There are likely still people in Syngorn who think that Vox Machina, saviors of Tal'Dorei and destroyers of gods, are furries in a poly relationship. And that's hilarious.
... that they're the only ones who know the truth. 😜
I REEEEEEEEALLY hope they keep The Legend of Vox Machina running to the point we get to see this entire scene animated and acted out.
Some of the ancient records about them are certainly going to be... Interesting.
I mean, Grog was the only character that didn't end up in a romantic relationship with another member of the party at some point, so they weren't too far off 🙃
I mean, who's to say we aren't viewing it from a historian's perspective? Maybe the rumors were true
I find it fucking hilarious how Scanlan is the one who proposes the idea that Vox Machina is just a polyamorus gang and everyone just went with in full.
Perfect "Yes, and" energy lmao
The fact it got the guards off their backs a bit too made it better
@@Travisrogers87eh?
@Travisrogers87 Oh ? Really ? That’s funny considering they aren’t. This is why I hate fandoms
@@Travisrogers87 Ew ew ew ew ew, let's. Not speculate on people's real romantic lives that's just...really weird, and they obviously arent so...just, no.
if i had a nickel for every time liam’s goth character dragged travis’s buff character off with a line about how they’re totally going to fuck, i’d have two nickels
That isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice
When was the second time?
@@matakm8749 liev’tel to betrand
I think we can also consider that amazing scene with Fjord where Fjord thought Caleb wanted to fuck him XD
@@matakm8749 in a VM oneshot, where Liam’s character showed Travis’s the wisdom of the ages.
Keyleth having no idea what's going on and rolling with it is my personal favourite
Marisha is such an underrated comedian. I'm so glad she's getting to be more comedic as Laudna this campaign.
Yeah, it just is super perfect how Marisha did all that, and also how she had basically fucked with the guards from Syngorn with her going into a goose later on in addition to having turned Percy and Vax into squirrels XD
Keyleth being wise as fuck by not knowing what's going on, Beau being simultaneously the most well adjusted and least well adjusted member of the nine and Laudna's unmitigated excitement at all things creepy. All good reasons to believe that Marisha Ray is a fantastic DnD player. That and she takes outstanding notes.
@@LyraLyraPantsOnFyra THIS!
Context aside: I like that last shot of Grog headlocking Vax and saying "I'm gonna kill you later." The sibling energy is strong.
My favorite thing is keyleth was allowed to twin polymorph for a gag! 😂
Rule 4 of D&D: If it doesn't break the game, it's okay.
It's a wibbly wobbly faely wildly thing. 😁
Actually spells in the Feywild can be amplified in interesting ways so it could actually work this way...
Can't she do double concentration ?
@@Pluto137 I don't think she could twin spell, she could wildshape herself and still hold a polymorph on someone else because they are two spells and wildshape isn't concentration.
"PLEASE! GO! SLEEP!!" - I laughed at how Matt had the guard shout that to Scanlan, especially after the silliness with Keyleth turning Percy and Vax into squirrels, and then later on, when she does the goose thing! XD
"We may need you to clean up for us later."
I love when NPC’s look like Matt. It’s just satisfying
It’s even better in the tv show, where they have a recurring Matt Mercer elf character who gets humiliated and/or killed in every appearance. Like a mix of South Park’s Kenny and Avatar’s Cabbage Man.
@@Ajehy It is also kind of funny that Artagan (a godsdamned Archfey) is also modelled after Matthew Mercer. Which could imply that he's been watching the whole time and that his preferred form is that of a slightly less Fey-looking Elven twink version of himself. Which honestly, if I could choose my own physical form . . . fair enough.
@@Ajehyit's even better, because it's different Matt NPCs sometimes in different cities
This is the episode that is also known by "When Vox Machina doesn't give a crap about a city and goes 100% chaotic."
Love that the audience is absolutely there for it lol
"Thanks Grog"
"YEEAAAAAAAAAH WOOOOOOOOOOO"
I appreciate that you drew Percy squirrel with his glasses haha
Amusingly, he had the lenses but not the frames.
