The team overtakes the Duergar Queen, before Ulara is able to make a thrall of Grog. After slaying her underlings, and momentarily banishing her to another dimension, Vox Machina presses her for information about K’Varn. It is in that instant that K’varn speaks to them, through the lips of the Duergar queen.
His evil palpably radiating from the queen, K’varn urges Vox Machina to find him, in the city of Yug’voril. His message delivered, the Duergar falls still, her life departed.
To the surprise of the weary group, Keylith again voices her growing doubts about the path they all walk, but after some assuaging words from Vax’ildan, the group makes camp in order to rest their tired bones.
Later, they proceed on, finding a vast island in yet another massive underground cavern. Clarota informs them that this is where the city of Yug’voril stands. The party finds a ruined boat beneath the surface of the subterranean lake, and after Tiberius raises it and Percy patches it up, they take to the water. Pausing at a craggy beach as they make their way on to K’Varn, the party perhaps goes looking for trouble and does indeed find it.

"That hovel you call a castle" "I don't make promises to dogs"
I love that after the fight, Scanlan was all, "We tried to negotiate" LOL

How do you have 400 upvotes and no comments.
@@UnorganizedWaffle you killed the streak
@@the22attacker does it count if all of the comments are sarcastic.
Doubly fun when you remember Travis is married to Laura.
@@UnorganizedWaffle yes.
Sometimes it's really easy to forget that Liam and Laura aren't actually siblings.
GryffinclawPrefect I'm always double-checking names because of that.
Liam and Laura do share a birthday though - that's why they decided to play twins.
It's really easy to forget that Laura and Trav are married too oops lol
Jordan Burton what..... Jaina Proudmoore is married to Thor?
right? they almost look alike
“Scalen what’s that?”
“Oh this bulge? It’s-“
“That’s bedtime is what that is!”
DarkRoman 15 1:31:36 (for reference :3)
That shit killed me
Clearly matt didn't want to ruin the serious moment 😂😂
Please un-polymorph your tripod
Completely expected Scalen to ask if that was some kind of invitation.
Opportunity missed.
@@Loki13Mself-preservation. Even Scanlan knows when a woman's close to slitting his throat.
"he sticks his tongue in your ear a little bit"
"its actually quite nice"
Scanlan is officially the best.
Scanlan: "DON'T HIT ME!!!"
Dwarf: "Uhh ok, I guess I won't then. Wait what?!?"
He also got a man to kill himself.
And he used minor illusion AND polymorph to distract someone!
@@arztfritz3803 I appreciate that he could've used Minor Illusion again, but he burned a 4th lvl for that joke lol
@@Cyyberslam8 That makes it even greater and befitting for his character
Timestamp 56:18 btw.
Rest of Party: "Let's try to trap the queen when she reappears"
*Queen Reappears*
Percy: "I would like to try a headshot with bad news"
Queen Allura: *chuckles* I'm in danger
It was at this moment that she knew, she fucked up
No mercy Percy rearing his head early.
obsidiannightwolfe13 I still have yet to see the full no mercy Percy
@@jacktuck0294 it's worth watching the full series
1:55:50
Vex: *changes armor in front of the group*
Grog: *draws furiously*
Captain Birch that had me dying 😂
Of course his drawing skills are likely as good as his counting skills, so it's a stick figure with boobs.
I was dying laughing at this and increases my love for grog profusely
Quickest draw in the under dark
Just to look down and see he was drawing on air because he has no paper or pen. So sad, poor Grog
It's really funny how there is this mistrust of the paladin but the brain sucking abomination is treated like family
Clarence is family, goddamnit!
It always annoyed me.
it really is getting quite old.... I do like "Clarence", but yeah...
