It is so obvious in those moments that Taliesin has siblings. Those happy little harmless pranks that are just for craps and giggles are just the sort of thing that you learn how to do with years of experience.
Several years ago I was at an anime convention where Travis said it was hard explaining fans to his family. To be fair this was during the height of Full Metal Alchemist so Travis' fans called themselves the mini skirt army and consisted of mostly underage girls.

This was a really great episode....between the M9 wiping out the Gorgon, to the reunion with the Clay family and their friends, to Jester and the Chaos Crew getting into mischief (a panty raid!!!), this was just a ton of fun. Exciting, heartwarming (especially in contrast to the last few episodes) and satisfying as heck.
On the other hand everyone is serious when backstory shit is happening for other characters and are respectful of that. Then for Cad, who hasnt seen his family in a long time, not knowing if they were dead or not, finally saving them and having a reunion, it feels super shitty when half the gang distract from that and one member even does some evil shit and no one brings it up

Matt is just *facepalm*. Bless his heart. This is what happens when mature adults start into a discussion about underwear. Especially when Matt’s the one who accidentally started it. Also, “Your parents watch this show” had me in stitches.
It’s funny how after DMing for a year I can see the exact moment where Matt makes a decision about what people are doing and what the place looks like. His improvisation skills are increíble.
when i first watched the part where caduceus blew the bone flute behind calliope, i was on the treadmill running. i was trying so hard not to laugh so i didn’t fall on my face
Travis: i'm not even going to answer that question... 0:59 Laura : i'm gonna imagine huggers (that smile on Laura's face tells you it's not imagination but more like experience though) lol
All of their emotional constipation is slowly making me more and more nervous 🤣 can we get a group therapy episode? 🤣 Jester‘s Shock about the missing underwear is so funny! Thank you for another great video :)
I actually though Yasha was going to give her a shot! Just the look on Ashley's face when she was introduced: I think she was interested! But also, there's something way off with Beau lately. She's extra mean with many of the rest of the group for no reason, and she hasn't flirted with anyone in ages!!! Someone should ask her about that...
See. This is the stuff I truly love about the cast and what they all do when they get together. The chaos. The uncontrollable urges to throw caution to the wind and forget the cameras are there. This is the stuff I love about these people. It does bother me a bit when it gets shushed away, most especially on Talks. Like Dani; seriously, you’d save yourself 1000% of stress if you’d stop trying to “bring it back” when the group does their thing “off script”. So what if it goes a bit over an hour or more. THIS is what most of us are here for. The show AND the fun. I mean.... it’s not like Critical Role has become their job now or anything... *blank stare into camera like I’m on the Office*😳
The problem is that fans complain when no questions are answered on talks. Dani is just trying to balance so we get a little of their chaos but the questions are answered as well. The problem with the amount of streaming time is that they have a crew, and they have to be paid for over time and stuffs like that. So yeah, just a bit of balance
Seeing this closeup of Taliesin and that terrible shaking in his hands from the condition he has make me feel bad for him. I can't imagine what that's like trying to do everyday things.
Y'know, as awesome as it is when these actors taking their role playing to absurd places, I need to point out that the sibling rivalry dynamics during this episode was INCREDIBLE! Matthew Mercer is a goddamn GOD, being able to switch from refereeing the game to portraying Beau's asshole father in a believable way, and portray SEVERAL siblings to Cadeusus, all with different sibling dynamics.
I feel like every group needs a session like this every so often. Just a weird sort of fuck around session where no shits are given for staying serious. Anywho, I'd like to imagine that it wasn't the Wildmother who smiled on Cadeucus trying to sneak up on his sister... But the Traveler, because that's the sort of easy, low-key pranking that he'd delight in. XD
I love it so much whenever Liam reaches over the table to touch Travis' shoulder out of pure respect for how much Liam bursts out in laughter because of him
"Do you rock camo?" - Marisha "Camo!" - Travis Marisha gets quiet then slowly realizes what just transpired and looked over at Travis and smiled lol. I laughed so hard.
Lookin back, i can absolutely see jester saying the alien explanation copypasta about underwear "And so we all wear a smaller, hidden, secret pair of pants underneath our normal pants, and we dont want other people to see them"
C2E96 part 1: Matt watches as the characters nearly die.
C2E96 part 2: The players watch as Matt slowly dies inside.
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
That's every type of DnD I been in

I love Travis saying "your parents watch this show" and everyone dying after
Parents? That's nothing. Ronin will see this as well.
@@TheBiggreenpig Ronin has probably already heard worse^^ - and he will for the years to come. :D

@@muumis Does make less sense, since his father died long time ago, so plural "parents" doesn't fit. He definitely meant hers.
I really wanted someone to say "Hi Mr. and Mrs. Bailey".
"Someone can point to the exact moment I lost control." "Five years ago."
Any control a DM claims to have over his players is an illusion.
He can control a lot else, but players NO.

Thank Mr Claytal
Matt Mercer: _says literally anything misinterpretable_
Also Matt Mercer: _why do I hear harp music?_
he said they don't wear underwear, how else can that be interpreted?
Can we appreciate how quickly Matt demanded a stealth check from Tal, knowing what was about to happen?
There is a significant chance that Matt actually set this up knowing what Taliesan wanted.

Taleisin-"And I pull out the bone flute."

Stacie and if anything happened to her I’d kill everyone in this room and then myself... 👍
I love the entire Clay family, and I will *NOT* be okay if anything happens to them.
Taliesin's characters have the best family members.
Matt has the incredible ability to make any new npc the most likable upon first meeting them, just look at Pumat and Zorth in this campaign alone.
This would imply Matt ever had control of his players.

That's the hardest I've seen Liam laugh without him disappearing into the laugh dimension under the table!
I miss the under the table laugh dimension so much
Taliesin's laugh when he completely loses his shit.... just... it brings me life. I love him.
My favourite Taliesin laugh was when they were acting like Sprinkle had been dead for weeks and Liam said "Welcome to the Bates motel" causing Taliesin to cry-wheeze
That's a part of his power. His laughter brings all who hear it new life.
Caduceus: I, very quietly, make my way, quietly, as softly as I can, to her side, quietly.
Mercer: no you dont
The Traveler approves of these scenes.
The bone flute prank was amazing.
It is so obvious in those moments that Taliesin has siblings. Those happy little harmless pranks that are just for craps and giggles are just the sort of thing that you learn how to do with years of experience.
