@@PureGoldNeverCorrodes Jester from the start has had the tiefling fire stuff swapped to cold. I assume because her father is a water genasi (i imagine she just wanted cold instead of fire since blue). So it's actually pretty good an idea. Means jester has resistance to fire and cold

Honestly playing monk was a great call for marisha, you could tell in the first campaign at times she'd get pretty frustrated at what she could and couldn't do as a druid
I predict it'll be a big fat face slap from Marion onto Babenon, accompanied by something along the lines of "That's for leaving." And then a biiiiiig smooch, followed by "And that's for being here now." On a related note, I wonder what colour a red skinned tiefling and an aqua skinned water genes blush.
@@lucasmaloneywordsmith8661 red tieflings prolly something like a deep purple color, water genes prolly a deep turquoise color kinda thing, for blushes
My dude I had the exact same thing with my D&D group but we don't meet weekly, we meet monthly... so we played the same fucking day for FOUR MONTHS. My rogue was DONE. She needed a NAP.
@Nice nah you are the best, I just am happy to try to catch up. I was looking at my hoodies. I know it is the wrong genre but I am going to wear my hufflepuff hoodie.
Honestly I can’t tell what’s funnier, the fact that she’s a mom friend enough to worry about it that much or that Sam is enough of a troll that she couldn’t be 100% certain he WOULDNT kill Travis for a bit😂
Yeah, it's a great way of asking the question in game. TBH if the M9 campaign continues beyond this eyes of nine plot it wouldn't surprise me if Sam starts with a new character. Although I suspect this may actually be the end of campaign big bad.
@@chrism7395 eh, I wouldn’t bet on it being the finale, the show has no indicator of stopping and it seems the mighty nein has more stories to tell especially when it goes to level bc Vox Machina went to level 20 when it ended so they are probably doing the same for them
@@chrism7395 keep in mind how many big bads will still be left after Lucian...trent (with a possible successor story line) ukatoa, caduces's home corruption, the essek situation, the possibility of yussa being upset with the events of the last episode, there is so much more then the tomb takers storyline, and it seems like more and more get added week by week.. and let's not forget the most important storyline... reuniting with kiri
@@thatonedudea I'd forgotten about Kiri, there's something really suspect going on there! There's also Sprinkle to be revealed as a reincarnated Vecna :D
Before this episode, Marion was one of my favorite npcs because of her interactions with Jester. But after she dropped that massive wisdom bomb, she's now one of my favs in her own right. That perspective from her (and matt of course) was perfect. The Nein have done a lot of shady things (especially after the bloodbath in ep 127) and it makes them and us question are they really the good guys in this scenario? Marion's point was a reality check that in my opinion not only applies to the game but life in general. Good people will always do a little bad and good. But the real villains are those who shift the blame and consequences of their actions to others.
Doing bad things in the name of “good” is the sign of a bad people. The Mighty Nein had options for getting help: Allura, Pumat Sol, even Trent Ikithon could have provided them with the amulets or some other magical device. Instead of doing it the right way, they chose thievery and murder and endangered Jester and Nott’s families. Imo, Matt should have let them feel bad for what happened. It felt wrong to just say “hey, all of this bad shit you’ve done or caused is okay.”
@@eXJonSnow I would agree but Matt gives them consequences for there actions. And oh buddy if you only knew how things went with trent later, u see they were pretty much justified.
@@justshane9027 I've finished all of campaign 2, bud. Btw, why did Trent attack them and chase them? Was it maybe because they broke into the sanitorium, murdered people, and stole magical items? And when he confronted them about it, THEY attacked him first? Trent was completely justified in chasing down the MN. The party did some awful shit in those couple of episodes and Matt did a lot of backflips to try and stop them from feeling bad about it. If anything, Caleb using Dunamancy to murder Empire guards and steal equipment probably should have reignited the war.