Also, Goose-leth had antlers.
Vex Vax Scan and Percy REALLY went for it and that’s the best part
Kyleth’s goose waddle has he in stitches
It is adorable for sure!
Would you say it's a loose waddle?
This episode HAD to have been a wet dream to everyone who shipped them with each other
I really hope that Vox Machina Animated series gets enough seasons till we get to this part. It'll be hilarious XD
I bet they have a list of scenes they have to fit into the show at some point; I just hope to the gods this one is high up on it
I mean it’s confirmed for a season 2 and this might just fit in season 2 or 3. I think we’ll get to this
@@ikariiprince I think the next season's going to be about a Dragon apocalypse, but Season 3 might be about messing with Elves
@@konahrikb1578 That makes two of us I really need to see this happening
@@konahrikb1578 this scene happens during the dragon apocalypse
the best D&D parties are the ones who can say they're poly half-joking except the bard who's gauging everyone's reactions
Finally... someone has animated this scene!
I love the bit with Grog being pulled in by Vax.
Also, I wonder whom they're going to cast for Garmelie in the animated series?
Billy Boyd was the perfect choice!
God damnit, I just understood the Polymorph joke.
Knowing what we know now about garmelie makes this so much better
What do we know about garmelie? Sorry, I haven't watched the show.
@@ANullAssault Don't ruin it for yourself by asking then, it's a big spoiler. Watch the show and find out!
@@ANullAssault you have to watch it, sorry. No spoilers.
He's a recurring character in multiple campaigns, that's about all we can say. Any further details and we'd be letting chaos reign.
@@ANullAssault Since no one else actually wants to answer you and instead wants you to watch a program thats hundreds if not thousands of hours long, Garmelie is actually Artagan, a minor deity from the Feywild known as The Traveler. He's basically a god just fuckin around with humans for his own amusement
I love how the players take it so far like they're gonna derail the session and Mercer, with an NPC, kicks it up a notch. What a professional.
This was hilarious to watch, I've never watched the actual campaign but after watching the Amazon show and these animatics, I know I'm missing out lol should definitely watch it now
The Animated series is Genuinely Awesome but the Campaigns are even better. Much more detail, subtlety, and room to explore concepts. Its the eternal Book Vs Movie debate, even the best adaptations cut great things out. and it's 4 + hours into 20 minutes lol.
Honestly, I feel like campaign 1 has even more animate-worthy scenes than campaign 2 or 3 and am so glad to see it getting some love. You definitely should watch campaign 1
I would suggest skipping the first 27 episodes, maybe just read the summary and pick up at the Briarwood Arc that starts around 24 if I remember it correctly. So start with 28, read the summary for at least 24 to 27 and then have fun. There is a really... Let's say problematic person in the first 27 episodes who got kicked out and never mentioned again for a good reason and honestly you're not missing out too much the craighammer arc is... Okay. If you're interested in more Guillermo, Allura and Lady Kima backstory then watch it, but for anything else meh. Just read the summary
@@alleskunst5747 Lol I think you meant Gilmore, not Guillermo.
Also I wouldn't skip 27 episodes just because of Orion, the Briarwood arc starts episode 24 If you absolutely must skip the first, admittedly rougher arc in order to get into the show, he really drags one particular episode out very annoyingly then you never see him again. I think he's gone by ep 28. But you shouldn't skip the set up for the Briarwood arc, no matter how annoying Orion is lol.
You'll miss all of Percy's first backstory elements and how the initial confrontation _Actually_ goes because it's different than the animation. Percy's rage is much colder and more calculated in the campaign initially and it's an interesting change. There are real differences both large and subtle and people should NOT rely on the animation when watching the Campaign. It's great but it's not the same.
Also Episode 26 "Consequences and Cows" is a classic! Telling people to skip that is steering them wrong. The amount of inside jokes made from the events of this episode alone makes it worth it.
