As usual, Arthur Aguefort shows up wielding incredibly powerful and destructive magic whilst being of little to no actual help to the party.
A brilliant character
Secret Artagan reference (critical role)
Arthur is an excellent distraction!
...no, that's it. Just a distraction. Which is useful! Kinda.
*60%* of their grade. He's doing his aguefort thing while leaving the party to deal with the tower and the remaining people. Pretty good work considering hes taking on the entirety of fallinells casters at once
From what season?@@christopherwilson542
"We're back in 2020!"
Existential dread sets in
I knoow, I got low key triggered at hearing that lol 😂😖
The random coughs here and there seem alot more ominous now. They don't know what's about to hit them.
"Brennan had a fever"
.
.
.
oboy
i heard that and went (audibly), “holy shit”
My heart started RACING hearing this. Plus Brennan's fever!? Wow.
I did not expect Fabians redemption arc to be done through beautiful elven dance supported by 8000 thread count sheets

Oh my god, Fabian's celebratory scream at the end of the first battle with the boys is so cathartic.
He needed that. We needed that
The world needed that
“I have great news. You make it to the first floor WAY before Angwyn does.” 1:24:50
That whole sequence is peak D20 insanity. One of my favorite bits across all the seasons.
“I am going to allow this to happen. Hey Ally, I am going to *allow* this to happen.”
"Pay no attention to this noise"
*TSUNAMI OF DAMAGE DICE*
I saw this comment before I got to that part and it was so funny!
Aguefort genuinely having no idea what he did as he dragged the sun across the sky, while simultaneously acknowledging that the very foundations of magic were attempting to stop him from doing it, is quite possibly my favorite thing in this entire episode.
This man is just the embodiment of chaotic energy and i’m here for every scene
His alignment is chaos. Not good, bad, even neutral. Just pure, unadulterated chaos.
Not just that, but the fact that he did this while managing to be of quite literally no help to the party is the most hilarious part. If Adaine’s party wasn’t already planning a prison-break and all she had to count on was Aguefort, she would’ve been completely shit out of luck.
@@furygeist not chaotic neutral but, neutral chaotic.
I could not stop laughing at the vision of him sitting at his principals desk working on school stuff and then just "well, let's do it!" And climbing through a rift to just declare apocalypse on a nation 😂😂😂
Ok, real talk- Fabian’s Grandad is spitting some real wisdom that everyone, including us as the audience, are ignoring because he sounds rediculous, and because his life is so very different than ours.
“We have to go fight the Nightmare King”
“It is a cruel world that would have such young people go… do stuff. You should be here, eating grapes and dancing.”
“Maybe I’ll come back.”
“PLEASE come back. My only wish for you is to dance a bit more.”
This man lives a life in which he reflects on all the small beauties of the world. Isn’t that what we all want?
He is rightfully upset that underage teens are being asked to go into peril, which, YEAH. He SHOULD be. How is the Nightmare King not a quest for full grown adults?!
Some of his perspective is off from being removed from the world for so long, but it also means he cuts right through some of the bullshit at the heart of it.
He’s a real one for asking his Grandson to be careful and come back.
His grandfather dancing with Fabian is so beautiful. “I danced with your mother through these glades for years… You belong here… It is a cruel world beyond these shores that would see such beautiful children… have to do stuff.” It reminds me of the LOTR quote between Gandalf and Frodo: “I wish it need not have happened in my time… and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
Take away the light racism and he’s pretty cool.
@@SpamghettisIf you don’t mind telling me where was the light racism, I might have missed it?
@@AllieInWonderlandhe does make little comments like “you’ve brought half-orc, goblin, and human to these shores” and points out gilear being a wood elf after gilear asks about dating hilarel, nothing major but he’s definitely been around high elves that think themselves superior to everyone else and hasn’t deconstructed that in his own head. Sorry for the long response
Kristen’s jump may seem stupid, but her getting her spirit guardians to the first floor before Angwyn kinda single-handedly won them the fight by ending his concentration and letting Fig reroll her attack.
Only cause Brennen is really lenient with concentration 😂
@@slightlytsun4414 It's less it being lenient and more she had a magic item that makes it so she can have a concentration spell that will not drop unless she wants it to, it's why she can keep two concentration spells up at once.
@@nicholasholladay-elser7307 tbf though, that _is_ being lenient with concentration. Concentration is a major balancing act for magic in 5e, so having a magic item allowing to hold 2 at once is a major power boost.
