If Ripley could hear through the gun, she must have went partially deaf every time they went into combat
We can only hope
Ripley: *WHAT*
She should talk louder than Lil John.
I thought the same thing.
“hmmmm I wonder what they’re up to” *BANG* *BANG* “AAAAAAAAAHHOUCH”
vox machina: makes a plan
the plan: does not fall apart
me: holy shit??
Holy shit a plan actually went BETTER than expected.
Well Mighty Nein spend hours (irl) planning... And we all saw how that went (Ep.26)
Happened to our group one time. Well, it didn't go *perfect*, the city ended up burned a bit more than expected, but it worked well enough! We were all very surprised that day.
@@Dramon8888 we had a two week break. We planed the whole time. It was perfect. Until a single crit fail on a stealth roll....
They killed the crew people who were just there to operate the ship...
I love how one by one, Travis, Laura, and Liam all just broke when they saw the "You Spice?" on the bottom of Sam's mug at 32:57.
I had missed that one loool
I keep rewatching just for Liam lmao.
I hadn't noticed thanks for pointing that out haha!
I literally just saw this as the moment happened
I was listening, not watching, when they lost it. I had to go back because I was worried I missed something since I didnt hear what causes the laughter... then I saw it and watching their reaction was SOOOO much better!
“The Palace is going to be paying for this charter.”
*meanwhile across the city*
Vax: Sister...you’re crying. What’s wrong.
Vex: I...I just am so happy. And I don’t know why.
That moment was so good! just
"Wait. You saw J'Mon Sa Ord were given something?"
"Yes."
*Laughs* "Let me see this." *laughs while handed object, turns it over, goes pale* "Very well. Um. Uuuummm... We're going to go ahead... You let me know the price and uh the palace is going to be paying for this expedition..."
Just... YESS!!
"Others too will be drawn to the search.. beware"
These were some of the last words from the sphinx
DM hints often get overlooked
Klespyrian I mean, they should’ve killed Ripley while she was at her most vulnerable.
big oof
She was probably listening to that conversation
@@whiteamericanmale7392 what is wrong with you?
There needs to be a one shot sooner or later with Scanlan returning to the Casino, Ocean's Eleven style.
If I lost 600 Gold like the way Scanlan did, I would want to do that too.
Yes please!
"Debt's Runners"
Ocean's Elven
@@Laoruperteen18 how do you only have one like?
God I love the quiet despair with which Matt realises Liam’s maths checks out and he has indeed allowed a rogue to fly 500ft per round
And this is why you playtest these things.
Except the whole thing was based on flawed logic. Boots of haste specifically say they double "walking speed", not "movement", "distance", "flying speed", or "swim speed". So since he has a flying speed of 60, he can use his movement for 60 feet, action to dash for 60 feet, hasted action to dash for 60 feet, and bonus action dash for 60 feet. That's only 240 feet, fellas.
@@ironrose6
The out the box Boots of Haste. Remember that these guys originally came over from Pathfinder, and a heavily homebrewed version at that. I dunno the Boots of Haste in Pathfinder, but it could easily have been homebrewed at some point to be doubled speed in general.
@@ironrose6 Vax's boots definitely are a homebrew item, and they allow the wearer to be under the effects of the Haste spell for 1 minute. The Haste spell in 5e, among giving other bonuses, specifies that it "doubles the target's speed", so yes it would work for flying speed. Vax got them in their original pathfinder home game, so they're not from any of the 5e books
I continue to wish they'd do the math on Wind Walk's speed correctly, unfortunately I remain stubbornly unable to cast 9th level spells in this reality...
"you're not that ugly, she just meant that to hurt your feelings. ...but you are a piece of shit."
keyleth is a fucking blessing
Taleisin gets SO RED when they discover Ripley has been using his gun against them. YIKES!
And probably was even more pissed at Scanlan for destroying his original one so that he had to switch to hers in the first place.
@@ScorchHellfire To be fair, the old one was going to be equally problematic in the long run
@@ParadoxicWasHere "the long run" is a good name for a replacement gun
Technically, it’s her gun, so it’s all fair for her to use her gun against them.
@@vraiman16 It might be her gun that hes using, but the one she has been using to get Cabal's Ruin as well as the one Percy stole from her are a result of her reproducing the very first gun that Percy had invented and tried to kill her with before he got locked up and met Vox Machina. If Percy had never created the gun to begin with, Ripley never would have made her own gun and would never have used it to make Vox Machina's life so difficult.
