Beau's pivotal stunning strike | Critical Role Highlight | Campaign 2, Episode 29
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- In what may have been a campaign defining move, Beauregard is successful in her stunning strike against Lorenzo.. a move that only had a 35% chance of succeeding, as he had a +6 bonus to constitution saves.
From the time of the stun to his demise, Lorenzo took 101 of his total 176 damage, with Beau dealing 55 of them (Critrole Stats).
SIDENOTE : I do not tolerate Marisha Ray hate on this channel.
Taken from Critical Role, Campaign 2, Episode 29, "The Stalking Nightmare ".

"I hope that was the right call." You have no idea, Marisha.
Looking at Taliesin at 1:14 when Beau announces she's using her last ki point. He's shaking his head, then she says it's for a stunning strike and he gives her two thumbs up.
I realize now they should have been called 'ki' points. My bad.
@@AmblingAl you can edit that first comment you know.
@@YouAnd_OnlyYou Thanks for the tip. Done.
To everyone complaining that Beau uses 2 bonus actions, remember this is a big combat at a liveshow, not even Matt realized it. Mistakes happen. And if you go back to the episode and watch the rest of the fight after this, Matt ends the enemies stun earlier than he should have, and the rest of the party missed out on advantage when they should have had it. So her extra 8 points of damage kinda balances out.
huh didnt even caught that i thoughts only part of spending ki points as a monk
she didnt... she made her regular attack, used a ki point to make that attack a stunning strike (which is not a bonus action, you can just do it any time you land a hit) and then made a 2nd attack with her bonus action.. she did however reroll that attack when she realized she forgot to roll her damage.. but at the end of the day she didnt do anything extra
@@benjaminsimoneau5678 She used a ki point to Step of the Wind.
“FUCK HIM UPPP”
Love it, have me a weird flash back to “how do you, Vox Machina, want to do this?” When they circled Ripley
Beau was fuvkin amazing in this fight! Love how passionate Marisha gets during battle, always makes things so exciting!!
Just look at Marisha Ray at 2:03, that is her owning one of her many triumphant moments of life!! GOOD FOR HER.
Not just during battles. Marisha is very passionate about the game in general, her emotional reactions are so undiluted, sincere and strong. Marisha playing Beau really crabks up the drama in this campaign, it's one of the most inspired roleplays of a character that I have ever seen.
honestly, this was one of my favorite moments, Beau was always my favorite character, but this was like a hail mary, feeblemind raishan, moment that changed the almost hopeless combat to winnable.
I'd forgotten about Sam's outfit
How
I never did. Mentally scarred for life
By far my favorite fight in Campaign 2 so far. Marisha's "F*** HIM UUUP" is gold
I love how fucking silent and tense the audience is until she starts going all-out at him.
God, Marisha Ray delivers. It's a pleasure to see her power game through these fights. Beau is a powerhouse, and in this fight she literally turned the tide with those attacks and the stun.
PLAY OF THE GAME
I've been replaying this part with various music in the backround when that Stunning Strike lands: Guile's Theme, DB Super's Ultimate Battle, You Say Run. I am such a nerd, but it feels just right. :D
Try with Last Surprise from Persona 5
@@davidferreira1112 Ooooh! That fits so well too!
Try Not Today by BTS
You guys Just give me an Idea...
Have you tried it with Jotaro's theme from Jojo's Bizzare Adventure: Stardust Crusaders?
This is basically the Critical Role equivalent of when Jotaro punches Dio in the head and fractures his skull.
Just getting into those whole Role business now but daaaaang.
Marisha made plays I honestly never had the guts to make.
Live. Onstage.
Pure legend.
Just to keep in mind, this was also the live show where Matt revealed the "Sam Graphic Shirt" in front of a live crowd, where Sam literally started screaming like it was a bad dream.
Epic live-show moment if I've ever seen one.
beau was amazing but i think that the mvp for the overall episode was cad because for Taliesin a player that doesn't know how clerics work he killed it keeping everyone up and or stabilized fully that whole fight and he was great in the other parts of the episode especially when you consider this is cad's first real fight with the crew
@gjaddajg ... No? Genius wasn't involved, or even claimed at any point. The monk's stunning strikes _landing_ is what the hubbub's about, and what you're responding to is praise for someone roleplaying a class they were unfamiliar with, for _effectively_ their character's first "real" fight, in a _boss battle_ . Without being exactly "guided" every step of the way.
