@@Mikeztarp I'd argue the M9 wasn't. That was more of a group project where most of the people were actually doing their thing except, once a week, someone decided to take a week off until the presentation turned to a shitshow and the had to call the TA for help.
@@Darthwingwell once you know something it's hard to forget it unless you're extremely drunk I've found if you are gonna pass you're gonna pass at least for me it's not so much what you'll remember during the test it's that you already know the answers so being sober doesnt change that, you either know or you dont
I’m so glad they’re still doing the creepy whispers when Laudna casts Sending. They’re not leaning into it as hard as they were, which is sad, but they haven’t given up on it. It’s my favorite gag of this campaign
my favorite part of the groups fear of rugs is that its not metagaming as the groups first major encounter involved a rug that tried to kill them and it set a precedent.
@@weepingwalnut The first fight they had was against furniture and a rug. There's nothing preventing them from being suspicious of furniture and rugs now.
I love the idea of Bell's Hells winning this through Home Alone pranks. Just one team looking a little bedraggled and singed but mostly okay. While the other is just covered in flour and lentils and comically shaped bruises.
It's also poetic, since Chet was LITERALLY just subjecting others to this same level of chicanery. The rest of the Hells just added a lightning trap to the mix
JESUS KNOCKS ON YOUR HEART AND LONGS FOR YOU TO ANSWER! HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE PERISH INTO HELL. GOD LOVES YOU SO HE GIVES YOU FREE WILL AND A CHOICE TO ACCEPT HIM OR REJECT HIM. TO LOVE HIM OR TO LOVE SIN/THIS WORLD. CALL UPON JESUS & ASK HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS! SURRENDER YOUR WILL & YOUR LIFE TO HIM & HE WILL GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN! PICTURE YOUR BEST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HEAVEN! NOW PICTURE YOUR WORST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HELL! HE WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT SO IF YOU REJECT HIM YOU WILL BE SEPARATED FROM HIM & HIS BLESSINGS (LOVE, PEACE, JOY, HOPE, REST, ETC). IN HELL YOU WILL BE ALONE WITHOUT GOD OR PEOPLE... YOU WILL BE HOPELESS, IN DESPAIR & AGONY FOREVER! GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD/GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE! HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE & TOOK THE WRATH OF THE FATHER ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS! GOD IS JUST SO HE MUST PUNISH SIN & HE IS HOLY SO NO SIN CAN ENTER HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST ON JUDGEMENT DAY GOD WILL SEE YOU AS HIS PERFECT SON (SINLESS SINCE YOUR SINS ARE COVERED BY JESUS' OFFERING). YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT/SACRIFICE & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT WITH HIM & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS TO HIM. YOU'RE NOT A GOOD PERSON, I'M NOT A GOOD PERSON... ONLY GOD IS GOOD!

@View BotI'm sorry if i gave the impression i was throwing hate to the person that wrote the comment, i was just frustrated that the preview changed from time stamps to this...i guess i didn't explain myself well enough, I'm sorry
I love how Liam had characters with deeply rooted, brooding, intricate traits for C1 & C2, and then this campaign is like "Hi im halfling. small halfling. Teeny weenie itsy bitsy flea-sized halfling. I'm a halfling that is so very tiny. It's me, the halfling that is smaller than everyone."
Yup, no sadness in Orym, nope, nothing to see here... lol. 😉 I get what you mean, I'm glad Liam has lighten up a bit and seems to be having a lot of fun with a bit of whimsy. He's still going to rip our hearts out and set them on fire later of course, but I'm enjoying the fun while it lasts.
@@KristenWood317 in fairness to Liam, Vax was also a light character to start with, then his life kind of became a series of ever increasing nightmares. (also Liam was going through some stuff IRL so it was probably some catharsis as well).
@@mayaenglish5424 And still has managed to create one of the most interesting characters at the table because he just understands people and what makes them tick.
@@sirephlyrrian6242 Laudna is the Anti-Jester of Campaign 3: both are the purest souls in the room and both have entirely too much power with their sending spells.