Just the fact how fast they left the airship is impressive....
Within probably 10 seconds, Vax grows wings and picks up keyleth, just to drop a huge rock seconds later, Scanlan polymorphs Grog into a giant eagle that immediately darts off and Vex jumps off the ships deck, pulling out a broom, flying off and Percy just shoots a guy in the head
That has to be fucking impressive for the crew
Asmaron I picture the avengers all charging together at the beginning of age of ultron
Ì don't know why, but for some reason, I just imagined everyone jumping of and percy jist standing on the ship, and randomly shooting a crew member in the head
@@privatizitat815 YES
@@privatizitat815 Why do I imagine the stereotypical AimBot meme with that description.
Like, scoped in a slightly different location, and then suddenly... POW! With just him snapping to the head without any reasonable way to know he was there.
This is funny to me.
And then Kili basically water bending-surfing on the water......gah this whole scene was epic
“For the first time you see a crack in scan-“
Tal and Liam: W H E E Z E
Keyleth: "Go forward."
Captain: "What?"
Keyleth: "Into the storm. Trust me."
Captain: "Okay..." (steers forward)
Keyleth (makes the enormous storm dissipate all around them)
Captain: "Okay, I see your point."
Because she's done it several times before I was worried her solution was going to be "I throw up a gust cantrip to keep the water off us"
It seems that Trinket now has the right to bear arms.
Amara Lundy awesome
Wonderful
But vox machina have to right to arm a bear
Ill never be able to unhear Trinket having a southern drawl now...
Well...he already has bear arms.
The group: Bay of Gifts?
Sam/Scanlon: It's pronounced "Bay of Jifs".
Matt, as Treev: I'm gonna F***ing f*** you!"
I think that was Liam, actually. He's done it before in an earlier video; I think he enjoys harassing Matt with it.
What was the time stamp on that, please.
@@vampiremage2 59:00
It was Scanlan. He made a face and everything
okay, Liam set Sam up by asking, "Bay of GIFs?!" right after Matt said, "Bay of GIFTs."
Honestly in a way Keyleth’s comment that “you’re not THAT ugly” is more scathing than Vex’s original “you’re ugly” comment because Vex is obviously just trash talking, but Keyleth is being honest and trying to be nice but still doesn’t deny that she’s at least somewhat ugly
Marisha during C1: "omg why is it always INT checks"
Marisha during C2: "omg why is it never INT checks"
My favorite part about going back and watching these episodes over and over again is seeing the exact points in the past that informed the characters they would create in future campaigns.
Does anyone else just expect Taliesin to say natural twenty after every roll?
they monitor the roll of each other, he coulnd't be cheating nat 20's
I think he was more referring to Taliesin's extraordinary luck with dice rolls. He's had some pretty good streaks.
I was hoping that when he was gambling, with the roll 2d6 game, that he would roll his 2d6 then look up and say natural 20.
I mean, the point was to get 7 or 12, and he immediately got a 7, so close enough.
Yes
Well, a fiend with a gun
Stole the Vestige you sought
Had its bearer unjustly slain
Yet an ally is won
Through a battle hard-fought
So your journey was not in vain
Now your time here is done
Such a shame, it's been fun
And the fate of your land looks bright
So be pleased, and farewell
Say goodbye, Ank'Harel
'Til another Marquetian night
Marquetian nights
And Marquetian kings
With draconic might
Take off, and take flight
On brass gilded wings
Marquetian nights
Like Marquetian days
More often than not
Are hotter than hot
In a lot of good ways
Bless you
This is great! But... I have to be THAT guy... J'Mon Sa Ord is a brass dragon, not bronze.
Dan Kearney
Much appreciated, THAT guy. :)
I couldn't recall offhand which it was and didn't have time to dig around to confirm. Fortunately it's an easy fix. Thanks!
Truly a wonderful little poem

Keyleth totally wins the MVP award for this episode. She was basically a Swiss army knife of magical effects that suited the situations perfectly.
She's easily the most powerful member of Vox Machina, and had she been on her game more often she probably would have carried them through the entire campaign. As it happened though she ended up just turning into beasts most of the time.
I like the character way better now than even like 15 episodes ago
I'm usually on the keyleth hate train, but she 💯% did the heavy lifting in the air
Im only 30 min in right now, but I don't think she realizes how fast her wind walk spell is...
