Now I am just begging for the gang to sing "The Dragons of Shmarganroooog!"

[@VivaLaDirtLeagueDnD]

It’s coming 😍

[@megamr4434]

Bodger: "Please read this to me." Baradune reads book to bodger, because Baradune reads it, Baradune gains 2 Str points.

[@Jenny_Oblivion]

He can’t read because he’s wearing glasses and doesn’t need glasses 😂

[@rileynielsen4191]

The day has finally come Dirt League. We are finally in Schmargonrog for the first time! Rejoice!

[@leecormack2413]

That we should ever live in such a time!

[@difficult1003]

After this episode with ring Dirt League attains new sense😅

[@callum105]

let's gooo!

[@connieadams1520]

Need a ring of shit yourself in the vldl shop 😂

[@ronarion9646]

Rob would never let Bob be the BBEG, he would die in seconds.

[@VivaLaDirtLeagueDnD]

With his rolls! Yeah! He would

[@MLacryma]

Dunno... I roll poorly as a good player, but behind the screen for baddies, I roll pretty good. When I roll for allies, it's 50/50 ^^

[@IcyBreath]

Even with his HUNDREDS of health, now lol

[@ajkaljumaa8847]

The amount of times Rob has been like "a brief pause for the editors to remove that" throughout the campaign for everyone else to just go "No no, that stays" is hilarious to me

[@VivaLaDirtLeagueDnD]

Gotta show the reality of our game

[@kerenberelson7618]

The real question is if there are things they have removed...

[@hirohiro758]

"If my uncle had wheels he be a wagon" lol, gino will be proud of that

[@computersagtnein4559]

I was kind of proud of myself that for once I got one of their references haha :D

[@mykiaddo6063]

Captain America got that reference.

[@RolfStones]

"The lore of the ring of shit yourself". When Asht and Kutcher were young fey they were inquisitive and cocky. Most of all though, they loved to prank others. Becoming master enchanters, they manufactured many trinkets just for the sake of pranking. One of those trinkets was a device that could record audio and vision to show it on a screen at a later time. They actually became quite famous when they recorded one of their best pranks of a famous human bard visiting the fey wild. Then, they decided to travel the world of Azerim and beyond to prank famous bards and show those pranks to the world. During those travels they encountered a masked gambling giant, it didn't take long to take up a bet for fun. Ofcourse, one of their many trinkets was placed as bet. Ofcourse, they lost to the giant. This is how the giant won the ring for shits and giggles. The ring of shit yourself.

[@mickelmaldonado5910]

Ha, you said giggles.

I dare you to mention the doll during one of Rob's BTS on Twitch 😂

[@DefnitelyNotFred]

That is evil Ajoh, let Rob enjoy his hard earned holidays without a blood vessel bursting 😂

[@michaellane5381]

That was fixed in the palace of hearts desire arc though right? I thought it was dissolved.

[@harrodharrod5239]

Yeah, because Rob is the kind of DM that let's things like this slide. @michael: No, Zybilna said she doesn't know, how to deal with it, and instead Bodger got his hammer to be able to polymorph stuff.

[@CommonFolk-xt4zu]

And his hammer hasn't polymorphed anything since that giant

[@sparkselm173]

Plot Twist; The Ring of Shit Yourself was made by Baradun as a practical joke prop shortly after he became the High Sorcerer, which he lost in a bet to a Fire Giant of Schmargonrog, who subsequently lost it to a Storm Giant well known for gambling.

[@ronarion9646]

True, and that Fire Giant probably used it as fuel to heat up metals to even higher temperatures for the best weapons ever created, standing above all other Fire Giant equipment.. until he lost it.

[@stonethatspeaks4596]

Good thing bodger wears a kilt

[@VivaLaDirtLeagueDnD]

I love this theory 😍

[@HungryMako]

When can we buy a ring of shit yourself at vldlshop?

[@imnotyourbuddyguy9713]

Best theory!! Hope it becomes canon

[@jimmyhuang3676]

This is the first episode of BatD campaign after I got (and thankfully already recovered from) gastroenteritis. What a timing to introduce the legendary Ring of S**t Yourself.

[@patricktoppin8685]

Love how when Rob mentions (jokingly?) Bob becoming the "Big Bad", Rob's shadow begins falling over Ben's face as Ben looks at the camera and states that won't happen......

[@olivertunnah3987]

He can't be the BBEG when he only rolls ones. Worst boss fight ever!

[@jensennc94]

Unless he has an innate skill where the rolls are reversed. Nat 1 is Nat 20, and Nat 20 is Nat 1. And if Ben keeps rolling Nat20 that time, he really is cursed 😂

[@olivertunnah3987]

@@jensennc94Great twist

[@olivertjalve4868]

If Baradun has prestidigitation does that mean he's been in charge of all the laundry this whole time?

