We used to think Vax's catchphrase was "Dagger, Dagger, Dagger" but now we all know it's "And I walk away."

"I'm a collector of specifics, I see you've given none" oh percy

Liam: "Can we go on break so Talesin and I can just go make out in the other room?" Matt: "We don't go on break for that..."

Scanlan: "You remember what Pike looks like?" Elowen Brist: "Yeah, about your size, light-ish hair..." Scanlan: "Hair the color of the sunset; eyes like waves that crash in the night; breasts supple, firm-" Grog, interrupting: "Okay, uh, Scanlan, uh, Scanlan-" Ashley Johnson: "True, true, true."

I've been thinking this for awhile, but I kinda find it funny that once Percy got rid of demon, Taliesin hasn't rolled as many nat 20s.

There needs to be a new Dagger Dagger Dagger shirt with "And I walk away..." on the back of it.

"Do you know what nineteen means?" - Vax "Aint it like a French dish?" - Grogg I just love how Travis can improv Grogg's 6 Intelligence :)

You know it's a funny joke when Liam leans alllllllll the way back until you can't see him anymore. Dude must have abs of steel geez

"Transmutation is the veganism of necromancy" Best line of the episode.

Liam's reaction to Pike's insight check on Vax was gold. His whole face went "oh no now I have to have a mum talk I'm gonna look like an ass" it's beautiful.

Scanlan: Do we need to piss on the obelisk? Vax and Percy, in unison, without even thinking about it: You should piss on the obelisk

Sam: "I'm hiding in a tree" Taliesin: "There's no-" Matt: "There's no-" Laura: "There's no-"

Scanlan: *Jokes about being leader* VM: *Looks to Scanlan when they meet Cornelius as if he's a leader* Scanlan: *is the leader*

That manic laugh that Ashley gives when she gets the Gauntlets is both adorable and slightly terrifying

1:26:50 Scanlan "and there's a little statue of Sarenrae, and if you pull it, a little secret door opens to my room. But it's a small door that only a gnome could fit through." Pike "Oh, great! Is there a lock on that, maybe?" OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo, Pike is so savage!

“I didn’t do it, he wanted to travel the world!” *A WORLD THAT YOU CONTROL. YOU DID THIS, MERCER. **_YOU DID THIS._*

" I wonder which child in the crowd is about to become robin?" Best quote ever Percy.

Fucking Sam had me in tears when he started screaming after getting shot by Vex. I love the group as a whole but my heart sinks whenever he misses an episode, as he brings so much to the interactions of the group.

Vax and keyleth entertaining a refugee kid is my favourite moment.

I think Percy's secret Whitestone repopulation project is going well!

Liam: "D E A R, C A S S, how are you?" Taliesin & Liam: "I'm fine." Laura: "WTF?" Taliesin: "And everybody else is, too. You are a Nerd."

Every interaction with Travis/Grog and Ashley/Pike is the light of my life. He loves his little buudddddyyyy!

Liam’s tombstone will read: “...and I walk away.”

It's difficult sometimes for me to remember that Laura and Liam are not ACTUALLY Brother and Sister.

I love how Laura says "buddy" when she feels bad for someone.

"See? You start arguing and you just make a gnome. This is what happens!"

I love how Liam is almost always in character. Giving Keyleth longing looks while she is casting spells or just talking to others, even him admiring her sky drawings. There is so much non-verbal cues and it is beautiful.

6:04 “Oh I thought this was scripted” Matt’s defeated laughter “I wish you f*(ks would follow a script”

"Pay attention..." Just like that t-shirt: "When the DM smiles, it's already too late."

Matt acting as a little kid is probably the cutest thing I've ever seen? His voice when he said "this many" had me audibly "awww"ing at five in the morning.

Vex: "I know that she's not a force for evil. Neither are funeral homes. I dont want to bed down in one." 1:31:37 Caduces is typing...

Grog is basically the hound from game of thrones: history of violence and pain from a family member. Loves drinking (ale) eating (chicken) and fighting. Has an unlikely friendship with a small badass girl.

