I'm so happy Rob has is showing the consequences of the mental torture rowan/bodger is causing throughout the series

For anyone who forgot who Dirk was (20 episodes ago), he was an extremely amiable giant the group met on their way to Goodhead. After speaking with the group, he was meant to guide them the rest of the way. Dirk offered food, clothes, shelter, anything that was asked of him, he was willing to provide without question to the group.

Bodger couldn't eat Jerky though as the only meat he eats is fish (pesceterian), so he started searching all the cupboards and everywhere to find something else to eat.

Bodger found a locket, which clearly made Dirk sad. Bodger tried some skill checks, each one progressively making Dirk more and more sad. The locket contained a picture of two giants. One is presumably Frank.

Leaving the home of Dirk, who joined them in tears, they travelled toward Goodhead. Running into a family of Yeti's, a battle occured, and Dirk transformed into a werebear.

Bodger was convinced the locket had something to do with Dirk's transformation, so he decided to try to find out more information about the locket and rolled a natural 1 persuasion check, which resulted in Bodger just repeating "locket" a dozen times in an effort to convince Dirk to talk about it. Dirk started crying so much that he was no longer able to escort the group. The group left without him, leaving Dirk in tears.

In this episode, a group meant to hunt down a werebear finds Dirk, tries to kill him, but Dirk willingly, without question or any attempt to persuade otherwise, allows the hunters to hang him. Presumably because he was so severely depressed, he did not care to fight and welcomed his end.

Can’t wait to see Gandalph and Phrodo go on an adventure with the rest of the Phellowship of the Ring.

[Beaker]

In todays episode, the group finds out the meaning of

C O N S E Q U E N C E S

[TheRealZulu]

Bodger starts recounting his story...
Everyone else: SKIP!

[leefisher]

20:11 - Padraig: 'But the last few lines of this document are missing on the copy!'
Greg: 'Yeah, it looks like Poppy ran out of Ram.'

[crystallxix]

HAMISH WHAT WILL WE DO WITHOUT YOUR INCREDIBLY COMPLEX (and admittedly nonsensical) CHARACTER AND YOUR KISSES ON THE FOREHEADS!

[RaymondMarini]

Gang: We're lawful good, yea, yea!
Dirk's Ghost: Sob

[tarekmoneimsaid]

27:38 holy sh... Rob's Greg impersonation was on point, amazing :D

[vhoward]

Even the show went to a commercial break during Bodger’s story. 😂

[leefisher]

The barbarian's under a curse
He doesn't want it to get worse
Removing the charm
Won't do him much harm...
But will seriously damage his purse.

[wjzav]

When Greg mentioned Padric to Yaris, he gave a slight reaction. And now when Padric learns of Yaris, he is clearly thunderstruck.
I tell you, there is something off about Padric and Yaris knew about it.

[leoprzytuac]

From now on, every time I need to scan something, I'll shout "Yarris Goldhorn, scan!" out of nowhere

[arielespoir]

Just as I edited my comment, I realized Rob had hearted it. Now it is gone. Sad, sad me. :'(
So apparently this is a YouTube mechanic and I learned it the hard way. Here's the original comment if you're interested.

Greg: *happy tinkering noises* Ah yeah, just tinkerin' on my photo-copy machine.
*days later*
Greg: Yes, finally! Behold, my masterpiece has been finished! The Super Speedy Photo-Poppy 420! Greg, you are a genius. Now to put this bad boy to wor...
Random Clerk: *enters* Master Padriac? Here are the documents you asked me to transcribe for you.
Greg: ...'kay.

"Good job on the subtitles btw"

(thanks) in the subtitles :D


"5 people talking at once"

(cry.wav) :DD

[melissaclaassen]

Rob, thank you for validating me in letting players do goofy things, like inventing a copier, and working their supposed nonsense into the story. It's just so amazing to see!

[juenger]

The look on the group's faces when they realize they caused the only person to openly and freely help them to accept being murdered because of their actions was priceless

Rob needs a small jar for "DM rage" drop a d6 in it everytime they go too far off the rails take one out for being very good players and occasionally during encounters or checks pull one out and roll it (they don't need to know if it changes anything or not)

[TheScopeGlint]

Bodger’s backstory: I left when my family were all hanged. They were set up. Some nonsense about my family causing mental distress in people to the point of suicide. It’s all bullsh*t. One day I will have justice

[Carnatux]

That moment at the end when they realize bodger is going to be a nightmare for at least a week now...
