Sam just has a glass of red wine this time, no flask. Any moments I missed? Feel free to post them here. Is it Thursday yet?

It takes a special kind of man to be the flower girl at your wife's pretend wedding

Scanlan didn't have a present, so he broke the designs of the gods and the veil between life and death. As one does.

"Oh, you're watching the Vox Machina Campaign right now? Which arc are you at?" "I don't know, they're fighting those Briarwood guys right now." "Do you have the slightest idea of how little that narrows it down?"

I think Matt underestimates our willingness to watch Vox Machina plan a wedding for 3 hours

Me: How am I supposed to get over Vox Machina when you keep sending one shots to me. Matt Mercer: I am imperfect, as are the gods

All of Liam's side characters: Hey Vex, I'M SORRY YOUR BROTHER DIED! REMEMBER THAT?!

When they eventually get to the last series of The Legend of Vox Machina, this seriously has to be the last episode. Just imagine the last shot of Percy and Vex'ahalia kissing, as it pans up to the sun rise, a raven flying away from the cliff. And then in the background you just hear Scanlan: "Pike, I caught the bouqeut!" Grog: "Oh no you didn't!", followed by a scream, heavy impact and further ensuing chaos, as the music gently fades out, to the final end credits.

I want a one shot of Grog interacting with the De Rolo children. Everyone plays one of the kids and and Grog tries keep them alive.

"My station requires that I maintain a certain level of a plumage at all times" I forgot how much I missed Grog.

This episode is a "let's see how well Matt remembers the accents of the dozens of NPCs he made across a near decade long campaign after leaving it for three years," test. What a champion.

Percy, during the Underdark arc, to Vax: Screw you! I want my final words with you to be indignant and irritated! Percy's final words to Vax: Talk to her, idiot.

Still sobbing at the fact that Grog wanted to be the flower girl because the last thing Vax did was grow snow drops for them as he walked away ;-;.

Laura - "I am in a wedding dress. Don't kill me when I am in a wedding dress." Matt - "Well Vex hasn't got in the dress yet." Laura, with fury in her eyes. - "I AM!"

“I leave an empty seat for Vax” - Almost enough to make you cry Scanlan using his last wish to let Vax speak at the wedding - *sobbing*

It's incredibly poetic that Vex ended up becoming the literal light that helped finish burning away one of the biggest sources of Percy's insecurity and trauma.

Man, that one dude they sent away to find 25 casks of ale for Grog really dodged a bullet there. He must have come back with the ale like that one dude with the pizzas and the room is on fire.

I love how Liam's character has tripplet girls because in the campaign that he runs for his daughter and her friends they play as tripplets. :)

Matt: "would you like to begin the rehearsal?" Every player *gets PTSD from own wedding and anxiety and freezes up*

Sam: It had everything that weddings should have, vampires, drowning, poison... Taliesin: Light bondage

Matt: I want everyone to make a con saving throw Everyone: 15, 10, 9, 14, 18 Grog: *32*

How to challenge a level 20 party: Step 1: Reduce most of them to 1hp immediately before combat. Step 2: Separate the party. Step 3: Be Matt Mercer and tug at the world's heartstrings.

"Vox Machina kinda just forgot about Sylas Briarwood."

my head canon for derrig is that there wasn't any politics involved, he was the one who pushed for keyleth having a bodyguard and he volunteered himself. this is because he is a die-hard fan of scanlan and so he wanted to meet and talk to his idol.

They missed an opportunity to make Trinket the ring bear-er.

"The DeRolo wedding? Ah yes. The bride was quite radiant."

Travis' wine glass has beer in it. More proof that Grog plays Travis

Scanlan: *is literally the Chosen of Ioun herself* also Scanlan: praise Serenrae!!!

29:25 When Vex mentions that her dad is here but she doesn't want him to walk her down the aisle, and Liam looks like he's going to cry because VAX CAN'T BE HERE FOR HER

"How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?!" Attacking a party of level 20 characters (especially a stressed Archdruid wedding planner) sure wasn't very... *bright* .

"You're gonna watch us do 3 hours of wedding planning" yes but this is Vox Machina. Someone's getting stabbed

The dice absolutely playing into the story by giving Trinket multiple crits cuz he worried his mama gone.....priceless

You know, I thought Vex would be better at holding her breath underwater after the whole "I thought he'd never leave," moment...

Am I the only one that NEEDS to see Caduceus meet Suntree?

M9: goes on an epic quest to get a little bit of mythriel Vox Machina: mythriel utensils!!!!!!!!!

Keyleth as the friendzilla at the wedding is something I didn't expect going into it but fits so perfectly I'm crying lol

Spoilers Vex and Percy: Thrown of cliff Keyleth: It's okay, they're gods

Scanlan is the friend who no one takes serious, but when you are on your last leg he puts everything into picking you up. Sam does such a great job between switch from goofy Scan to serious Scan.

and thus does the continent of Tal'Dorei gain a new ballad. "The Bard's Last Wish"

I feel like the beauty of the final scene with Vax overshadows the genuinely horrifying image of Percy watching his true love drown knowing he can do nothing to prevent it. And then having to leave her knowing their only chance is if he gets up to the surface to scream bloody murder for help. Genuinely blood chilling! The angst!!

