Funny / Steel and Silence

• Before the game started, Arcadum and the girls streamed themselves preparing their game. It had its fair share of funny moments.
  • At one point, Arcadum points out he's apparently considered "Dungeon Daddy" to the group, which Mousey is quite taken with upon hearing as much, even noting he really radiates "Daddy energy." Later on, Arcadum asks Mouse if she's taken her medicine, remembering her noting she needs to take it now and then. Many of the girls are delighted by this (besides Mel, who annoyedly notes Arcadum is a better Daddy than her), with Mouse in particular noting he really is a Daddy, to Arcadum's lack of amusement.
  • Some time later after her medication, Mousey notes to "Daddy" that she took her medicine and asks if he's proud of her. When Arcadum confirms as much, she squees in pure delight... Then tears up when Melody points out she finally got her Dad's approval, no doubt in reference to when the two, Silver, and Bunny played Doki Doki Literature Club! with Lost Pause where Mousey played up Natsuki's poor relationship with her dad.
  • After doing a voiceover for Babylon, many of the girls are left amazed with Mousey in particular making some comical whimpers... Then screaming after Momo sheepishly considers becoming a Cleric of Babylon with Arcadum screaming into his palms comically in return.
    • He screams into his palms again when he tells Bunny she doesn't have to call him "Dungeon Daddy", yet she insists on the fact that she knows titles are important in D&D.
  • The furry story. Just... the whole furry story. The fact that he's serious about the girls, who already establish themselves with their perverse questions, not being the absolute worst group to work with.
• While the girls are at a party to search for someone, Zara goes to the bar where she chats with an old man dwarf whom doesn't hide his interest for a "night of passion." Zara decides to try and knock him out... only to discover this is how female Dwarves greet and due to a high roll, the Dwarf found that very sexy.
• Revlis ends up coming across a very seducing man whom Arcadum clearly dreads having to voice, knowing the girls would love it. And indeed they do, many left squeeing in delight with Momo even admitting she's blushing and having to mute... All this soon leading to Silver asking if people can have sex in D&D, stating she's doing so to easily get information out of the man. Mind you, this is the second episode.
  • Even funnier is that Silver/Revlis didn't even ask the man's name before taking him to the library... And finds out while doing the deed, from another NPC Terryn's talking with, no less, that he's a slaver who hates monsters, especially dragons and wishes to remove their rights. Needless to say, she absolutely regrets this decision.
    • Even better? The same NPC who warned Terryn of the man has sex with him not long after Revlis did! And in the library, too!
• When Zara gets the chance to flirt with the man she's interested in?
  Zen: Time to catch a Pokémon.
  • When said man has to get back to work, he goes to kiss Zara... Whom then picks him up and kisses him.
• After a heartfelt talk with a sad half-orc poet and dancing with him, another man tries to take his attention away from Umi and dance with him. In response, Umi "fiercely" tells the man to take his "tiny-ass sword" and leave. Thanks to rolling a high enough roll on Intimidation, the man is sent into tears and runs off... And then it turns out this, in orc culture, was a very romantic action, provoking the half-orc to ask for Umi's hand in marriage. Note that he hasn't even known her for an hour.
  • This later leads to the orc doing a ritualistic dance to show his affection for Umi. The dance itself is priceless, but it's made doubly funnier when Arcadum sings the main lyrics to "U got that" in the middle and actually cracks up before he can even finish it. Also, this is done in front of everyone else in the group... while they're on the search for a killer to clear their names.
    Vaeri: A MYAN HAS DIED!
    • After the dance, the half-orc shows his orc teeth to Umi, which is also related to orcish culture. To that, Mouse was about to have Umi show her small fang that hangs out of her mouth... and to that, Arcadum asks if she's sure, making Mouse worry if that means she wishes to mate. She decides to do so anyways, "for the memes." In response? The orc indeed believes this means she accepts his affection and leaves for a fortnight, planning to ready himself for the "Trials... of... MATING!" This leads to a Running Gag of everyone else absolutely teasing Mouse/Umi for this as she tries to assert that he's not her fiancé and it's a misunderstanding.
