Especially Pike's "convo" with Scanlan at the end "Grog-uh." (How it sounded like Ashley said it).

And they're both 8 year olds for different reasons XD

8-year-olds??? Man, get drunk enough at the right time in your life, and with the right person, and this convo can happen when you're 30

@@DoctorPerverto this convo can happen when your 80, does not change that they sound like 8 year olds in their helplessness and drunk stupor. The wight company can turn everyone vunerable and alcohol realy does not help with eloquence, they are allowed to sound like children

nah she was in love with vex man gay

@@tea2374 I think Ashley actually said it in a QnA that Pike had a crush on Percy.

@@Evija3000 The campaign wrap up to be precise

Early on when asked about Scanlan, Ashley stated that Pike was into someone else. There was of course a lot of speculation including someone from the ship she had sailed with before the stream, but many people did deduce it was Percy. Even much later Pike told Scanlan that she liked someone else. And yeah confirmed later that she had been into Percy for a long time.

@@tea2374 You don't have to make everything into a gay story...

I'm the 70th like, just so I can ruin 69.

It is what he deserves for the excellent and true to character RP choice he made. Bastard.

@@tamaralso You got Scanlan all wrong, he's a legend and the most authentic RP'er on the table.

@@blazinkid5178 Oh I know all that and I love him very dearly but he is also a little bastard man. A Bard's Lament is one of my favorite C1 episodes because it's so compelling and upsetting and so true to form. Really, really excellent roleplay, but also, like... rude.

​@@tamaralso There's a dichotomy I'll outline immediately: "whilst they never asked, he never told"; a point brought up by Vex and Scanlan during the argument. Scanlan risked flesh and blood for them with disregard for his own needs, they valued his skills more than him yet, even then, he was the last thought of anyone in the party when shit hit the fan because they assumed too much. I get why he was so angry, they didn't know the driving points behind his call to adventure, a simple desire for family. He acted selflessly on their behalf's before knowing the world threat but the problem for his friends. When Percy went for vengance, the team followed, when Pike needed to descend into hell, the team followed, when Keyleth needed to get revenge, the team followed. When Scanlan needed time, the team chastised him for being unreasonable but on an individual basis, there's a bit to unpack. Vax is equally a reckless narcissist and an earnest and caring man but Scanlan's had his back so often, he took it for granted. But I think Vax said what he needed to and vented before Scanlan left so he had no qualms with letting Scanlan go because he knew what he needed to reflect on. Keyleth really didn't connect with Scanlan beyond a surface level and for all Keyleth talks about family, she never really took time to understand him as much as the others. I think that's because she's trepidatious towards emotion and doesn't know how to handle it well. Percy was angry because of the potential information leakage and the lost of an asset, not a friend. But that's because he's very much logical and secreative, he really doesn't know how best to show concern for the man behind the tools. Grog was fully betrayed, he loved Scanlan and was always willing to help him out; respected his wishes Scanlan essentially hid from him and didn't even call. Scanlan essentially walked out on the only one who cared the whole way, Grog felt so hurt, he couldn't even beat Lionel's ass for it. He lost his drinking/whoring buddy and best friend , being replaced on two fronts, by the bardbarian and his daughter. Pike was bitter because Scanlan shat on everything she was, Pike saves lives and does the best good she can. I'm kinda surprised that she didn't see past his bullshit about "the weird magic" and see the fear he has of leaving his daughter but she rightfully slapped him because he didn't have faith in his family. But worst of all Pike never got to respond nor even say goodbye, Scanlan professed love extensively before seemingly two-timing her out of nowhere Vex gave up the chance to contribute to her friends resurrection because she thought it in his best interest and was chastised because of a promise she wasn't aware of, she was rightfully pissed. Yet Vex was the only one who immediately understood, reflected and improved from the situation, she saw that there was something missing. Out of everyone, she took the most time to see past the outburst and do better, she called her brother out when he joking picked up Scanlan, she actually took care to learning about his replacement Tary and she was the driving force in mending the broken party back together. Even when he came back, most of them initially soured at how he returned; only the twins were truly happy. I think that's because they, out of everyone, really tried to better understand Scanlan's plight.

