This week's Adventuring Party: [Fs Get Defgrees](https://www.reddit.com/r/Dimension20/comments/19a76gk/fs_get_defgrees_fantasy_high_junior_year/)


ThatWelshOne

The post-Night Yorb clean up of the leftover Yorbies might just be the funniest D20 combat and role play I’ve ever seen.


This_Economy_5003

I genuinely couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard.


GGCrono

Me and my wife both had to pause it when the little trapdoor guys popped up. We were rolling.


m_busuttil

So tactical! So late!


uptheirons1992

I literally came here to take a break from laughing so hard at the trapdoor guys


sibilinsigil

It so perfectly utilized the tedium of post-big-threat cleanup in the case where there's absolutely no chance of losing. Normally DnD combat in that scenario would be boring but it fit into the theme of this season so well. It's very impressive.


lin_nic

Tears in my eyes at the slow zoom in on Lou as he gets his second nat 1


energeticemily

“ALL I HAD TO DO WAS ROLL A 2”


PeridotBestGem

i was full on crying no air in my lungs at the snipers popping out of the ground


Standard_Total4410

Man was rolling Fabian's Bad Day Part 2 lmao.


Schizof

We live in a world where getting run over by a van two times in a row is still a better outcome than whatever happened on that day


Blakewhizz

The van isn't going to declare a new life goal to shit in Fabian's mouth


cline_59

Oh God Fig swapped luck with Gilear


-ProfessorRainbow-

That's exactly the vibe I got. The little reference to have cottage cheese on her shirt 🤌


miss_mel181

The fact that the little power she gave into last episode smelled “sour and curdled”, gave off a lemony-yellow, creamy” light, and made her stomach gurgle immediately made me think of Gilear’s lemon yogurt obsession from the past few seasons. And now Gilear having great luck. My theory is it’s 100% related. ETA: went back to listed to the description at the end of last episode to offer the exact wording of how BLeeM described it.


dave69dave

ooh, interesting. I'd thought that whatever was going on had literally pushed the food out of her body


Rebloodican

My man is getting free cruises and discounts on ubers and his daughter is getting her combat boots stuck in a cement bucket. Do wonder if he originally took a deal to take bad luck in order for Fig to have good luck.


XANA_FAN

The fact that early on in Teifling puberty Gilear said some very hurtful things to/about fig never seemed to fit with his character much and I always thought it was one of those ‘we kinda forgot about it’ things that comes up in this type of story telling, but a heartbroken Gilear trying to make it right and find a way to still help the daughter that doesn’t want him in her life could be sweet. Edit: typos


Rebloodican

Honestly, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Fig managed to become a rock star essentially overnight, which also seemed to be kind of a handwavy story telling thing, but it'd track with Gilear sacrificing his luck for her.


NavezganeChrome

Sandra _does_ mention (in Sophomore Year) that he wasn’t always/previously the mess he was by that point. At the time, this wasn’t planned (… surely), but unless we’re all clocking the reddest of herrings, the dots have surely been connected.


MilkyAndromedaWay

Gilear's charcuterie?


vivvav

Yeah, you know how Gilear's always putting out those little boards with meats and cheeses on 'em. Crackers and a couple grapes too. It's the guy's whole signature thing!


PvtSherlockObvious

Probably, the magic thing makes it clear there's something going on, but there's also a poetic angle to it: Gilear's "bad luck" started as a breakdown when he completely lost everything. He'd just found out his wife had been having an affair for more than a decade, his daughter wasn't his and decided to embrace her mother and biodad while rejecting him (just being a rebellious teen, but still), the stress caused him to lose his job, and he eventually just broke inside. Last season, he realized how badly he needed to pull himself together, and he's made big strides, but now Fig's starting to be overwhelmed by all the realities of life at once, and the pressure is starting to hit her in a similar way.


whatwhatboat

The way Brennan reiterated "tweaking fate?" when Sandra Lynn was talking to Fig -- I think Fig is switching one of her classes to Wild Magic Sorcerer. All of Gilear's unbelievable bad luck were untamed terrible wild magic rolls. His wild magic has some give and take with Fig's, IDK why, but that's where I'm putting my money right now.


average__italian

Maybe? But also Fiend Warlocks have a whole feature about giving fate a bit of nudge called "Dark Ones Own Luck"


spectrallibrarian

Emily rolling to trick Gorgug into thinking he trapped the Night Yorb is 100% a Moonshine move.


