D&D Episode 10 :: The Fight to Free Tolay

Yay! It’s finally out! I will be doing very little at work tomorrow, I suspect.

Also, that art may be one of the most epic things ever. I want that on a tshirt! Or a poster.

Gods.
That was the most epic episode so far. The catacombs-corridor part was taking it up to eleven. I didn’t really get the part after the whole sage dialogue, but I blame severe multi-tasking.

The sage dialogue was very interesting indeed. It’s nice to know that the questions I asked about the items in the comments a couple DnDs back were coincidentally answered in here.

The Medallion, especially, seems rather appropriate to fill the void in the party skill; the diplomat/smooth-talker. While Jamella tries to play that role, she doesn’t quite have the stats to back this up. Now if she learns to control the
Medallion, the party will be pretty much set.

Speaking of Jamella. I begin to see a pattern, here. Several rows of critical failures, fuelling her anger and frustration to the point that she eventually unleashes enough power to bring down a god.

The entire cast, really. It seems as though they reached something near perfection in terms of teamwork, at least temporarily; the catacombs fight proves it. Of course, that performance was aided by some insanely high rolls, but still. I do hope they keep this up. Overall they seem to be acting more as a single unit rather than the mess they started with.

Now, in a less praise-boy and more critic attitude: Interesting to see that you’re experiencing with background music and sound effects. I like the idea as a whole, but a couple comments on that:

The background music could be a little lower. Duel of Fates was okay, but the other tracks were a little too loud; I lost the dialogue line a couple times. Maybe it’s a matter of adjusting the overall tone of the specific track to a bearable level. I think that the Medallion of Mists episode had a rather flawless sync in that respect.
The same could be said for the sound effects. I feel that if they must be included within dialogue, they be a tad lower.

Now, I have one actual complaint; The music itself. I wouldn’t say it didn’t fit with the episode, just that it was… Below average, and usually you throw in some awesome stuff in DnD. This episode’s started rather well, but after Duel of Fates I felt that it degraded a little. Again, as everything I said, it is merely personal opinion that does not and should not have any bearing on anything. Just my two cents as a stalker-grade fan of the show.

Hell yes! Thanks for the new episode. Can’t wait to listen. Expect a very drunken, incoherent, possibly insulting comment in about an hour!

Oh yeah, I wave my dong at you.

A fine episode.

Interestingly, I actually thought duel of fates was placed somewhat awkwardly in, and that inception fit perfectly. To each there own, I guess. On sound effects, I deffinetly agree that they should be a little quieter. The hyena laugh seemed jarring the first few times, although I did get used to it by the end. I also think the voice modulator thingy should really be used sparingly, although it’s awesome on wolf-bear.

Other than that, you know, good episode, lots of fun. It did strike me ass odd that after liquifying the hyena men, the soldiers didn’t take a sec to go ‘holy monkey, you guys rock!’ and celebrate at the deaths of all those enemies. Instead it was cut scened passed, skipping straight to meeting the guy who took them to the sage.

That’s my only story complaint though, everything else rocked. Can’t wait for the next one!

so much good…