@@CptObvious They could still do a show live for an audience at a convention, and the recording goes up on Twitch/RUclips later Call it a special treat for the Critters who show up
This is an amazing episode, but the moment I love most is when Matt ends the game and the cast loses their minds. After all these years, they still love playing this much
As a DM, nothing fills my heart more than everyone's excitement when they learn that the book is Vespin's journal. Home brewing is a lot of work. I would be touched just to know that my players remembered a bad guy's name, let alone were so excited that they considered setting off traps mid-mission just for a potential lore dump. I mean, Vespin hasn't even been mentioned in a campaign to my knowledge, just in the books and the special history video. Their investment is a testament to Matt's quality storytelling.
The lore runs so deep and it’s just the juiciest content to soak in. I gush over the tid bits from the books as well as the past campaigns. It’s a shame at times when things get overlooked or swept by the wayside, understandable with any campaign but it almost makes me wish CR had a team actively making notes for the PCs specifically, like a rundown on what their character would actively be knowledgeable of to avoid the parts of any session that create more confusion and wasted time. It would also offer much cleaner and intelligent RP from the dedicated players that also have day jobs. Going over the rules consistently is to be expected, but when key details are missed that the characters would obviously remember it does start to detract from the immersion in my personal opinion
I remember Hexum saying that they’d get a bonus if they humiliated Hytroga while doing the heist… I’m curious to see if anyone is going to remember that and if it comes up again. Would be great if someone drew mustaches and glasses on all the selfie paintings.
Guessing not. Would have been real funny but there was already a lot going on in this epsode without it and most of it was comedy before the marionettes showed up.
Ashton said that's what his papers are for. He's gonna hand em over to Hexum and let her decide if whatever the enchantment is hiding is worth a bonus.
Welp, time to add another entry to the list of encounters carried by Fearne. Between her success in setting off the trap behind her this episode, using the Entangle/Scorching Ray combo this episode, and using Sunlight to weaken the entire Shade Creeper enclave, Fearne is starting to look like the MVP of this team. Maybe you could even call her... the GOAT. 🐐
@@joshgreer784 And general waste of Pike’s spells. Only nearing Vecna’s fight does Ashley start using buffs lmao And before that, Pike only uses buffs when being Jaegered by Liam/Laura
Fearne def shines in those situations, esp shade creeper sunlight where it might not be as noticeable (since people only see the final result, not what would have been rolled otherwise). Still hilarious to imagine them spending minutes trying to cut Orymn out as opposed to just.... instantly dropping conc on the spell lol
Marisha Blocked the door with immovable rod. Rogue from another side; - This door is a being of evil! It's cursed... It is f...ing cursed! I Swear to you!
I was really hoping she was planning to do her form of dread right as the door opened and force a wisdom save on the other team but the immovable rod thing worked better i think.
@@JDStone-jg8cg I WISHED Chetney would set wired trap on a stairs, would Unhide, Go full Rogue-Werewolf and Quote Watchmen... "It's not me locked in here with you... It is you locked in here with me!" And there goes Wire trap, balls on the stairs (in every meaning there is xD), Travis's sly laugh and Hide again :D So much potential for absolute D**kery... and so little time. ;D
Fearne after incinerating 3 of the creepy puppets at 2:4:30: "I'm sorry, Chetney, it just turns out I'm really good at killing wood." Best double entendre of the episode :-).
True. But damn, that was a brutal trap. This mf straight up told the team that his defenses were mostly non-lethal, and then he dropped a guy 60 feet down a dark tunnel into what was effectively a vat of acid. If I were Bell's Hells, I'd have some CHOICE words for the man responsible once the challenge is complete.
2:19:50 that is SO DAMN GOOD how he does the skittering forward, it's like he practiced in the mirror after being theoretically unsatisfied with the performance for that encounter with The Lost in C2
This is the same guy that when Laudna almost died in the Shade Mother fight immediately raged and attacked the creature even though he was critically injured
I really like how this campaign is shaping up for the characters to face their demons or possibly turn against their friends. FCG malfunctioning and having parttial amnesia, Laudna having Delilah in her head, Imogen being tempted by the purple stone, and now Chet losing himself a bit to his feral side. I love inner-party conflict.
