Liam: What is this creature?
Matt: They're buffalo-like creatures
Sam: What do they look like?
Matt: They look like buffalo
Marisha: Can I see what these creatures move like
Matt: They move like buffalo
Travis: but what are these creatures??
Matt: They're Buffalo
...
Sam: I guess we'll never know what those creatures were
You know what? It’s too late, the Buffalo awakens and swallows you whole
They’re lizards
Fucking lizards
Ave.D shenanigans weird kink but ok
My guess is they were aurochs
Caleb is such a good wizard he taught nott a spell that he doesn't even know himself.
5e cantrips make no sense
@@bignumbers 5e makes no sense in general. Absolute trash compared to 3.5
@@MV-ri7zu I get it, 3.5 is probably overall better from a mechanics standpoint. The beauty of 5e is that it's easily taught which makes it accessible to the masses. The mechanics are so simple. I used to run a game store and 5e made the game accessible not only to the majority of people that entered the store but to kids as well. We ran Sunday Kids DnD and Wednesday DnD which hit really good numbers and I doubt 3.5 would of been able to do that.
@@NameIsArchie 3.5 elitists are super annoying tbh. Like we get it, but also if it weren’t for 5e, dnd would be dead
@@nicholas6836 yup. It was dead 💀
Matt-The entire town is, decimated. Buildings have been burned, the inn is literally a candle, lives have been lost and dreams destroyed.

Nein!

Jesters complete inability to comprehend the fact that Caleb can't hear her while looking through Frumpkins senses... Pure gold.
Oh she knows. She just doesn’t give a shit. Gives like, such little kid energy. “Caleb! Caleb! Caleb! Caaaaleb! Caleb!”
Oh she knows. And I think she does it because she is a very good troll. I mean alone the rearanging of prices in a shop. I laught my ass off so hard. She is an agent of chaos. XD
She is an excellent player. So is Caleb. He very rarely goes ooc.
They BETTER include that scene in the show lol it’s perfect and I need it
She is a cleric of a Trickster god, so she is doing her religious duty/worship by trolling people.
I love that Taliesin wore a D.A.R.E. shirt after the previous episode where they went to Natural Remedies and purchased several “experiences” worth of “substances”.
he def did it ironically lmfao
I was literally about to comment the same thing!
@@isaacmiller3386 D.A.R.E. doesn't help anyone - lmao
@@mitchellwilliam95 And? It’s still the fact that he’s wearing a drug education shirt the episode after they pretty much had a drug deal. Doesn’t matter if the system doesn’t work.
I hadn't even clocked that, that's fuckin hilarious.
Every time someone says nine Caleb becomes more German
as a german, i gotta say, he really does nail the accent.
as not a german, i can't fucking stand it. idk, they are incredible VAs, and i love every single voice they do, but Liam's accent this season is just driving me up the wall. i don't know why. it's honestly to the point where i'm considering dropping the show.
Im german and nobeing bothered by it, i think it sounds fine, heard better, heard worse
What irritates me is that alot of places have german names thatarent pronounced how i would do it but its a fantasy world, so its fine, i mean how many games screw with english if theyre placed in 'ye olde timeth'....
Edit: disclaimer i wrote this before watching this episode, was talking about the ones before
he's getting too strong
"how many games screw with english if theyre placed in 'ye olde timeth'...." Probably at least....
Nine. :D

