just passed this scene and its easily one of my favorite back and fourths between travis and sam. perfect.

i want a short that says REVERSE MATH on it. nothing else.

@@xXADuckyXx just watching matt's face as he slowly realizes what as just been said is absolutely my favorite part of that exchange.

amazing lol, they are so tired but are doing such a great job

Exactly haha I don’t think she caught what he was saying either

@@jaredcollins7977 ya she seemed like genuinely sorry when Sam was making fun of himself really

Rebuttal: A professional shows up, even if she's supposed to be at an award show, and her category hasn't even been announced yet XD

I think that was the actual joke

I was your 1k like 3 years later

Yes, I must say Travis is a DM's perfect player he loves interacting with the world and *never* questions the DM. He's always telling the others, "Don't question God!" XD

I agree. I like Sam as a player as well. But Travis is by far my favorite player.

He’s the guy who thanks the bus driver when he gets to his stop.

@@skullsquad900 I think that this being his first campaign and him stating on talks that he doesnt read the players handbook beyond his character abilities helps with that. Those people that have been playing for a long time and know lore and monsters like the back of their hand that turn out to be rules lawyers seem to be the problem. While Travis is literally in the dark to everything besides his character which aids him in being the player he is.

@@gunnerbradley5282 I do that too, it's just good manners

Or the grin of a man who also attuned to an unknown magic item that he failed to vet but didn't get cursed?

I've watched his reactions at the table and he didn't enjoy that at all, looked more like Tal thought only Percy could hear it. They even retconned it in the show so Grog just picks up the sword and Percy isn't the middleman anymore.

Marisha: Jesus, that scared the shit out of me!

Half expected Travis to punt Taliesin across the room to make him fly

And right before it (1:17:40) when she asks for coffee is hilarious. Sam’s reaction to her weird little growl is amazing.

I didn't catch the change. But who is Obby?

@@goatelope7539 a One-Shot dwarf rogue played by Sam.

@@goatelope7539 From the Liam Returns One-Shot.

Alex Hooper yes but what was it?

Cobus Belterman A Nothic. They're abberations, so they wouldn't ping on Vax's divine radar.

Some lore says, that this were casters curse by Vecna, so knowing this means that any time your DM throws one of this, you know that Vecna is in the corner. :)

I thought it was undead because didn't he say his divine smite did extra damage because it was undead? I'm probably wrong

@@alexkerr3868 Divine Smite is alignment-based usually iirc. Not sure about 5e since I haven't played it a lot, but definitely Pathfinder and earlier versions of dnd this is the case.

Don’t forget the goldfish dive off a cliff

TBF, she usually should and is fine, because of all her crazy Druid powers. It's just when she gets overconfident that it backfires apparently.

ScorchHellfire yeah she rlly is fine majority of the time, she really is a strong Druid, any situation is fine because she’s got anything. But still the mess ups wouldn’t make the show the same, it’s a lot more entertaining anyway.

Oh damn that's true. If vex hadn't seen her become ketchup after keyfish, she'd have been in big trouble

These all involve elements, so yeah.. shell be fine

If that's not the most wholesome arch of the campaign, i don't know what is. (yeayea scanlan is a father, sure)

It's great but the time and effort it takes isn't something they have time to spare for. So I'm often torn here. That being said the stop off to explore should entitle Grog to that time. I'll give him a pass compared to greed.

I'd like to imagine after all this Grog takes over for Groon and becomes the smartest most well read barbarian monk that has ever lived.

Well for Matt and Marissa, they quite literally at home. Unless I am 100% wrong but I am pretty sure it is their house so it would kinda make sense

Amazing what copious amounts of alcohol can do.

I LOVE THIS

I love these moments it’s so weird but so cute, also when Keyleth does something awesome so both Matt and Liam have that proud ‘my girl’ looks

You'd be amazed how well it actually works on most folks. In one of my games I had a villain's escape tunnel equipped with fake doors and chests that were armed with explosive runes and other nasty traps. The party very nearly TPK'd itself trying to loot the chests, and the villain was successful in escaping. Greed can be wonderfully potent bait when it comes to adventuring parties. ;)

probably more like. "you want to go exploring ehhh, despite a time crunch ehhh, well time to have some fun!"

Maybe the other adventurers took what was inside an Matt thought of that.

Could have just used an extra door

*frantically scribbles notes*

Well the Titan was down for millennia, became a “dungeon,” then got up & walked off. The group should have gone in through the front, not the back door! 🤣

30 minutes.

