“Do you have a wife children anyone who would miss you?” Always a good start
Best answer: "Do you think if I did I'd be drinking this hard?"
That means "yes"
@@louismasters9299 ROFLMAO
So true
i wanted him to say "do you want to see a magic trick?" right after he asked that LOL
"Only good shit happens. Magic weapons. Wishes."
Never change Travis.
Haylox Didn't that magical weapons give him a minus 2 to saving throws or something? Either that or disadvantage? Not to good.
Yeah he should have and did get -2 to saves (maybe checks too?) instead of a Dancing Scimitar.
??? Um. Yes... I know it's not good. That's why I quoted Travis saying what he did... It was ironic.
Matt accidentally gave Travis the wrong card when he pulled originally, so he later retconned it as it was supposed to be the card that gives a permanent -2 to all saves.
Haylox 656
RULER OF THE INTERNET That is a bit silly.
A mistake like that is a failure on the GMs part and not that of the player so the GM should accept his mistake and let it slide.
Of course if the player says that he is willing to accept the price then there is no issue with rectifying the mistake.
5:53 *"Grog Strongjaw. Maker of Kings."* LOL
For some reason I've heard "baker of cakes"
And I was so confused until I've stumbled onto your comment.
@@nihili4196 I suppose that stranger heard that the same way as you did.
@@nihili4196 I heard that as well.
Even when Travis is lucky, he isn't.
Billy Siravo awww. :D
Lets be honest, later on in the campaign he pulled FIVE cards from the deck and none of them murdered him directly, thats lucky as hell :D
coming in from 7 years later to tell you no one will surpass the nat 20 after breaking out of the gem
Perfect Chaotic Neutral, character choice. Travis is spot on as always!
I honestly cannot wait to see what he has in store for his new character when this final arc is over. I feel like he created Grog back when he was brand new to role playing a character of his own and he's done wonders with the limitations Grog's intellect has put on him ever since. Easily one of the best RPers in the group. His new character is going to be absolutely fantastic.
TheApolloMyth Did something happen to Grog?
No but they've stated previously that this last week was the start of the final story arc for Vox Machina. Once this one's over, they're starting a new campaign with new characters somewhere in the future, where VM has become legends.
TheApolloMyth oh ok. They say how long this arc will be?
Goku61394 I agree about wanting to see him play a new character. If you watched a few of the one-shots, ie the Liam ones, esp where they are rogues from the Clasp, Travis plays a relatively intelligent character and has a absolute blast. I think he would be amazing with a character who has decent intelligence.
If only the stranger drew skull. And Grog just stood there as a random drunk guy got torn to pieces by an avatar of death.
That can happen? Good lord.
@@anthonysunseri1865 Yup. You have to fight this wraith thing to death and if anyone intervenes they have to fight one too.
Yeah, that's why u ask if they have a wife and kids first, lol
he was actually hoping for that to happen but instead he got wishes lmao
I remember fighting one and murdering it. I was kind of a glass cannon.
5 years, and 2 campaigns later, we finally get to meet Lord Preston Drodelon of the Quadroads
hell yeah
We did?
@@k3v1n73 In campaign 3
@polygon2745 what episode!? 😮 I need to see it!
@@CrazyDeeDeecan’t remember exactly but it’s during the ball they attended near the start of the Campgin, he was one of the guests they ran into, although of course none of the characters knew him IC
Edit: Episode 13, Dance of Deception most likely
I hope this unnamed character returns in the new campaign. If nothing else as just an easter egg
AquaThunderKnight17
If he wished for immortality, or even longevity, I could totally see that happening!
@Coran Baker It's only been 20 yrs, so not really a worry about being still alive.
Oh yes, please! He also has his second wish left.. He maybe could come from Wildermount originally. Or maybe wished to have a trading empire and so they might met him at a harbour :D
He's the gentleman *Dramatic music*
Part 1 of 2 of Grog trying to find the Lord of the Quadroads: ruclips.net/video/65L2WFErauY/видео.html
Everyone's shock face when Matt says "I still got one more of these things!" is great!
redch0pstick Ahahah dude they all looked at Matt like “NO. FUCKING. WAY!”
6:00
I had to rewatch that bit a few times to check out everyone's realization of what Matt has just said haha
Headcanon is that later in some epic fight this mysterious lord is just like "I wish grog was doing well. This is his doing, afterall..." and just... MAAAAAJOR Stat boost for a good long time
@@Badartist888 Absolute Headcanon
Naw
I hope they meet his child whos name is Grog.