@@wilhelmseleorningcniht9410 Perhaps but given how many times this group has made it only by the skin of their teeth, I'd say he still balances it in a way that that keeps it from being a problem. I mean the last battle in season 1 came down to a single off handed Nat 20 that there is no way that Brennen could have planned and had the integrity to honor for to be able to win the day.
Also thanks to Ally whenever one of my friends wants to RP in D&D as Indiana Jones, I'm gonna just put their proficiency damn as Ribbon Dancer
the bromance trio of Riz, Fabian, and Gorgug at the beginning is simply beautiful
Haven't seen this episode but hearing that at the time of recording people had been laid off by college humor but now today those people are back and making their own shows on Dropout is really heartwarming to see they weren't just left out to dry. Gotta love this network
shoutout Sam Reid for rescuing the company and bringing talent back in :)
Cambridge MA represent!!!
@@Terik17hell yeah, rescuing his friends and their company from a bunch of vulture capitalists, truly a real one
"We're back in 2020!"
"Brennan had a really bad fever recently."
Underrated comment
I was thinking the same thing too, and mixed with everyone coughing occasionally throughout makes this future me question a lot haha
😮
Tellemaine sounds like what drinking olive oil would feel like.
That’s is an amazingly accurate description
I appreciate Brennan's wise NPCs ... it's like a free bonus session with my therapist, but not.
Brennan dms as his action, and gives us all therapy as a bonus action
No fr. I'm like "write that down, write that down!" between fights lmao
i totally had to pause during the jawbone-kristen scene for a journal session 😂 fucking love brennan
The whole Jawbone interaction is so legit: Treat people like they have feelings vs a means to placate how you feel. Kristen wasn’t respecting how Trapper felt; she just wanted her to stop being mad at her. The conversation about the importance of truth was also enlightening. Jawbone didn’t say, “be 100% about everything always” but rather, “trust your gut… and know that hiding things doesn’t tend to work out well.”
I'm autistic and ayda aguefort is exactly like me and I adore her so much❤ she silently hopes for validation while also being direct and no other media has ever represented me so well ❤ 2:00:45
You go buddy ❤
relate!
im autistic too and she's so cool :3
Facts
Lmao
"Pay no attention to this sound!"
*Dumps a hundred dice on the table *
😂😂😂
1:21:18 “I have a crazy idea” prepare for the flight of Kristen Applebees
“Hey aly 1:21:47 I’m gonna allow this to happen”
“Is it ten stories?”1:23:16
“It’s ten stories.”
“Okay so that’s a natural 2. With your modifier, -1” 1:24:31
"I have great news... you make it to the first floor WAY before Angwyn does, right?" 1:24:50
flight of the bumblebee reference lol
Me at the beginning of the episode: Yes, the boys dancing and kicking ass is exactly what I needed after the latest heart wrenching events in previous episodes!!
Me at the end of the episode: I see Brennan just loves to make us cry, huh?
Gotta love the playful animosity in this group. And Lou saying “Get him Murph. Get him.” As Murph backseat DMs lmao 1:38:08
siobhan thompson has a talent for making me cry every fucking time
Honestly having Aelwyn and Adaine have the shield moment as they rest is so sweet and makes me so happy
Gorgugs had beef with elementals since the pool party
“Welcome to another 5 points of fire damage” I love.
i love the autistic eagle wizard
Phoenix not eagle
I wonder if Fabian is going to become battle dancer like Jonny Spells was...
He also got Spell's bike
And he is also a virgin...
i mean……….. kinda
I think either a melee Warlock (to commune with his father) OR a College of Swords bard would both make a lot of sense. The latter would be super cool because he could use both the Seacaster and Elven Legendary sword in duel wielding, and the Bardic levels would complement his new dancing persona.
This episode should be called "How Fabian got his groove back"
The captain’s new groove
I get my marriage advice from Brennan's off the dome speeches.
That can literally only go good or bad there is no in between
We've had a lot of chaotic moments this campaign, including Hilda Hilda and Fabian's terrible day, but I have never laughed harder at anything than I have at Kristen's attempt to fly using her ribbon dancer 😂😂
Also, it's got me wondering honestly who is more chaotic, Emily or Ally, bc Emily is constantly making insane choices to mess with the game, but Ally's occasional ones always have the worst and weirdest results lol
Ally will say "I have a crazy idea" and then they always roll a nat 20 or a -1 and both is hilarious
Ally is Chaotic good and Emily is chaotic neutral (verging on evil)
They're both two sides of the same type of player I never want at my table.
