Sam’s flask says “Welcome to Xhorhaus. Leave your warlock powers at the door” Any moments I missed? Feel free to post them here. Is it Thursday yet?

Beau: *invites Essik in to the house twice with determination* Essik: no thanks. Caleb: *flexes his magic* Essik: Cool, could I come in? Beau: *they ask you how you are, and you just have to say that you're fine, when you're not really fine, but you just can't get into it because they would never understand*

Travis: “ can you walk in a room and detect where people had sex?” Taliesin: “Me or Clay?” I love you taliesin

I legit love that halfling so much....after all the trauma of losing his wife, being a pawn for the Empire, being kidnapped and interrogated by the Dynasty, finding out his wife is alive but now a goblin....and the enthusiasm of "omg my wife is an adventurer isn't she the coolest?!!!"

Absolutely love how they just became Xhorhas' Addams Family

Caduceus knows that the most Goth thing to do in a city of permanent night, is to put up sunlight bulbs.

Matt: * gives a price for something * The Mighty Nein: * five stages of grief *

I truly love Laura’s “fuck you guys” “ oh but not you Ashley”

I love how Laura went from playing a beast master ranger to someone you should never trust with a pet

Xhorhouse, in the middle of our street, Xhorhouse, it’s the one with the big tree, Xhorhouse, with a spa for you and me, Xhorhouse, it’s our home in dnd, Xhorhouse, so much fun it can’t be beat, Xhorhouse, just make sure to wipe your feet

I love Liam playing dnd like he's a Bioware game protagonist- get back to base after a mission and go around to each companion to see if any new dialogue has opened up.

Jester: Let's put a hole in the wall. Everyone: We shouldn't deface the house. Cadeuces: *grows a giant tree on the house* Everyone: Woah neat!

*Matt, to Liam:* Make a persuasion check to see if Essek would teach you some spells *Liam, thinking he's failed the check:* 12 :( *Matt, checking his notes that the DC was -5:* No he'll still teach you some spells

This was a Xhorhaus, but we made it a Xhorhome.

people in the comments really saying ashley might as well not be here bc she "clearly doesnt care" when she literally almost cried when jester painted wildflowers in yasha's room yasha doesnt talk much, so ashley doesnt talk much. but shes clearly delighted to be there and fascinated by whats happening and invested in her character in the story yall buzz off

All of Liams one on one convos are just him flexing his side profile

1000% "Tales of Ba Sing Se" episode for the mighty nein, each with their own short.

Beau: does anyone know if they have a back entrance? Jester: The goblin or the...? Beau: the apoth... What? Jester: What?

Cad: are we going to put down roots here? Everyone: idk ig Cad: ok cool *literally sows massive roots through the house*

"Just a 12." "Just a twelve?" "Just a twelve." When you really want your players to learn or succeed on something.

Liam's entire posture changes every time Essek's name is mentioned. It's adorable. At this point I can't tell if Caleb is crushing hard on Essek, or if Liam is.

Mighty Nein. On one hand: INTENSE POLITICAL INTRIGUE SPANNING NATIONS! On the other hand... GARDENING. I love it. I love it so much.

Cad "I think I'm going to put down roots" best stealth pun of all time

I love how Fjord is now the designated "Bone this NPC so we can find secrets" Character

There is a reason we refer to Essek as "Hot Boi". It's partly his description, and partly Matt's facial expressions and body language when he's playing him. It's hot.

Matt: I give you a house. Party: let’s paint all of the walls, grow a 60foot tree on the roof, install daylight Christmas lights in this city of perpetual night and built a spa in the basement.

Everyone: *deciding on rooms and checking for bugs* Caduceus: vibe check

Caleb and Beau: we need to take the solctrice academy down, we need to thing about this. Meanwhile. Cadeucus and Jester: I'm gonna put my spa, right here.

Honestly I would listen to HOURS of MN being the weird neighbours and how they all react, and how all the NEIGHBOURS react.

It just occurred to me that the M.N have been in the dynasty for about 3 ish weeks. In that time they have stopped 2 fiendish invasions, befriended giants, made powerful allies at the top of a government, be given a large house, altered and renovated said house and grounds immediately, created an almost self sustaining ecosystem, created permanent non harmful daylight in a city of perpetual night, uncovered multiple layers of evil or dubious plots, and just in general have thrown a massive monkey wrench into the power dynamics of two empires. Lol if nothing else they are a proactive group

fjord: i dont think we want to deface the house that's a gift, right? caduceous: grows a 60ft tree in the house

The amount of fun that Marisha and Travis have with their Hostess Beau bits is so infectious.

