Thank you to Travis Willingham at Critical Role for giving us the opportunity to check out this awesome show in advance! What did you all think of the episode? Leave your thoughts in the comments below!
I love how they handled the fact that Vex was checking for traps right when Percy grabbed the armour. So beautifully done and it makes the choice to swap Vex out for Keyleth in Season 1 even better because this moment hits harder now.
In fairness in the stream Vex was trying to check for traps in that moment. Percy just happened to touch the armor before she could. Represented here by Vex saying they should wait for Vax before grabbing it while Percy goes ahead.
This episode was a masterclass in "it isn't the death that kills you, it's the reaction of the loved ones". Vax _sobbing SIMUTANEOUSLY_ as a kid and a man, both over his best friend, his sister, his world leaving him? Absolutely devastating.
This death was SO IMPORTANT for the future of Vax and the final plot. They couldn’t skip it. I’m very intrigued to see how the resurrections will work in the future episodes.
I was thinking a lot about this. This death and one other are ones that HAVE to happen for the story to play out. There's another that kinda should stay but I could see them changing if only to make death carry more weight because resurrection is really hard to work into a television show well. How I think they'll handle it is Kash won't rez Vex at all. I think her resurrection will be entirely dependent on Vax making the deal with the Raven Queen. WAAAAAAY later in the show the "Disintegration" death needs to happen. But while some other deaths are soooo important for character development, I could certainly see them glossing over all the other deaths and working that character development in in other ways. Once again if only because resurrection spells are way harder to work into a TV show than a dnd campaign. Sorry if any of that sounded know-it-all-ish of me. o.o
@@BaronesaReturns Yeah, I was referring to that one as the one that "should happen but I can also see them glossing over it". Because yes it made him realize a lot of things and was hugely important for his development, it isn't 100% necessary for the story like this one and the disintegration death.
Just because of the medium and having to keep things dramatic for people regardless of whether or not they're familiar with the campaign, I assume they're going to skip most of the other deaths that happened during the course of the campaign, or rewrite them in a way that an actual DEATH-death doesn't happen and it's just an insanely close call instead. For a TV show like this there would be increasingly diminishing returns and a lessened impact to have people resurrected over and over again, a tabletop game lets you get away with more of that. There's one other that I would never consider skipping, but the other ones can probably be written around so that a literal death doesn't occur in that instance, if not just skipped completely.
@@smashbrandiscootch719 My take on the deaths is that, like you said, Raven Queen will rez Vex in exchange for Vax's pledge, Scanlon will be raised via big ritual (I feel like we need at least one, and everyone giving up something precious ties into Scanlon's "nobody really cares" story quite well; the irony is that he misses this display, only to see them thinking him a clown), and Vax becoming a revenant. I could also see Percy dying to Ripley and VM going to hell to rescue his soul from Orthax.
This death HAD to happen as Vax's whole fate touched arc is dependent on it happening. To me it's the one death they could not alter or omit. In fact, it's why they made Keyleth be the one hit w/ Delilah's Finger of Death spell - if they kept it as Vex then having Vex die here in the Sunken Tomb would have felt repetitive. LoVM's title sequence includes literal threads of fate whirling around the characters. None of that can happen if they just skip of this death.
God that ending cliffhanger...I love that the writing is so well done that we critters, who know how things will play out, still get our hearts ripped out of us for scenes like this.
So how it happened in the campaign was pretty much how it happened here, Percy grabs it but makes the dex save and she and trinket didn't, but trinket had enough hp he survived, but it brought her below 0 so she said she was unconscious. Matt asked so it brought you below 0.... thing is he had just described the explosion of energy as death energy I think. So she says she's unconscious, Matt asks if the brought her below 0, so she looks up at Matt then they just stared at each other for a second, and the look on Laura's face when she realized, she put the description of death energy together with below 0 hit points. Then he describes how she's just dead, it really was out of no where. I think she even had said she was checking for traps. But as it was a magic trap she probably wouldn't have found it anyways as it would probably have been such a high DC it would have taken Vax to find it. I like they did allude to the fact Laura had even said she was checking for traps as Taliesin said he was going to grab it, in the show by Vex saying they should wait for her brother as Percy goes to touch it.
I like how they're portraying Craven Edge and the effect it has on Grog. Like, Grog is inherently a violent brute but it's for lack of a better term...fun violence? Or there's this childlike quality to him normally even as he's chopping people to bits. But with Craven Edge there's this intense, dark and perverse bloodlust that's really unsettling to see even from a character that's normally violent.
I like how they changed it so that you have their backstory shown in this episode. Gives more of an impact. And I am glad they kept the „don’t go far from me“ in here becaus that is definitely one of the most well-known lines in CR
21:47 additionally I think Liam’s mother also passed away during this period, if I’m remembering correctly, so this was incredibly intense and painful for him.
You're right. It's also why he REALLY didn't want the DEATHwalker's Ward as an item early on when they got it. Also, incoming spoilers for campaign 1: Liam mentioned that killing Thordak, who killed Vax's mother, was a very therapeutic experience.
25:19 Spoilers for Campaign 1 No, it was Kashaw, remember we had to quickly debate about his goddess being kinda evil and maybe gaining power/ manifesting if he brought back Vex, and everyone saying for him to do it anyway. Pike wasn't there if I remember correctly. And they did a ritual, that was when Vax offered his life for Vex, and the Raven Queen accepted... something else instead.
FYI in the campaign, the trap that got Vex had the effect that if it did enough damage to knock you below 0, you died, no death saves. It was post-Beholder fight, they hadn't healed, and Laura rolled a Natural One. This is one of those reasons I swear the dice gods were all up in campaign 1, that was such an insane moment.
Trinket lost out on his two big moments of getting the hdywtdt against Count Tylieri and splitting the Orthax kill being left out last season so he's gotta get something this round.
