Tiefling: “What was your first kill like?” My chaotic neutral goblin bard realizing his first kill was his previous boss: ._.

Augury: "Could you be bought?" Me: "I'm a Mercenary. That means I would listen very carefully to their offer and then see if you are able to beat it." Augury: "Anything anyone offers you to turn on me, I will double it" Me: "This could be the start of a beautiful friendship"

The moment she said that she didn’t want to change my morality, just determine how much it would cost to override it, I was a fan.

"You may go," she says, staring at a wall while drinking wine, as villains often do.

“You may go I have a wall to stare at” 🤣🤣🤣

Augury: You’re late My wizard: A wizard is never late nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to

Augery the Tiefling: "We agreed on sundown" Hakaan the Goliath: "The sun sets later on the treetops, I'll have to remember that to judge sundown at the trunk."

"Are you a good liar then?" My character: "I was literally raised by infernal lawyers... that answer your question?"

I might have some moral quandaries, but she seems like an interesting person to work for.

Augury: "Describe your first kill" My elf who was a brigand for over 140 years before adventuring: "uhhhhhhhhh, it's been a while"

Augury: "Refilling my wine." Me: "Why does your tone make me feel like that would require my blood?" I agree with your sentiment about her. I've watched one one-sided conversation of less than 6 minutes and I want a whole series with just her haughtily talking at people.

"And if they torture you? Will you break easily?" My squishy level 1 wizard: Well, I only have the seven hit points, so in a literal sense… probably, yes.

"What are your feelings about torture?" "Inefficient. Impractical. Doesn't do anything of consequence except make the torturer feel good. I prefer to get somebody thinking about the information with leading questions and then just pry the answers I want directly from their brain. Actually made a guy into a vegetable with that once. He's dead now, anyway. Do you want his social security number?"

"we agreed on sundown" My human ranger who was a member of a terrorist organization who has been caught up in sting operations before by arriving on time: "yeah we don't do that"

Hmmm, I wonder if Augury is offering a dental plan. I could totally compromise my morals for a decent dental plan.

From my fighter shifter female: "If you were to identify your main weaknesses, what would they be?" (looks down to the pen and paper) If you are writing it down, im partial to a pretty face. "interesting... i do like you. I find you, unique." (stammering) wait wait wait, i meant, ummm, (clears throat) i wouldn't complain.

Tell me about your first kill My Warlock: I killed a spider once. I felt kind of bad, so now I just capture them with a cup and let them out the window.

Augery: “you’ve killed before, I assume”. My necromancer: -_- “no, I just find the body’s like that.” Sarcasm by the way.

Once again, you bring a whole world of depth to a original character, with only a few minutes of one sided dialogue, and make it so that I'd want to see more of them in future works!!! If a meeting between her and Aisling is on the cards, that will be more spectacular than words could convey!! And again, your accent work is absolutely awesome!!! You made her sound like the formidable character of power and influence, that one would have to be in her profession!! Dangerous to cross, with a mind sharper than any blade, and more than a little badass!! Also, the lighting captured everything perfectly! Altogether, another masterpiece of creative genius!!

I could totally imagine my tiefling druid/rogue's "father" making her go to this interview. It's amazing and I love it.

Interviewer: You're late. We agreed on sundown, did we not? Me: I arrived 6 hours ago.

Augury: "If you were to identify your main weakness, what would they be?" Tamini, being a tiefling who's afraid of fiends, talking to a tiefling contractor: "err...having too much passion?"

Everyone talking about their character in the comments is so cool! You’re very creative, guys.

Augery: What was your first kill like? How old were you? My Aarakocra paladin: So I was about 3 years old when...

"I- lady you are staring at a wall. Are your horns screwed tight?"

My chaotic neutral tabaxi warlock during this whole thing: errr....i think ive got the wrong room...is this not the gambler's anonymous meeting?

Ginny, is that a functional quill and inkpot?? That's so freaking cool, and Augury is great. Never have I felt more menaced by a woman uncorking a bottle and quietly beginning to write down my answers to her increasingly incisive questions! This video is awesome. :D

Love the fact that this will be a series! Awesome character progression resource! Thank you!

POV: Berry Ditches her party to work for the pretty tiefling who suggested she could give her enough money to go towards her forest being replanted

“Would you consider yourself a moral person?” My Oath of the Common Man paladin who’s basically just a yandere for Robespierre-senpai: Eh....oui?

I see we drank out of our chalices at the same time, true villian potential.