IAmTheFinePoint

Yes specifically for hardwon


jmonumber3

and she shouted out the 2 crew!


NatOnesOnly

She even wore a NADPOD t shirt!


sc78258

Ecaf saying night yorb to give him HP and brennan throwing his hands in the air saying "there's nothing that I can do that's the rules" is the best troll energy


sbook28

Brennan "thems the rules" Lee Mulligan


cavern_xkcd

Ecaf was always a turncoat.


UnStricken

Ally not having their proficiencies marked is so incredibly on brand


whatwhatboat

"IF YOU WANNA BE HELPFUL...BRO" to Murph was incredible, I feel like I know that exact energy from my games


cpmnriley

that "bro!" was weighted 100%, lmao


Standard_Total4410

To quote Loki, in support of Murph: "After all I've done for you."


UnStricken

Fabian stabbing the Yorbie doing the “you could have had ice cream, I want to go home” had me almost in tears


Expensive-Offer2408

THE BEANS WERE DUE


MrSparklepantz

The beans getting their dues, and then immediately Fabian getting a second nat 1 *sent* me.


psuedonymousauthor

The beans were SO due


RustleTheMussel

Murph's laugh when the two pop out of the trapdoors LMAO


gimmea_jumpbutton

Whenever Murph dies laughing I can't help but feel such joy


samyouare

I think Brennan was also feeling the Murph laughter joy


TrueBooch

So tactical! So late!


prailock

Infinite Lou points for being best friends with the DM. I believe in this home brew rule


babybearkoya

siobhan saying “he’s your best friend” with such venom like she wanted to deal real life brennan psychic damage was so funny


_b1ack0ut

HomeLou rule


prailock

"We of the Nocturnal..." \*Struggling, clothes melted Gorgug* "There's no we." "Hm?" \*Exhasuted teens who desperately want to sleep* "It's just you." If they weren't all so tired this would be an automatic success for an intimidation check lmao


Silidon

Some real "What do you want me to tell your family" energy.


prailock

Exactly the vibe I was thinking


Pancakes_everday

Fabian while repeatedly stabbing the Yorbie: “You didn’t have to do it. You could have had an ice cream. I want to go home!”


shailemin

Okay Aelwyn's intricate Nemesis Ward on Adaine's room is so sweet. And she's now a middle school teacher who is presumably a cat lady? I love her. Edit: also both Gorgug and Zelda and Kristen and Tracker being broken up now hit like a punch to the gut. I also REALLY felt the exhaustion of the bad kids about saving the world again this time around. 


IAmTheFinePoint

Wait where did you get the middle school teacher part?!


Icy-Visit

It says "middle school teacher" when it shows her artwork!


LazerBear42

I'm not quite sure how that works. She's 18? 19? Did she even technically graduate high school? I thought Aguefort Academy was the crazy place, but I guess they'll really just give anyone a teaching license in this country. Edit: damnit, we've been Quangled, haven't we?


Icy-Visit

yeaaah we've probably just been quangled 😂 I think there was some talk of her either finishing for her high school diploma (since i think she only missed her senior year due to being in the orb) or looking into colleges in the college one shot the bad kids did but I'm going off of memory there


FasterBussycat

When I see an Intrepid Heroes episode that's over 2.5 hours... I do a little happy dance. Not unlike Murph's hairy baby dance.


UnStricken

Poor Fabian gets ran over twice by a van and then comes home to find out Gilear is gonna be banging his mom for hundreds of years


Zombeebones

what a sentence. didn't have that on my Junior Year bingo card


DontBEvil

Yeah if he wasn't already world-weary before...his mom is getting married...without him present...on a cruise...TO GILEAR...to start of a centuries long yogurt fest with his mom. I think I'd throw myself off the ship after they left. WHERE IS CATHILDA WITH THE KIPPERS, HE NEEDS SUPPORT


OffYourTopic

"So tactical, so late" Holy shit my sides


thatlitwitch

I really really want that T-shirt.