All that we need left is Fearne giving in to her kleptomania, Ashton getting pissed beyond humane belief, and Orym… missing Dorian and Bertrand, I guess.
Well to be fair FCG secretly being dangerous is just a fan theory at this point. But I agree. There's also potential for Ashton to just turn against them period given his history he keeps close to his chest. I don't really see Fearne and Orym being corrupted at the moment. Orym seems very protective of his friends (his fighting style greatly involves getting attention away from the party and onto him) and Fearne may cause issues with her kleptomania, but she's not really corrupted by it or anything. If we ever get to a point where all the issues pile up on each other, I could see Fearne and Orym being the two remaining party members with big hearts who want to find a way to stop things from crumbling.
@@smoogieboogie1694 What do you mean Fearne has a big heart? She seems mildly sociopathic at times. In particular, she didn’t care about hitting the two guards the first time the group encountered Lady Emoth. At other times, she has done things that could cause serious problems for the group for her own amusement. She knowingly and deliberately jeopardized everyone by wearing Treshi’s ring. She never appears to consider how her thefts might impact the people she steals from. I don’t think someone who does whatever they want with no concern for the wellbeing of others can be described as having a “big heart.” This would be consistent with her being fey. They aren’t actively malevolent, but don’t care at all how what they do impacts others.
@@smoogieboogie1694 True, we don't know yet if FCG is legit dangerous, but we know Matt has him taking some sort of points? Even if it's something like humanity or sanity based, I think it's gonna be really interesting. I agree on Fearne and Orym. Maybe Orym could go down the path of vengeance with his loss, but he seems relatively at peace and understanding of his own grief.
@@qxuto8545 I mean she has a big heart specifically in regards to her friends. Remember when she was desperately trying to stop Dorian from leaving? Or how she’s been checking in on Imogen as much as Laudna does? Or how she always sleeps big spoon little spoon with Orym? Or even just in this episode when she heard a clatter from the kitchen and immediately rushed off to check on him “because it’s Orym”. Being mischievous doesn’t mean she doesn’t care about those she’s close to.
@@eliseb8347 that does show as matt. but those subtitles always confused me . 'from the healer' shows as being sung by travis but it always sounds like liam singing to me. could be i just need better audio equipment.
2:45:03 "I had the Ring-Pop... and I think I just put it in my drawer! Totally opened --" "No, no, no! I hid it!" "Oh my god!" "I hid it from you." I love how even after years and two campaigns later, these two still act like siblings.
That Nord VPN spot, with Ashley and Laura, I couldn't help but think, there's some character work by two highly respected, BAFTA winning actresses here, yup.
The little bits about the owner's super kische, narcissistic little plaques and paintings and the other team getting hit by things too, is seriously gold.
@@M00nSlippers Agreed. The selfie portraits and "mysterious" museum descriptions are what got me. Every time Matt read off the placard for an exhibit, I could hear Hytroga giggling to himself over how clever he must have felt. Even when he's writing shit like, _"Perhaps this journal still holds a fraction of its former power..."_ His enthusiasm is contagious.
I can't make up my mind whether Fearne is checking out all the plaques because she's thorough and curious, or because Ashley just wants to hear all of Matt's little jokes in the descriptions... 😅
It's always great whenever the episode does its first cut to the cast and you can instantly tell it's going to be a Nord VPN-sponsored episode tonight. (Was NOT ready for the return of the terrifying Laura-Sam hybrid...poor Travis.)
I don't think I've ever seen/heard a sickest burn than Liam saying to Sam "Should've been a Halfling" after his Nat 1 on the puppets encounter... NEVER
It must have been sounding pretty insane for the other group when they heard a lot of maniacal laughter come from that locked room while hearing fire being tossed around and other sounds of battle.

Oh god, yeah. There are some traps that would have easily been handled with Dorian around. He could have easily used his Winged Boots to pick up Chetney when he fell on the gelatinous cube. He could have used Shatter to break that glass (after Fearne used Dispel Magic, assuming the glass was magical) Matthew Mercer, you devious man.