@@eXJonSnow fair enough, but matt made it clear in the campaign wrap up how really depraved trent was... hunting them down maybe was encouraging by the incident but ultimately trent was gonna kill caleb or brain wash him back into the fold one way or another. If the m9 did nothing, trent would have still interfered. So yeah there actions at the sanatorium were in my opinion justified (not good or ethical) but justified due the fact that trent was serious levels of evil
@@justshane9027 They went to the sanitorium to get the medallions to fight off Lucien, not Trent, though. Trent never really crossed their minds until he went to investigate the commotion.
I love that this time Fjord has learned his lesson while in the Study. "We don't touch anything." Many episodes ago, he just wanders up and touches a random gem and is stuck fighting a dragon by himself.
I appreciate these highlights so much, helps me remember the real standout parts of the episode, both the important parts story-wise and the funny bits. I also typically listen to the show while doing something else so being able to see the cast's reactions to things being highlighted is also great. Keep up the good work, we all appreciate it!
This episode made me go for a stress jog at 5am, causing me to miss the resurrection... Glad Matt is looking out for my cardiovascular well being, if not my sleeping pattern.
Seriously one of my favorite moments, EVER. It does really summarize EVERY SINGLE EPISODE, where these bumblefucks stumble into every trap and enemy while reading orc erotica
The whole Fire Plane went from somewhat lighthearted and fun with Veth and Jester’s talk, and Cad and Luc’s moment, to complete horror when the homebrew elemental exploded
yeah, i'm not sure why i didn't put that in honestly haha. it would have been funny to put that in and then put in a clip of that video where the person is running around the house saying stuff like "get rid of the couches! we can't let people know we sit!" if you know what i'm talking about. but oh well i suppose
My husband is a fan but doesn't have time to sit and watch a full episode, I love being able to show him your videos and relive these moments with him.
Sam is normally the comic relief/zany chaos gremlin...so every time he goes serious, it just really stuns me into deep emotion. Whether it's Scanlan's post-revived meltdown and temp departure from VM, Veth's moment in this episode, or FCG speaking with Dancer in the most recent Bell's Hells...dang. Goosebumps.
Never underestimate a mother’s rage! Also, it reminds me of the two nat 20s Vex rolled in campaign 1 when Vax was in danger. The lesson to be learned here: Don’t mess with a mother’s kid, or anyone’s twin.
Spoiler! That moment when everyone goes quiet after Marione screams....that is when it gets serious. Damn you Matt Mercer, setting children on fire for our amusement!
@@BaronVonDex Really? People are idiots. I was only having a joke, Matt was just doing what he is supposed to do as DM. You drag NPC's into an encounter, there going to be in the splash zone.
@@jackmyers8687 oh yeah, it was everything from "well he picked that monster!" To "he wont let the fun ball crew out until everyone is dead" to "he did it on purpose, otherwise he would have moved the thing away from the NPCs before exploding". Like, if they dont think Matt was the person at that table hoping he didnt have to make that call the Most, they bviously dont know him at all.
With all fairness given to the shade being thrown at the Ballers being all "good thing the families didn't go in there," I don't think surviving the flamestrike in the foyer or the leap across the abyss would have been any more manageable by the three NPCs.
For those who are just a slight bit lost on what they're all laughing about when Fjord's message comes back slowed, in AWP they mention the slowed down audio of Scatman!
Just a few minutes before the break I caught the stream and used that Donald glover community gif to describe what it felt like tuning in at that moment to others
Honestly, the somber mood right before the break fading into a happy cheerful plushie ad is a highlight to me that I think deserved an honorable mention.
I watched this episode live... It's the first live show I caught since November, and I was just sitting on my couch staring at my phone in horror. My wife got home and was so concerned something genuinely bad had happened, because I never cry, but damn, this episode got me teary-eyed.
Caduceus bringing back Luc legitimately got me choked up. I'm a firefighter. I've seen that shit in real life. I had to pause the video and go take a short walk before I finished.
@@ericcameron7273 My condolences man. I've been in an apartment fire before, can't imagine the bravery it takes to willingly push yourself into a situation.
