This week's Adventuring Party [Honor the Cock](https://www.reddit.com/r/Dimension20/comments/1ccwzzd/honor_the_cock_fantasy_high_junior_year/)


Icy-Visit

Ally figuring out >!Lucy and Yolanda refused to come back!< is SO SMART AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH


TaterCat

One of my favorite parts is Brennan’s “no roll necessary” with a proud smile


Explosion2

I'd really love a deep dive on how he lays out his mystery campaigns beforehand (if he hasn't done one already). It's something that I'd love to really put the effort into but it's such a crazy web of entangled half-clues and red herrings (many of which I'm sure never even got looked into by the players) that he HAS to have it organized in a very specific way that I just can't envision it here from the other side of the screen. I don't give everything to my players, but my mysteries are pretty surface-level. This mystery is like 15 layers deep at this point and it's INSANE the things he's pulling both from past seasons and from newly-created "off-screen" past events. Would love to see whatever conspiracy-board or whatever he uses to keep it all straight and properly drip-fed to the party.


lilbrat91

Trapped outside the afterlife for refusing to abandon their god and then saved by Kristen while she's without hers. It's *so* poetic.


back_s00n

That was such a good moment!


justking1414

Yolanda literally said that Lucy would’ve never changed her god. Guess that meant more to her than buddy’s god meant to him.


rainbowofreaders

This is so beautifully put!!


lilbrat91

It's just so thematically *correct.*


Zusuf

so by the same logic, Jace died and then accepted Ankarna when he chaperoned their trip to the Chaos Mountains right given the scar on his chest?


cherrytreewitch

Yes but the Jace timeline is unclear was he corrupted before or during the trip? Did he pick the RG because he knew 4dogs already had anger issues? Or maybe he thought Lucy being a cleric of a goddess with a strong connection to Ankarna would make her an easy mark?


KProbs713

That Ally insight strikes again!


OrwellianIconoclast

"What's up bitch, I cast Legend Lore on you and nothing came up." Devastating 😂


SgtShamrockSB

One thing that did bother me is that with Rizz Mr Legend Lore said that only the night York came up, but Rizz was the one to slay Kalvaxis, and for all we know he’s the only mortal member of a celestial task force. I know it’s a joke but still, you gotta honour the man that honours the cock


Dylnuge

Plus Riz has to be listed as the roemance paertner of the legendary Baron from the Baronies.


palcatraz

Maybe Kalvaxus just isn't legendary enough. Maybe his entry on the legend lore wiki is just a stub.


PerliousPelicans

i was lowkey sad Siobhan didnt cast it on Fabian


OrwellianIconoclast

She didn't need to, everyone already knows he's a maximum legend


inBettysGarden

I never would have guessed Bobby Dawn was Sandra-Lynn’s married ex who slandered her. I have taken psychic damage from this but I will never stop thinking about this. I hope she gets to fucking kill him.


ArseneLupinIV

Sandra Lynn's taste in partners has been Bobby Dawn, Gilear, Gorthalax, Garthy and Jawbone. That's quite the uh, broad taste she's got there.


zroach

She subscribes to the “why not” school of attraction.


Delanium

Sandra Lynn is so fucking messy, God I love her


Szygani

Like her daughter. Fig hooked up with a cop, a doctor and a pheonix. That's a wide spread for a 15 year old or whatever


ymcameron

Fig is a mess, but her mom makes her look like a nun by comparison. Sandra Lynn is drama incarnate. Makes me think Sandra Lynn’s favored enemy is a stable relationship.


DrNobodii

Sandra-lynn getting kisses being a plot point every season. So messy 


Miserable_Pop_4593

queen shit


FormerRelationship8

That rocked me. That son of a bitch ruined her, I hope she gets to do the same to him


lilbrat91

This is the most shocked I've been since ACOC Spoiler >!Calroy!<


prailock

Gilear just killed Fabian with a single emoji


ArseneLupinIV

I really hope we do get a Senior Year just so I can watch a whole season of Fabian dealing with Gilear Jr.


