If I had a quarter for every time the Mighty Nein polymorphed an enemy into a turtle and then had to polymorph it again because the turtle was too dangerous, I'd only have 50 cents. But pretty wild that it's happened twice
huh...apparently real life sea turtles can get all the way up to ~22 miles an hour when running for their life, that's uhhhh, about 32 feet per second so a movement speed stat of 192 feet per combat round... it never really occured to me that per-round movement speeds in D&D were so weirdly low: 30/round is only 3.4 miles per hour, so a somewhat fast walk frankly the whole 1 round = 6 seconds thing just doesn't make any sense at all for pretty much any of the actions taken, that's even long for spellcasting if the spell in question was ever intended to be useable in a fight.
@@sacredwanderer5213 a mediocre performance for an athlete would convert to 105/round, add in being weighed down with gear and I guess 60 isn't THAT slow, especially for the non-martial classes. turns out human movement speeds vary by a fairly ridiculous degree compared to most animals and that (lack of) tendency would probably carry over to most other races in D&D since it's related to bipedal movement being exponentially more sensitive to changes in fitness coupled with large variations in lifestyle that come with civilization. ...maby you could hand-wave the attacks per round being so bizarrely slow as those being the uncontested parts of an exchange? kinda like how AC is a composite of defensive capabilities rather than literally how good your armor is.
Love how fjord goes from panicked shouting full speed ahead to calmly coaching beau on her sailor insulting skills. Then back to panicked when he realized the turtle is keeping pace easily.
The 'menacing' subtitle had me DYING. This is brilliant! I also super appreciate the use of actual subtitles. I always struggle a little without those.
No prob! I recently watched an animation with subtitles and realized I was paying more attention to them rather than the audio, so I figured it could help some people too ✌️
Every time they describe Caleb he gets smaller and smaller. started out, beginning of campaign, around the third or fourth tallest (with Yasha), then went to 5'3'' (with an hourglass shape), and now he's 98 pounds. Amazing
@@ChrisjayH1 eh caleb has always been described as scrawny... eating less wont make ur bones shrink like that lol Edit: also I imagine it would be hard for a mideval homeless man to eat his feelings
Your animation style is the funniest shit I've seen in a while- so cartoonish, derpy and well done. I died when beau jumped in and absolutely loved all of this.
Matts way too nice... because his next line should have been. When the massive island turtle suddenly dissappears it creates a huge hole witch immeditly causes waves
I love the fact that you used the Pirates of the Caribbean theme for the entire animation. This is pure perfection and I am offend that Matt did not use it during the livestream.
The absolute best part of this is the classic cartoon "inanimate object winds up before zipping off screen" at the end, combined with Fjord's line. Absolutely lol.
I actually feel sad for that one person who disliked this video, because if their lives are that exiting and fun that they don't like that then everything else must just be one big let down. That was just delightful
The mighty Nein "oh, so your approaching me? Instead of running away, you're coming straight at me?" Dragon turtle: "I can't eat the shit out of you without coming any closer."
This was great. Jester's cat smile is adorable! But the Godzilla roar at the end... I feel it was misplaced. I feel a Gamera roar would have fit better.
So... anyone heard about Kiki's mom? 👀
She's got it going on
No, what?!

Lol

Yes! Thank you.

Love how Fjord’s trauma consists mostly of Turtles.
Specially polymorphed turtles 😂😂😂
chelonaphobia, the fear of turtles.

Then we need to have a crossover with Puffin Forest with his party, the Turtle Fuckers.