In my head cannon, the reason for this is a lack of first hand experience with mind flayers that sprouts into a niave trust combined with a war bound connection (the same type of bound real soldiers feel due to them having to actually trust each other with their lives). This combined with a distrust of preset societal preconceptions, for example while both dieties are good pike and kima both worship different gods. This combined with kimas sense of resisting compromise and in honesty being there for no reason. I get that her diety gave her a vision, by why only one paladin against such a dark strong foe, why not all paladins amd clerics of bahamut. Clarota was there trying to free and asist his people, something keyleth could relate to even if the reasoning wasnt the comeplete same. Then combine that with vox machias past of being basicly outcasts even as adventurers, its logicaly they wouldnt trust those of what could be perceived as higher standings.
It's been my experience that "monsters", for the most part, are usually straightforward with their intentions, either because us knowing doesn't change anything for them, or because lying can get them killed. Most of them don't lie to each other for a living, so doing it consistently usually bites them in the ass. Plus, most monsters are driven by instinct, and if you "know" those instincts, you can usually cohabitate or even tame them depending on their disposition.
However "non-monsters" usually have some sort of agenda, they are more used to lying to those around them, and are not as instinct driven, so its harder to figure them out.
I've been stabbed in the back plenty of times by non-monsters. However, other than the two times that I was WAY underprepared for them, monsters have been pleasant and helpful for the most part.
"Can I roll a perception check?" - Grog
"Yes." - Matt
"It's 12..." - Grog
"You found some boats, yo!" -Matt
😂😂😂😂😂
The image of Grog screaming his head off at an earth elemental while strapped down makes me laugh my head off.
Gettin kinky with it!
watched it over and over again. Can't stop laughing.
Has somebody animated this yet?
And then made a gif of it?
:)
i really hope this is included in the series, i wouldn't even be able to watch the rest of the episode until i re-watch it at least seven to 25 times
That was one of the first fits of giggles these chuckleheads gave me.
2:52:30 Laura: "Enough with the dick jokes."
Little did she know she would become the very thing she sought to destroy.

Ah Jester, she was so precious, I miss the mighty nein, I hope some of them make a cameo in the new campaign...Also, Let chaos reign
Laura: "Can I get new dice as well".
And thus we see the start of the addiction.
@Timber_Wolf___ rookie numbers in total I have over 300 dice
@@youshallnotpass567 I have a Bailey’s Bag of Hoarding full of d6s 😂
Honestly I have no clue how many dice I have. I've given up counting them, I just weigh them. I have over 6 pounds of dice at the moment.
@@youshallnotpass567 Those are really rookie numbers my guy.
......its not an addiction I can stop collecting dice any time I want.....after I get these ones.....and those one too.....
I mean. I'm like 95% sure that Clarota is going to betray in the end but I'm kind of fond of him. Possibly due to Matt's influence though.
I don't know, I think Keyleth is on to something with this "Kema and the horn" thing
This being at this moment, I don't know what's going to happen, don't spoil it haha
This is so nice seeing new Critters being formed!
Just started watching, this is really good. It's making me wish I was a better DM. Mercer is really impressive
Tyler Durham he is really good. He's done a whole set of Dm tips videos.
I like how the character's stats are being shown now. that was a cool addition to the mix, being able to see stuff like that.
Yes!
super super late, but is there a place i can see their levels? it’s cool knowing their stats now, cuz i can understand what each character is bad at, but i would like to know what level they are.
@@tylercarter9965 I believe in the intro portion of an earlier episode (can't recall which - sorry) they said they were Level 9.
You’re right! I just started this a few weeks ago and heard them say that’s couple episodes in
@@Wraithspartan in this they're lvl 10, as keyleth becoming an earth elemental is the lvl 10 moon druid feature.
Vax: “Grog, are you skinning a boar over there?”
Grog:”That’s what they call it in some countries hahaha.”
Keyleth trying to pull off the iron bands from Grog... "I failed..."
Vex: "Failed what??"
Percy: "...life..."
... xD
1:20:00 Vex: "You look really manly now." Grog: "Now?" Travis to Laura: "You're sleeping on the couch." Best exchange of the evening! XD
she didnt even really react, almost as if she knows better.