Cool your heels, Satan.

Oh, so you aren't someone with an actual opinion to provide, just a little shit trying to rain on someone else's parade. Hot take, there. Never seen that one before. /s
"FUCK HIM UP!" Could there be a more inspirational battle cry?
Does anyone else see the similarities between this and sports? The biggest difference is there's really only one team that everyone is rooting for.
I love Marisha so much. What a legend! 💖
I just read the note beneath the video, who in hell hates Marisha?
There are some that (claim they) dislike her interpretations of Keyleth and Beau, supposedly for consistency flip-flops and a particular errant judgment as Keyleth, and for "not correctly displaying high WIS" among other actions as Beau.
@@alecLogan I always felt that whilst Keyleth had high wisdom she was also quite young, so it very difficult to portray.
People hated her for a few reasons. People who like to play the game by making the "best" choices instead of by playing their characters (which is fine if that's what they're into) confused her characters with her and assumed she was dumb or something. Part of that is that she's a woman. If she'd been a man, people would have been much quicker to assume that she was role-playing or even just a noob than to assume she wasn't smart. It's probably not a conscious thing but it's still a problem in the nerd community. The other thing is that there's nothing wrong with playing with a focus on role-playing instead of "winning", and obviously these guys are all actors so they are here for the storytelling part of it more than anything. But yeh. People had little patience for her and I'm 100% sure they'd have had more patience for her if she'd been a guy. I personally think she's a legend. If you watch her Between the Sheets she's a total badass irl.
@@ArtOfShannonLee I agree for example it took me half an episode to work out that "Grog" wasn't Travis's real voice. I learned more about this recently and some of the things said to her directly were truly awful and unjustifiably hateful. I feel those people should be really ashamed.
@@jamesgorman5692 me too. It's really strange to me how people can hated someone so much. It's just a game at the end of the day. One that I love but just a game nevertheless. It's not worth being awful about it. Personally, I love her. Ha :)
That "Fuck him up!" has the same energy as Grog's "Vox Machina! Fuck shit up!", from the search of Grog specifically
Beau coming up big!!!! MVP!!!!!!! She is the only reason Caleb was able to kill Lorenzo!!!!!
that "FUCK HIM UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" at the end is one of my favourite CR moments
Ain’t no slow reagard
IF they do an animated series based on the Mighty Nein, this needs to be included. And the Lorenzo rematch needs to be the season 1 finale.
In particular, here’s how I would picture it going down:
Following Lorenzo’s sneak attack, Beau is sent flying and slammed into the wall, momentarily out of commission. And as everyone else is struggling to keep him pinned down, we see her fingers twitch and curl and then her eyes open.
She stands up, wiping the blood from her freshly-scarred eye (because she totally got that scar from him), and leaps back into the fray, landing the crucial stunning strike that leaves him wide open for Caleb’s Fire Bolt Finisher.
And then in the aftermath, Beau refuses to have it healed so that the scar remains. To remind herself of her failure and to motivate herself to not let history repeat itself.
“Im gonna use my ki point to get there and I’m gonna unleash on him cuz I’m FUUUCKING PISSSSED.”
Beau my goodessssssss🧡🧡🧡
@gjaddajg Why do you feel the need to be so toxic? You don’t have to watch the show if you think it’s cringe. It’s literally a game. Your rude behavior isn’t welcome here. I hope these days you are in a better place where you can look back and reflect on how your anger towards Marisha and other critters may be because of your own insecurities. There’s already so much hate in the world, why add more over a dnd game?
Absolutely stunning
The MVP is Sam's outfit.
Man I'm glad Lorenzo was defeated if he had somehow escaped he's gonna be like a returning villain
I think that was what Matt was looking to do, but the stun put a stop to it. D&D in a nut shell, plans go out the window. :D
@@DarkParagon yeah he did admit that during the wrap-up. Yeah like you said plans go out the window need to make a new one on the fly.
Funny thing is she did two bonus actions in this turn and could have had advantage on her second two hits.