Two sides of the same coin - Cody "The Night Angel"@@Atmatan_Kabbaher
Two sides of the same coin: Semi-planned chaos and spontaneous chaos. Both are gonna result in some crazy shiz but it's gonna be amazing entertainment either way.
Brennan’s voice for Jawbone in this episode is so comforting and almost nostalgic
Some 100% real life wisdom. It seemed silly Kristen throwing large sums of fake gold away (I think Zach even tried to talk her out of it), but I’m so glad we got that scene, and it was honestly worth every penny. I feel like I learned something from that whole exchange.
The story with Adaine and Aelwyn always makes me cry man, hits a real soft spot
This series is a drug, I'm so addicted to it. Thank you all for uploading it on yt,otherwise i wouldn't be able to see it because dropout doesn't work where i live.
I almost subscribed when I finished watching episode 9, this is really addicting. I did not subscribed only because of other season about Unsleeping City
If you become a member on youtube, that also gives you access to everything else you'd get on dropout!
@@moomoocat2708 really??? I didn't know about it to be honest!!!! Thank you alot for this info
Samee, I'm obsessed!
Been addicted since seeing Brennan helm EXU: Calamity
Whenever I think Aguefort can't get more chaotic and batshit, Brennan levels up that performance.
Man like 90% of clips of Brennan I've ever seen have been with him beardless but after like 9 episodes of getting used to the beard I'm taken aback by his bare face 😂
This might be my favorite episode for the simple fact that everyone gets a moment in the spotlight, and it’s a culmination of so many interpersonal relationships. Fabian finally comes into his own after his really bad (long-drawn out) day. Gorgug gets revenge on the elements. Riz plays an important role in their success (but also quietly lets the others claim the spotlight, as he often does). Ayda is so clutch in dispelling the orbs and counterspelling some of the more brutal Elven attacks. Fig, despite her poor battle rolls, connects majorly with Ayda. Siobhan recovers her spellbook & gear and really bonds with her sister for the first. Kristen’s goofy idea ends up saving the day by dispelling Angwuin’s invisibility and allowing Fig to clock him (her one good role). To top it all off, we can get awesome therapy session from Jawbone (and some wisdom from Fabian’s gpa) AND a little bit of well deserved hubris from Arthur Aguefort. It’s just a perfect episode.
Fabian and the fire elemental is giving Finn and the flame princess
it really is a beautiful scene and so well narrated
My thoughts exactly.
I love how Adaine specializes in just casting diseases
Fabian is on track to be a Monk way of flowing ribbons🤣
I want to know what Angwyn sees as Kristen jumps from the top floor and swings a ribbon around like an insane person.
Why tf is jawbone such a good therapist- FUCK WHY IS EVERYONE A GOOD THERAPIST???
Because Brennan is a summer camp counselor whose number 1 dream is to be a dad
Martial Archetype dancer would be a great class for Fabian
I figured Blade Dancer
i beleive he is a battlemastwe/swords bard now
@@sohpeeah3131battlemaster/swords bard is a great combo, I've made one myself. Insane nova damage and battlefield control
@@Lord_necromancer splash in swords bard with martial is super fun. i’m playing a swords bard10/pld 2 in a campaign currently and i can totally explode people with flourish plus smite while still being able to do all the normal bard stuff
"We're back in 2020 gang!" Oh no... oh god... *has war flashbacks*
And Brennan had a fever
@@AzureImperium7701X And some of the players were coughing here and there
The beginning of this episode with Aguefort is one of my favorite moments of this campaign. Esp when Ally mentions that Brennen had a fever over the break. Just, amazing story telling as per usual. Also- if anyone is considering getting dropout and just aren't sure- I'd def recommend it! There's tons of more absolutely top notch content and it's def worth the price IMO. These amazing creators deserve to be paid for their work!!!!!
Sometimes when the players emulate what their character is doing in real life, I can't help but imagine a cartoon where their character looks just as hilarious doing said action in a cartoon hahahahaha.
There's more than a few fan animations of the Bad Kids' shenanigans.
@@belindaluna2067 there's a big difference between a couple of short, largely unrelated animations and a full on cartoon depicting the entire series.
@@paranoiarpincess You did not specify a cartoon depicting the entire series. And since we don't _have_ something like that yet, fan animations are the next best thing. They're better than nothing. And some of them are really cool.
But if you don't want to check them out that's your loss.
@@belindaluna2067I’m sensing lots of feelings here.
@@AzureImperium7701X Nah.
