Honestly I kind of love it. I love the shenanigans these players get up to, but sometimes it's also fun to have a scenario where it's like "Naw. The shenanigans won't save you." It helps that it was ultimately a big shenanigan on Brenan's part

@mattbriddell9246 It was hilarious the moment the people who voted for "simultaneously" for the lulz realized "Oh shit, those are some actually serious consequences. We are messed up and blew most of our spell slots on fighting sex-bots" and immediately started trying to haggle and backtrack when realizing Brennan wasn't going to let them game the riddle.

Not to mention the whole riddle just being like "Don't you think vultures are neat?" I love this maybe a god so much 🥲 Honorable mention to the joy in everyone's face when they say "Yay!"

@nathaniel201 4 ай бұрын

Much attention is rightfully being paid to how rigid the Vulture King/Brennan was about the rules of the riddle, allowing no shenanigans to derail the ultimate question, but remember that not only did the Intrepid Heroes vote to answer the riddle simultaneously, right before this clip starts the first question the Vulture King asks them is "Will you answer my riddle now or later?" All evidence points to him being a man (vulture?) of his word, which means it was fully within the players' capacity to have one person answer the riddle at a later time and they simply chose not to. Their fate was in their hands.

It was kind of necessary. Zac mentioned at the end of the episode before this one that he initially felt that Brennan had to bend the rules to save their battle - so showing that the Vulture Dimension existed all along and wasn't just a scramble to help them out was rewarding.