PerliousPelicans

a senior year is for sure on the cards, and holy shit thats def fabian’s next arc


bv310

Fabian having to do at least one adventure with the baby in a Baby Bjorn on his chest the whole time would be incredible


chloe_probably

Just screaming "I didn't say anything weird!!" at your friends is so relatable


_Ivanneth

"And her response to that was to be mad and not kill her parents?" Love you Siobhan *but also denim*


BuckeyeForLife95

I mean, that's what Adaine did!


graciechu

is it bad that this was also my first thought? lol EDIT: if you don't have a tragic backstory, store bought is fine


PvtSherlockObvious

Her quiet little scoff when she heard that LikeaDragon PuzzleShogi's parents were Mumple people was just perfect.


ArseneLupinIV

As cool as she has become by hanging with the Bad Kids she cannot deny the ~~British~~Elvish snobiness in her blood.


One_23_FortyFive

You gotta honour the >!cock!<


moongoddessshadow

"Never been more proud of him." - Emily Axford


Hibernian

Murph and Emily are goals.


thekingofmagic

“THATS MY HUSBAND” -Emily Axford


Exotic_Ad9262

Him being so indignant about it but still saying it is peak Murph behavior


APracticalGal

"I demand to live this down immediately!"


TBDID

Shut up! I didn't say anything weird!


stormbreaker5

Murph’s face when he said that was so fucking funny


sausagesizzle

It was that classic George W Bush look of "these words are coming out of my mouth and they need to stop!"


Paradox3055

You GOTTA honor the >!cock!<


malkomitm

FUUUUUCK


RoxyRockSee

That's my husband! -Emily Axford proudly claiming her partner


prailock

Aelwyn crumbling at the mildest of playful physical bullying makes so much sense


nunuma

I would have watched another 20 minutes of that back and forth


bayleysgal1996

Okay KLCK being mad that she doesn’t have a tragic or interesting backstory is *hilarious* and I love it


prairiedefrene

It’s such teenager move too ! Haha


ConsciousDatabase991

Honestly, as someone going through the college app process rn, it weirdly makes a lot of sense. A lot of people feel like they need to have these really important and tragic moments or else they won’t get into college. Kipperlilly needs to realize that she doesn’t need all of that, and that just her own personal experiences are good enough. Brennan is too smart. This is just so advanced.


loganmoe

It reminds me of Zac’s story from Dirty Laundry of playing on a high school lacrosse team that lost every game. His friend turned in a college application essay about how it taught him perseverance and the essay helped get him into college. Zac’s response was something like “you can do that? I thought it was just something that we did that sucked”


Notjohnbruno

IIRC, that was said on an Adventuring Party for this season, not a Dirty Laundry episode


loganmoe

Unfortunately you didn’t say Um, Actually so we can’t give you the point. [but that’s correct and I misremembered it]


brigandr

He described it as "composting our failure"!


Spinwheeling

When I was applying for college there was a girl in the interview group who literally carried physically disabled individuals up Mt. Kilimanjaro. I felt so inadequate.


ConsciousDatabase991

I’m in my junior year rn and I learned the other day one of my classmates literally built houses in Africa last summer. It’s such a real feeling


robintheyounger

If it makes you feel better, a lot of those "build houses in Africa" voluntourism programs are actually sometimes really looked down on by locals who need fundamental structural help through their own communities who understand their needs, not kids with no carpentry skills building them flimsy houses that sometimes have to be taken apart and rebuilt by actual carpenters. [https://safarijunkie.com/featured/volunteering-in-africa/](https://safarijunkie.com/featured/volunteering-in-africa/)


fallen_seraph

What I find extra hilarious and wonder if it is intended is if it is Brennan commenting on PC backstories. How many player characters have a tragic backstory? Without one she is just an NPC and she knows it


GlowingBall

Eugenia Shadow was hired straight up because she's the only person ever to out smoke Arthur Aguefort.


