Sam’s gas can says “Breaking Smiley, I am the one who smiles” with a picture of FCG with angry eyebrows Headless: A Sleepy Hollow Series is a KZfaq series inspired by Legend of Sleepy Hollow. It has DnD luminaries such as our own Matt Mercer, Ginny Di, and Krystina Arielle all doing fantastic work. Plus, it just feels like a throwback to KZfaq modernizations that I used to love like The Lizzie Bennet Diaries and Emma Approved (can’t put my finger on exactly why). You can watch it on the Shipwrecked KZfaq channel, new episodes are dropping every Monday. Any moments I missed? Feel free to post them here. Is it Thursday yet?

Orym: They're talking about that thing I broke. Ashton: OH I just assumed I broke something FCG: I'm broken inside

When FCG said "I am a bit of a monster" whilst sitting next a zombie and werewolf

I love how Travis in C1 goes from I hate shopping and inter-group romance to C2 - I hate shopping but inter-group romance is ok if it's my wife to C3 - SHOP ALL THE THINGS AND ROMANCE EVERY LADY.

Whenever I saw someone whining about how FCG is a joke character… I was like “ho boy, you must have never seen a Sam Riegel character.” And I was right.

Everyone: "Sam no stop" Ashley: "no wait lets see where he's going with this"

Travis aggressively taking a note in response to Ashton saying "Brown paint on brown wood, what will they think of next?" "I've learned something about you...."

"Yknow what a lot of those soldiers did? They went home. Started a family. Started a business. Juat because you're made for a purpose doesn't mean it defines you." WOW Matthew Mercer👏👏

Sam: I wrote an incredibly detailed, tear-jerking speech, in the span of the break, that highlights all the actions and admirable aspects of my fellow PCs, inspires hope to the city around me, and deceives the authority figures to stop what they're doing and allow everyone to escape, directly contradicting earlier orders, and it was so good I didn't need to roll Also Sam: I'm gonna brush my teeth with uncooked spaghetti, a pickle, pipe cleaners, a cigar, licorice and more at the same time lol

Inspirational words from Ashton: “I can be the person I wanna be a still be a bit fucking broken. You can still be the best broken person you can be”

Sam: "Read faster!" Marisha: *Reads louder*

Laudna, about Imogine: "NO ONE GOES ALONE" Laudna, about Chet going off solo: "Do it."

"Have you ever been dissapeared before?" "I have" I busted a gut with how stone cold that was

Fern trying to put the box in her skirt: "Nobody's gonna know." Everyone: "they're gonna know." Fern: "How would they know?"

"D" is DEFINITELY Devexian - the robot that the Mighty Nein resurrected in Aeor.

gosh matt really embodied dancer's whole 'I want to forgive you but you've ruined me' thing she's got going on (rightfully so), like down to the look on his face and the gleam in his eyes.

Something tells me that Orym is gonna be the reason why they'll be exposed. At the ball, Orym failed a Deception check on Treshi when he was looking for the ring. Treshi told one of his bodyguards to keep his eye on Orym. Specifically, the Minotaur.

everyone: Marisha read faster! Marisha, secretly enjoying the chaos: *continues to read slowly*

Sam set up a string of sex jokes during character creation and the pay off is glorious!!!

I think Travis sees through everyone's acts, and he can tell when Matt's planning something. He gets a devilish smile on his face and crooks his eyebrows, like he knows. He knows.

Okay, everyone was teasing them afterwards-- but Laudna and Ashton's shopping bit was my favorite ever. I love that Matt didn't even make them roll a deception check because it was just so flawless

As a DM, I feel sympathetic pain for the agony on Matt's face when the session is careening off the rails. But as a viewer, I friggin love it.

(Matt, voice broken and defeated) "sAM! What's W R O N G with you???"

Chetny: Have you ever been disappeared before Laundaa, deadpan: I have.

Honestly, the biggest critical role fan is one of its members. Just watch Ashley. She’s just as enthralled in the story as we are.

If I had a nickle for every time a Critical Role character flirted with a Minotaur, I would have 2 nickles, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice so far.

1:17:51 *Might* be the most visibly upset I've seen Matt in reaction to something Sam said. Just the sudden realisation of what Sam made canon in his world.

I think in the case of FCG it's "REBORN-KILL-RESET" cycle since their Aeor days. Because Matt said that many voices are there while Imogen deep diving the first time. Just think that for centuries FCG just befriending random groups, then suddenly snaps, kills them all only to be found out by another unlucky group or individual.

I have been having a really hard year, dealing with past traumas. Ashton/Tal talking about being the best you can be while still being broken... it hit hard but in a good kind of way.

Whether it ends up being romantic or platonic, I love Laudna having Ashton, someone she can drop all pretenses around, snark at, and show off the harsher, darker, imperfect parts of herself she tries to hide, even (especially) around Imogen. And I think she’s the only person in the party Ashton has willingly talked about his feelings with.

