D&D is not designed to be PvP so it is nooriously difficult to do so and make it fun and engaging for all players. Even moreso to then also make it fun and engaging for viewers as well!
So I hope I did a decent job of it. I certainly had fun running it!
Oh, and super confusing to see this before he gets it in the main campaign, but Bodger got his hammer tweaked. It now hits even on a nat 1, he just takes the damage as well, in such a circumstance. And it now only polymorphs when he chooses to use it.
@@RobertHartleyGM one episode in and I think you did a great job designing the fight! Having the door leading to a random end was clever.
hey Rob I know this is from 7 days ago, but recently Daggerheart open beta got released, and I was curious to know, what do you think of that system so far?
Could we see a Daggerheart one shot with Viva?
There is a discord server in Spanish that do PvP with DND and stream in twitch, it's been doing for years so , yes, they have converted in a PvP game
You are always going above and beyond.
I'm predicting Rob will be the biggest victor here.
Probably right to be honest
I predict it will be us viewers.
@@bernharderiksson775 I predict it was the friends we made along the way...
He looks so tired 😅
I suspect it will be Dave
I predict that Bob will have some critical failures, Adam will do the most DM-negotiation to bend the rules in his favor, Greg will surprise at least one person with some OP cleric shenanigans, and Bodger will beat the snot out of most of them with the same handful of actions that will still take Rowan forever to remember.
pretty sure I came here to say this LOL It's very much in keeping with how things usually go :)
I wonder how many people realize how strong Greg is in this scenario? His high AC offsets Bodger and BOB's high attack modifiers, making it unlikely that they can deal damage he can't get away from and heal. He can buff himself quite a bit. He has an entire array of spells to dish out damage, one of which potentially being harm, which is absolutely brutal and bypasses Bodger's resistance while raging. Baradun is the biggest threat to Greg, but I'm almost certain he doesn't realize that Greg is that dangerous and will concentrate on Bodger and BOB. A lucky critical sneak attack from BOB is probably the only serious threat, as BOB is the most likely to attack him as well. There is some chance that BOB manages to sneak around the map opportunistically chunking people until the end and win... but we all know he is going to make choices as catastrophic as his rolls and go down first.
You're forgetting that most buffs in D&D are concentration spells. So yes, he can technically plan ahead more effectively, but he also has choices to make. And he has to choose between buffing, healing and attacking every turn. Clerics are amazing because they can do everything *in a party*, but in solo the action economy actually goes against him. If his concentration is broken early and his first Harm doesn't deal as much damage as he needs, he's stuck.
Bodger and Bob both have many ways to increase their chances to hit by getting advantage, and they have multiple attacks.
He was smart to use the Guardian of Faith because control is his best chance. He can't afford a "duel", so he needs a 1v1v1 situation so he can retreat in case things go wrong. Relying on high AC against a Barbarian that can get advantage easily and a high Dext thief is really not a good plan.
IMO he's the least likely to win and will only win if the others ignore him. Bodger is the most tanky, but is vulnerable to Baradun's spells. Baradun has the highest damage output, but he can easily get down if things start to go wrong. Bob is the wild card, he has all the tools to win in theory, but they need to be used in the right order... and roll well. There's a possibility that Baradun is considered to be the priority by the others and manage to survive long enough for Greg to set up his win but it's not as likely as you think.
💚💛❤️
@@Ezullof That's why I said "buff himself quite a bit" instead of saying "buff himself to the gills". I would love to see him use Hallow to try to trap Baradun in the ethereal plane for a couple of turns. That would be fucking hilarious.
@@Toumoriryuucasually spends 24 hours casting hallow aka 14400 rounds.
@@stevefilms1997 LOL, never noticed the casting time, I've never tried to actually played a cleric, I've only read the spell. I'm sure everyone would patiently wait for Greg to cast it...
Adam didn’t get the memo about the shirts apparently
That’s what I said when I turned up for filming 😅
@@VivaLaDirtLeagueDnD LMAO
Baradun is just too classy for a shirt.
LMAO thought the same thing!!!