To everyone complaining that Beau uses 2 bonus actions, remember this is a big combat at a liveshow, not even Matt realized it. Mistakes happen. And if you go back to the episode and watch the rest of the fight after this, Matt ends the enemies stun earlier than he should have, and the rest of the party missed out on advantage when they should have had it. So her extra 8 points of damage kinda balances out.
I remember this! Matt was a little bummed his villain died. After re-watching it, he only has himself to blame. I know he plays the table as Rule of Cool and I love them for it but he lets them get away with murder sometimes. Beau just took two Bonus Actions on her turn there, dealing more damage than she should have.
Are you referring to the two bonus action attacks?
She can double her movement with ki points
and get extra attacks
Well, I think she's alright here. At 5th level, Monks do get an extra attack So two attacks plus a bonus action .... + she spent a ki point for the stunning strike so nothing wrong here...I think
You are correct, Beau did use two bonus actions here (ki point to dash as a bonus actions, and bonus actions unarmed strike), but I wouldn't go as far as to say that Matt is letting them get away with murder. He's usually quite good at following the rules, and often times I feel like he's almost being too hard on them. Besides, in this case his mistake only gave Beau an extra 6 damage, which is by no means game changing.
Anyone else notice that beau used two bonus actions? 1st was step of the wind. Then she bonus action unarmed strike same turn, dealing 8 damage. This is important as kaleb did exactly the required damage to finish him off. IF he would. have been able to get 1 more turn he could have turned invisible and escaped.
Motication Nah, she has an extra attack. First attack was her stunning strike, second was the unarmed strike.
@@mattfenner7824 No, she did use 2 bonus actions, watch again. She did step of the wind, 1st attack (stunning strike), 2nd attack, and then a bonus action unarmed strike at the end
I mean that's true but live shows are especially hectic and rules are forgotten sometimes, besides, matt made lorenzo come out of stun at the end of his turn, not Beau's later on, which means people after him lost their advantage on him so it all balances out
Bit late but in regards to your comment about Caleb getting exactly the required amount of damage to finish him off; I will occasionally LET my players kill a boss before they run out of hp. Usually its because it just makes sense in regards to the story and my group prefers rp to combat mostly, I had a boss who only had 20hp left and I knew it would die the turn after the player who was connected to it had his turn, so I just decided to let him kill the boss so it could be a triumphant moment for his character. No one knows I do this of course though, that would take the fun out of it. Hope that made sense.
Did she not use 2 bonus actions?
ignace konig No, monks have two attacks at this level. First attack was the stunning strike, second was the unarmed attack.
@@mattfenner7824 She did, her 1st bonus action was step of the wind, then she did 2 attacks, and a bonus action unarmed attack
@@real_evin Youre correct
I've been searching the web for this thinking it's an anime series or something, I still quite don't understand what this about...
Critical Role? Its a show where a group of friends who happen to be professional voice actors play tabletop RPG, specifically Dungeons and Dragons. Matt is the Game Master who runs the game, narrates everything and acts as a referee for the rules and everyone else are players who each have their own character they play out. amazing stories come out of it. They live stream on twitch and then the following Monday upload to RUclips. I recommend checking it out. Fantastic show, even for someone that doesn't play D&D. Hell, it probably would get you into D&D.
@@cgollimusic Thanks for taking the time explaining it. Vox(channel) actually has a video about it that I've just watched, it seems fun 😄
@@dCephei I wonder if you ever invested the time to watch it afterall. I hope so! It's so so so good.
@@butHomeisNowhere___ Oh you bet I have, got addicted to it in fact 🤭
WE HAVE DONE IT! Rejoice!
Wait wait onis get a +6 to con!
"That's a +6 Constitution Modifier but I rolled a natural 4" -Mathew Mercer. I'm gonna guess Lorenzo had a base 10/11 Con
@@Stellermeerkat CON 16 so that's +3 mod, and probably proficiency in CON saves so another +3 to equal +6 to CON saves
According to the MM (pg. 239), and Oni has a 16 in CON, and proficiency, making it a +6
@@Stellermeerkat A 10/11 in con would be a +0. What are you smoking?
@@yooooo8600 Cyanic already pointed out my mistake. Though my thought process was probably thinking ShadowAtronach meant Oni get +6 in addition to their initial roll. So I assumed Lorenzo had nothing in Con.
Can someone explain to me how beau used step of the wind and another bonus action attack in the same round when you have to use step of the wind as a bonus action?