• Shortly after entering the sewers, the group discover Daiyo can talk and to that, Revlis tells Daiyo to go lick Vaeri. Out of panic, Vaeri tells him not to as, according to her, that means a lot more in her culture. Most likely, it doesn't and Momo was simply poking fun at how Zara and Umi both unintentionally did cultural things to arouse the interest of others.
• While making their way through the sewers, Revlis decides to try and kick Vaeri into the sewer water, succeeding in doing so after a Strength check. Arcadum then makes it clear it wasn't a short drop in, but a loooong one to Silver's horror. This leads to Vaeri getting a mouth full of shit water, but thankfully getting saved by a friendly giant monster wearing a top hat.
  • Upon meeting this monster, Melody asks if she can roll to see if she has a tentacle fetish; She proceeds to fail and gains the fetish, which seemingly leads to her asking for the monster to place his "fornikilling" goop onto her, causing her to switch moods on wanting to kill or have sex with things whenever she's touched for a while and most likely lead to her going from a cold quiet tsundere to the Cuckoolander she is in future episodes. Even funnier is that she says it has no effect on her in the next episode and rolls a high enough Deception check that none of the others could beat it, despite it being quite obvious it did.
  • Much later, karma bites back and Zara, after threatening to do so earlier, chucks Revlis into sewer water. While this ends up being more dangerous with a crocodile going after Revlis, Vaeri cheers for this and proceeds to sit back and watch.
    • Revlis gets back at Zara by having Daiyo piss on her.
  • After getting her clothes drenched in sewer water, Vaeri proceeds to strip her clothes off, but Revlis, feeling guilty for this, sends Daiyo to fetch clothes for her, which he does so...
    Arcadum (as Daiyo falls down some stairs, represented by his icon spinning around): Ah, fuck, fuck, shit ass, motherfuck ass...!
    Silver: (laughs as Bunny gasps and chokes) I did not teach you those words, Daiyohoho!
    • Even funnier is that Vaeri's icon is switched to her comically crying for a while after this.
• The group's first battle in the sewers against a group of acolytes:
  • It starts normally, but then, partway through, Terryn happens. She transforms into the half-Orc the group met earlier, successfully performs a Wall Run to reach one of her further-off opponents, and, due to having deliberately gotten drugged with a substance that induces a desire for "fornakilling", decides that the most appropriate means of attacking him would be to rip off one of his nipples, with Vaeri joining in to take his other one.
  • After the above, Terryn uses a spell to force the remaining acolyte to find the situation absolutely hilarious, actually succeeding at keeping him from being able to attack for multiple turns. She later proceeds to transform into him so that she can seduce him (who is still laughing, mind you) as him, even initially succeeding at doing so... and then rips off his nipples while making out with him.
  • While the acolyte's laughing his ass off, Revlis uses a spell to pick up a nipple and throw it at the man. Though this doesn't damage him, it does lead to him laughing even harder and calling another man a "tit" while also balancing said nipple on his head for a joke. Silver understandably notes this was a good use of her turn.
  • During the whole fight, the girls are losing their collective shit at the many hilarious moments with Momo in particular letting out a weak and slow Woody Woodpecker-like laugh that absolutely cracks up Arcadum.
    • This leads to another Running Gag of the girls, especially Revlis, collecting the nipples of their enemies. Yes, even Umi, the heart of the group, is weirdly interested in taking people's nipples, even pouting when one of them was taken from her during battle. Zara, of all people, is disturbed by this.
  • Meanwhile, poor Madeline gets incapacitated twice in a row, both times with one of the acolytes getting killed and the body dropping on top of her, and at one point one of the many severed nipples lands on her ear; then again, it's not all bad, as Umi decides that the best way to give her a healing potion is to effectively make out with her.
  • This is all capped off when the battle ends, and Arcadum belts out the Final Fantasy VII victory fanfare in a tone that just screams "What has my campaign become?".
• While being led around the sewers by Sad Derick, the group agree to meeting a fellow sea creature, who can help direct them to their target, but isn't happy to talk with them nor Derick... Until he sees Umi, whom he proceeds to put the moves on... In Aquatic/Spanish. Doubles as Awesome and Heartwarming that Arcadum put in the effort to let Mouse speak in her native tongue.