That sheds not dingo
After watching the entire first episode, my prediction now stands firmly:
Tom will collapse the tavern before the end of the fight.
I like those odds.
Edit: typo :(
Tom will cast "Stop recording", a level 15000 spell.
Tom the cameraman? Those guys survive everything
@@phoenixdzk That's why its the perfect plan.
Baradun casually concentrating on 2 concentration spells
I was hoping they notice before the dragon deals any damage
Only way he can win!
I immediately noticed too. almost funnier to me since they were literally talking about how good sorcs are at concentrating on spells. and 1 minute later he casts hold person while his dragon is still out.
the camera man distracted everyone!
THIS, please give bodger back his god token
Rob: "What were you hoping for, Greg?"
Greg: "What's 'hope'?"
Predictions...
Bob to die first, maybe to Djeoph dragon
Bodger and Baradun to get locked into rivalry and weaken each other
Greg to win overall
Djeoph Dragon is a better death than Uwu dragon.
I seriously thought Rob would just put them in a boxing ring and let them have at it 😂.
This set up is so immersive and the game play is interesting. Rob is the best.
That moment when you throw a bunch of morder-hobos into an arena and they suddenly turn into a loot "who are" 😂
Aww thanks!
meh. he would be average at best. he just has a budget.
@MrCrazedYeti Thanks for your engagement, which is both rude AND incorrect! The algorithm appreciates you, even if no-one else does.
I predict that the greatest victory here is the fact that they're all paying a bit more attention to their characters abilities and actually listening to what Rob says 😂😂
They look so Stressed lol.
is this what baradun was dreaming of when he accidently cast sleep on himself?
My prediction: Bob is obviously gonna go down first. BUT he'll get back up somehow and take down someone else before kicking the bucket
But you’re forgetting:
Necromancy: Not Even Once
I’m surprised he’s not hiding more.
@@alexp6712with these meta gamers? Adam: I cast fireball right around here, since I know that's where Bob would be hiding.
Three VLDL D&D episodes in a single week?! 🥳
For the next 4 weeks! You lucky buggers!!
Holy hell 🎉@@VivaLaDirtLeagueDnD
@@VivaLaDirtLeagueDnDwhoa!!!!! Let's goo!!!!!!!
Also Rob!!!! Amazing DMing the campaigns! Always in the wait for new episodes
Let go
Hold Monster: Concentration
The big dragon: Shhh, the DM doesn't notice
I was ondering about that
@@kymhatty5856concentration should just be reworked. Most players, and even DMs, forget about it. It should be reworked to only one continuous spell effect regardless of spell.
I feel like Adam's joke about using his anxiety to keep track of Blink is deserving of inspiration, but it'll have to be a donation instead
Also, since Bodger stole Greg's moment in the giant kill, I predict he hits him with "Harm" to finish him off
I think Gregg is going to be greatly underestimated, and BOB will roll so badly that the others forget to see him as a threat and he deals some sneak damage later in the game, using BOB's Bloodbath to heal himself before Baradun or Bodger obliterates him.
Predictions
Bodger rages
Baradun blinks
Bob misses
Alan watches in disbelief
Good summary 😂
Can I just give a shout out to Tom? His camera skills are to notch yet we forget him cause he's unseen. Three times he accidentally made himself known in this episode and I smiled each time
Bodger's over 100 tough and with his undefeated streak of PvP wins (1) he is today's favorite at 3:2 odds.
Baradun in the Ethereal plane would be hard to hit, popping back onto the battlefield to deal face melting damage, putting him at 2:1 odds.
If Kelothac is taking wheel and rolling the dice for Bob, the lethal sneak attack bonus gives him 7:2 odds.
Nobody expects the Cleric upset, but those who have studied the powers of the life domain know that the gods are on Greg's side, giving a long shot payout of 30:1.
Someone’s gonna get a damn good payout…
I'll put 50gp on the Cleric.
Remember baradun has desintegrate and summon dragón a sorcerer at high levels are one of the strongest in the game also if use the token can do 3 desintegrate at the same turn
@@slade2860- nope. You can only cast one spell per turn, except for cantrips that specifically can be used on a bonus action.
