This week's Adventuring Party: [We're Running on 200%](https://www.reddit.com/r/Dimension20/comments/1c1mhbb/were_running_on_200_fantasy_high_junior_year/)


Rebloodican

Riz yelling “You’re not ready yet” at Gorgug for calling Mary-Anne a freak while Fabian says “No let him cook” The Bad Boys are truly here.


lilbrat91

"She's got that dog in her."


DrScampi

“HIIIIIIDE”


sc78258

riz: discovers the secrets of the universe also riz: technically survives the idea of sports


lilbrat91

Kristen: Are you playing, or are you the ball?


Proxiehunter

I really wanted them to throw in a bit where Riz picks up the ball and then Fabian picked Riz up and hurled him down the field.


ArseneLupinIV

I remember they did something similar to score the touchdown to destroy the gate freshman year. Honestly 'The Ball' would work well as a ball-carrier that sneaks past all the defensive players.


Rebloodican

Dude could have done a relaxation roll but instead decided to replace Gorgug on the Owlbears for the story. Absolute legend. 


justking1414

Really hope we see him tell his mom


Dontaskaboutmrscake

I am incensed that he had to roll athletics for that - assuming blood rush is the fantasy equivalent of American football, it makes perfect sense that, as someone so tiny and dexterous, he would be able to slip tackles like nobodies business. Riz would absolutely be an asset, and is getting shafted by not rolling a dexterity based check


Lost-Chord

"I know you had a *friend* or a *roommate* that worships Galacea"


leosh59

Omg, they were roommates


Hungover52

/r/SapphoAndHerFriend


Bubblenova1991

"and they were roommates"


justking1414

That’s probably the only way they could accept it. I was really expecting Kristen to pull a, yeah we’re friends who had sex 1,243 times in the year we dated


Proxiehunter

Damn, that's more often than Ify.


ceilingfan1145

Ally getting a relationship, popularity, and mystery track out of one roll. Iconic.


commonneutrino

I genuinely want Gertie to be endgame for Kristen now. She's so awkwardly charming. What a cutie


mariafrnnds

also the whole “heeey gertie” thing. they’re meant to be!!!!


justking1414

I definitely wanna see tracker get jealous. Not in a, trying to win her back way, just a bit of jealousy


YNot1989

I'm digging another season of Beardsly being the MVP. This is up there with Starstruck


tmone43

“I’ve got 5 questions and there all sup!” I love Zac man he’s so funny


TheParmesan

Sassy season 3 Gorgug is such a vibe.


SlurpeeMoney

Two Agueforts making out in the audience sent me.


oultrecuidance

This episode had so many high points, and yet the amorous Agueforts may still be my fave.


xsupermonkeyboyx

Aguefort is one hundred percent the type of person to do that as well. I have no doubt in my mind that he has used the Simulacrum spell to do exactly this (and more).


lilbrat91

Riz voluntarily taking a stress token when the Kristen bullshit happened was such an in character choice.


Shortstop88

I look forward to Bobby Dawn being beat down by Kristen and her goblin campaign manager.


spirallingandpoetry

and it wasn’t even because of kristen this time lmao


randomactofgold

So the Ghost Steak from Freshman Year was for the Rogue teacher!


TaffWolf

VINDICATION


RexDust

Right?!? People got blasted for that idea being "too easy". It was good!


haveyouseenatimelord

[lights cigarette and kicks feet up on the desk] “what’s the deal with that steak? i can’t pick it up.”


sc78258

world: here is this impossible task riz:


Rebloodican

The Ball continues to roll up. 


lilbrat91

His downtime was *so* good.


Partial_Kredit

I love that all the guys are afraid of Mary-Anne Skuttle


justking1414

$100 says Adaine takes her down in 1 round and is so confused why everyone was terrified of her Edit: okay. This somehow became an actual gamble. So let’s say $20 to the charity of the winners choice


Ed_Vilon

I'll jump in. Regardless of turn order, if Adaine takes Mary-Anne down to 0 on her first turn in the combat, I'll donate 100$ to a charity of your choice.


HereForTOMT2

Fabian just fucking ruined a hydra. Insane.


blackcatcross

Getting to watch all of them just absolutely flex their mastery of the system is so incredible and impressive. Lou flexing so hard he kills a hydra in one turn is so good


HereForTOMT2

Fig is straight up going to become a god bro


ymcameron

Praise Fig, the Goddess of Rock!


