    I'm glad they gave Tiberius a good send off honestly. It was a nice thing to do to remove him from the world, since Orion was never coming back, while showing he died a hero fighting the dragon and then giving him a temporary, decent burial. It was really sad but definitely something that needed to be done and handled this well.

      Sam is probably the most impressive D&D player of the bunch. The whole time his motivation is to incite a battle between Thordak and Vorugal, and the team, through parts of the episode, didn't agree to the plan or backed out eventually. Even Grog backed out and it was his plan to begin with! Scanlan on the other hand, takes the mistake of mentioning Whitestone and opens up maybe the best opportunity to start that battle between Thordak and Vorugal. The battlefield tilts and wanes at the whim of Scanlan Shorthalt. Oh and then even with the modify memory, and knowing the consequences of mentioning Whitestone, Keyleth mentions Whitestone again 3:53:16...SMH...

    • @Shornaal13
      @Shornaal13 Před 4 lety +88

      In that regard, Scanlan is the sharpest tool in the shed, ahead of even Percy. Keyleth has the highest Wisdom stat, and yet is utterly clueless most of the time. Even Grog's insight and sharpness are ahead of hers. Odd indeed.

    • @nojusticenetwork9309
      @nojusticenetwork9309 Před 4 lety +72

      I would consider the memory alter less of a smart move and more of a high risk, possibly moderate reward play. Constantly arguing for actions that would in all likelihood draw attention to them before they could possibly be ready and blurting out information that put them at a disadvantage much like mentioning Whitestone by name isn't exactly a sign of high tactical thinking, though I will give props for his quick thinking. The problem is that had it not been successful, they would like have a fight on their hands...inside of a Dragon's lair. That being said I don't really fault him or any of the other players for slip ups like that because even with a strong imagination it's easy to forget or not consider certain details that seem obvious in hindsight when you don't have a real visual perspective. Also, they're just mechanical stats, they don't actually reflect player thought processes people so the unnecessary Keyleth jab is well...unnecessary.

      ​@@godturkey4098 When Scanlan nonchalantly mentioned "Whitestone" among the Ravenites. They got in trouble but Scanlan fixed it immediately. There is no hate or at least constructive criticism.
      But when Keyleth (and Vex) did something similar (Even though it won't affect them negatively as much) or just plain annoying? Explosion of hate. I don't mind constructive criticism of Keyleth's behavior. But most of the noisy ones are attacking her as if they know the character more than the player and some are just plain sexist and rude.
      The double standard is hard to ignore sometimes.
      I just accept everything they do as I see it. This is their game and we are lucky to see them play it. If I got annoyed, that's fine. Its better that way than loving a perfect character, which is boring.

So he could be in character just shacking this shiny thing muttering words that's actually just him indicating he has an idea that's he's too stupid to actually come up with in character.

    Ever since the moment they landed in Wildmount, I can't stop a little Jester closed in her room waiting for a friend to play with her, a little Fjord crying in an orphanage, Beau desperately crying for attention from her father, Caleb spending time with his parents. Veth i think might not even be born at this point, Yasha being happy in her tribe. And Caduceus just waiting in the Blooming Grove sipping tea with dead people...

    The thing I like most about these narrative driven stories as opposed to a story just about getting jobs done, is that it can add so much more flavour that you wouldnt get in another medium. Just a little thing like Vex saying she had a bad nights sleep which potentially will give her an exhaustion point but it doesnt matter as it makes more sense for her character and developing the setting. I'm imagining if this was a videogame and we would simply just reload a save. I guess shows like this allow for a more broader narrative experience as its not simply about getting to the end, because there technically is no end.

      Just try to imagine the ramifications of losing something significant. Loosing a loved one that you cant ever remember having had in hte first place. Waht of you would also be lost? How much of hte person you fought tooth and nail to become would just be ...gone, reset, removed and replaced by a you that you had tried so desperately to escape?
      As a survivor of emotional and psychological abuse, this destroys me. This scared me on a level nothing else can touch, to think that someday someone could wake up and just be a completely different person, and never know it. To be thrust back into the place they tried so hard ot crawl out of, and never even know that teh people that helped them the first time were ever there.
      All it takes is losing the memory of one person, or one event, on chance meeting, and you could simple forget that you had ever decided to be the you that you fought to be.
      It is terrifying on an indescribable level, and even this lesser form, just losing a couple of days of wonder and soft words, it's terrible, and devastating. And while it's fictional for us, it's real for hte characters.
      I am so glad that it didn't have to be a permanent thing. But my god, I am terrified of that spell now.

      @@Luinta I agree that it's horrifying, but it makes sense to me that Sam doesn't get that for a long, long time.
      He has never played D&D or RPGs and plays this (purely, which is great, good or bad) -- as a game. If Scanlan can modify someone's memory and he lives, great. He doesn't get at first how repellent this is in the larger picture.
      I definitely appreciated as time went on that you could see changes in Sam's portrayal of Scanlan -- from a caricature "funny guy, no feelings, stalking Pike" to a genuinely complex person -- and I really do love that and find the journey worth it.
      But he is also playing according to Scanlan's alignment, and Scanlan is like, "if they don't know, will it hurt them?" So it's upsetting but -- believable.
      The only use of Modify Memory I've seen that I loved was Laura's in C2. Because it was justifiable, a good counteracting evil, and saved a friend.

      There is a time constraint here. It takes about a year worth of daily casting of that spell to permanently set the circle in a place. That is why that option was out of the question from the start.

      Teleportation circle requires a target circle to arrive. Assum could potentially know Teleport which doesn’t require a circle at either end.

      Problem with this is that the lowest possible clouds are 2.400 m (8.000 ft) high.
      And I am pretty sure that this bubble doesn't go that high.
      This buble would've to be over 2.400 m (8.000 ft) high to write anything in the coulds while having it under the bubble.
      Why would you create such high protective bubble above the city when the thing you want to protect from is known to fly a lot?
      It doesn't make any sense.
      So either Keyleth would just write it high enough so the dragon can see it clearly above the bubble or the bubble would be so high that the dragon would just flew in there while crossing over the city.
      Unless Matt would bend the rules of nature, again, for Keyleth's spell to work the way Marisha wants.
      EDIT: Oh, so I watched a little bit further and the dome is about 80-100 ft tall. There's no fucking way there are clouds under the roof of the dome.
