I thought they were all joking about Matt doing DM punishments until this episode.

[@High-LordHarza]

@@rheyapigors5511 he often rolls for jokes, but in this case an encounter seemed apropriate to roll it seems :D

I always forget that is what bowser is.

[@octavianaugustus06]

Is Bowser a Dragonturtle or a Lionturtle? On one hand, he breathes fire. On the other, he has hair.

[@raymondfisheriii791]

Octavian Augustus I tend to believe that Bowser is actually a Tarasque. Not the one from D&D, the legend that that monster is based off of. It tends to be drawn as if it has a man’s head, The red mane of a lion, green scales and a green turtle shell with red spikes, and it’s classified as a dragon that breathes fire and was incredibly hard to kill according to it’s initial legend.

Sean Boyle I had caught up the day before episode 100 would’ve come out

[@bleachbleachBLEACHER]

If there had to be a hiatus, at least it happened immediately after the conclusion of a story arc and not before the peace talks. That would've sucked as a cliffhanger.

[@Altyrell]

I loved that, after they ended the session, Travis had asked Matt as to whether they would've came across the Dragon Turtle had they gone the other way; with Matt saying that they wouldn't have encountered the Dragon Turtle.

What a cliffhanger, it feels like season 1 just ended and now season 2 is in the works but it’s just so painful to wait

[@aimeepollock2943]

... what are the chances the dragon turtle is here to teach the gang a secret bending move? Marisha would be very disappointed in the fans who don’t recognize this AtLA reference.

Dragonturtle =/= lionturtle

[@horserage]

> what are the chances the dragon turtle is here to teach the gang a secret bending move? CR is it's own entity dude, doesn't need to rely on other IPs as a thematic crutch, Matt and the players are just, better then that.

[@135mikerules23]

“Orly do you know him?!” Edit: 10:18 After what happened with the whole “auditors” gag, you’d think they’d remember what happens when you “poke the DM”. At least Travis seems to remember what happened last time. Edit Edit: 10:30 I love how during the transition if you listen closely, it sounds like something swimming underwater.

[@Langston42]

That pause before Matt said Fjord was breathing again felt like a small eternity.

[@egetopal5555]

“I don’t wanna fight a fucking sea dragon!” FJORESHADOW!

[@MrIronWar]

I had the feeling that this was payback for the tattoo joke the crew made thus Matt made them encounter the dragon turtle. Who knows, could be friendly. *knock on wood* Ya think they learn with Gelidon.

[@Cragified]

White Dragon's and Dragon Turtles are as feral as feral gets respectively XD. Dragon Turtle even more, however a Dragon Turtle wants most is the treasure in ships so they can be paid tribute and do honor the tribute. But while the M9 have a decent amount of wealth they don't have a lot of large pieces of wealth so who knows. But this is Matt's world and if wants this thing to be able to be reasoned with he can certainly do so.

[@galaxysloth955]

I just had a thought, the look fjord gave when he answered to having a tooth pulled and the fact that he filles his tusks but they can grow back makes me think that maybe the mean kids in his past did somthing horrible like pull or damage his tusks? And that's why he would file them? Or im just over analysing. Probably that.

[@josieholloway3286]

I think he was definitely thinking about that, but from what I remember about him talking about it ages ago, he "did his own dental work", and I imagine there was a time when he may have tried to pull his own teeth in response to the bullying he endured because of them

[@sybariticcupboardrat3763]

Matt is Zuul: Choose and perish. Choose the form of the Destructor. Travis is Ray: I don't want to fight a sea dragon. Dragon turtle. Matt Rolls: The choice is made.

[@giabea.]

3:38 WHY DID HE SAY YES LIKE THAT?! WHO HURT HIM!

[@arithefierysecretary6411]

Well, he had his tusks removed or filed down, sooooooo... He did.

[@Nightdominia]

​@@arithefierysecretary6411Getting teeth filed down doesn't actually hurt. His tusks might be pushing it because where the core nerve pocket of the tooth would be would close to where he'd have to grind them down to make him more human looking. On the other hand he was an orphan, so not a lot of money would be spent on him getting decent dentistry. I see the old manual pliers they used for that stuff and probably gave him the ol' "Gin for the workhouse kids" routine to get him too drunk to care they are yanking a bad tooth. Still hurts like a bitch the next day though.

[@josieholloway3286]

Can you imagine...if Fjord had died in this episode.. Like, Travis woulda had a load of time to create a new character, but I thank the Wildmother that he was saved....the hiatus would've been unbearable if we had to wait that long!

[@peytonzehring7964]

they should use the fan cad bought and control water to get away from the dragon turtle

[@toshomni9478]

That was close. I wonder if Travis had a backup character ready.

[@Grey_Shard]

If it comes to that, i hope it's a minotaur and either monk or pally. The idea of minotaur charge + monk movement is something that has potential.

[@SeanBoyce-gp]

He almost certainly does not. Travis seems a great CEO, but otherwise, for DnD, not much of a planner.

[@natethegm9802]

I think a back up character concept is something all party members are encouraged to have ready.

Nathan Lane He’s mentioned on Talks that he doesn’t

I have a Firbolg character that befriended a Dragon Turtle.

Damn Matt had me doubting it worked at the beginning. That said I'm almost dissapointed, could have made a very interesting ressurection ritual and dilemna between helping their friend and going to the negociation.

[@alecLogan]

Kazad He prefaced it reminding that Fjord hadn’t died previously, and Revivify’s previous rolls for people that _had_ died previously basically needed to be above 10 (or higher).

How can a Turtle be a dragon? Is it like Bowser from Super Mario?

[@Dramoklos]

dnd has a lot of weird monsters

[@alecLogan]

Indioprophecy81 According to someone above, Bowser’s based on a turtle-dragon outright.

[@monkeykingw]

@@alecLogan They were more than likely joking. Bowser's design was based first on an Ox, specifically the Ox King from Alakazam the Great(which is an adaption of Journey to the West), however the lead designed figured a turtle design would work better, as Koopa were already turtles.

[@deffdefying4803]

[@Grey_Shard]

if it hadn't been for his spellcasting modifier that 11 would have been a fail. As it is, it should leave a scar due to it being that close. Other than the location, it sounded like Matt was describing one of my migraines for the ball-retrieval. Does Matt get migraines to describe it so well? And did Marisha say "son of a beach" - because if she did that was a perfect remark.

[@horserage]

> As it is, it should leave a scar due to it being that close. Why?

[@lordvaust5830]

I just got explorer’s guide to Wildemount today. The story and lore, and the setting itself are top notch. I’m a little disappointed in the new spells though.

[@Maddogdulac]

Did I lose track, or does Fjord still have one more orb inside of him?

[@SeanBoyce-gp]

In total, three orbs have been discovered. One was found in the Merrow burrow under the Labenda (sp?) swamp, one was in the possession of Avantika, and one was held by the sea hag after Avantika's execution and their subsequent exile from Darktow. Avantika placed her orb in the first seal under the temple on Urokazel, Fjord placed his orb in the second seal near the swavain (spelling?) islands, and then he got a vision from Uk'otoa thst the last seal was on the menagerie coast, a place he recognized. So Fjord had two orbs, placed one, retained one, and now has vomited one.

[@Maddogdulac]

@@SeanBoyce-gp ah, thank you. I was freaking out during all those days at sea wondering what the heck they were doing not getting the second one out 👍🏼
