#the bad kids

[halcyon-autumn]

The bad kids are insane this episode. It's crit city. It's tactical genius. They are blowing through the kinds of monsters that make most dnd parties shit themselves. They've come SO FAR from the scared kids who died to cream corn and I am LIVING for the sheer competency on display here. No one is doing it like the bad kids are doing it.

The Last Stand Exam

This file documents the questions administered to the adventuring party known as the Bad Kids during their Last Standard Exam, in their junior year at the Aguefort Adventuring Academy. This assessment was produced from a variety of class materials relevant to the curriculum of the Aguefort Adventuring Academy, as submitted to the principal Arthur Aguefort prior to the start of the school year. This list is accompanied by documentation of the creatures the party known as the Bad Kids was required to face as part of the exam.

The exam is graded out of 100 points; the scoring involves the students correctly answering the questions in the appropriate time interval as well as their heroic last stands. The students are expected to simultaneously fight off a horde of creatures and participate in the examination equally; each student in this party must answer two of the twelve questions.

Neither exam aids, nor outside interference are permitted during the examination period--this excludes clerical divine intervention, as appropriately performed by a member of the party in question. By standard, the proctor must be protected--death of the proctor results in a 30 point score reduction regardless of circumstance.

By Solisian School District Standards, this party reports excellent grades and a high level of competency with regard to independent adventuring.* They were allotted a grace period prior to exam initiation for preparatory spellcasting and review of the exam parameters. Based on prior academic achievement**, the students were allowed two chances to defer a question or utilize previous materials in their response. Questions where these materials were used will be marked with a **.

Adaine Abernant | Wizard

Considering the ultimate goal is to become adventurers, it makes the most sense that actual application of our skills would be most important.

”average adventuring party kills two clerics a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. Average adventuring party kills 0 clerics per year. Spiders Ratgrinders, who hangout in the far haven woods & kills a whopping two clerics a year, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

i love how brennan sticks to lore agreements in order to have silly little mechanics. like him letting fig make a persuasion check on the pentacorn because it was made for fig is so fun

“My… wonderful. absolutely reckless. unhinged. violent. wild. untameable. Bad. Kids” — the collective and simultaneous sob of hundreds of thousands of dropout subscribers quakes the earth — “Did we get that one? Great.”

Something about the bad kids getting back from the last stand in the middle of the night.

A few months ago they came home late at night after being away all summer fighting, barely surviving, they lost friends in that fight, they lost themselves a bit too. They came home exhausted, nervous about the year ahead, they just wanted some time off. Schools almost out, it’s almost summer again.

This time they come home, not a single one of them dropped in battle, they were masters of combat they were perfect students,

Someone who shouldn’t have still died, they are still exhausted, their nerves have turned to pure stress, they haven’t gotten any time off.

and once again they return home in the middle of the night.

Everything's changed and yet nothing has.

I saw someone propose that they should do an episode of um actually with the intrepid hero's where the statements are about their seasons, this feels like the closest we're gonna get. the immaculate conception babies, the hudal hellions, it's truly just 'do you remember the crazy stuff that happened?'

I have personal beef with arthur aguefort but 'my wonderful, absolutely reckless, unhinged, violent, wild, untameable Bad Kids' made me incredibly fucking emotional and I am choosing to believe it was him really believing in them.

watching the bad kids, who just did the impossible and came out of the last stand exam with virtually perfect score and not one death among them and being so unable to relax and celebrate is so...sad to me

like its completely understandable, obviously, considering they have a dead classmate 10 feet from them and have been burned by authority figures so, so, so many times at this point.

and then seeing how much they still care as well. plane shifting to bastion city just to get the proctor home, Kristen trying to bring buddy dawn back as hard as she can, etc. and I know a lot of this comes from A. not wanting to be blamed for the deaths B. needing to make sure they get the credit for the exam C. wanting to solve the mystery of what the fuck is happening

and instead of celebrating their win, they almost military march their proctor to where he's safe, take a bus back home and go back to their houses in the middle of the night, victorious but still feeling somehow like they've lost.

I know it's amazing how Gorgug got like seventeen crits in the new ep but we can't ignore when the purple worm was biting him and he rolled BOTH a nat 20 AND a nat 1

Thank god for advantage

really, really, REALLY, hoping that last clip of brennan at the end of the preview for next week was the bad kids succeeding in resurrecting lucy frostblade. she deserves to live again.
