That delivery!

First time I saw that, I died. It’s just a perfect line.

@@alphabetsoup6837 Totally on brand!

Care to hear about terezi pyrope

843 PD, based on the critrole wiki timeline. Campaign 2 ended in 836, and the Darrington Brigade one shot occured in 826. Which means that in only 17 years stories of The Owlbear have traveled from the southern corner of the Dwendallian Empire in Wildmount to other continents and people such as both Ashton Greymore and Lord Eshteross have heard them.

@@jlokison I mean, you got love this. Even when is for fuckery, Matt's world is rich as always.

@@birdflip2906 if you have a copy of of Tal'dorei Reborn on page 265 is a portrait of the De Rolo family as of 832 PD. If the Bells Hells travel to Whitestone the youngest children in that picture would be in their late teens and adventure ready. Something to think about, especially with Lady Delilah Briarwoods involvement and manipulation within the Hells.

@@jlokison this campaign 3 has the potential to be both a nostalgic masterpiece and the most well planned history yet, the thies and backstory they have can come to breath taking moments (already had, by the way). I'm so excited, more so with this late calamity mini series. It's a beautiful time to be alive in the rpg industry.

R.I.P.

Nope, the most normal one was Laura Freaking Bailey

AGDHSQVSJ THAT'S,,YEAH

@@LoryK98 Liam, Travis, Marisha and Taliesin all fully thought they were going to be the 'weird one' this time around. Instead we have a party of insane people. Love it

@@blueskybelyr what I would give for this to just continue as campaign 3.

"I don't remember buying this shag carpet!" xD

Owlbear leaps, right on top of Quackthulu "Danger right behind you"

A shitpost?

Adras Adraki, posts that are “utterly worthless and inane”. Or a very stupid and ridiculous kind of meme.

lmao I love the voice Tal chose to use for this character too. It was so dramatic. It was amazing lol

He's a Batman parody in the best of ways

@@aisarikka big facts. I don’t think I’ve loved a Batman parody this much since Baman & Piderman.

lol he himself is an entire people.

@@elusivegamergirl noooo hes D&D Batman lol

@@Reblwitoutacause indeed

That's something to look forward too

Can someone roll a good perception check, please?

@@mistamemewide it's ok, I'm sure Talisen will roll a 1 on stealth again.

To quote Cyanide and Happiness, "he's the hero our city... has."

Think about it

Think about it

Think about it

Think about it

No, but honesty Think about it

Owlbear and a bunch of sidekicks

the jester, Poison Blight, Oozeface, mr. ray of frost and the puzzler

I'm calling the LoD equivalent the Sphere of Annihilation.

The Crimson Weasel

Talliesen needs to dm a game, make the others thiefs or something and as they are about to steal stuff or something he brings out the owlbear.

“Evil, like the stone, has passed.” That shit caught me off guard

@@kuroneko1813 I spat my water out on that one

It would be amazing if @criticalrole gave us a Darrington Brigade film. Humanity needs an official animated version of our boy Owlbear ASAP!

pyrosianheir He had a list of punny lines that he prepared for himself ahead of time. Seriously smart move.

His best line was OOC: when he admits that as the night goes on, he'll probably become more like Lego Batman.

It would be amazing if @criticalrole gave us a Darrington Brigade film. Humanity needs an official animated version of our boy Owlbear ASAP!

I like to think her character is hiding a split personality. Hope for episode 2!

"It should've been a goose."

I honestly laughed too

The funniest part is everyone else looking extremely surprised at that sudden outburst. Including the audience.

Which of them would be Talons?

@@GZilla311 ALL OF THEM.

@@GZilla311 *You'll never know*

Audience became twitch chat

@@oscarpines7927 Crap, you have a point.

Makes me wonder what a whole campaign of Mollymauk would have been like.

@@erinsilver3920 maybe he would have actually figured out the accent by the end, lol

Well Percy and Molly didn't take back seats. This felt like closer to those two.