Vex: I'm at a wedding rehearsal, I didn't have my bow Percy: I definitely had my pistol, bullets and gun powder with me and the fact that it was just submerged in water means nothing.

Poor Liam, every Vox Machina one shot he's gotta cook up a new character that belongs near enough to this group to be wrapped up in their shenanigans, and he gets far less of the nostalgia boost that all of the others playing their characters get. That said, he absolutely crushes it with the character ideas. I love them so much.

Vex’s absolutely enraged “SYLAS!” was a great callback to when Percy yelled it in the exact same tone and volume during the briarwoods arc

Me when this came out: Derrig is cool Me now: *squints suspiciously at fighter with sword and shield and leather armor with a tattoo motif on his arm of something that shines in the sky and works for Keyleth* Liam, whatcha doing there buddy

4:08:24 Is nobody going to talk about the fact that Taliesin referred to being completely chained up and tossed into the ocean as... "light bondage?"

"Tary had BETTER make it." >Sam, sweating profusely because he only brought one character sheet

Can we all agree that grog tasted the poison in the wine when he said he detected hints of volcanic rock. Hell he said he was testing the food for poison too.

i love the callback vex made when she roared "SYLAS" just like percy

1:23:09 Matt: "You actually don't know, because you rolled terrible perception." Derrig: ... Orym: "Never again!"

The fact that (bc this is a strech goal episode) they did not put any sponsor ads or any in video google ads (which are not problem btw, as long as you keep your show going) is surely a great act of showing thanks to fans and one of the most humble and ungreedy acts you can see in KZfaq. Noble souls, you are.

In old tradition the groom would set aside his sword for the day of his wedding and put it into the hands of the man he trusted. Trusted not only with his own life, but with the life of the woman he loved. By taking the grooms blade the best man accepted the duty of safe guarding the happy couple, and was sworn to lay down his in the defense of this new union.....so actually Keyleth this is exactly what best men are for.

"You told me to take off the mask." That hits so hard after seeing that scene in the animated show and everything associated with it.

I love how Derrig said "i know he wishes he could be here" about Vax, and then Scanlan wishes that Vax could be here for the wedding.

2:27:30 I mean I know it's terrible but I kind of find it poetic that Vex died in the water after falling from a cliff, and that it's Keyleth who finds her. Given the fact that Vex was the one who found Keyleth after the Keyfish incident

“Know that when I die, you’ll bore me” AN FING POWER MOVE

I can’t tell if Keyleth’s anxiety towards the wedding planning is just Marisha’s PTSD from planning her wedding 😂😂😂

I want to see Scanlan’s gift scene animated in TLVM because oh my god, that’s going to hit different.

If someone told me three months ago "Yo, you're gonna cry over voice actors dressed in feathers and antlers as they pretend to have a wedding in a table top game..." I can never make fun of people crying over soap opera's or K-dramas ever again.

2:23:08 - Even two Death Saving Throws in, dressed to the nines, beautifully and regally as Lady of Whitestone, on the night before her wedding, no weapons, no equipment, with help just out of range... Laura Muthafuckin' Bailey still takes a moment to laugh at, "shifting bulges in the water." And this is why we love her, now and forever.

this is the perfect vox machina wedding. just after a huge fight, everyone is beaten and battered wielding weapons, the bride died but got better, no one was prepared for it, and they casually cast a 9th level spell because one of them forgot to buy a present.

48:53 Grog casually eating flower petals when no one is watching. he is the best Grand Poobah of Flowers and De Doinks.

Now the only enemy left of Vox Machina is the cliff

I like to think Vex was still in a state of an afterglow from the Blessing of the Dawnfather, with small ripples of light glimmering on her skin as if sun under the water, making her and Vax's meeting an almost literal between light and shadow.

SPOILER, This one-shot could be watched by someone with no context of Vox Machina and it'd still make them sob. The story is amazing, the players are exceptional, the villain is a broken grieved man, the freakin bride is dead (a bit), and the last half-hour is some of the most moving TTRPG ever. This is a game, and they turn it into a real story. Nerdy ass voice actors huzzah.

When Tal managed to think of second wind and climb up the 30 feet he could barely make and just scream for help... I just wanted to hold him. You did all you could do. More than I thought could be done. Fucking bravo.