  • The creature agrees to help the group... If they give them a lock of hair from a maiden, of which he intends to do... things with. Problem is, it's not entirely clear from her icon if Umi even has hair that can be plucked... Luckily, Terryn being under the effects of fornikilling convinces the creature to help them without the request needing to be fulfilled, knowing the applier of said effects personally.
• The group meeting up with Doug the acolyte:
  • Zen/Zara decides to try and assuage his suspicions about them by guessing his name so that she can convince him that they know each other. Despite getting a 1 in 20 chance at succeeding, she pulls it off, basically guessing that his name is Doug at complete random. Arcadum's "Holy shit" when the rolls were in Zen/Zara's favor despite the low chance and everyone laughing afterwards is especially priceless.
  • The group ends up getting high with Doug, and gets his backstory. However, this bonding moment doesn't last long, as when Melody/Terryn decides to make out with him and Mouse/Umi pokes his butt, Zen/Zara suddenly knocks him unconscious. The party then robs him, leave his pants yanked down after they inspect his penis, leave his drugs scattered everywhere, and places a note on him saying "Our bad" (with Umi adding an addendum of "PS: Nice Cock") as well as Madeline sticking one of her feathers against his butt, before they move on. Though he does have the fortune to get a good roll that results in him being well-endowed.
    • And then Zara, possibly due to being high, promptly forgets about being the one who knocked Doug out, frequently commenting about the unconscious man in their midst until the group moves on.
  • Not long after, Umi decides to pull on Vaeri's tail as they go through a door. Momo/Vaeri's squeal at this is priceless.
  • Doug is the gift that keeps on giving when the party happens upon another group of acolytes, at which point Melody/Terryn transforms into him and sneaks into their ranks, with her attempts to continue fooling them being a veritable comedy of errors that sees her succeeding seemingly by pure luck:
    • One of the acolytes has her perform the Secret Handshake, which she fails to do. However, since Doug is The Stoner, this merely results in the acolyte sighing in exasperation that "Doug" still doesn't know the handshake.
    • Melody/Terryn attempts to hit the acolytes with an Eldritch Blast, only for it to miss completely. However, this results in the acolytes assuming that she was aiming for the party and just has terrible aim, not questioning "Doug" on why he suddenly has warlock abilities, likely due to being under a mind-messing spell from Silver/Revlis.
    • After this, the acolytes become suspicious and ask "Doug" to remember a Noodle Incident from a while ago. Rather than try to answer, Melody/Terryn mentions how "Doug" is still a virgin... To the acolytes, that checks out and they accept it.
    • Finally, Melody/Terryn pretends that she is under some kind of mental attack and runs away in feigned panic, succeeding at getting one of the remaining acolytes to follow her. Following that is a Crowning Moment of Black Comedy as the acolyte makes a heartfelt attempt to reassure "Doug", only for Melody/Terryn to stab him. Though this soon goes into Tearjerker territory as Melody/Terryn clearly feels guilty for doing so and the acolyte being genuinely mortified when he thought "Doug" had stabbed him and then further horrified at the possibility that something had happened to the real Doug when Terryn reveals herself, Melody even hesitating to commit this action and crying over it.
  • Said feigned panic was provoked by some of the acolytes, under the aforementioned spell from Revlis, assuming Vaeri is a huge rat, in reference to the "Oh shit a rat!" meme.
• After deciding to help a "Ghost Baby" to find his family and assuming the role of his "Mom", what does Umi do when meeting a member of said family who's clearly a powerful being? To stand between them and curtly says "EXCUSE me, Ex-CUSE ME! This is my ghost baby!" Umi immediately gets sent flying into Zara for her troubles with a simple shoulder tap, much like how Zara herself got sent flying by Babylon a while ago for trying to grab him.
  • While talking with the spirit, Umi asks if she can get an apology for him sending her flying earlier. She doesn't. But she does get a mansion, as well as a fire upgrade to her naginata from a God for helping a child. (Which is pretty funny itself, considering Umi's past of touching fire, which does not go unnoticed by everyone.)