And you miss a lot of lore and worldbuilding and NPC interactions and fun shenanigans with the cast when you skip the first episodes so you're actually really wrong about that. I'm not saying they're not rough, they are, but there's a lot of good stuff in there.
i recommend the "So You Want to Start Watching Critical Role" video by "
SupergeekMike" to dice whether to watch episode 1 or skip to 27.
I had no idea this scene was a thing, what a marvelous discovery
I know I'm late to the party here but at 3:08 , Vax's derpy/smart-ass face just makes me laugh so hard. Thanks for turning this scene into an animatic, I'll be sure to rewatch this plenty of times when I'm feeling down and need a boost of laughing.
I honestly believe this is 1 of those scenes that caught Mercer by surprise at the direction it took
it wouldve been perfect if liam said something about walking with a limp i wouldve laughed my ass off, this scene is great
Vax, stretching his arms, walking with a limp: Wow, guys, I tell you, Grog is great, but I don't think I'll be able to sit properly after Percy, whoo boy, that man is packed!
Percy, stepping out: *throws his hands in the air, completely done with everyone*
@@sophieknowles4876 OK BUT HE ABSOLUTELY WOULD THO
Wonder what the guards thought of the fact that the twins were both a part of this wonderful polyamorous situation
I mean, they are kind of royalty. Not too far fetched from an outsider view
@@captainbirch2.079 HHHHHHHhhhhhhhhAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa
@@olivernavas4569 I mean historically speaking atleast incest was not exactly uncommon among royalty or noble houses. Got to keep all the power and money etc where it is afterall.
@@Noobie2k7 yeah I know that
they can just stay on opposite sides of the room
Liam’s sense of timing is SO good. 😂😂😂
Grog is the ultimate top.
I feel he would be a soft Dom
@@herewegoagain4033 true! He’s caring.
Vax is a power bottom.
I would like to rage
@@kalebb1226 no
I love the frame of the disturbed guards, lmao
“Thanks grog”
Jesus Christ man.
Please, for the love of all that is good in this world, tell me this is going in the Amazon Prime adaptation if they make a second season.
We all know that Vox Machina were boning.
Of course Keyleth was the one to crank it up to a whole different level of weird. A half elven goth assassin domming an 8ft tall goliath barbarian? Par for the course. That happening while the antler crowned druid is turning people into animals?... That's Vox Machina for you I guess :D
I would like to imagine Artagan made up some interesting details about this for Jester
Those guards aren’t getting paid enough 🤣🤣🤣
This animation is EVERYTHING I wanted from this scene.
We need more of this ridiculous dirty shit in the animated series. Give us a hot springs episode between seasons, lol. I love when like half the group just set aside their usual dispositions to get in on the sex jokes, lol.
This quickly became my favorite animatic.
That Shit Eating Grin Of Vax. So Perfect. XD
Makes me so happy people are finally watching Campaign One
it's unfortunate they couldnt find a way to fit this into the animated series 😢
The series isn't over yet, and they haven't held fast to continuity of when things happened in game.
1:04 *furious drawing*
google disappointed me. does bing give me more juicier pics? or do the fujin not really like this pairing.
@@kariissmol9172 if you really want to find it, make sure you have save search turned off.
@@Little_Miss_Carrex i mean, it always is turned off. Why should it be on in the first place
This is just hilarious. Love your work!
Like how Keyleth just makes it worse by making them into squirrels.
the laugh and cheer tracks really got me 😂😂😂
They aren't just tracks, that episode happened to be done in front of a massive crowd!
I hope they keep this moment in the animated series. It will be gold.
That episode was incredible! Great animation 😍
There is a reason why I refer to player characters as "Omnisexual Disaster Hobos"
I had one OOC ace shapeshift into a peacock to do the WAP challenge while the other OOC ace chased them and asked the rules to put a peacock into a WWE torture rack of pain (tm)...
while the rest of the party was laughing (Note, this was in response to introducing a character that my ENTIRE party of players apparently want to bang. Be a damn shame if, things happen, to said NPC).
