Oxventure is a roleplaying Actual Play channel on Youtube. It is a spin-off from the video game journalism channel Outside Xbox. It features the hosts of Outside Xbox and sister show Outside Xtra — Mike Channell, Jane Douglas, Andy Farrant, Ellen Rose and Luke Westaway — with guests.In 2017, as part of the celebrations for Outside Xbox achieving two million subscribers, Outside Xbox and Outside Xtra joined together to play a Dungeons & Dragons game, as frequently requested by subscribers, with then-Eurogamer contributor Johnny Chiodini acting as the Dungeon Master. This proved very popular with the viewers and became a recurring feature, with new installments still being made. The campaign revolves around the misadventures of a party of adventurers known as the "Oxventurers", who are usually searching for nothing more than a nice little holiday but instead end up becoming embroiled in a series of quests resulting in curses, treasure and a terrifyingly high amount of bloodshed. The "Oxventurers" are: | |

Horsemen of the Apocalypse | |
Oxventure (Web Video) / int_12c6bf73 | comment |
Horsemen of the Apocalypse: The main villains of the story are themed deliberately after the four horsemen: War is a man who relishes in combat and destruction, forcing people into duels. Pestilence is a woman who forcibly transfers diseases into unwitting participants. Death is a judge who kills for even minor offenses. Hunger is a Corrupt Corporate Executive who makes food that turns people who eat it into ravenous emaciated monsters Conquest, the original interpretation of one horseman before being switched to Pestilence, is treated as a fifth horseman, forgotten about. She goes by a Latin name, Victoria. | |

Oxventure (Web Video) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Not since Dread has a One-Shot Wonder been that violent and brutal. The Black Comedy is lessened when compared to Oxventure, as much of the violence is shown to be painful: Margot shoots off a woman's leg and Purvis is beaten up so badly he has trouble moving. The violence isn't just physical too: Leah the villain is borderline insane because she keeps experiencing traumatic memories on a loop. | |

Gone Horribly Right | |
Oxventure (Web Video) / int_1994ba0b | comment |
Gone Horribly Right: In "Quiet Riot!", the team set a trap for a bunch of cultists involving a slippery floor, and to make things a bit easier Merilwen sets up a cantrip involving spikes to weaken them a bit. Thanks to being unprepared for the nature of the spikes (specifically, that they'd keep on growing) and some unfortunate rolls, several of them end up minced to death — and they're the lucky ones. Even our heroes, no strangers to bloodlust, are utterly horrified (except for Prudence, of course). | |

Violation of Common Sense | |
Oxventure (Web Video) / int_1b2b1d2c | comment |
Violation of Common Sense: Corazón disguising himself as a fictional creature, Egbert hitting a lit hand grenade like a baseball, Dob slipping a Tome of Eldritch Lore into an opponent's stew... this is pretty much their M.O. Part of why Johnny keeps getting confounded by the Oxventurers is that they keep successfully doing things that shouldn't be able to work. Lampshaded in one instance by Corazón where Dob states throwing Merilwen as a cat to a first-story window with a rope attached to her wouldn't make sense...as opposed to his plan of throwing Merilwen as a cat to a first story window so she could fire a rope arrow back to them. | |

The Caper: Act II is treated as one of these, in which one of Kasimir's contacts want the gang to break into the Dimmer Sister's vault. Episodes beforehand deal with getting the blueprints to the custom made lock, dealing with a demon enthralled by the sisters, researching an escape plan, enlisting the aid of a distraction, and finally, preventing a rival gang who stole all of the plans. | |