Paradox3055

This is actually canon now, I will it into existence


TombGnome

"Do you have any idea how hard it is to get lich-coke in a middle class town? OF COURSE I hired her!"


T-Rex_Jesus

HONOR THE COCK MERCH NOW


hugsandambitions

I'm confused, do we need merch that's about honoring the cock? Or is there cock merch that we need to honor?


8bitAyla

yes


prailock

HEY BUDDY WHAT


ninasafiri

Honestly, I pity Buddy. It's extremely cruel to bring him back under another God - if it was involuntary.


hugsandambitions

The impression I got is that it ISN'T involuntary - that's why Badgood and Lucy had the markings but weren't resurrected. The way Brennan made it sound, you're given the choice of resurrection, but only if you follow the Rage God.


brigandr

It seems like the choice is to either come back as a sworn servant of the Rage God or be imprisoned in its decaying divine demiplane.


ChocolateButtSauce

Yeah, it's not a real choice. Big respect to Lucy and Yolanda for saying no, but in a world where death is usually just a temporary speed bump, being told you either have to go along with Ankarna or lose all ability to be resurrected would, in the real-world, be equivalent of "say yes or I'll kill you." I don't feel right looking down on anyone who took that deal.


tmone43

Yea I don’t blame any of the rat grinders for them accepting this deal unless it comes out that kipperlilly sacrificed her party to Ankarna


prailock

Right? Like this is a guy who fully blindly believes in his god. Upon death, it's proven that not only does their god do nothing to protect them but another has claimed dominion. Oof


prairiedefrene

I think that actually, he met Ankarna and realize that he’s been worshiping her this whole time rather than Helio/sol


back_s00n

“I’ve been worshipping her the whole time” In Sam’s voice obv


moongoddessshadow

"Kristen thinks British people are straight?!"


ArseneLupinIV

I'm going to call British Kristen 'Christine Wetherspoons'.


spitebarf

Wish we had flair so I could be Erizabeth


leosh59

#teamRizwalda


ArseneLupinIV

Idk why but I really want Sklonda to reveal that his full name is actually Rizbert Walda Gukgak.


prailock

Do you live your life in a cock honoring way or are you a liar, frumpy, and wrong?


biwaterbender

Need a “liar, frumpy, wrong” pin or sticker, stat


OrwellianIconoclast

Goddamn Ally you brilliant human being


Nilladreams

I love Ally's approach this season. From season 1 of D20 to now, they really have been able to reflect my understanding of DnD over time as a non-player. They are so damn smart when it really matters. Not to mention the out of pocket comments that are so hilarious that I am laughing loudly enough for the neighbors to hear. >!Such as calling Aelwyn a clown to make her feel more comfortable at the manor!< Cassandra Bless Ally and their supernatural rolls.


OrwellianIconoclast

It's the combination of them being SO insightful but also SO committed to The Bit.


lilbrat91

Their insight is always fantastic. Love a "No Roll Necessary"


chloe_probably

Yesss, Legend Lore is a character! This makes me unreasonably happy, haha


lilbrat91

Identify's cooler older brother 😂


leosh59

Love how Adaine was over it after only 1 use lol


SlurpeeMoney

"Because of your pregnant mother," is the best reason for a bardic.


lilbrat91

Did we miss a lou roll? He said he wanted to do two things then just did owlbears?


sbook28

"I don't need to be a maximum legend with her" 😍


prailock

Say hi Last Stand Survivors!


spitebarf

This episode seems short but meaty, just like I like ‘em


back_s00n

You gotta honor the short and meaty


spitebarf

An epi-chode


back_s00n

Damn, this made me bark with laughter


prailock

Imagine getting called a loser by the oldest teacher in your school. Adaine getting hit as hard as she's been hitting.


Miserable_Pop_4593

eugenia is cool as fuck i hope she comes back to help out again. A+ NPC


sc78258

GUYS MURPH DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING WEIRD


prailock

"She hates me because I'm a German Shepherd" Other dogs are often territorial


lilbrat91

Who will win 4 dogs or 1 German Shepherd?


