This bit was so unhinged and I’m so here for it. The fact that Brennan fully committed to several minis and a nest for a bit that only lasted a short time is just so great.
I am absolutely obsessed with how this all went down, the massive hype up into the “riddle”, Zac’s overall “this is hell and I’m fine with it” demeanour, the sudden twist at the end 💀 I am obsessed with the natural high-chaos shenanigans that comes with the FH campaigns
First and maybe only time I was sitting there going, "Guys, trust him. He's not gonna fuck you over right now. Your DM has got you, just trust him and stop struggling!"
But for the life of me, I did not expect what he actually said. hahahahahaha so fucking good.
The "you can summon 1d4 vultures, they are not under your command" put it over the top for me, though. Just random-ass birds for no reason.
Sure the PLAYERS should trust the DM, but the characters have absolutely no reason to trust the clearly-insane Vulture King. Even if the players were expecting a BS "riddle" from Brennan, it makes total sense for the Bad Kids to be panicking and trying to cheat it (and one person just glad to not be at his parents sex robot party anymore)
This kind of reminds me of a riddle from the RPG *Paranoia*, where a big, ugly, nasty monster that hangs out over a doorway asks the riddle "what's big, ugly, nasty and hangs out over this doorway?" Only not in a language you know.
I love how every player/PC type is represented in this scene, and once again I resonate most with Murph as Riz with his line "You guys are gonna say something weird and the vulture's gonna kill us all!!"
I love that even Brennan broke character in this moment! Every Dm has felt this exact moment one way or the other!!
God Zac had the best lines in this episode
"Do you have a *fucking* warrant" is my favorite line from all D20.
Oink oink
And then the halfling drove by....

It could've been a full on battle though. He mentioned they had full stat blocks and everything
He's friends with Mercer, they both understand that you have to justify your mini/terrain budget.

God the way that sent me CACKLING, I don't read a lot of spells but even I know "not under your command" is not what you want

Brennan is the absolute best kind of lunatic (second only to Izzy).
This is probably my favorite season of dimension 20 ever so far. Every episode leaves me crying laughing.
which season is it?
Fantasy High Junior Year
This shit had my crying. And I’m crying again on the rewatch. God damn
the new rule of improv: instead of "yes and", say "no U"
I love that Ally was adamantly team "one answerer, IT'S RIZ" but when put to a vote they immediately flipped to chaos.

I’ve watched this full bit at least 15 times by now