On this episode of “Matt Mercer is a voice acting god”: terrifying mad hyena laughter.
as a DM planning to have my PCs meet a few gnolls soon, i found myself enjoying this a lot and trying to mimmick these sounds while watching. i've arrived at 2 conclusions:
1) i'll never be as good as Mercer so my gnolls will just do basic barks lol
2) i shouldn't watch CR at 2am when other people are sleeping
As someone who has had a legacy PC Gnoll since 3.5, the lack of "legal" PC Gnoll options in 5e still irks me.
@@HobGungan so you're saying that by playing a Regular Gnoll, you are in fact Breaking the Law...
@@mayapplesauce1396 (which is funny because my mom told me she went to a Judas Priest concert when she was pregnant with me)
@@HobGungan hell yeah -seeen Priest Live 3 times!
Words can't describe how much I love that Sam took the Arcane Trickster subclass. It's mechanically a great subclass for a kleptomaniac; character-wise it's the ideal subclass for a con artist who's becoming fast friends with an inveterate prankster; and they can only learn wizard spells, so it's also the perfect subclass for someone whose best friend is a wizard! It's beautiful, I love it so freaking much.
Jester: “8 plus 1 is, niiine!”
*rolls for spiritual weapon*
Jester: “6 plus 3? NINE!!”
Everyone: NIIIINE!!
she rolled a 9 on her hellish rebuke too. She rolled 3 nines in a row xD
I love how I can hear them without even seeing the episode XD
NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN!!!!

So iconic
Am I the only one stunned by Matt's ability to just open a book and find whatever in 2 seconds max?
Practice is a thing. I have a couple of books I've read enough times to do that with. Says a lot about his dedication.
My mom can do it. She had a lot of Bible study growing up
When he opened the book while looking for the monk ability to deflect arrows, and he literally opened it on the correct page right away I was very impressed haha
@@LuminarySol Well, if you pay close attention to the book, he has page labels affixed throughout.
Matt's an outstanding DM, but that skills pretty standard for bookish types and DMs.
Molly: I'm not going to swallow a curved sword.
Fjord: Challenge accepted.

everyone had me believing Caleb was this broody quiet wizard but I swear he's just a dork (with a sad backstory if i heard correctly) with a love for reading and knowledge and i had to pause the video cause my heart swelled when Caleb picked Nott up on his shoulder after she cast that spell and was just bursting with joy and proud of her.
Dude same
i would die for nott and caleb 100%
same i got spoiled many things of C2 before this first watch i'm doing now, but i knew NOTHING of Caleb & Nott's relationship and the wholesomeness of it is one of my favorite thing at this point ! they're so precious i love them so much!
@@mayapplesauce1396 same! I'd had which couples end up together and a few other details spoiled for me but I was not prepared for the adorableness of Big Bro Caleb and Lil Sis Nott. 🥺
I just see him as a bum that can cast some spells he read out of some books he happened to pick up, personally.

You know, in german, unicorns are called "Einhorn" and squirrels are called "Eichhörnchen"; when my sister was a little child, she was afraid of the prospects of squirrels, as she apparently misunderstood what they were. She thought of "Einhörnchen"; in her mind, there were little unicorns running around in forests. This episode reminded me of that. :D
God I love German
Oooook, das is unglaublich pure 😍😍😍
Süß
i love this, the fact that squirrels are, literally, "little unicorns"
@Cheerio well almost. "Eich" in "Eichhörnchen" means "Oak", so a bit different
I like how calebs accent is progressively getting more german
Valkyah red Nice Bnh Pic! (i know this is 7months late)
Now if I could track down who's German it is... (Country/city-wise)
I was thinking more of a Argentine Doctor vibe
Maybe a German doctor who ran to Argentina...😅
At first you could tell he was struggling transitioning from British to German cause he spent so much time as Vax but now he is getting comfortable speaking with a German accent for Caleb
Fjord gets a literal wet dream
Nuuu xD
YEEEEESSSSSSS
Ugh, and he was also smelling of seamen...😕
Which, I gotta say, seemed a lot more Old One than Hexblade
that's some japanese tentacle endrich thing right there
What a wholesome episode. Traveling, climbing trees, chatting about unicorns, eating donuts, contemplating committing highway robbery. You know. Normal things.
and mail fraud
@@ChristieLily35 Technically the mail fraud thing happened in the previous episode, technically
@@jerau2990 that is true so I suppose it's excusable
Destroying gnolls as the village burns around you and almost dying 🥰
Beauregard dodges two arrows, catches the third and chucks it into the chest of the gnoll in front of her, then proceeds to kick away its spear attack and dodge another attack after that. Monks are underrated.
That's all thematic from Matt. She only did one monk thing in all of that. Even what they were calling Patient Defense was just her taking her action to Dodge (Patient Defense let's you do this for 1 ki as a bonus action, but she did it as hee action). Only the Deflect Missles was monk.
@@Rowlurorowf I agree that it wouldn't be nearly as cool without Matt's DM mastery, but there's also the monk ability to catch an arrow and throw it back, and use ki points to do so much in one round.
@@spillitnow yeah, that's all I'm saying is that the Deflect Missiles was the only thing she spent the ki points on. Dont get me wrong, I agree monks can do some cool shit. Though I do hate that they have to also spend a bonus action on everything that also takes then ki to do... feels a little underpowered in comparison to other classes who just get their abilities without having to pay for them in any way
@@Rowlurorowf But that is what makes dnd awesome. If everyone just calls out their attack and no narrative is added to it, it gets boring really fast. I try to get my players to add som flavour to their attack descriptions, it really brightens up a gaming session.
@@martinjrgensen8234 no arguments there. Makes it a totally different game. I've sat at both types of tables, so totally in argeement.
I loved the slight fear in Matt's eyes at the idea that they might just rob and kill the entire caravan with families.
The true DM life lol
As a fellow dm, that’s not so much fear as much as mentally checking through what the stats of the caravan are
^That
^That 2.0
Or possibly makes you wonder, what the caravan would have done back to them. 6 carts filled with people... That's a lot. And like Beau had said, who knows what weapons or training they have. I feel like he could've been thinking "This won't go well for you guys." as in the fear was for them, lol