"Oopsy woopsy we did a fucky wucky"
Me: too lazy to finish/start a 12 episode series with only 24 minutes per episode.
Also me: stays up all night binging 3-5 hr episodes of CR.
This is M E
Meh those can wait. You’d never get this much free time like ever.
Speaking while thinking about all the books I’ve been wanting to finish up
You didn't have to call me out like this x)
I chose this over Star Trek marathon (TOS, TNG, DS9)
true story
58:28 Matt: "counterspell in this edition is so good"
*Sam will remember this*
Whenever I hear Vax'ildan and Vex'ahlia talk to each other, all I can think of is this.
Vax: "Awkward sibling hug?"
Vex: "Awkward sibling hug."
Vax & Vex: ^hug^ "Pat pat." ^pat each other on the back^
Exactly.
Yeah, the Gravity Falls dynamic was fantastic, and they simply ooze that same sort of sibling reltationship. It's easy to slip into the illusion that both players are siblings, at times, too.
Sincere sibling hug.
I. Love. You.
Damn it, that's all I'm gonna think about now
I like how Grog has higher wisdom than Tiberius.
And Scanlan
Oh, grog the wise give your guidance
So THAT'S why he's so eloquent and worded.
Tiberius is an academic, right? As someone who's hopefully going to start university soon, I can confirm that wisdom is not our strong suit
"I can see all of you."
"Not me!"
"Don't be so sure, dragonborn."
"He's pretty good!"
"Talk, small annoying creature..."
Me: Uh... You do remember that this "small annoying creature" just decapitated your King and husband yesterday like a total badass, right?
Villain rule number one, never sound impressed.
Yes, she does. That's part of why this small creature is so annoying. :-)
Idk if someone decapitated my spouse before my eyes I'd be pretty annoyed
@@elbruces Several villains have broken that rule, some multiple times
@@ALJ9000
Yeah well, they shouldn't have.
I love it. Pike is never there to see Scanlan be awesome, it so works with the dynamic.
"There are many things in the water... Fish, crustaceans..." After all the serious stuff Matt has had Clarotta say, that just got me.
Still not better than "did you know this illithid?"
"Daaaaave...."
@@UrbanJackal I thought Scanlan said that.
Row row row your boat
gently down the stream
if you see a druid shape shifting into a shark
don't forget to scream
Your meter is off.
The third line is so comically long I can't breathe
but if you scream the lava might get into your mouth.
Liams "I fucking love this game" is so great
This whole 7 years has happened because your man wanted to relive a bit of his childhood
Matt: "There aren't usually this much penis jokes in these sessions, uhh. . ."
Laura: *we can fix that*
Jester Lavorre enters the Chat
Laura you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain
Am I the only one who finds it weird seeing a clean-shaven Sam Riegel after 8 episodes of his beard?
+Maple Samurai no
+Maple Samurai Yeah no, I was confused as well.
Maple Samurai yeah and Orion looks shinier
I like it, though :)
I love his beard. Clean shaven freaks me out too.
Why didn't I start when this show started, 3-hour episodes, so many to go, must keep watching, must satisfy my new addiction, my life is in ruins, my studies neglected, what is a shower? Life as I know it is over until I have caught up!
You and me both, I desperately want to catch up but there's just so much to get through! XD
We will make it eventually :)
+Cedric Meury episode 17. malnutrition is starting to kick in. the sleep depravity is making me hallucinate that trinket is sneaking up on me. I jump up for cuddles only to find my self alone. my family, an able to get through to me are gone. but i barely notice. I just fall back into the warm embrace of critical role, letting Gross voice sooth me and Vex warm my heart and Matt guide me.
I would like to ... encourage ... food ;)
I wish you guys the best of luck. You can do it. Some day you might be able to watch the show live on Twitch like me.
2:40:00 is Matt Mercer slowly panicking inside as the party decides they want to explore the artistic bits of the map that has nothing prepped for it.