Alright from this…edited down version of a series I’m DEFINITELY watching in the morning I loved seeing the Slayer’s Duo, Grog and Bacon the Blade, the Lore with VISUALS of the Vestiges, the respective snippets/implied lore for each member, THE DRAGONS GOING CRAZY (gotta love that 19 misses). But nothing’s topping Grampappy Fisticuffs. Man came in, asserted dominance, and said leave. Edit: WELL OKAY VEX GOT BEAMED. FORGOT THAT HAPPENED
Wooops.. Been watching your videos since Season 1 so assumed I had subscribed then I just now scrolled down to comment and wait, why is that button white? Fixed it. But now I forgot the comment I was going to make... Good thing there is an edit feature.
The one character that really got sacrificed on the altar of translating from Campaign to Show is Lady Kima. She was there for the Sunken Tomb (mind you she was taken out of the fight for most of it). But Vox Machina were already established friends with Kima and Allura by the time the Briarwood Arc began, and similarly Kash and Zara are much more antagonistic compared to their relationship with VM in the campaign. At least Trinket finally got into the fight. (Which he does do in the campaign, just not super frequently. He ripped a Vampire's head off in the Briarwood Arc)
SPOILERS: If I recall correctly, Vax's exact words were, "Take me instead, you Raven Bitch." And in the original it was Kash who saved her, risking the attention of his own deity in the process.
Gunslinger needed to be adjusted several times throughout the campaign because it was, at times, busted. That was an artifact of them taking the Pathfinder Base class and converting it to 5e with minimal changes, though. Most of the changes had to do with Grit, if I recall correctly. The Home Game started as a Pathfinder game before they switched to 5e for the Livestream.
I sort of know DnD stuff from watching campaigns from other people but I NEVER saw Critical Role's first campaign or wherever this came from (not too sure). So when I saw this death, I was shocked but not surprised. I knew it could happen but I was just like WOW. I can't imagine how that was like in the actual campaign and now I REALLY want to listen to it XD.
It hits harder in the game because Liam (Vax) was going through some real life stuff with death that week, so the entire casts just sort of turn and look at him. He has some really interesting thoughts looking back on that time
The idea that a character dying off in a rather non climatic way is cruel, I think is one that comes from the higher popularity of video games compared to table top. People are used to the characters given at the beginning being the ones you follow until the end of the story. If they die they go back and get a redo. If they don't get a redo then it's supposed to serve the story in some major way. But in TTRPG's characters can just drop dead. A lot of GM's make it so insta death stuff is rare if it is there at all but if the stakes have been set high and the players don't take it seriously then it's their fault.
All D&D I've ever played myself comes from video games. Never played the Pen & Paper / Tabletop. I guess in a tabletop you can't just load a save-game - but according to the D&D I know (from video games) you could just drag the corpse to the nearest temple have and it resurrected - so until they come up with an explanation for why that won't be possible, she is still alive / save-able in my book. And if it won't be explained and they still decide to let her die - that's on them. And on a meta-level, it would be really dick-ish of a game-master to kill a player off just like that. And to get even more meta: If she does stay dead, that basically spoils the fact that a new main character will be introduced soon, since the player had to make a new one.
Things are simplified in videogames, you usually get a lot more access to these things there. In D&D, there's a few different spells that can be used, but they are expensive to cast even if you have access to them yourself and even more expensive if a temple does it for you. A low level party might not be able to afford it. Matt also added some extra rules for Critical Role, the spell is not guaranteed to work after casting it, the dice decides if they stay dead or are able to come back, they added that to add some risk, if you know you'll be revived anyway then who cares if you die in combat? Avoids making death as cheap and meaningless. In the campaign, Vex was killed by this trap because she rolled a 1 and failed to dodge it and she was already low on hitpoints, if she had been at full health she would have survived it. In the show they made it more of an insta-death trap.
Watching other reactors and fans of the show react to season 2 makes me feel like a anime only watcher who has not seen the source material. I wonder if you have a better experience going in blind or knowing everything?
*Spoiler Alert* If I do remember the part of Campaign 1 correctly, I think mechanically they were doing a revivify the way Matt always did it where 3 players each had to make a contribution, and Vax's contribution was making a pact with the Raven Queen. "If you bring my sister back, you can have me instead." And that's what ends up working. And I feel like that doesn't even need to be edited very much to work in TV Show form. That alone sets Vax on the path that defines the entire rest of his character arc.
Spoilers I know it's been a wile (it'sbeenawhile~) for you guys, but I will never forget that line, Liam actually _screaming_ "TAKE ME INSTEAD, YOU RAVEN BITCH!!!!". Liam is a fucking master at making you hurt inside. Brb, rewatching that scene in the campaign.
Didn't have the spell yet? Didn't have the slot available? Didn't have the material component? All of the above? I mean, I don't remember, but it's probably something like that.
Keyleth has only done one healing spell in the show, so they've minimized that aspect of her abilities in the show. Cassandra wasn't quite dead yet, so it wasn't revivify in Season 1.
This show is great, like a 90% for me so far however one thing I'm not too happy about is the fact that Zahra and Kash are portrayed as villians (or at least adversaries) in e2-3. I mean I get Kash to an extent but Vex and Zahra being nasty to each other hurts my heart. Spoilers Hopefully they will keep that Kash revives Vex or at very least that Kash and Zahra come back to help.
I think it would be kinda cool if they just speak to RQ in her temple and Vax’s deal is enough to make her bring Vex back. It would make resurrection magic rare still. A kind of thing only the really powerful or gods can do, not just any cleric.
As someone who never watched the campaign im like ???? I may have gotten spoilers from reading at the comments bc I’m just in denial? When watching the episode i was like “oh well that was intense but I’m sure they’re gonna save her with some magic thingy” and now from the comments it seems she’s actually dead ??? I’m sorry but what the fuck?? For the sake of my mental stability I need someone to tell me if she’s like dead dead, at least so I can grieve properly bc right now I’m just worried and confused as fuck

