the King embroil the party? And more importantly, what rewards will he bestow upon them for their service?

Beastmen: imperial soldiers who worship a god queen and control an underground city Trolls: massive and ancient creatures who own the primary means of transport around Arden vul. Goblins: fun little guys who cook their food in a giant trash fire and jump on trampolines. The AV club chose the objectively best allies

[@dgrayk]

This is the correct take

[@JosephCraig]

black, red, yellow, green and white... a year in waiting for the tiles and an address.

[@mattavaricios4679]

The whole time we've been in there, guided and welcome, I've been wondering what it *would* have been like coming in to this space as unaware explorers (our default)...blundering in as part of an exploration delve, neutral to, or possibly even *hostile* goblin tribes.

[@guerintueno2066]

One question that the party didn’t ask (but still has time to). Who do the Goblins already have relations with that the party can use to open conversations with also? The Trolls are the key factions that apparently everyone needs to know. But seeing Settites in the Goblin King’s Court raises questions about how the factions co-exist, trade, and relate.

1.5k views & only 190 likes is just plain wrong. You guys are the best!

Gosh, the goblins are just so fun

[@sweed84]

Awesome payoff! Have fun at GaryCon!

I keep seeing this thumbnail in my feed, and just picked up on the King Crimson reference. Nice.

Who doesn't love a good payoff session! So well earned and yay for a proper alliance at long last! Love the goblins and their king.

I think Mort should find this scepter, and proclaim himself King 1:27:57

Shhhhh don't say it so loud, the king might hear you

[@michaelmorrison8679]

oh man... we're almost to a SHOPPING episode!!!!! my breechclouts need upgrading.

[@magdaleneabiuso65]

59:46 Jon's just describing me in a dressing gown.

Bailiff Drizzt, the 'd' is silent. Feels like the boys just opened up the map in an unexpected way. I'm looking forward to the misadventures🥰

[@GeekNGame]

I love watching 3D6 down the line!

[@cavalier973]

“The Eunuch Ogres of GoblinTown”’is the name of our band’s newest concept album.

[@Steven.T.Y.]

So much satisfaction today! Ah, relief flows over me!

[@cavalier973]

Go ahead and hit that “like” button. It’s the right thing to do.

[@Metal_Horror]

It's literally the first thing I do after clicking a 3d6 video. There are only three channels for which I do that. This channel isn't only criminally under watched, but criminally un-thumbs upped. I know there are at least a couple thousand regular watchers that follow the series, so why not give it a like? Like the videos!

[@3D6DTL]

@Metal_Horror This is the way! 🤘

[@AlexS-sw1mj]

This really is the highlight of my week.

[@roblilley76]

Another fantastic episode. Have a great time next week at GaryCon. Very jealous 😂

[@3D6DTL]

Thank you! We will report back!

[@roblilley76]

@@3D6DTL Awesome. Thank you

[@DiceTomb]

Perfect, just sitting down for my Tuesday evening viewing. Let’s have some more goblin madness. Great work guys.

[@rrcabr]

Not only a full set of tiles but also a savepoint back to the court? The goblins are the best (if not for that whole thing with the Darlings...)

[@timothyreal]

Great episode!

[@lukejackson3901]

Incredible

[@jaybakata5566]

@1:43 The look on the players faces, priceless. Cameras ftw.

[@javiergege1062]

I just love love love all the great content you make, guys. And it's just a joy to see you all having a great time, just regular roleplaying, no over the top drama. I hope you had a blast at Gary Con. 🎉

[@mattavaricios4679]

Thanks so much! Gary Con was amazing. We got to meet, hang out, and even play with some of our listeners--a major highlight to an incredible trip!

[@jessemorgan7480]

Criminally under watched

[@BaltoBruiser]

Another great epidsode fellas! Loved Jon's role playing of King Weskenim and the tiles are going to open up so much with AV for the Club.

[@Epic501]

Ah yes, finally, we've arrived at the simping for goth mommy role play section

[@dgrayk]

[@Dirus-Nex]

What a great episode! Guys, where you not going to ask for control over the area in the halls of thoth that has the fire pit and stairs up to hall of heroes (name is correct, right?)?

[@warduke42]

I was thinking we should ask for that for sure

[@Dirus-Nex]

@@warduke42 I was surprised when you guys didn’t. Ted thanks for the response!

[@beezzaroll]

Hah nice cat gag

[@Muzgrob]

Complete teleport stone set! Time to return to ice land to see what was going on there!

[@guerintueno2066]

Hi John - if the WHOLE of the Goblin territory now counts as safe territory for the party (so long as they’re on good terms with the Goblins and the territory remains intact), do they need to get the treasure all they way down to Goblin town to count, or does the Pyramid itself count (which your wording at the end of the show would suggest). In which case do the rest of the party up top get an XP bonus too?

[@guerintueno2066]

*Safe Haven - typing while distracted.

[@3D6DTL]

Yeah, probably. I’ll calculate that later.

[@cavalier973]

[@daveannis4526]

Hey guys, what software and equipment do you use to record your sessions?

[@3D6DTL]

It’s a laundry list, the subject of which probably warrants its own video, but at the heart of the recordings is good ol’ OBS!

[@magdaleneabiuso65]

Is Ted's Ogres only wear belts a reference to the belt thief Ogre in the first Baldur's Gate? The same ogre that has the "cursed" Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity that Mike referenced when they found the cursed torch?

[@AlexS-sw1mj]

Wow- never thought of that. I'd have even more respect for the man if that was true but I just took it as the obvious way to tell the ogres were eunuchs if they are nekkid down below.

[@cavalier973]

Apparently, goblins are from the Planet Melmac

[@cavalier973]

The goblin tribes: Black snot clan Green snot clan Red snot clan Black earwax clan Yellow pus clan Dainty-toes clan

[@jaybakata5566]

Who was at David's door? Someone selling 'forget the last 20 minutes of your life' cookies? Just hilarious. Pretty sure you know what I am talking about.

[@dgrayk]

haha i wish!

[@cavalier973]

Wasn’t Euphemism the name of one of the early PCs?

[@davichon63]

Looks like you guys are "Made Men" now. Congrats! (Funny how?)

Best playthrough on the youtube of any ttrpg system. Thanks! If I would have known that you were going to GaryCon. my wife and I were going to but I couldn't find any open tables to play. Have fun, as always in Wisconsin, drink the beer and eat the cheese curds! :D

[@mattavaricios4679]

Sorry we missed meeting you, but other than that, I think we did right by Wisconsin, and did our fair share of damage to the beer and curd supply!