Cruel and Unusual Death | |
Oxventure (Web Video) / int_1e584efa | comment |
Cruel and Unusual Death: The Oxventurers are quite good at inflicting these. It's accidental about half the time (except for Prudence). Subverted with the pirates, since they are cursed to come back to life in two years, but they were defeated quite messily. To wit, Prudence horribly disembowels one after blasting him twice with Eldritch Blast, one was eaten by sharksnote described as being fed into a shredder and another molested by a squid ordered by Merilwen, Dob electrocutes two and then juliennes another one, and Egbert burned two with his dragon breath. The unfortunate silence cultists who investigate the noise the Oxventurers make inside the church in "Quiet Riot!". Thanks to a grease-slippery floor and a cantrip involving magic spikes, they end up being what can only be described as minced. The enemies fought in "Plunder Siege" mostly die before they can even get a shot off, but M. Channail gets the worst of it: Dob curses him to laugh uncontrollably with Hideous Laughter, Prudence adds crying to the mix with a Vicious Mockery, and Egbert incinerates him via divine smite and fire breath. In "Peak Performance", Vex suffers a nasty (if well-deserved) Rasputinian Death: He's smacked, set on fire, tied up in a burning building, impaled through the foot with a red-hot rapier, and finally frozen and shattered by a white dragon. | |

Wrong Genre Savvy: Played for Laughs when discussed by Johnny during "Spell Check." Egbert's flame breath allows for a Dexterity saving throw to avoid its effect. When using it on prison bars, Johnny resolves that they don't get this throw, since if the prison bars could avoid something, they wouldn't be doing their job. | |

Failed a Spot Check: Egbert, due to his negative Wisdom modifier, tends to miss important details, much to Johnny's delight. In "Mind Your Manors", Corazón indulges in several rich delights including drinking fine wine and smoking cigars in the mansion the Guild must stay in for the night. Unbeknownst to him, the things he's interacting with are disgusting and horrific, i.e., drinking slime instead of wine and smoking on a finger instead of a cigar. This also happens to Merilwen, who resides in a hammock made of guts and ribs, and Egbert, who just ends up eating really poor quality meat. | |

Guile Hero: Merilwen tends to use her wits more often than the other characters. In particular, she tricks a shady shopkeep selling a "cure-all" that polymorphs people into animals by feigning to drink it than invoking her Wild Shape to turn into a cat, so his operation would be exposed without her coming to harm. | |

Person as Verb: To be a "Dob" is to recklessly endanger a fellow party member. When Luke protests about this, the audience shouts that it is, indeed, a thing.

Amnesiac Villain Joins the Heroes: Downplayed example. It turns out that while Tiddles and Red are political prisoners who were arrested trying to overthrow a corrupt regime and had their memories taken in captivity, Manbird was one of their guards who lost his memory after messing about with the memory-erasing device. However, he was never particularly attached to the ideology of the regime, unlike the other guards they encounter, so even after he gets his memory back he's happy to stick with his new friends. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: Corazón might be a ruthless pirate, but even he's taken aback by Prudence's bloodthirsty willingness to use Eldritch Blast at every given opportunity. He's also not a bigot; in "Elf Hazard" he burns down an elf elder's home for displaying Fantastic Racism pointed at Prudence. Prudence herself is taken aback by what a bastard Corazón's father is. In "Unreal Estate", Prudence is the one who sarcastically points out that Corazón's plan for selling the Haunted House is basically to feed people into the meat grinder until they find one who lives long enough to hand over the money. Lamias are Chaotic Evil, but they always pick up their share of a tab. | |

Compelling Voice: Merilwen can command animals (and speak with them using a class feature). She often uses this ability for violence. Prudence, as a tiefling, knows the thaumaturgy cantrip, which gives her a Voice of the Legion (and glowing eyes, to boot) terrifying enough to usually scare people into doing what she asks. Egbert can command people to do what he wants. He uses this ability in both helpful ways (making a guard shout in "Quiet Riot!" and break the rules of his own religion) and ways that are just...well, bizarre. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
Oxventure (Web Video) / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: The Oxventurers generally prefer to think their way out of conflicts (see Off the Rails). But when they actually do fight anyone, it tends to be over within a round or two. This is due to a combination of the group's talent for lateral thinking, the fact that Johnny's NPCs have generally had bad luck with dice rolls (the pirates at the boathouse in A Spot of Bother had it so bad that Johnny decided they were all drunk), and the fact that the group has a fondness for Area of Effect attacks. Johnny tends to get caught a bit flat-footed by how quickly the foes get dispatched. During the Christmas charity special, Johnny's notes reveal that they need to come up with a boss that lasts for longer than one round. | |