Correct!
Yeah I remember them being worried that Vesh (Kash’s “diety”) would show up, but RQ has precedence in her own tomb and she took the deal instead.
That ending BREAKS me, as an older brother who's protective over his kid sister. Vax's reaction just makes my heart bleed for him.
And that's why when someone tells you not to touch anything you don't do it
The triple wammy sheesh
You know it! We'll be doing this every week for the whole of Season 2!
Poor Keyleth. The party's pretty much a sausage fest with Vex's death.... Oh yeah, and poor Vax lost his sister.
Poor Keyleth indeed!
They've retconned the story so neither of the men interested in her kiss her anymore.
She can't get a break! 🤣

Everytime I see you guys wear your Mighty Nein shirts in a reaction, it makes my day just a little bit brighter

Purvon now has a surname! 😂🤣😂🤣
If they never introduced his last name in the campaign proper then they at least introduced it in the Exandria Unlimited: Calamity one shot.
@@LDIndustries they did have the last name in the campaign

Touch of death, cast as a defense against stealing from the goddess of Death. Of course it's just instant death.

The Mike Hunt moment in C3 was probably even funnier than Purvan.
Funnier by FAR lmao.
I think the best part of these is matt isn't even TRYING to make a funny name.
I think the name was Mycant/Micahnt? Not better XD
This shit made me cry even though I was expecting it, and I know how it will resolve.

Guys, I haven't seen campaign 1, but why didn't Keyleth cast revivify on Vex? Why did Kashaw have to do it?
Didn't have the spell yet?
Didn't have the slot available?
Didn't have the material component?
All of the above?

To be fair, Vex and Zahra were a little pissy towards each other when they first met in the campaign. They bonded over having shit fathers.
Eh they're more antagonists early on. Not villains.
I think it would be kinda cool if they just speak to RQ in her temple and Vax’s deal is enough to make her bring Vex back. It would make resurrection magic rare still. A kind of thing only the really powerful or gods can do, not just any cleric.
I really like the subtle detail that keyleth is struggling controlling water.
Liam O’Brien continuing to be one of the best voice actors I’ve ever heard.
I still cried when I watched Vex's death.
That was a natural 1 on that door check lol

Watched a bunch of non campaign reactions. To sum up all the reactions, 100% copium.