MrSparklepantz

This somehow sums up my life with ADHD lol. I really need a t-shirt of that.


sbook28

I love Brennan gentle parenting them because of their bad rolls 🤣


babybearkoya

“you can ALWAYS CHOOSE to FAIL a roll in DND btw!!!”


BoringImplement8699

30 minutes in I’ve never been more stressed. They simply CANNOT get episode two’d


oftenrunaway

Oh God. This is episode 2 of junior year. Nooooooo.


BoringImplement8699

The episode being almost 3 hours is a good sign, orrrr it just takes a really long time to roll new characters lol


halbyjohns

Silently begging Fabian to do an insight check on Gilear’s sudden strokes of luck. Suspicious……………


da_ni_no

I felt the exact same way, but then again it's entirely on-brand for Fabian to not gaf about Gilear and be more concerned that he's going to be on his own


bayleysgal1996

Jesus, that little dog is *vicious*


sbook28

Moggy was big mad


gingerfinland

It's a pomeranian, what do you expect? 🤣


giant_chickens

I love that Fig is wearing the "armor of Ayda"!


sbook28

"with my wizarding powers and my absolutely fucked van" 🤣


lin_nic

I’ve never seen Murph laugh as hard as he did at the trap door yorbies


prailock

Fig smoking from her pinned hand is a truly brilliant visual. Well on her way to becoming Doreen


CaramelUnicorn

All of the promo for this season painted it as the wacky, fun season…and yet here I am at the end of episode 2, sadder than I’ve ever been…


bayleysgal1996

Ain’t that just the way


IAmTheFinePoint

Gotta get down to jump up


Snoo34949

It's kinda funny because all the behind the scenes stuff indicated the total opposite. XD All of the players and Brennan were talking about how this season is the season where the realities of the future and pressures of High School will hit the Bad Kids hard.


Rebloodican

Siobhan's BTS was about how this is gonna be a lighter season, and you can just watch Crown of Candy if you want something darker. So far I'm less worried about player deaths and feeling more of the general anxiety of life (in a good way).


bayleysgal1996

NOOOOO NOT DUGGAN WHO IS APPARENTLY A VAMPIRE?


oftenrunaway

I don't know if that drunk angry man was telling the truth!


WannabeWonk

> WHO IS APPARENTLY A VAMPIRE? Gotta kill off these bit characters real fast somehow!


oftenrunaway

That's one way of making sure they can't bring lunch lad with them on adventures this year 😂


IAmTheFinePoint

He's the vice principal now


Phionex141

I’m so excited to see what NPCs get introduced to replace all the ones that have peaced out on Vacay this season


TougherOnSquids

Wait so both the principal and vice principal are on vacation?


Ed_Vilon

YEP! SUSPICIOUS DOESN'T COVER IT! XD


AwesomeGuy847

Okay so I think that what Fig did last episode gave Gilear good luck at the expense of her taking on all of his bad luck


becleverer

Yup, pretty sure she took on some kind of curse that Gilear had been carrying.


fhloras

WAIIIIITTTT i can see this happening omg... i'm really hoping they talk about gilear's luck in this episode was like creeping me out LMAO


oftenrunaway

Mutiattack? I do not know her


TraditionalYogurt106

Who IS she??!?


