I am SO proud of this cast and this episode. Truly one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy a little lore as a treat!!

the plot twist where Damien makes them believe they might have killed the prince in his wolf form while the others totally blamed bug for beating the shit out of the prince to reveal the prince was only "a stupid little plate" and it was DOLORES who might have killed him was freaking hilarious 😂😂

Damien, in his thickest French accent saying "you get all the credit for killing the pervert," is something I never new I needed

“This is very grim… a pervert has died” is going to be a great clip in the Smosh out of Context compilations

I hope Damien feels the love, appreciation and excitement we all feel for this project! It is an exciting new flagship of the Smosh Renaissance

The way Damien told Dolores' and Koda's backstories was so captivating! he's such a good storyteller

I really don’t know why but Shane’s line killed me “WE COULD HAVE 1,000 GOLD…OR 2😃😃😃”

2 things about the gangs decisions this episode are absolutely insane: 1) They didn’t ask to see what’s actually INSIDE the vault 2) They think they might have killed the prince, and yet they still signed a contract to help save him.

Everyone get ready for a huge lore dump. Especially Fernie and Bug they had the best secret at the end. Super important to the story going forward

The backstory of Dolores just flipped this whole campaign on its head… like it makes so much sense why she acts the way she does 😮 Damien you are killing it as a first time DM

"I have a hammer." "And I have a sickle." Well comrades, this is OUR campaign now

"Can we sleep on it?" "ON the GOLD?!" "On the DECISION, DELORES"

Not me actually getting emotional during Dolores and Koda’s lore. Then there’s Bug and Fernie just being the best comedic relief!!! Damien thanks for being the best DM EVERRR!!!

49:38 "we can't tell them that we bonded like this" after the intensity of Koda and Dolores' conversation is comedic brilliance 😂😂

I love the contrast with Koda and Delores’s moment and Fernie and Bug’s moment. It felt like an actual TV show

Damien saying "I'm scared" during Koda's backstory made me almost cry. He is SO talented

“This is very grim, a pervert has died” lowkey was a banger 😂

“do you like me?” “not *yet*!” damien’s dialogue kills me

I JUST BELLOWED WITH LAUGHTER AT “YOU KILLED THE PERVERT” and “STUPID LITTLE PLATE” 😂😭🤣

From lore and backstory to just comedic dialogoues, this episode is the best yet. Damien’s misdirect with the wolf got me laughing in the train. Fernie’s responses are just gold. Koda and Dolores’ backstories are heartbreaking. And I’m invested in Bug’s road to heroism. Thank you Smosh for bringing this series. ❤❤❤

I got literal chills during Chanse and Damiens' moment when Koda was battling in the arena. Oh. My. God.

the "we can still hear you" ongoing joke is my favorite thing ever

Damien and Amanda's scene was incredible! Really putting their acting talents on display!

When Damien just whispers to Chanse "I'm scared" I actually welled up with tears, that scene was so good.

Damien being 100% in character as Gaspard is phenomenal. I don't know how he does it, the other guys get to flesh out their characters as they play but he owns it every single time he takes a new role. It really speaks to his skill as a performer!

The scene about the wolf being the town pervert had me crying laughing hahahaha!

This episode REALLY elevated this series from something fun and campy to something truly special. Impeccable work by both Damien and the cast.

"You're not the only one who touched anything" the way he said it gave me Alice in Wonderland's cat vibes. I can't express how much I love this, all of this

I really hope this series can get enough support to get a season 2 cause I would love for Spencer keith and Noah to “guest star” for some of these adventures. I’d def say keep this main core of people though only cause it’s y’all special project

I started to tearing up over Dolores’s and Koda’s backstories. I really hope Dolores finds her family and Koda finds the person from the arena. I went from crying at those to laughing so hard at Bug and Fernie. Hilarious duo.

Holy shit. Koda and Delores’s backstorys are incredible and so sad. The story telling really makes it feel like your there 😭

I don’t know what’s funnier. Damien’s “A pervert has died.” line or Shayne’s delayed reaction to it. 😂

I love bug and fernie together they are the best duo in all of smosh

Adding the little mechanical actuation noises at 14:30 when Fernie is clapping for Bug is just so,, *chef's kiss*

Amanda and Chance killed it with the backstories. So great to explore more about the characters they’re portraying. And of course Shayne and Angela brought it home with the lighthearted comedy. Big shout out to Damien too.

