Like their companions before them, Keyleth, Vax, and Tiberius make their way to The Slayer's Take. Arriving shortly after their friends' departure for the Vesper Timberlands, the trio are introduced to the rest of their own hunting party. Along with Brother Kashaw, a driven and mysterious young cleric, and a hardened dwarf by the name of Thorbir, the group receives its mission. There within the very walls of Vasselheim itself, they are to track down and kill an elusive Rakshasa that has been preying on wealthy travelers. With a little poking about in the city streets, they conclude that their only thread of information leads to the Velvet Cabaret, an exotic establishment in the Quadroads District.

![mgk - I Think I’m OKAY (with YUNGBLUD) (Sad Version) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/7AC1uqQLIg4/mqdefault.jpg)
"wait, you have a sister?"
"yes a twin"
"what does she look like?"
*points to face*
I love moody Vax
which time was this?
1:42:35
Favorite comment
I saw this and knew I would love the moment but it's so much better seeing his deadpan face and Will's "Oh."
This entire quest was THE COMPLETE opposite of the previous one
Tiberius: “They’ll be ok, Vax.”
*Vex being hit by a giant rock*
*Percy being tail smashed then exploded*
*Scanlen being blown up alongside Grog*
*Trinket being absolutely fine throughout the trip, which seems to be uncommon*
"which seems to be uncommon" omllll that bear is one lucky bastard for having the most overprotective owner
Trinket transferred his bad luck to the others
I'm imagining the camera cutting to the folks on the other team nearly dying to the intro beats of Mr. Blue Sky XD
Well Scanlan got the tail smash and a bomb while Percy got one followed by yhe fireball and they both went down so you know bonding moment lol
Scanlan failing his death rolls.
Laura: NOOOO 😢
Sam: :D this is fine
Tiberius: “They’ll be fine, Scanlan makes good decisions all the time”
*scanlan almost dying after rushing the dragon with a grenade*
It looks like he wanted people laughing at his comment in a knowledgement… did not go that way… ^^’’
and then hit in the fringe effect of an explosive arrow...
@@LynTheWitch Yes, otherwise referred to by normal people as a "joke".
Sick of people shitting on Orion like everything he does is horrible.
@@Lucifronz i think Tiberius did (tell that) , not Orion right? it doesnt feel like tiberius would joke about it rather than be dismissive of somebody else's intelligence...
@@Lucifronz he deserves it
Love how Matt starts out laughing at Will's repeated low rolls, but then grows increasingly confused as it keeps happening. "This is no longer just unusual, it's mythic"
the Power of Wheaton to counterbalance the Power of Jaffe
I'm surprised he didn't grow worried.
Will is the Bob!
(VLDL D&D, Bob rolls three consecutive natural ones)
@@speeddemon7678 you get used to it :)
I'm convinced he was playing with loaded dice just for laughs.
The reason nobody ever believes in the Wheaton dice curse is because he rolled a 1 on persuasion.
Sebastian Silverfox Ahh, ahh I see what you did there. Is very clever.
OMG I'm DYING that's the funniest!!!!
Gold 🌟 for that. Well played
Nice.
I don't get it
"They'll be fine. I'm sure of it!"
*Cut to Percy being tail smashed*
Jester of Bleak Followed by Scanlan being one action away from death.
@@AnneIglesias Scanlan almost died first
Noah McArthur True true
Scanlan makes good decisions all the time! - As Scanlan charges directly at a white dragon and drops a home made grenade at it's feet, and nearly dies.
Bahahaha
Team 1:
Percy enjoying crumbled biscuits. Lyra being immune to negativity. Vex and Zahra bond over dead and terrible parents. Grog and Scanlan just having a good time.
Team 2:
Kashaw hates everyone. Thorbir hates everyone. Tiberius hates the whole situation. Vax cranky over being separated from Vex. Keyleth suffering from "is she always like this?"
The contrast is hilarious
Lmao! Dam thats very true. Prob why he had her on team one lok
Lol me and my typos
I honestly finally finished the other teams side literally cheering and laughing out loud the entire time, then see Orion knowing the upcoming spell shenanigans (not even referencing all the drama apparently surrounding him, just my experience watching since episode one) Keyleth who is one of my least favorite characters so far, probably wrongly placed judgement but her big squabble over not trusting Kima still bugs me, among other weird distrusts coming off to me as existing only because it doesn't already and *someone* has to be slightly against whatever's going on if Tiberious doesn't do it, and Vax who I love with all the others but already know is going to be less humorous with his separation from vex, and I'm *exhausted* just thinking about these next few episodes.
Not only that, but Matt is noticeably less relaxed at this second table.
Tip for DMs: if a player makes you uncomfortable, don't ignore it. Deal with it. Nip it in the bud
@@runonsentence7260 Literally my thoughts exactly this is completely how i was feeling i had such a fun time with lyra and zahra and them and this just feels like pulling teeth
Keyleth: What were they (the other group) contracted with?
Merton: A dragon.