Excuse me? Ribbon dance window jump? Yes. This is why we like Brennan because he allows shit like this.
He didn't "allow" anything, Kristen just jumped and took regular falling damage 😂
@@finny0125 he allowed her to try, she rolled for it
@@bubbleswearhats5577 Fair enough, though he definitely wasn't going to let Kristen do what Ally was describing. To me the roll felt more like a "how bad will this be" 😂
@@finny0125 she came back on nat 20 from death with no rules backing that roll so anything is possible i think
@@bubbleswearhats5577 I mean 5e RAW a nat 20 on a detah save means you get 1hp and regain consciousness. But the heaven scene was purely Brennan and he deserves all the hype for it
You cant just destroy a government... but the halfling anarchists can certainly assist
Brennan uses the same stealth/ suspense music all the time, but he especially uses it whenever there’s a nightmare king attack, and so when he plays it normally I just get flashbacks. Like… NO NOT BARON ARE THEY HERE???
"We're out of the tower...did we escape or did we die?"
😢Gods, this is killing me. I feel so bad for her.
As soon as heard them were running through the wood like anime characters, THEY ARE LITERALLY ON THE SASUKE RETRIEVAL ARC! 😂
First time seeing these, hope that Aelwyn will be fine. I loved her when she got to that party, kissed fabian and trapped a girl in a crystal, and I definitely love her now, I need her to be alright.
Edit: Got to the end... I mean I know I said I loved her when she was terrible but I didn't want her to get back to that! Better then ruined and scared tho... Can't wait for thursday
I have a feeling she will be less cruel just do to the fact that she was angry at herself for being callous and not sticking up for her sister. I think she will be witty like before but less so a evil dickhead.
Oh man, if Adaine and her sister become best friends I'm gonna cry for sure.
Edit at the end of the video: 💔

30:11 riz says 'keep going, gorgug!'
You are a god
Brennan has such a way with saying heartbreaking things entirely off the cuff that when he pauses and says "I am about to describe something heartbreaking" my entire body clamped up in fear.
Lol I started crying 😂😭
Looks like Lou switched out dice with Brennan when no one was looking :P
I don't know if anybody has said this yet but using the bass guitar to try and sus out gems. Was not a bad idea at all considering every kind of mineral has its own resonating frequency
Aguefort has to be one of my all time favorite characters. Probably partially due to how fun Brennan has playing him, but yeah, he's just great.
I love Ayda more and more every episode 🧡❤
couldnt be me crying like im 6 years old at Adaine and Aelwyn being actual lovinf sisters for the first... in like... well, ever i guess.. that hit a soft spot truly
It’s very clear that while Kir acts kinder, she is exactly like Adaine’s father. “Why are you being so difficult?“
Like bro you said that if she didn’t comply you’d execute her for treason that’s INSANE-
"You can't just destroy a government." ~Arthur Aguefort
I'm so glad you made that have a cost. The things he was doing didn't seem like magic...more like the work of the gods. I'm interested and curious to see if said gods take offense to it.
Considering he snuck into heaven and acted as a god for most of a year without anyone knowing I doubt the man gives the slightest semblance of a fuck.
@@darkvizardking69 That's true, but that's just playing the character. Brennan introduced consequences for that being a thing. That's good writing.
@@OldWayArtisans oh I never questioned that, I feel that Brennan uses characters like these to not show how balls to the wall he can go, but as a warning.
@@darkvizardking69 A fair view. I personally felt he was just going ham on what that particular character would have wanted, whether it was convenient to the plot or party, or even to his own wishes. Playing the character as ONLY what they would and should be.
It's sometimes really tempting to tweak that a bit and bend the rules toward what you want for plot. I didn't see him do that deliberately. He still got there.
If he has any room in his next game, I want to be there.
@@OldWayArtisans I'm with you on that one, he has such a chaotic energy that I love to just listen to, imagine being at that table to experience it.
>"Its January 2020!"
>"Brennan's had a bad fever"

1:25:28
I can just imagine in Kristen’s mind she’s like “Nailed it” lol
As a recently diagnosed autistic adult the interaction between Ayda and Fig having a slumber party hit me so hard I burst into tears. I absolutely love her character and having an NPC I relate to so deeply is very special to me.