This is not BG3.
He chose Quicken as one of his Metamagic early on so he could do 2, if he has the sorcery points. But he is burning through them with other stuff, so 🤷♀️
Baradun casting draconic spirit and hold monster, then later making concentration checks for the dragon bothers my SOUL. Should've dropped as soon as he cast hold monster >:(
Baradun using those double concentration cheat codes 😂
I hold so much hope for the glory and victory to the garlic cleric!
What a great way to get comments... and engagement for youtube logic.
😎😎
If it comes down to Greg and badger, Greg can only blind bodger to stay alive but also keeps healing him by doing so…BLINDING HEAL!!!
True, but also Greg has pretty insane armor class, so Bodger might struggle to actually land hits.
Advantage and a +12 to hit means he has an 80% chance to hit through 21ac and without a good con score and con save proficiencies. Greg will be dropping concentration after 1 or 2 checks.
Where did the subtitles go? And then I mean the non auto generated ones? they used to be in every video. I love them, as they add something to the game (like 'evil gm pondering') and make it easier for us non English speakers to keep up.
52:32 - flaming hammer for Bodger’s YouToos is finally revealed!!
🔨 🔥
That’s why we designed it flaming 😍
My YouTooz showed up this week, they look awesome@@VivaLaDirtLeagueDnD
Prediction: Baradun gets ganged up on and falls early due to his low hit point total and armour class. Greg ends up winning, Bodger is second.
man, this channel is soaring in the skies lately.
It was really going steady for years, but it really shows that the Tavern was what Rob needed to spread his wings (obviously giving due credits to the full cast, too)
1) Bob, 2) Greg, 3) Baradun, 4) Bodger. I predict everyone ganging up on bodger as early as possible, and then Bob and Greg will gang up on Baradun. During the whole fight, Bob will roll freakishly high numbers, with at least 2 natural 20's
I think this comes down to whether everyone lets Bodger cook. Baradun saw the threat early, but it's clearly made him a villain which really works to Bodger's advantage.
Predicting a team up on Bodger from all the others with Baradun being first to break the truce by fireballing everyone. Bodger still wins.
I wanted Greg to Ally with Bodger, give him that Holy Weapon, then choose to drop concentration to explode it when Bodger is in close combat with everyone else 😂
Cool 💚💛❤️
I was thinking the same thing.
Buff Bodger while he is wailing on everyone, then drop it if he turns on Greg.
With the hallucinogenic vapours and the "turning in to rain drops" in last episode, I'm pretty sure Rob had enjoyed some good mushies lately Haha
I feel like I paid to watch the comedy version of the hunger games.
worth it
Isn't Hold Monster concentration? Shouldn't that have dropped the dragon when Baradun cast it?
Yup 😅
And it comes up later on next episode I think when we realise
@@VivaLaDirtLeagueDnD NOOOO :D
Predictions
...
Bodger will forget about danger sense
Bodger will rage and lose it right away
Baradun will forget how his spells work and concentrate on two spells.
Greg will strategically "betray" an ally and use blinding heal
I do hope for another inteview with a god, that would center around him summoning the dickheads to the colosseum (Rob playing both the "God of Interview" and "God of Arena/Colosseum/Shits'n'Giggles")
I love how the players can make a wish into the treasure chest and still be surprised by what they get
Prediction for round 1:
Bodger: Raaage, frenzy, bodge Baradun
Baradun: Blink, quicken, dragon, attack Bodger, blink fails
BOB: attack, miss, hide, fail
Alan: summon guardian around him
I predict Baradun will win, if the dice are on his side with blink
Ben keeps forgetting he has cloak of the bat, which although outright doesnt give him the ability to see in the dark... TURNING INTO THE BAT WOULD... Bats can see in magical darkness due to their echolocation obviously.
18:44 gotta love Bob's trippin' balls reactions 🤣🤣🤣
Love that this dropped today, so excited to watch!!!
Predictions are that Baradun and Bodger only go after each other but somehow Bob fails so many rolls he dies first. Greg mostly hides and starts winning but gets wiped out by the return of a vengeful Poppy.
