- Once? unlucky . Twice? coincidence. Three times? ....I guess it's a Fjord thing.
Clips from:
Critical Role Campaign 2 -
Episode 50
Episode 60
Episode 117
Honorable mention to the time they polymorphed the Dragon Turtle into a regular turtle, only to realise the regular turtle was faster.
and then a sea pickle or whatever the slug thing was xD
I was laughing so hard at that. Because boats move what like 4mph? and sea turtles can swim 22 mph so it was probably just swimming laps around the boat xD
Didn't Fjord also have his damaging armor spell activated during the first clip? Cause there was one clip I specifically remember them going "oh shit" over because of his armor attacking the polymorph
@@TieflingKumasi It didnt kill it I guess.
@@TieflingKumasi that was the second clip. Ford couldn’t run in fear of Armor of Agathis turning it back
The best part about the giant turtle is they were still terrified of it
I know about snapping turtles. They should be terrified.
No, the best part is that fjord now has a lasting phobia of turtles
One thing to remember about giant tortoises is that while they are slow, if they bite you it's probably going to take some of you with it. That shit fucking hurts.
The thing is, Liam was thinking of a Galapagos Tortoise, but the Monster Manual actually has an entry for a snapping turtle the size of a VW Beetle. That's what Matt was using.
@@elbruces That's almost twice the size of a normal alligator snapping turtle, my God.
I love how Travis was all for the Dybbuk/Giant being polymorphed into a tortoise until he got attacked
Nah, as soon as he heard giant snapping turtle...
Which episode was that?
I love how most of the problem with the tortoise comes from Travis refusing to use disengage
@@LukeLosiPfleger The turtle could've had Sentinel, who knows
@@LukeLosiPfleger It was because of Armour of Agathys so if it hit, it would take 25 cold damage and turn back into a Giant which would not be fun.
"Wait... You have Starrazor up, don't you?"
The moment of realization is just PERFECT.
it's even more hilarious that he actually let it play out for a moment only to drop the bombshell at the end that it didn't matter what Fjord did the worm was coming out.
it’s hilarious cause fjord is like the only one who deals damage when attacked
Why does the fact he does dmg matter when attacked ? Does it break polymorph or something ?
@@oscarlangdon3233 yeah, a bunny only has like 1 hit point, and as soon as the animal you polymorphed into hits 0 hp, they revert
@@oscarlangdon3233 Depending on what creature something is turned into, they all have different amounts of hit points. when those hit points reach zero, they return to their previous form, and any extra damage from the attack that made them hit zero is carried over to their actual hit point pool. So if you damage a polymorphed creature too much, they revert back and get all of their scary abilities and statistics back.
If it were me, I'd probably just pick something like a Giant Slug that would be very slow and pretty easy to just avoid....and/or just try to move/teleport it into a nearby hazard, like an acid or lava pool. :P
jester and cad also have a spell that they put around themselves often that'll attack anything that enters, so not totally the only one
HE BOUGHT A BAG OF TURTLES!!! 😂😂
Of _course_ he did.
he has a miniature addiction, he doesn't need an excuse to buy them, it's just convenient that they give him excuses to buy them.
I mean to be fair they turn things into turtles very often.
I do miss when all polymorphed animals were horses, though.
I love watching Fjord/Travis's PTSD (Post/Polymorphed Turtle Stress Disorder)
Thays buitiful
The Nein Banes.
Jester: Sending messages.
Caleb: Burning flesh.
Beau: Talking.
Nott: Checking for traps.
Caduceus: Getting killed.
Yasha: Mind control.
Fjord: Turtles.
Shouldn't Cad's bane be the island of Rumblecusp :)
@@chrism7395 I was also thinking about when he got killed by Nott twice, both times with an explosive crossbow bolt. And when he got eaten by that ice bug thing.
That's only 7 banes
@@christophercrafte it’s nein not nine though
Fjord: (also) flirting with women.
Matt just needs to have a petting zoo on standby at this point.
He does, but he still needs more
even the petting zoo wont predict that at some point caleb will turn himself into a mole at one point
@@sheevpalpatine1105 Caleb is already a mole, planted by the Cerberus Assembly
You take that back, you take that back now! No! Nyet! Nein!
"It's a regular fucking turtle." So indignant. That is genuinely one of my favorite Liam moments.
I love his angrily indignant description of Caleb searching his bag for the component again.