Fabian's Box of Doom moment was
Pure. Fuckin. KINO!!! Brought tears to my eyes. SPRING BREAK, BABY!!!!
the scene of adaine and aelwyn cuddling and the shield thing made me tear up ngl i didn't expect to be moved by that
The first 45 minutes of this episode are perfectly phrased in "The boys had a weird day"
Weird seeing the beginning of this video and knowing a lot of those people come back lol. Like, I was just watching Dirty Laundry shorts with Lily and then came here where he says she left the company
She didn't leave, they all got laid off when IAC ceased funding and Sam Reich bought CH Media - Collegehumor's parent company.
@@debran940 Yes, I didn't mean leave as in quit just as in "isn't there"
Ok, i was under the impression Fabian lost his subclass abilities because of his exhaustion/confidence shift, but I guess he's completely abandoning his previous persona...?
Yeah it was a moment where his sense of self was completely shattered. His previous subclass was Champion, and he felt nothing like an actual champion. That’s why he and Brennan decided to remove his subclass.
Correct, in the previous episode Brennan states that Lou elected to remove his subclass. It wasn't mechanically the result of anything, besides being a choice made by the player that Brennan allowed.
He had his ego completely destroyed by the event of whitclaw, so now he's working on figuring out who he is. Lord of the dance is that.
Fabian's whole persona was built around his adoration for Bill and his need for Bill's approval, so when he discovers that he is very much not a pirate captain in the crunch and sees what the pirate's life actually involves, it makes thematic sense for him to start from scratch.
It made the game much harder for everyone, but I absolutely respect Lou's conviction and integrity. This whole game is full of absolute masters.
Brennan being a counselor is to perfect.
I listened to all of this over two nights while painting a 4 sided mural that wraps around a juice bar.
What a journey.
Aydya and Fig bonding makes me SOB. i love them smmm
7:46 “Very well, let’s do it, GYAH!”
I hope to be this resolute and inspired in the face of sudden adversity someday… Minus the red ocean of consequence of course.
Fabian dancing with fire literally is fully inspiring me to pick up that shit, that was beautiful
01:34:34 this interaction between the elven sword and Adaine is comedy
1:31:26 Ayda loudly pronouncing “Mwah!” is so relatable 😅 i absolutely got roasted by my first partner for doing something similar
Every time Brennan does Jawbone I’m just so impressed with the emotional intelligence. More men need to learn to understand other people like that.
I had not-in *any* way-expected to be weeping over Aelwyn Abernant today, and yet here we are.
I am so late to the party as far as Dimension 20 is concerned but I am so happy my DM recommended you! this is by far my fave episode in sophomore year so far. Mr's are doing it for themselves, taking on the fire elementals, without a healers help, YEAH!
oh boy this episode
this one def hurts
If all teachers cared as much as aguefort the world would be a better place 😂
The bad kids and this show are a very special kind of energy that just brings boundless glee to my day
The fight scene metal music slaps and I live watching Lou vibe to it.
I could've been a good boy and wait for 2 weeks till January 8th to watch this. But I've already been waiting for 3 years to see this
Same here
@@lonerboy4951 Merry Christmas 😊
I’m obsessed with Ayda and Fig’s friendship!! They’re so perfect for each other!!
2:12:37 everytime Brennan gives advice i forget for a second that his job is commedy and not marriage counsling, therapy or life coaching...
START OF 2020 BRENNAN HAS A REALLY BAD FEVER
The ending made me cry 😭
Brennan: "We're back in 2020 gang!"
Me: "Ohhh dear"
This might be the best episode of Fantasy High ever! I could not predict any moment of this
As a Chet, I was not expecting my name to show up in this series
I love how dumb gorgug is until murph and zach need to problem solve together 😂😅
Best episode so far in my opinion, im cracking up as my co workers are making sure im not losing it!
Arthur Augefort: "alright, lets do it!"
Proceeds to rip the sun from the sky and destroy a mountain range while utilizing insanely powerful magic and starting a war with a nation.
THE most hilarious wizard ever. I could not stop laughing at how he is so chaotic.
21:22 What wholesome energy to be like: we are likely about to fight a battle where one of us could die... "I believe in you, I believe in you, lets do this!"
Don’t look at me I’m ugly crying about Aelwyn. This show!
Arthur Aegfort being so unhinged is one of my favorite things in this world.
Brennan is an insanely creative DM 😂😂😂 1,000 terracotta agueforts
currently sobbing over the journey through aelwyn’s mind. GODDDD that hurts
Man, why does Fabian always make me cry? I wanted to scream just as loudly for seeing him finally have a W.
Remember when brennan lee mulligan predicted luffy's gear 5?
My left ear loves this video
Free dad slap 😂 1:10:32