True winners are all of us dickheads getting to watch.
Thanks for all the amazing content VLDL!
I predict the winner will be Sneaki Minaj, so stealthy that the boys didn’t even know she was in the match until she picked off the last man standing with a perfectly timed shot.
Head Canon accepted.
Bob dies first, Adam dies second, Alan and Bodger battle it out and Bodger wins
41:23 love how a NAT 1 actually becomes a fun reason to just cheer and laugh together, this is the spirit of playing TTRPGs
Wow that hour went fast. Loved this. Thanks Rob and the team 👌
My predictions for each one of them:
Bodger: frenzied rage, throwing his hammer, going to forget polymorph
Greg: blinding heal, holy weapon(he's gonna explode it), the final spell he used against Krik
Baradun: blink ring, going to pull out djeff to annoy bob, vetrollic sphere, the insane damage spell he has
Bob: bonus action hide, eldrich blast, squeak squeak, wotsit, short bow sneak attack
Who's gonna win and die first?: Baradun and Bob
Lets see how much did i got right😁
pulling out djeoph would immediately turn all of the others against baradun
I always think of Rowen drinking the potion to get full hp but Ben eating the glass to do it as a bonus and that's why you don't get full
I predict the winner will be the friends we made along the way
Woke up - checked emails - great news from VLDL - fantastic start to the day 🎉

Wonderful job as always, my good person!
Baradun cast draconic spirit... no wild surge check, walks in to ice, no prone check. Hold monster is concentration, dragon doesnt disapear. sorcerer are a class where DM's really need to be on point or else they are entirely broken.
Bodger also didn't get a saving throw against dragon breath to halve it, and only rolled one attack roll for rend instead of 2 separate dice rolls. Also Bob only cast hellish rebuke at 1st level, should be higher for the level warlock he is. I don't think Adam is at all trying to cheat, but he is getting very lucky with all the rules the gang is forgetting.
In his first round of going into the ice world he only walked on rock and when he walked to the chest he did perform a successful check. I think it is highly likely that he rolled the wild surge check, but he did it in silence or it was cut. The concentration thing is correct, though he did not use his dragon by accident in the one round in which hold monster actually did anything
Tbf, since hold monster was nullified after one turn, I'd feel bad if his dragon disappeared despite that being the rules
I'm pretty sure he did do a wild surge for Draconic Spirit, he rolled for something mouthed "no" to Rob and then used some kind of tracker to put the count up by 1, when he entered the ice area he was on solid ground then he moved onto the ice and had to roll. But you are right about Hold Monster, hopefully that gets caught or maybe just play it that because it was only going to last one turn it didn't need a concentration (But I'm not a fan of that)
My predictions:
Bob: will fail at hiding multiple times (if the arena even allows for it) and will eventually die to a hammer to the face.
Bodger: Reckless attack spam!
Baradun: summons a dragon and finishes off Greg and eventually wins the battle by fireballing Bodger!
Bob for the win by killing and eating everyone else just because he felt a little hungry
Rob: "First tell me what you would hope to get." (from the treasure chest)
Adam: "A ROCKET LAUNCHER!!!!!"
I always find it amazing how much these guys forget their own skills. It's honestly part of the fun by now.
Like Baradun's been using Summon Draconic Spirit wrong this whole time. Did you guys know he could choose the breath type each round from among the options - like chromatic can breath acid, fire, cold, lightning and that changes each round - and that the dragon shares one of its resistances (like fire) with the caster? Love that spell.
But anyway, love u guys, keep up the good work!
Bodger falls first, but Greg revives him. Bob will sneak attack Baradun at a critical moment and turn the game around. Baradun will own mid game. Overall winner will be Greg.
This comment needs highlighting for the Greg reviving Bodger bit!!!
Hamish, Britt, and Ellie are going to be dark horse winners SOMEHOW!
Enjoying the mood lighting in the tavern, looks appropriately ominous. Really fun episode!
36:34
Baradun: "Bodger, let's be friendsies! UwU"
Bodger: "Ok!"