Essek is SO funny in this episode. "It's not one of the big three [dens]?" "No... Thelyss is, though." KING!! I LOVE THIS FANCY WIZARD.

Sprinkles is a level 6 Weasel Rogue at this point.

"Matt, Laura's in my room. Laura's in my room!" Oh, I can tell this is going to be a good one.

The level of excitement from the entire cast when Caleb is being taught spells is adorable. They are ALL there to see him get stronger.

I think most people missed it because they were only mouthing the words, but when Laura and Tal nearly fall out of their chairs laughing at 1:24:30, it’s because Sam tells them, as Nott: “I would peg (Caleb) so hard” 🤣🤣🤣

I've come to realize the Mighty Nein are the neighbors who never takes down the Christmas decorations in a town made solely of Grinches.

Just think, this all started with some people going to a circus

I like this pattern of Matt's wizards flirting with Liam's characters. I hope this continues across campaigns

"We have a master chemist in the group and down time. Should we do healing potions for eternity? Nah, we are good."

They took Daylight, a sacred component of Xhorhas faith, and turned it into christmas lights. No wonder the neighbours are jealous.

"Its just flirting until the spellbooks touches." Caleb the master flirter.

"Caleb transcribes teleportation into his spell book." The bottom row: *golf clap*

I like how they were in the house not more then 5 minutes and caduceus’ first thought was “I wanna tree....” And then just pulled a Minecraft and grew a tree on top of their house.... also on top of that basically filled it with firefly jars to keep it alive... I mean I’d do the same, if I could, but hell.... 5 minutes that’s impressive!

FJORD: Did you push the clocks out of the way? CADUCEUS: There's no clocks. FJORD: Are you sure?? CADUCEUS: They've been pre-pushed, all the way out of the way, out of the house.

The first created magical item of the campaign: Lightbulbs.

"Will it be like that...all the time?" "Pretty sure that's how trees work." Never change travis. Never change.

Beau: Are you in love with Nott? Caleb: No Beau: Are you sure? Caleb: Very sure Sam is visibly upset...

No one: Absolutely no one: NOT A SINGLE SOUL IN THE WORLD: Caduceus Clay: *Grows a 60 foot tall tree inside newly acquired house*

Sam's dnd beyond ads are slowly turning into ones from Welcome to Night Vale where you aren't quite sure what the ad is for until the name pops up

sam, in this episode: 1000g? is yasha that important? sam, in an earlier episode: yeah i'll cover 1000g bail cost for a dude who doesnt even want out of jail.

Everybody jokes about how awkward Fjord is when flirting with characters, but y’all forget how friggin FIRE his courtship with Abantika was. Their chemistry was FIRE. watching it back it’s so intense I forget I’m watching Matt and Travis.

Matt Mercer: puts a famous, ruthless mercenary company with Chain in its name and a recently lost leader in the campaign Matt Colville: introduces a handful of identical owners of a shop called the Permanent Transient all named Sumat Pol claiming there’s only one real one This community is lovely

"Don't micromanage my husband." Travis bursts into laughter.

I like to think at 44:15 when Caduses says "I have an idea, watch this." He just walks out the room and disappears to the shops for a couple hours

Yasha being very forward with Essek then backpedaling so hard was great

For those wondering about the Astrid letter: 1) The sender of the original letter was "Nott & Brave Law Firm" 2) The recipient of the response letter was for "Mrs. Levoire Esquire" at the Pillow Trove 3) The original letter revolved around an inheritance from a deceased uncle and needing the last reported location of Astrid for contact reasons 4) They are now fucked lmao

Taliesin laughing till his cheeks hurt and just loosing his shit in general will always give me more reasons to live

Liam's face when Matt says Essek will teach Caleb dunamantic magic was just priceless.

Sam's face when Caleb says, "no, very sure" to not being in love with Nott is wonderful!!

I want a spin-off show that's just cad tending to his garden and interacting with the locals

Travis: *Can you walk into a room and tell who had sex in it?* Talesin: *Me or Clay?* I choked on coffee lmao

laura and taliesin's cute little faces when they're proposing the hot tub idea to matt just makes me chuckle

2 things I love that really stood out in this episode: 1.) Caleb's version of a fade to black moment is a powerful wizard saying "let me teach you a few things" and gaining new spells. 2.) The wonderfully charming Marisha Ray being so damn good at roleplaying that Beau genuinely seems incapable of being charming

the found family vibes are PALPABLE and HEALING and NOURISHING

Sprinkles - Status: *Slightly feral*

I'd like to congratulate the Mighty Nein on their first stealth mission that didn't end in a fight or being found out.