Augery: Tell me about your first kill. Jade the Rogue: *framed for the actions of her serial killer ex-finacee* Why? What have you heard? WHO ARE YOUR CONTACTS? (She probably wouldn't say that. But she'd be thinking it)

"what was your first kill like?" my warlock who killed her brother in order to get her magical powers: uhhhhhhh

"We agreed on sundown" my Half Elf Druid: "Yeah sorry, I had to stop and speak to a cat I saw" Definitely not the ideal job offer for my druid but an interesting video nonetheless. Answered all the questions, but yeah feel like that job offer is gonna be rescinded

As long as she has time and access to a library, my wizard is happy to travel with such an inconspicuous crew. It'll be a nice change from the flamboyant nonsense of her current traveling companions

When was your first kill? My neutral good character raised in a chaotic evil world realizing he is a murderer: “I was uhm... six” also that was followed by an in character shouting of “and you can go back to the nine hells.”

These questions are perfect for a Vampire: The Masquerade game I'll be starting soon.

My old pc, a Tiefling rogue, who is already blindsiding her party, would go to this interview in a heartbeat. And she'd probably get the job, sneaky lil businesswoman XD

Augury: "Are you a good liar then? Can you keep a secret?" Azrael, Aasimar Assassin: (smiles) "No." *Augury rolls for Insight* *Azrael rolls +9 for Deception*

we also need to get Ginny her own Critical Role show, like ASAP!

I feel we need an NPC guide to the denizens of The "Ginny-verse" characters that can appear in a campaign and please take my money for it thank you.

I love how everyone else is rping morally conflicted characters meanwhile my vampire took augury’s villain vibes as a challenge; I straight up threatened to make her a meal if she brought dishonor to the sanguine arts

Augury: so what was your first kill. My chaotic good character who has been trying to redeem himself after being tricked into killing his parents by framing them for murdering the high prince: there have been so many I can’t recall the first (nervous sweating inside).

My character would totally take a job like this.

Ngl this helps me a lot to flesh out some "evil" minions for the big baddie of my campaign. Also tbh I love your character a lot!

This made me realize that my warforged nun (cleric of the Raven Queen), Angel, is way more amoral than I expected... Going in, I knew she was not a good person, but realizing her response to people that are off limits is "The only people I consider off limits for any negative action would be fellow servants of the Raven Queen, I consider them to be siblings, however, if they are proven to be disloyal, I would actively prefer to harm them. Otherwise, there are no restrictions on who I would do harm to when provided a proper reason." really made me realize I goofed up and made her way more evil than I intended. Oh well, that's character spice for ya!

It's so great that you've embraced this style of video, and a lot of fun to follow along! You keep being you, boo~!

"If you have a super lawful good character, this might not mesh very well" Well now I feel obligated to use my pacifist barbarian Never trust an edited comment

I answered this as my overly hammer-happy barbarian. It wasn't hard to tempt her away from the party. Just give her things to hit!!!

.... my alignment just changed.

I'm about to guest in a Humblewood campaign as a draconic bloodline sorcerer who's part of a group of NPC bounty hunters. This was INCREDIBLY useful to help me figure out what RP'ing him is like. Ginny, thank you *so much* for making these RP videos! They're so well made and so helpful.

Am I the only one who would love to see different people on full cosplay answering these in a tiktok kind of way? Will we get another Ginny character answering next? Or maybe some random people, that could be cool too. I love these series so much, as a DM I send it to all my players when they go out!

"We agreed on sundown" Me: "Oh darling, everyone is fashionably late around here. You must be new to town."

Augury: "Are you a good liar, then? Can you keep a secret?" My Neutral Good Cleric (silently): "Well, you haven't figured out I'm a double agent working to bring down your organization from the inside, so I'd say I'm doing pretty well so far."

What was your first kill like My Tiefling rogue: Well you see, I knocked over a candle and my parents couldn’t get out fast enough...

Are youvplaning on doing a back-and-forth with a character like you did with the last one? I think that would be fun. :)

Augery: when was your first kill? My warlock who left his parents home exactly two days ago: uuuuuuuh about that

Ahhhh this is so cool! My Cleric would have a heart attack right then and there after the internal monologue of "oh no! she's hot!" LOL Have you considered putting a little timer or something to indicate how long the player has to respond? I think it would be helpful in trying to determine an appropriate response!

My neutral good monk wouldn't really fit in a scenario like this in normal circunstances, so I created a little story in my head foi it to fit: Me and my party were caught in the middle of Augury's business interests (Maybe they stopped a negotiation? Found a stash of smuggled goods and delivered them to the police? Who knows), and in the heat of the battle, every single member of my party was captured. Everyone but me. I go to meet Augury in her lair, to offer my work in whatever she needs, so in exchange, she won't kill my companions.