It's gonna come down to Bodger chasing Greg to the circle, Bodgers going to run out of javalines, which were all thrown accurately. Greg will blinding heal himself to victory cause Bodgers out of the circle
You know, that's the same reason I have trouble playing games like Dishonored and Thief, even though I love the idea of first-person stealth horror: I may **always** be blinking, but I'm also **always** in a state of extreme anxiety in those games! :D
Prediction:
Bob dies first followed by Greg, big fight at the end with Bodger beating Baradun
And Naturally Bob will roll a Nat 1 at a pivotal point
I think Greg will win. Everyone will focus on taking out each other. Greg will just stay near his guardian and survive.
So, Baradun used Hold Monster which broke his concentration on Summon Draconic Spirit and got rid of his dragon, so I wonder if that will have any effect on the outcome. Obviously Ben's Evasion let him take zero damage from the dragon breath that was rolled but we won't see that until next episode.
Yep said the same. That is something I alway tell my players to remind them to know what spells are concentration.
True, also bodger didn't lose rage/frenzied from the turn he was held, given he took no damage 😋
Yea, I was mad when Rob let that slide. If he knew he would lose the dragon Baradun probably wouldn't use Hold Monster and Bodger wouldn't have lost his turn/
@@CrisRaf an honest mistake, though. Easy to forget stuff like this in the moment. Just gotta roll with it when you do realize it. Maybe it comes up next episode.
I'm more upset about him dispelling it at the end of Bodger's turn rather than at the beginning of the next turn. Effectively causing Baradun to waste his and Bodger's turn. Instead, Baradun should have followed up with some huge damage spell on Bodger, auto crit, then Rob intervene.
Greg dies first, then Bob. Bodger and Baradun will have the battle royale and Baradun will win due to sheer luck.
I saw this is an hour long episode and the second I saw that, I smashed that like button. (I was gonna hit it anyway, I'm sure but I got very excited)
One time i do a battle royale with my table and the winner was the Tótem Barbarían, the second place went to a Moon Druid
Mental that this has just come out. My next session is the 50th and I'm surprising my players with some PVP as they've been hinting at wanting to give a try for a while now. Got back from work to look at videos giving advice on running PVP and low n behold my BATD are already on it. Looking forward to getting inspired and hopefully running a fun 50th special next week! I think Bob will drop first, then Greg (cause he can heal up a lot more), then Baradun and Bodger for the win, cause that hammer is rightfully his! *continues to explain why for the next 10 mins*
Greg's gonna win. Baradune's gonna die fighting bodger. Not sure on the rounds. Whatsit is going to come in out of nowhere and die protecting B.O.B.
A pleasure to have donated to such a wonderful crew
@RobertHartleyGM I was rewatching Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps and recognised you as Dion, can't believe I've gone from watching you giving Will Mellor shit to very impressively running one of my favourite DnD settings on one of my favourite channels. So much respect for what you've achieved
I feel like BOB has the most chance of winning with his hiding ability and sneak attack, but will still lose because of his luck and stuff, as well as rob intervening for entertainment
I was hoping this would happen eventually :D great timing, too, just made myself a cup of coffee, checked e-mails and noticed this. Bring it on!
Heck yes. Bring it on!
Last pc standing : bodger
First one to get eliminated : bob, consodering ben's rolls
The real winners are the fans.
I'll start with the obvious: Bob dies first
Baradun then dies to Bodger
Bodger dies through the terrain or something stupid he does
Greg will be the rightful winner of the throne and our hearts
Oh Adam...Adam :'o
I was rooting for you! We were all rooting for you!
*forgets dragon's turn, doesn't attack Bodger when he's right next to him, casts two concentration spells
Sigh
Oh I had completely forgotten about this! I’m so excited to watch it as soon as I can!
My prediction is that somebody will use a concentration spell, and then use a second concentration spell & forget about the 1st one being concentration, causing the 1st spell to go down unintentionally.