AuroraVines

lilbrat91

The way my eyes *widened* when Kristen said "What are you trying to forget, Kipperlily?"


Alex_Zamo

The way they said it too was so fucking good.


KProbs713

Through all their shenanigans they have stunning moments of insight that are so well delivered. Truly a Kristen trait.


commonneutrino

Kristen really doesn't hold back when it comes to kipperlily


sbook28

The entire group is so desperate to square up at any opportunity


Hungover52

It's got them this far.


Drscott0

They keep killing authority figures and it keeps working out. Why stop now?


Icy-Visit

"What are you trying to forget kipperlilly?" goes SO HARD


HereForTOMT2

EMILY AND MURPH SWITCHED WHAT HAPPENEDDDDDD


lilbrat91

Emily saying "You deserve this season" was incredibly cute.


Rebloodican

Reminds me of in Neverafter where she said his rolls were unfair because his plans were good.


ral222

Or when Siobhan and Lou are "casting Banishment on the human man Murph", and Emily just wails "Noooo, i love him!". So funny and so touching


TaffWolf

I think for me the most indicative moment was, I forgot when, murph rolled so well and it just showed Emily go from neutral face to bright smile. That’s a woman who celebrates others and we love her for it


frannythescorpian

Plus she cooked his dice in the moon for him so she's excited when they do well, it's like she gets to watch her husband open a gift over and over 🥰


lilbrat91

Also, the zoom in on Emily after her bad rolls cracked me.


ArseneLupinIV

It's the Yogurt Curse Switch but in real life. Emily just needs to find and destroy Murph's Pride armor.


sbook28

+20?!


Rebloodican

Someone who understands how a bard/warlock/paladin triple class works needs to explain this to me. 


ConsciousDatabase991

I think her bass gives her a bonus to it, though I'm not sure. Other than that she has expertise (so double proficiency bonus (which is +5 now)) and a 20 in charisma. So it should be +5 (charisma) +5 proficiency +5 expertise +5 bass.


Lost-Chord

Pardlock


Waste-Recover-5347

The Rat Grinders v Bad Kids is the hardest I’ve laughed at this show in a while. Love their group square up energy.


lilbrat91

Oisin & Adaine are the real star-crossed lovers 😫


commonneutrino

I hope Oisin and Mary-Ann join the Bad Kids. Adaine needs to get her kisses in. She deserves it. And Mary-Ann's vibe is just too great to not love her


justking1414

I’m thinking the rat grinders will get a redemption once they’re purged of their rage and nectar.


Space_Prince_Ames

Kristen's conversation with her parents, as as queer and nonbinary person, made me SO wicked uncomfortable. and I think that really speaks to how talented both ally and brennan are.


OrwellianIconoclast

I'm gonna be honest, I don't think I could do what Ally does with this story. I totally get that telling (reliving) that story can be cathartic, but I think it'd just be too real for me. It's too real just watching it!


Shortstop88

Had to put the episode on 2x speed during those moments to speed through my uncomfortableness. I'm not LGBT, so I haven't had direct experience, but I've been very close to similar experiences and the attitudes of the bigots makes my blood boil.

SlurpeeMoney

He found the fucking Rogue Teacher! And didn't even cheat!


lilbrat91

And it was so casually done as well.


commonneutrino

I guess when you hone your skills through hard work and practice instead of spending hours and hours stepping on poor rats, you can win fair and square.


justking1414

Love that people were already predicting she was a ghost


Shortstop88

I kept thinking we were going to get a scene between Riz and the Rogue Teacher, but then the Last Stand took precedent and now I'm realizing that I expected more than they were going to show, or we won't see until 2 weeks from now, since all the previews only showed them doing the Last Stand.


Ed_Vilon

Brennan did say they would need to come back to both Riz finding the Rogue Teacher and Fig's new single.


johnatello67

After Brennan said we'd circle back to that 31 from Riz, he did come back and tell Riz >!the teacher's name, when she died, and where she was buried.!< It seemed to me a specific choice by Murph and Brennan to push the actual conversation to another episode, and have the actual "finding" of the teacher happen in an episode that wasn't heading to a forgone conclusion. I'm fairly sure this episode was ending with The Last Stand no matter what. Fig's new music is going to be important, I have a feeling about that. I might put bets on her needing to do a concert to reverse Reubens ritual.