Augury: How good at you at keeping secrets? Yangini: Lady, my existence is a secret in some circles. As you can see, I keep myself pretty well.

No one: Me: *Furiously taking notes*

Drashar Slitherscale, huge for a Dragonborn and a gold coin-coloured morale, that doesn't care much for where the money comes from. "First kills? 2 smaller people that didn't deserve it, they just made some wrong decisions. Can I be bought? They'd have to pay a pretty good sum for that, and as far as I've heard, it's barely an inconvenience for you to double it. My weakness, though? Magics, and the casters that fling it around. Sure, it can be useful to you, but I've been at the fiery end of too many times to like it. Can't trust a caster is all I'm saying." And then there's Ciron, my green boi sorcerer, that really just does what he considers right. "My first kill, you say? As far as I can recall, it was either a few goblins burned alive with magic on my very first mission, or it was in the end of that same mission, where I smothered the last one with poison gas. It was very messy, either way. And no, miss Augury, I can not be bought, unless the people paying will give me all of the mightiest artefacts on this plane. When it comes to weaknesses though, I'm not fond at all of people getting too close. I prefer to fly high above them or make their bodies stop moving. That, and wizards, are my weaknesses if you must know. Can't stand them, the majority I've met seem to think themselves better casters just because their family wasn't given favours by greater beings."

My druid would probably fit in with that job... He's good with secrets... And... is maybe a little into "torture"... My artificer would definitely not... She just wants to buy books and send them home to her wife...

"Are you a good liar then?" My birdfolk monk: I was raised by pirates, then by infernal nuns, then pirates again, I would hope so!

Ghel, my Mastermind Rogue who co-founded the gang that started with our party would really fit in, I think. He does want to know if he can bring his friends along.

Ginny this RULES. Every POV you do is so solid and excellent. I love how you're doing this to provide creative tools for roleplayers to develop their own skills, I think that's amazing. Your dialect work is always very good, too, which as a dialect coach is awesome to hear!

"What makes you thing you'd be a good addition to my guard?" Me: "I'm good at killing people"

"Could you be bought?" My assassin Halfling: You're asking me that right after asking if I'm deceptive and capable of keeping a secret. No matter what my answer is I've given you reason not to trust it.

Yay! Thanks for making these Ginny

My character is staunch LG, but even I found a use for this video. I discovered my character stutters when uncomfortable! Thanks for helping me find a neat roleplay quirk.

I like these because I can spew my tiefling bard chaos at these NPCs without having to roll initiative or fucking up a whole plan😂

I'm playing a True Neutral character for my next campaign, very different from my usual Good-oriented builds, and this is a great help!

“If someone were to bribe you, how much would it take to turn on me?” “If my word can be broken by something as trivial as money, then my word means nothing. And my word is the most valuable thing I own.” Later “And how much would it take for you to abandon your current goals and party in favor of my business.” “...”

"errands, chores, are you too good for them?" Andraste (Rogue): If you pay me not at all

Tiefling: "And are you a good liar then? Can you keep a secret?" My changeling rogue who is keeping her changeling nature secret at that moment: "I am capable of keeping secrets, yes."

Ginny reminds me of my favorite DM. I’ve used these videos to prepare for campaigns with her because she focuses quite a bit on the characters and I have to be ready for that.

All I want to say thank you for all the content. You make getting to know my character super easy

"Can you keep a secret?" My Character: Yes (quietly thinks back to the fact that her father is her warlock patron as well as a powerful devil and no one knows) "If you were to identify your main weakness, what would they be?" My Character: Well if you haven't notice the blindfold well I'm blind, so that would be one

I though a good way of doing this with a very "good" aligned character would be imagining what goofy stuff they would try to say if they, for instance, were trying to infiltrate this organization in some way! Great POV as always, loving it along with your great fashion videos!

Augury: "Your late" My Birdman: "A wizard arrives precisely when they mean to."