300 feet every 6 seconds (not including dash)
=
50 feet per second
=
3000 feet per min
=
Thats basically 34 miles an hour, in 8 hours they can travel almost 275 miles in a day...
Dnd says you can travel 24 miles in a day (8 hours of actual travel)
If they can make the mountain in two days they could mist form there in like 5 hours...
They could probably easily mist form to the island of glass in 8 hours...
@@mschaidle1134 if they can find it in 8 hours that is. But you'll realise in a few hours why that plan'd fail
"Oh no, I'm a deep believe in insurance fraud." There's been a lot of great Percy quotes, but this is my favorite
I was pulling pallets at work and started laughing at that comment. Couldn't properly explain the comment and laughing to my co-workers and looked really weird.
VEX: "You're a piece of shit. You're ugly."
KEYLETH: "You're not that ugly. She just meant that to hurt your feelings."
GROG: "Don't soften the blow. She's a piece of shit."
KEYLETH: "...But you are a piece of shit."
I think its the first line from Keyleth i truly liked so far, good wit there
Percy: "I never write my things down."
Back Blaze: 'Percy always makes back ups of his designs!"
ShadowAxon bottom left it is there a bout one hour there is a picture of Percy with a quote "your sole may be forfeit but your data doesn't have to be
Boring Von Carstien 1:00:14
It's at 2:59:30 They've been cycling the character endorsements all episode.
Percy: "i never write my things down..."
Also percy: "im gonna draw some more sketches, make sure to burn it..."
Wah?
He clearly write his stuff down. he's done it many times throughout the campaign. you've seen it happen.
I guess backblaze is more trustworthy than Percy is.
Percy is a bigger hypocrite and keyleth is. For all the Keyleth hate.
I don't hate either one of them though I love all these characters.
“Your soul may be forfeit, but your information doesn’t have to be.”
When I saw that pop up on the video, my immediate reaction was: "It's so cheesy! Please tell me that Taliesin didn't make that up. It's worse than 'life needs things to live.'" xD
I've got to say, I absolutely love the way that Taliesan plays Percy as the man who's greatest regret is bringing firearms into the world.
Shades of Dr. Oppenheimer in him. "Now am I become Death, the destroyer of worlds"
@@spshouppe I was thinking the same thing.
im pretty sure taliesin has sited oppenheimer as a direct inspiration for the character of percy
Honestly I think it is funny. Because compared to a wand of magic missile Percy's gun is not that dangerous. One wand of magic missile can clear an entire room of commoners in seconds. Guns are not that great of a threat compared to your average wizard too. Like "this creation will end so many lives" while wizards are like "lmao let's make this stick explode people you point it at"
@@wizardswordfish5875 Yes, but the issue with guns, even in a fantasy world, is that ANYONE can use one and it IS deadly weapon against other common people. He basically made a a weaker wand of missiles, but rather than just powerful spellcasters using them, it's EVERYONE.
Transport via plants + scry seems to have broken the game, Mercer is sending them to every treeless terrain he can think of: tundra, desert, ocean.
A little late but If I had to GM a game with this much travel. I would go insane. The whole reason that I slow down travel in my games is to give myself at least a moment to prepare. Even if they change directions mid travel I'd still get at least 20/30 minutes of minor prep instead of 10 minutes of no prep. Honestly I'm impressed that he's able to keep up.
Throw in the game cheats called Dust of Tracelessness in infinite supply, and Rope of Infinity or whatever it's exactly called. Only thing they both do is make players lazy and unresourseful.
They could've used plain shift to go to Syngorn on the Feywild. Then used plane shift once more to go to Isle of Glintshore on the Material Plane.
I think that the most balanced method of instant travel is the wizard's teleportation circle and the spell teleportation because it can easily go wrong even with a scry. And teleportation circle is limited to usually highly developed city areas so the party may be able to get closer instantly for one slot less. It still affords the dm prep time.
@@theprisonerofthegoldenhead4030 Transport via plants as well actually as you have to see the tree in person to normally use it.
Matt is the cutest man acting as a bear I've ever seen
Jarett: "If you're going to steal, make sure you can definitely get away with it"
Scanlan: "I'll steal some stuff and leave my shit on the walls."
It’s not like they have DNA identification, right? Granted, said shit spelled out one of his known aliases.