[@Twix2304]

He and Greg are also probably the only ones that would care.

[@VivaLaDirtLeagueDnD]

I suspect he has been! And pretty unhappy about it

[@redcrow1752]

I really hope we get to see 🎵THE DRAGONS OF SCHMARGONROG🎵 while there in this part of the story

[@gabsaurus9146]

Ok so i’m not crazy for remembering them singing that at some point

[@non_satiata]

I was singing this in my head every time someone said Schmarganrog during this video 😅​@@gabsaurus9146

[@freelance8399]

Bodger is going to use that ring every time someone is in a important conversation 😂

[@HCXWinchester]

Skipping the entire Honeywood section triggers the inner computer gamer in me. What was thereeee!!!???

[@DH-xw6jp]

Bonecaller. The Misfits. Greg's home filled with corpses. You know, the usual.

[@non_satiata]

It seems like Bodger has problems with vision after all of Blinding Heals he got

[@lieslfrankpsychickinesiolo4906]

😂😂😂

[@PoobertFartley]

but every 💫Blinding Heal💫 should heal his eyes, too? 🤔

[@non_satiata]

@@PoobertFartley good point 🤔 but maybe this spell cure only wounds, not diseases, and hyperopia is kinda chronic

[@martinwhitehorn6782]

Sometimes I feel like Rowan might have preferred to be a Rune Knight Fighter, starting out as an Ancestral Guardian Barbarian with his Rage initially coming from his grandfather's spirit asking him where his hammer is 😅

[@lieslfrankpsychickinesiolo4906]

I immediately started singing Kung Fu Fighting in my mind while trying to visualise it on the green screen

[@martinwhitehorn6782]

@@lieslfrankpsychickinesiolo4906 😂 I would feel for Rob though if he were making flowcharts for every possible variation of Bodger's abilities in that scenario 😅

[@Ghosty618]

It seems like Rob covered his bases pretty well with the caveat that the ring might not work on some people or in some situations, i can see how that ring could end up being really broken if it was used right 😂

[@wieli.]

18:54 I'm convinced Rob was 100% serious there

[@CommonFolk-xt4zu]

Well, there is this love triangle between Baradun, Laethil and Kalathec. Considering the fact that Baradun is in many ways a bigger prick than Laethil, it's not really certain what the "good outcome" of this story is

[@PoobertFartley]

the worst possible outcome is whe Baradun becomes High Sorcerer again 😬 - He and Djoeph

[@themazmanmechanic]

Djeoph's mother was a hamster

[@Pronchonche]

I think he told it at least once every session since they got the explanation about Kelothac and Laethil, so it's more than probably the anti-red herring, saying it so much the players can't even take it as a real option when they fight the boss in about 2 years

[@roryoc31]

i do strongly think the other 3 will have to fight Bob at some stage. (but they'll bring him back from the dark side. to the....well, not light, but differently not _too_ dark side. As for Kalathec and Laethil. to me Kalathec should be the bigger issue, but i think the 4 lads, particularly Ben see Kalathec as the final bad guy, but i think Rob has the story set out to be Laethil is the final/main issue. Maybe killing Laethil will cause Kalathec to be at peace and dissipate. The stone carvings in the dragons lair after they beat the stone giant suggested something like this.

[@logicblock8783]

I half-expected Baradun to just say, "Oh the ring doesn't bother me, I shit myself all the time and just use Prestidigitation to immediately remove it."

[@markmacartney4271]

Because the shit yourself ring certainly isn't going to be used to ruin every NPC encounter these guys come across😂

[@lynetteknolle821]

I do hope so lmao

[@mr.truffles9294]

Our ultimate weapon against Kelothac

Or he'll completely forget he has it in a few minutes

No worries... Rowan will COMPLETELY forget about it...

I thought Rob coming up with the ring of shit yourself was out of character. I was right 😂

I just want to thank the team for these amazing captions. Too be honest I kinda keep them on with this series, It makes it more enjoyable for me especially when someone's saying a name or making weird sounds. Thank you all.

[@JRCovey]

I think Bodger was trying to prove that he was capable of blacksmithing magic items just as well as the fire giants and what he created was the ring of $#!+ yourself and he insists on keeping and using it because he is convinced that it is the proof of his great blacksmithing prowess.