Vax: *PTSD activated*
"Somewhere on this Earth, there's a person that never rolls under a 17" - That would be Taliesin.
As stated before he sacrificed a small child for his dice
@@vcagande7998 nice
@@vcagande7998 in case anyone has questions, all sacrifices to the immortal dark deity are voluntary 😝😁😂👏👏
@@vcagande7998 Nay, Tallesin actually shrunk a small child and placed them inside the die and it is said childs running inside the die that forces it to land on a high number reliably
cut to 2020:
Taliesin: "Help, it's again!"
I enjoy the fact that Wil's character was set up to be like, a hyper competent badass annoyed that he has to babysit the "children" and then turns out to be something of a parody of that archetype due to Wil's terrible luck with the dice.
I feel like that was the goal.
Addy I'm the ultimate badass who stepped in a bucket and pissed himself when confronted
Addy and
Which Will?
When they say Wil, they mean Wil Wheaton.
Hag (to Tiberius): Grow greedy with fate and I'm afraid the timeline will swallow you up, young Dragonborn.
Me: Heh. Boy, wasn't that the truth.
Mercer made an Oracle who broke the 4th wall and literally foresaw the future.
Too bad Orion didn’t have the wisdom to recognize his actions
I was searching for this comment. It's really true. Very eerie.
At this point his cheating and abrassiveness were already apparent to the group. i woudnt be surprised that this was an actual meta comment / warning from the DM to Orion
@@oblivionronin Good point
Between Tiberius and his outbursts, Vax without his sister and this two new additions, this is the crankiest group ever. Poor Keyleth.
I expected so much worse from comments like this. This episode was pleasantly entertaining. They all have great chemistry, even Tiberius felt better than usual. People that post comments like OP are just bored, and want drama.
@@TheCynicalJay Or you do
@@TheCynicalJay Imagine accusing somebody of wanting drama, while actively making a comment arguing with a clearly accurate statement. Thorbir, Kashaw, Vax, and Tiberius were all on the negative side this episode, with Keyleth being the single outwardly positive one. This is not some attempt at drama, it's just a fact. Your comment is the only one starting drama.
@@TheCynicalJay What was “dramatic” about what was said? Are you trying to say that the majority of characters weren’t gloomy and edgy? It’s not even like OP said a bad thing, he said an objective truth lmfao.
@@whatcouldbeupdog" Objective truth," yes I too have a crankiometer and it clearly read above average levels, almost 2,000 cranky plancks
What a contrast, first we had the kind of happy go lucky team, now it seems we got team grumpy and the emo-kids.
And kyleth
Keyleth is the denial emo girl. She's super moody and generally negative about things but completely refuses to admit it by being fake happy when someone calls her out.
Yeah, this group isn't nearly as good, but I don't want to miss it and then be wondering about references later in the series.
I agree that the other group is more fun but I have the softest spot for Liam.
This team would benefit more from swapping out Tiberius for Percy (who is the underrated diamond).
But then in saying that, we wouldn't have gotten the brilliant PJ's buttflap moment from the other group hahah
We get the grumpy, intellectual team that takes the most time in planning luring around every nook and cranny to find the solution and dispatch it quickly...... *MEANWHILE* *cut to Percy getting tail slammed and Grog getting blown up with a camp counselor talking about a guy she likes after one interaction*
Keyleth: "I follow my husband."
Matt: "That's wierd."
Totally underrated scene xD
Agreed. I was totally cracking up. xDD
They weren't even married at that point
or engaged.
She was talking about Vax
@@abedrahman4519 they were going out though
First trial: Classic sword and sorcery adventure.
Second trial: Literally a film noir.
I’m honestly really into the mystery aspect of this
Yess I was wishing they pulled the investigation for longer but I bet Matt noticed that they had only Vax moving the conversations along, so he sprung in to the action part to cut some corners ... I love the way he balances for the enjoyment of all his players
Somewhere buried in the comments from a few years back was a brilliant observation:
Group 1 got a dragon
Group 2 got a dungeon
Only an hour in but I can already see how it's heading that direction, fantastic. Let's see some Maltese Raven shit.
Summary begins at 6:34, game begins at 8:39. Break at 1:28:42, game resumes at 1:40:40 and runs until 3:06:15.

Finally! I've been scrolling for so long!
okay:)
Bumping! Wish this was in the description
Doing my like and reply. Things just aren't the same without Flando
I love that Matt told both groups that the other group had the flying carpet.
Schrodinder's Carpet.
Hilarious because Marisha was right.. and watched the stream where Matt told the other group that. You can see her in the chat replay commenting about the dragon and what would be thrown at them LOL
I could be wrong... but Matt never actually told this group that the other group had the carpet, he just didn’t correct their erroneous statement as it’s not his responsibility as DM
Matt said that they usually keep the flying carpet in Grog's bag of holding, but Travis made sure that they remembered that the other group didn't have it, so Tiberius ended up with it in his bag of holding.
at the very beginning of this video, Matt does state that Tiberius has the carpet.