To be fair, Doors are their worst enemy.

@@PvtCrit Besides old people.

What door was this talking about? The only ornate door I noticed in this episode was both trapped and locked.

@@Heavensrun The stone door into the chamber

Oh my god I never noticed that. She is great! And you can see Marisha and Taliesin also show they are impressed/amazed at it. Even Sam takes notice. Pretty good for someone who is a lifelong professional voice actor to discover a new vocal talent live for us to see and enjoy! I wouldn't have seen that if you had not mentioned it, Thank you! :D

That was unnerving as Talesins Crows.....

if you feel heavily for VM, you're not ready for what's coming in future campaigns

We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?

@@jeremyfaille4365 True that.

I've been on this journey since late last year and even though I've stopped so many times because I have to keep up with other things I come back to this no matter what. I can't believe its almost over and still don't know how I'm going to feel about the other campaigns these guys this party are the show and I love these characters like my family🥰

It's just entertainment, man. Don't take it so seriously.

Already? Wow. Here take this internet cookie as a reward 🍪

Jimenin MG thanks

Just commenting so this stays at the top.

I have missed these...

Bless you kind soul

Oh this is beautiful

I feel like that would be a lot less effective as slashing damage would be a lot more likely to draw blood for the weapon to drink than the bludgeoning damage a sledge hammer would deal. But I might just be over analysing someone's word play.

Bad Request have.. have you seen the damage a hammer can do? If it's a crow's beak it even has a spike to penetrate armor. Since it's Craven Sledge I assume it's be spiky on the striking face, making drawing blood easy on any matter of enemy

Why simply draw blood, when you could splatter it everywhere? Also someone get Milo a cookie, that was well played

While this was meant as a funny joke. Because craven edge is a magical sentient talking weapon. Basically something close to an artifact I think it could easily change forms depending on what the wielder needed so craven sledge could very much be a point but still mostly doing bludgeoning damage sledge hammer of destruction.

they really took a short rest while Grog was reading a sentence.. but shit that was *a lot* of long words!! english isn't my first language so idek what "stalwart" means

you forgot the "Hello! I'm Tiberius Stormwind, of Draconia!" first, then the fireball thing lol

@@bloodydove5718 i missed that guy ...

@@dark3rthanshadows I miss the character not the player

"I encourage violence" -Tibs

@@runzumarun4925 I feel the same way. My first time through I missed Tiberius when he left but then I realized that the show is a lot more fun without the player. With subsequent watchings it's even more obvious how disruptive he was and it's a relief to get to the end of his appearances. I wish he was a better player and fit for the group because Tiberius in the Thordak fight would have been great.

Right???

I was thinking the same thing... 😂

I knew somebody was gonna catch that...

JUST watched this week's campaign 2 video this morning, and at that comment I got lost for a sec and had to remember which campaign I was watching

when i heard it and the subsequent giggles, i was like... have i really been in quarantine for years?

Maybe Grog would. Travis is very smart.

Samuel Khasin You say that, but Travis just said "I can't do reverse math." When referring to subtraction .

Samuel he is smiles at the sentence when mat says it, where everyone else just looks at matt for details, Travis just grins :)

I'm not the only one?

Tjats what i was imagining too

I would love to know the number!

I counter 4 or 5 so far. no more than 5.

Oh, he's done way more than that.

Yeah, duck, duck Bonus action: duck Hasted action: duck duck ;)

@@ChrisJohnson-du9zc *Lionel enters the chat*

With no annoying creature to lead them, the two halfligs had little chance to get to their destination. But they did, against all odds, and then... Since nobody ripped his finger off, Frodo became a better Sauron than Sauron and killed all things. The End.

More like since nobody ripped his finger off, the Nazgul destroys Frodo and Sauron wins. How the hell a hobbit it's gonna be more powerful than Sauron?

There is no pity on this earth that could stay Vax's hand.

@@Jake007123 The One Ring contains the essence of Sauron and thus can command the Nazgul. Hell it's part of the very nature of the Ring to do that! What it means to be the new Dark Lord is academic. How much of this new being is the weilder and how much Sauron? Though over time Sauron wins out. Something of a much slower process but fairly akin too the biological process of a humanoid becoming an ilithid.