Wyrmwood really missed out on the opportunity to call it the Box Machina.

When you have advantage and roll two natural 1's...that's called sadvantage.

1:38:46 I find it's the little things that Matt does that make me laugh harder, like the arrow sound effect slowing down when Laura corrects her attack roll.

“She hates Orcus!” Vex, *everyone* hates Orcus. Hating Orcus is like the second requirement for existing in DnD.

I love how Vex did so much research to turn Vax's perspective around for the raven queen ; v ; it was like, the only thing she could do for him and it was so sweet.

"See, you start arguing and you make a gnome. This is what happens"- Percy Fully explains Pikes and Grogs whole relationship

Mustang: Its a terrible day for rain Grog, an intellectual: ITS RAINING!

Those natural 1's for Vex's broom flying are such perfect Karma

Grog (Travis) "Do you need a 'hand' getting back to camp.." to the map maker (Who lost an arm). Everyone "Aw man, not cool!" Vex (Laura) "HAHahahaHAHAHah!" And that's why their married!

Okay, this might be small, but when Laura hits her tooth on her cup and says "Ow!" Travis' attention is immediately on her and he doesn't continue until she says she is okay. Honestly, relationship goals.

Another gem @ 1:35:55 "Scanlan is helping me find a room apparently so soundproof that we don't actually have to hear anyone else's drama"

For anyone who didn't watch live what Liam said just before it started was "Cunty-butts". I feel like people should know this.

Ashley's "true, true, true" is my favorite part of this episode.

Liam and Taliesin's musical theatre nerd moment was so precious. I felt in it my theatre kid soul.

The episode where the crew mislabeled the decaf coffee, absolutely sabotaging Marisha and Taliesin

1:34:05 Laura: "And I walk away." perfect ending to that moment. 😂

I love how Vax started this agnostic, and now he is the champion of the god of death

Sam: “I hide in a tree...” Matt: “There is no...” Sam: “hehehe” Matt: “MMMMMmmmm...” I love these little interactions

It's funny that Scanlon said that Pike's room was covered in yellow rose petals, because yellow roses symbolize friendship rather than love. XD

Oh god. If a little puddle of blood is left where the door was when the mansion disappears, that implies that other bodily fluids left in there would also appear outside. 😶

*(SPOILERS)* 1:30:00 Vex reading Vax the terms and conditions of paladinship to the Raven Queen

Vex telling Vax about the Raven Queen actually comforted me back when I first watched this.

"Also you might get eaten alive, burned, shot, stabbed, pulled apart, maimed, lacerated... but that's just in the morning." -Grog

"It's the veganism of necromancy" -Savage Percy

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the creativity behind Sam's inspiration songs? I did improv for years and even then, improvising songs is fuggin HARD. And he just does it, every time, out of nowhere. It's amazing

"Take a walk, save a Horse."

I don't know if they read old comments, but they really need to call the preserving bag the Bag of Colding.

Spoiler: When Scanlan took an arrow to the neck, I almost died laughing. The screaming. Oh, the screaming.

*Pike puts on the Gauntlets* "GRAAAR, SUPERCLERIC!!!"

When Vax decided to leave the cartographer as stone, I thought he was knowingly trying to fulfill the will of the Raven Queen - allowing and not intervening the process of death. But apparently, Liam just forgot that they could be unpetrified 😂 could have been a nice opportunity, but it's all good

Every time Pike shows up everyone is so happy to see her. But Travis and Laura are just so happy it's heartwarming. When Grog gives her the gauntlets of oger strength, that was an awesome moment and really cool of him to do. I wish she was here more often as I am sure everyone does. But luckily as an actor she is blessed to be on a TV show as well.

*Wife on death bed* "Please stay by my side, my love" I walk away

"Don't look in there with a black light." Sam is hilarious.

Years later I realize Sam waited until marisha started taking a drink of her coffee when he made the blind sight joke.

At first I thought Vax was being a bit of a dick about not wanting to help the map maker. Then I remembered that he's a servant of the Raven Queen now... I wonder if depetrification is considered bringing someone back to life.