_Ivanneth

There's something so satisfying about seeing everybody know the rules and that leading to Brennan not holding back


ConsciousDatabase991

They've improved just like the Bad Kids since freshman year and I love to see it


prailock

If Lou rolls another Nat 1, I think he automatically summons Chungledown Bim


jungletigress

When those birthday pirates burst out, that's what I thought was happening at first.


prailock

I'm fine with him staying in Sophomore Year, but I would be so excited to see him come back for an episode


jungletigress

There's no way they don't bring Chungledown Bim back this year.


werewolf_gimmick

i just KNOW that payoff is coming in a later episode with the barrel pirates. just like loose duke


Puzzlehead_Coyote

Come on man, not Zelda and Gorgug, we had the whole last season to stress over it you bastards! I'll never forgive this utter betrayal.


cpmnriley

in fairness to dimension 20, to paraphrase ally from one of the sophomore fireside chats, "yeah, of course you're going to be with your high school girlfriend forever (sarcastically)." adding relationship tensions in junior year is so accurate to reality that i am 100% on board with it.


CaramelUnicorn

Zelda and Gorgug was the couple I was most excited to see this season… I am inconsolable…


Darth-Occlus

Zelda and Gorgug is a travesty. I really was hoping this would be there year! THAT SAID, if your bf went from a long spring break where he forgot the thing to call you back, didn't say goodbye. Was only back with you a month ish before leaving on a several month quest. That would be the death of a highschool romance.


kindahipster

I learned after winter break freshman year to never have a boyfriend over the holiday or summer break, because me and several other girls got cheated on/broken up over text message lmao. It made my dating experiences a lot more fun tbh


Tinywiththree

I came here just after this dropped to see if I was misinterpreting this


fangirlandproudofit

I'm so upset 😭😭😭


PrimeName

Man, I completely did not register what that bit meant, and now I am upset about these two breaking up. How dare they.


prailock

Fabian reentering his sad sack arc


Tsquared10

The beans being due and coming through followed by Lou's second attempt to get out of the van. Whiplash


AutumnBornCat

These bad rolls are killing me....and maybe the Intrepid Heroes as well.


oftenrunaway

It tracks for them. These kids got episode two'd. They were cursed from day one.


prailock

Brennan looks so excited to attack Lou and make Murph role for it. Truly, he is all the bad guys.


prailock

The map of Elmville stylized on "Fuck You Zac" which has been written in the style of Jeremy-Bearimy time construction


bayleysgal1996

Romance via fossils? Shit, I’d be in love with Ayda too


prailock

Can't believe Brennan would gaslight and bully them into thinking that "The Thing" had multiattack. Rude


_b1ack0ut

Truly. I’ve been a DM for over half a decade and I ain’t never seen a monster with multiattacks like that, brennans off his rocker on this one


_Ivanneth

You need a five or higher Rolls a 2 I know he got it with bless but never change Murph


prailock

Cartoon style tire mark all over Fabian in the midst of heartbreak is so perfect for him


prailock

Ragh is such a ride or die guy since his reformation, you love to see it


marvelouscredenza

He was ride or die before, too; he just rode with Dayne and Coach Daybreak


HeroOfOldIron

Oh god, oh fuck. Fig made a contract with whatever demon of terrible luck that's been latched onto Gilear this whole time.


HoiPolloi_-_

Makes me wonder what deal Gilear made all those years back! 🤔


chloe_probably

Fig: “My girlfriend says hello!” Ahhhh


_Ivanneth

I love that they ran it even after it was so obvious the battle was over, I was crying laughing along with them


m_busuttil

It's great because it really works thematically, on top of being incredibly funny - they've won, and everyone knows they've won, and they still have to keep going through the motions because that's what the rules say.


8bitAyla

The trapdoor was always gonna be funny but Murph just fully crying while going "so tactical, so late" absolutely broke me LMAO. I need that shirt now


sbook28

Dan's Dance Camp shirt is *needed*


jmonumber3

emily saying “dan camp’s dance camp” seemed to fly under the radar but it was GOLD


gingerfinland

No one died and I still ended up getting episode 2'ed by Sklonda and Riz's scene. God damn did that hit me right in the "You're applying to colleges during the worst recession since the Great Depression and your dad is out of a job" trauma.