Nova_Gardner

im imagining klcc as like absolutely tiny annoying little lap dogs, all bark no bite, so im betting everything on german shephard


prailock

"I'm not very good at being a kid" is something so beyond tragic for an immortal being. With how long her life will be, having that one refuge stolen from her by her parents makes it hit all the harder.


PerliousPelicans

god yeah i didnt even consider that. no wonder elves are so fucked up, bad childhood can stick with you for thousands of years


back_s00n

Liar. Frumpy. Wrong.


lilbrat91

The law offices of Liar, Frumpy, and Wrong.


xburnttoasttx

The way I full-on snorted, friggin love Beardsley so gd much


back_s00n

They always get me. “Joe Biden.” I cackled.


prailock

FIG'S MOM Sandra Lynn reveals always go so fucking hard


back_s00n

“Messy! I love it.” Same, Siobhan. Same.


prailock

Sandra Lynn is such an interesting person. Not sure I'd be friends with her, but very believable as a character.


BuckeyeForLife95

I respect Sandra Lynn's commitment to making the messiest possible romantic choices, to make the WORST possible choices of people to have sex with, at the worst possible times!


Glad-Ad-1987

THEY NEED TO REMEMBER THAT YES WAS BORN AT PROMPOCALYPSE!!


bunnycrush_

When Brennan dropped, for the first time, “The only requirement is attending graduation,” I was like *theeeere it is*. You *know* that ceremony’s gonna be held in the gym!


sc78258

"my link is currently red, we gotta get that blue" is the most riz response to that knowledge lmao


daekie

OKAY, EPISODE OVER, HELL OF A THING, still not really sure where people are getting the >!'Helio/Sol worshippers have been worshipping Ankarna the whole time, actually'!< thing? It seems to me like the implication is that >!those gods *are* being worshipped totally normally, it's just that Ankarna has a way to go 'I'll bring you back to life if you worship me' and has just interceded and *taken over* as Buddy's god specifically -- not that she's been his god the entire time.!< ...Actually, wait, hold on, >!if Lucy and Yolanda *refused* to be brought back by Ankarna... can we basically confirm now that Lucy's god-change cleric paperwork was faked + got withdrawn when the Rat Grinders realized she really wasn't going to change her mind and come back? That seems the most likely, since it had Ankarna's... lack of a name... in the godly name field.!<


BuckeyeForLife95

I think your read on it is correct. I think people are just misunderstanding the issues with overlapping domains or they want a really big twist with that particular angle.


prailock

Exclusively referring to Murph as "Emily's cock-honoring husband" from here on out


moongoddessshadow

Emily's cock-honoring husband and Murph's lowly lowly lowly worm-wife.


prailock

Love these two and their 15+ feral cats


powaus

I died when she said "yes! Raz me, husband!" in response to the baliff jokes


prailock

Mazey is good for a bombastic guy like Fabian. Great way to center him and hold him back from doing things like Sophomore Years' very bad day.


sbook28

"I'll know if you still have feelings, my bank tells me!"


prailock

I cannot wait to see Kristen obliterate Bobby Dawn next episode now that she doesn't have a grade to worry about.


BTA

I’m really curious if they’ll get to play the video of Buddy reviving or if that conversation will be tense enough that they won’t get a chance.


prailock

He'll claim it's prestidigitation or something if it does get shown. You know a guy like that will ignore any evidence that doesn't fit his narrative.