@@Badusername2000 He had just gotten the accent down apparently, and then Molly died

It would be amazing if @criticalrole gave us a Darrington Brigade film. Humanity needs an official animated version of our boy Owlbear ASAP!

Yes.

...YES YES YES YES GET HIM IN ON THIS.

Tary McGinnis XD

*yes*

Bearbearian for the win.

@@jonsimpson6240 rogue-bearbarian

@@HallowedKeeper_ hell yeah.

@@HallowedKeeper_ I tried to be a rogue barbarian but my dm would not allow it

This is why Totem Warrior is the best.

I know. It's always precious.😂

right? His reactions are priceless.

He has a real love of barbarians, probably because of Grog, but he always hypes it up, hopefully we'll get another vox machina vs the mighty nein soon and get the Grog vs Yasha fight we've all been waiting for

@@jackcrook6330 and set the levels to 20 for both to get a full on brawl

@@alphabetsoup6837 That would likely end with keyleth vs. Yasha since both are basically unk8llable by normal means. Yasha literally can't die through damage, only insta kull stuff or th8ngs like disintegrate, and keyleth basically has an infinite amount of health, because she can A. Heal herself, and B. Just keep turning into an earth elemental or something to get back to over 100 hp. But because keyleth has spells, she's probably more likely to win. Seriously, how are you supposed to defeat a level 20 moon druid?

Oh my gosh, I would love to see that!

Yes and

Complete with an Owlbear mech suit made by Tary

@@khango6138 Either that, or he went crazy and recycled doty

@@privatizitat815 nooooooooooooo

If Campaign three is just like 20 episodes of the adventure of the darrington brigade I would be okay with that

pretty sure marisha implied that her character from this was her backup for beau

These very much seem like one shot characters. They're amazing, and I'd love to see more of them, but they'd wear very thin very quickly for an entire campaign.

@@catarinabarbosa2247 Trying and failing to imagine Caleb interacting with Hazel

@@blueskybelyr honestly? yeah, i think it would be super funny she would probably fit right in with the chaos crew

Don’t forget the 1990’s Wolverine.

Oh my god yes

@Daniel Ashar bin Mohd Fraziali * He has the keen owl eyes of a bear.

@@privatizitat815 Owl sight of a bear

*LEGO Batman

Woo-oh Also if no one knows, Sam is one of the remakes writers

@@BorreloadMJ He does some voices on it. So does Laura.

@@BorreloadMJ He's actually the voice director.

​@@EightThreeEight he's also the duck wrangler

I was waiting for “someone trips on the Owlbear rug that appeared in the middle of the room”

It would be amazing if @criticalrole gave us a Darrington Brigade film. Humanity needs an official animated version of our boy Owlbear ASAP!

He’s just like any citizen of Wildemount

@@kuroneko1813 of the Dwendallian Empire

Second place is tied with buddy

@@OneColeGuy lol

Buddy was more memorable than mac. all mac has is a funny voice.

@@companyoflosers don't forget Mac's maniacal tendencies lol

Buddy and Mac are more or less a single unit hahaha

But combine with the bear...

Not really. They are among the less intelligent birds, but that still makes them superior to many species.

They are in DnD, too. An owl is high in wisdom, but low in intelligence

That's what the bear part compensates for.

That explains owl from winnie the pooh

Spooon!

Or Lego Batman

Or Venture Bros

considering how sam and taliesin's positions are usually reversed, that fact makes for a fucking amazing one-shot

Level 18 rogue level 2 barbarian is the most broken character combo in the entire game.

@@FrostyTheSnowPickle Not sure about that. I don’t think you can say any martial character is the most broken in the game, because magic is utterly ridiculous in 5e. The Sorlock is a pretty potent and powerful combo, constantly throwing around high level smites. Throw in one level of Hexblade so all you need is Charisma

@@yooooo8600 Level 2 barbarian gets Reckless Attack, which gives advantage on your attacks but makes attacks against you have advantage. Level 18 rogue has a feature that makes no attacks against you have advantage. Rogues get sneak attack on attacks with advantage. Plus you get all the broken features of rogue and you get the barbarian’s rage.