I think it's so cute how everyone looks to Fjord as like the leader of their little group. "We have to do this, right, Fjord?!" "Fjord, where should we put this?" It's so fucking adorable and I love how naturally it happened in the groups dynamic.
Kinda weird too tho, considering how leaderless the last campaign was, I mean maybe the twins could be considered the leaders but a case could be made for Percy as leader as well 🤔
@@edenromanov nope, definitely Scanlan was the leader
@@PlantOutofPot I'd definitely say either Percy or Scanlan. It kind of naturally switched, depending on the situation.

Him biting his lip during his scene was unjust.
Just because someone is large or likes to work out, doesn't mean they lack personality or enthusiasm. A silly stereotype forced on those of us considered "Manly" by others.
@@padenbang7375 Well. I just want to say that it was your choice to be offended by my comment.

Molly over here struggling against a single guy who he found lying on the ground after falling from a roof. Meanwhile Marishas character is holding off half the forces on her own.
Giving everyone disadvantage against you without giving up your attack action is very major, specially when they are gonna start wailing on you. I would even waste my normal action to do so! Sometime defensive is the best option.

Everyone’s talking about how amazing Caleb and Jester’s relationship is, but everyone ever notices Nott and Jester!

Nott: Why did you give me this flower
Jester: because we’re friends!
ITS SO CUTE!
I FRIGGING LOVE NOTT!!!!!!💖💖💖💖💖
I love Nott and Jester together. They are my favourite duo
Yesss!!!!
Especially after the end of last episode where Nott gives flowers to Yasha and Jester asks where her flowers are. Nott says she didn't get Jester any flowers because she's not a threat. It shows how differently they see the world. Nott sees people as threats or not, Jester sees them as friends or not.
When Nott finally lifted the ring off her while she slept. Legend. Love these two.
I love how Travis looks like a little kid when Matt gives his character his dream scene.
Now that is a man who knows how to enjoy D&D :)
Same when Matt did the gnoll sounds or Frumpkin, pure joy (:
That kind of thing is my favorite part, i would react exactly the same
@LtLampshade Or when the arrows fired at the crownsguard Tal, Marisha, and Laura all kind of ducked.
Ikr, while Nott is my favorite character, Travis is my favorite player because he's so into it and enthusiastic
Did you see his face, when he learned during the game that Darin da Paul had played D&D with Matt's mother before Matt was born? If not, go back and watch it.
Travis is a jock, but an emphatic and kind jock.
"Do you think you're slowly turning into water?"
*long pause and a sigh* "Nope... I hadn't considered that terrifying thought... but thanks, um I'll just add that to the fuckin' list."
"If you feel like it's happening, let us know and we'll try to catch you in a jar."
"In a jar?"