@@thesuperbslidewhistler312 You mean an alias that he has had at that point for less than 24 hours.
@@ignisshadowflame1027 And known at the time only by shady characters anyway, so...

...Scrying
Uh oh.
@@kjj26k OMG, imagine scrying on someone's shit 💀
I gave a little smile when I realized the little halfling in the crew was the one that Vox Machina let live from the raiding party all those years ago.
I say years, but actually I saw that episode less than a month ago.
That acually happened a Couple months ago in game aswell
@@huskycat2453 More than that: this is episode 67; I'm pretty sure their prior skyship experience was Skyward - episode 15.
@@rudewalrus5636 but after that they just did the trails take, and whitestone and shiat went dwon with dragons... I would incline myself to think at most 4-5 months passed.
@@yandrak3935 according to the timeline on the wiki, its a difference of day 11 to day 108. So nearly 90 days exactly.
1:04:22
Percy: Do you want to stay here for an hour or would you rather go outside and talk to someone about a giant flying boat?
Grog: The last one.
Im dying
Ha yes! Another amazing moment.
Dominick Quinn It's moment like that Travis seems to enjoy being Grog the most besides in combat
ever since Travis did his first butchering of “be pleased” I thought “meep meep” would be perfect. thanks for making this happen.
Its hilarious that they almost gave the pixies venomous tea.
Poisonous* - "Venom" is when the harmful substance is delivered via fangs, stingers or such. "Poison" is when it's inhaled, ingested, absorbed or such.
@@TheChiliconkarmaI mean, it is the Feywild, maybe the tea is, in fact, venomous! 😆
@@Toothless314i hate when my tea bites back lol
Funny thing, if you go back and watch that scene, Percy and Vex mime drinking the tea they prepared. I think Matt just didn't notice, but it would have been hillarious.
I love seeing consequences for allowing a villain to live rather than killing them. It makes the story and stakes more realistic
In my campaign I accidentally ran a situation similar to season 2 circus. My party let the devil live. Note in my campaign the devil was purely their to just make a show and escape his responsibilities in the nine hells. They burned the poor devils circus down and the devil is after my party. Reoccurring villains is so fun to manipulate and use mainly when they are able to be anywhere and everywhere without the party knowing.
Keyleth retroactively wins the Cannonball Contest.
I so want Pike to take a level of Barbarian when she levels up. I just want to hear her say, "I would like to rage!"

When you realize Matt has been trolling Sam the entire time 🤣
Me: "Why can't you remember something so simple?! It just happened!"
Me 10 seconds later: "Oh, right, it's been 6 hours for my binge-watching bum and 3+ weeks for them."
This is me ALL the time
😄
My opinion of Keyleth keeps improving. She seems to be using her full caster spellcasting more effectively ever since they stopped using her 4th level spell slots to get a bear around.
I know I am replying to an old comment, but I totally agree. I also appreciate (even when she messes up) she she tries to use her spells in creative (positive creative, not game-breaking) ways. It has inspired me to super learn my own spells to try to think of fun & helpful ways to use them.
Kate D yeah! I agree. Glad to see some Keyleth appreciation as well :)
She has been improving greatly the last 5 episodes. Which makes me happy because she has so much potential.
About time she pulled her weight.
@@deathless12345678 except that moment in this episode where she was acting completely normal during a conversation, and then when the conversation ended, she was suddenly a fucking drunken idiot.
The fact that Sam put "You Spice?" on the bottom of the giant tankard is the best.

@@xFlareLeon yes
An omen of things to come...
Sam/Scandlan's story in this 'arc' has been a master class in giving a player/character a failure by letting them succeed.
Sam didn't role low at any point during his 'drug deal', but still all that success was for nought, and lead him down a story progression that worked with his character. At any point he could have corrected it himself. He could have started by looking for it in the normal market, but no, he went in on the impression that it was a drug, and got player tunnel vision which Mat exploited.
The Higher Sam rolled, the more confident he got, which sucked him in more and more. His tunnel vision clouded any sense of misgivings, and then blam! He's out of 400 gold, and the con men got their easy mark.
Sam's rolls of Over 30s on some of his checks should have meant he was going to be walking away smug and pretty, but DM just let player be player, and twisted that success into glorious failure.
This is what happens when your deception abilities get to high. Even you begin to believe your own stories.