Butt-Monkey: Merilwen tends to get picked on by Corazón and Prudence because of her love of nature and animals. In the second live show, Alfred the quest giver accompanies the team on the quest, but they mostly forget he's there except when they're making jokes about sending him in first to test for traps. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |
Oxventure (Web Video) / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: At the beginning of the 2018 EGX Rezzed live show, Johnny mentions that the tavern they're in has a large sign on the wall saying "EGX Rezzed", which is presumed to be the name of the tavern owner, and is full of enthusiastic people (the crowd cheers). Johnny's description of the utterly silent town in "Quiet Riot!" keeps being interrupted by what sounds like some fire engines passing outside, prompting them to concede that the silence is broken by "the occasional siren". Towards the end of the EGX 2018 live show, the announcer warns everyone that EGX will be closing soon. Said announcer is immediately identified as Cthulhu. | |

Kansas City Shuffle: During "Ship Happens", a group of cultists hires the Oxventurers as a pleasure cruise, to reach an island and entertain them along the way with activities such as fireworks, magic shows, whale watching and tons of drinking. During the voyage, the guild suspects the cultists are up to something sinister because there is evil occult magic occurring at night. At the end of the voyage, it was revealed that the occult magic was actually nothing, and the entertainment during the day actually summoned an evil imprisoned stag god from beneath the sea. During "Bone to Pick", the loophole skeletons get the Oxventurers to bind themselves to the hammer, forcing them to sneak back into Bumble to renew the curse on the hammer lest it destroy them. | |

They were also missing a membernote Mike had a prior engagement. The following caper, "A Spot of Bother" named the adventure and when the videos came to the Oxventure established channel, it was properly renamed. | |

What Measure Is a Mook?: Invoked and lampshaded in "The Death of Cornelius Bagshot". The team reluctantly come to the conclusion that they're going to have to kill somebody to make their plan work, and repeatedly stress that they're deliberately avoiding learning their intended victim's name, whether he has any family, or anything else that would force them to see him as a person. In the event, the plan has to be changed and that character gets to live. As soon as it's established that he's going to survive, Luke makes a point of telling the team his name and how many children he has. | |

Improbable Infant Survival: Played with. When Liv realizes that her character is getting a small orphan child involved in the big fight, she gives the child a chapstick of invulnerability, ensuring that it survives to the end of the adventure despite being in close proximity to the subsequent violence. However, all the other orphans that also came to watch the event wind up getting messily exploded. | |

Merilwen sees a forest glade with croaking frogs and a bubbling brook. Dob sees a a writing nook and a large room for the group to hang out. Prudence sees a brimstone hellpit with an ensuite bathroom covered in blood accessible by hellportal. While Egbert never got to see his room in the actual adventure, Johnny later confirmed it would have looked like a quiet cell to pray in. | |