I mean, he's not wrong, turtles don't even have a stat block, they're not capable of hurting someone
@@override367 Until the DM says otherwise.
To be fair, Matt did totally screw him there, but it made for one of the funniest moments in campaign 2 so I can't be mad about it lmao
I am the 700th like, so sorry to break the very nice amount of likes :(
I like how excited Travis looks when the big ol' worm is about to get Polymorphed, only for it to go so terribly for him.
Same with the turtle.
You missed the Roc turning into a bat and Matt rolling attacks while they talked
the pettiness and determination of that rocbat inspire me to this day
"I cast command, and command the bat to go away!
- The bat goes away... One turn later, it returns"
what episode was that
@@lucasnicht3347 I genuinely don't remember. But I believe they had just left Rosanna, going north after Oban and the mind-controlled yasha
@@lucasnicht3347 C2 Ep66 The first part of the episode
The best part of D&D is that a good DM can make grown-ass adults feel afraid of make-believe animals. I'm not even ashamed to say that I live for those moments.
I think it's so good because they LET themselves be scared. Especially Travis. He doesn't have to be big strong guy who Must Protect Family, he can be Fjord who is afraid of turtles
if I had a quarter for every time they had to polymorph the same monster twice because the first polymorph was still dangerous I'd have 75 cents which isn't much but it's weird it's happened three times
Give them time with season 3 and they will again XD
Liam “A giant *tortoise.* “
Matt “It’s the *turtle’s* turn.”
All tortoise are turtles, but not all turtles are tortoise.
@@High-LordHarza please share more of your great knowledge, oh Wise One
@@sagescribe_ Dunno if you're being a dick or something, but I did say what I did because Matt is right to say "the turtle's turn"
There wasn't stats for a tortoise so he used the closest thing in the book. It happened to be a giant snapping turtle. And Liam said ok.
@@High-LordHarza that's only true in American English. In English, tortoises are the land dwelling kind and turtles are the swimming kind. It's a clear distinction.
Fjord rolling a Nat 20 on the worm turtle was just fate laughing
One of my favorite parts about Fjord being attacked by Polymorphed animals is that he has so many things that if something damages him, it'll automatically damage it back. Just amazing.
"That's hilarious. Alright, that-"
Cogs begin turning in Matt's head.
"Wait."
other dms: "no, you can't polymorph my boss into a tortoise"
matt: "and.. is now covered" proceeds to cover the miniature of a polymorphed tortoise with a blanket
Matt knows that they’re stupid enough that they’ll do to still keep the fight hard, it’s why he doesn’t have to compensate by making things immune to polymorph.
Now stunning strike on the other hand…
7:44 Travis is very “they ask you how you are, and you just have to say that you're fine, when you're not really fine, but you just can't get into it because they would never understand”
Matt, with pain in his heart: I BOUGHT A BAD OF TURTLES
Why is it Fjord is always putting himself into these things
What's funniest to me is that he doesn't...he just appears to be a magnet for polymorphed creatures (Also, where's the polymorphed Roc?)
Don’t victim-blame the poor sailor boy.
Literally anyone: casts polymorph.
Fjord: I think we all know where this is going.
6:16 Caleb saying “Scheiße! Fick dich!” is absolutely amazing- As a German, him saying these things just makes me happy
What does that translate to?
@@cricket98741 It literally translate into "Shit! Fuck you!"
"shit, f-you"
@@cricket98741It translates as: "Shit! Fuck you!"
@@cricket98741 it means "Shit! Fuck you!"
Matt: What is your favorite spell?
Caleb: POLYMMORPH!
Jester: Polymorph is pretty great...
Fjord: ...*anything* but polymorph.
Should had included when the small turtle started headbutting Fjord's boot. Never lose focus lol
I love how Matt's like "I bought turtles damnit"...
The consistency of him having something that hits polymorphed creature back on himself is just ridiculous XD
Wild Mother's Stone family everyone. Keepers of the beasts
He’s learning, he’s not there YET but he’s learning
7:38 Trambooze was so happy to have his nat 20 and thought Matt was staring because he thought he cheated. Littel did he know, it was disbelief that he is AGAIN attacked by the transformed creature!
..."well I don't have a _____. So I'll use this horse!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Reads like a Cards Against Humanity card lol
@@bstuu2138 bruh! 🤯🤯 ur a genius! Making a "Cards Against Humanity: Crit Role Edition" is such a Big Brain x 9,000 idea! 💯🔥😎😁😱🤯
Hint: Dearest peeps at Crit Role R&D labs. Please make this a thing!
