So the reason Pyke can't see the Everlight has nothing to do with the Briarwoods? Perhaps she has a *blindspot* she needs to overcome...

Scanlan's solo mission is still ahead of where we are. There is no way they will skip over that gem.

As the barrel flew through the air and the flaming arrow struck it, all I could think is “FLUFFERNUTTER!”

Scanlan's part hasn't happened yet, but it's still coming. There's an entire track on the OST dedicated to it. IIRC, the group took down Stonefell together, and *then* the part you're thinking of happened.

And finally, we come to Vox Machina's most fearsome foe ...... Locked doors.

I lost it at Percy's deadpan "I fell out of the window."

Spoilers. I hope we get this line. Percy: *hopeful and happy* I have a Sister. **Later** Percy: **annoyed** Oh God's I have a Sister.

Pretty sure they’re saving Scanlan’s plan for the duke, like it was in the original stream

SPOILERS . . . . . . . . . . Scanbo hasn’t happened yet. It’ll probably be next week at this point. It was briefly in the trailer and there’s a whole track for it on the OST. It’s too iconic a moment for them to not include.

Two thoughts: 1. It’s about time that Minxy FINALLY made an appearance. 2. Percy’s smoky thing is more wonderfully ominous than I had pictured it and it is amazing.

Druid is probably my favorite class and the way they express Kiki power set is amazing 👏

So, a Titan finally got Levi.....jokes! Great episode, I'm so glad they're dropping 3 a week, but I need more now!

Escape from the prison with the foolproof plan of FLUFFERNUTTER

11:27 FLUFFERNUTTER??!!!

What an episode, ARCHIE FINALLY !!!!, vax vs " the thing of EVIL", whitestone giving me blooodborn dishonored vibes, the giants going full attack on titan. Keyleth going beastmode, pike journey with the everlight not mention percy going full on batman/ ghost rider or batman/ scorpion mode. Then the casandra reveal gives percy hope but his hope might end in demise

I belive the rest of the season is dedicated to the briarwood arc. so we've got at least another 5 more episodes of whitestone. it may be 6 but they may do an episode of wrap up

(SLIGHT SPOILERS) I believe the “Scanlan’s Fault” scene that you mentioned may still be coming because it’s based on a different encounter with a New Noble… 👀 Loving these episodes!! ✨

12:31 "it was all scanlas doing" - WAIT ! i am pretty sure that this part is still coming there was scene in the trailer = bloody Scanlan on a roof top and his purble hand behind him (middle finger) and there are so many details that has hyped the coming scanlan scene, you can not just cut that epic moment

Three spell slots and 4 points of damage to open a door. Truly an iconic D&D moment.

Minxie finally makes her debut!

Percy's vengeance is one step closer to complete.

The Scanbo is still coming imo, we kinda saw aglimpse of it in the official trailer (blodied scanlan with the purple hand doing the finger) It has to be added. It's one of the most insane moments and loved by a bunch. :D

I loved this episode SO MUCH, and wow, great reaction! Like Wendy, I only have limited experience with Campaign 1 so far, and frankly I don't want to watch the CR Briarwood arc until we all finish up season 1 of LoVM. After that, for the context and nuance, definitely! (And was I the only one who, when Grog had to toss the cask of booze and Vex hit it with a flaming arrow, was mentally shouting "FLUFFERNUTTER!!!")

yea they burned down a couple places while getting to the Briarwoods. Aint time for Scanlans night of Ramage, but its gonna be so good to see it animated.

I think Scanlan's plan is coming up..? For the duke? Do I remember wrong..

I can't believe the fan of 'The Mighty Nien" didn't catch the "Fluffernutter" reference!

Just in case anyone is unaware. 2:00 the Dwarf Achie is voiced by Dominic Monaghan: Merry from Lord Of the Rings. It was a shot in the dark when they asked him to do it & most of the crew did not even think that he would respond...Yet here we are. Dominic loved this project.

All I can say is, a character we should be seeing soon is Dr. Anna Ripley, since VM had her in tow while fighting Dr. Anders.

Critical role released a series of graphic novels of origin stories of all our hero's in Vox. And tbh I kind of want to read them. But I kind of want to wait until I finish the first season at least. But the books are just more insight on their backgrounds before they fully teamed up I believe.

I love the literary themes...Grog's toothpick and now his keg of beer become key items. His hedonist impulses become practical. Very D&D!

My timing is awesome! Keep getting first comment! Glad y’all are having so much fun!

Don't know if they have Rolo chocolates in the US but when Archie said "you are not the last de Rollo" it made me think of an old advert slogan: "Do you love anyone enough to. give them your last Rolo?"

I got so hyped when I saw those lenses come down. Nothing travels faster than Bad News.

I can not get enough of this show. I'm so into it and I am also eager to watch campaign 1 again. Wendy I enjoyed your reaction to the family secret.

I came on here to shout a warning not to spoil what so many people have already commented here is still coming. :-) Should have known I could trust the Critters to be on top of it!