• During Braktor's first meeting with the girls, he struggles to hold a conversation with all of them. And sometimes, Arcadum himself struggles to keep the girls on track. When Jairx meets them? She easily controls them with her "dommy mommy" energy, scarousing them. Doubles as Awesome.
  • One example of this is when Terryn notes she could become Jairx's partner, being a Changeling. (Even though she can't unless she's seen the person beforehand.) To that, Jairx simply tells her not to and Terryn obliges.
  • Before Jairx leaves, Zara notes she'd like to challenge her someday... And accepts challenging her now when Jairx comes back and asks, to the fears of everyone. This leads to everyone having to make a roll to not be intimidated by Jairx's transformation rather than fight her... Of which all but Terryn fail (Which is fitting when she and Jairx both look up to Wode), but Zara? She rolls a Nat 1. While what Arcadum notes Zara sees from this is horrifying and sad, it's rather amusing to see the one who wanted to fight Jairx in the first place fail so badly.
  • What's also amusing is that Zara would later meet Jairx's partner, Nox, later down the line and train with her. And like with Jairx, Zara hopes to challenge Nox again, to the Dragonborn's amusement.
• Big Hoots. Just...Big Hoots.
  Big Hoots: Hell, yea!
• At the docks, the girls meet a buff woman whom they quickly wish to see Zara have a strength test with each other. Indeed, Zara challenges her and they hold hands together and squeeze until one gives up. Zara ends up losing but still impresses the woman, nevertheless. To that, the other girls want Zara to make out with the woman or at least end it on them just barely kissing before the episode ends. Zen/Zara makes no comment on this, but what makes this absolutely hilarious is the fact that Zara is already in a relationship and worked hard to get it. One can only imagine how her boyfriend would react to her friends trying to goad her into another relationship.
• While searching for a member of the Shattered Star, the girls end up pretending to be prostitutes to get on the boats of the docks to search for him. This actually works in their favor as the man they're searching for asks for their services, allowing them to get alone with him in private. And of all people, he wants Umi, whom seems to have an unusual knack for attracting men, despite being the only member who has never intentionally tried to get with anyone.
  • While undergoing this search, one of the sailors asks Revlis (who is posing as the Madame of the band of prostitutes) if she's a succubus. Silver manages to improvise an answer...
    Revlis: "I'm retired!"
  • As Umi, Revlis, and Vaeri are alone with the man, Terryn joins in... While taking the form of said man. What makes this absolutely hilarious is that Arcadum actually has to take a moment to think and ask himself how the man would react to such a situation. Yes, Melody managed to do something so weird that even Arcadum, someone who's ready for just about any situation, had to wonder for a bit on how one of his characters would react to it.
• While acting as prostitutes, a man asks for Revlis' services but is too short on Gold for it to her tastes. He then asks for at least a hug, which Zara sweetly gives him, motivating him to be ready for adventures ahead, making for a Heartwarming moment... Then Revlis and a couple of the other girls randomly decide to clap his ass, with Zara's shot at it sending him overboard. This leads to a woman diving in to save said man, both of them falling in love to the girls' delight.
• As Umi, Revlis, Vaeri, and Terryn are alone with the Shattered Star member, Zara is stopped by a man who wishes to paint her, calling her "immaculate" as he does so. What makes this absolutely hilarious is the art used for the man is of Claude from Fire Emblem Three Houses and an important character from said game is called "The Immaculate One". Doubly funnier is that Arcadum hasn't even played the games, and moreso when Joe Zieja himself plays in one of his campaigns, making all of this an unusually amazing coincidence!
• During the start of one session, Arcadum makes plenty of references to the Goofy Movie, especially with having multiple icons based on it, changing into them after the gals beg him to change back into his normal one.
• Mousey constantly getting Mezzleternorta's name wrong. Thankfully, he isn't upset by this.
• Umi "falling asleep" when she meets back up with the group and is being carried by Mezzle while suddenly aged up. While it was clear Mouse needed to get her medicine after a long scene by herself, she definitely had to have known she left poor Mezzle in a bad situation.