Every DM relating so hard
Or the opposite
Designing a super detailed specific enemy headquarters only for the party to completely leave that landmass for other shores on a different sidequest lol
Love that the chat window is gone. Much better having more map, mini, and character sheet visuals. Amazing job!
There were a few toxic and troll comments in chat at the time, which I think was the main reason. But honestly even without that it is better to use that space for game stuff as you say.
@@Logan_Baron Yeah, the trolls in the chat were distracting and upsetting. It's better not to have the chat visible at all.
It was fine to start with chat though as they didn't have that many members in the start
The chat was so distracting!!
I watch Critical Role for BarfyMan362’s Twitch chat comments. Now they’re gone…
vax:" Grog are you are skinning a boar over there?"
Grog:" Yep ,thats what they call it in some countries.."
Comedy gold.
I am convinced that Sam is an actual Gnome
Just like Keemstar
dont compare our gnome lord and savoir Scandalan to just filth
I'm convinced that Taliesin is an actual Human
Orion is also an actual dragonborn
Pretty sure Vax is a Half-Elf.
Liam and Laura actually act like they're siblings,the little fight for the leather armour was hilarious 😂
Omg I died when Liam pretended to grab her ear. Such good humor lol

Priorities, if you can’t save em’ loot em’
every time matt says "it apears to be" or some such vaguity I expect it to be falllowed with "you step into the room, it is a mouth, you are consumed" or "looks like water, it's acid" I had too many horrible dm when in elementary school.
I was second DM for a beginner D&D weekly event at a local game shop. Last session before the shop closed, I made a giant map that had a large bridge over a river and connecting two lands. I had to spend five minutes arguing with my players that it was a strong and secure bridge that would not be blown up. They still didn't cross it. Main DM is laughing because we've obviously taught them well.
That's horrible. DMs intentionally gaslighting and abusing players is fucked to me. The DM isn't there to play the game against you or to lure you into some sort of "Gotcha!", the DM is there to facilitate telling a story and managing the world. If the world is dangerous and the players are careless, they die, but the DM shouldn't be inventing things specifically to murder players out of some sense of maniacism.
tamriilin Depends on how they do it and intent. I've tricked players on several occasions because I'm trying to teach them to think. Most of the time, I'm providing hints throughout. I've then explained exactly what was going on afterwards so they can see the full narrative and an idea of the lesson.
You've got to find a good balance. You don't want your players getting cocky and it's great to see a trap fall into place, but equally you don't want players rolling perception on every corner out of fear.
Traps are important, you need them around but you need to use them in moderation. If your party is getting a bit excessively cautious, to the point of refusing to proceed, you'll likely need to lighten up on them a bit. If the opposite is the case, and they are getting a bit overly cocky, crack down on them, throw a series of dangerous traps in to bring back that sense of danger, or introduce a set of particularly trying encounters.
Grog wakes
Burned a bit,

2:33:30 (wow, I'm talkative today) Did I ever mention I fucking loved the bottle gag? Both the initial "I have this [empty bottle]; I'm good" whenever anyone mentioned packing an air supply, and then the reveal that Tiberius actually wasn't being dumb and the bottle is a magic item.
I highly suspected this was a "bottle of air" (magic item) the first time he pulled it out I'm happy to see that it actually is.
The image of Scanlon singing "No don't hit me" making the duregar actually miss is killing me 😂
Matt Mercer just listed off my party as the dead group covered in cobwebs. We fit that exactly. We TPKed in the underdark and our bodies were never found.
Whoa.
Foreshadowing
It's canon now :D
Bruh.. that's awesome. Know it's been a while but you down to tell the tale?
@@S_047 not much to say really. We went in acting too big for our boots and the DM sent a rogue mindflayer and some Duergar after us. We were level 4 or so so it didnt go too well.
I love that Grog quietly says, "You're sleeping on the couch tonight." after Vex says he only looks manly now. Little things like that are what make this series so good!
That’s not in character, Laura and Travis are married.
Percy made a boat!
With guns.
A gunboat.