>“Would you consider yourself a moral person?” My Neutral Good Warlock, who banged his succubus patron to give her his firstborn child and subsequently married her: “Considering the company I tend to keep, that’s a yes. I know, it’s shocking, a warlock with a conscience, but I’d rather die a good man than live long enough to be a villain. Besides, I wanna set a better example for my daughter to look up to than what I had growing up.” >”Were you raised with this outlook or did you come to it on your own?” Warlock: “I was raised to view those...*beneath* my station as...expendable. Nonexistent. Worthless. So when my father, a Count, raised the taxes in my province to prohibitive heights, my protests and pleas that they be lowered substantially were not appreciated and I caught several different flavors of hell for championing the ‘rabble.’ And when my mother tried to falsify genealogical records to get me a spot on the Duke’s council to further my father’s agenda of exploitation, my exposing of her misdoings didn’t go over well. And before you ask, the Duke did offer me the spot in the council my family wanted as a reward, but I turned it down. “So you could say that I was taught by a combination of my family and my experiences. I’m certainly passing those lessons along to my own brood, at least. “Also, real talk; you are reminding me of my father by the way you’re phrasing these questions. Not a good way to endear me to you.” EDIT: (Adding some more responses to some of her questions!) >”Please describe your first kill.” Warlock: “Well, ‘kill’ isn’t exactly the term I’d use to describe the outcome of this particular tale...long story short, my father hired several assassins to...’remove the stain,’ as one of them put it. My wife and I put each one into a sort of suspended animation, tied each of them to separate wooden poles, dressed them up as scarecrows, and last I heard, they’re still out in some farmer’s field, watching over the peasants my father so very much ignores. Pretty sure that got the message across to Father Dearest.” >”What did you feel?” Warlock: “Regret. They had so much potential...” >”Would you say that some people deserve to die?” Warlock: “Something tells me you have a very specific person in mind as a target and are trying to make it so I’m morally compelled to carrying out their death. Good tactic, but obvious.” >”What are your feelings on torture?” Warlock: “Brutal, cruel, and unnecessary. I don’t care if you’re trying to get information out of someone, there are less morally reprehensible ways to do it than...that.” >”Is anyone off limits to you? Women, children, the innocent?” Warlock: “All of the goddamn above. ESPECIALLY children. If any of your schemes involve harming kids in any way, lady, we WILL have words. And I know of a few different farmers who are in DIRE need of new scarecrows should you refuse to reconsider.” >”What will it take? How much a week to tempt you away from your party and whatever your current objectives and bring you into the fold?” Warlock: “Hmmm, good question. How about...living JUST long enough to see you getting your dose of karma, whatever form it takes, and seeing if and how you react to your little empire crumbling down around you? Can you arrange that for me? Or is that too big an ask?”

I would 100% let Augury ruin my life

If you have a really lawful good character, like Ginny said, you could probably do some sort of undercover thing in which your character is trying to gather intel on this very shady business, just an idea :)

It's fun to answer these questions as a character who wants to be good but has no idea what that means and murders people when it's convenient but wouldn't torture someone because it doesn't make sense to her

Yay! Another one, I love these so much!!

I'm kind of obsessed that she just turned around and looked at the wall at the end XD "What makes you so special" My Bard "Well I'm a bitch of a tiefling so I think we have that in common"

"We agreed on sundown." My goliath: "It is sundown. You're just short."

AGH SO GOOD. Spot on, all the way around. I love the set and lighting! And just the lil glimpses of those teeth (which you are so good at speaking in haha!) Also, I feel like Augury's horns have a story, and I want to know what it is O.O

My pixie Flax would be down as long as he got payed in shiny things and probably bones 👀 chaotic neutral baybee

"You could have anything you wanted, you know." My decay cleric: "Could I have that urn?"

It was actually interesting to answer the questions for my neutral good (leaning towards lawful good) character :) Your character is so charismatic! I loved her ^)

I am totally filming a reaction/response to this

"What makes you so special?" Lawful good wizard: "Fireball" Roll initiative!

Ooooh this is SO GOOD! This look is also A+!!! So tempted to respond to it as my tiefling Warrior/Barbarian at some point! This style of work would be right up his alley!!

Augery: I do like you, and you bring something different Azara Bern (Blue Levistus Tiefling of conquest): *smirk* ohh? I wonder why? I have a vision, a vision of a nation made of the forgotten, troden, and weak, made stronger and more powerful than any garrison. Each like a fine crafted blade from what was initially a dull piece of iron. Augery: ohh? and where do you find them? Azara Bern: from the sides of the road from a job loss, a jail cell for rent pay evasion, a wodden box of half rotted food. Anyone, anywhere, who has been spat upon, and would indulge a second chance to live.

amazing thank you for making it

Your attention to detail always amazes me

I think as my Archfey Tomelock with these RP videos when they're released. Usually chaotic good, but his vice is an infatuation with beautiful and interesting people. His pact is to gather stories and songs for his patron, be they his own or things he's heard from others. Not too big on the torture and busy work of a servant, but I think he'd find some interesting folks and make some equally interesting stories through this job. And for him to be tortured they'd need to catch him first, or realize he was the right guy.

My lesbian elf would be BRIGHT RED right now.