I can't believe I just went from tearing up to Dolores and Koda's stories, to absolutely bursting with laughter at Fernie and Bug playing patty cake. Well freaking done, everyone!

Calling it now: The party is actually her kids reborn. Her grandkid is mini-Fernie.

we honestly need a back to back 3 hour special. sword af is addicting as heck.

the himbo energy shayne keeps bringing to his characters is so on brand

Damien's Mourosel voice gave me literal chills - he truly is an amazing voice actor. Also this was a fantastic episode, and I cannot wait for the ones to come!

"The sun is beaming through your moon window, its dual function" is such a great line

Chanse and Amanda did such an amazing job and their backstories were so heartbreakingly beautiful. Thank all of you for them ❤❤

The easter egg "as long as none of you are allergic to cats" for everyone who watched betrayal legacy was so awesome! Also the versatility in how both of the backstories were told was awesome.

Can we all just appreciate that even though this is Damiens first time being DM that he is killing it. The way he describes everything with the perfect amount of detail and comedy. Job well done

That "Game recognizes game" was so oddly placed in that context it completely took me out😂😂😂😂😂😂 Chanseeeeee😂😂😂😂😂😂

Angela’s blue eyeliner in honor of Bug is EVERYTHING! Slay

Guys... WHAT AN AMAZING EPISODE. I cried for both Dolores and Koda. Chanse's interpretation of a scared, young, misguided elf was sensational. I got goosebumps at 'Manda's change in voice as we see her desperation. Dai's an amazing story teller. Just.. Come and narrate my life, pls. Bug and Fernie - two cinnamon rolls I wanna snuggle between, ngl. Honestly, blown away. What a life. Love it.

Every time damien changes characters, I get chills. The voices, the personalities, the mannerisms, all so incredible. He is truly talented

Anyone else get chills during the Dolores and Koda backstories? 'Cause damn.

Bro I feel like we have entered peak Smosh era……the creative freedom that everyone is exhibiting is so great to see and is inspiring

I like how Damien runs this campaign. For one, it is RP heavy, which is my preferred campaign type, and it has well-thought-out lore and transformative changes on the stories that influenced it, which I really enjoy as a player (and a viewer). It makes a lot of sense, given the cast are professional sketch and improv actors, but in the same vein, it is easy to let RP get out of hand and waste a lot of time. Balancing your players' creativity with a fluid tempo that also gives the DM the time they need to give ample lore even when players don't know it is time to stop for exposition is not as simple as it sounds. An example is when the quest giver tries to tell them about the area's background as a preface to the quest, and the party tells him to go away while they talk about pretty trivial things. Damien entertained them, but he added minor quips that, even if they aren't aware of it consciously, help remind them that this is not a four-person game; it is a five-person game. DMs are often forgotten; in fact, even my DM often forgets to include himself when talking about how many people we have in a session, and for me, it is important that they include themselves because their enjoyment is no less important than ours. Sometimes, the players need to realize that the NPCs are how the DM gets to play and give them their turn. Damien didn't tell them to shut up and let him talk, but he did remind them that he is there and he has things to say. I also appreciate that he stops to ask his players what they want to do. It's subtle, but it helps keep things on track. It redirects the party's attention by letting the players know that this is a point where they need to make a decision. Without that cue, players have to guess what is expected of them in that situation. It is an excellent way to push a party (especially for new players) to progress without keeping them on rails. You'd be surprised how many DMs will wait for the party to pick up on the fact that they need to take action while their party either keeps talking about random things or waits in silence for the DM to do something.

49:10 This moment is even better when you remember that Fernie has to get on the ground to kneel down cause he's so tall and Bug is so smol hahaha

The levels of stupidity were over the top for this episode and I’m 100% here for it, along with the family bonding ❤

Such an incredible episode, Delores and Koda's backstories made my heart hurt and pattycake bit cracked me up right after. Damien is such an amazing DM and it's just his first campaign.

The way Shayne got a blanket during the backstories was literally so adorable. He was probably cold, but it gave "yay story time, let me get comfy" 😭😂 It also matched Fernie's big himbo energy.

Damien’s voice when he said “you killed the pervert” had me cracking up 😂

Weekly now? Lets Go!

Adjusting my work schedule to accommodate DnD video releases may be in the top ten nerdiest things I have ever done

Holy crap guys, just going to whip out those acting skills and make us all love your characters all of the sudden, huh? Best episode by far!