Shoot the encounter. Stop having it be alive.
I like you guys.
Wait for him to build a dungeon... A GUNGEON!
Guns and ships and so the balance shifts...
Honestly didn't expect to find a Bill Wurtz reference in these comments... well done
Tiberius calling himself a glass canon whilst having more hit points and AC than most the other party members sendsss meeeee
well he is just trying to be greedy and take more magic items for himself there is no logic or numbers behind it you can visually see his irritation when he gave away the circlet as well
The first whisper in the show, and Sam is already using the moment to advertise something. I love it!
that sibling contest persuasion roll was priceless XD
I was hoping Laura would say "Vex stomped on his pinky nubbin!"
Vax and Vex fighting over that armour was the cutest thing ever
Percy is the best. Waits for his turn and plays his character plain and simple.
The longer I go on, the more I appreciate Grog and Scanlan for bringing some lighthearted humor into the group.
"Is this normal?" , "None of this is normal." Best two line description of the entire adventure.
the infamous DM's whisper... usually bring frightening news lol
Matt: "at the edge of the island you see a bioluminescent, fungal forest"
The party: *sheer horror/disgust*
Keyleth the Hippie Druid: "I LOVE IT CAN WE KEEP IT!?"
Scanlan: ah dont hit me
Dwarf: Its hard to argue with his assessment
One of my favorite phrases of Matt's is his "best you can tell..." because it makes it so that there isn't really a definitive answer as to whether there is danger or not.
I know this is late but I thought I'd add it for fun. My DM always says "As far as you can tell, you are hidden." to every stealth roll. From a Nat 20 to Nat 1. I love and hate it. It adds a fun bit of tension.
2:30:21 "You all watch as Grog is now riding a shark."
How can anyone say that with a straight face? Awesome image.
Travis, dejected: oh.. you need magic to use it :/
Matt: no
Travis: looks around excitedly
Everyone: ignores him
My heart < / 3
To be fair, he can rage and REALLY doesn't need it.
I'm almost entirely convinced that that Freudian slip from Matt (Calling Clarota, K'varn) is hinting at a Clarota betrayal
every time Sam doesn't know how to do things because he was always so itty bitty before is adorable. "I never rolled a d10 before!" i'm dying
For a pretty independant character, Vax'Ildan makes for a good leader of the party. Or atleast, it feels like he takes up leadership more often than not.
Yeah. He's a reasonably good diplomat.
But he's terrible at making plans. He usually just stealths ahead and throws his daggers at lone guards.
+Jimmy Evans ah well, they're all terrible at something or the other. Just found myself very surprised when I noticed it. Then again, I did create a rogue who also exhibits leadership qualities and a flair for diplomacy. Suppose it is possible :)
I found myself thinking the same thing! Everyone seems to take his words well and wait for him to agree to plans. He’s a good leader, of a democratic group
The game started as a birthday adventure for Liam, it's not surprising that his character is an impromptu leader in the group.
if you realy want a leader type rogue you can also easely take dex as main and cha as second stat as rogues with all their proficencies and experties dont need that good other stats, and you can dump str and con to 10 so you can get also mediocer int and wis..
When Matt started describing the translucent deformed crab i found myself singing :
Underdark sea
!
Underdark sea
!
Darling it's better
Down where it's darker
Take it from me
Up on the surface they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin'
Full time to flayin'
Underdark sea!
I love you.
Just so you know...I had to sing this
Sir you dropped theese🏆🎤
A funny parody worthy of any bard. Absolutely awesome! XD

🤣🤣🤣
I thought he said two weeks?
@@kattriella1331 makes his line even better
Im new to critical role, and felt compelled to mention how it's getting me through this terrible Coronavirus lockdown in the UK.
We're all losing friends/family, and this is the best antidote I've found.
...
Thank you all.
I understand how you feel though as I've started it a few days ago
You guys have some amazingly beautiful and horribly depressing times ahead. Just remember the words "Is it worth it?" And watch for Sam/scanlan to say it. It's easy to miss. Also don't read too many comments.