Scanlan succeeded very very well at what he was TRYING to do, buy some Fusaka from shady characters. And Sam was great at keeping the player knowledge of "this is probably not a drug" out of play. Because heck, the 400 gold is just a number on a piece of paper, and it's very funny to his friends and viewers if Scanlan gets totally scammed.
@@drizzt102 this might be the wisest thing ive ever read in a youtube comments section
Amazingly put man 😂
High charisma, low wisdom. Scanlan has always been a bit of a buffoon, but a lovable one.
Sam: put it in the bag of holding, a pocket dimension that can't be scryed on
Everyone: nah bro we'll have the bear sit on it 🤷
Right?
TBF who wants a face full of Bear butt?
I love how Taliesen's face went beet red after Marisha's revelation about his gun.
"And she can sleep with any barbarian she wants." Lol
BatmanFan22 A twinge of jealousy here. Lucky girl!
So Ashley, then. ;)
spoilers
Oddly nothing new but still TMI at the same time
I loved the Battle Royal One-Shot they did cause Ashley/Pike GOT to be the Monster she's been wanting to be.
I love how Grog is the least intelligent character but always has the most common sense; “how will we tell where she is relative to us in a giant body of water?”
It is interesting, specially when the group comes with convoluted ideas and he just throws the simplest ideas that works and people are like 'damn Grog, that's pretty smart'.
The thing is that Travis has a decent sense of the game overall. Probably the best of the group, at least from what I'm seeing in season 1. It's just that he's playing a barely sapient character, so he doesn't have much he can contribute aside from the occassional common sense when the group is overcomplicating something very simple.
Somethign something simplest option is the answer?
He is not smart enough to over think a problem or idea
He does have a decent wisdom

Also if they would have drunk it would have been brilliant... it might harm people, but it probably would kill a pixie

“VOX MACHINA, ROLL OUT!” Percy shouts, setting up Bad News over the side of the ship. Trinket stands up behind him in full battle armor and roars. Vex, wooping and running towards the side of the ship, pokes Trinket with her necklace, throws her broom out in front of her, then leaps off the side of the ship, pulls out her witch hat, and holds it onto her head with one hand as she lands on the broom and takes off. At the same time, Grog responds to Trinket’s roar with one of his own, then he and Scanlan (best friends forever), smiling broadly, sprint towards the side of the ship. Grog, faster than Scanlan, gets there first and gives a mighty leap. As he does so, Scanlan snaps his fingers, and in mid-leap Grog turns into a giant eagle, giving a piercing eagle battle cry. Scanlan gives a hearty laugh as he leaps off the side of the ship, landing on Grog’s eagle form, and they take off. Meanwhile, Keyleth wraps her arms around Vax. He grins at her over his shoulder like the cool guy he is, and then PHOOMF! The black raven wings furl out to their full wingspan, in all their impressive glory. Keyleth gives Vax a peck on the cheek, and they take off.
This is just the scene that I played out in my head after taking liberties with their descriptions of what was going on :) I love the Avengers feel. Imagine multiple camera angles, some from below the ship, as everyone is wooping and hollering and haphazardly jumping off the side of the ship. SUCH AN AWESOME EPISODE/SHOW!
HOW HAS NOBODY DRAWN THIS!?!?
How is this not the title sequence for the second half of the campaign?
VOX MACHINA!!!!
I want this as an animated intro A++
One fluid shot, like the Battle of New York at the end of the first Avengers movie. Camera swooping and zooming and panning.
Ps I just nutted
I just adore when Vex insights Scanlan.
"You're not that ugly, she just said that to hurt your feelings." Keyleth is sweet, literally to a fault.
She still called Ripley a POS though
@@unicornburger16 Yeah,s o there's that! XD
You don't have to be ugly to be ugly
For anyone wondering, when vax is flying hasted, and takes a triple dash, he moves at a total (120 feet x 3 dash "actions" in a turn). 60 feet per second. (360 feet over 6 seconds) This maths out to roughly *40 miles per hour.* (65.8 kph).
He has become bullet.
Dont forget that he can use the extra action he gets from Haste to Dash as well, for a quadruple dash, making it a ridiculous 480 ft in 6 seconds, or roughly 55 mph. Gotta go fast 😂
I made a character that can get 960 feet in 6 seconds so Vax is still on the tame side for speed.
