  • Well, that was quite the episode! It was pretty fun to turn into a highlights video though. I hope I captured the essence of it well! Please enjoy this collection of my personal favorite moments from Critical Role Campaign 3, Episode 77.
    PS: Sorry if the sound feels a bit too low. It felt like multiple people were whisper-speaking for a lot of this episode and raising up those sections too high just makes the background noise really distracting, so I left it.

      Given that there is demiplanes between the 4 main elemental planes, its possible for similar creatures to exist but Ashton problaby got the most busted buff.

    • @Evilshadow529
      @Evilshadow529 Před 7 měsíci +19

      Let me explain in detail. It's more on the lines of Ashton, the guy who doesn't really do hero stuff, does a martyrdom action and risk. Yes, he talked it out with Fearne, but he didn't talk it out with the rest of them. He took a risk that didn't need to happen, when they are a group trying their best together.
      They all know each of them is a powder keg ready to happen, and promise to work together to make sure nothing extremely crazy happened. Ashton himself made that a big deal after FCG snapped in episode 31. So to see him doing that, while not talking to the rest of the group hurts their trust.
      That idiot move could have caused more damage to them if he died. How would FCG would feel with the constant reminder that Ashton died, and he couldn't save him? How would Laudna feel knowing that the strong man who helped her died doing that? How would Fearne feel knowing that she may have caused Ashton's death? Even if she didn't want the shard, if Ashton died, she would blame herself for not taking it.

      ​@@Evilshadow529not only that, but tactically, this was a no-win situation. Ashton dies, the team has lost their biggest tank and 3 sources of power - two titan shards and a shard of dunemancy in them. They're at square minus one. But him living isn't much better. They have to wait a day for everyone to recover. And Ashton now has all 3 of their power sources while the rest of the team have nothing but themselves. That's a problem in terms of team balance for the game, and makes them vulnerable if they lose Ashton. It was a bad call. If Fearne didn't want it, they should have talked next steps with the team.

    Honestly, it cracks me up that out of all these crazy loons hellbent on saving the world in the most batshit way possible, the two shadiest fucking, picking-pocketing, absolute craziest agents of chaos who probably wouldn't be trusted by anyone else outside of the group have each other's back to an insane degree. Way more hearts than brains. Ashton and Fearne are my absolute favorite dynamic and I love them.

    This is why I think Matt may actually reward the efforts of not just Ashton, but the whole squad in making sure this power absorption happened. He even describes that Ashton has anew volcanic arm to replace the one that snapped off. Who knows what that will entail?
    Do I think there will be a MASSIVE caveat to this power boost? Hells yes. But is Matt the kind of DM that rewards the efforts of his players, even when (and sometimes especially when) they derail his plans? Also yes. [Looks at Essek] But Matt will also back up that warning of "Don't put them both in one person" *somehow*.

      The numbers were ran - there were 5 different DCs, 11 for roll 1 and 2, 12 for 3 and 4, etc, up to 15 for 9 and 10. Any fail was instant death. Then there was the fire damage. He had about a 12% chance of success, if you ignore the fire damage completely. Matt "let it happen" by not making it impossible - but it was the dice that came in clutch. 9-ish times out of 10, Aston would be dead unressurectable.

    The fact that this is at an insanely pivotal time in Exandria's history and one if its saviors decides to gamble his entire life, I get the table's stress. But this is entirely in character for Ashton. He's willing to put it all on the line for the family he never had. To him, it's worth it more to burn, crumble away and disintegrate in order to become the weapon he needs to be than it is to die or fail. Regardless of how risky it was and how recklessly stupid (again, totally in character), you can't deny that Ashton just massively leveled up in terms of power and it will be an edge over the adversary

      He also literally jumped into a lava lake to just yank the shard out of there with his bare hands.
      I imagine the cast was more nervous about him dying rather than actually mad that he took the shard. I mean, they talked at length about and agreed that either him or Fearne should take it anyway..

    • @moistnugget141
      @moistnugget141 Před 7 měsíci +5

      Also don't forget, Ashton is a hypocrite, and he said it himself multiple times. He warned FCG to not be a martyr and look where he is now. All the signs were there, but HB decided not to look at them or dismiss them as a "fuck it" mentality, while Ashton is selfless to a fault. It's amazing how Ashton recognizes all these tendencies of behavior, but I think it is exactly because they are a mirror to his behavior.

    I keep seeing comments (not necessarily here) about the shard not being "meant" for Ashton. That's not up to anyone but the players. Matt can introduce an item into the story, and can hint all he wants at who the intended recipient is, but that's the most Ashton thing Ashton could have done. And he seems to have the blessing of who it was intended for, so aside from Aston being abrasive in general I'm not sure what all the anger is about.

This may have resulted in me rewatching your compilation of the “Ashley rolled an 8” episode…I can’t even tell you how many times lmao
    I love how you not only highlight the funniest/saddest/most dramatic moments, but also the minor ones that we might’ve missed during our first watch. Whether they be moments that make us understand a character a little more, or where the cast is just goofing around, they are all so appreciated. The fact that your videos are also the perfect length for people who might not have the time to watch a whole episode and just wants a summary with the most important (and memorable) moments is yet another W
    What I’m trying to say is this: Thank you ❤ thank you for the time and dedication you’ve put into creating these amazing videos.

    Honestly, I do think it was an absolutely stupid move and Ashton would have been dead if they didn't have Fearne and FCG... But... Taliesin played his character, he didn't play the meta. Ashton is a self-absorbed, punk rock, asshole; and now they have a god-complex. The only thing that is separating them, for now, from being like the people they are fighting is the love for the group. But, I did think Taliesin played it appropriately for the RP portion. Ashton would do the exact opposite of anyone seen as "wise" or as "godly" because they hate anything that has power over people.

    Me: May I remind the court that Laura Bailey is the player behind Vex, the wife of Taliesin's character Percy? (And whose castle we were just in, and parents of Gwendolyn...) If anyone can see the signs of Taliesin in a D&D romance, it would be Laura, the only person (until this episode) to have a D&D romance with a Taliesin character.
    Watching live, this scene of Fearne and Ashton at the clock tower, in the SNOW, gave me serious Vex and Percy first kiss in the SNOWY woods vibes. We did eventually get a kiss between them, just not in this scene, so I was not completely wrong. Laura probably noticed the vibes too, having the experience playing Vex. Also snowy settings seem to be Taliesin's favorite spot to start a D&D romance, so that probably didn't hurt.
    Edit: Spelling