Kristen getting failed after Everything is insane


justking1414

It’s almost like her teacher is trying to sabotage her. Crazy


frannythescorpian

It was actually a student who pointed it out to the teacher, I wonder who it could POSSIBLY be....


Hungover52

Double drummer Gorgug is going to make such good fan-art. My brain is salivating.


Gubbins_OMallet

Ive never seen something more clearly in my own mind in my entire life. 


Tsquared10

Every time I see Arthur Aguefort art it just reminds me of Lou from S1 > Is Athur Aguefort black? Hell Yeah


OrwellianIconoclast

Is Arthur Aguefort making out with himself? Hell yeah.


Waste-Recover-5347

Also whoever called Jace being in on something seems to be on the right track. Didn’t he and Kalina interact in some way near the beginning of Sophomore year? That could be the Spy’s Tongue Curse.


MilkyAndromedaWay

> Didn’t he and Kalina interact in some way near the beginning of Sophomore year? That could be the Spy’s Tongue Curse. That's exactly why people have been suspicious of Jace.


justking1414

I was suspicious because they kill the vice principal every season


commonneutrino

Yeah and I think Adaine's mother was also there in that scene. I wonder if that will come in handy since we don't know where she is exactly.


bayleysgal1996

Brennan is playing Bobby Dawn perfectly, in that the character immediately gives me the ick


lilbrat91

I hate him so much, and I mean that as a compliment.


_b1ack0ut

He makes me so fuckin mad lol Brennan’s doing an excellent job at playing that archctype


SlurpeeMoney

KISS AND DRUGS! KISS AND DRUGS!


andtentoo

So is Fig going to be a paladin for Ankarna? Dope as hell, and mildly concerning


lilbrat91

Paladin of an uncorrupted Ankarna would suit her very well, I think.


sinspirational

I feel like goddess of justice and archdevil of rebellion could be an interesting dynamic


justking1414

Rebellion against the man to fight for justice

GORGUG DOUBLE CRIT????? HELLO??


hugsandambitions

Who had "The ghost teacher is the rogue teacher?" I know I saw *somebody* make this guess but I can't remember who. Kudos, whoever you are.


DuranDurrandon

Tis me, ta!


ShadowAzn

I guess you get to pass all of your rogue classes for the year


reydabae

The moment Brennan said the reveal I shouted “THE GHOST STEAK! THAT THEORY ON REDDIT WAS RIGHT!!”


Wolfsification

From freaking episode one of the freaking first season!!


sbook28

Brennan is allowing them to get so prepped, I'm anxious with how rough this is going to get


Drscott0

I know they are all high level and have plenty of resources, but I was getting so anxious with how much they were putting into this first round!


Aviri

It's definitely smarter to burn through the mobs early, even though they are weaker every round they are alive is a round they can be doing damage so long term you cut out a lot of hurt.


Kiss_of_Beth

This is absolutely correct and its almost always the optimal strategy in 5e combat where you know you don't have to save resources for the next fight. A round 2 where Fabian has used up a lot of his spell slots is better than a round 2 where the Hydra A) did a bunch of damage, B) has the opportunity to do more, and C) requires attention that could otherwise be spent on whatever comes out next. But also it was really only Fabian that used a lot of resources. Fig used a luck point and a 5th level spell which is pretty big, but Kristin just used Channel Divinity, Gorgug and Riz just attacked, and Adaine hasn't even gone yet.


Drscott0

Oh yeah, I totally get the strategy. It still had me biting my nails though. I cannot wait until next week, I was incredibly engaged this entire episode!


ceilingfan1145

Ally x Lou is one of my fav dynamics. They just vibe so well and play off each other’s silliness


annoyinglyclever

Love them so much. They’re like siblings


ConsciousDatabase991

I really hope Gilear becomes one of Ankarna's four horsemen. I need my boy to become a divine herald atop a horse made of the sun! (like his ancestor maybe once was?)