I find it funny that the group of built fighters has to track down a hard to find target while the group more built for manipulating and tracking had to fight the most powerful classic monster in D&D. Well played Matt.
supersmily5SS5 it was the chat
Hello would you be interested in a shoe bow?
supersmily5SS5 a
To be fair Group 1 had Grog, a top-notch Tank and second in Damage per Turn only to Vax, also they had Zahra was also an excellent damage dealer. Also Group 2 has Keyleth, The best CC in the group and a passable tracker. Kashaw is also a good utility.
At least wil didn't roll ones against the dragon this way.
my heart just swells that Vex and Vax genuinely don’t like being apart
And you can tell its real. There not siblings in real life but they are on the show. They grieve for each other when separated. They know in their minds its a game but their hearts can't tell the difference.
@@allen3925 from what I've heard from some friends who have a lot more knowledge than I do said that they are practically brother in sister irl. They've supposedly been very close for a good bit of their lives.
their characters' relationship, and how well the players embody it as well, is for sure my favourite part of this whole thing. Liam, in particular, has cemented himself as one of my favourite players (by a *sliiim* margin)
@@dougreed8386they're not. But they DO share the same birthday, which is why they decided to play twins in C1
I like how Vax taking it harder than Vex is super realistic. One twin usually copes a bit better, imo.
_To Tiberius_ "So you ran away from the target?"
Somewhere, Sam laughed his ass off.
Yeah, I have no idea why they did that you’re hunting thing try blasting it
@@nickanderson55Tbh I dont actually mind this case of it much. Its not a bad idea to go tell people, it fits him being such abysmal Wisdom and it lead to some neat RPing. Realistically it didnt change much either.
@@Tintelinus it changed a lot actually if he was in there, blasting it, it would’ve died sooner. The only thing that would’ve sucked is if he got caught in the cone and he wouldn’t be able to use his magic but that’s why grog was keeping him busy and everyone else was able to do their stuff, not to mention Percy MVP was stacking debuffs like a bad ass
He probably read the statblock of a rakshasa and saw something he didn't like
"I would like to cast all my spells in succession for the next ten minutes" Tiberius in one phrase. Damn it Liam O'Brien I love you
Scrotie Mcboogerballs That is a fair assessment of the way Orion played. However it's not far off from the way most sorcerer's with metamagic play. It's just that Orion kind of sort of factually lied about how how much metamagic he had all the time. Although to be fair I have been going over the games recently i e just felt like watching all the campaign 1 episodes and he seems to just reset his metamagic between episodes... And breaks... And sometimes turns... Sometimes spell slots... it's a shame I really did like his character though. It's like the guy who sneaks money out of the bank in Monopoly it's just no fun anymore.
@@rayruckus4446 how do you know this?
If you go back and you count how many sorcerer points he used in comparison to how many sorcerer points a sorcerer at his level should have had he used far more. He never burned spell slots in order to get more sorcerer points. He never got two feet in order to gain more points he was just resetting his points at the start of each game. At least that's the Assumption a lot of people have made.
@@rayruckus4446 Yea I agree with the assumption, was just wondering if anyone's actually proven it, but yea it's probably true tbf.
@@rayruckus4446 matt said that he changed the sorceror and how sorcery points worked a bit to make it more logical. There is a possibility that to balance the 1point/level of spell matt just gave him more points. Idk if that is true, but a possibility.
I find Matt's referring to Lyra as "one of our finest warriors" to be hilarious
Guess Vanessa just wants to make the Take look good, lol
I thought it was even better that she wasn't a slouch though. bumble bumble bumble DISINTEGRATE.
To be fair, she is a powerful wizard
That acid spell was dope tho
"Jesus, whoever that is."
"That was that one carpenter we met in Vasselheim!"
Ah, Bible jokes. Not what I expected from CR, but I'm not mad.
Even funnier when you realize they are in the exandrian Vatican when they say it.
And it isn't really an offensive religion joke either. You can make religious jokes without insulting religion, and this was perfectly that.
im not even religious and i found it funny
Nailed it.
@@levantdiggerus3473 I have to applaud you for that one.
"You left her with HIM?"
I believe this is when Vax started to realize how he felt for Keyleth.
I agree. And I think it really hit him when he saw Kashaw kiss Keyleth.
I'm loving this dynamic!
Time stamp?
2:27:30 for those who want to replay it
@@bellswhalen7684 you are a God above gods
Will is balancing out Percy's Nat 20s.
not balancing, percy was stealing Will's good rolls.
He's sitting in the same place. Percy put all sort of positive luck vibes in that seat and it has started drawing the negativity from Will
All of you, Wil*
And it makes sense, Liam said New Zealand but the person getting all of the good rolls didn’t sit on the opposite side of the world, but in the same seat, thus the magnitude of their lucks both good and bad lol
Voodoo
I know what it is, lol: They did not know it, but somehow, the CR cast acquired the Seat of Dice Manipulation, which is an ancient artifact. Its exact nature is unknown, but what we know is, that whoever sits in that seat will have whichever dice rolls they roll more of, happen more often. In essence, this seat amplifies if a person rolls high or low, as a general rule.