I'm going back into lockdown and so glad I started this
Hang in there! Cheers from Montreal! I'm an art student and most of the time I need to stay in front of a screen 24/7 and 10 months into the pandemic I don't really have mental energy to draw, critical role helps so much, literally the only thing that gives me comforting and allows me to stay and work instead of just watching tiktoks in bed. Anyway, I hope you're doing well!
Hope all is going well. Our family has been locked down pretty fierce for going on a year now. Peace and love friends!
I hope they keep their promise to Clarota and free his people even if it's difficult. I want a happy ending for Clarota.

not spoiling anything seriously since this is my first time watching this campaign, but mind flayers lose their individuality when they are in the mental range of an elder brain. my guess is as soon as they enter mind-flayer city, he suddenly loses all individuality and starts treating them as strangers. idk if the elder brain might be interested in them but if not, non-thralls in a mind flayer city would most likely not be tolerated... unless matt changes the way flayers work in his campaign, but idk. depends on how faithful he stays or strays from the source material.
@@companyoflosers Since this is homebrew I assume he did change this, but he did also say during a chain of dialogue like right after they met Clarence that all the flairs are individual thinkers but share a stream of knowledge that is a hive mind. But you're 4 months ahead of me so you obviously know more than I.
Doesn't he have that mind protecting thing?
I know that this is late and you most likely know the answer by now. But i just started watching and all i can say is:
1, He's a freaking Mind Flayer, there is NO WAY there can be a happy ending when you're dealing with Mind Flayers!
And
2, THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A HORN OF ORCUS! 🤣
Orcus! There is NO WAAAAY that can end well!
Orcus is amoung the badest of the bad entities in all of D&D.
So, Mind Flayer+SUPER EVIL artifact. Nah, death and bad shit is on the horizon for sure! 🤣
Did anyone else notice there's an arrow pointing at Sam that says "I play with poop," because that cracked me up.
I came searching for this comment, yours is literally the only one i found after all this time. I am shocked
He probably wrote it himself.
when?
@@ajwest5569 literally the whole time, it's on the blackboard behind him
it's been years since I watched this, so it might have changed at the intermission of something, but it's there for a good long time
@@ThePCguy17 damn, i must have rolled a nat 1 for perception because i didn't notice the entire time
"AHHHHHHHHHHhhhhh DON'T HIT MEEEEee" Scanlan is the best
Travis seems so happy to be back. I really missed his energy the last couple episodes (first time watcher, I've been missing out)
Keyleth, "Oh that's true. We don't need her, we just need her brain."
...that moment when you realize that although Good and Evil are relative, both sides might just consider you to be the bad guy.
Nuetral characters are the bane to good and evil alike.
@@zacharygadzinski3147 A good reason for their initial separation
Is no one going to talk about the moment where Keyleth says "I just hope we're not the darkness." and Tiberius just says "Oh, do you need light?" and then uses his light spell. I laughed so hard at that!
Keyleth is reaching some self importance but sounds incredibly stupid.
Orion is amazing at showing what low wisdom is
@@theinevitablemadness8881 Yeahh I get the point she's trying to make but I feel Marisha doesn't understand that it makes no sense in the context of the world. If Lady Kima follows a God of good alignment, then she is good, and anything her God tells her to do is good. It's that simple, so this whole 'How do you know what you're doing is right?' angle doesn't make any sense, she KNOWS what she's doing is right because an OMNIPOTENT GOD FUCKING SAID SO.
@@NarutoUzumaki-jg4pw that really depends on how much importance you give to the alignment system. I personally find the black and white interpretation quite boring. In my view "this god is lawful good" is an observation by humans/dwarfs/elfs/... and no inherent property of that god. I like to think that orcs view Grumsh as good.
And just because you follow a good god does not justify every deed. Even devout followers can go to far (see Pike for an example)
@@sammelm5357 It has nothing to do with the alignment system, but hey obviously you can homebrew it however you want. But there's not much point in discussing homebrew now is there?
