Why the group decided to engage despite Fabian's exhausted status says a lot about how little they consider the whole picture overall. IMO Brennan is a little too kind, but constant punishment for bad decisions doesn't make for great tv

i hope junior year brings back the maps. I don't mind the theater of the mind stuff, but a lot of the fights would be so cool to see in battle maps. I wouldn't even mind if it was on talespyre like the 7. I understand why they did it this way since it was live but I would have loved to see this battle on a map. I think it would also make things less confusing for me personally

[@IamJacksSTD]

I imagine they will. I'm excited to see the Junior Year Minis.

[@swiftlymurmurs1825]

Most likely it'll have battle sets, the seasons without were mostly either for covid reasons or because the season was in some experimental format

this season was actually filmed and produced live! So they didn’t do the maps and such. I miss the maps but I also love being able to see all the players at the same time🙌

As far as I can tell Junior Year isn't going to be live like Sophomore Year was, so I'd guess they'll have the maps again.

[@tiagoribeiro2357]

I cannot believe how unfair this battle was for the party! Fabian lost his subclass, still had two levels of exhaustion and was targeted by Captain Whitclaw - who had Legendary Actions, Gorgug lost most of his hit points in the first turns, most of the unattackable enemies were exclusively attacking Adaine, Tracker got banished in the first turn, they didn't get a long rest so they had very little spell slots, most of them spent a riddiculous amount of time stunned... Honestly, I'm still surprised they didn't get a TPK nor lost anyone in this episode...

[@cr820]

Agreed. This whole thing leaves me pretty disappointed in Brennan.

[@Cobalt163]

cr820 That’s a little extreme especially considering that a lot of the fight’s difficulty was the result of the player’s having extremely bad luck with their rolls

[@nataliesepulveda688]

The Seacaster Warlocks were supposed to be here to help, plus they made friends with Garthy and Ayda and didnt think to call on them,. Not only that but they had such baaaaaaaaaaad luck with rolls that Brennan was probably doing his best to NOT tpk. Plus Narratively Adaine getting taken is great

[@tiagoribeiro2357]

@@nataliesepulveda688 I agree that Adaine getting taken makes the most sense narratively, plus gave us character development for Fabian. But even after Gilear was sent to fetch Garthy and Adaine managed to contact Ayda, it didn't make much of a difference. Sure they just had to focus their attacks on Captain Whitclaw and some of his crew, but, even then, Sandra Lynn and Riz would probably die if it wasn't for Fig's healing spells

[@theshadowfox9320]

⁠@@nataliesepulveda688the thing is mind flayers don’t normally have legendary actions, granted this was an experienced pirate and it’s his character but the Challenge rating seemed really out of balance as it seems the parties character levels are fairly low at this stage.

[@jbluewind4727]

The first time I saw this episode live, it fucked me UP. I had no idea that my trauma was still that raw, but Adine being locked away and unable to escape, have atonomy, or get away from her abusive father just... hit me like a ton of bricks. I was feeling all the emotions of a younger me and they were overwhelming to the point of an anxiety attack. I felt desperate to help her despite the fact that she wasn't real. Knowing she was there just made me sick to my stomach. That space of time between this episode and the next was HARD. I literally had nightmares of my own trauma most nights. I know now that it was so raw because my dad treated me the same as hers down to being over controlling, cutting me off from any outside support, not allowing any moment of privacy (he literally took my door off the hinges), and beening deeply verbally abusive (this was still happening even when I had to stay with him as an adult after I lost my place in a breakup) and I had only been away from him for 9 months (and would continue to talk to him on the phone for 2 years after until I finally went no contact). At first, I was upset at the show for not having trigger warnings, but I was deep in trauma brain territory by then (I'm also autistic which contributed to my issues plus I was sick with bronchitis at the time). The wait until the next episode kicked my ass, but seeing what happened next helped. I guess it's a testament to how great they are at storytelling that they were able to break me that much. It's been four years. I think I'm doing better than I was back then. I went through a program for people with PTSD, I see a therapist, and I'm on an antidepressant that works for me and have an as needed med for anxiety attacks. The part with Adine still hits a lot harder than I expected it too, but I'm okay and can appreciate the story for what it is instead of just seeing it through a trauma lense. I'm grateful for what the gang created and look forward to having my ass kicked once again for junior year!