The Moody Four.... and Keyleth
Keyleth and the Mood Dudes!
When the reclusive low charisma character is the least dickish in the group...
at least it's keyleth and not beau lol
@@FuqinVanguardsounds like a name for a band.
@@WorldWalker128 THE IDEA!! YOU'VE... MISSED IT!?!?
My favorite part of the Wil Wheaton dice curse is that a while back, he played a tabletop game where the outcome of the dice was reversed i.e. 20's are bad, 1's are good. And the whole time, he rolled high numbers non-stop.
I am the one who has taken the Dice goddesses favor from Wil. I've had people demand i reverse my dice and I still roll what I need
1:42:36 "You have a sister? What does she look like?" *points* "Oh."
I don't have the words to express how perfect this interaction is, so I'll just remind everyone that it exists.
Honestly.. when they introduced the two guest characters, all that was going through my head was "oh god, they're both edgelord lone wolf characters"
This episode promises to be less amusing than the other two guest stars.
I assumed that was due to the low charisma scores.
I know, right? Add that to the way Orion and even Marisha play, and you end up with a very ironic situation, where the ROGUE is the only one in a party of five who has any semblance of teamwork. XD
James McClynn Really? I LOVE Mary Elizabeth and Felicia, but Wil and Will continue to be my very favorite episodes, they are hilarious.
@@Pezzidge i feel the same way as James. this episode was very boring. the metagaming was fun but the rest... ugh.
"Will Wheaton, have you ever heard of Confirmation Bias?"
"Let me check." Rolls a 1.
"Uh... No!"
I rolled 3 nat 20s tonight then i said "now i roll a nat 1" and so i did...
When your stst rolls are so consistently bad that ALL your DMs have other people roll your characters for you ...
Tiberius being in the group tasked with hunting down a Rakshasa, a being notorious for being difficult to fight using magic, is hilarious
and in a town that rejects magic... Hilarious though? Having an arc that dis-arms one specific party member can be interesting if everyone is ready to carry their friend through any trials.
I think that may have been slightly intentional TBH. 😂
I fell in love with Wil when he started to talk over Marisha and pointedly stopped, apologized, and urged her to continue. The only way it could have been more perfect would have been if he held eye contact with Orion while doing it.
Yeah, I'm not sure if I liked the happy group more because Orion wasn't there or just because they were the happier group
2:57:53 for those wondering
@@Charlie-js8rj I liked the happier group because I don;t like Orion or Wil. They are both jerks in different ways.
Felicia and the women whose name I don't remember, were both much more interesting to listen to
@@MrGreensweightHist Mary Elizabeth McGlynn is a prolific Voice Actor
@@jameshaughney2327 I heard them mention she was a voice actor.
The thing is, I am just bad with names and can't remember live action actors half the time, much less ones I don;t get to see the face for.
My comet wasn't a discredit to her ability nor reputation, merely a testament to my not knowing people by name well.
"Am I your wife?
"Do you want to be?"
>Matt quietly sipping his cup
It was at this moment Matt began plotting Vax's demise....
Morgan Bass he asked Matt first and Matt was ok with it the Matt has said before he is fine with anything so long as everyone agrees with it.
It happens, sometimes there is crossover, usually there isn't;)
@@Xel_Rendwyn He tried to kill that character a couple of times prior to this....
*Sips in DM*
Every time Orion says, "Hello! I'm Tiberius Stormwind!" I feel like someone should be standing behind him and pulling chord, like a Woody doll.
Someone make this a thing.
…now I wish I could sew, because I'd totally make a Tiberius plushie with one of those voice boxes inside
TheGaming Koopa "there's a snake in my boots!"
*Pulls string* "Poppy cock!"
*pulls string again* "I encourage violence"
Keyleth: Am I your wife?
Vax: Do you want to be?
Matt: 👀😳 *sip*
I swear i heard the character killing boulders being loaded xD
When Vax makes the deal for the poison from Forsythia and learns that the payment is a future favor, Liam has this very subtle smile come across him that tells me he really digs shit like this.
Do we know if Forsythia ever got her favor? I don't remember it coming up later, (I'm doing a rewatch) and now I wonder if it could still play out somehow.
@booklover900 unfortunately, no.. she appears in that episode only
Based on Vax's decision to make himself the "something" they roll across an obviously trapped chamber at the end of their last quest, I get the feeling he doesn't entirely believe he'll be around long enough for her to cash in on that favor...
Wil Wheaton long ago generously Donated ALL of his Good Rolls to the rest of the World. So, whenever you Roll a Natural 20, you can thank Wil for it.
When they were raising money for charity in C2 when people were rolling NAT 1 they should had Will as guest 🤣
@@toribiogubert7729 I know, right?
Did you not see the last two episodes when Percy had 5 or 6 nat 20s?