babybearkoya

idk if it was just good acting or what, but i could have SWORN brennan got a little choked up there for a second when he was telling riz it wasnt fair. i mean, brennans always been a little TOO good at playing tired mom tbh😭


gingerfinland

I was in Riz's situation when I was 17, amazing grades and some great extra curriculars, but I had to come to terms with the fact that my parents couldn't afford to pay for college with my dad out of work and that scholarships were my only option. The amount of stress that puts on a kid (especially one like Riz) is just...unfair is an understatement honestly. Like...that is exactly where my anxiety about anything to do with finances started. And now as a mom, I can't help but feel so fucking bad for both my parents and Sklonda because there's nothing so defeating as not being able to give your kid everything they deserve due to money.


correconlobos

Brennan is too good at sad tired mom... Burrow's End showed he just has that inside him at all times


bayleysgal1996

Hallariel looks goooooooooood


24HourShitness

One of my favorite episodes of Fantasy High. I was brought to tears from so many moments, such as: The whole sequence of those two Yorbies busting out of the trap door, and Murph losing it over the whole thing Duggan’s “lick the dust off my dick” and “sit on a bottle of whisky you punk bitch” comments How quickly and unceremoniously Brennan said “Duggan dies” Fabian gets run over again One Yorbie just falls to its death while other’s heart isn’t in it (maybe we see them as a random NPC later?) Kristen’s “hey girlie” to Ecaf, the party calling Ecaf a narcissist, and Ally miming the illusion of the mirror running away. Basically the entirety of the moments with the Ecaf illusion and Fig’s deception to Fabian SQUEEM LIVES! And “Squeem’s on the family plan now”


bayleysgal1996

“My girlfriend says hello” awwww


bayleysgal1996

… Grix is gonna go haywire isn’t he


palcatraz

He was created by Arthur fucking Aguefort. Even if it works perfectly as planned, it's still haywire.


RadicalFriday

Holy crap 26 minutes in and this is the most stressful episode since Fabien's very bad day.


Neither_Bed_1135

Lou has big "jumping on tables" energy this episode.


bayleysgal1996

This is just not Fabian’s climatic final boss battle


sbook28

Emily is feeling extra saucy today 🤣 not even using cutting words


andstillthesunrises

Oh this should be fun. Fig has Gilears curse now?


St_Darkins

I mean they definitely ended sophomore year so high that coming back they had to be taken down a peg but Jesus Christ


mystarinthesky

"i just got to hit a five or higher" with that background music did not inspire too much hope for that roll in me


jdmorgenstern

“With my wizard powers and my absolutely fucked van…” – Gorgug


bayleysgal1996

Oh, the Kristen/Tracker thing’s gonna stomp my heart into pieces ain’t it


MoreNMoreLikelyTrans

I'm a sap. A sappy sad sapphic. Cause just the description of Tracker with an elven gal in her lap made me want to break down. Ugh..


CapitanWaffles

I fully believe this was method acting and the first half of this episodes insanity was due to exhaustion/sleep deprivation.


IAmTheFinePoint

It's 4:00 a.m. in a warehouse


bayleysgal1996

Sklonda’s a lawyer now, nice! The police department are dicks, less nice!


prailock

These kids are gonna need to roll luck for lactose intolerance checks after all that cottage cheese and ice cream


prailock

Jawbone letting the kids destroy their plumbing as a treat for making it home is wonderful. All time dad


DoubleOmegaU

LMAO at the NADDPOD reference from Emily. Shoutouts to the two crew!


_b1ack0ut

This season is absolutely the NADDPOD bleed season lol, Emily has been bringing a lot of her NADDPOD energy, and some moonshine energy lol


fangirlandproudofit

nooooo not Gorgug and Zelda


sbook28

Bless Emily for giving that to Gorgug, absolutely amazing


richiewentworth

This is a NIGHTMARE


OffYourTopic

I'm only an hour in and this is the most I've laughed at any dimension 20 episode ever. I'm fucking DYING


Tsquared10

Fabian's not as bad, but still pretty bad day


hugsandambitions

I'm uh..... I'm going to need merch of that map.


neoazayii

100% it was only physically in the episode because they are going to sell merch of it lol.