IT is weird indeed. Everywhere I comment, people tell me how much they love me and my content. Sometimes IT is annoying. But right now, IT would be okay. So say something nice about my content, dear joe
@@AxxLAfriku lets not be too self indulgent... I'm sure you could gain support by being yourself, but posting a you did isn't the way you're coming off more as narcissistic :/
I just want to let you know my kitten was being restless, and once everyone started joining on Laudna's whisper's he fell right asleep. I should be scared when he grows
I can’t blame them, CHVRCHES is a killer band, and Screen Violence is a killer album - my partner and I have some matching band merch, CHVRCHES included
I love Travis' physicality as Chetney, especially Chetney's invisible backing away. Just an invisible old gnome duck walking backwards with jazz hands.
Misophonia timestamps, crucial heisting equipment! Especially for this one, since there's a lot going on in the latter half of the episode, including some cronches. Parse it all below: 1:27:04 to break (2:12:04) - Travis, chewing gum (some smacking sounds around 1:32:04, keep volume low or use cc) 2:12:34 to 2:24:04 - Travis eating chips (crisps), crunching, on/off 2:17:34 to 2:19:34 - Ashley eating 2:28:19 to 2:31:19 - Liam, quiet eating 2:38:04 to 2:39:44 - Travis, rustling and chewing 2:38:34 to 2:43:04 - Ashley, rustling and chewing 2:38:44 to 2:41:44 - Liam, chewing 2:42:04 to 2:44:04 - Laura, rustling then licking ringpop (Liam steals it) 2:45:04 to 2:47:04 - Laura gets ringpop back, it gets stuck to her hair :( RIP 2:52:24 to 2:55:34 - Liam, chewing And as always, find further timestamps and info on criticalmisophonia on the hellsite that I think this channel may have in its spam filter, which I cannot blame them for.
Spoiler Free Summary: This week, we get a combination of Mission Impossible, Home Alone and Indiana Jones. Also, fantasy selfies is a thing apparently?
@@patrickshade3844 didn't at one point Keyleth tried to do a selfie stick joke and matt made a TPK joke because of it or something? I can't remember, its been SO long XD!
Ok I'm listening to Laura peddle that nested doll, and I came up with an idea. One of those dolls that talks when you pull the string in back. It's Sprinkle with all of Travis' different woe-is-me quotes. No idea if someone already came up with it, but I thought people might like it.
Love how Chet just gets to work checking doors for traps, locks, and lock pick checks. Travis is here to roll as many checks as possible and I really can't blame him
So this is the episode....about 300 episodes, each somewhat 4h long but I did it! I now have to wait a week in between episodes to watch something new. Because I am up tp date now! Thank you for two awesome journeys and one in the making!
Congrats- I just recently caught up myself. Campaign 2 was my favorite from the beginning but I'm starting to get into the characters in c3 a little more too- I feel like Ashley is really coming into her own as a cast member with Fearne. Great show, great cast of people, and a great community of followers- critters are so kind and inviting, and generous at that! Glad you have to suffer the weekly wait with the rest of us now :)
Dude!! I’m 20 episodes behind and I tried to catch up but every time I see a new video I’m like nooo give me more timeees. You gave my hope though. One day I’ll catch up😂😂
I'm currently watching C1E17, just came here cause I saw a gif of Liam stealing Laura's candy thing and wanted to see it lol See you once I catch up to this in like 5 years
While each campaign can be watched sepsrately, I was one that watched 1 then 2 now 3 ( probably should have watched Exandria too). It's a journey. And a fun one. Enjoy.
@@pelicanofpunishment6 I did the same thing, and I don't regret it one bit! It's the right way to watch imo, it's great to see the story enfold and the world getting bigger, and also seeing them all develop as players.
I love the moment of Fearne holding on to the bars with heat metal as she pulls them apart, utilizing her wildfire druid to do so. That's a wonderful way for a DM to engage player characters and stretch the written limits of abilities! Creativity over rule lawyering 💪🏼
Fearne isn't "Immune or Resistant" to Fire Damage, but as seen in EXU, Aabria decided that she can use her hands to touch EXTREMELY hot things like willing Mister into existence or reaching into the ash hole. I love that Matt continues to lean into her ruling!
