What do you expect? Old ladies are their preferred enemy.

Wouldn't be surprised if Chris and Matt planned that out ahead of time. "If they kill one, make sure it's the old lady."

Epic pattern

The lower the numbers are for the oldies and higher numbers would be for newer tunes. Roll for musical era I guess 😅

Because he is canonically dead in the story.

@@BossDragon3000 I must've missed that detail, although I'm mainly talking about the guy playing Gern Blanston

There were allegations of sexual and emotional abuse against him by his ex-girlfriend. After an investigation (in which said ex refused to participate) by AMC during which he was removed from their show, he was eventually reinstated since nothing indicated that these claims were true. His previous partners and his current wife vouched for him, saying they were never mistreated in any way by him, and while some claim that they could associate emotional abuse with his character, they were anonymous claims that didn't really lead anywhere. Some accused him of blacklisting his ex and those that cross him, but I doubt it's anything serious. Another thing that later came up was the fact that his ex was cheating on him, leading to him breaking up with her, giving her a motive. As for Critical Role, the character was pronounced officially dead due to the whole ordeal and they didn't associate themselves with him anymore which I find pretty sad. I personally believe he's innocent, he's a funny, energetic guy who knows how to build a good character. But hey, what can you do, it's all in the past now and there's nothing we can do about him.

He took blows from their blades that did splinter his bones, But our Fatty pressed on, unbowed and alone. And when the mist cleared, all the foes were froze stiff, But not Fatty the Brave! Oh, and it's pronounced JIF. The Candle! The Candle! Alight! Came the cry, And alight Fatty did though he surely would die. No Mercy! No Quarter!

+Stormblade13 That is my dream for this show!

I would be epic, though understandable if they don't do that since managing upwards to 13 plus characters would be difficult, plus a large cast of NPC's.

I really want that too! Being a DM I understand it would be terribly chaotic having that many people but I thought there could be a doubling up system of some sort. Split everyone up in groups of three and have them add their initiative rolls together. The group acts on the same turn with a time limit to help things move along. If anyone can make it work Matt Mercer is the DM to do it.

That sounds like it could work. I'm not a DM or a D&D player (though this series makes me want to give it a shot), so I don't know what playing a game is actually like, but I agree. Mercer has proven himself to be a DM of the highest caliber.

This would be a good dual DM opportunity, Chris Perkins for Group A and Matthew Mercer for Group B. Totally doable, I think this would be amazing. Matthew Mercer, make it happen!

And all the candles should have lighten up! So that would be fucking terrible!

For the sake of simplicity, almost every fire effect in D&D specifies that it doesn't ignite flammable items/clothes if worn or carried. There's just too much fire in the game to keep track of all that without it getting R rated.

@@JollyGreenWizard Solely for gunpowder, speaking as someone who has always enjoyed flintlock fantasy type settings, I generally do not use this rule for environmental fire/evolutionary fire. Evolutionary is like a creature that naturally breathes fire (this includes red dragons of course) or fire elementals. If a wizard is casting fireball, yeah I'm willing to fiat/handwave a level of "I'm not trying to cause an explosion beyond the one I am in direct control of here." Though if the PCs want to open that door and start trying to use gunpowder that way with their own fire spells, I'll let them, but warn them that the gloves are off at that point. You've decided you want the world to work that way, you have to live with the consequences.

As a DM of 20+ years myself, matt is a very Gentle DM, these guys would of TPK'ed 5 times over if i was their DM, just from running their mouths at NPC's lol.

Half of the time when I hear "you can certainly try", I'm convinced it's code for "absoLUTELY FUCKING NOT but it'll be fun for me to watch, so by all means go ahead"

As a DM, here's a secret: When we utter these sacred words, it is only in circumstances of great hilarity to our species, to watch the character flounder in a half-baked attempt. In non-fantasy talk, we only say that if we know they're going to fail, and it's hilarious. Eg the time my dragonborn monk tried to tame a chimera, HTTYD style. The only reason he still has both hands is the artificer using one of his invocations on Replicate Magic Item: Prosthetic Limb.

That's what I said... I'm like will I ever get bored? Nope the funny parts still make me laugh till I cry & the sad parts make me cry till I cry. The other one that REALLY makes me die is the Vax & Grog get Scanlan... One... I CANT & VICTOR!!!!

Lol

Vex didn't have exhaustion, Scanlan did, I'm pretty sure. Ngl tho, even if it's funny, it really shows Vex being the most evil member of the party, everyone else has a conscience and vex is just a sociopath lol

Can you explain why it's so awesome? It's up to 1 3rd lvl spell, which you have store beforehand using a spell slot.

From the description here, it sounds like it could be used by a non-spellcaster. The spells could be stored on days when the slots were not used before a long rest.

So you could have Grog run into a room full of enemies and cast fireball (using Scanlan's insane DC of 20) before finishing each of them off by himself

DAMN dude. You found a sleeping giant in their possession and it just goes unused. This is arguably as good as or better than Craven's Edge. At least equal in standing considering he could have ANY spell in that his party has available.