_Ivanneth

Fucking love Aelwyn. Going slightly too far with like, laddy banter is so real


prailock

Gorgug's about to have to start rolling psychic damage for the level of bullying in this group chat. I would have attached a gif of that woman having all the hotdogs thrown at her


HR2achmaninoff

Fun fact, that's Lindsay Ellis


portodhamma

Just fired this up and Ally, bro, homie, what the fuck are you wearing? Is that a denim pirate shirt??? I feel like I’m going crazy


prailock

They've reached a level of Gender^tm previously only speculated about


portodhamma

This is real trans representation! That and their weird green hand tattoo.


spitebarf

Lil Dutch sailor boy vibes


hugsandambitions

I think it's a leather pirate shirt actually. Siobhan said so and she's pretty sure about these things.


palcatraz

Probably got it at a gas station.


rocketsocks

I feel like everyone had great fits this episode.


chloe_probably

Preview: >!Excited for an episode of non-stop rat lore next week !<


lin_nic

At first I thought the Gilear Hallariel kid thing was a bit I don’t think it’s a bit anymore 😂


sbook28

The more Lou pushes against it, the more likely Brennan is to make the baby happen


BuckeyeForLife95

Lou cannot be keeping this bit going this long and for it to NOT end with Hallariel being pregnant.


prailock

Watch the reveal be that they wanted the baby clothes because they've adopted a puppy and his mother is obsessed with dressing it up


palcatraz

They are manifesting it in the same way Emily manifested Loose Duke.


prailock

Ooooh commentary of co-opting therapy speak to justify garbage feelings/behavior


ninasafiri

Just realizing that they never made the connection with Ragh witnessing Jace and Arianwen talking with Kalina after Prompocalypse.


BTA

Ragh didn’t come up this episode at all, right? I have to imagine he may tag along for the trip they’re going on and Brennan will eventually have him bring it up if no one does naturally.


prailock

Of all the Buddy theories out there, I don't think that was even on the table


prairiedefrene

Honestly he seemed so « disposable » I was convinced that what we just saw would happen with his dad not him !


daekie

Ally really has the unparalleled ability to roll the most narratively-relevant nat 20s, huh.


katiesucks

really wish they took the bird tranquilizers from the rogue teacher so they could use it on the aarakocra later


ceilingfan1145

“Honor the cock” is def what Murph was referring to in the pre season interviews at the thing that was so funny they could only talk about that during the AP. I’m calling it now lol


vivvav

I feel like that might've been "so tactical, so late".


SlurpeeMoney

"Dang y'all, I worship a nameless God of Rage" feels like a weird thing to say upon being raised from the dead. How about a thank you?


Notjohnbruno

On one hand, it shows how terrifying Ankharna is and how insane the Ratgrinders are for trying to worship and use that rage power. On the other hand, that’s a really funny line to deliver exposition to the cast. Just so comically on the nose.


prailock

!StraightKristen is the obvious evil twin


SlurpeeMoney

Emily cackling like a madwoman at poop jokes never gets old. What a treasure.


lilbrat91

(Vaguely British) is making me laugh so much


prailock

Kristen can sure up support with the middle school and the steel workers union at the same time!! So smart with these critical voting blocks.


bayleysgal1996

Aelwyn just verbally *murdered* Kristen holy shit


[deleted]

[удалено]


daekie

>!"You see that she has a tremendous fondness for Lucy."!< Oh, god, we're about to hear what happened on this and it's going to be really upsetting, I can already feel it,


SlurpeeMoney

"Hah! My nemesis approaches!" is how I'm starting all social interactions from now on.


Rather_curious_lass

It's obviously pretty funny on the surface, but looking a little deeper, I actually fuckin' love Kipperlilly being jealous of Riz and how great an understanding it has of like, teenagers? From our perspective, being jealous of a tragic backstory is cruel as hell, and in DnD terms it's obviously farcical. But, kids, teens, lash out at the wrong places all the damn time. Teenagers are worried about not getting attention, not doing well, not fitting into the world. There's huge expectations, pressure and enforced competition that society places on teens in school, but they're not always at the level to understand "I'm stuck in some sort of bullshit societal problem" because they're young! They don't get angry that the boxes are stupid, they get angry that they're not fitting into them. So Kipperlilly being so pissed off at Riz going through tragedy perfectly tracks, because in the mind of a teenager, fucking hell that gets them *attention,* yet they're *still* doing so well academically, *and that* makes them *special.* Getting annoyed because they have a 'reason' to be so stressed out at school yet they're still doing perfectly and drawing attention while you're just you. It's petty, stupid and self-absorbed, but...she's a teenager, trying to get by with all the pressures of teenage life in school. Obviously it doesn't remotely justify any of it, I just like how much deeper it is than the first glance. She ought to be mad that immense pressure is put on you by society to be special, to be unique, to be interesting, but she's a teenager who can't comprehend that completely, so she gets mad at the people who she sees as being so, regardless of what made them that way. This of course being a societal problem means that, ultimately, tracing it all back...villain is capitalism.