Taliesin. Ta-LIE-SIN

5:37 perfect

He looks so personally offended

That's why she is the parties mom friend, she just told him she was not angry, but dissapointed!

Ashley come back, any kind of fool could see There was something In everything about you Ashley come back, you can blame it all on Scanlan. There's a new game, And you just aren't in it. Yasha come back...

That's what Scanlan gets for being a little shit.

It's brutal, but deserved

Ya me too. It would be just so cute. ^_^

My wife is wanting to, as soon as she gets the time :)

But with the exact same size pile of empty tankards beside them both.

Curtis DeGraw Hey..I recognize that name I think. Do you live in Ohio?

Small like when comparing real world Ashley to real world Travis....Casue Travis is a large man

Momsta

Also, this was probably the most "I am not angry, I am dissapointed" move in all of dnd history

Grog is like 8 feet tall and jacked, 2 Gnome beds would barely be enough for a Human let alone a Goliath like Grog, he would need 4-5 Gnome beds but at a certain point you would just get a bed made especially made but seeing as Grog never sleeps in a bed i think he just slept on a pile of hay or pillows on the floor

Now I picture Grog curling up at the foot of Pike's bed like a puppy.

@@SilentExile729 Thats one big puppy.

Consider: Grog doesn't have teddy bears. He just has gnomes.

@@BornAScout it's basically canon at this point anyway. I mean Vax once said he kept Grog company because he was Gnomeless at that point and Travis cries that it made it real again.

Yeah that CALL back to SPOILERS!!! Previous Percy Trade, Where Percy made him that but Grog was all like, I don't really like the pinwheel but I will take it anyways as an Advance. That line just made everything for me :D :D

Agree, she had so little attendence but slayed so hard, that Pike is my favorit character by far

Yeah... :( :( I miss Scanlan so much. But, Spoilers ----- After that Scrying. I kinda am angry with him. :( DAMN YOU BEAUTIFUL/INTELLIGENT BEAST Sam Reigel.

Angry with him? Why?

im curious as to wether or not pike is actually in love with scanlan and never wanted to admit it until now

Because he is HAPPY. :( :( :D :D I understand why he did it. But he could've just taken a break and got back to them :(...

+yully89 - Ashley previously said that Pike is actually starting to fall for Scanlan. Maybe you are right she is slowly accepting it now that she misses him?

I adore Travis for setting that up got her, just as much as her delivery, so brutal and it hit home hard!

ANIMEniac Reviews to hear Sam tell it his leaving had to happen. And after you hear the motivations you'll agree. now that's not to say it hurt any less.

where might one hear these motivations?

on...... *Critical role*

I'm starting to feel attacked... and no, no I don't.

@@themirror8994 Or also Talks Machina, but mainly the Critical Role wiki

Would have been awesome; and frankly, I wouldn't put it past Fearne!

Atomsk0192 the face that sam makes a few seconds later is the best face hes ever made. Hes like laugh sobbing and i crack ho every time i see it.

And then they just...let it out...

(づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ YEAH she ISSSS .....

Right? I first saw her in a Mel Gibson movie that came out like, late 90s/early 2000s and I've had an obscure celebrity pseudo-crush on her ever since. She's adorable. :)

UnDerBo0BSwEat feelin good

Thank you! (●´ω｀●)

Sure but, in D&D, there's more to it than that. Here two months after your comment, we're in the final arc of Vox Machina's story. When someone dies or retires, it's going to be meaningful, but the player still needs to be part of the game meaning a new character needs to be introduced and there just isn't time for that. That's why it, from a narrative standpoint, will be more satisfying to see every character (or no character) make it to the end or at least the final confrontation. *SPOILERS EP104ish* The way Vax is effectively killed off yet still can remain part of the story is a very neat solution.