@@dennisdecamp6337 Not sure Wheaton got all his bad rolls to Taliesin or if Taliesin sacrificed several small children for good rolls.
@@jayfrisbie1014 Both, Taliesin sacrifices kids to dice regularly
For whatever reason Vax grabbing strangers to ask questions was really funny to me.
I think it might have had something to do with the stereotype regarding men asking directions. I thought it was hilarious too.
He kinda felt like Strax from Doctor Who. "You! Boy! Where can I find potions?" "Excuse me! I'm a woman!" "Are you sure?" Lol
@@Tigercup9 I'm pretty sure its just vax going back to his rude self without his vex around to make him polite
Matt is a rare and brave DM to allow a cursed one to use one of the DM's dice...that's how curses spread.
His hair has negation properties from its awesomeness.
People watching from episode 1 in 2020.
Like.
We are getting there, guys.
we'll catch up eventually.
hopefully.
@@rankiraebud2719 One episode at a time. And it's a bloody good thing I've gotten used to watching videos at x2 speed X)
I'll get there eventually. Looking forward to not having Tiberius in there anymore though. Regardless of Orion's demons, Tibs has gone from one of my favorite characters to my least favorite by a country mile since Kvarnn.
@@KatarHero72 Oh, I knooooooow. God am I glad he got kicked out of Crit Role. I love these guys, but almost everytime he does something, I cringe, and I actually have to pause the video to compose myself. Annoying.
at an episode or two a day its like six-seven months
We now know why someone would need a 120-sided die. It's for Wheaton so he has 119 chance not to roll a 1.
He probably will still.
What do you mean? He'd definitely roll a 1.
Every time

Liam is playing Vax a lot more heartbroken about being separated from his twin than Laura did as Vex. I guess this means Vax is the mopier of the two.
well I agree with that statement you could also say that Vex at least still had Trinket even if Vax wasn't there.
Damn, Trinket > Vax.
+Connor Flaherty I think that's just their characters. Vex started their adventure very upset. Complaining about not having her brother and snapping/bitching at The new characters.
Its interesting, vax is probably the more self sufficient of the 2 in terms of general abilities and stats, but is also more dependant on vex than vex is of him.
There adventures are also very different, when hunting an extremely deadly beast you don’t have time to be thinking about that heartache and causing issues with your group. This is a “less” high stakes but more meticulous hunt so Vax has time to be moody
Tiberius messing with the tavernkeep by throwing the coins and defending himself by saying he gave a tip is exactly what is wrong with customers.
Tiberius: "She's not taking any questions."
Keyleth: "So, you're not taking any questions?"
Hag: "Is that a question?"
You know what, I kind of like Kashaw. He balances out the bumbling Dragonborn, the socially inept druid, the unluckiest dwarf in the world, and the emo rogue. He wants to get this done as quick as possible, and unfortunately for him, he has to deal with people who are, in his mind, clearly insane.
I feel like he is the most normal character that got caught in the most crazy of circumstances and was thrown into this group. So far that is what his back story sounds like.
+CJBerdomas Emo rogue? He's just a salty rogue since he's not with his twin sister, you know he's never been like that before.
He seems to be not only a complete dick as a character, but as a person as well. Dont really like him.
I don't think it's just in his mind. From the perspective of any npc in that world those guys are insane.
I think the insane part is more accurate interpretation.
Wil Wheaton would roll a 1 on a die that was only labelled with twenties.
This is like comic book level bad luck.
ahh.. opposite of chuck norris. indeed. lol
yanger wow
in 2017 huh
it feels like i stepped thru a wormhole
MaxStar McDonald yup. catching with the critical role team
except his one streaks stopped after mercer switched his dice....so the story is more like "Wil Wheaton uses crooked dice to draw attention to self"
Goose Brigade is this the moment I put on my tin foil hat?
Man, poor Keyleth. She is the most cheerful person, and she got stuck with the absolute grumpiest bit of people around lol
Vax is smart, funny and cool under pressure but Tiberius is dumb and can't take social ques or read a room at all.
lol, yeah this is definitely the grumpy group, but thankfully there's a lot of levity as time goes on, especially from Wil's horrendously bad string of rolls.
Interestingly she's not normally _this_ cheery, she's usually more temperamental but it seems with when surrounded by cranks her instinct was to be a paragon of optimism.
I'm pretty sure this is *the* grumpiest adventuring party I've ever seen, which is honestly really impressive.
@@rachelclaw it really is lol
Wheaton opens the episode with a 2, celebrates at such a high roll, and everyone thinks he's being sarcastic.
The curse picked the lowest number that wouldn't directly confirm its existence.
@@TheChiliconkarma the best possible reply
The moment Vax hears that the other group has to hunt down a dragon, i see all the alarm bells ringing 'DANGER'
Loved that bit. Especially when you consider the twins' history with dragons. Great moment of acting on Liam's part.
I really felt his fear and I love his disheveled feel throughout the episode. Sells the separation anxiety bit and I love it.