So he's twice as fast as an unladen swallow
Not quite a bullet - a .45 (which is a fairly slow bullet) is about 575 mph. A 9mm is around 800 mph. Not quite a bullet, but still stunningly fast.
@@Ailieorz That depends. African or European?
One day, I want to be watching an excellent, Lord of the Rings-esque plain fantasy movie, and when the innkeep tells the adventurers where to go, I want them to all start taking notes and repeating back the names to be sure they've got it right. Just once. It'll be glorious.
here from 2023, may I present to you the soon-to-be-released Dungeons and Dragons movie
Or, you could just watch The Gamers. That is really what you're looking for :)
Keyleth can sometimes seem not so powerful in battles, but this is truly her episode. She's controlling storms, making the airship go faster, becoming a keytheor, waterskiing... Love to see how awesome druids can be
I’m still cracking up at “The Meat Man Cometh”
I think with Keyleth's scry on a storm lashed Ripley, the magical parting of the thunderheads for the airships safe passage, and the epic destruction of Ripely's ship, this was one of the most cinematic episodes yet! I absolutely love the way Matt weaves these stories. Also, Keyleth for MVP!
YESSS! I think my favorite was when Keyleth dropped elemental form and could freely swim up the hole she had created, past all the destruction she had caused. That would be an awesome underwater scene, I hope someone draws that.
Actually, there is artwork. You'll have to search for it.
except control weather doesn't work the way they did it and they should have been assaulted by the storm for awhile before it took effect. Matt did what he always does and applied some plot armor to keep the story going
free2breathe or since the books of dnd says the dm has final say on all rules there was no plot armor that's just how it works in his game under his rules.
Art Against Anxiety except I'm pretty sure he didn't change it he usually says if he does. Matt usually follows the spells as written. But Marisha mixes up spells partly because druids have alot of them and Matt tries not to penalize her for messing them up
I fucking wish I could see Ripley's face when they were talking shit to her through the gun(If it actually picks up audio EDIT: which it does) LMAO!!!
There's an fanart bout it twitter.com/alienfirst/status/776666483808100353 :D
Camolatte oh shit! thank you XD
I felt for Matt, he probably spent ages making those other games and really wanted them to try them in the Casino
Nah there's a treasure trove of resources of games people have made. You just pick your faves and adjust a little bit.
@@laurens.6940 Cee Lo would be a really fun game to add to your dnd casino. It's rounds are like a minute long and you only need three d6.
You should check it out, a surprisingly fun game.
(Reaction thread)
Honestly, Grog-and-Scanlan adventures are some of my favourite parts of this series. Of COURSE Grog couldn't resist ringing the bell, even when it was clear they had someone's attention already.
First Vax and Kashaw, now Vex and Damon. Scanlan is clearly the best matchmaker, who knows /exactly/ what his friends and allies want.
This is an interesting side to Percy as an inventor. I think a lot of innovators struggle with the idea that their work can be used for evil, as well as good.
I like that Treev's enchantment guy seemed really incompetent, but actually knew his stuff. He's like the opposite of that guy at the Crystal Chateau.
I love how comfortable Keyleth seems with her and Vax's relationship now; how easily she seems to have fit into it. Grabbing onto him when the ship lists, blowing him a kiss before going Keyteor. They're really frickin' cute.
The image of them approaching the beach/trees - Grog the eagle carrying Scanlan, Vex in her witch hat, Vax speeding through the air carrying Percy, and Keyleth coming up like a water skier with no boat - is really entertaining.
It's pretty cool how when Sam read that the ship was named "The Shrew" Laura nudged Liam there and they shared a grin as it seemingly was a little bit of a nod to the one shot that he did.
TBF they new the name of the ship I think before the one shot, but that might be why Liam used "The Shrew" as a character name
@@baseballjustin5 thanks for the spoilers asshole
@@whiteamericanmale7392 Take it easy man. These have been out for years. I'm watching for the first time through myself. Word of advice...don't read the comments until after the episode and watch everything in order including the one shots. Campaign one is all well past the standard spoiler rule.
@@whiteamericanmale7392 username checks out
Well, you can't really call it a spoiler. The name of the boat was known from another episodes already and in the oneshot it's one of the first things you learn about their mission 😅
For the entire first part, every time Matt says "secret tunnel" I start singing... in the mountain secret secret secret secret tunnel! Yeah!
justmemy1banana I just hear the lady from Nacho Libre.