I would buy not only one for myself, but several for all my friends!
Please, please, please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🙏😱💯
It’s situations like this that ‘inspired’ my DM to institute the house rule ‘you can only polymorph/wild shape into things you’ve brought the mini for yourself.’
@@Lngbrdninjamasta Godzilla had a stroke trying to read this and f*cking died
6:14 holy cow, didn't expect some strong German language
“I’ve been waiting for someone to do a giant tortoise” *later*: “**GAAAH**”
To this day, i wonder....
how this man became a Paladin of the Wildmother!?!!?!
I mean, the man tried to intimidate a forest after becoming a paladin, guess his job bio is more about putting the most unruly parts of nature into order x)
He's a little confused but he's got the spirit
Oh man you beat me to it. Thank you for making this one so I don’t have to :D
You forgot when they turned the Roc into a bat and it kept flying into Fjord's face.
I like how almost every polymorph MN did on an enemy backfired spectacularly.
Does the sea turtle technically count? It couldn't attack Fjord because it was in the water, but it still was faster than and tried to attack their ship, which Fjord was captaining.
And this most recent time, I think, is technically the first time turning something into a turtle has worked, and they still kind of had to struggle with it.
M9 needs to go on a safari to find some kid friendly sea life 😄 Urchins, stars, clams, snails, slugs..
You mean the Dragon Turtle? Technically they're Dragon type, not Beast type so it's more accurate to think of it as a dragon than a turtle. IIRC they did polymorph it into a regular turtle to outpace and escape it but it didn't attack anyone in that form. I might be remembering that encounter wrong though. It's been a while.
@@Cyb3rM1nd Yeah they turned it into a sea turtle and then discovered that the sea turtle was faster than their ship when it kept trying to attack them. They ended up eventually turning it into a sea slug to get away from it. Polymorph never seems to work the way they intend it to on the first try.
@@spectralumbra1568 Ahh, I had forgotten that, thank you.
Nobody can keep a joke going like the cast of Critical Role.
Or TFS
@@WiseSageBum ...And now I kinda want Lanipator or Takahata101 to be a guest player.
You guys literally made a Monty Python reference which is just hilarious.
Michael Reeves would love this high impact turtle violence
To Hit?? THAT'S MY AC!!!
My favorite part of this video lol
I personally really like the first part how they displayed their health above their banners. It helped us know the severity of the situation, although I guess not knowing the health adds to the tension. I hope to see it return some day.
It was a feature when Legendary had them on Alpha. Which was a parent company that owned Geek and Sundry.
That company, and the chinese Corp that owned it, really didn't understand the audience and ruined a number of things under their management.
That being said it was a fun little feature. I tend to like that kind of transparency and accessibility in Actual Plays.
Though with the kerfuffle and the amount of time they've done with out it I don't see CR bringing it back.
At least not without a lot of fan input demanding it.
Matt: "I bought an entire pack of turtles so..."
This makes me sad that the dragon turtle did not actively try to gobble down Fjord specifically lmao
Beautiful. Thank you for doing this.
My favourite is when they all get stunned except for Jester and Laura figures out like one of three options out of thousands or millions that could possibly save fucking everyone AND THEN not one of them, but an inanimate object fucks it up, Travis rolling the nat 20 and becoming the target, it's just perfect. THIS is how you know it's not scripted. Show me a person who could come up with this shit.
Bonus points for Travis realizing what happened. Perfect expression.
Honorable mention (totally unrelated) of Laura's sweatshirt in the time of quarantine.
And THIS is why we play! The opportunity to laugh with good friends! The fact that they're doing it in front of a million people makes it funnier!
I just loved that moment of "oh not again"
If I had a nickle for every time Fjord accidentally did damage to a polymorphed enemy because it hit him and he had an automatic retaliation he couldn't control, and either turned it back or threatened to turn it back, I'd have two nickles. It's not a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Anyone else finding it _different_ with them touching each other so freely...... damn 2020
It's like talking to a genie, better be specific XD
The gang needs to learn about wild ducks. They only way they can do damage is by critting.
Something tells me their crits are absurdly expansive, but maybe it’s wishful thinking.
@@alecLogan Duck crits?