Off the Rails | |
Oxventure (Web Video) / int_60eac4ba | comment |
Off the Rails: Something of a Running Gag in the games, especially when it comes to boss battles. On multiple occasions, Johnny has admitted that they had planned an epic battle royale against the villain for the Oxventurers to have to struggle against, only for the Oxventurers to inadvertently derail their plans and end up winning easily by coming up with an approach they didn't anticipate: In the first game, a combination of the Oxventurers' unexpected skill at stealth, coupled with Johnny's in-hindsight poorly-planned decision to make the bad guy a gnome, lead them to defeat him without really needing to fight. In the second, the boss fight against an entire pirate ship is thwarted when the Oxventurers use a mind-influenced whale to ram the ship, meaning that most of the crew have to deal with stopping the ship from sinking. Not quite a derailing, since the fight goes ahead anyway, but a downplayed example occurs in the third game. Johnny's battle for the Oxventurers against a giant mechanical beetle was delivered a curve ball when Mike hit upon the idea of using Egbert's mace to hit one of his bombs into the beetle's mouth. The in-game rules, mechanics and logistics utterly broke Johnny's brain until they eventually gave up and ordered Mike to beat a twenty-roll to allow it... which Mike did. In more of a character-derailing moment, in the fourth game Johnny expresses frustration that the Oxventurers take their NPC, who was supposed to be an erudite intellectual archaeologist, and gleefully turn him into a petulant baby. When Johnny set them up against an Owlbear, Merilwen was able to use Speak with Animals to calm it down and convince it to leave peacefully before the fight even startednote Johnny points out that this is technically not allowed, since an Owlbear is a monstrosity and not a beast, but Johnny thought the idea was too good. Johnny has remarked at the end of "Bad Chair Day" that they'd never been derailed so hard, specifically because a minor detail blew up into a half-hour mess that accomplished nothing except to burn time and ruin a local business - particularly given that it was a convention live show and they had a time limit! "Tower Rangers" had Johnny set up a tower full of enemies similar to the Bruce Lee film Game of Death. However, Prudence's Spider Climb coupled with every adventurer having 50 feet of hempen rope allowed her to scale the tower and bypass the whole thing. "Heir Superiority" quickly became derailed. Johnny accepted responsibility for this one, as "depose some twat who became a king" doesn't actually take very long. "Silent Knight" derails for a few minutes when Mike casually mentions that Egbert possess Misty Step, a short-range teleport spell, causing everyone else to devolve into fits of laughter interspersed with realizations of how many times teleporting might have been able to help the Guild. After Andy and Luke begin putting on bee costumes during "Tome Sweet Tome", an audience member asks Johnny if this was worse, or better, than "Bad Chair Day." It was worse. During "Dine Harder", Johnny invokes TvTropes itself to suggest the boss battle being placed under the trope, as not only was the boss Bush Ranger defeated by dropping him down an elevator shaft, the group also fought the head chef of the restaurant instead, the one person Johnny didn't stat up because it was never intended for the chef to be in combat. During "Carpe Idiom", it was agreed that Luke buying hard drugs from an owl was the point the story came off the rails. | |

Author Avatar: Played for laughs; each of the characters shares certain notable similarities with the person who role-plays him or her: Merilwen is a huge animal lover with a particular fondness for cats, as Ellen is; Prudence is an Ax-Crazy lunatic with a fondness for killing people in creatively horrible ways, in keeping with both Jane's video game play-style (she can be very creatively ruthless) and her Memetic Mutation persona as an evil Mad Scientist type who enjoys coming up with creatively horrible experiments on her co-workers; Egbert is a well-meaning but clumsy fellow who's various contributions to proceedings tend to be rather direct, explosive and firey in nature, as Mike's play-throughs of games such as Hitman tend to end up being; Corazón is a sneaky roguish pirate who tends to prefer using the stealth route as much as possible, as Andy does in his video game playthroughs, and Andy has a fondness for pirates; Dob is an amiable type with a musical streak, as is Luke (he plays the "Show of the Weekend" theme). He's also a bard, and tends to draw on stories; many of Luke's quizzes for Ellen on "Show of the Weekend" involve taking her through a "Choose Your Own Adventure" story that he's devised. | |

Distinction Without a Difference: When the wizard casts an area-of-effect attack spell on the kobolds, Luke has the players roll saving throws and describes how the spell kills the ones who failed their saves. Then he points out that passing the saving throw means the character takes half damage, which considering how squishy the kobolds are means that even the ones who passed and were at full health take enough damage to kill them outright. | |

Each of the shopkeepers explains that they're run off their feet with their own preparations for the festival and ask the protagonists to go and fetch an important ingredient for them. Lampshaded by both Mike and Grant, who at different points in the episode remark that the town seems to be having serious supply-chain problems. | |

Amnesiac Dissonance: It's foreshadowed as a possibility that the characters' true identities may be very different from their amnesiac personalities, especially after it's revealed that they were on a prison ship and Tiddles is wearing the outfit denoting the most dangerous class of prisoner. In the end, Tiddles and Red are heroes after all, who were imprisoned by a corrupt regime they attempted to overthrow, and the most villainous of the three (though still not very villainous) is Manbird — who was one of the guards. | |