3:14:40 FCG: we got to talk about this. Wolf chetney: can you heal me just a little FCG: you just attacked Orym. Wolf chetney: it might be better for all of us. I died.

I’m so glad they’re still doing the creepy whispers when Laudna casts Sending. They’re not leaning into it as hard as they were, which is sad, but they haven’t given up on it. It’s my favorite gag of this campaign
eh honestly got annoying kinda quick :/
I enjoy it, too! Adds a little something extra creepy and fun
I play along at home
I couldn't do that for a 3+ year campaign. I like where it's landed, personally.
If one of my players has an undead patron, I would encourage it too.
I also hope the gag keeps going. It’s pretty funny.
my favorite part of the groups fear of rugs is that its not metagaming as the groups first major encounter involved a rug that tried to kill them and it set a precedent.
Also, a rug almost killed Marisha's last PC.

There's nothing preventing them from being suspicious of furniture and rugs now.

I love how quick FCG went from “Are they still breathing?” to “I can torture them more if ya want?”
Dude has consistently been quick to torture, across the campaigns.
I love how Liam had characters with deeply rooted, brooding, intricate traits for C1 & C2, and then this campaign is like "Hi im halfling. small halfling. Teeny weenie itsy bitsy flea-sized halfling. I'm a halfling that is so very tiny. It's me, the halfling that is smaller than everyone."
Yup, no sadness in Orym, nope, nothing to see here... lol. 😉 I get what you mean, I'm glad Liam has lighten up a bit and seems to be having a lot of fun with a bit of whimsy. He's still going to rip our hearts out and set them on fire later of course, but I'm enjoying the fun while it lasts.

As a DM, nothing fills my heart more than everyone's excitement when they learn that the book is Vespin's journal. Home brewing is a lot of work. I would be touched just to know that my players remembered a bad guy's name, let alone were so excited that they considered setting off traps mid-mission just for a potential lore dump.
I mean, Vespin hasn't even been mentioned in a campaign to my knowledge, just in the books and the special history video. Their investment is a testament to Matt's quality storytelling.
| _... and the special history video_
Where might one find this video, if I may ask
@@T0NI_ It should be on RUclips, if you just search for the History of Exandria. It's short, narrated by Matt with some dope artwork
@@jacobtrost5048 oh, that one. I just didn't remember this Vespin person being mentioned in that. Thank you for the response, though :)
@@T0NI_ I think he is very briefly. Makes it all the more impressive that they all remember him!
The lore runs so deep and it’s just the juiciest content to soak in. I gush over the tid bits from the books as well as the past campaigns.
It’s a shame at times when things get overlooked or swept by the wayside, understandable with any campaign but it almost makes me wish CR had a team actively making notes for the PCs specifically, like a rundown on what their character would actively be knowledgeable of to avoid the parts of any session that create more confusion and wasted time. It would also offer much cleaner and intelligent RP from the dedicated players that also have day jobs. Going over the rules consistently is to be expected, but when key details are missed that the characters would obviously remember it does start to detract from the immersion in my personal opinion
I remember Hexum saying that they’d get a bonus if they humiliated Hytroga while doing the heist… I’m curious to see if anyone is going to remember that and if it comes up again. Would be great if someone drew mustaches and glasses on all the selfie paintings.
Guessing not. Would have been real funny but there was already a lot going on in this epsode without it and most of it was comedy before the marionettes showed up.
Ashton said that's what his papers are for. He's gonna hand em over to Hexum and let her decide if whatever the enchantment is hiding is worth a bonus.