Well my prediction was correct because Baradun cast Hold Monster and Draconic Spirit at the same time xD But they forgot that Hold Monster is concentration, and the Dragon didn't poof away like it was supposed too. Bummer. Then again, the Hold Monster was dispelled the very next turn, so Rob probably wouldn't have dispelled that if the dragon had gone away =P
Also, I REALLY hope they remember that Bob has Evasion as a Rogue, and should take no damage from a Dex Save when he succeeds on it x] But i kinda doubt that they will =P We'll have to see if it happens next episode!
Baradun first out but draws first blood, and Bodger for the win.
Um, actually, Hold monster is a concentration spell, so Baradun should've dropped his concentration on Draconic spirit. 🤓
Greg will use Blinding Heals to blind people from afar and let others weaken them, emerging as the victor
Baradun feels like he'll try camping
Bodger might actually go down first because these battle royales usually focus on the tank, but if he doesn't go down he'll definitely have the most kills
Possible spoiler!!:
HOLD ON! isnt both Draconic spirit and hold monster concentration? so the dragon should've disappeared?! Rob, im scared
I just got to this bit and said exactly that!
Yeah I got to this part and said the same thing as well
Everyone know your spells! The DM has enough to think about!
Funnily enough, I'd just watched the latest D&D Logic before this, where Adam claims to be the best D&D player, and yet he doesn't know the limits of his own spells. Tut tut, Adam, tut tut! 😅
SPOILER:
After Rob cancelling Baradun's Hold Monster after just one turn (I kind of feel that was unfair - should have at least let Bodger frozen for one more turn - especially since Baradun didn't get absolutely anything out of it as he was already protected by Blink, thus basically just wasting an action and a precious lvl 5 spell slot), I feel it's kind of fair that Baradun's dragon stayed around even if RAW it shouldn't have.
It would have been a really dick (pun not intended) move to let him sacrifice one concentration spell at the cost of another that gets cancelled by deus ex machina after just one turn.
Though I want Greg to win, it’s unfortunately unlikely.
My Prediction:
-Ben dies within 5-10 rounds
-Bodjer (unfortunately) wins
-Baradune runs like a coward after all of his concentration breaks
-Greg, conflicted wan’t to heal his party members only for them to kill him.
As a cleric Greg is super tanky and has some powerful spells that bodger cant reduce. Hes gonna be harder than people think.
Predictions:
Baradun will find the most loopholes around the rules.
Bob will roll the worst out of everyone, but strangely will not be the first to die.
Bodger will be the first to try and form an alliance.
Greg will win the whole thing only using Spirit Guardians, Banishment, and Healing Word.
Rob is an amazing DM and also amazingly creative I’ve loved all the content it’s so hard to pick a favorite character because they are all so amazing. All of you have done great bringing the characters to life with personality, it’s been a joy to watch.
Last man standing is definitely going to be either Bodger or Baradun.
I cast there 5 predictions - and all of them will be true. If you don't believe it, then I'll laugh at your face in the last episode, when all of them will come true.... So:
1) Someone will die,
2) Only one of the guys will survive,
3) The survivour will be male,
4) They will fight with each other, but not irl,
5) Sometimes, they will use magic, stealth or brutal force...
FEAR MY PROPHET POWER!!
I have been waiting for this so long! I'm so exited to watch this! I was always thinking who whould be the best!
Clearly to me the best VLDL format ever (with the podcasts) ! Love you guys, give us more of this ! (Cheers from Belgium)
This is awesome! It was incredibly fun to watch.
Love this! Cannot wait for pt. 2, hopefully this gets the guys recharged to go talk to some fire giants!
Love the intro, but truly love the interaction between everyone. And this was so enjoyable to watch. This was a great Idea. An hr of pure enjoyment.👌❤️
I never played D&D or any other TTRPG nor did it ever occur to me that it could be that engaging and intriguing -- I became absolutely hooked after viewing the the board sci-fi and the Halloween one and now I can't get enough- All of you guys' mannerism, wittiness, humor and impressive quick on its feet imagination is top tier. Carry on and hope you the best.
This is some of the best D&D content from you guys in a while. I love it all but this is so great
Haven't started the video and I already liked the concept.
May the best npc wins.