@@Thisone109 considering the added part of them being twins that makes the separation so much worse
"You have a gnome... shoe... empire?"
"Rollin' in it, baby!"
"Jesus! Whoever that is."
A+ quality one liner
Wil, comes up with a great plan. Throws out his plan because his character wouldn't waste time with an intelligent plan.
That's roleplay on another level
I absolutely love that
Tiberius: "It grows on you though!"
Kashaw: "So does the plague."
Well, no. The plague grows in you. Fungus, though, that grows on you.
Group A got an adult white dragon, Group B gets a Rakshasa. The chatroom is sadistic.
Accurate, also probably why they don't do the "Chat chooses enemies" thing anymore
Okey but Vax’s “You left her with him??” Is giving me life
"we lost our meat shield and we dont have pike"
guests: "fine, i'll do it myself"
50:31 I love how Will uses a different erroneous version of Tiberius's last name every time he refers to him, lol. xD
Poor orion. A twat to be sure but maybe the only hollywood person more hated than Wil Wheaton himself
@@sabinfigaro5772 I mean I see that as good RP at least by Will. His character wouldn't give a shit, especially with how pompus Tiberius acted.
@@sabinfigaro5772 I don't know basically anything about Wil Wheaton. Why is he hated?
@@ijustchangedmyname It mostly started with people hating him just because they hated Westley Crusher, the character he played in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Kinda the same thing that happened to Jack Gleeson and his character Joffrey in Game of Thrones.
Basically, some people are stupid and are unabale to separate a character from the actor or actress portraying them.
@@Abyrae some people also took issue with his falling out with totalbiscuit
When Matt talked about how the other group went with some of the guilds "finer warriors" I laughed my ass off.
To be fair, Lyra was hilariously pathetic but also hilariously capable at the same time, it was great.

"I'm the lucky man who married her" - Liam.
*camera zooms in on Matt*
2:03:29
Yeah I have no idea what keyleth was thinking with the whole marriage thing, it’s just very cringy
If I recall correctly Liam talked about Vax’s love of keyleth out of game and if he was okay with it
@@youshallnotpass567 Yeah. During the 2 1/2 years the group played before Twitch there were no party romances. There was the running gag of Scanlan and Pike but that was as close as it got. Now that they had an audience it made sense for them to explore more of the rp side of things and romance possibilities became a thing. Liam ran it by Matt because no one had gone there in the whole time they had played together. But of course, Matt was fine with it. They are a rock solid couple and it shows.
@@SourceCod33 Regardless, good disguise.
Sam talks about it in his between the sheets not specifically Vax and key but more of how as the stream went on they realized they could roleplay more deeper character moments and arcs just just quick gags.
Liam whose a huge in character guy (see anything Caleb related) had a few moments with keylith early on
So it's not out of no where and cringy in a random way though idk much about what marisha herself was thinking in the moment. Just that the idea of romance was already starting by this point though subltly
“Do you have any masks that would fit a little girl”
All critters roll to recalculate how much they like the character.
In an instant I was like, “THERES THE MARSHMALLOW CENTER!!!”
Vax'ildan: ^to Keyleth^ "Who are you going to be?"
Keyleth: "Can I be your wife?"
Vax'ildan: "...Do you want to?"
And that's where my shipping brain starts.
And the shippers rejoiced
OK I can handle this spoiler for the rest of the campaign... I need to know, do they end up having more shippable moments??
@@melsie6718 Outlook...good. :)
@@melsie6718 From what I saw on the wiki, I do believe they end up dating at some point!
@@maeve4945 No they do not😂😂 Marisha and Matt are actually married, stop saying stupid shit like this oh my god

Will: Seriously? The whole time she's like this?
Orion: Yes... Yes, she is. Yes, she is. It grows on you though.
Will: Sure it does. So does the plague.
Oh, the deadpan-ity.
Fell off my chair rofling...
+Totem PsyClinic line of the episode for me
+Totem PsyClinic Hahaha ikr xD
+Totem PsyClinic Will is pretty great. Will > Wil by a giant mile as a player and actor. He also seemed to be the only person who understood the 'Merkin' joke from Liam rofl.
David Folsom Sadly not many think nor see's him that way, and it's very sad that he's no longer a part of the Acquisition Inc, just because of some stupid miss hap or unwanted beef with some one, i think it was Scott Kurtz or something, idk much of it, but i would be very glad if they took him back, but it may never happen :'(
+MsRandomPro I think there was a series of constant personal directed jokes that caused it a few is meh but eventually it can get to be too much. Though i could be wrong. The internet is a toxic place with lots of rumors and lies. I personally don't like Will. I don't know exactly why but I just don't like him. I respect what he does for the gaming community and geekdom in general but I think he at times openly disrespects a portion of geekdoms fanbase with some of the things he says Which is why he gets so much hate.
Vax- "she's not good at reading emotions"
Keyneth- " wait....is that what people say about me"
Vax- "not me"
Lmfao 🤣😆
"Grow greedy with fate and the timeline will swallow you up"
For a fortune teller she was rather blunt with that one Knowing what happens to Tiberius
Matt got so deep into RP he saw the actual future.
