The fact that Brennan pulled this character out of nowhere, because he wasn't expecting the party's move. Perfectly mellow and competent, but B O N E S
Oh no, he was protesting the most during this. Him and Sokhbarr were the only ones complaining about trusting Avanash, Markus is just all in on getting him to shut up about bones. He is playing the con like the pirate he is. They cut out most of the protesting for this compilation to keep the bones coming
Sokhbarr slowly going mad because he's the only one who realizes Avanash is bat crap crazy is honestly one of my favorite parts of Escape From The Bloodkeep
Sokhbarr knew the score because he rolled a 20 on his perception when they first met the prisoner! A perfect setup for this dynamic where Sokhbarr kept getting frustrated with the others for entertaining this guy.
@@urktheturtle2988 Was Celebrimbor crazy though? Also, Brennan said in a behind-the-scenes show on Dropout called Adventuring Academy that the players weren't "supposed to" meet Avanash (Brennan, never expect your players to do anything!). But he was like, "Screw it," and made him a character, and it ended up being incredible.
AJ Celebrimbor could be defined as crazy considering he forced a ranger to act as his vessel and then restart his rebellion that failed when he had both his own body and the Ring, and then he remakes said ring, and continues his rebellion until it all blows up in his face. So...maybe?
For me it’s always been the “ahaha :) haha HHHHHHEEEEELLLLLPPPP:)” And trapp’s perception roll being the only one good enough while fully the rest of his party is like “no stop RUDE he seems fine”
I find it a little funny that not one person thought to tell him that HE gets to keep his bones. The water doesn't get him, the party doesn't get them, he gets to keep his own bones as a reward for making the crown.
If I were to guess, this guy had seen other prisoners die and when they rotted away to nothing but bones saw the water move those bones down the river. Years of isolation driving him crazy, made him interpret that as the river stealing bones.
Hem...I think he just went crazy because he was the only person in there for so long and the only worldly possessions he has left are his bones, and he came to fear the river taking them everytime it stormed and the river would flow much more rapidly. But your theory is pretty good too. A lot lore thought went into possibly other prisoners being in there with the guy who died and were dragged away by the current, although now that I say that, wouldn’t he be more petrified by watching his only companions in bondage rapidly decaying and having their flesh and bones sift through the bars?
@@crypto1223 Watching them rot may very well have moved his insanity forward, I would go as far to say as that might have been more of the cause then just the isolation.
@@stormcloudsabound I've done off the cuff bits with my players and then after the session, I find myself creating plausible narratives for why the individual was talking or speaking this way. It's entertaining.

One of my favorite parts is Markus St Vincent, always looking to make moves and always ready to cut a deal, smoothly offering to take care of his bones.
@@joejoeington6899 Yea, sadly it is a thing that affects many people, so I've had (and I'm sure many other people have had) a few loved ones who were directly affected by it...and its this kind of passion about an oddly specific yet unjustified fixation in his impression that really drove the point home and made me feel Brennan had some experience with witnessing it as well
@@joejoeington6899 There are different types of insanity and they each affect each person differently. This man being able to perfectly carry out the skill he was able to do when he was sane, but still falling down a tangent when bones are mentioned and always bringing the conversation back to bones I thought was pretty spot on and reminded me of some people who can work in an office or similar environment for a while and still keep functioning until they spiral something throws them off
There's a bit in an anime abridged series called 50% off about the ocean goblin stealing someone's bones, and I feel like this is the spiritual successor to that XD
I'd really love a Dimension 20: Escape From The Bloodkeep but its just J'er'em'ih that I might make one myself. Unless you were already thinking of making one.

stop saying bones so much
But then how will we play THE BONE GAME?!
_BONE?!_
Who needs em?
We all have 'em
Bones, Bones, Boney bones XD
"who does this lady think she is, a river?" is just so funny to me
Followed by, *"HELP!"* It's even better.

Thanks from one who KNOWS

...tnks fr coming 2 my TED talk❤
I love that Markus is in with the bones from the get go, without even questioning.