Captain Tusktooth knows his priorities
first mate beau has the enthusiasm and heart, if not the skill
I think we all learned a lesson here...... NEVER POLYMORPH THINGS INTO TURTLES!!!!!
Exactly! Stop buffing your enemies!
Ac:17 and speed of 50ft in water and 30 in land
Okay but the most recent time it happened it actually worked.
no, no they didn't
@@bestofcriticalrole it’s not even that the turtles had a buff, it’s that they have advantage against fjord stone
Sea Dragon: (pissed) This must be the best pirates I've ever seen.
Matthew: (confused) So it would seem.
The dude even said "Easy picking" when asked why he attacked their ship. Like, yeah dude you were just mad you got polyed twice lol
I love how Caleb spends about half the video cartoonishly flopping around XD
polymorphed into a flag 🤣
I come back every two months just to watch Caleb be a floppy flag boi.
Fjord: Oh...oh no....not again
Why are we still here... just to suffer
Help, it's again
Later, Caduceus
And on that day, the Dragon Turtle declared vengeance upon the mighty Nein.
*The Dragon Turtle will remember this*
@@bestofcriticalrole and it time...it did
…so that’s what The Mighty Nein Reunited is going to be about.
The 'menacing' subtitle had me DYING. This is brilliant! I also super appreciate the use of actual subtitles. I always struggle a little without those.
No prob! I recently watched an animation with subtitles and realized I was paying more attention to them rather than the audio, so I figured it could help some people too ✌️
@@bestofcriticalrole It definitely does! I do the exact same.
I love the mild implication that caleb for no reason at all was already flying, hanging around the mast, just waiting for an excuse to be up
It's really baffling to me the fact that, knowing how squishy he is, he always fly above the map on every fight. And then he falls lol
Every time they describe Caleb he gets smaller and smaller. started out, beginning of campaign, around the third or fourth tallest (with Yasha), then went to 5'3'' (with an hourglass shape), and now he's 98 pounds. Amazing
All nighters get a toll on you 😩
maybe he's eating his feelings less as the campaign progresses...

*sailor noises* (head spins)
you got me
YA HARR
I like to now imagine jester has a pair of sunglasses when ever something cool is happening to her and her only
Wait you're telling me she doesn't?
Like when she went MiB on Isharnai?
I love the little caleb standing on top of Jester's shoulders at the end! they are so cute!!
OMG those turtle expressions were SO CUTE!! The "menacing" almost made me snort my drink!
Matt's shirt says kiss the DM
Me: Gladly
Like, who wouldn't ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I love the constantly tired look in Caleb's eyes vs the overly energetic spring in jesters
That's such a lovely dynamic :'3
I absolutely love when stuff perfectly synchronizes
Caleb skipping in time with Mercer's sound effects was perfectly done
Ah! I see you utilized the philosophy of
“Anything is possible with the Pirates of the Caribbean theme playing in the background”
Well done
I love the expressions you did for Fjord and Beau when they were yelling sailory stuff. So good
Best. Firstmate. Ever.
Still tickles me pink that Veth's plan was "Let's keelhaul Jester" and Jester's totally cool with that.
Your Jester is SO cute!
I'm crying, there are so many parts of this I love omfg. The "menacing" kanji by the sea turtle and *sailor noises* were geniusb😂
Your animation style is the funniest shit I've seen in a while- so cartoonish, derpy and well done. I died when beau jumped in and absolutely loved all of this.
The music makes this so much more chaotic for some reason, I'm very impressed
this has as much energy as the vox machina silly promotion. just.... it's beutiful. :)
THE JOJO REFERENCE HAHAHAHAH
YES YES YES
Holy shit Beau's face when she was barking orders fucking killed me 🤣
Me: **hears ‘He’s a Pirate’ playing in the background**
Me: **chef’s kiss**
And then it still found the boat and destroyed it........ I feel like there is a lesson to be learned here....... can’t figure it out tho
Turtles are evil?
@@bestofcriticalrole Didn't Gumball teach us that already?
The mighty nein will eventually learn they have to face their problems instead of running from them....I hope
Marius is useless?
@@TheAceOfTrace He's trying his best!
Matts way too nice... because his next line should have been. When the massive island turtle suddenly dissappears it creates a huge hole witch immeditly causes waves
Since when did physics had an effect on DnD?
*Remembers loosing a party member from being dropped by a Wyvern*
..... Aside from falling a course.
That „battle“ was so funny 🤣 thank you for animating it!
The Caleb flag on the mast!! I laughed until I had a coughing fit! It hurts so good!
I like the slap-stick animation here.
I love this art style. Great work, hilarious visuals
And then like in part one of jojo, it took the ship with it.
I love the fact that you used the Pirates of the Caribbean theme for the entire animation. This is pure perfection and I am offend that Matt did not use it during the livestream.
It would have been a total blast lol
Copyright.
Thank you for encapsulating just how WILD that sequence of events was.
Love when they go full chaotic
*laughs in DM* might be the single greatest phrase in all of D&D.
Caleb's wriggly animation gives me life
I love Matt's "kiss the dm" shirt as he's looking at rules to decide what to do lol
Caleb on jesters shoulders at the end is just *chefs kiss*
1:48
[Pillar Turtle theme plays]
Awaken my masters!!!
I’m cackling at the last bit with Caleb standing on Jester’s shoulders-
I HAD to humour Sam lol
@@bestofcriticalrole LMAOOO