If Jester was there with her paints the humiliation would be deep and long lasting. A Crimson Weasel would be laughing Manically on her shoulder

Welp, time to add another entry to the list of encounters carried by Fearne. Between her success in setting off the trap behind her this episode, using the Entangle/Scorching Ray combo this episode, and using Sunlight to weaken the entire Shade Creeper enclave, Fearne is starting to look like the MVP of this team. Maybe you could even call her... the GOAT. 🐐

True D&D
True. But damn, that was a brutal trap. This mf straight up told the team that his defenses were mostly non-lethal, and then he dropped a guy 60 feet down a dark tunnel into what was effectively a vat of acid.

This is the same guy that when Laudna almost died in the Shade Mother fight immediately raged and attacked the creature even though he was critically injured
I really like how this campaign is shaping up for the characters to face their demons or possibly turn against their friends. FCG malfunctioning and having parttial amnesia, Laudna having Delilah in her head, Imogen being tempted by the purple stone, and now Chet losing himself a bit to his feral side. I love inner-party conflict.
All that we need left is Fearne giving in to her kleptomania, Ashton getting pissed beyond humane belief, and Orym… missing Dorian and Bertrand, I guess.
Well to be fair FCG secretly being dangerous is just a fan theory at this point. But I agree. There's also potential for Ashton to just turn against them period given his history he keeps close to his chest. I don't really see Fearne and Orym being corrupted at the moment. Orym seems very protective of his friends (his fighting style greatly involves getting attention away from the party and onto him) and Fearne may cause issues with her kleptomania, but she's not really corrupted by it or anything. If we ever get to a point where all the issues pile up on each other, I could see Fearne and Orym being the two remaining party members with big hearts who want to find a way to stop things from crumbling.
@@smoogieboogie1694 What do you mean Fearne has a big heart? She seems mildly sociopathic at times. In particular, she didn’t care about hitting the two guards the first time the group encountered Lady Emoth. At other times, she has done things that could cause serious problems for the group for her own amusement. She knowingly and deliberately jeopardized everyone by wearing Treshi’s ring. She never appears to consider how her thefts might impact the people she steals from. I don’t think someone who does whatever they want with no concern for the wellbeing of others can be described as having a “big heart.” This would be consistent with her being fey. They aren’t actively malevolent, but don’t care at all how what they do impacts others.
@@smoogieboogie1694 True, we don't know yet if FCG is legit dangerous, but we know Matt has him taking some sort of points? Even if it's something like humanity or sanity based, I think it's gonna be really interesting.
I agree on Fearne and Orym. Maybe Orym could go down the path of vengeance with his loss, but he seems relatively at peace and understanding of his own grief.
@@qxuto8545 I mean she has a big heart specifically in regards to her friends. Remember when she was desperately trying to stop Dorian from leaving? Or how she’s been checking in on Imogen as much as Laudna does? Or how she always sleeps big spoon little spoon with Orym? Or even just in this episode when she heard a clatter from the kitchen and immediately rushed off to check on him “because it’s Orym”. Being mischievous doesn’t mean she doesn’t care about those she’s close to.
I don’t care how many times I hear it- Matt’s “we all share the same goal” in the opening: Angelic.
Wait, is that Matt? Idk why but I thought that bit was Travis

@@M00nSlippers Agreed. The selfie portraits and "mysterious" museum descriptions are what got me.

His enthusiasm is contagious.
Gave me major Philosopher's Stone Vibes with each room having a new puzzle\challenge.

3:27:50 Orym: "I will stand in front of people, that's my job."
I must say. I LOVED the puppet fight, and the way Matt burst forward at 2:19:45 made me cackle
Recycled trick from campaign 2. But it's been long enough that the whole gang still fell for it
Matts kind-hearted "congratulations thats a failure", around 1:31:15, will stay with me forever
3:33:43 The very subtle tug on Matt's lips when they realized Dorian could break the glass... This man knows what he's doing. 😂
Oh god, yeah. There are some traps that would have easily been handled with Dorian around.
He could have easily used his Winged Boots to pick up Chetney when he fell on the gelatinous cube.
He could have used Shatter to break that glass (after Fearne used Dispel Magic, assuming the glass was magical)
Matthew Mercer, you devious man.
Not sure how the group got stuck in the home alone house but here we are.