  • Indeed, the group immediately accuse him of having done something bad to Umi and make him tie himself up and dance to prove his innocence. Fortunately, the dance of his people does the trick. At least, for Terryn.
• Using Revlis' illusion powers to induce fear on three Shattered Star members leads to the group stuck between a group of murderous wisps. Cue everyone but Zara and Mezzle getting terrible rolls. Terryn ends up stuck in a window because her ass is "too dummy thicc". Madeline falls flat on her face. Momo and Silver get a series of disastrous rolls that led to Vaeri and Revilis getting tangled up, Revlis hitting a tree and "sexy falling" and the pair being one bad roll away from permadeath. Eventually, Umi is whisked away by Macademia Nut, Zara shoulder checks the window freeing Terryn out and carrying her to safety, Madeline uses a potion to "Peter Pan the fuck out of here", while Vaeri and Revlis pull out last-minute saving rolls.
  • What do Terryn and Zara do when they see the bloody remains of the Shattered Star? Play in it. This eventually leads to the group discussing with Arcadum about periods and pregnancy in D&D after Madeline hugged a blood covered Terryn and wondering if she'll get an infection. Yes. Seriously.
• Revlis manages to catch one of the wisps to Silver's delight and with child-like enthusiasm, calls him "Shiny" and adores him, even when the Wisp shows no fondness towards her... Though a bit of Dragon weed from a drugged out Hokky does cool its temper.
  • Having already met the... dark conditions to make her Wisp a familiar, Shiny turns into a Veld, a small fairy creature... And things go spiralling out of control like with the period and pregnancy conversation when a clearly medicine-induced Mouse asks if he can use his transforming capabilities to turn into a dildo. Arcadum chooses not to answer this directly despite much asking.
  • Silver was about to have Shiny be completely naked... Until Arcadum notes that he'd have to put aside showing his butler outfit, which IMMEDIATELY gets Silver to change her mind. Mousey then wonders why Mezzle isn't wearing one, something Shiny would've made if time wasn't against them currently.
• Revlis is quick to fall in love with Shiny and claims he's lighting up her cold heart... Something the other girls didn't manage to do in the many days they spent together, apparently and despite the fact Shiny is simply doing his job in a gentlemanly fashion, on top of him literally being born that day.
  • Madeline/Bunny is quite keen on watching this development... To which Revlis/Silver accuses her of getting the hots for her fairy boyfriend from how interested she is, which she tries to deny... Though considering Madeline would have him kiss her mid-final battle, her worries prove to be warranted.
• Before the final battle, the group come across a giant stone with violet energy around it. Noticing some plants on it, Melody/Terryn very awkwardly notes Silver/Revlis has plants around her and asks if she's a plant. Many crack up with Silver and Mouse noting Melody is so cute. Mel sounds like she's tearing up in embarrassment when she responds to that.
  Terryn: I'm fearsome...!
• While the final battle of "Steel and Silence" against the Aphetic Indefatigable was largely serious, there were a few moments, as to be expected:
  • Melody/Terryn summoning Azeatec and briefly considering having him teleport her away from the battle, then instead ultimately has him strip down and perform an erotic dance for the enemy. After this, Azeatec caps off his brief appearance by flying away via a pelvic thrust. While the dance doesn't do anything to the enemy, it does provide Inspiration to the party, which actually proves useful later on.
  • While considering leaving, Zara threatens Terryn that she'll hunt her if they die and Terryn, herself, notes she'll need therapy to battle her guilt... But should one die to the Violet, they are permanently gone and forgotten. Melody points out with that, ''she'll have nothing to feel guilty for if she leaves and they die.''
    • Amazingly, after the battle is over, Madeline still wants to sleep with Terry despite her nearly running off!
  • Melody/Terryn going to retrieve Azeatec's discarded pants and putting them on... only to then take off her top instead. And then later, she reveals that she did that so that she could make her final act of the "Steel and Silence" campaign be to take off her pants again. Even funnier is that Arcadum had a good feeling this is what she was going to do when she was requesting to do one more thing before the campaign ended. Even funnier is that this was amidst the girls crying in joy that they got to play D&D and sadness that this was the end of their campaign.