@@piogal34 Yes
Untitled Duck Crit
Octopus. They have basically no land speed and can hold their breath out of water for 30 minutes. In an Armor of Agathys situation, simply stay in its threatened area until someone else can scoop it up and carry it to a far corner of the map. (If you're feeling crafty and have an alchemy jug or decanter of endless water as well as a DM who finds this sort of thing funny, you could try rigging up a makeshift tank to make sure it doesn't go off until the spell naturally ends.)
Polymorph: because DM's don't suffer enough already without their epic terrifying encounters immediately turning into some Benny Hill shit.
Creature: *Is polymorphed* Well...time to commit violence against a warlock.
Laura not realizing female cows have horns is HILARIOUS
Jester: I wanna turn it into a snow bunny.
Mercer: Very well it turns into a lagombi from Monster hunter. >:D
Laura rolling a "Four" (Fjord) was just so appropriate. lol
thank you Speckogirl
I love how he’s so happy about the giant tortoise... and thennnnnnnnn hilarity ensues
I love Matt “well I bought a pack of turtles...”
I love how this reoccurs enough for a compilation lmao
I hope this trend continues to repeat itself
every video of this group has me smiling through the whole thing, i appreciate them very much.. you dont find a group like this very often.
10:38 true DM moment right here.
Fun fact, an average dnd fighter class can lift up a cow and throw it to the pit
*spellcasters crying in the corner* I c..cast... polymorph to... to turn t-this cow into something even I can throw with my strength of 8, because it's my f-king dump stat.
This are some weird 6 seconds, Yasha went woooosh and the work went wfuuum, and then back jajajaja
Travis had flashbacks during C3E49
"No! Noooo! No!" More gold from Travis.
Matt didnt have a cow mini??? How DAIRY he?!
I really hope they animate all this
Should have included the polymorphed dragon turtle still chasing the ship as a bonus
Just to address something Laura said about the cow. Female cows actually do have horns. They are dehorned as calves however, to prevent injuries to their handlers. Some bulls get to keep their horns to protect their herd from wildlife.
As for the rest of the video, this is hilarious.
the sad thing is that he's so excited every time they cast polymorph, but then...
"harmless" jajaja poor travis!!!
Was expecting them to polymorph one of the tombtakers into a turtle and the turtle spends three whole turns moving over to Fjord just to attack him
No-one can convince me that, by the time of the Snow Bunny, there was no way Mercer wasn't gonna have it attack Fjord. Whatever he rolled was gonna be the number.
The "get it off, get away" made me laugh so hard man
I just realized something really funny when thay said" what dose the cow say! " it went perfectly with them counting how far it moooves
Whenever I'm sad I watch this video and it makes me soo happy
It would of been great if the video started with "No turtles were harmed in a making of this video."
We’re all going to laugh at Fjord again but this time animated
His look of defeat when the snow bunny attacks him lol
I swear Fjord is gonna have a fear from small creatures cause of how many polymorph creatures have attacked him
"A seal!"
>.>
"Well I bought a package of turtles.."
>.>______
You can tell Matt was a bit put off after the number of things they turned into turtles, so he bought turtles for this and THIS TIME they want a seal... lol.
The SHEER amount of times they polymorph something to run away is hilarious.
Quick fun fact: Cows (female cattle) can have horns and some bulls have no horns. Laura is thinking about deer.
I feel like fjord always gets rocked in fights and is really unlucky in that sense, but Travis plays it off so well
This reminds me of the time I was playing a barbarian fighting a BBEG wizard - I got up in his face and started attacking him in melee, so he Polymorphed me into an octopus. But he couldn’t get away that round due to the efforts of the rest of the party, so next turn I just latched onto his face with my octopus stat block until the spell was broken
It’s always been a turtle and I can never unsee Fjord’s fear of turtles on the high seas
The easiest way to defeat Fjord would be to lock him in a pet store. Those damn gerbils man.
Old video, but surprised that Fjord didn't use dodge action while pinned agianst the wall by turtle.
The way Liam just goes, "It's a regular fucking turtle!" Makes me laugh.
we all know what Matt is getting for christmas : a whol f*cking lot of pet minis xD
Fjord experiencing a slow death, one polymorph at a time.
"20 points of cow damage" that will live in infamy in my brain now 😂😊😂
When they make the cartoon on Amazon prime I want to see fjord walk pass a petting zoo either getting randomly swarmed or evil death flares from the critters
Fjord is the anti dr. Dolittle.
"It misses...IT MISSES!" Lmao
It was out of combat but when the Roc was turned into a bat wasnt it also attacking Fjord?
