Narrative Telephone Ep. 1: Pumat's Stroll

Pumat Sol went for a stroll, but how did the story really go? The cast of Critical Role gives the game "telephone" a story-telling twist when Matthew Mercer tells a Wildmeount tale and passes it along to a cast member who can listen to it only once before retelling it to another... How weird can things possibly get?

Pumat Sol went for a Pumat stroll He found a wolf, and went Pumat Swole Then he ate it from his Pumat Bowl

Calyx Edmondson. During the morning, by the brook, Pumat took mushrooms, wolf meat and cooked. And with that Pumat made a hearty stew, the taste would make you go awoooo.

I think one on my favorite parts about this game was how long they kept the "lupine flavor" part, but because of how quickly they missed the part where Pumat killed the wolf in self-defense, the ending basically went from "wolf and mushroom stew" to "gourmet mushrooms that may or may not have lycanthropic properties." My other favorite, of course, is how the dialog mix-up made the wolf go from being this great, ferocious feral beast to some chill hunter-wolf dude who may or may not be a drug dealer

(instantly butchers everything) adds twist at the end Laura: So this happened, and then this happened, and then this happened. Lupine flavor? Travis: tries to add structure, but not to the point of flowery speech. Only one that was really confused with why the wolf just left? Liam: Adds mysterious voice, the wolf gave them the mushrooms that were wolf flavor (reason that it was lupine)
