Reaction to ep. 6 "Spark Of Rebellion" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ja5ie5Oc0q3SiXk.html Reaction to ep. 8 "A Silver Tongue" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/isqGad2YmdCql6M.html

The Scanbo mission in game went from "I should run right?" to "I'm gonna kill everybody in this motherfuckin house!" in like 3 rounds it was amazing

He's practically vibrating with what he's struggling not to say. XD

I love your answer. "That's what happens when you roll the dice." EPIC!!!!!

Idk if you guys caught it- go back when Scanlan asks who the sixth barrel is for, and look at Percy's shadow: Percy is holding his gun pointed directly up, at the ceiling. His shadow is pointing the gun at his head.

Immediately after Cassandra starts to bleed out on the floor, mine just cut to an ad for stain removers Too soon, too soon

Man its so funny watching yall react. Someone knows whats going on and the other doesnt lol makes for a lot of fun.

Seems like they are also setting up "the bards lement" for future seasons with the way everyone is treating him.

I’ve been waiting patiently for the Scanbo moment to be animated for over 5 years and it did not disappoint

Note for you guys: when Scanlan asks about the sixth barrel after Percy explains the five names, take a very close look at Percy's shadow. You're in for a surprise.

Dustin with the stone cold face while Wendy freaks out at the end... kudos lol

I legit yelled "YESSSS!" at the triceratops. I lost it during the stream show, and was so hoping they'll show it here.... that scene is one of the legendary ones.

Matt Mercer LOVES his cliffhangers. :)

You might recognize the 'residuum glass' that Professor Anders was lecturing on in the flashback is the same residuum that Trent Ikithon uses to create his Volstruckers over in Wildemount. The only known source of it is Whitestone. If you watch the Campaign 2 moment when it was revealed that Trent is getting some from *somewhere* it's interesting to watch Taliesin's reactions. We used to fantasize about what Percy, by then an epic level retired hero, would have done if he knew that Trent was apparently having it smuggled to the Empire and using it for *that*, but of course Taliesin doesn't metagame so that plot thread never really got followed up on.

I am cracking up at Dustin's knowing smile while Wendy rants. Me too, Dustin, me too. ;)

My favorite part of scanbo is that in Canon the team still doesn't know how badass he is since no one was around to see it lol

I'm kinda bummed we didn't get the cool sun tree voiced by Matt Mercer flirting with -marisha- Keileth, but I guess that is how speak with plants is supposed to work.

Aw! you're actually crying!!! I was wondering how that scene played for people who didn't know what happened in the campaign. Thanks so much for sharing!

There were so many moments in Scanlan's potion drinking were I was like IS THIS THE EPISODE... then, okay maybe not. Then suddenly OH MY GOD ITS THE TRICERATOPS EPISODES HELL YEAH!!!! This was so epic to watch play out in the live game. In the game he actually sneaks in on the bottom level. He ends up drinking the potion while fighting another guard downstairs. Once a triceratops he smashed through a door to find a way out and ended up at the bottom of that room he ended up belching the fire breath in. But in the show when he charges and burst into that room the entire staircase, both sides, is lined with archers the same way they were for Grog in this episode. Scanman takes a lot of damage as a Triceratops but he knows in game if he "dies" as a polymorphed animal he goes back to scanlan form with the amount of HP he had when he transformed. So Sam just kept running around wrecking shop while the group was pulling their hair out. Eventually the half-giant and Scanlan face off ontop of the burning building just like the show. But the half-giant dies by scanlan's hand when he uses... in the game, Bigsby's Hand to shove the half-giant off the roof. Scanlan then rides Bigsby's Hand down to ground level and meets up with the group. None of Vox Machina witness Scanlan becoming a triceratops and single-handedly killing the half-giant. From what I heard.... the major plot of the story was written around Matt's storyboard. Then each cast member wrote down a handful of moments that stood out to them for their characters. It would seem that killing the half-orc in the way the game played out was less story dramatic so they altered it. But they still gave Scanlan his triceratops moment and the burning down of the entire mansion.