"I know when that Poop Phone glows, that could only be one gnome." Easily one of the best versions of that song ever heard

I literally died when liam said fear is the mind killer. Frank Herbert made me love reading and it makes me so happy that Liam shares that love.

love it when Ashley comes in, but watching s03, its so much nicer seeing her feeling free to act out knowing she is going to be around to deal with any fall out.

"We've seen shit, we've done shit and we can do shit" Excellent quote.

Percy "It's the veganism of necromancy, it's kind of dull." PERFECT T-SHIRT!

Simon: proof that Liam's characters have always used their magical pets to cheer kids up

Grog @ 3:13:14 telling Tyriok, "Also eaten alive, burned, shot, stabbed, pulled apart, maimed, lacerated... but that's just in the mornings." did not get the appreciation it deserves

I love Vax's/Liam's new attitude towards the Raven Queen. Of course, we've seen how naïve Vax can be when it comes to magic and religion, and seeing him be so "disrespecrful" to a powerful god that is responsible for the death and resurrection of his sister is amazingly halarious to watch and brilliant (in my opinion) on Liam's part.

01:14:16 "IT'S RAINING!"I am literally in tears. Cuz that episode of FMA didn't partially ruin my life

45:12 ♥️ When Liam asked to step-out to make-out with Talesin and Matt suggests they just change seats. I love these awesome nerds! These are my people!

Synopsis at 7:04; game begins at 8:32. Break arrives at 2:01:01 and runs until 2:13:48. Game wraps at 3:22:43. [I've been doing this for every episode. If you find them useful, or think others might, please comment so they stay near the top where people can find them. Thank you.]

I just love Pike. Ashley Johnson always, ALWAYS makes me laugh and her relationship with Grog is just played phenomenally by both.

This has to be one of the most quotable episodes and i am only an hour in. "you start arguing and you make a gnome"

Vex: *Rolls for Attack* "30!" Matt: *Arrow Noise* BRRRRRRR! Vex: Oh no wait, 28! Matt: BUHD-D-D-D! LOL

"We'll give you a weapon" Grog hands the mapmaker a two-handed sword.

Grog: It's raining. Reminds me of Roy Mustang.

Damn, that scene between twins had me in tears. Liam and Laura play so well together

This episode perfectly sums up why Critical Role is absolutely fantastic: we got super deep, poignant and emotional roleplay with Vax&Vex discussion about the Raven Queen, and goofy, hilarious, pure gold comedy with the chicken archery scene. Gosh, I love this show so much.

1:19:30 I like how when asked about the weather Matt even looks up as if he’s checking the weather irl

I can’t be the only one who thought of The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe when they got caught in a perpetually winter forest with a garden of stone statues that were once living beings.

Whenever Ashley gets to level 13 she can help that guy out with a Regenerate spell

Liam and Taliesin connecting over Secret Garden made me so incredibly happy.

poor Tyriok. The arm is one thing, but all of his maps, his life's work. I'm surprised that just didn't destroy him

I make a comment on a Critical Role video. I walk away.

I know this is old, but I just realized that a big reason why the party is going up against the Chroma Conclave is because someone gave Matt all those huge dragon miniatures for Critmas. If true, it's kind of amazing how much the community can influence the show.

I'm so glad Matt did a live retcon on the blindsight.

I like how Liam, Laura, and Taliesin all said Scanlan should piss on the obelisk at the same time lol

Matt playing out Simon was actually the cutest damn thing I've seen in my life oh my gosh.

2:35:00 Kinda bullshit that a blindsight scorpion still has disadvantage when blindsight literally only affects things that impair vision. Meaning darkness and blindness. But thankfully he retconned it.

"Save a horse take a walk" love that line. They should put that on a Vox Machina shirt.

1:35:00 Wait... Percy can bring in materials and craft something... then anything left inside is ejected at the time the spell runs out. So... they could sneak into a place and set up the door... then he builds some sort of large acid / fire / gunpowder based thing... then they just exit and sneak out of the place... then eventually the mansion spell vanishes and surprise deployment. I guess that is a little complicated... so they might do it.