11:10 - that knowing smile and side eye. ❤

Because they changed this encounter, it's hard to say if this is spoilers or not, so just in case SPOILERS, but this is how it went down in game... In game, they had spent a night in Whitestone already, and the corrupted nature of the land was causing Percy to have a persistent cough and sadistic tendencies (because of a failed saving throw). Though the players know this was happening, their characters did not. This encounter happened at Kerrion Stonefell's manor. Vox Machina had talked to Archie (who was an older gentleman loyal to Percy's father and not a compatriot of Percy's), but they were not connected to the resistance otherwise. They broke into Stonefell's manor, and cornered him and Vouk (one of his cronies) in his office, killed a couple guards and Scanlan dominated another (magically) to turn him to their side. Percy killed Stonefell saying the line from this episode "And let me say that you were the one I was least looking forward to". Vax knocked out the dominated guard in case the spell wore off. Then things got really dark. They tied up Vouk and interrogated him. He begged for his life and promised to help them get into the castle. Instead, Grog ripped out his tongue, Percy cauterized the wound with his gun and then used it to branded the de Rolo family crest onto his forehead. They then threw him out of a window and allowed him to run away as a message to the Briarwoods and their henchmen before burning down the mansion (carrying the guard out with them to leave outside). Keyleth, Vax and Vex definitely were disturbed by all that happened, but did not stop Percy from doing it. They questioned him later about the "smoke monster" and his behavior. I assume they cut the Vouk stuff out because they thought that might be a step too far, and because it took too much time to make happen. But it is possible that it will make an appearance in a different time and place. But judging from the trailers, Scanlan's great solo adventure is yet to come.

No Mercy Percy omg!!! Love the shot we’re he puts the mask on without us seeing him it was so chilling

To Wendy: Grog throwing the barrel and Vex shooting it is actually a reference to FLUFFERNUTTER. Eyyyy 😅

SPOILERS . . . . . . . . . . . Scanlan's awesome scene is yet to happen! In the official soundtrack they released, there's a song called Scanbo. I cannot recommend the soundtrack enough, it's so good. Love your reactions, keep em coming! :)

I went back and watched the C1 Briarwood arc last week and Scanman’s solo mission is my favourite moment up to that point of the campaign.

You both pul the same faces as I do over how graphic the violence gets but loved it. Great reaction as always, brilliant energy

SPOILER: I can't wait to see how they handle the 'astral' Pike involvement. I sincerely hope they don't skip past the skeleton army and Pike's big moment of jumping off that wall to land in the middle and cause utter destruction. Too many people overlook clerics and Pike too because she is so small. Pike is a monstah and a badass. Not to mention she can cause a goliath barbarian to do what she wants with just a single look.

I think the pacing of the story is perfect for those who don't know the table top events. They still managed to keep the key points and create a great story that's still full of the roller-coaster feeling 😊❤ Im thinking also Book -> Movie effect.

Yes, I'm hoping the scene with Scanlan is still coming!!!

I'm on my 3rd viewing of campaign 1. :) Love these folks.

I think that 'Scanlan's Plan' might be still be in play in a future episode, since it involved Vedmire rather than Stonefell.

Just when you think they used a dragon too early in the show, you get this kind of storytelling.

From the words of nott the brave “one… word…… FLUFFERNUTTER!!!” Lol

That back door was exit only.

This episode was incredible!!

The hype for next week's episodes is soooo real. Spoilers: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Scanbo is my favorite moment from any of the campaigns, even better than the cupcake in my opinion because at least Laura had some kind of a plan. Sam just said "Fuck it, let's do this" and went balls to the wall crazy, and the madman actually pulled it off. Bravo sir, bravo 👏

Hello! I'd like to share the news of our lord and saviour... 11:19

Great show and funny and sick show

"Nothing but Bad News" I felt that.

I don't know that Vax ever actually failed to pick a lock in show (it's not listed in Crit Role Stats Door Trouble list anyway) - the door scene referenced here was something unpickable. There was a fun animatic for it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gd5dh5SpyqumoZs.html Really loved your reaction to the Cassandra reveal!

It's a campaign early, but...FLUFFERNUTTER!!!

People have probably already said this, but Dustin, I believe Scanlan's Plan is coming a little later, as he fights a character that is still alive in the show. :)

Dw Scambo is going to come next week against the Goliath Duke

Dont worry guys, Scanbo is coming, and just knowing how much EVERYONE loved it, i bet it's going to be the star of the episode it's set on

Hold your tongue on Scanlan's plan. You've got your Whitestone events mixed up. This is a mishmash of the first raid of a Whitestone manor, of Stonefell's manor w/ their surprise round in his office in the stream's version of events.

i think they said that the the Briarwood arc is the whole 1 season.

Spoiler . . . . . . . . . That wasn't the scanbo moment. Scanbo is still coming!

These giants are far more lethal and frightening than anything in Attack on Animation Studios. Because they can do more than bite and shamble around. And our lead characters don't drag their feet trying to figure out what's in a basement.

The first appearance of Minxie in the animated series?

Liked and shared.

Perfection.

SPOILER!! . . . . . . . . . I think that they WILL implement Scanlan's triceratops escapades. They set is up with him getting Polymorph, and in the campaign they first deal with Stonefell, and then the next day they kill every lieutenant. I'm guessing after that is when Pike will appear again, when they are escaping from the Briarwood strongholds in the town followed by hordes of undead. I want Pike's first thing when she's back to be a full on Destroy Undead channelling Sarenrae's divinity. I think that has to be the proof that her power is truely back.

Cassandra has been their hostage for 5 years.

Bidet!

Man this show is making me miss playing D&D.

I will just say I want more

My gods the door was So Funny i could watcj an episode of just that 😂😂 cursed door compilation When

I don't recall if you've ever said but do you two play D&D?

SPOILER WARNING . . . . . . . . . . ... This will probably lead to a confrontration with Ripley in the future, but I wonder if they're going to show Percy battling his evil patron Orthax? 🤔

I'm only gonna say this once, FLUFERNUTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For some reason this video isn't in the playlist yet.

Oh have fun. I hope you have tissues ready just in case.

6:41, I love Vax so much. Her line right there is probably my favorite one through the whole show.

Spoiler for Campaign 3: One of the doppelgangers that got hanged will be seen again.

Fucking doors!!!

I love you 😘💕❤️😘💕❤️