You can spend a ki point for that
Stunning strike isn’t a bonus action it’s an effect on an attack that uses ki
@@topherpaolucci3774 Step of the wind is and she took another bonus action to make a third unarmed strike.
I think they all got caught up in the moment and forgot that step of the wind used her bonus action
pretty sure it was from sentinel
Beau used 2 bonus actions in one turn! (one for step of the wind and another one for an unarmed strike)
Not to be that guy but she used her step of the wind so she shouldn't have her bonus action. 8 damage isn't that much but still.
Ok I might be a noob.. but how can she use 2 ki points in the same turn ? Aren't she limited to one bonus action?
stunning strike does not cost bonus action, it just needs you to hit.
@@bizzybuzz2198 ah makes sense ! Thanks!
She did step of the wind so she couldn't do the bonus attack wtf Mercer
At 0:19
Marisha: How far away am I?
Matt: You are ten feet from Lorenzo.
Marisha: God that sucks. I'm going to use a ki point to get there.
By spending the point, she didn't use her bonus action.
@@Jekyde412 spending a ki point for step of the wind let's you use your bonus action to Dash or Disengage. The only free ki point ability is stunning strike, which you can call after a hit.
You realise people make mistakes right? Especially in front of a live audience? I hope you are perfect and have never messed up or made a mistake in your entire life or else you'd be a huge fucking hypocrite.
Marisha likes playing the stereotypical masculine women with a shaved head I noticed.
What you don't tolerate is any level of criticism of Marisha, which is what she wants. Any level of displeasure at her is perceived by her, and later by white knights, as hate. It's labeled hate so it won't be addressed or listened to. And what makes people start down a path to being insufferable as an entertainer? When fans start putting them onto a pedestal and telling them over and over again in an echo chamber how they are without fault. Go ahead, ignore or attack to defend your messiah. But it is people like you that ruin normal people and twist their egos to something unsavory. It all could have ended long ago with one comment reply that said "You've given me something to think about. Thank you."
"Anything you say is hateful because it makes me feel bad so that means I am the victim so I get to censor you!"
Jesus Christ you make her out to be some kind of evil mastermind. She does her best at DnD and brings fun and interesting characters to the table. A few rule flubs here and there are not the end of the world, everyone makes mistakes and gets away with it from time to time.
@starcrafter13terran Or... this is @SpeckoGirl's channel and she has every right to not tolerate certain types of comments in her comment sections. Nowhere did she say you couldn't have negative opinions about Marisha. She just doesn't want to hear/read it.
Also, you're wrong. People putting entertainers on pedestals do not set them on the path of being insufferable. It's when those entertainers begin to believe they deserve to be ON that pedestal that they begin that path. Marisha Ray, from what I've seen, doesn't believe that at all. She seems very humble. And she knows she has faults. She knows that some of the criticisms from the Critters are justified.
It's funny to hear someone call it an echo chamber when you and your buddies say the exact same things. Namely, everyone who doesn't agree with you about her and dares express an opinion that could be seen as some sort of defense is putting someone on a pedestal, being a white knight, yadda yadda.
Yet it's also the same group of people who routinely, condescendingly say "I mean of course she can't keep up with the others, she's there sitting at a table among gods/legends/giants/[insert additional absurd and hilariously ironic fanboy hyperbole here]" while they're in the middle of screeching about fans putting people on a pedestal and making them toxic celebrities.
What is more funny about your comment, outside of EVERYTHING others have already said...
is that you haven't followed up on your own advice. Not once did you say 'You've given me something to think about. Thank you.'
You may think it's not warranted, but that would mean that your 'advice' is also to be considered unwarranted.
Next time you try to bring critisism, why don't you try to EARN that right to let your critisism be something to actually think about?
Marisha making more mistakes in dnd
Ok bud
Where? Shut the hell up dude
@@leticiagraca1099 He's referencing that she used 2 bonus actions - step of the wind, 2 attacks, then an unarmed attack
Everyone makes mistakes, she’s just playing a game with her friends. It’s literal fantasy. I don’t understand why you have to be toxic like that. No one is perfect and I hope you go watch her Between the Sheets interview to see that she is a person just like you and me who truly cares about dnd and the critical role community, Have some empathy. Why do you feel the need to bring someone down over a game? Have some human decency.