The ending of the one shot of The Search of Grog proves that.
WELP
Love how of all the cards he could have drawn some deadly the drunkard drew literally the best possible card for himself.
C3 Spoilers:
Nearly five years later, this becomes relevant once again.
Wait how?
@@MrSpannners Spoilers for Campaign 3, Episode 13:
Bell's Hells go to a ball and meet Preston Drodelon. He talks about how he got his start as the Lord of the Quadroads, and Travis immediately realizes who it is: this random drunk from Campaign One
@@danielmay6694thanks for not actually spoiling with the spoiler! I literally just started C3 and am on episode 5
@danielmay6694 oh damn, I forgot about that one.
It was a fucking year did you not think this was gonna happen?? Prob the first week! True facts XD
Thats a cool idea for a villian - someone with the deck cataloging the effects of the cards on NPCs.
Brock Nokli oo! I might have to use this.
Thank goodness I watch these clips. My next session is in under 72 hours, and I’m DMing.
I love it
This is Nice idea
I am going to copy that for my next adventure, thanks
"Thanks Fella..." --- "Grooog Strongjaw" - I've never heard him have such careful enunciation. Lol.
I love how as soon as he says "The Deck of Many Things" Liam just looks at the camera like, "Welp. God help us now"
He looked like your guard dog when the burglar pets him.
Matt writing down that guys name on the dl. I see you
I just started watching these clips recently, has that guy made a comeback of sorts?
@@xendordawnburst9969 no unfortunately
@@gingerbill128 i mean they go looking for him
Here years later to say he definitely used it
@@xendordawnburst9969 Just recently, yes.
Amazing how Travis's deeds bring us all back to these cherished moments.
Who else is here from C3
Yep
4:05 ... when Matt realizes grogg just gave away the best card in the deck.
Thankfully, it goes back in the deck. Though he didn't ever draw it again.
Except Matt read the description wrong (twice!) and ruled that the card goes away. Whoops
Eh, makes sense that you can’t reuse them.
2:24 Wait, Matt just conjured a burp, for the sake of the scene. Dude.
This is odd to respond to since it was a while ago, but once you learn how to force out burps once, you always know.
It feels kinda weird at first, but once you get used to it you can swallow air and burp on command. Still a really nice touch that he didn't have to add though! The attention to detail is what makes him such a great actor and dm.
I can summon a burp on command. I learned when I was like 8 and have been able to do it since
Wait people just can't make themselves burp....
“Do you have a wife or family? Would you like another drink? I’ve got something cool to show you! Let’s go down this alleyway!” Then he takes out his what?!
"It was a fucking year. Did you not think this was going to happen?" Best response ever lol.
Craven Edge and now this Deck of Many Things, why does Grog always find these incredibly dangerous yet powerful things?!
I think it was Percy who found Craven Edge and gave it to Grog.
Percy found Craven Edge and traded it to Grog.
AFTER talking to it.
@@Cowcow211 probably because they all know grog is the only one who would actually use the things.
@Scion of Madness Because HILARIOUS.
When he drew the moonscape and started to feel weird, I thought he was gonna suddenly have Lycanthropy!
That'd be an interesting effect for a modified deck of many things.
@@Xane875 The Deck of Many Fates
When he remembers that Grog was given a false deck.
i was betting on Werewolf or Vampire
that is the devils luck right there
Robert Glanville Check for a set of dots on his ear
At a level 18 one shot, we all had the option of having up to a legendary magical item. Most of the party and I grab relevant items, but the ranger instead goes for a deck of many things. After a handful of draws, we nearly got tpk'd since the cleric drew the wrath of a powerful devil. We also fought the devil without a wizard, since he was trapped because a previous card. The item single-handedly made our session.
sounds like it became the whole session, unless you're all crazy efficient players
I want to see Grog make the ultimate gamble and have a dangerous enemy pull from the deck.
I'm scared to bring the deck into my game lol.
Richard Henderson you can modify it to your liking ☺. I've even seen some people use it as a twice draw per day and has various meager to great daily effects it can grant.
In the game that I play in, not knowing what it was, I drew from the deck of many things. My first card drawn ever was the void. My party had to fight through a Demonic Soul Carnival filled with terrifying demons and monsters everywhere.