My dad had to stop being a volunteer firefighter for that reason. He loved the job, but the first time there was a child involved, he said he cried his eyes out; he quit a week later.
I'm still on The Edge™️ to see what happens with Sam and Veth. You could really see Sam considering where he wanted to go with his character in that moment.
YAAASSSS i look forward to these videos every monday almost as much as i look forward to the actual episodes on thursdays!!!! thank you so much for making these!!!!!
The first half of this episode: Super fun escape times in the happy fun ball. The second half of this episode: Unintentionally putting loved ones in mortal danger
Looking back this fight was the most anxious anything in campaign 2 ever made me feel. I was so worried about their families and what it would mean of they lost any of them. If Luc or Marian had died, Veth and Jester would have broken down completely, and the end of this campaign would have been so grim.
5:47 "I wasn't trying to stop her" I wouldn't either, and I think it'd be me being amused and scared as shit that this big ass woman is kicking this door with the strength of llama!
The first part of this episode stressed me out so badly I had to turn it off... little did I know it got so much worse. Grateful for this recap so I can stay up to date. Thank you!
Thank you for this highlight and i appreciate all your videos. Love it! Although i watched this episode live, Luc moment still make me cry. The suspense really got me. Luc with Uncle Ducey moment is the best thing to mend the sadness.
Even now watching that again and knowing what happens I still fell like these encounters could have been a TPK or at least permanently killed half of the party.
I love your recaps, sometimes I miss those smaller moments when listening to it all at once(or even breaking it into two parts) Keep up all the great work!
I love (read: absolutely hate with a gut-wrenching sadness) that 3 of the 4 parents can be seen nearly crying the minute Luc got hit. They felt that shit.
Even having already watched the episode and knowing the little fella's gonna be okay, I'm still out here re-watching those scenes with a hand over my mouth and an AWFUL feeling in my heart.
Because even though he's "ok" he still died horribly and that's deeply traumatizing for a child, (for anyone really) and Matt makes the npc's real people so we care.
Thank you, those cuts are really nice for people who don't have the time to watch the whole episodes sometimes. I can get the most interesting and important moments and can kind of keep up with the plot without losing toooo much!
Love these highlights. Really gives me the best way to recap the things I enjoyed about the past episode without having to go to the twitch vod or youtube vod for it!
These videos are so well put together! You highlight all the best moments from the episodes and bring out specific reactions from cast members that I never noticed during the stream! Keep it up!
"Do you still have that ring?"
"No Jester has it!!!! FUCK!!!! THE ONE TIME!!!!"
That exchange makes me so happy for some ridiculous reason! XD
Giving a Tiefling a fire resistance ring.
@@PureGoldNeverCorrodes Jester from the start has had the tiefling fire stuff swapped to cold. I assume because her father is a water genasi (i imagine she just wanted cold instead of fire since blue).
So it's actually pretty good an idea. Means jester has resistance to fire and cold
@@blakebrown3888 I hope she takes Inerfnal Constitution at some point it’s my favourite race specific feat
@@tamafalconer9581 i don't think she will. As it gives cold and poison resistance
And she already has cold.
Matt may consider alterning the feat a bit, to give fire resistance. But that's a big if
Besides it doesn't seem jesters style
@Blake Brown I don’t believe she’s attuned to ring she’s just wearing it.
Love how Marisha really went "Never again" after the goldfish incident and decided to play a monk.
She picked a monk because pretty much they can run up/down/left/right walls, and slow fall.
To quote a comment from the CR channel:
"Beau's favourite terrain is falling"
Honestly playing monk was a great call for marisha, you could tell in the first campaign at times she'd get pretty frustrated at what she could and couldn't do as a druid
@@mistamemewide she... Could have turned in to a bird...
@@emerald_archer I KNOW
Sam: "Snakin its way!"
Matt: So you have chosen your sons death
How funny!! Lmfao well done. That's pretty damn DARK AF, though, hilarious!