IT is weird indeed. Everywhere I comment, people tell me how much they love me and my content. Sometimes IT is annoying. But right now, IT would be okay. So say something nice about my content, dear joe
😱 ahhhhhhh
Keep the change, ya filthy animal!
@@AxxLAfriku lets not be too self indulgent... I'm sure you could gain support by being yourself, but posting a you did isn't the way you're coming off more as narcissistic :/
@@houndgirl7365 it’s a bot, it posts this stuff in comments on all kinds of videos
I just want to let you know my kitten was being restless, and once everyone started joining on Laudna's whisper's he fell right asleep. I should be scared when he grows
Mine did the same damn thing, what the hell??
May I point out: Matt and Marisha quietly twinning shirts is hecking cute
I can’t blame them, CHVRCHES is a killer band, and Screen Violence is a killer album - my partner and I have some matching band merch, CHVRCHES included
I love Travis' physicality as Chetney, especially Chetney's invisible backing away. Just an invisible old gnome duck walking backwards with jazz hands.
i just realize how brilliant it is to setup a heist on a museum just for the world building really nice touch there
Misophonia timestamps, crucial heisting equipment! Especially for this one, since there's a lot going on in the latter half of the episode, including some cronches. Parse it all below:
1:27:04 to break (2:12:04) - Travis, chewing gum (some smacking sounds around 1:32:04, keep volume low or use cc)
2:12:34 to 2:24:04 - Travis eating chips (crisps), crunching, on/off
2:17:34 to 2:19:34 - Ashley eating
2:28:19 to 2:31:19 - Liam, quiet eating
2:38:04 to 2:39:44 - Travis, rustling and chewing
2:38:34 to 2:43:04 - Ashley, rustling and chewing
2:38:44 to 2:41:44 - Liam, chewing
2:42:04 to 2:44:04 - Laura, rustling then licking ringpop (Liam steals it) 2:45:04 to 2:47:04 - Laura gets ringpop back, it gets stuck to her hair :( RIP
2:52:24 to 2:55:34 - Liam, chewing
And as always, find further timestamps and info on criticalmisophonia on the hellsite that I think this channel may have in its spam filter, which I cannot blame them for.
It makes me unreasonably sad that Laura didn't seize the opportunity to say "sit" to Chutney with command. That would've been a highlight :D
Chutney 😂😂😂😂😂
Like Kagome would Inuyasha!!!
Between "Pock-a-pea" and "On the dais on the dais", this episode was truly inspired
The way Ashley shakes her hair while screaming was very Muppet like. She would make a good Muppet.
That just makes me think of Hot Fuzz
Marisha at the end: "the things this box has seen..."
Sam: "... a Marisha Ray story."
Ahh yes. The Critical Role team vs inanimate objects. I know who I’ve got my money on!
it seems like this campaigns goal is to not fight people.
@Aggromemnon or a certain chunk of rock in the sky…
Spoiler Free Summary:
This week, we get a combination of Mission Impossible, Home Alone and Indiana Jones.
Also, fantasy selfies is a thing apparently?
Fantasy Selfies appeared in Campaign 1, they've been a thing for a while now
@@patrickshade3844 didn't at one point Keyleth tried to do a selfie stick joke and matt made a TPK joke because of it or something? I can't remember, its been SO long XD!
@@Laughing_Dragon Yes, that happened, no I don't remember when
Can't wait for the Pock a Pee t shirt with secret agent Chetney on it.
Doing the mission impossible wired drop...
dude as Matt I would be so happy seeing the players get so excited by a small piece of lore. Warms my heart.
Honestly, compared to the other heists they've pulled off, this went better than I expected
I’m just nervously remembering MN trying to get those anti scry necklaces
Me as Chetney gets blasted by the statues, falling into the ballbearings: ... the new home alone movie looks great
Matt at 1:31:00 just going round the circle overjoyed like “failure : )”
Ok I'm listening to Laura peddle that nested doll, and I came up with an idea. One of those dolls that talks when you pull the string in back. It's Sprinkle with all of Travis' different woe-is-me quotes. No idea if someone already came up with it, but I thought people might like it.
