he wrote that speech during the break even

or as he calls it.. a thursday

GENIUS! EPIC! SO PERFECT THAT IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE NEXT ITERATION OF “THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT!” 🎉🎉🎉🎉

He really just wants them all to succeed and have fun :'3

Matt would never

@@tiger1within909 yeah he would, this is Loq's shining moment and he KNOWS there's a speech prepared. Matt would've remembered about Silvery Barbs too

My guess was he was asking because the assistant was gonna cast it to help.

Brennen not having Loras use dispel magic a spell he definitely knows

I missed that until just now.

the call back goes even deeper than that, mercer and brennon did a video after Mercer ran a game for Brennons group on Roll 20

brennen made this mini arc feel like it was 50 episodes

Because Brennan also knew that awarding this as a Nat 20 wasn’t guaranteeing a drastic shift in the overall story. In fact, he knew that the Calamity would be occurring, he knew this group were going to fail to stop the inevitable. But he knew that this would set up a vision of Peri-Calamity Exandria that ensured that there was a hope for the future, which inevitably resulted in modern day Exandria. It’s also why Cerrit’s escape was so important and impactful: out of the ashes of the complete decimation of the Shattered Teeth, Toramunda, and the Ring of Brass, a inquisitor eisfuuran phoenix would rise, literally and figuratively.

Not even people playing bards. But anyone with an interest in script-writing.

Sam is such a genius for having written this bit without knowing if he'd even have the chance to use it

Or he's just so far gone in his old age, that it didn't evem occur to him what happened.

@@TacoBlend Or he was already dead. With devils flying all over the city, even a powerful wizard can be overwhelmed, especially an old one who can't run that fast.

@@bdletoast09 longstrider aint gonna save you from 60ft fly speed

Especially because it was I think still a relatively new and niche spell. It was in a source book for a magic the gather setting that afaik wasn't super well received, so people outside the optimazation communities who all know how good the spell is wouldn't have that much experience with it.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't even edited like i can't remember a time even after switching to recorded broadcasts that CR ever used post edit effects like that during the game I'm pretty sure Brennan is just that good lmao

Brennan is just good at sound effects that was all him

When I started watching the show, I found Sam to be annoying. I felt he was always distracting the table from the important stuff and I thought he wasn't as invested in the story as the rest of them... But boy, was I wrong. The more I watch, the more I was entrapped by this man's natural charm. He can be a bit too much at times, but he cares very much for the story he and his friends are telling, and when he wants to, he can be the most incredible guy at this table filled with incredible people.

Sam is *always* paying attention.

it's on instagram!

He must have a really good contact to get all his bit stuff

I believe he got it at Dan Flashes

@@voltcorp that's a pretty complicated pattern that thing must've run him at least 1k

Possibly conflicted with uploader's irl political views

It's the final speech of his character in the mini campaign that shows the hours leading to the calamity.

It's a mini campaign that shows the final hours before the calamity. If you don't know critical role, think of Noah's flood. But he isn't Noah. He's just the journalist that brings the news of the coming doom to the world.

ExU Calamity, talks about the Calamity, an event in Critical Role's world Exandria that wasn't really talked about cause it happened a long time ago. Kind of a prequel. Can't say more without spoiling so go watch it!

@@DeinosDinos at this point if they watched this clip, the whole calamity is spoiled for them hahaha

if the people put their spell energy into the net some of them might die. they want to sacrifice the people