That was amazing! You have such talent!
1:06 Jesus, that voice crack. It was v adorable tho

Thank you! But it's okay, some people don't like stuff. I'm more than happy that so much people do like it 🥰
@renzo mayo
Ok Dude, still, great stuff👍
you see, this is the reason most bosses get magical resistance
Edit: POG A HEART ON MY COMMENT? WHAT WITCHCRAFT IS THIS?
Perfect, the only thing that I miss was when they fire the cannons.
Your Jester is easily the most adorable version I’ve seen
Holy shit. They way you draw Jester is just fucking ADORABLE
Love this animation style!
This is one of my favourite Critical Role moments, and one of my favourite animations on this site!
Great scene well done on the animation
I love this so much! You added wonderful physical comedy to this hilarious sequence.
caleb standing on jester's shoulders doing titanic in the outro is perfect
the boat skiping away is amazing!! all is amazing!!!
Thank you!! :D
oh my goodness, I was enjoying this and then Beau popped up on screen and i DIED xD well done!!
Spectacular animation style.
The Dragon Turtle is so awesome and badass.
This was amazing!!! XD Thank you so much for making this!
Thank you for watching and comenting!
The Pirates of the Caribbean music makes this do much cooler and funnier.
I love that you put the Pirates of the Carribbean soundtrack over this, I use it in my campaign when it's time for some sea faring fun
I loved that, it was really cute and well done. 👍
The mighty Nein "oh, so your approaching me? Instead of running away, you're coming straight at me?"
Dragon turtle: "I can't eat the shit out of you without coming any closer."
"I can't break you Armor of Agathis without coming any closer"
GO
GO
GO
GO
GO
I feel like I say this to every new animator I find who does CR stuff but your Jester is the cutest thing ever.
Every Jester is the cutest thing ever
@@bestofcriticalrole Truer words have never been spoken
This was great. Jester's cat smile is adorable!
But the Godzilla roar at the end... I feel it was misplaced. I feel a Gamera roar would have fit better.
The *menacing* kanji sold it 💛
Love the draws!*-*
The ゴゴゴゴ is _killing_ me
*jojo intensifies*
The music makes this amazing, I won't lie.
Caleb flying in the wind is so believable and so hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣
So are we not gonna talk about Beau's *glorious* face/animation leading up to her echoing Fjord's ''Full speed ahead!''?
I came here to talk about it.
The expressions are so great
Because of this animatic, I watched this fight while playing pirates of the Caribbean music. Gotta say, vastly improved the experience 😅
That scene is totally out of a pirates movie xd
I love how you draw jester
If they ever get around to making this campaign into an animated series i gonna be looking forward to this part XD
ditto :O
Omg this is amazing!!
Your characters are SO ADORABLE!!!!
Especially Caleb and Jester :p
I love the katakana detail for the turtle, it's great xD
I loved Not shimmying up the mast to save Caleb
These facial expressions are amazing!
Beau's animation is SPOT ON! ILOVEIT!
Actually cackling at your Beau animation shouting orders 😅👏
That is a really nice magic circle you got there.
Excellent work.
All this turtle badness points to one thing: Orly will be revealed as the BBEG.
secret lich Orly D:
This is so funny, it really adds to the scene
for some reason this style reminds me of Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood and the fact Travis voiced Mustang is hilarious!!
I like this iteration of Jester. Good job 👍
No one....
The Goth God Himself: just a calm
"Oh no~" while everyone is screaming
He enjoyed it so much lol
God I love your artstyle! So funny :D
Fjord is just traumatized by turtles by this point lol
It´s so hilarious to me that Fjord just has turtle PTSD at this point
The polymorph sound is fucking brilliant