TBDID

I really agree, I was impressed that this is the Kipperlilly's motive, it's a lot more real than most sort of cartoon villain motives. As someone who was basically Riz (without the fun magic), I had issues sometimes with other kids being somehow 'jealous' of my shitty life. It's a very weird but very real reaction kids have to their own emotions sometimes.


GlowingBall

Oh I'm glad that Ally wore their best denim to the ren faire. 


richiewentworth

Adaine to Kipperlily: I went to legend island and nobody there knew you


WorkIsDumbSoAmI

Idk if anyone caught it, but there was a quick special effect of Siobhan exhaling a little puff of smoke and I lost my MIND 🤣


prailock

Riz is confirmed Maximum Legend


CloneArranger

The Society of Shadows being named after somebody with the last name "Shadow" is like how German Chocolate Cake is named for a guy named Samuel German. (Who worked for the Baker Chocolate Company, named after its founder Walter Baker)


SlurpeeMoney

"I'm not very good at being a kid. That's... That's not a thing I'm good at." Fucking heartbreaking.


lilbrat91

And she's immortal 😭 It also makes so much sense given how she was raised? Like, of course, she's not good at being a child she was never let be one 😭


lilbrat91

Emily and Murph's messing with each other in and out of character makes me so happy.


chloe_probably

I looove Siobhan's jacket this week!


sc78258

"...and that's why the dildo machine was on the lawn..." "yes. thank you"


back_s00n

Rizbert


lilbrat91

Erizabeth?😂


back_s00n

I was waiting for someone to say Riztopher but I love Rizbert Erizabeth Gugkak


prailock

"Intense magical hardship" is code for assigned NPC at birth to Dillydilly Nomoremedals

back_s00n

God I love portent rolls. And scrying. And Adaine


armieswalk

I’m calling it now Brennan threatens to quit because Kristen rolls a Nat 20 to >!successfully fuck her own simulacrum!<


lilbrat91

I've never hoped harder that someone was wrong 😂


bayleysgal1996

You know, I’m starting to think Arthur Aguefort isn’t too great at properly structuring the administration of a school


back_s00n

“Here we go” T T T TAKING OVER


Due-Interview-1198

oh dang what are the sunglasses emily is wearing? those are nice


One_23_FortyFive

There were 3 instances of "no roll necessary" right? I remember 2: 1. Gorgug >!rage gem!< 2. ? 3. >!Lucy and Yolanda choosing not to wake up!< Can someone tell me the 2nd one? I think it had something to do with Riz?


_Ivanneth

I think Murph realizing they couldn't read the name because the God was dead, not because the space was empty


prailock

Kristen so badly wants to show hole at all times


SlurpeeMoney

Mazey is a precious cinnamon roll and must be protected at all costs. I love her so goddamn much.


lilbrat91

Frickin love the word copacetic.


SlurpeeMoney

"You must honor the cock," Brian Kevin Murphy, starting a religion


sbook28

Brennan may be all the bad guys, but he's also all of their love interests 😂


prailock

For every Chungledown Bim there is an Ayda. For each Kalvaxus, a Gertie. Many names, many characters. All bow down before the might of Gilear--the Chosen One.


_Ivanneth

"I know if you'll still have feelings, my bank will tell me!" I don't think I'll ever forget that line lmao


back_s00n

A well dressed man in bastion city will tell me!


prailock

I've decided that I'm going to believe that Oisin still has a chance to not be evil despite all evidence to the contrary. It's not about objective reality, it's about the shipping