Im bringing in a more tame version called the deck of several things lol
Most players won't use it on account of it being mainly negative, frankly.
But, if you use it as a frame to build off of, it can be pretty amazing.
I already did it. They started pulling immediately and were saved when the player who drew the Fates card decided to erase the moment when they picked the deck up
Great headcannon of this being the making of Travis' one shot character in "The Search for Grog"
Sir Bertrand Bell?
Who is here after campaign 3 ep 13?
The moment Matt see the cards and losses it lol
Grog is so going to die from the Deck, there have been no draw backs from it so far, if anything this will have emboldend him so much more to start using it.
There actually has been a draw back. The first one gave him a cursed sword that permanently gave him a -2 to all saves.
I foresee that happening, and more than likely that second wish will get involved to bring Grog back. Either in a jump cut little monologue where Matt is like 'the new lord of the Quad Roads thought back to the man who'd given him these treasures, and wished him good health' or at his funeral the same thing happens.
if they use raw rules the deck won't work for grog anymore, Before you draw a card, you must declare how many cards you intend to draw and then draw them randomly (you can use an altered deck of playing cards to simulate the deck). Any cards drawn in excess of this number have no effect.
nothing says you cut declare multiple times. it only specifies that you can't say three, but stop after one. And if you accidentally pull more than declared nothing happens.
that not what it says it says ANY cards drawn in excess of this number have NO effect. The first card in the second draw is also the X card from the first draw, therefore it has NO effect. it would have to reset the effect at the end of the day for it to work the way you are claiming. It also would be an infinite wish machine because you could wish you drew the moon card instead of the bad card you just drew.
This just became extremely relevant
HE PULLED THE MOON?! Damn, I'd be SO salty if I just gave some random beggar 1-4 FREE WISHES
The fact that this man came back as a Refined Noble in Campaign 3 just blew my mind.
Why hasnt this been animated yet?! Someone animate this!
Here after episode 13 of campaign 3, if you know you know ;)
We know:)
Going back here to the origin story of C3 E13…what a call back this was. Matt playing the long long game
never mind the fact its a goliath luring a drunk human into an alleyway
The Deck of Ruining Campaigns
The Deck of Hilarity
Master of the long con, Matthew Mercer 🥃
And then...we find ourselves revisiting The Lord of the Quadroads....for no reason at all...
Absolutely no reason
Who's here after C3E13?!
"You discovered the cure for cancer, and you gave it away!?"
That's how the gig works.
Four years later. Who knew.
Well, as of February 10th, 2022, we now have this guy's name.
I can't wait for people to start flocking to this video after the latest episode
The fact that this is in my recommendeds after last week's episode.....
This seems like it would make a good beginning for a Twilight Zone
Such a great scene *wink wink*
this was sooooo funny xD. Plus I wounder did the wish just pop a servant in to existence that didn't have a life before and isn't that now an alternate time line of some kind?
kelley davis
Idk exactly but The wording is something about bending the fabric of the universe I believe
He literally bent reality.
Wish spells are powerful yo.
He wished he "was a powerful lord of the crossroads". The keyword "was" is what made it happen.
It wasn't, "Make me a powerful lord of the crossroads". It's "I was". He doesn't know the guys name, but for all intents and purposes he "was" a lord in the past. Probably shaved off a quadrant (averaged from all the lords) who all now think they never had that land.
The spell can create a single magic item worth 25,000 gold, so he probably got a cut of land that was worth 25,000 if sold, today. The land itself may be more "powerful" if wielded correctly, i.e. commanded by government or private rule... but it's ultimately probably worth about that much, minus say, a 500 gold retainer for that guy. He may have a lot of "power" but he might go down a couple of alleys and get shanked, as power is dangerous. He's gonna need that second wish pretty soon. He should've just asked for money.
Wishes are dangerous.
I really hope that this guy in the second campaign has become bored of being a rich lord and wishes himself to become an insanely powerful wizard, becoming the new BBEG.
off by one campaign, but we'll see
When the game master laughs......
Grogg had better luck than my Paladin did with the deck. Literally lost all magic items except for an exploding necklace, gained persuasion as an expertise, a house in another continent, and then became imprisoned by a literal demon prince.
Hello Campaign 3 Gang :D
Well that was as far as I remember the most powerful card in this deck..
mmmpathy Well, D&D wishes are basically the same as Dragonball wishes; if you can think it, they can do it.