This is the same crew that the sorc shapeshifted the barb into a dolphin and they asked me to rule on the barb holding his axe in his mouth, raging while the sorc picked him up by the tail to wield him in a barfight that came from a wildsurge...
Omni
sexual
disaster
hobos
I love it! I'll need to remember this term for the future.
Okay seriously show of likes, who else hopes that this scene is included in the third season of The Legend of Vox machina?
0:33 "We all sleep together it' a Polyamorous thing" **Proceeds to wink at camera**
This is my #1 favourite episode of all time. I’m so happy to finally see an animatic of it! Well done!
Gormeli just *pop* into existence
Keeping the glasses on Squirrel Percy was amazing 🤣🤣🤣
I cannot wait for season 2.
season 2 of legend of vox machina shaping up weird XD
I really hope this part makes it into the new show! I would love that!
1:42 Favorite frame
Wonderful job! It was so much fun to re-experience this hilarity with your artwork.
The elven guard looks EXACTLY like my elf wizard from when I first played 5e, it's making this video even more enjoyable for me xD
So I started with C2 but am nearly done with that so I’ve been going through C1 to break it up. It occurs to me….that the nein is no an isolated incident of a chaotic group…it’s entirely the fault of the player! Lol. Anyway, I loved this. The animation is great and made me laugh even more than the original source!
the first time i watched that episode i was immediatelly uncomfortable when the animal stuff started. turns out its still makes me feel that way.
I think I will use the lines Vax said to Grog next time I'm on a date
Kayleth is freaky.
They've done this in both campaigns
I'm half convinced this is 1 of those times they take Mercer by surprise XD
i really hope this makes it into the show.
Best way to get privacy, make them not want to know.😂
You are a hero for animating this, thank you.
I really hope this scene makes it into the animated series.
Definitely gonna make it into the show
Thinking that the line "What is my life right now..." was more Matt than the guard.......
They really need to animate this scene in the actual cartoon when it gets to this point in the show.
I don't remember this and now I need to look up the eps
Well ep 60 as the title says. It was the first live show
When Keyleth turns them into squirrels it gets both worse and better at the same time?
i hope this bit finds its way into the show someway or another i think really funny
That episode had me crying fr
I really want this scene in the animated series!!!!!
Garmelie: was that true?
P.F.V.M.K.D.R.3: ...no
CR cast: perhaps
CR fans: YES!
I'm so sad we didn't get poly machina animated😭
aw this didnt get in? damn
@@flairthedark6000 I’m hoping they will incorporate the joke somewhere else, but idk if it’ll happen
Just like in #Oxventure - 'you marry one of us, you marry _ALL_ of us!'
Reminder that Garmili is Artagan
Her little waddle is so cute!
this better be in the show xD
i wont say im not a little disappointed this wasnt addapted into the legend of vox machina, i mean they had to cut something, and they didnt have the full party in the fey, but still. here's hoping, if they do a Bells Hells series (B"H) that they keep in the bawdy basement antics
i love the keyleth bit lmao
I’m laughing so much I couldn’t breathe for a second 😂
fuckin artagan was there- of course he was
I completely forgot about this!
this HAS to come up in the cartoon!
OK, this one left me in tears OK🤣
This animatic was drawn in front of a live studio audience.
A goose is a very disturbing choice with what they've been implying, tbh. Have you seen goose tongues?
Any long enough running Adventurers Party begins to blur this line tbh.
Squirrel Percy looks so grumpy
Who thinks Vox Machina should meet Rat Queens?
Just another part i really want to see get fully animated on the show.
I mean it is Scanlan saying this, so.....
Hope this is in the show 🤣🤣🤣
I have no idea why their dad is ashamed of them.
IM SO EXCITED TO SEE THIS EPISODE OH MY GODS