Matt's almost inaudible “love you” after he announces Marisha's birthday.

Episode 31: Shopping, settling into Zadash, shenanigans Episode 62: Shopping, Xhorhass home renovation, shenanigans Seems to be a running theme after a number of episodes

Real reason for Fjords double accents. He can't do a Texas drawl real well when whispering.

1:19:51 Caleb: "I want the Cerberus assembly to burn-" Travis: i am Seeing 👁 👁

3:12:12 marisha and sam desperately trying to find hints to what could possibly be a life threatening event leading to the opening of another portal to literal hell ashley, travis, liam, and laura: *"i just diiied in your arms toniiiight"*

Using Fjord as the decoy boy toy is my F A V O R I T E thing

Beau: *smiles* Fjord: What are you doing with your teeth?

beau: I'll look for bugs! Jester: Is there blood in the basement? Caleb: I'll detect magic! Caduceus: I'll detect magic AND Vibes! Fjord: i'll look for secret passages! Nott: What food is there in the kitchen? ... Matt: It's a house...

This is my favourite episode so far. The domestic vibes are so adorable, and the idea of a big group of friends getting to build a home together (no matter for how long) is more magical than anything else in this game. It is beautiful.

lol i just realized their horses and cart are still with that random innkeep in felderwin

"Here, human, eat this teenager" can't breathe

Sam's flask says: Welcome to Xhorhaus, leave your warlock powers at the door

I just enjoyed reading the top row shirts as one sentence The Last of Us Slay Sad Books

“Vollstrecker” means executioner in German, and by association, Zemnian. Im surprised at how in depth Matt is willing to go for immersion, and even more excited to see what this means if anything!

So, in this campaign Sam not only finally got a gun, but also found some spice. Finally fulfilled all wishes Scanlan had!

The entire spell-teaching scene between Essek and Caleb needs the ghostly image of Mark Lee in the background going "Oh, dude, he's _flirting!"_

Can't get enough: Caleb: Books. Beau: Evidence. Nott: Baubles. Caduceus: Vibes. Fjord: Balls. Yasha: AC.

Caleb: Am I...evil? Jester: What? Do I not tell you this enough? You are, like, evilest guy I know!

I just love the thought of Yasha and Caduceus growing little plants together. It's so cute and it helps build Yasha's character, which has been a bit lacking due to Ashley being absent so often. So having her do downtime activities and interacting with the others is a very welcome sight. 😊 Edit: Also Vollstrecker is a nice name for an assassin, the term carries weight in German.

Anyone saying Ashley doesn't seem to care to be there is the same kind of person who thinks the quiet people in your friends group don't like you and don't want to be invited to things when really they are have a good time, they're just quiet. Edit: Yasha is quiet, that's part of her character.

Essek: I don't live here. Yasha really quickly: *WHERE DO YOU LIVE?*

I like to imagine Caleb, arriving late to dinner, just barges into the dining hall & yells, “Hey, remember the Dodecahedron!? WE DON’T NEED IT ANYMORE!!!” after learning his two new spells

Rohsona: most of ppl living here feel uncomfortable with in sunlight so we built a dome of night Caduceus: I'm about to end this whole man's career with Christmas lights

Caleb: Gets to learn a couple of low-level spells. Everyone else: Loses their freaking minds...

Jester- “I could paint a hole in the wall?!?” Fjord- “We don’t want to deface the house that was gift right?” Veth- “But we could add to it!” Jester- “Yeah like I could ADD a hole in the wall.” 😂😂😂 Laura Bailey you are a gift!!

Jester painting the flower mural for Yasha....I'm not crying! YOU'RE CRYING!!! ;_;

Matt apologizing to DnD Beyond for Sam's ads is something I look forward every episode 😂😂😂

How is Laura not making any dirty jokes with her glorious idea of making a hole in the wall to Fjord???

"Abner! The new neighbors have raised a tree with lights all over it in their house!" "Sure they have, Gladys."

44:20 in-universe Clay just went "i got an idea... Watch this" and just left

It's just so very hilarious how Fjord always gets offered up as like, the meat slice of sexual offering to distract both males and females when the party wants to sneak about. Every single time it happens I cry laughing

Every episode after Ashley came back is so much better!! They all seem to enjoy each others' presence so much and are just really sweet and shit. It was interesting before, now it's heartwarming