Interspecies Romance | |
Oxventure (Web Video) / int_8485d41a | comment |
Interspecies Romance: Briefly, between Egbert the Dragonborn and Adhrel the Wood Elf. Though it’s not specified what they get up to after going off alone together, Adhrel was clearly smitten with Egbert’s handsome face and muscular build. The sun elf barbarian from "Hunter Pressure" has a huge crush on Corazón. Egbert immediately falls in love with Cecelia Dubois in "Unreal Estate", although she lets him down gently - surprisingly so, given that immediately before Egbert asks her out she had made the offer "let me leave peacefully and I won't tell anyone you're here". The True Heroes of G'eth had human Curore be in a relationship with dwarf Bogheck. But they're no longer in a relationship, and it's hinted the reason was because Curore is a bookworm whereas Bogheck is the life of the party. Merilwen has a moment with a sailor while in octopus form. Jokes aside, Merilwen insists any actual romance is only going to happen in elf-form. | |

Protagonist-Centered Morality | |
Oxventure (Web Video) / int_89434320 | comment |
Protagonist-Centered Morality: Lampshaded at the end, when Luke points out that, in saving the festival, the kobolds have caused the adventurers' mission to fail, with terrible consequences for the world beyond the caverns (none of which the kobolds are aware of or care about). The entire scenario is an inversion of the usual protagonist-centered morality involved when adventurers meet kobolds, as the speed with which the adventurers default to "let's just kill any kobold that gets in our way" is not atypical but is a lot more obvious when the kobolds and not the adventurers are the protagonists. | |

Oxventure (Web Video) / int_94332264 | comment |
Busman's Holiday: It is quite common for the Oxventurer's to plan some sort of relaxing thing only to be dragged into an adventure. "Wild Wild Woods" happens during a planned picnic, "A Spot of Bother", "An Orc-ward Encounter", "A Fishmas Carol", "Bad Chair Day", "Spell Check", and "Rolling in the Deeps" begin during a night of drinking, avoiding You All Meet in an Inn. | |

Things take a turn when it’s revealed that Vex laid the trap she once rescued Simon from, and is now wearing Simon’s pelt as a hat. In a meta sense, Ellen is uncharacteristically quiet for the rest of the episode. | |

No-Sell: Dob's Thunderwave allows a saving throw to completely ignore the effects. Dob and Merilwen do it during the Orcward Encounter event. Both Prudence and Egbert are fireproof, which is rather useful given the latter's weapon of choice.note Strictly speaking, they're both only resistant to fire so they should take half damage, but Johnny is pretty lenient on the subject. | |

Future Imperfect | |
Oxventure (Web Video) / int_ac0f4761 | comment |
Future Imperfect: The original Oxventures are sometimes referenced as in-universe historical events, but with clear inaccuracies. Most notably, the opera "The Marriage of Lady Fyengeh" gives the inept paladin Chauncey a Historical Hero Upgrade while the honourable Captain Shattershield gets a Historical Villain Upgrade. While it turns out in the Oxventure proper that, as in the opera, Shattershield and Chauncey did indeed compete for Lady Fyengeh's hand to a degree, with Chauncey winning out and Shattershield being quite bitter about it, Shattershield did not die as the opera would have it. Still, this may be put down to the needs of a dramatic adaptation of the story. | |

Oh, Crap! | |

Oh, Crap!: Luke has several during the adventurers: When Luke realises that the group had forgot to secure the horse and cart after they let M. Channail run free. Then again in the same adventure after Prudence blows up the crypt without warning Channail's guards/workers. Luke has an extremely visible "oh crap" moment after attacking a gigantic monster with the Thunderwave spell, when Johnny starts muttering calculations about the monster's size and Luke realizes that Merilwen's attack, in which she leapt onto the monster's head, means she's also within range of the spell. In this case, Ellen gets there way before Luke does. Several people have this reaction when Egbert stuffs a bomb into Evil Dob's mouth and is more concerned with the fuse length than the blast radius. Luke in particular makes some very exaggerated hand gestures. | |

Forced Transformation: In the first episode, M. Channail sells potions that turn unsuspecting people into animals, claiming that they're a miraculous cure-all. In Plunder Siege, Dob turns a brigand into a goblin by slipping a Tome of Eldritch Lore into said brigand's stew. In "Exhibition Impossible", Egbert acquires a cursed mace that has a chance of turning anyone it hits into an animal. Egbert's first attempt to use it is on its previous owner and spends an indeterminate amount of time prodding the man with the mace until he turns into a seal. | |