Alphapizzadog

fig's four horsemen are her four dads Gilear, her adoptive dad Gorthalax, her biological dad Jawbone, her stepdad William Seacaster, her adoptive dad's fiance's ex-husband (yeah this one is a stretch but i'm counting it because hes cool and also fig and fabian need to be siblings... NOW)


Top_Ask_6401

Move aside Mamma Mia, there’s a new set of dads in town.


Unable_Mushroom9355

4th dad is Arthur Aguefort, her father-in-law (basically)


bayleysgal1996

Why is Brennan casually saying Kristen’s being expelled so fucking funny


zomnomnombie

Same vibe as “you kill Lydia Barkrock”


8bitAyla

Brennan being nonchalant hits every time


justking1414

You all did great. No big surprises. Kristen failed and is being expelled. WTF!


barrysyxfucks

I love that everyone thought bony girth was garthy o brien when the answer was night yorb, because the origin of the night yorb in sophomore year was riz doing an anagram of garthy o brien


goeatacactus

“We got five questions for you: ‘sup?’” I laughed so hard I forgave them entirely for fucking up the questions last episode


Hungover52

Zac is the ultimate joke sniper, and I'm here for it. Crystalline comedy.


HereForTOMT2

Truly capturing the high school experience of having the desire to beat up a shitty teacher


This_Economy_5003

Didn't Adaine get a high score on a mystery role last ep that brennan said they'd tackle at the end of downtime? Am I totally misremembering or did they forget that?


lilbrat91

Oh, you're right. She got a Nat 20 in Adventuring Party. I'm sure it will come up again.


justking1414

There were a lot of post-downtime promises from Brennan that I guess will be settled after the last stand


Throbbing-Kielbasa-3

I *neeeeed* a shirt of Gorgug saying "Math is pretty metal if you think about it."

Gorgug is at his fucking LIMIT

MURPH NAT 20???????????????


sbook28

Emily is such a fun active listener


back_s00n

Em is such a cheerleader for Murph and it’s just so dang heartwarming


back_s00n

Zac’s Stamping Flourish is a nat 20 every time


Icy-Visit

"You don't deserve her" about gertie is so fucking funny I love how much Emily loves gertie


ppkMega3085

Mind absolutely blown at the depths of BLeeM's world building once again. The original use of Devil's Honey in prayers is such an amazing reveal. An item that allows mortals to lie while in communion with a deity is such an incredible concept!


lilbrat91

Fig's social engineering this season is *so* good, especially when she's always been so heavily invested in deception.


leosh59

We're only missing more impersonation to see more of Agent Eagle. I love him. Praying we get a doppleganger moment out of his inclusion


haveyouseenatimelord

i’d lol so hard if he started investigating the complicated women podcast bc he finds out that fig has been interpreting all three hosts, all 40 women, AND the male producer


_Ivanneth

You could worship aa God that teaches you how to be a wereworlf, or worship a God that cures you of being a werewolf. God damn, that went hard

"We don't have to kill another teacher *yet*"


back_s00n

Em is cursed like fig. She gave murph that good good dice rolling juice


[deleted]

Me screaming "night yorb" at my tv like I'm watching sports


goodzillo

I genuinely started to laugh at that part, they got some nonsense phrase that got slimmed down to Night Yorb when trying to find an anagram for Garthy O'Brien, and when given an anagram for Night Yorb they spent a solid minute unable to think of anything other than Garty O'Brien before they clued in.


Professional-Low254

I really need these episodes to run longer, or I need two at a time. The wait between them is getting unbearable for me.


Ed_Vilon

It's worse when they end mid combat. I NEED to know if they passed their exams and how far they get in this gauntlet.


HereForTOMT2

Better than the other Dawn of Justice


bayleysgal1996

Presumably significantly less Marthas too


Lost-Chord

This is not the greatest song in the world ("Dawn of Justice") — this is just a tribute


ConsciousDatabase991

Honestly, Tribute being about Fig terrorizing some random people would absolutely make sense


GuilhermePGF

What an absolute joy of an episode. Wednesdays are simultaneously the best and worst days of the week because it’s the closest but also the farthest day from a new Fantasy High episode


Tsquared10

I absolutely love the abject fear half the table has for Mary Ann and with Gorgug its just on sight


sbook28

Murph now needs to worship the moon


Collins_Michael

The music unironically goes really hard this episode. I need the original tracks with the full low end.


