Best line of the episode: Gruffuth: Can you manipulate rocks? Rowan: *Why would you manipulate rocks, they only speak truths!* Perfect response!

[@annaspringbear]

Genuinely teared up a bit!

[@bobthetitan777]

I love a Druid too embarrassed to wild shape

ANTI SPOILER BARRIER

[@Stormrider1138]

Good birb

[@camrynmurray5331]

The birb must remain on top

[@Luke_was_here]

Anti-spoiler bird, my beloved.

[@BrownOwl2036]

Bird is love, Bird is life.

[@heartdice2512]

Anti spoiler birb being the mvp

42:56 "That's what I've been lusting over??" GRUFF YOU HAVE A WIFE AT HOME

[@katcyer26]

Nah, that was Kim!!

[@vivienbeke4891]

Name idea for the inn: The Rested and The Risen (?)

[@omabep]

OH MY GOD!!! everyone who sent in fanart, YOU ARE ALL AMAZING!!!!!!!! i truely loved every single piece in there

[@Ogmetaldad9155]

I had a vision of Dirty Dancing except it's "Nobody puts Kitty in a bag!" 😂

[@magley64]

FOR THE EMPRESS!!! FOR THE ALGORITHM!!!!!

[@terryotoole3265]

I couldn't help but think of Hot Fuzz when the party was repeating, " For the greater good "😋

[@isaacb4229]

Rhi could really have blown the top off Gruff's braincase by telling him that Ophelia also briefly met St, Dethyr.

[@HaloFTW2408]

If people want to go view a piece of history, Tom's "very professional" description of Xantheus is visible on the Way Back machine (snapshot on the 26/05/24 at 17:39:10).

[@daeins]

17 hours in? Pog 1:30:00 or 1:30:10

[@HaloFTW2408]

@@daeins The time stamp I commented was the time of the snap shot on The Way Back Machine

[@daeins]

@@HaloFTW2408 imagine learning how to read, not me 😭

[@mattbriddell9246]

1:46:19 I own one of those wacky d100's and Kim's absolutely right, it is basically a golf ball and impossible to read what number actually comes up on it. :D I have a strong hunch at this point that at the end of the campaign, all of Tom's wacky dice are going to be ceremonially melted down and fused into one great plastic glob so that their chaos energy can never threaten anyone ever again.

[@onwardtowaffles]

There are a few really good "chaos" dice, though. Impact, cursed, and blessed d20s are always fun.

[@Amon2323]

Kim is killing it with Gruff - excellent rp all round as always but Gruff regularly has me in stitches

[@squakkattack1111]

Just as an idea, maybe put the fanart on the website? I feel like it would be cool to scroll all the fanart that you guys have received.

[@NoahWolfe]

1:31:23 is the "what I put up with" face of the year xD

[@mattbriddell9246]

Sam Riegel: Goes out of his way to shatter Matt Mercer's soul every episode of CR Tom Hazell: Hold my pint, Riegel :D

[@Kate-ms2mn]

Oh more Altheya, another opportunity to start discourse about how Daisy is a Aasimar

[@hashslingingslasher97]

32:26 The pet cats I've seen loved playing in bags

[@Atlas_Forge]

Now i need a shirt w/ Daisy:"Egg-Zathius?!" Zanthius: "Not Egg-xactly."

[@lndcruz721]

Just finished the episode from the sunday stream again, very fun, glad to see everyone back!😄

[@marioswild5017]

the best dnd series on the internet currently

[@1Lanavis1]

I've missed them

[@Wildnoodlebbq]

I'm all caught up!! But now I need to wait for it every week

[@katcyer26]

25:42: "That's nice, that's real nice, that ya met ya little God." 28:17 "I look amazing!!" 32:25 Don't put cats in bags. 47:58 Gruff admits to wild shape and the rest of the group goes mad. 54:50 Egg Xanthius... Or not? 56:30 He's totally turned into a kitten for his wife, hasn't he? I mean, that's one way to say sorry after an argument...become something so cute it's impossible to be mad at. 57:35 Daisy nearly collapses of Happiness (with a capital H) !1:22:14 Maeve becomes a God.... !1:57:07 Dammit

[@jurgen4466]

Crowbar, rope, grappling hook ! Anyone ...... 😂 There is put slimes cubes in the sewer, 5 min later nobody remembers 😂😂😂

[@wizzzard999]

Oh my God, it just hit me -Xantheus is Sips XD

[@jamesmaceaveli6679]

We're back! And it's good to be back

[@hannahatkins636]

1:28:55 My favourite piece of fan art. ❤😂 Seriously though, everyone is really good. If only I had the patience.