Are we gonna ignore the fact Beau dodged like 7 consecutive attacks against her while hitting a gnoll WITH A FRICKING ARROW SHE COUGHT MID AIR

@@traartadventures It's a balmy day today. Supposed to get up to -18.
I love how, after channeling her badass energy for years as Vex, Laura chose to make Jester 100% "mischevous little shit" energy
Still one of my favorite moments was in first episode when Jester scammed Knot in gambling and Fjord said she should give the money back, her response of "But why though....."
It's pretty scary to be honest. Like dangling the frog-demon's head in front of the little girl that tried to save his life just moments before.
I'd say it's closer to "oblivious evil" energy.

It’s hilarious that Fjord is a southern boy but has a British accent when talking to his patron.
👀
The foreshadowing in this and the fact I missed it the first time is hilarious 😅
I love that Liam calls Matt “DM”, it’s all business here
they all tend to do that when they want to make it quick and clear that they're asking for some kind of ruling or decision from the DM and not just chatting or making a joke to matt or interacting with one of his npc's. matt also does the same by making sure to call each pc by their character name to give the indication that they need to make a in game decision
He called him Matthew once, and I honestly thought it was adorable,
@@Clownbunnycosplay and a couple times someone asked Matt a DM question but they didnt address him as DM so he replied in Char. So funny
Whenever I talk to our DM about something in our game I always call him Mr DM
Now, imagine DM wouldn't stand for "Dungeon Master" but for "Dear(est) Matthew".
Matt's soft "That's cool" after Travis details casting Armor of Agathys is not appreciated enough.
Agree It is a much underrated spell for hexblades. Also it should have done full damage on both hits, totaling 20 cold damage.
Too bad fjord didnt inflict the 3dmg more he shoulve on that last hit
Matt definitely loves doing an elaborate description for every action, but he really loves it when his players go for one. He tries to stay cool while DM'ing, but underneath he is basically a super invested fan boy of their characters. I noticed it in season 1 when Ashley's character got saved, literally one turn from an instakill death by brain-suck. His threatening DM vibe slipped off to reveal a pure "OH MY GOD GUYS I WAS SO SCARED!" vibe.
@@martinbowyer7906 I wouldn't really say it's underrated, especially at higher levels because of how good it is. An enemy takes 25 damage just on one hit if you cast it at level 5

Still very impressed that Sam was able to hide Laura’s pregnant belly as well as he did. Bonus; they didn’t even know if it worked until after the stream
I feel like everyone missed a "Wet Dream" joke with Fjord.
😂 AAAA yes
THank goodness they did, or they'd have lost Laura to the giggles for the rest of the session.
Don't worry, I think they make that joke in a later episode
AHAHAHAHA genius x)
After a fashion though they went back to the seamen joke so YMMV.
last campaign: Are glorious heroes that exemplify some of the noblest traits in humanity.
this campaign: Thieving murder babies that can't seem to make a morally correct decision if it whacked them in the face.
They are still working out their whole schtick. They'll become noble heroes in time (I hope). Besides the group consists of a disguised goblin theif, a rogue monk, a pampered teifling cleric, a shady wizard, a waterlogged warlock, a loner Aasimar and a eccentric tiefling swordsman.
Dude did you watch Campaign 1?
VM, tho I love them dearly, did all sort of morally ambiguous sometimes veering towards completely fucked decisions lol
imo best way to describe both groups is a rag tag band of misfits/assholes who do good when they can and stir up trouble for typically personal motivations