Wil should start aiming to injure his team mates and somehow manage to hit the enemy instead. " I would like to completely ignore my surroundings-1 " " you've found the things lair, accidently.
Hilarious XD
They could try making a special inverse rolling rule for him. Lower numbers are better, higher are worse. Nat 1 is critical success, nat 20 critical fail. It needs to be tested.
@@Levian-Durai his roles would improve immediately. Nothing but 15+ from then on
I love Liam in this. He really plays the part, being angry while separated from Vex.
Liam is just great all around-- I didn't think I would like his as much in this after watching Campaign 2 thru first and loving his character in that so much
Yeah, his commitment to the part makes it a whole lot more fun to watch.
Vex seemed to handle it much better. Maybe she is the more emotionally mature one?
@@morganmcinroy4211 Without question, Vax is a lot more emotional and impulsive than his twin, while Vex is sometimes TOO cold and goal focused. It's a great contrast between the two of them.
@@morganmcinroy4211 Vex also had emotional support Trinket, whereas Vax had no one
Any event: *happens*
Tiberius: I go invisible and abandon the group
Tiberius, later: I helped
Tiberius even later: *busts out chalkboard to explain in detail how his leaving the group, helped the group*

Damn Liam's roleplaying is top notch he really IS his character
I was really hoping one of the Wil(l)s would be playing Aldor.

That would have been amazing
Yeah but Aldor is a sleeze
@@toryfox4580 it wouldve been perfect joking

Immune to magic up to 6th level...
AmigoRoberto oh no
I see warning lights when I hear that name
Plus it’s damage immunities against no magic weapons. Big yikes
Looks like you have some trauma 🤔
*Jazz hands* *Hushed Whisper* Rhakshasa!
It’s awesome how Liam is in character the whole time even when his character isn’t interacting. It’s inspiration level of roleplaying, wow.
ALso: On a character note, Vax and Vex’s sibling bond is so adorable, aww. Vax turns into a grumpy child when he’s separated from her.
alSO: Keyleth is so precious, ahaha.
I also love their sibling arc how them both grown as individuals and allowed themself to grow apart healtly but still have a strong twin connection and still fall to the same sibling shenanigans.. Just watch how it is now and how it will come to be..
Isaac • Aw, I look forward to the development too then!
@@isaac8734 are they bro and sis irl?
@@docop8926 nope
Not related but they do share a birthday.
I feel bad for Marisha. With Vax being upset b/c he's separated from Vex, this group was overloaded with grumpy characters. By contrast, the other group was full of clowns.
Thats irrelevant, looks to me like they had a blast anyway. You can play a grumpy character and still be funny just like Wil did
I feel bad for Keyleth. I think Marisha had a great time.
At least Wil can take solace in the fact that, because of his other stats, he cannot, presently, roll a -1 for initiative.
Tiberius: It's the rakshasa! Nothing hit him-- I cast silence and ran--!
Vax: You left her with him?! [*shoves Tiberius out the way and runs after Keyleth without a second thought*]
Me: 😲 [Poetic Cinema]
And that's where the shipping started
"You left her with him?!"
"Well I mean... I came to get you guys so you didn't metagame... because everyone's been raging about metagaming :C"

the first mention of the Raven Queen,,, as someone who knows how this whole shebang ends, i love the foreshadowing feeling
Matt, talking about the area: "this is the temple of the Raven Queen"
Me: OH SHIT THAT'S VAX'S GOD OOOOOOOOOO
@@noamichael1999 watching from the start after having seen clips and snippets of “gem” moments from C1, hearing this first mention of her made my eyes widen so much. did not expect it to be said this early MUCH like hearing the name Briarwood before they left to vasselheim. love matt’s foreshadowing!
"Scanlan makes good decisions all the time" is the best line.
Que to scanlan grappling a dragon and the nearly getting perma killed by it
Smash cut to Scanlan "I'm Burt Reynolds!"
A rakshasa? Against 3 spell casters?
Mercer wants them dead.
No, the audience wants them dead.
What Damien said :) The audience actually selected via poll which monster each team would face. CR is cool like that :)
They were hoping to nail Tiberius I'd imagine
@@toryfox4580 I'd never thought of that. Maybe. But he ended up doing that to himself...didn't he? ;)
@@BinTtown oh most definitely, but I'd imagine there are lots of things that we don't know about that would reshape our outlook
2:54:45 lead up to Liam mocking Tiberius “I would like to cast all my spells in succession for the next ten mins”
I absolutely adore the twins and their 'I'm going to fill this room with so much negative energy until you bring my twin back to me!' vibe. The twins are my favourite part of campaign 1 so far, I do know that there will be something between vax and keyleth and that will probably be a close second favourite.
Poor Keyleth. These are some seriously grumpy individuals. She's sunshine and they're storm clouds lol.