That would be amazing
@@devinward461
:)
I need that

Hopefully they'll notice this thread.
*_she won't let me diie_*
Love how Chet just gets to work checking doors for traps, locks, and lock pick checks. Travis is here to roll as many checks as possible and I really can't blame him
I have to say, I really love Ashley's laugh. It's so full bodied and hearty, makes me smile everytime I hear it
2:19:55 the way Liam is banging on the table here. Hes so happy for the jumpscare
I had no idea who Vespin Chloras was the first time I watched this. After watching Calamity, it hits a lot different!
I love how Ashley has somehow always managed to save AGAINST being helped out of mind control/illusion spells despite her famously bad rolls 🤣
Liam during the puppet fight just be like: *sympathetically* "Awe [how tragic]. Should have been a Halfling." *normal* "[Anyway...]16!"
So this is the episode....about 300 episodes, each somewhat 4h long but I did it! I now have to wait a week in between episodes to watch something new. Because I am up tp date now!
Thank you for two awesome journeys and one in the making!
Congratulations traveller. I'm at the start of the journey you've just had! Episode 18 campaign 1. SO much to see 😂
Congrats- I just recently caught up myself. Campaign 2 was my favorite from the beginning but I'm starting to get into the characters in c3 a little more too- I feel like Ashley is really coming into her own as a cast member with Fearne. Great show, great cast of people, and a great community of followers- critters are so kind and inviting, and generous at that! Glad you have to suffer the weekly wait with the rest of us now :)
Ah, welcome friend, enjoy the rest of this madness as it unfolds with us!
Congrats!! Now you can truly say it with us: IS IT THURSDAY YET?
Dude!! I’m 20 episodes behind and I tried to catch up but every time I see a new video I’m like nooo give me more timeees. You gave my hope though. One day I’ll catch up😂😂
I will never get over the 2 Jesters subcription bit. It's distilled perfection.
I can't stand Orym being such and adorable short king all the time, I love him so much
2:44:00 Vax'ildan makes an appearance to prank his sister.
He did it so calmly too 🤣
I'm currently watching C1E17, just came here cause I saw a gif of Liam stealing Laura's candy thing and wanted to see it lol
See you once I catch up to this in like 5 years
goodluck man! i started in january and have been watching almost every day, i believe in you!
i'm on episode 49 rn!
While each campaign can be watched sepsrately, I was one that watched 1 then 2 now 3 ( probably should have watched Exandria too). It's a journey. And a fun one. Enjoy.
@@pelicanofpunishment6 I did the same thing, and I don't regret it one bit! It's the right way to watch imo, it's great to see the story enfold and the world getting bigger, and also seeing them all develop as players.
There’s such joy in this dungeon! It’s so light-hearted, but still challenging. This was a really fun episode!
Forks, windows, rugs, I love how Critical Role makes mundane things scary!
This episode was so much fun. Love a heist with low stakes but great possible reward. It allows for so much more shenanigans.
I love the moment of Fearne holding on to the bars with heat metal as she pulls them apart, utilizing her wildfire druid to do so. That's a wonderful way for a DM to engage player characters and stretch the written limits of abilities! Creativity over rule lawyering 💪🏼
Fearne isn't "Immune or Resistant" to Fire Damage, but as seen in EXU, Aabria decided that she can use her hands to touch EXTREMELY hot things like willing Mister into existence or reaching into the ash hole. I love that Matt continues to lean into her ruling!
It is now canon that Orym cannot move without pitter patting.
And he cannot assist without smiling.
3:14:40
FCG: we got to talk about this.
Wolf chetney: can you heal me just a little
FCG: you just attacked Orym.
Wolf chetney: it might be better for all of us.
I died.
I'm disappointed no one made a family jewels joke when Ashton got cup checked.
Thank you for this.
the immovable rod is the most OP magical item in the game. Oh the shennanigans
For an uncommon magic item. It sure is
ill never forget scanlan putting it *inside* a dragon, so cruelly effective
And she left it behind…
Several times....Matt has let them retcon a few times or said it was obvious like Trinket in the PokeBall while stealthing.