The best reaction of the video is when Casandra gets her through x. The Critter who knows trying so hard not to give anything away the Critter who doesn't know freaking out. 11:40

Kudos to Travis and Sam for the writing of this episode.

There's something so Jack Sparrow about Scanlon

Scanbo: "I'll give them a cube they won't believe."

I love the lil things in this ep, and the *cough* umm window entrance mishap 😳

By far scanlan was the MVP this episode, karma creeping up on his plans, potion mania and his fight vs duke was badass, also Cassandra death so soon yeah Percy is going to burn Anders to a pile of ash

Saying he had a plan is rather charitable 😂

"I thought they needed a de Rolo?" Percival Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III: "Am I a joke to you?"

Now you MUST show her the episode from the stream! One of my favorite Scanlan moments from the entire Campaign.

Dimension Door is such a staple for him. Shame that they relegate it to a 1-time-use potion. At least Polymorph now officially a permanent spell in his kit

I can't believe how much I am enjoying this show. Absolutely awesome, and awesome reaction as well. Can't wait for the next , especially episode 9!

Nice that they evoked the fact that, since Matt didn't have a triceratops mini, he used a steg.

I watched this part of the original campaign yesterday after watching the new eps and I loved it so much more than I expected. Watching the full triceratops moment with Sam just riffing is hysterical.

The way you edited it, it sounds like Dustin says "mhmm" in agreement to Wendy being a wreck.😂

Scanbo has been my fav moment of Critical Role up to this point in their streams. Love it.

Go back and watch the scene where Percy talks about the names on the barrels of the Pepperbox, and watch his shadow on the wall carefully

Enjoying your reactions. If you go back to the episode and freeze it at 7 minutes and 47 seconds when Scanlan asks whos the 6th barrel for look at Percy's shadow.

I love watching you both react. I have really enjoyed, watching Dustin in that final scene.

Dustin I bet you play a mean game of poker if you play that is because the knowledge you hide from Wendy is so funny. It is such a good show/ story. I like the things that are added like the guards playing D&D. Scanlan efforts

Fighting with sheer middle finger energy.

So I just watched Critical Role's Q&A about episodes 7-9. Apparently Sam was the chief author of Scanbo. That explains A LOT with the poop scene being included. 😅

Not spoiling anything. I'm just gonna say your questions will be answered in Episode 8 Wendy. 😅

Super stoked to see your reaction to this one

That sh*t-eating grin on Dustin's face yo

In the camapign it was a different henchmans house that team b took out, Anders and Cassandra weren't until a bit later in the castle. As it happend, Vax was scouting ahead and found the room they were in, signalled 'Jenga' to the rest of the group and just immediately busted in without waiting for them to catch up. He threw a few daggers into Anders, who then cut Cassandra since there was already no chance of negotiation. Percy didn't see it happen, and by the time he got there Vax had already used a healing potion to ensure she didn't bleed out.

💙💙💙Won't say anything else b/c spoilers

Love your reactions? This was so fun to watch on stream.

Dope t-shirt.

It's a shame that the entire sceen of scandlan didn't take place like that it wasnt even that close to it

Wanna leave a little remark on Anders: In the flashback he isn't very wrong. It's the common thing when noble kids don't really earn anything, but given instead. Yes he was evil SoaB but i love how Matt constructed that character. He's basically a smart guy who went too far, with some help. Back to kids, it's also pretty common (also in real life history) that when heirs lose their privilages they just perish, cuz they weren't tought to adapt and earn. That doesn't make Anders any less disgusting, but you gotta give credit that he's not entirely wrong in his statements, as well as he is smart... Was.

Dang, shouldn't have taken Anders' red stapler.

Did you steal Shang-Chi's necklace?

Scanlon: if Jack Black was a DnD character 🤣

size matters not

commentary during the singing is the worse