If we're talking about the 22 card deck, the Fates is the most powerful card, but in a 13 card deck the Moon (the wish card) is definitely the most powerful.
Preston Drodelon is back, you guys
“I should pull all of these” then immediately starts; a war, half a dozen magic items, wealth as far the eye can see and the end of the world
Years later, this man meets Campaign 3's party at a ball.
I gotta ask, of all the things to write, why write something that completely spoils a cool moment of an episode many people haven't yet seen? You could have worded it a bit more discretely is all I'm saying..
@@oscarhansson4006 Then I feel bad for the people that watched this specific spoiler clip of the 1st campaign coincidentally immediately after the relative episode in the 3rd campaign came out and just so happened to read my comment.
glad I get to see the context for this
I am so excited this guy popped up in the latest episode 🤣
Lmao "Grog Strongjaw, Maker of kings."
I imagine one player being absent for this, getting brought up to speed in the next session, going "Wait, you gave away wishes? Did you multi-class into _Genie_ or something when I was gone, _why are you giving away wishes?!?"_
"Can I have one? Or heck, a dozen?"
I wounder what this guys up to now probably going to boring balls or something.
Bertrand Bell!
Well this aged amazingly well!
This is beautiful
I like how Matt just throws in a random burp while Grog's talking.
Had to come back and watch this again after the most recent episode ;)
"It was a fucking YEAR, did you really think that this wasn't gonna happen?"
This is amazing
We back here..want a mind blowing reveal..
My favorite headcanon is that the drunk dude is Bertrand Bell.
I love it how The Deck of Many Things is the embodiment of gambling
I just love Grog, this is so amazing
I still got one more of these.. lol this is why I want to play this game and learning. Crazy things happen
playing oblivion music. perfect
HAHAHA! He gave away a d3 worth of wish spell!

@@slitor d3

Its 1d3 + 1
Awesome !
I know a lot of DM's are afraid of putting the Deck of Many Things into their campaign because of it being too powerful... but a simple solution to that is to replace some of the more powerful cards with weaker versions if your characters are low level. For instance, perhaps instead of 1d3 wishes the player is given 1d3 days of Enlightened Skills (Advantage on all Rolls), and maybe instead of the pesky Void Spell that puts your soul into an object and lets a powerful entity guard it the card instead automatically put the player into a contract with the powerful entity. If the character is perhaps weak-willed then they may be swayed by the entity and do evil acts in the hope of power(essentially giving them the choice to switch to Warlock)). Though if the player refuses they'll simply keep ignoring the entity until they are hit with a Greater Restoration Spell (Which the party would likely have to find someone who could do such if they're low level). These are just a couple ideas on the more powerful effects in the deck. Really it's up to the DM, but never underestimate how much fun the item can be. Good luck out there!
True! But wouldn't that ruin all the fun of the chaos that such a feared item could bring? It should be feared! It is the most potent and chaotic item in the world. :)
The deck of many things is a plot hook in item form😂
Ashley's reaction is just... it's everything to me.
I can't believe Matt found a way to get that random npc in a new campaign, FIVE years after Vox Machina..
''Is this some sort of a magic trick?''
''... *Yes.* ''
4 years later, here we are again
Unnamed stranger: "I've still got one more of these."
Travis: o_o *I have made a terrible mistake*
HE DID
By including that "...there's an alley off to the side..." the DM becomes an accomplice 🤣
the oblivion music makes me so nostalgic.
The domino effect of this man then living on to attend a gala in Jrusar and flirt with Fearne while she and the Bell’s Hells are in the middle of a sting operation lol.
Having mat roleplay a drunk guy is really refreshing but the feeling that mat had is wonderful
That is the best ever!
Travis had wonderful DoMT pulls, well.. up to this point
The reactions from everyone are fantastic, but I really appreciate the moment at 4:54, just before Matt reveals what the card did. Everyone at the table is absolutely enthralled. It speaks to what a fantastic storyteller Matt is that he has all 7 of them hanging on his words, just waiting to see what happens to this random throwaway NPC.
For those 10 seconds before he says, "... I wish..." they were in another world.
Is it just me or does that NPC sound like Pumat Sol?!
god I cant wait for this to be animated
That was great!🤣🤣
Shout out to everyone here after the latest #campaign3 episode 💪😂👍
and that man went on to become Sir Bertrand Bell
Travis's face when he learns there were two wishes is perfect!
"...but the power of the deck could not be undone...."