During the ad we got to see such a nice spread of reactions: Ashley: entertained Laura: concerned Liam: Amazed Matt:absolutely horrified Travis: morbid curiosity Taliesin:shame

4:07:30 Ashley's reaction to Tal's comment "I don't think I've seen more than maybe just the first branch of a very big tree" in reference to Lauda's shit was exactly how I reacted. I'm glad someone else caught that. And also I had a big laugh from "Very poor circulation" from Tal a few minutes prior because... you know.. Laudna is dead and all

Everyone: Why would FCG snap after talking to everyone about their problems for ages? People who have been the “therapist friend” before: been there done that

I was SO hoping Laura/Imogen would’ve rolled this wild magic surge: 17-18 “You grow a long beard made of feathers that remains until you sneeze, at which point the feathers explode out from your face.”

“Just because you’re made for a purpose doesn’t mean it defines you.” - Imahara Joe

1:13:50 -- "Yep. Here's your problem. Someone set this thing to evil." -- Krusty Doll Repairman

Its very rare that Matt uses his DM powers to stop his players doing something, but he will do it to make sure that FCG's flesh tongue is not canon. Thank you Matt.

I want to hear the story of the unlikely hobgoblin pickle vendor.

Sam's entire character and backstory, he made for a sex joke. Yet he STILL made it heartbreaking.

You can just see the evil grin on Sam's face when he knows he got the golden ticket after he gave Matt his backstory, and Matt can't do anything about it now, but watch it all unfold. You can see for a brief moment around 1:18:00 that Matt is thinking "Rocks fall, everyone dies".

i a d o r e Travis and his face while looking at the rest of the party. He's figuring it out. all of it

Sam has no problem unhinging his jaw like a snake and shoving half of a kitchen in his mouth. For you, it was one of the most disturbing things you’ve ever seen. For Sam, it was Thursday.

"This is the new 'what time is it'?" Marisha reading Liam like a book. XD

Ashton: we all have problems, except for this guy, apparently *gestures to orym* Orym: *are you undermining my trauma??*

I can imagine a scene where Delilah pops up unannounced and Laudna just answers like "Hey there Delilah" and the cast to go "whats it like in new york city?"

Loved Laudna dropping her playful demeanor. Her serious way of talking is equally delightful

The universe has existed for more than 13 billion years and it all lead up to one moment Sam: "The One-Eyed Monster slayed my *****"

Anyone else really touched by Travis' response to Liam at around 2:39:45? Maybe I misread it but in that moment, as someone who struggles to think straight sometimes, (because of cognitive issues) Travis' gentle encouragement was perfect. He's so thoughtful.

Speaking of the sponsor ad, I love that after all these years, Sam can still surprise his friends with the lengths to which he takes his bits.

Ashton and Launda discussing how they're the fucked up ones in their respective partnerships is so cute and funny to me in a way like, supervillians having bars they go to to talk about their nemesis. Like "god, if you think Spider-Man is annoying, wait until you meet that Robin kid"

Holy hell I love Ashton and Laudna’s dynamic. Platonic, romantic, or otherwise their chemistry is so great and I need more of it

2:56:04 The sound Matt makes when the shield almost comes to rest! We all know what a master he is of sound effects: but, come on, what he did is unbelievable!!

Liam’s Awe at Matt’s Foley work is always a delight seeing voice actors get impressed by their peers is so cool. 2:56:10 for those who need this on repeat.

Ashton repeatedly calls Laudna "kooky". I keep expecting someone to expand by calling her creepy as well... and then she'll snap her fingers twice.

Matt: “it looks like an automaton beast of burden” Me, internally: *_Carrowhulks!!!_*

I refuse to believe orym is the most stable person in the group. Given it's Liam he probably is hiding some emotional trauma that's going to come to light eventually. I think it's his whole dealing with the loss of his husband and is neglecting the guilt. Or he might actually be wanting to play a stable and emotionally healthy character for once. It's pretty interesting and different compared to Caleb.

1:17:53 With every bit that they come up with for FCG, Matt gets closer and closer to hucking a meteor at them and ending the campaign.

Quip: Don't use the toothbrush on camera (weird right?) Sam: I'll make you pay for that

1:11:53 Matt saying “It’s not canon” in reference to FCG’s flesh tongue was the most reassuring thing this episode Edit: typo

"They're building something to look at the moon, right?" Uh, do we not remember all that floatstone shit that was getting smuggled in the early episodes? They're not planning to LOOK at the moon, they're planning to GO there.

Orym: "How do we not scare Dancer off?" FCG: "Well we're not very scary people." Ashton, Laudna, Chetney, Fearne, Imogen, and Orym: *Press X to Doubt* FCG: "I mean you're not, you're all real friendly." Ashton: *menacing chuckle*

Oh man, if Devexian comes back and tries to lead a robot uprising..i will be SO happy, do it Matt

"What will you do, Imogen Temult?" To FCG: "Who do you wanna be?" Loving all these coach talks from Orym in the last 2 episodes.