[@Terik17]

I loved Adaine the most in this season because she is forced to face her trauma and worst fears (her family being more evil than she knew) and I really enjoyed how Siobhan handled the character development with Aelwyn and everything :)

20:20 Garthy never goes put from the Gardens! Or was that the point... 33:00 Kristen shouldn't have used the share ability with Fabian. Fabian has much more HP than her, AND he is not doing anything useful in the fight, while she does. 34:30 Fuck, she was supposed to be the one best at those throws, and it still didn't help. 45:10 technically, if you are stunned you fail DEX saves automatically. But it's good they only counted it as a disadvantage. They fight was already so unfair to them. 1:01:58 Yeah i agree with Brenan here. 1:03:30 If he had the thief archetype he...could do it as a bonus action. But not get any bonus to it. Damn. Wait, actually, what did Riz put his two Expertises at level 6? 1:09:30 No! Do Shatter! That would solve almost all problems in the fight! Gorgus has 5 HP! Fig has 12! Even if it works, it's not as good as the Shatter. 1:14:20 Might not have happened if Fig used Shatter. And now her action was near useless. Though i guess she can still fight James with Gorgug. 1:17:58 Gorgug should be doing 2 more points of damage with each of his attacks, the bonus from rage. 1:23:53 My brother: "classic Ally". Me: "no, that's POSTMODERN Ally". 1:29:59 She used bonus action for skateboard, she can't use healing word. 1:32:25 You don't need to! The fight against James is won, he has no chance. The only point where the fight was loosing was against the elves, and Adaine took care of that. 1:33:30 He used a weapon! In the Row! 1:35:45 Which is huge overkill, James couldn't have more than 10 or 20 HP. 1:36:43 Ok that's surprising. Though it makes sense he would have something like Relentless Endurance himself. 1:40:40 Which applies to both Lou and Ally. 1:43:40 He has MORE than 133 HP?! 1:58:40 I fully agree. Though it is that way because sometimes people are unsure, and also asking "are we friends?" and getting "no" is harmful for some people, so they just avoid it being explicit. 2:00:50 It's not a duel if there are several! Also Adaine doesn't want to FIGHT. She wants to ESCAPE. They are the ones framing it as a fight. 2:04:44 I would add "until you repent of everything you have done, and actually become a good person", but i understand why that is not on Adaine's mind. 2:22:10 Fabian should go and kill the mugger. That's it. Prove he can still do useful things. 2:25:50 A moment of self-awareness from Fig.

Really loving their character arcs, especially Lou's ennui which feels authentic, and Siobhan's childish, stubborn interactions with her parents and all of her kind. Oddly, since starting to binge D20, I have had these complex, kaleidescopic dreams which I can reliably reenter after waking, something which has never happened before and I attribute to experiencing a story which, while the cast and DM provide nuanced performances, there is so much for my mind to fill in, especially in the live format. Overall it's been a fascinating experience.

These Playlist during battles are insane

[@AuntieCreed]

This whole episode is pure pain. Last episode was just so much crying and this one is just pain, pain and more pain. Riz comes in CLUTCH!!! And then more gut punches! AAAGGGHHHH!

[@BadenPOWER189]

just sad that there are no more battles with figurines.. was so nice to see everything happening visually on the board

[@lunavixrn5651]

it's only because it was livestreamed, most dimension 20 campaigns have even better minis and maps now than they did in season one, except for most of Aabria's campaigns and a couple others. I'm sure Junior Year has amazing quality maps.

[@K1nggh0u1]

Anyone else notice how rizzs gun range change every episode 😂😂

[@yeeyee2278]

I'm at 45 minutes and i can't imagine how this isn't ending in a tpk

“Summer of ‘69” by Brian Adam’s had nothing to do with the year. He was 11 years old in 1969. He is talking about the sexual position of…… eagles.

[@Greg1096]

I really wish they would go back to using miniatures for combat, figuring speed and distance is sometimes a hassle but it does make the combat more realistic in my opinion

[@yeeyee2278]

As someone with aphantasia I completely agree

[@michaelcassidy5022]

A stunned condition with no "maximum" duration is kinda bullshit and I think this fight really demonstrates why.

[@GoofballGamingMyDude]

I love this show. You guys are epic this was hilarious

[@TheKoriKasai]

You know, this fight was so unsatisfactory. Mostly just cause of bad rolls I'm aware. I can't blame anyone. Though maybe it's a good thing Fabian was stunned the entire time because he would have been about as useful as a first level pc in this fight

[@shlongkingkong9035]

Well it was all Fabians fault he picked a fight he couldn't win and crippled himself essentially but when the whole party was there they did win so yes all Fabians fault and they didn't have his "papas" followers to help

[@TheKoriKasai]

@@shlongkingkong9035 From the way the fight went, it seemed like this was planned and having the followers was intended. Though even if it went to plan, Fabian still got stunned turn one so it's unlikely that would have changed much for him