[@scottharrop6720]

Just catching up now. Kittencombs here we come!

[@omabep]

n'ahwwww the little drawing of Gruff-kitten from daisy >UwU< (*v*)

[@Sirfinchyyy]

2:00:24 "how's that smell?" "Smells a bit like hydrogen disulfide... shouldn't be a problem!"

[@YorkshireDave]

Was not ready for the pj and Duncan ref!!! That blinding scarred me for life hahaha #icanniseepet

[@zeldoreo]

Caught this one live, just doing my part. For the algorithm!

[@computergeeq360]

Great episode :3

[@danih.5675]

Rest and Risen could be a cool name

[@tenebraebr]

23:20 hey I made the comment on Gravefather or Greyfather in the last episode lmao

[@n00bruler67]

Name for the Inn: Ossians Wake

[@daeins]

We're so back! 😆

[@Scott_Burton]

28:02-28:03 I salute you Kim for that reference. Question for my DM (If I were playing) : Knowing there are Gelatenous Cubes, they can be hurt by fire, but are difficult to see (but are voluminous and low AC), I would question how noisy is a firebolt cantrip if it just sails to the end of its range without hitting anything? [I'm envisioning the prospect of Gruff says it's over 200 feet to the next turn in the corridor, Xantheus hurls a firebolt down the center of the corridor. There's a streak of possibly dim light that sputters out if it doesn't hit anything within range, but if there's another cube in range you just announced yourselves, but you also know it's there an hurt it]

[@annaspringbear]

O how I've missed you all. Rowan noises! The group dynamics! Fkn PJ and Duncan reference! Don't put cats in bags. Grumpy kitten Gruff. Not an egg boy. Quad nuts. I'll stop now. I missed you!

[@williamnoble8952]

NEVER go paintballing in a castle!

Fun times

[@estackz92]

names for inn: mostly ghostly, the ghost with the most, ophelia up. 😂😂

[@lewismoore9190]

I get the spoon creamy reference!!!!!

[@bobthetitan777]

Did they take the slime sample from the front slime or the rear slime?

[@richardthepinekone1052]

Hey guys, how are y’all doing today? I just started watching y’all. I loved all of y’all‘s episodes so far that I’ve watched. I am actually going to be Dm tomorrow my first one shot it’s based off of my character. Her name is Salant Strong Hart. She is a duet circle of the moon dark elf and she’s a princess and she is going back home.

[@omabep]

ooh good luck on your sesh!!!

[@eddieburrows4089]

Is what the episode should be

[@TheLegoLord100]

Quick comment, the description currently doesn't include a link to the only-games crates, just an empty spot where I assume it would be. The link to the altheya mini's is included and since it's the same site maybe that is also supposed to be the link for the crates? If that's the case feel free to ignore this, otherwise I just wanted to point it out.

[@datguy6101]

2:29:02 Nice one

I forgot where I was, what was going on, so when I tuned in on 1:56:33 I thought they were making a fart joke.

[@jenagagnon2908]

My name is Jena

[@goldend791]

What is it with trotts characters and getting vored?

[@novicehammer]

That thimbnail is great

[@omabep]

does anyone know the reason why they haven't been playing last week? i've missed them so much

[@Absintheskiss]

They had power and internet problems.

[@williamnoble8952]

I believe one week was illness, and the next was zero Internet.

[@deriznohappehquite]

Mark was sick, then they had technical issues.

[@omabep]

so glad they're back to health and up nd running ^^

[@K1m9857]

Did Kim say cube or pube? Hard to tell with that accent XD

[@sparrowjax275]

Inn name; the repulsive angel. lmao😅

English dad's are awkward lol