"I forrrgive you."
Always, always, always.
you... are what is known to me as a quality human! very nice!
side note: "oh i remembered that part of the song, '*strum* and DIIIIIIIIIIEE"
"Nobody react to what i'm about to say... But i think that boy might be the avatar!"
*"facepalm"*
Watching Matt listen to the party hash out their different options is amazing. Hes like a super computer running variables trying (and succeeding) to plan out how their decisions will impact them now and in the future.
🙂
32:34 "Are You genuinely... afraid of her?" " YES. Very much so." "...Oh." That exchange with Gog really started to drive home to me how bad the next episodes might get for everyone. That woman really was up there with all the dragon confrontations.
And there was a wonderful whisper moment months beforehand when they were in Vasselheim and Percy went to Victor's, learned that Victor sold a dozen barrels of gunpowder, and then went to the Raven Queen.
I love how Travis actually went red from how hard he was laughing at the Indala thing.
Late to the party but unashamed of my ignorance: what am I missing here? Is the word itself significant or was it just the way Sam sang it?
@@PhilBoswell Listen to Ying yang twins - shake. It'll make sense
@@PhilBoswellHere's the actual original music source

The amount of flirting between Laura and Travis in this episode is insane. I love them so much.
They obviously has themselves a good time that afternoon (Travis's comment at the beginning about Vex being to sleep with barbarians whenever she wants says enough) and it just spilled over into the game. Honestly, don't mind it at all lol.
Laura is so cute (physically and personality). Travis is so lucky
'it wasn't me! It was a one-armed woman!' damn...the things D&D can make come to life xD is why i love this game
"Can I just make, sort of a physiological check of his mouth shape?" - Died of laughter watching that!
Whatever you guys do, no reading comments next episode. Just... don't.
Canadian Ninja seconded!!!
Thanks for the heads up
Are they anti-Keyleth comments, or spoilers?
Canadian Ninja thanks!
I'll take your word for it and I thank you.
Also I'd love to see Sigourney Weaver stop by and play as Ripley.
This thought made my day more than I care to admit
maybe she could be in the animated series
Oh damn, that is EXACTLY who I saw as Ripley, and I didn't even realize it.
Matt (about magic items): "Part of the enchantment is to make them resistant to the general elements. They endure."
Laura (in an alternate universe): So like, acid wouldn't, say, disenchant, I don't know....A FLYING CARPET?
A pool of acid is probably not considered "general elements" though.
@@julienbrightside8635
Also the acid was literally pouring from the eyes of a cursed devil statue. Even if flying carpets can normally withstand acid, it's reasonable to rule that this acid might be able to destroy it.
I assumed the effect that made that the carpet couldn't fly broke that resistance as well
The acid didn't stop the carpet from flying, they flew through a disenchantment trap, essentially, right before the acid pit.
VM: "Tera, you killed anyone yet?"
Tera shakes her head
M9: *shakes their head in future disappointment*
(sees bottom of Sam's mug)
*sigh swiftly followed by facepalm* Dang it, Sam.
"You spice?"
This is universal
Literally happened as I was reading this comment
"It's like Hannibal and Mr.T" OMG that was amazing!
Zakary He
"The palace is going to pay for this expedition."
Laura: so excited she has to stand up 1:20:58
Did anyone else sing "seeecrreeettt tunnellllllll" every time Matt said "secret tunnel"? No? Just me? Oh okay...
"and die!"
I couldn't stop myself, it's just a reflex at this point
Yea i did but i forgot all the words in the middle until it got back to SECRET TUNNEL
I did too, glad to find that other people do that too
... *looks around*
lol saw the new sticker on the bottom of Sam's stein "You, spice?". lol
Jesus Christ, the ship fight was such an anime-like, action-packed scene! The rolls were just perfect, and with the headshot from Percy and all the awesome little things like Vax's Bless, Keyteor, Vex's jumping on a broom, flaming projectiles... holy shit. I would beg for someone to animate that, but that would be a hard work for an entire crew of animators! :O
It's like something out of The Avengers. Then again, they alluded to The Avengers back in Episode 5: The Trick About Falling while fighting the ogres, a black pudding, and two hook horrors.
I completely agree. That whole part was epic!
It was almost like it was scripted... LOL
Tazz EightSixFour News flash: it wasn't.