I really appreciate the parts being called "Yikes" "Yikes part II" "Yikes part III" "Yikes part VI"
With ashley's meltdown stuck right in the middle too xD
The Yikening
"F*CKING MERCER"
I love how Ashley just instantly assumes the machine noise is some kind of Sam ploy.
I know everyone wants Luc to become a wizard under Calebs training but I so badly want him to become a Cleric because of Caduceus
Arcane Cleric/Ranger multiclass
It really does makes sense that he'd apprentice or acolyte under Cad for saving his life. A wild-mother rogue all the way.
He'll certainly be well rounded with all the people who love him and will influence him.
As adorable as him being Caleb's apprentice would be, he *clearly* vibes the most with Cadeucus. Bless his lil' heart.
I think it'd be cool if he took training from both Veth and Cad and became a phantom rogue.
Really want an animation of 10:38 where Yasha lands in a "superhero landing", Beau lands with a roll and then it cuts to Fjord who lands on his face
it's just that one scene from Steven Universe where all the gems land so perfectly then Steven just *SPLAT*

It's a beautiful thing to behold.

Should've had the LPL look at that lock Beau was messing with. Would've caught that false gate on the fourth tumbler and not triggered the trap.
This really shows Ashleys ability to be the source of chaos she is now as Fearne
This is why like 4 people in the c3 team has thieves tools
I love these highlights! Such a fun way to relieve the moments and get a quick recap ❤️
Best episode title so far! The visual I got when Marisha said that was so visceral, and made my sides hurt from laughter!
Never thought I would see the day a Flame Atronach almost wiped out an entire party of well-equipped adventurers.
I love your recaps, sometimes I miss those smaller moments when listening to it all at once(or even breaking it into two parts) Keep up all the great work!
I just love the 'Ta-Da"
I find myself refreshing your channel on a regular interval on Mondays =)... Love the editing!
I love (read: absolutely hate with a gut-wrenching sadness) that 3 of the 4 parents can be seen nearly crying the minute Luc got hit. They felt that shit.
I don't think I've gone a day without quoting 'snaking it's way' since this episode aired
Even having already watched the episode and knowing the little fella's gonna be okay, I'm still out here re-watching those scenes with a hand over my mouth and an AWFUL feeling in my heart.
“You hear Marion scream” and then silence. My heart runs cold every time.
@@uhkingdom EVERY. TIME.
Because even though he's "ok" he still died horribly and that's deeply traumatizing for a child, (for anyone really) and Matt makes the npc's real people so we care.
Matt’s about to be 2 never married parents flirting with each other....
Ah yes, Wine Aunt Beau and Weed Uncle Cad
I feel that Beau is more of an older sister, but still with wine.
Thank you, those cuts are really nice for people who don't have the time to watch the whole episodes sometimes. I can get the most interesting and important moments and can kind of keep up with the plot without losing toooo much!
THE ONE TIME THAT RING WOULD'VE HELPED
I felt like this highlight can be used to counter when people say Matt Mercer went easy on his players.
Love these highlights. Really gives me the best way to recap the things I enjoyed about the past episode without having to go to the twitch vod or youtube vod for it!
I think about "slurpee out a car window" at least once a week
Fucking fantastic analogy
Travis's face at 12:29 reminds me so much of every face Reggie from inFamous: Second Son made at Deslin when he did something stupid
I think this episode was the most stressed out I've ever been by any piece of media.
If you ever watch c1: " the kill box" come back and give your opinion. THAT episode was the most stressful for me. Nothing else has compared.
May I just say how freaking awesome these highlight videos are?!
That was well put together! :) great job 👏🏻 I enjoyed the retelling and love the ending clip you chose.
the emotional whiplash these videos give is wild
“Try and just listen for one at a time, that’s the trick.”

These videos are so well put together! You highlight all the best moments from the episodes and bring out specific reactions from cast members that I never noticed during the stream! Keep it up!
it warms my heart seeing how good friends they all are and how much they care about eachother