Lost in Character | |
Oxventure (Web Video) / int_be81113b | comment |
Lost in Character: The team can find themselves dealing with this in a meta-sense. In one example, in "Quiet Riot!" the characters find themselves in a town suffering from an enforced vow of silence, prompting the group and Johnny to start whispering everything they say and do, even when they're discussing character actions. When Jane consequently says something in a normal tone of voice, everyone reacts as if there actually is some kind of enforced silence going on, to which she (slightly impatiently) responds that it can be taken as granted that her character is whispering, but Jane herself feels no need to do so as an actual person. Everyone consequently acknowledges that this is a more practical approach to take (though they do start slipping back into it later in the episode). | |

Oxventure (Web Video) / int_bf698238 | comment |
When All You Have Is a Hammer…: Blades tends to emphasize this, as experience is gained by the character solving problems in a particular way. Zillah's solution to all of her problems is punching and other violence. When sneaking into Amadeus Astor's factory, she asks if there's a punching department. | |

Oxventure (Web Video) / int_c3bdfbb9 | comment |
Let's You and Him Fight: In the final battle, Victoria gets Nate's manitou to take control and fight Delacey, and then uses an illusion to make Edie attack Garnet. Neither is a completely straight example, however, as Delacey opts to talk Victoria and the manitou out of it rather than fight, while Garnet is left paralysed and helpless against Edie rather than being allowed to fight back (either because it would disrupt the illusion to have the monster suddenly cast Burst, or just out of cruelty). | |

Hero with an F in Good: Poor Egbert. He's not going to find much atonement adventuring with Prudence and Corazón. Aside from Prudence, the Oxventurers in general suffer from this; they mean well and usually try to do the right or heroic thing, but their adventures tend to collate a massive body count nevertheless. | |

Schmuck Bait: Often invoked. Whenever the group is presented with an obvious trap or clearly bad choice, one of the group (usually Mike or Andy) will typically have their character try to walk straight into it for laughs - usually follows by an “I tackle them to the ground� from one of the others. This also includes Dramatic Irony situations: if half the group finds out that they shouldn’t do something but the other half doesn’t know in-universe, their players will typically intentionally go all in on doing the said thing, as characters don’t know about. | |

Friendship Moment: When a goblin injures and mocks Merilwen, Dob urges Egbert to "punch him so hard his head comes off." Egbert is happy to oblige (with the added flourish of swinging his mace like a baseball bat to knock the goblin's head from his shoulders) which earns him a hug from Merilwen in thanks for defending her. Corazon lights the house of the racist and fanatical Wood Elf elder on fire because he thought it’d make Prudence happy, which it does. In "Unreal Estate", Prudence (of all people) asks how Corazón is feeling. | |

GMPC: In addition to being "literally everyone else in the world", Johnny often sets up and depicts an outside character who tags along with the Oxventurers on their quest, although this character usually doesn't do much outside of being Mr. Exposition and futzing around in the background. Typically, the idea seems to be someone being around to keep the inexperienced (and easily-distracted) Oxventurers on track while simultaneously allowing them to be the focus of the narrative. Some notable examples include: The wizard Binbag in "Wild Wild Woods!", who sends the Oxventurers on their quest and keeps popping up every so often to give them advice. Curiously, this ends up inverting the typical complaint about GMPCs, as the Oxventurers get very snarky about how Binbag doesn't seem to do much magic for an all-powerful wizard and keeps conveniently showing up after the Oxventurers have cleaned up all the threats in the vicinity. Alfred Strangetide, who hires the Oxventurers in "An Orcward Encounter". He's supposed to be a rather dashing and intelligent (if naive and inexperienced) professional archaeologist, but much to Johnny's mortification once the Oxventurers get ahold of him he's turned into a literal baby. Note that this is not due to some spell, or cosmic retcon, but simply came to be due to the Oxventurers relentlessly being patronizing to the NPC in question, until even Johnny started playing along. Flannery, the irritating and incredibly useless mime-jester in "Quiet Riot!" who quickly inspires Corazón's undying loathing. Rust-On-The-Harbor, the Cat Folk pirate, from "The Corn Ultimatium." He is actually much more capable than other NPCs, and serves a use for the battle. He's built like an assassin. Averted with Hengist, their dwarf cleric, since Johnny isn't the GM for that story. | |