Spell storing items are almost always underutilized which is good because the moment people realize it gets really annoying quickly by how op it it. 3rd levels to non spell casters. There's even some decent 2nd and 1ST level spells that are nice. Free spell slots even low level isn't bad either. Imagine a 3rd level cure wounds or healing word on a non healer that's free hp pots stored during downtime. 3 lvl 1 healing spells is basically 3 revives

Travis - "halved to three" Matt immediately - "to 2" lol

I rewatched that bit multiple times to see if anyone caught that, but no one did.

That's some 5-star mathis for ya

I mean, when you have an intelligence of 6 even pain wouldn't properly register itself in your body, amirite

@@marvindavidangelobullagay5239 wrong person

I would sign up to see a campaign with a gay campy blue Irish Dragonborn necromancer.

@@mrmadness2699 is sign up for a regular campy blue Irish Dragonborn necromancer

@@forsaken696 Perhaps the necromancer is ‘gay for pay’ 😜

@@forsaken696 but gay people are regular people

@@prestonsmith7313 mmmmmmmmmmm I’d disagree

Matt Mercer for Dungeon Grand Master!

It doesn't get any less weird next campaign either, with the new wide format when he stands up I always have a mild heart attack that he's just suddenly grown two feet.

Lol I think he's the tallest after Travis, which is pretty funny. I'm kind of hoping he plays a firbolg or goliath or something in C3. Or a pixie.

@@rizahawkeyepierce1380 nope he plays a lil robot

@@jakewulgar he's gotta keep us guessing!

Scanlan arrives late *every* time though, so we see him at full height all the time

Sure come at us with math. Next you'll be figuring out thac0 on the fly.

Actually, doing real math it turns out to be 66,3 USGallons and 255 litres

@@alessandrofioletti6099 I don't know what kind of funky math you're doing where 66 gallons of water spread over a 5 ft. x 5 ft. space would somehow be 10 ft. tall. The math is incredibly simple. 5 ft x 5ft x 10 ft. is 250 sq ft. There is 7.48 gallons/sq ft. How exactly does that add up to 66?

@@datmanydocris A tiny fix, but 5ft x 5ft x 10 ft is cubic ft, not sq ft. For the same reason, there can't be 7 gallons per sq foot, liquid's not measured that way.

Just google 3000 cubic ft to gallons... it's 22,441.xxx gallons - an insane amount

Yeah It would of been better if Scanlan had cast the spell rather than Vax using the cloak that way Vax would still have the cloak as that cloak has the Dimension Door spell enchanted in it which is very useful since for the most part the only person Scanlan can take with him in Dimension Door is Pike while Vax can take anyone except for maybe Grog and Trinket

"Block, block, blockin' up Fire Plane do-oor. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah-yeah-yeah. Block, block, blockin' up Fire Plane door."

@@TheGreatDrake True, but I think he was worried he would dimension door into the portal which would have been very bad.

Eyyy fellow rewatcher?

@@MidgetPally521 -- Yep. Caught-up on Campaign two, and wanted to revisit Campaign one. I'm split. I like some things about the Mighty Nein's campaign more than the first, but I like the characters -- mostly -- better in Vox Machina. I love Grog's wizarding prowess. :) For example. But I like Jester much more than Vex. Vax over Caleb. Split on Scanlon vs Nott. I miss Percy, not a fan of Molly *or* Caduceus. Split on Pike vs Yasha. Fjord's Barbarian-ness, or the lack thereof, is entertaining. I feel a little resentful of Blindspot because of the interference with developing Yasha more. Pike had time to develop before they hit Twitch/KZfaq . . . Yasha, not as much. She doesn't feel 'lived-in' as a character yet. Heh heh. Long, needless answer for a simple 'Hey'. :D One of those days.

Ooh, is that double roasted sorceror I smell??

I was hoping for that to happen.

Grog has quite the excellent memory and it could be reasoned that some magic actually did rub off on him from when he was the phylactery of a lich.

Matt didn't ask him to roll without a reason, from a meta perspective.. It makes sense that something absolutely crazy would happen. Love Grog's dabbling in the arcane arts btw :)

Shining Reflection I think it would have been funny if he did roll a nat 20 and Matt was just like, "You have a sudden burst of arcane insight, peering past the veil of mortality. You can do this, you were born for this - Grog the Enchanter. You concentrate with all your might and will the body of your enemy to rise and do your bidding, and... nothing happens, because you didn't prepare any spells today. And also because you're not a caster."

Wedge Skyrocket amazing ^^

Grog would be the Jock. Percy would be the Brain. And Vax for the basket case? Or Scanlon?

bigboydrew706 the whistling was honestly one of the best parts of the episode for me- bridge on the River Kwai

I read this and I was so caught off guard that I just immediately started busting out laughing. Thank u

When he's necromancin', everyone's dancin'

So has the universe... Only the oldest of Eldritch horrors claim to know the truth, they say it was either blond, brown or black. Okay maybe the horrors don't know

@@505DGuy That's because Taliesin is the eldest Eldritch horror to exist, and his hair exists in a constant state of change.

That’s hilarious. When I saw his hair in the beginning of this episode, I thought the exact same thing.

brown