Imogen: Think of D me: think of D fondly

I love how often Ashley makes Sam laugh. She’s come so far as an accomplished role player.

"It's like a switch went off in your head." Ironically, for FCG it could be a literal switch.

I doubt anyone is going to read this seeing is an 8 month old video and stuff but i am catching up with bells hells. I am going through some dark stuff in my life right now and this show just brings so many smiles in my life I love the stories and the jokes and the inmense lore its just awesome and makes my days a bit better so i just wanted to say thanks

So, remembering back to Ashton's backstory, there's absolutely some variation of Dunamancy potions in those crates (especially knowing Ludinus is in play) The Otohan/Ludinus/Unseelie group is building something in the desert to do something to the moon (that's actually prison built in secret by the gods, so secret that the only record of it was kept by the church of paladins that *canonically wipes memories of even their most trustworthy allies to keep even the knowledge of dangerous artifacts' existence a secret* ) and they're using fucking dunamancy magic for the device's construction.

I JUST missed Sam's bit when watching live, so all I saw is everyone traumatized and saying how it smells of mint and pickles and I thought having no context to any of it is just as good but even the wildest horrors in my mind didn't prepare me for the reality :D

Oh my god Marisha’s failing to read any faster was so funny

Ashley and Sam will never give up on trying to make the FCG flesh tongue canon, and I love them and hate them for it in equal measure.

How did Laudna's "Yes I have" answer to Chetney's "have you ever been disappeared?" Question not get more of a reaction? That sht was hilarious 🤣😂🤣

Ashley filming/taking a picture of Sam's gross self inflicted agony with a huge grin on her face gives me life

The trauma of Dancer hit hard, seeing the Bell’s Hells careening towards TPK and the big bad is themselves.

Have they totally forgot that the reason for meeting up with Dancer was ask her to look at the telescope to understand if it can work again without the crown?

Taliesin/Ashton: "I feel like I've only seen one branch of a very big tree..." Me: Like the one she was hung from? :D

The amount of lore in this episode was absolutely staggering.

1:17:00 the Merch breakdown will forever be my favorite campaign 3 moment.

"A male-presenting mysterious figure with an intricate metal mask who unearths ancient automatons named D". I hope this is the returning D I think it is.

1:17:52 This KILLED ME. 'SAM! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!'- Matt, the man that helped craft FCGs backstory, JUST gets it.

“Until then you’re a time bomb” Man that really hit me :c

**SPOILERS** The realization that FCG mimicked Dancer's voice is so sweet and sad at the same time.

Every time Matt says War Room, I keep hearing someone scream, “There is no fighting in the war room!”

“The one eyed monster slayed my pu$$y” I saw that joke coming when we found out FCG and co were hunting a one eyes monster. Such a good set-up.

Me having slept all day cause i was up all night puking: "Yesss! Finally the new episode is out, that will distract me well enough and make me forget how miserable i feel!" Then Sam's commercial happened...

Sam calling it order 66 is HILARIOUS! The space themes in this campaign continue to surprise me with how seamlessly Matt weaves them into the story

Everyone in the Seat of Disdain and Ashton: Don't ask questions. Laudna and Imogen: Ask all the questions.

I’ll never understand how the film crew manage to not laugh in the background.

Mental image: fcg talks to the coin joe gave it and after a while avandra reaches out to it, and she makes fcg into her cleric with the domain being the moon

Chetney: flirt harder Launda: *aggressively smiling* 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love when everybody is joking about FCG having a tongue Matt is, "No! That is not cannon." But when Fearne asks Matt plays it straight. That is such a small touch but still a fantastic bit that he add.

Ashton saying he's taking them through the ropes right after Laudna says she's been disappeared is such great timing lol

Travis sitting watching the ad was Great. As the CEO he wants to say something but watching Sam tormenting Marisha and the crew was wonderful too.

"Whack! whack! then there will be arterial spray and they will be able to track the crime scene and lead em right to us!" 😄 🤣

The "apply directly to the forehead" because Marisha physically couldn't keep it in, then followed by Matt's look of 'God I love this woman'

Chetney being very granular with the steps, then accusing laudna of being too granular, and her precious reaction to that whole interaction. Love it 😂

Shoutout again and always to Imahara Joe. Love the character, love the tribute. 💖💖💖💖💖

I can't help feeling that the most obvious indicator of how shocked Fearne has been by this whole thing was that she didn't try to pick her mother's pocket when they hugged 🤔

"Uh-huh. Science. It'll get you." - Imahara Joe (1:21:02) I would love to see that on a shirt!

I love the idea of the whole group just getting absolutely showered with woodchips every time Chet starts a new project 😂