There are 2 things that are consistent with Taliesin’s characters, their sarcastic humor and family trauma 🥲
There's no way Jester isn't basically just Laura acting like true self.
Everyone in battle is just vibing for the most part and Caleb is just a ball of anxiety constantly on the verge of a panic attack
Just Wizard Things
He's like a bunch of cats inside a trenchcoat

Caleb is so proud of his daughter knowing message
It's kinda funny, the varying relationships that Nott and Caleb simultaneously have. Nott considering herself to be a sort of mother to Caleb, Caleb teaching Nott like a student, taking care of her like a daughter, and them both getting into shenanigans like siblings.
Honestly, it's just really entertaining to watch the interplay.
@@NopeJustPatrick Very well stated!
@@NopeJustPatrick YES!!!!
Dadleb and nottmom
For some weird reason, When I read this I remembered the bit from episode 4 when Nott was trying to sound german.
**SLIGHT C1 SPOILERS**
It's so refreshing, after all the "End-of-the-World Drama" of C1 with the Chroma Conclave and Vecna, to see a simple, classic "Oh no, these **insert enemies** have attacked and robbed our village! Please help us, brave adventurers!" :D
100% that’s why campaign 2 is great. I wish camping 3 started like this at low level as well.
First four episodes: We are all on the verge of bankruptcy, I would murder my own child for 2 silver pieces
This episode: Haha Gnoll ear go brrr
Average party when facing a low-tier monster: meh, let's avoid it.
Average party when a more difficult monster with a gold reward: RIP AND TEAR!!!!
@@bonniefazman9065well they are broke and why not have a bit of a challenge while they are at it
@@trickyismad Oh I'm all for it and support it, but it still can get pretty freaky. XD
@@bonniefazman9065 true
I honestly think that was pretty excessive on Matt's part. It's a really small town, he said, and even under better circumstances it's very unlikely they'd have the coffers to doll out a whopping 30 gold per ear, certainly not without stipulating that two ears can't come from the same gnoll (which feels so much like a video-game exploit). Matt just wanted to give them a big boost to prevent monetary bottlenecking from slowing down progress for the stream. Which is fine, that's his prerogative, it's just very noticeable that he dropped an absolutely massive 360 gold payday with a promise of much more in a way that breaches verisimilitude, immediately after the group left the starting city.
Caleb being proud of Nott casting a cantrip is 💕 he’s a proud pap
I wish my dad was like that lmao
Freaking adorable.
It wasn’t a cantrip it was Hideous Laughter. Did Nott do other casting this episode?
@@if-not-now Sending.
@@dannyhubber3373 Message not sending, sending is level 3.
Travis’ expression of delighted amazement as Matt described the dream was adorable! We are all in awe of Matthew Mercer’s brilliant descriptions! :)
Emily For real. The circus scene is what made me fall in love with this.
Watching this after seen a lot of edits of Sam helping Laura hide her pregnancy it's really funny.
Also the face Travis does when Matt is goingo to talk with him alone is so precious, he's so excited lol
Holy crap this is the episode! Okay so at about 48:00 when Matt asks everyone except Travis to get up, Sam is actually covering Laura so the camera doesn't see her bump. She was quite pregnant but was trying to hide it. You can kind of see her put her hands on her stomach as she walks away. So cool to see it in the moment here as opposed to the zoomed in clip I'm used to.
I was wondering why when she came back in, she sat backwards, and then turned forward. That's cool.
"I am gonna sip this, and grin, and have a silent nervous breakdown." Mood, Mollymauk. Mood.
TIME. STAMP.