"Sorry am I being unclear? I'm worried about my bonesss 🌚"
my favourite quote from this will forever be "I wil take care of them.I got your bones on lock." and "who does this woman think she is a river?"
It would be fun to start saying I got your bones on lock as a way of saying I got your back.
"I will take care of your bones. I'll be the watcher of bones. I got your bones on *lock"*
that line fucking murdered me when i watched this campaign, he's so fucking funny. the whole crew did so good making this campaign entertaining.
not bad for an NPC that brennan made up on the spot.
AJ Who says that he made it up on the spot? ( No srsly, if he did in another video I don’t know)
KingSkelett he told the story on an episode of his show Adventuring Academy
I am sure he was aware of the character Celebrimbor, because its basically Celebrimbor.

And trapp’s perception roll being the only one good enough while fully the rest of his party is like “no stop RUDE he seems fine”
It’s also such great hidden lore about elven funeral practices and their feelings about dying and how that should all go.
I'm somewhat disappointed this doesn't include the "WHAT IS CRAZY ABOUT WANTING YOUR BONES?!"
I find it a little funny that not one person thought to tell him that HE gets to keep his bones. The water doesn't get him, the party doesn't get them, he gets to keep his own bones as a reward for making the crown.
Reward?
Shouldn't he get to keep his bone regardless.
@@ensemble3647 True, but he is crazy. You have to put stuff in terms he would understand through that filter of insanity.
He specifically feels like he isn't capable of protecting his own bones
"Are you... Them? What?"

I loved seeing Trapp play D&D. He was the chaotic voice of reason and was fantastic.
i went through a bout of psychosis regarding my health last year and honestly the whole thing felt a LOT like this
As someone with OCD I have some fears that even I acknowledge are pretty stupid I relate to this guy way to much
How could you leave out his final "AHH WATER"
You know, the absurdity of this bit is hilarious, but the way he says "bones" sometimes is funny all on their own. Everything about Avanash is great!
WHAT IS CRAZY ABOUT WANTING YOUR BONES??!!
what I love is this npc was entirely off the cuff
2:17 Brennan cracking himself up is fucking classic, as is Trapp's response.
WHAT IS CRAZY ABOUT WANTING YOUR BONES?!
Man has a point.
“Are you… them?”
It's so nonsensical, it just hits different.

haha, what are you, a river? HEEEELLLLLLP
"I just want it to end" is such an underrated quote from all this
This video, thank you. I searched for, and found, exactly what I wanted. You have dried my bones substantially.
This gag absolutely broke me when it happened
are you them? what? kills me so much idk why its just so funny
Let me be Very Clear.
PLEASE. DON'T MINCE ANY WORDS.
Add the "breaking news" segments where it's just "bonesbonesbonesbonesbones"
This entire scene I was just sitting there begging them through the screen to accept his help. He just wants his bones! He's brilliant!
Are you... Them?what?
i love that there were times when no one could take it seriously
This lives in my head rent-free
Amy's face at 2:33 kills me every time
I don’t know why but I love the running water noise
Quote attributed to Avenash, centuries earlier
Someone told him it was a no bones day and he took it the absolute worst way.
What if Gollum was played by Owen Wilson?
And to think, all of this was made up on the spot. 😂
Do you know which video brennan talks about that in?
evertime123. It was in the adventuring academy podcast, the reunion of the cast of escape from the bloodkeep.
There's a bit in an anime abridged series called 50% off about the ocean goblin stealing someone's bones, and I feel like this is the spiritual successor to that XD
noodle says its a bones day
Oops, all bones
this scene plays out like a weird fever dream XD
This was the best character ever.
1:34 is an excellent reaction
I don't even know what i just watched if I'm being honest. I was exercising and my bones hurt like hell. I was looking for a second opinion
The funny bit about all of this is that if he got their bones, those bones are constantly surrounded by water
Bless you for putting this together for us. One of my very fav D20 bits.
Let's be real here! It's not the first time watching this video
Please, don't mince any words!😆