Sam is being forever punished for Scanman leaving by constantly having to play 2 characters

(Vax enters and the music plays) Me: I won’t cry. I won’t cry. I won’t cry. Me: (cries)

I was looking trough the comments and could not find anyone adress how amazing Tarys speech was. You can really see Sams charisma behind it. Making it emotional, personal and poetic and a little funny in a perfect mix. I love it

Kima: "You gonna make an honest woman outta this one?" Percy: "Well, there's nothing that can be done about that, but..." Taliesin forever with the razor sharp wit. By the Gods I miss these characters so much XD

I never thought I'd cry watching a podcast where a man is wearing what Travis is wearing.

Fenthras not a bad name Grogs first child if he ever has one: exalted titan stone knuckles

I have this image in my head of Keyleth scolding the clouds like it’s a dog that knows it’s not supposed to get on the furniture just multiple times throughout the day

Liam O'Brien's superpower is the ability to make me sob like a child

Them all calling for Tary while Sam looks pleasantly incredulous is so friggin endearing. He seems so consistently surprised ppl enjoy his characters so much.

Sam finally got to use Wish to bring back his friend 😢 truly beautiful way to end the saga of Vox Machina. As much as I would like to see these old friends again, I feel like Dalens Closet is the perfect epilogue for this epic group.

Keyleth's interaction with the wedding planner was so well done lmao, absolutely loved it

It was dice perfection that it cost Scanlan his last ability to cast wish in order to make that happen. His last wish. And it was what he wanted all along 💜

I love how Liam's character has the job that he'd wanted Vax to have post-campaign. Much sadness.

I love how Vex ended up killing both Briarwoods, sparing Percy from having to.

“You are toying with the designs of the gods I see… old friend..” “….. but I didn’t have a present…”

Derrig is just Liam. Nothing more, nothing less.

Most underrated comment ever. Travis: "I look like a New Orleans funeral director."

*How the hell is Matt so good at making those writing sounds?!*

"Doty 4.0 had a little problem it tried to kill us all." Sams robot characters have murderous tendencies.

Every single character Liam has played that meets vox machina has a connection to Vax, and it is murdering me

Minor spoilers: For those of you wondering whyy Liam seems so confused - He was not expecting to play Vax again, so pretty much the moment Matt makes it known the wish succeeded, he was getting into character, you can actually see his face change and the fact that he doesn't break character (no matter what Laura says). He was getting back into the voice and mind space of Vax and was only half paying attention to Matt and the others.

Every single character got to shine in this, in such an amazing way. This was the perfect session. Percy's quick thinking got his friends to find them before it was too late. Vex landed the final HDYWTDT. Pike's Spiritual Weapon was the best fucking use of that spell *ever.* Keyleth terrifying the enemy with her sunbeam spell, and just killing it as a level 20 druid in general. Grog completely pinning the enemy down, singlehandedly keeping them from getting away while poisoned. And of course Scanlan, with the most touching use of Wish of all time. And you can tell he still doesn't feel it's enough, after he couldn't use it in time to save Vax. I cant come up with a sentence strong enough to describe how great this session was. Bravo everyone. And of course, bravo Matt for bringing Sylas back at such a perfect time.

"I polymorph myself into a tryceratops to walk her down the aisle." "I cast wish to bring her dead twin here so she can speak with him." "I shoot a bunch of lightning bolts out of my dick." ... H- how is this the same person. This is like ten in-game minutes. Who is this man. What even is Sam Riegel.

keyleth, voice of the tempest, is so fixated on this day being perfect for her friends that she stars _rearranging the clouds_

Psst. Because Pike married them; they have an AC bonus for a week. Okay bye

Grog started grasping at the spots in his vision after seeing Vex all shiny and nobody caught it. I love Travis.

TO THE CRITTER I SAT NEXT TO FROM LAX to DFW: thank you for the recommendation and you were right, I cried! Love this show and this community so much. You were my first in-person critter sighting and I’ll cherish our conversation forever!!!

Liam (as Derrig): I know that he (Vax), he would Wish he could be here. And I'm sorry as well. Laura (as Vex): Well, we WISH he was here as well. Sam (as the boss-ass sumbitch that he is): I'm about to end these people's whole career.

Me: *is hetero*. Liam O'Brien on a suit with shirt unbuttoned: ... Me: *was*

I have watched this so many times, and I’ve never noticed that the dollar that Ashley tucks into Travis’ outfit started at Sam and worked around the table. I can’t stop watching it now

Watching back Derrig talking about his Triplets and the youngest son knowing what we know now oh my god

*SPOILER* Technically, per the wording of Scanlan's wish, if at some point Velora Vessar gets married, Vax could return and say a few words there too. "I wish that Vax-ildan can say a few words at his sister's wedding." Half-sisters are still sisters!

"I had a hole in my heart, and I think the only reason I didnt perish was because you were holding my heart so tightly" OMFG IM CRYING SO HARD

3:40:16 I love how Matt just... sits back. He enjoys the fruits of his labor. His group of friends have a nice quiet little sendoff now, for their characters. And he just gets to enjoy it.

Sam mastered the wedding speech: Come off as an asshole not taking it seriously, then segue into an actual amazing choice of words