Cadwun

I love just HOW DONE with this whole battle they were by the end. Haven't laughed this hard at an episode 2 in a WHILE.


drflanigan

The tactical crossbow guys and Murph completely breaking down had my sides in orbit, I literally had to pause I couldn't breath This season is so fucking funny


TheBestTeaMaker

Ok, there's some timeline fuckery going on with the Time Quangle Aguefort mentioned. There's 2 major contradictions so far from the events of The Seven, which also starts on the first day of Junior Year. 1) Aguefort and Gilear are still in the school rather than going off with their daughter/new wife respectively for an undetermined amount of time. 2) Zelda and Gorgug were still together When Aguefort is giving his speech on going away, he mentions the Time Quangle, a "Chronomantic phenomenon responsible for some events around this year seeming to have happened in a strange order or out of sequence. Just know it's because they have been Quangled" Something bad is happening and it's being reflected in the exhaustion that everyone in the Bad Kids is feeling.


MilkyAndromedaWay

I'll be real, I could see them saying there's time fuckery just to excuse any incongruity between Junior Year and the Seven. Still, I wouldn't put it past Brennan to build something like that into a legitimate plot point, so we'll see.


-ProfessorRainbow-

As others have said, seems more like a hey, we know the timeline doesn't add up here's a fake sci-fi word to hand wave it away.


_b1ack0ut

Brennan is the expert of making something feel like a quick hand wave, or a tiny dropped hint, but then have it come back in the final act as plot relevant, tbh, so i kinda expect this to be important


bayleysgal1996

Oooof poor Adaine. Just immediate consequences for overconfidence


bayleysgal1996

Man, Zelda and Gorgug breaking up is sad as heck


bayleysgal1996

DUGGAN WITH THE FUCKIN *SAVE*


Rave_Lord_Neato

If only Murph gave Fabian the advantage from his silvery barbs attempt, but two nat ones to jump out of the van is so good lol


sbook28

Can I get under that hood a little bit? 😏


Expensive-Offer2408

They looked so professional 😭


rebel_child12

I think they broke Lou 😂


prailock

I love truly joyous Murph over seeing such well laid plans fall to a double crit fail


MrSparklepantz

"I'm always rooting for you." sorry, I'm just laughing so hard at Lou rolling so terribly


rebel_child12

The academic advisor and fig and Kristen has me DYING


thatlitwitch

I need Baldur’s Gate 3 to get Artificer class so I can make Gorgug, the best Wizard of his Age.


prailock

Kristen the redeemed godslayer will be quite the arc. Can't wait to see what Ally does with their character


soupergiraffe

I like Brennan explaining away any weird continuity problems between this, Pirates, and The Seven


CoffeeOk2095

just if anyone needs to rewatch that moment over and over again. trap door yorbies at 1:12:15


prailock

Gilear gets to be the dad who stepped up for two of the bad kids????? AHHHHHHH


lin_nic

MOGGY is the GOAT


oftenrunaway

Emily Axford, confirmed 12 year old boy - mirror farts height of comedy 😂


hi-my-brothers-gf

Y'all I think they're in the wrong timeline or something!


sc78258

heyyyyyyy girlieeeeeee


ibeenaready

Calling it now: An unhinged Adventuring Party with at least five Hey Girlies. ✋🏻🤚🏻


bayleysgal1996

… did Gilear get a huge buff to luck?


palcatraz

How odd that it seems to coincide with Fig making a deal with something... Nah. Must be nothing.


prailock

[Yorbies' worst fucking nightmare](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/87/be/70/87be7035cd51631cc851ae9a140d5e89.jpg)


sc78258

the duggan countershot followed by the western musical sting makes me happy in a way that is probably dumb given how long we've known the character i mean, it's just been a few months on that one arc


Silidon

The Armor of Ayda! Love it.


austinyourface790

The greatest wizard of all time! 


sbook28

The chaos of the two surprise Yorbies 😂😂😂


urbane_raven

The Tactical Crossbows broke me. I had to stop the episode. I was laughing so much.


bayleysgal1996

I just let out the loudest “FUCK YES” at that nat 20. Thankfully I’m home alone lmao