After the Smosh Mouth podcast where Amanda expresses how she felt gatekept from doing D&D before I think it is incredible just how good she is at it. The whole exchange in the dream realm had me nearly in tears. It was so authentic. Bravo!

NO MORE SILLIES BOYS, THE LORE IS EXPANDING

Holy shit... this dream scene legit gave me chills

the way the backstories were told in this was so good, genuinely did not expect to catch feels

So happy we got some backstory for Dolores and Koda this episode! Hopefully soon Fernie and Bug will have their turn ❤ (also very cute that during Dolores and Koda’s backstories the camera would cut to the full table and Shayne had randomly acquired a blanket)

Everything Angela does is GOLD

Damien speaking with a French accent is... something I didn't know I needed 👀

I really hope this becomes a long term weekly series, truly cannot get enough of this series.

Wow Delores backstory just breaks my heart. They had to have discussed beforehand. God damiens voice is so creepy (like the villain on Danny.exe but scary )

The prince being a plate made me laugh so hard

I love how chaotic Damien is as DM😂

"the wolf is the town pervert" has to be my favorite twist yet

Holy crap, damien an amanda are amazing actors... I am literally covered in goose bumps

Major props to Amanda and Chanse for those lore drops because jfc y'all are amazing!! Also appreciated that sweet moment of levity between Fernie and Bug lol

So I'm assuming this contains the "moment" Shayne mentioned in the most recent Smosh Mouth. Now I need to know. Edit: Goddammit Shayne lol

Damien has done an incredible job bringing this to life, and Angela, Shayne, Chanse, and Amanda are an incredible cast of people to do it with him. SO well done.

Damien absolutely losing it at every comment Shayne makes 😂

Damien has like +infinite in charisma, his voice acting skills makes him such a compelling DM

Amanda Chanse and Damien knocked it out of the park with the backstories oh my GOD

Guys, WELL DONE! What a session! Damien, Amanda, Chanse: Really, WELL DONE

This whole series needs to be made into a cartoon 😂

Round of applause for all of the behind the scenes people, in particular the sound! Really adds that extra layer of immersion.

Can’t spell Damien without DM! I love this group! I hope we can get more seasons and stories by Damien for this show, I’ve really enjoyed the stuff that’s already come out!

THIS IS SO GOOD!!! Those backstories practically had me in tears, the revelations about the castle were amazing, Damien’s storytelling is incredible, and the cast is just so good!!! I love this show so much!!!

Amanda is a phenomenal actress. I really hope she gets cast in a serious lead role one day.

If there’s more seasons I must see Garrett as an evil chef goblin

Didn't expect to be crying during this episode, such well incorporated backstories for Delores and Koda. And also that moment they had together was a great way for them to connect.

Koda gaslighting Bug at the end was perfect. man poor Bug he's trying so hard

DELORES BACKSTORY!! KODA BACKSTORY!!!! I love that Damien spends time letting each character shine intentionally. This is his first time DMing and I am EXTREMELY impressed. I can tell they are all settling into their roles and getting comfy in their characters. From the first episode to this one- especially Damien- has gotten so much stronger as a DM. And you can tell Chanse has for sure played before. He’s very confident. But watching Angela and Amanda light up with the improv and Shayne just getting there- but he’s not in deep yet.

"Thank you for giving me permission... in my own home." Love it! Also, digging the bracelets on Shayne.

I have a feeling the “you can have everything in the vault” vault is empty 😂 Loving this series! ~✨🐀✌🏻💜

You can see how immersed Amanda is in the story 29:30. This show is sow good.

Chanse’s elf ear ornaments are so pretty! Also this was an AMAZING episode!!!

This episode felt like that second season of an animated show where they really start to introduce the lore of the series. Loved it.

OMFG this was AMAZING! The acting of everyone, the ambience, Fernie and Bug being there as comedic relief after Koda's and Dolores' moments of heartbreak... I am so invested 🤣

man, the sound editting on this series really gives it a pretty cool touch

This might be my favourite series on KZfaq. The story and delivery has been amazing by Damien (I wish I could listen to audio books read by Damien) and the cast of players have thrown themselves right into their characters that also brings it to another level.

The plate plot twist literally made me hurt with how much I was laughing

I love the subtle use of sound effects in these episodes. "You are in an arena." *cheers* I got shivers!

I loved the fact that everyone were so immersed in their storylines and characters. I could literally feel Chanse's sadness through the screen. Well done everyone. And I'm proud of you Damien ❤

Delores' backstory and relationship with her patron is so amazing. Love this series
