Nott: “Can you talk to Animals or plants or both?”
Cad, with an IQ of 1: “Oh Yeah.”

[@eric_moore-6126]

Even an Intelligence of 1 is probably higher than an IQ of 1, and Cad's Intelligence was 9.

[@nuru666]

This is, hands down, my favourite Caduceus moment. Just so in-tune with the character. "Not cool man; not cool."

[@AksentNethariaFilm]

"Can you talk to animals or plants or both?"
"Oh, yeah."

[@Dreggerboy]

Man Matt was ready for that derail.

[@gctypo2838]

"Not cool, man."

[@LittleBlueAngelDuck]

To be fair, when I was a guest at my best friend's Dnd session and we were trying to get out of an underwater dungeon they just rescued my character from, he (drow druid) asked a snail for directions, put the snail gently on his hand and the snail showed them the way out just by pointing with its little antenna like things.

[@fin-as-drago9479]

That's just genius, I imagine the party were confused why they were being given direction by a snail. Though on offer the benefits of a being a druid.

[@LittleBlueAngelDuck]

@@fin-as-drago9479 yep, the Magician said to my character "wtf dude" when I started talking with a fish and the snail. We made it back without a scratch though.

[@Comrade2261]

That's awesome.

[@hannahdactylfliesagain4829]

*chef's kiss* Outstanding.

Cad being disappointed in me might hurt more a Beau punch

[@MerryMoss]

One of my favourite Caduceus moments ☺🐸

[@SeerOfTime577]

This is amazing.

[@somegirlfromgermany7659]

Up until that moment in the campaign, I missed Mollymauk more than I liked Caduceus. But this very moment, that was so funny in every way... That was the first moment, where my skepticism vanished all at once and I thought: Okay, Clay can stay! I LOVE Caduceus!

[@firapolemos3879]

Matt does a hilariously good toad noise.

[@mllwcrmpmpkn]

He's literally half kenku. The first time he baffled me with his the sounds he makes was when he perfectly imitated the sound of an uncorking bottle.

Nott: Do you speak to plants, or animals, or both-?
Caduceus: Yeah!

I like how he is really pissed but still doesn't resort to violence

[@WiseSageBum]

He's about as mad as it's possible for him to be lol

[@rexamillion8446]

How... how does he do so many animals?!

Matthew Calmert firebolg racial trait. Speech of Beast and Leaf

[@christinefarrell6438]

@@KC-zc8ic I think OP might be referring to Matt's animal noises, and I'm pretty sure the answer is because Matt is a magical fey creature. Just look at that hair!

[@jrdds]

I feel like all of this happened because they were all rolling like legends to this point...Matt's "Great!" being the exclamation point.

[@93.1cfis6]

If anyone had told me that in a D&D campaign, I would hear the question, "So are we following the frog then?", and it would make sense, I wouldn't have believed them.

[@quantumraptor1485]

I love how he was like “Yeah, dms giving us a lead!” And Matt was like “ha, that’s funny, NOPE”

[@willnelson9906]

i'd like to believe that matt and Taliesin telepathically communicate whenever caduceus talked to animals

[@ragediamonds]

Favorite part ever; "So you're just talking to the nature around you?" "Yeah." "Yeah?"...........

[@PurrloinQueen]

Caduceus has a mental warfare with a frog. One of the best bits in cr so far im dyig.

[@unstabletoad4825]

I would like to apologize on behalf of my kind

[@trixus4768]

Not cool man, not cool 😂😂😂

[@hannahdactylfliesagain4829]

It's okay, dude. Your people are not a monolith, what he did isn't your responsibility. Forgive yourself and do not apologise for him. Go and find yourself a nice crunchy moth to eat.

I made a post with that exact title in the Dudeism subreddit, with my Caduceus Clay cardigan.

[@noahwright2113]

Matt casually playing Diablo 2 and Skyrim music in the background is my favorite thing

[@LeeJ2512]

My favourite part was "So are we following the frog?" and Cad is like "Nahhhh he's no help to anybody"