"when someone dies or retires, It's going to be meaningful" *keyleth proceeds to jump of a cliff and turn into a goldfish, instantly dying on impact. LOL

Heh, I strongly doubt anyone will die permanently in such a manner

I laughed so hard. There was no way she could survive, even by hitting water.

@@josiahklein70 under the original rules for fall damage she would have lol that's the rediculous part

She is our Monstaaaaaaaaaa.....

The souls of all the porta-potties he blew up as a kid

Oof. He certainly did not as it turns out...

Thank you so much. I think the MOMENT was 10x better and it bolstered my editing. :D :D

Thanks, Druid Dreads. (Cool Name)

Thanks yo! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Yup THAT she is ╰(◡‿◡✿╰)

Nabroc Majere Well, considering that an in-game year will have passed by next Thursday, perhaps Percy will become too settled in Whitestone to continue adventuring alongside Vox Machina.

Nabroc Majere Did you happen to witness the latest episode? A lot of info got dropped on us concerning a certain PC.

I DID Bmon624! It was a lovely little episode that made my heart happy. I think matt is trying to make up for lost/limited time with her. P.S. I'm pretty stoked to have prankster Vax back! He had good reason to go Emo for a while, but it's good to have him back! ooo Did you catch the fire side chat with Matt? The chat helped him make an NPC and a monster that should make for interesting times to come!

Nabroc Majere I missed it live, but they have in here on youtube now, and that was a blast! And yes, I missed prankster Vax as well, but that escalated SO quickly! I never thought Vex would sic Trinket on him, but then again, he never caused their Hotel room to be ruined either. So good! Plus, there's the issue of the blood curse. That's super creepy, and I can't wait to find out what it involves.

Nabroc Majere You sure you want what you said now?

Thank you so much. I love this moment too. Way too much. Watched it so many times while editing it. ^_^ :D :D

It is a GREAT clip! I rewatched this episode, and I saw this clip playing in my head! I just can't stop laughing! Sam's reactions are just...priceless! Plus, the Intro and Out-tro, are perfect!!!

Get them donating going and you will get that

Marc-Alexandre Plouffe wish GRANTED! (Thank you Kickstarter!)

And here we are 2022 WITH A ANIMATED SERIES ON AMAZON PRIME! =D

Rokkiteer Same with me, this is the first clip I watched then a while later I watched the first episode and I’ve been hooked since then!

Aww, thank you so much. I definitely want to do more but one of my main hard disks got corrupted and I am also recovering from surgery. So I thought once I recover a bit and get new drives, restore some files I would go back to editing videos like this. I have also a plan to do a video Titled "Vax and his stuff" Compilation of Twin moments and every time Vax gave something away and got back. It's a fun video I kinda want to make it so that It would shine Vax's true love for his sister, Kiki and the people around. There are some scenes where it is actually expressed this way so putting them all together will be fun. :D Anyways, Sorry for that mini rant. It's just that your comment was so nice. (∪ ◡ ∪)

Thanks, Phil... ⊂◉‿◉つ

Thank you... ヽ(‘ ∇‘ )ノ

Oh, my Goodness thank you so much. Critters like you are who inspire me to keep doing this stuff and more. Love to you my German sibling.

I think Taliesin says something along the lines of "You ara a Terrible person. Or you are terrible." And Sam simply whispers "Oh My God"

Yes, that does seem to fit the lips better. haha that's amazing

Oh my God ...

Thanks. And Yup!. ^_^

wouldnt that be better off being Sam?

I dont know, since he dont play that char anymore.

that would mean Scanlan would have to have been in Whitestone and like...in the pub next door, cause the earrings have a range.

HolyConspiracyTheory although that would be pretty funny

HolyConspiracyTheory Yes, but the range is like half a mile or something like that.