She's the only girl in a group of guys and she's socially awkward, this trial was so hard for her, go Keyleth!
This group is completely contrast to the other one, it's amazing.
What makes you say that?
In that they're completely opposite to one another. Mainly because of the nature of Will Weaton and Felicia Day's characters. It's not like I thought one party was better than the other but they were quite different.
Agreed, I like the differences too :)
Two sides of a quirky coin
Wow holy shit they are literally the polar opposite of the other team
I love how it's a group of 4 people who are absolutely done with everything from the get-go... then an happy lil' druid.
Vax missed a perfect opurtunity to use Percys long fancy name
That would have been some crazy unplanned foreshadowing if Vax had used Percy's name and Keyleth had used Vex's name while pretending to be a married couple
@@obviousalias132 that would have deem awesome if it happened
"Do you have a mask that would fit a little girl?" Awwww, Thorbir does have a marshmallow center!!
Or just a really unusual taste in clothing
I saw his failed intimidating as him having like face paint or flowers from the kid and forgetting about it, and the rest of the Take liking it to much to tell him.
I love how, taken out of context, Vax just proposed to Keyleth.
Also, Matt is engaged to Marisha. 0_0
Its just role-play :p
Its Vax flirting (was it flirting? might have been) with keyleth and not Liam flirting with marisha. Plus Liam is also married, and everyone knows its just the characters.
I know, but I'm pretty sure some of them were a little bit surprised.
PhoenixWings Entertainment marisha is engaged to Matt :)
@@renefajer Yeah, but VAX proposed to KEYLITH, not Liam to Marisha.
I was SOO hoping that one of them would be playing Aldor but I guess this is fine too...the other team got the two nicest and cooperative people and Wil and Will come in and just insult them
When this was live, I was sure before this that Wheaton was going to be playing Aldor. I think he could have done it well.
Look how much better the production value was in only 20 episodes. The evolution of this show is so fascinating to watch.
First "don't use my sister's name.. it's weird", then the proposal, then "YOU LEFT HER WITH HIM?!"
Man, I ship it
At some point in his life, Matt's teachers must have scolded him for playing too much D&D.
What are you gonna do with your life Matt?
Are you going to be a "Professional Dungeon Master?" har har har.
... yes
And so he did. Developing his DM skills for what seems to be 20+ years now. If there was a hall of fame for Dungeon Masters he’d surely be up there
Matt (in deep gutural monstrosity voice): and Im going to be one of the best a voice actors
*Laughs in infernal*
@@alvarosierralta5569 Yeah, that's pretty much how it went.
teachers in the 90s: "you can't make a carreer by talking"
Matt in 2022: "oh, really?"
This episode is the moment I finally fell in love with Keyleth as a character. It’s the most we’ve gotten to see of her awkwardness and childlike excitement.
The Wills did such a good job of emphasizing her energy and playing off of what Marisha was giving them that Keyleth finally got to shine.
So from this moment on I’m invested in every character. Or 7 of 8 anyway. Luckily for me there are only a few episodes left with the 8th.
I hate players who play like the Wills.
First group: Hey yo, kill a fuckin dragon
Second group: sTrIP cLuB bAbEyyY
Did anyone else notice they didn't actually "sign" their contract?
It took a year for your comment to get to 69
Somebody in the chat room so yeah. It's one of those accidental hand waves that can be really bothersome.
@@hahmann It's glossing over something that could be a pivotal detail. See it's easier to not metagame if the first group doesn't watch the second and vice versa.
Which means Matt skipped over something that the second group wouldn't necessarily even know is important.
So don't try and say that isn't a mistake. Even if he did it on purpose it's a bad call. If nothing comes of it then sure no harm no fowl.
But if he gets called on it later or needs to do something with it that can get very sticky.
@@MorinehtarTheBlue It is a "mistake" but only in the most irrelevant of ways, is just flavor, it's easily redconned and no one cared

don'cha know this is the Tiberius and "friends" show? Every storyline centers around him, and if it doesn't, he gets uber impatient and scowls at the camera
Orion sucks
@@MsYunaFires he is fairly annoying. and I say that as someone who is an annoying piece of paper waste myself.
@@kariissmol9172 IS THAT NADIA IN YOUR PFP?? YOO ILY and I agree ^^ not about you being annoying, about Tiberius HAHA im sure you're great !
@@skyrur it is! And i am actually disabled and am living off of germanys social system.
Does a single person ever enjoy when Tiberius says "peasant" the way he always seems to say it? I find if I had a smile before that point its generally gone after that.
I mean I find its hilarious
But for the same reason
I think both Matt and Orion expects for him to eventually grow out of it through character growth. I thought it was an interesting choice that Orion intentionally leaned into the Taldorei lore that tailed dragonborns look down on tailless dragonborn as lesser then. For all of the metagaming attempts at making Tiberious infallible, perfect, and OP, I respect his decision to at least adhere to the species' arrogance and racism.
I mean racism is rarely as fun in execution in practice as it is in theory