Adam Schwartze Sez you...
OMG WAIT matt proposed to marisha on november 21st, 2016. what if he missed the anime con in florida because he had to build the escape room and prepare to propose???
The airship scene might be my favorite non-fight action sequence so far
Agreed! That airship story was epic. And it seems I am just a few hours behind you in my binge-watch.
@@testfire3000 nice to see someone else binging at the same time! I'll see you i the comments ;)
So... A month ago I was checking out what had top viewers on Twitch and I came across these guys.
Have never played D&D, had a really bad idea of what playing this meant. Today I caught up with the first episode I saw live and I'm trying to find people to play some RPG with me in Colombia.
I binged the shit out of this. Love these guys!
Ok yo se que esto es viejisimo pero. Eeeeh! Otro colombiano que ve CritRole! :D
Eyyyy, esto es muy tarde pero que bien que haya mas critters colombianos
Bueno, soy español, pero mola tener a otros critters hispanohablantes
Estamos en el mismo bote, hermano. Se que encontraremos nuestra party. Saludos critters desde Venezuela!
No puedo creerlo. Misma percepción y descubrirnquebhay gente de colombia me alegra montones
That picture of Keyleth and Vax as the cover photo is my favorite so far. #aww
It is pretty awesome.
+DJ KO lol, well look who it is, the resident toddler again. It is always a laugh to see you get triggered.
+DJ KO Lol I can't take you seriously, it's too funny because you type like an angry 8 year old.
*is sad his comments were deleted before I could read them*
Same here. What did he say?
That smile of Matt's @32:47 when Percy says "I made a terrible trade, I made the wrong trade." Is solid gold. That's 30 episodes of buildup right there :)
You know a mercs guild is powerful when they have a mysterious, cloaked, silent type as their... Errands boy.
I'm betting its a war forged.
Liam O'Brien's reactions and sound effects just make this video. The energy he exudes is so palpable and it makes everyone else's performance more exciting.
20:10
Laura sounds so cute with her "don't you fall asleep". I hope this bit makes it to the animation.
This whole entire battle was so epic. Vax flying with Keyleth and Percy with his gun and Vex with her broom and just HELL YES
Awh, could you imagine if Liam had taken a level in Monk?
"Punch, punch, punch" instead of "dagger, dagger, dagger"
In theory it could be dagger,dagger,punch, punch with a ki point.
James Brooks , what would that even look like, I wonder ??
Hold two daggers, Stab them in, leave them, punch/kick around the daggers, grab them after the punch/kick them out of the person.
WizardOf he wouldn't even have to do that because they would bamf back to his belt after he lets them go.
Brandon Stell Yes, but it's still cooler, also possible RP pulling them out slicing through the rest of the person, like stabbing them into the chest, and slicing up ETC.
The exchange between Scanlan and Grog in the alley reminds me of the guards from the Swamp Castle in Monty Python and the Holy Grail when the father is trying to explain to the guards to "Stay here and make sure he doesn't leave the room".
I can't wait for the animated series to be released and to see what they do with the last thirty minutes of this episode. Everyone is so badass.
Soon, my friend, soon
Amen to that !
the way Matt kept a straight face through the "Scrying Eyes" Accapella session shows how long this bunch have been together lmao.
It's a bird! It's a plane! No! It's... A giant, flaming earth elemental? What the... BOOM!!! 💥
3:25:15
Druids keep their mental stats (INT, WIS, CHA) when they use beast shape.
the evolution of sam's mug is the true subplot of critical role
wow the keyteor and the airship attack on the ship below in general was so epic and cinematic - it's gonna be incredible when they do this scene in the show
I miss Pike...
Me too!
:'(
i concur
Emma R ❤️
By sarenrae bring her back!!!
I love the quotes by the characters promoting the sponsor.
1:41:50 I think what Vex fails to consider here is that her bow is literally a shard of divine power whereas Percy's firearm is something that can be mass produced and be far more widespread than magical arms. Also no telling how powerful firearms might be if successfully hybridised with magic.
I swear, watching Liam react to Matt's new characters is the purest thing on earth 1:50:13
Ah thank you for this timestamp, I'm on ep 88 right now and Matt makes a face that reminds me of this character so I've been searching through the episodes cause its been one of my absolute favorite minor npcs. Cheers!!
Mercer's Trinket is goddamn adorable.