Oxventure (Web Video) / int_e54606b9 | comment |
Noob: The team freely acknowledge (and derive much Self-Deprecation from) the fact that they are clearly inexperienced at Dungeons & Dragons in general terms, and the sessions tend to be played more for their entertainment value than for a strict adherence to the rules and gameplay. This is lampshaded in the first session when Johnny, noting that despite their experience with tabletop roleplay gaming in general they haven't played much D&D specifically, asks any hardcore D&D players in the audience to "be kind" with respect to their DMing: | |

Quick Draw | |
Oxventure (Web Video) / int_e5a6888c | comment |
Quick Draw: The focal point of "Dead Man's Worth, Part 1" is a elimination bracket tournament of duels with eight participants, including two of the party and the bad guy they are fighting. This Showdown at High Noon is explicitly a quick draw competition. Killing the opponent is not required, as one woman refuses to kill a prisoner conscripted to fight after beating him. But it can happen, as Delacy shoots a cowboy actor through the throat, a frontierswoman is shot through the head, and Nate is fatally wounded. | |

Oxventure (Web Video) / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: Egbert discusses this in the "Out of Order" campaign when using his Command spell on Jacques Darkfall. He remarks that he wants to assist the party but not kill Darkfall, so if he says something like "disarm", Jacques might disarm one of the Oxventurers. And so, he picks "disrobe" because it can't be twisted, and it will lower Jacques's armor class. Both Merilwen and Corazón remark that he could just say "surrender", but then Egbert responds by saying he did that in another adventure so he's sticking with disrobe. | |

The video has Johnny voice their many frustrations at the Oxventurers that they have endured as their DM, such as taking unrelated tangents, picking up on clues too early, and being asked hyper-specific questions you cannot reasonably answer, among other things. | |

Railroading: Invoked at times, particularly towards the end of "Plunder Siege!", when Prudence licking a grimoire somehow activates a secret passageway that takes the Oxventurers to the final confrontation straight away. Justified in this particular case as it was a live event and the venue was closing, meaning the group had to get to the final confrontation sharpish. Justified in general as the group are inexperienced at D&D and prone to tangents and distractions, meaning that Johnny has to keep them on track somehow. They're also recording the D&D campaigns for a live and/or online audience rather than just playing them purely for their own amusement, meaning that too many tangents and narratives that don't go anywhere could cause the audience to switch off. | |

Pushed in Front of the Audience: In "The Marriage of Lady Fyengeh", Kasimir and Zillah are lurking backstage during the eponymous opera when Zillah inadvertantly trips a passing man who is knocked unconscious. To defuse the situation, Kasimir volunteers to take his place, which results in him carrying a prop onstage without the slightest idea what's supposed to happen next. He manages to pass it off as a comic turn, to the delight of the audience — which is not necessarily a good thing for a man in the middle of a cunning theft, because it means a lot of people will now remember he was there. | |

Beware the Nice Ones: While Dob, Egbert, and Merilwen are mostly kind-hearted people, when push comes to shove, they're capable of fighting as evidenced in their fight with Corazón's former pirate crew. Merilwen in particular is this incarnate, being a cute, kindhearted druid who, over the course of the "Quiet Riot" session, proved to be a scarily effective killer. Ellen's had to remind everyone that despite being nice, she's actually a neutral character not strictly good. | |

Dark and Troubled Past: None of the Oxventurers had what you would call a happy life. Dob's parents weren't around so he was left to be raised by her sister who then disappeared after she went to look for help when Dob contracted rabies. Prudence was a foundling child who ended up being adopted by a warlock and was exposed to Fantastic Racism as a teenager. Corazón's childhood is sparse on details but evidently his dad was a bit of a dick. Merilwen bonded and subsequently outlived a cat. Egbert is implied to have a rough life before he joined a Paladin order, from which he was subsequently expelled. | |

Memory Jar: The characters learn that they didn't just lose their memories in the shipwreck; their memories were deliberately removed and stored in a magical artifact. Their goal then becomes to retrieve the artifact and get their memories back. | |