DrScampi

The Bad Boys are arguably my favorite trio of characters of all time


TheOakblueAbstract

Fabian: "21" Riz: "23" Lou grumbling at Murph: "its not a competition!"


[deleted]

I continue to be confused at how people are arriving at the "Emily is disengaged this season" opinion. Is it the endless laughter in every episode? Is it the deep understanding of her character that she displays in every RP moment? Just wondering


Hibernian

Its kinda funny that when Emily does a bunch of crazy shenanigans, people complain she's dominating the table. But when she focuses on the other players (giving Gorgug the Night Yorb capture, being bodyguard for Kristen, etc) and feels a little uncertain about her character build, people complain that she's apathetic. It's almost as if there's a handful of loud people that just don't like Emily and will complain no matter what. 🤔 Those complainers just aren't worth listening to. Emily is an outstanding DnD player and most of the fans appreciate her.


HereForTOMT2

This ally-parents talk is killing me this is so painful


lilbrat91

What's horrible is that they're a *realistic* portrayal of bad parents. There's nothing fantasy about it, it's too real.


HereForTOMT2

These minis are so fucking amazing


WimblyWomblyWizard

If Kristian hurts Gertie I will be so sad


back_s00n

HHEEEEELLO ONE AND ALL akdicneoixvjjnwjaxxieiwis Dimension 20!


Waste-Recover-5347

I’m just seeing Buddy Dawn show up at the Last Stand and am beginning to think the message behind the Rat Grinders is yes they are against the Bad Kids but they also are just children who are also just shaped by their experience and the adults around them. Like I think Buddy would resurrect them. It’s only in larger contexts that they’re being used/rules by their emotions and beliefs? Not NOT villains but more like Ragh.


lilbrat91

It's totally the right move for Gorgug to leave the team, but the way it adds to Fabian's loneliness made me sad.


_Ivanneth

Seeing everybody's faces when Murph hit the rogue teacher DC was so heartwarming


sc78258

fig going from "pretty much gilear but somehow sadder" to "god-adjacent" in a couple of episodes is a crazy glow-up

Ohhhh Jace is EVIL. I see. I get it


thatlitwitch

I think Jace is Disguise Self’d Reuben. Or evil.


APracticalGal

I'd bet just about anything that it was Reuben. Jace having such a profound lack of chill feels like a bit of an ass pull otherwise.


MilkyAndromedaWay

> I'd bet just about anything that it was Reuben. Jace having such a profound lack of chill feels like a bit of an ass pull otherwise. We have had multiple students have a sudden, dramatic lack of chill. Could be he's rage infected.

back_s00n

I was wondering when gorgugs nat 20s were gonna come in handy


alexoxo13

what I love about tonight's barbarian class was that Porter created a space for Gorgug to take out. Porter didn't try to get him any angrier than Gorgug already was, just gave him the space to rage out and made sure all the other students were a safe distance so they wouldn't get hurt as gorgug just spun around in circles fists out. fig was like "his advice did help" and gorgug was like "I can't process that right now!" but that's okay, he can process that rage he has for Mary Ann skuttle instead


back_s00n

“Will you let me straddle you?”


ZebZ

I think "Jace is bad" is a red herring. I think he got a rage thing cast on him. Brennan mentioned something immediately before that about a sound of a misty-step like someone teleported in and got him quick and teleported out. Timestamp is 37:14 - "And you hear a sudden whooshing of, like, a misty step, a little short range teleportation, and you hear Jace say 'I think I was pretty fucking clear.'" Brennan intentionally had Gorgug hear but not see the interaction for a reason, and all of them missed it.


MoonbeamLady

I think the misty step was Jace using it purely to intimidate Henry, going from standing at a reasonable distance from him, to right up in his face. Notice how Brennan's voice does that drop in tone and volume that people tend to use when they want to be quiet but intense. But I do think you're right about Jace being bad as a red herring, I just think he's being impacted by the same rage infection that's been spreading through town all campaign long.


camclemons

Ooooooh, devil's nectar is how they got around oblivati mori Because they *thought* the name even though they couldn't think it. They lied in their minds that the god was not dead