[@andrewwatson8119]

Ring of Induced Defecation

[@CritFablesNetwork]

Where else are you going to get 26 mins of jokes, looting and bowl movements? Love how being in Schmargonrog took the back seat of this entire episode XD

[@JetEyeMonkey]

Bodger being intensly near sighted has to be the reason why his blacksmith skills are the best in Honeywood

[@callumhogan2428]

Give the rings to greg to put healing spells in that he can give to the party

[@PoobertFartley]

or 💫BLINK💫 so that Baradun isn't all time alone in the ethereal plane. (and I imagine, "six seconds" in EP is like 3 days, but the body, concentration, magic, ... isn't 'aging' there. just boring empty white void)

[@Respectable_Username]

Wait, Bob has ~30 extra health? That changes the predictions a bit for the PvP. He might last one or two more rounds before being knocked out by a fireball from Baradun! Edit: And my predictions about a Greg victory go even higher with that tattoo in play!

[@SevernSSO]

Rob playing, "How much stuff I can give to Adam" minigame.

[@braxtonflake2130]

It's nice to see the moments in this campaign where the group is just receiving items and having fun. This was a good episode! I am super excited for the party to finally be able to explore Schmargonrog!

[@NoctisAxtonAurora]

Those three spell storing rings could be used by Greg to store healing spells in for the other three to use which would be helpful if Greg is unable to reach the others especially Bob to heal them in combat.

[@dewandrop4064]

That was my first thought too about the rings, 'Captain Planet' I hope Greg/Alan gets a 'Ring of Spell Storing' with 'Conjure Animals' in it, so he can be reunited with Poppy Bodger/Rowan has a R.O.S.Y ?

[@yellowdart9208]

Bob please remember your cape of the bat gives you advantage on stealth... ROLL TWICE!!!

[@trevorn2351]

So Bodger doesn't actually do the exercises, he just reads about them, and he beefs up from that 😂

[@PoobertFartley]

because for him, reading is literally a physical exhaustive exercise - and he has constantly to hold that book for several days in a row on his outstretched arm ...💪

I've just spent the best part of a week binge watching this whole campaign so far, and it's now my new favourite thing on KZbin!

[@ronarion9646]

So, from what I can see.. this was not the THIRD war starting.. it was actually the TURD war! However people thought this not a very heroic name, so they sneakily changed it telling travelers "No no no, this had nothing to do with some crappy (pun intended) blacksmith's ring that causes everyone to shit themselves.. no.. this was the third war, before this came the second war and before that the first war" ... I'm really starting to doubt that a first and or second war have actually taken place.

[@JonnyThreePiece]

Fun gaming mechanic: could you give Greg a “donation” to his patron and receive a “blessing”?

[@randomlyjumping5514]

The ring of shit yourself, if you use it in battle and shit yourself twice. You should also get a level of exhaustion. That would “possibly” prevent bodger from using it more than twice in battle.

[@atimidbirb]

I am concerned about how seriousl Rob sounded about making BOB becoming the BBEG later 😅

[@Twix2304]

If it were to happen than it would make the story more meh. I honestly would like it more if he wouldn`t always tell them the Stuff and Options immiediatly afterwards or right before. Tho we all know why he has do do it. And i mean the Fact that Kelothac is inside him and their are Killing the Giants which B.o.b was destined to Protect, im guessing he is going to be the BBEG because he doesn`t they almost Killed every single one they encountered. And since most of them were Stong Magical beings, they pobably play a role in containing or weakening Kelothacs Power. But for now lets see what Rob is going to prepare and what the Guys do ^^

[@GamingwithStilez]

Killing them lessens kalothac's power. And Bob will save the giants from kalothac. Who is currently corrupting giants. Or someschitt like that.

[@snipesgaming8573]

I’ve been watching this for so long now and I am still amazed that none of them have actually died and had to bring in a side character. Love this series you guys are doing great showing how fun D&D is for everyone thank you for all the hilarious antics

[@justingiordano62]

The ring of shit yourself- Each day resets after a long rest 1st use 50-50 chance to make you or an opponent of your choice shit themselves 2nd use 40-40 chance of making you or an opponent shit themselves and a 10-10 percent chance of making the shit go back inside physically. 3rd use 30-30 percent chance of you or an opponent shitting themselves and a 20-20 percent chance of the shit going back inside physically 4the use lowers to 25 percent chance of each option activating, flip coin for first use, and use a d4 for 2nd use and on, odds and evens represent bodger and opponent respectively. Lower numbers represent chance of shit going back inside Both effects cause immediate drop in concentration and slowed movement

[@mattlewandowski73]

Within D&D there is actually tattoo magic. There are a couple supliments out that detail the various tattoos that can be given. It would within D&D (as opposed to robs house discriptions) actually be a set of inks and perhaps instructions on how to apply the tattoo and a set of needles appropriate to the culture it is from (primative cultures have made small tattoo hammers in which a handle has several needles wedged into it.)

[@Oeraja]