@@FrostyTheSnowPickle And a Hexadin can do 200+ damage in a single hit

@@FrostyTheSnowPickle too bad The Owlbear has 5 levels in Totem of the Bear and 5 in Rogue, not sure the subclass used.

I'd love to see a serious take on The Owlbear in a "regular"cmpaign

YES

I think he actually says 'unliance' Maybe

The best part of that for me was Lionel not knowing what he's talking about, THEN seeing the duck pond.

We need a vigilante setting solely for the Owlbears exploits

I want Reani to guest star. Seriously she could be the Jubilee to Owlman’s Wolverine. (1990’s cartoon version)

Maybe once they’ve finished with the Legend of Vox Machina series, they can make the Legend of the Owlbear.

The Owlbear is one of the reasons the Gentleman decided to retire from running the Myriad.

It’s revealed he’s hidden somewhere in EVERY episode

You crazy bastard, you called it.

Thine wish hath been granted

@@arikapiera no way, really?? I'm a bit behind...

@@JacobGrim look forward to it then!

Why would we want to? That's correct

I totally agree

Johnny Knoxville could do it

But what about Tal himself?

This was just the whole group being the delightful nerds they are.

whooting starts at 18:07

Yeah, usually audience interjections are deeply irritating, but this was just the right amount of insane and perfect to make it work beautifully.

I seriously hope we'll get more of them. Not just The Owlbear, all of the characters they crafted for this one shot were super lovable and memorable. There is so much to be explored with them too! I want to know more about Damian's family, about Macaroni's god, and how he and Buddy met...

I want Owlbear to form a justice League, where everyone makes absurd characters. It will be the Tick in D&D.

Ooooo, I love Percy though.....

4? I think you forgot about Arthur Fizzlebottom from "The Night Before Critmas" one shot they did one year. Owlbear is still amazing as a character.

I really love Mallory from the Elder Scrolls “One Shot”

​@jfoley715 never trust anyone who orders the pork this early

17 years later, a completely different continent, and people like Ashton and Eshteross both have heard stories of The Owlbear. Makes me also wonder if Beauregard has actually met him in the 7 years since the end of campaign 2 while she actively deals with corruption across the Dwendallian Empire.

Reckless sneak attack is a crazy combo but you’re giving all of your enemies advantage against your Rogue hit die, not the same as Barbarian hit die.

Jordan Stolp True, but if you mainly focus on long range by using a cross bow or gun (depending on the campaign setting) you could help to mitigate the enemies dealing a shit load of damage to you

JCProfit unfortunately that’s not how that works. You can only Reckless attack if you’re using your strength stat with a melee weapon. If you want to use ranged weapons then your Barbarian levels aren’t doing much for you because you need 13 strength to multi class into or out of it. Also he does need to be using a finesse melee weapon so no great weapon master or polearm master unfortunately.

@@sadeknight9112 ah, damn. But you could still use reckless attack for a ranged weapon right?

JCProfit no dice, melee weapons only. It’s up to the DM if you want to include throwing axes or darts

...beautiful.

Goddamn you, that's good

Agreed

That is very nice but a whip is the only weapon that’s finesse and range so you don’t need to be a bugbear to pull that off if you want

@@sadeknight9112 bug bears naturally have reach on all weapons. Look at their stats.

Luke McDaniel I know, just as I said you don’t need to be a bugbear to recklessly sneak attack with reach if you use a whip.

Totally. But sneak attack on a great sword is so funny

David Hudgin I’m sorry to say but you can’t use sneak attack with a Greatsword; it needs to be a finesse weapon like a dagger, rapier, hand crossbow or whip.