When Matt did that voice for Kvarn, I immediately thaught of Hermaeus Mora from the Elder Scrolls, really makes your skin crawl good, amazing job Matt!
I love how klaroda seemed to legit be pleased that they offered for him to stay with them. I kinda love that. I fully expect him to be like "you guys? Hell no"
So much better with the chat window gone.
agreed
+Martin Banno hell yeah, they just pissed me off : v
+Daniel Evans It went too fast to read anyway...
too negative
There were fun things in the chat window, but yeah, it was too distracting, I was forever squinting to read it and then realise I'd missed some dialogue.
"Bio-luminescent fungal forest." Dammit, in Blackreach again XD
Every road leads to black reach

And, once again, you can't drop Serana as a companion...
Begin looking for a bunch of red herbs that make an annoying noise.
I liked the part where they talk and comfort Keyleth. They don't do a lot of roleplaying unless it's for laughs (which I certainly don't mind, it's hilarious) so is it's to see a serious moment like this.
“There aren’t usually this many penis jokes”
*distant TMN laughs*
*Laughs in Jester Lavorre*
TBF, when Jester does them it is adorable...
Let chaos reign!!!
Let chaos reign!!!
I love how each of the players seem to be playing the perfect kind of character for their body type/personality. Like I can see Marisha as an elven druid, Orion as a dragonborn, Sam as a gnome - and Travis is just the perfect goliath.
Only thing is Travis is actually really smart
+Stefani IsTheCutest but damn can he act good as a dumb fuck XD
+Kiero Vance™ (Kyrobolt) I can't tell if your grammar is intentionally ironic or not.
+Czieg czieg Really, you're gonna be that guy..? Go outside, bro. There are more interesting ways to fill your time than worrying about people's grammar on the internet.
Mm, Taliesin makes a great imitation of a human.
vex low key stealing vax's armour? as a twin myself that sounds accurate ^_^;;
That whole freaking bit at 1:24:38 about THE WHISPER Travis is so fcking funny he's like a big kid 😂 I love these guys lol
Lady Keemah : 'You caught me at a rough time"
Keyleth: "understandable"
how did you spell her name so abhorrently wrong?
Orion's sound effects are probably my favorite thing. "I take out my bottle of air."
*Thoomp*
2:33:19 timestamp:)
They start at 16:44 for you impatient folk.
I've gotten into the routine of fast forwarding to about 15:30 in every video. appreciate the thought though, thank you
If skipping 30 minutes every video for content that I've already seen/listened to more than once before makes me "impatient", then I'm guilty as charged.
That's all we needed to hear. Take him away, boys.
Thank you :)
King Toasty
Scanlan coming our here with the SHADE, like God damn son, didn't know you casted vicious mockery again
“hold on, that’s unfair!”
“why?”
*whispered* “he insight checked you, keyleth, he insight checked you!”
i love them
after Sam (Scanlan) said "it's like a square" at around 1:50:15, I just lost it. I'm convinced he's just always in character in his daily life
Scanlan is a toned down version of Sam.
@@elbruces Based on his ads and outfits, I don't even consider this a joke.
The cube!
I would have LOVED to hear Pike's input on the debate
2:28:26 “there aren’t usually this many penis jokes in a session folks” and then Jester happened
The latest episode is literally called "devoutness and dicks"😂😂 (campaign 2 episode 107)
My reaction to that comment was "There WILL be!"
And for anyone curious, I think the total dick count was like 90 something mentions. Critrole stats everybody!!
@@asimpletrashgoblin8109 Critrole Stats: doing the Important Work since 2015
yeah i had to laugh at how quickly he changed the subject every time there was a dick joke in this episode after i got caught up on the mighty nien arc (this is as far as i have gotten in the VM campaign so i dont know if it will change later on or not)
I like to imagine that when queen allura reappeared from banishment all the party memeber were just standing around her arms cross and shes just like