Man I love Laura's character in this campaign! And how she plays the character's mannerisms (and her accent lol), like when everyone was telling her Caleb can't hear in his familiar trance yet she keeps asking him things. Everybody really does well with their characters, but her joyful and inquisitive and naive child-like portrayal is making me wonder if I like her or Nott more. XD
Laura, Travis, and Sam are really great actors and I think DnD really let's this shine. So far their characters are the ones that truly feel fresh and new, whereas with the others there's definitely strong, strong echoes of Keyleth, Vax, and Percy. It's going to be fun watching these new characters develop over time.
Jester reminds of Merril from DA2 in a couple of ways.
She is my favorite!😍😍 Jester is the eternal child that I am in real life 😘😎😁😊😊
Her accent heavily reminds me of The quarians from mass effect 3
she is an absolute delight!
I really appreciate the solo sessions that we get to see its like a whisper for us too.
I sometimes wish whispers were like this
🙂
Jester: "What, you can talk to people in their heads? I could have so many uses for this..."
The minute Sam said "This is fine" while Nott was in the burning house I knew his character was gonna be an early favorite of mine, just like Scanlan was.
Yes to both of them I also love all the characters jaffe does!
Sam: 11 points of damage!
Matt: No, you leveled up so
Sam: Oh you're right! 10 points of damage!
Lauras reaction made me laugh so hard
10 months late but, timestamp?

Math is hard!!! 😆
From Grog to Fjord, holy shit his demeanor is so much different, the character change is like night and day, its amazing, Travis really is a skilled actor!
And it slowly becomes clearer where the group's name comes from...
I want to give a shout out to the person/s who do the german subtitles. Translating Matt's "Alrighty" with "Alles klärchen" or "nope" with "nö" instead of just "nein" is absulutely perfect.
Yeah, right? They're done rather well
That was most likely someone from Germany so that should have been rather easy.
the french is great too alrighty -> dacodac
Username checks out.
@@Wojjjie translating isn't easy even when it's your mother tongue, especially translating as tonally correct as this, it's impressive as hell
“Thank you for that... TERRIFYING thought... I’ll just at that to the f****** list!”
“If you do we can try to catch you in a jar.”

2:18:09 *rolls a nine* Taliesin "Okay.. This is becoming a thing"
Oh just you wait. It's a thing alright
Coming back to this is such a ride, so many things that sticked or mean something completly different now
Laura-“NIEN”
Liam-“We are so sorry guys”
Me-he has no idea 😭😂
"Unicorns exist you know."
Yes, I know. First turn of combat I made one appear due to wild magic and it nearly crushed our monk.
Well, that sounds fun. Wild Magic Sorcerer, I'll assume? I'm looking forward to using my WM Sorcerer.
i was playing a monk sorcerer and i single handly saved the party when i summoned a unicorn healing my allies seeing that i was trying to save them
Should have used Deflect Missiles on that one, poor choice on the Monk's part really.
I mean, for me atleast, if I get squashed to death by a unicorn I die happy
One of the guys in my campaign has a unicorn deity
"Tiny hamster unicorns." She has that character mastered.
I'm personally wondering how much of that is character how much is just Laura being Laura XD
I love watching Travis's face when Matt is describing something. Such a big smile.
The behind the scenes stuff is got to be insane though. Like, session zeros, whatever Ashley/Yasha is doing while the rest of the party is off, similar to when he asks all but one player to leave, I imagine they work out a storyline for her in the meantime. Matt knew exactly what every person had taken as their subclasses, they've discussed spells, abilities, ect. He knows everything about their characters. And its pretty impressive.
Nott when they climbed into the second floor of the burning house: "THIS IS FINE!"
I imagined that K.C. Green dog comic XD
I am convinced sam did that just for the meme lol
You just hurt them until they die! -Nott the strategist (no comma)
She's not wrong though.
El Bruce she’s *nott wrong though
One of my favorite moments of Caleb.. how proud he was a Nott casting a spell and at the same time Travis is whispering “kill them” haha and no one noticed! Haha
Them: "We can see our breath? thats really cold!!"
Me, a british person: "Only just see your breath?, thats sounds about normal temperature.
hey there, you have just started watching too?
@@yojayoung Yeah
To be fair, parts of the U.S are like that too. They're just from California.

Watching Travis for 2 Campaigns now is just so entertaining. The way he looks at Matt when detailing the monsters reactions, Grog or Fords attacks are like all of us watching cartoons on Saturday! :D