@@MorinehtarTheBlue Frodo had the ring many months already, if not a more than a year. He could no longer resist the temptation, and that's why he didn't destroy it when they were at Mount Doom. Without the final fight with Gollum, Frodo would escape Mount Doom, be inmediately found by the Nazgul, get killed/transformed into a Nazgul, and Sauron would get back in power. This is very obvious, that's why Gollum got saved so many times, so he can be the catalyst for the destruction of the Ring. The book and the movie makes it a point to say so several times. As for the rest people wearing the Ring, who knows. People strong enough would probably resist Sauron for a long time, but the theme is that the Ring (and therefore Sauron) always ends up corrupting the individual to their core.

Sam probably will read this 5 minutes before the oneshot he has to run and pick this as a great plan.. much like his Loot-crate commercials :D

Is it two?

From the description, it appears to have been a Nothic. I can't say he made the wrong call.

I scream at them all the time 😂

Larkin had her character sheets... I mean Liam

@@m1ckyg21 ok? Pike has said half a dozen time in earlier eps that she knows dwarven

Pike would keep quiet so Grog could feel good about being the only person who can read something.

@@mathybrain8 i accept this explanation

I am very curious to see which of them realizes cell phones have CALCULATORS and if you just punch in the numbers on all your dice rolls, it makes these things incredibly easy. 2 campaigns in, still hasn't happened. And they use DnD Beyond in campaign 2, so it's very impressive nobody's thought of that.

@@haku8135 one would almost come to the conclusion that they don't want to

As someone with autism, I despise noise when I’m trying to concentrate. Particularly repetitive or reverberating noise, it always worms into my head no matter what I try.

We have several players with different learning issues. We range from ADD, ADHD, Autism, several with dyslexia, and one hearing impared. It can really be a challenge, but since our players are family, we do what we can. They also range in age from 12 to 68 years old.

I consider myself more of an ADHD impatient

It could very well be nervous laughter. Like “Oh god, everything’s going wrong, I don’t know to do!!”

Was about to say that it was really really useful and that you're just biased against her then saw you said RAD not bad

I am in fact biased against Keyleth but that moment had me like NICE!

Keyleth is the embodiment of a "hit or miss" character. She often does a lot of cringey and stupid stuff but when she gets it right she's a real life-saver.

@@Crawler778 100% Agree. Most of the time I'm incredibly frustrated by her actions and cringy RP, but every once in awhile she knocks it out of the park.

@@MacroAggressor For me a prime example of this is when she went earth elemental then dive bombed the ship.

What was it?

If it's an Adamantine Hammer, then RAW (Xanathar's Guide) states every hit with it's a critical. Even if it's not a legendary, adding in the +3 still makes it a formidable weapon.

Hell is the ultimate dungeon crawl.

No, the ultimate dungeon crawl is a crawl through a literal dungeon in hell. Which he did!

He most definitely did a dungeon crawl in Hell. Still waiting for that double cross he wanted to do...

Drives me nuts that Scanlan chose to learn Greater Restoration instead of Identify given that two people already had it 😂

​@@daneroberts1996to be fair to Sam, Scanlan was off without the crew for a year and he'd probably take healing stuff to better keep his promise to Kaylee that he wouldn't die. Also, Sam does a shit ton of the support stuff in encounters, so him having GR was a decent pick considering how everyone else tends to play. But yes, it's really annoying that nobody has identify especially when they know how useful it is.

Yeah this is why Taryon was clutch. But you know what? I'm gonna go ahead and blamre Tiberius

I had a flash of this cinematic moment. Vassleheim is under siege, the titan is approaching the city. Back to Vox Machina finding the place where the heart of the Titan used to rest. Grog is pulled into the air and begins to glow as his sight suddenly shifts to the eyes of the Titan. The Titan is partially revived and Grog is controlling its body. Grog, as the titan throws Thar Imfala(sp?) To the ground and begins to pummel it while shouting, "STRONGJAW!!!" Cut back to the battle at Vassleheim and the entire council looks on in baffled horror and amusement. "Vox Machina..." one of them whispers.

Well, his tools and his brain, but yeah. Percy's always struck me as a cross between Batman and The Doctor. Batman's backstory with the personality of a young Doctor. His TLOVM design even looks like the Tenth Doctor. On the Batman note, with as much as he uses those Spider Climb boots to get elevated perches, I'm surprised he hasn't tinkered some kind of grapple-hook device to pair with them for quick, safe descents. There've been a few situations where one would have been useful.

He's actually done it before, I just don't remember the episode

Laura does the jester voice fairly often

Sam and Laura have been jester and nott for years now, they just didn't know.

Little known Critical Role Lore fact: Nott and Jester are really into roleplaying. Sometimes they sit down and disguise themselves as some nerdy as voice actors who play dungeons and dragons.
