The in-game start date for the episode was (roughly) the 4th of Misuthar 815. Any moments I missed? Feel free to post them here. Is it Thursday yet?

Pike offering Grog to make their own deck of cards with drawings and Scanlan pitching in with such a gentle dad voice of 'what things do you want on the deck?" gives me LIFE - Favorite family dynamic of all time tbh

Liam: "I want my player's handbook; give it to me!" Sam: "But you're dead!" Liam: "But I am a D&D player!"

I’d like to think Bertrand Bell was speaking all along but the only time we hear him is when Vox Machina cared to listen to him.

“That rod was in my family for 150 years” She’s 350 years old, she could have been the one who bought it

Laura: **constantly tries divine intervention as Jester; it never works** Liam: **tries divine intervention one time with Lieve’tel; succeeds**

GOD everyone’s reaction to vex being nauseous is incredible. everyone just immediately knew

so, lets get this straight. Scanlan insulted a ghost to death And Now, Grog has intimidated a dead person back to life.

I require more Bertrand Bell in my life. The statement of "It's just a tree, nothing special" cutting to Matt's definition of a metallic sheen and petina is so on point. Ashley losing it as well was too good

3:53:34 - Percy: "I'll be expecting." 3:55:15 - Vex: "You know, I'm feeling a little nauseous actually." There's that foresight!

Can we just acknowledged that Pike tried to give her god's blessing to her god

3:55:17 Vex: I'm feeling a little nauseous. I don't know if I want dinner tonight. Travis: **immediately knows what's up**

Bertrand (confidently): it’s just a tree and nothing more! Matt: *goes on to describe the tree as anything but your average normal tree* Ashley: *losing her shit*

I love Brian just crawling around in the background refilling everyone's mimosas.

The way Liam said" Let me teach you the wisom of the ~ages~" got me feeling some type of way

Percy's fist in the air after Vex mentions being nauseus was totally a "I did that" little victory pump. Priceless.

"With my knowledge of the foliage in Pandemonium, I can assure you all that is just a tree." Matt proceeds to describe an iron, tree-like statue

"i'm going into retirement!" Two real life years and 30 in game years later... After battling rogue furniture and an old orc, Bertrand goes out with a condom, werthers, and Golden Girls dvds in his pockets.

I love that the first 11 minutes is just sam getting revenge for the tarry scanlan conversation

As much as I adore Fjord... seeing Travis play Grog again just makes me so damn warm and fuzzy. The nostalgia is so good!

Everyone: How are we going to get down from here? Keyleth, hitting her vape: I could turn us into clouds.

“Sometimes the simplest answer is the shortest point between two ideas.” -Grog Strongjaw 53:55. I want that on a shirt.

I love how Travis really hit the nail on the head with Bertrand Bell being like Gilderoy Lockhart. Vox Machina gives me the same vibes as the Hogwarts staff in their interactions with him

2:25:52 I love the idea of Vax watching everything from a couch with The Raven Queen and Sarenrae

Did anyone notice the floating jug of mimosa that auto filled everyone's glasses around 1:24:30 ? Magic is real.

Fjord: 3 natural 1's Grog: 3 natural 20's Everything must be balanced

Laughed so hard at conversation between Grog and Mr. Bell. Especially when Sam said I believe he can speak for himself

Percy doing the "heyyy wanna buy a watch?" thing with his coat, only the inside pockets are all just full of fuckin birds

"We can make drawings on some cards and make our own. We can make a game of it." "Will they be magic?" And that's how Grog and Pike invented Magic: the Gathering!

Laura-as-Vex: Hey Scanlan, have you ever thought about using Modify Memory to make someone happy? Sam-as-Scanlan: But that's not mischievous at all... *SPOILERS* And one year later, Laura as Jester did exactly that in what will forever be known as the *greatest* mischief ever in D&D

3:49:02 Ashley: How about we make our own set (of Deck of Many Things cards)? Travis: (melts EVERY heart that’s watching)

So as it turns out, Bob... was a Builder

Sam, at the end of the 'Search For Grog' one-shot: Sooo... is the search for Bob going to be another one-shot? Matt, immediately: No. No, I don't think that's going to happen. My recommended: this video

Gotta say, the whole idea of turning everyone into small animals, and having a player carring them down with mother freaking farsight and pass without a trace was pretty genius. I'll keep that one in mind

I hope that the mighty nine find an actually enchanted Deck of Many Mediocre Things that Grog Pike and Scanlan created and enchanted.

Percy 'dealing' with Bob reminded me of something.... he definitely learned how to handle that kind of weird from Viktor :D

Behold, the episode that explains an item in Bertrand's pocket

When you realize Grog has more hit points than a Adult Red Dragon. 😲

You know, one thing I really like about Mercer is that he will sometimes talk through why he is choosing a skill for a specific check.

I was so heartbroken all this time when they were asking 'are we missing anything?' and everybody's like 'nooooo, nothing we can't replace!' and Liam's face is just stone...

3:15:20 Now that's a perfect use of divine intervention. "Hey, God. I need you to do the impossible." God shows up and does the impossible.

Vex+Percy's eldest kid: mummy, when did you and dad decide to have me? Vex: well you see, we were in Pandemonium because of your uncle Grog, and we had one quiet night at uncle Scanlan's mansion- Percy: Does she need to know that?!

"I'm feeling a bit nauseous. I don't know if I want dinner tonight" Why the hell is Laura so good at improv istg

"I rolled a two, so that's twenty." Holy shit, I nearly bust a gut laughing.

Percy with his crow mask and all of birds machina on his shoulders or in his pockets is such a fun picture ! =)

Percy: We can bring you to a place far better than this Bob: I don't know I kind of like it here Percy: Do you kind of like it here? Bob: No I don't think the cast even got that

I really feel like fixing mental illness is Greater Restorations most underrated utilization.

Can we just stop and admire Travis and his ability to switch characters almost instantly here? I'd watch an entire series with him playing alone as five different characters.

Heh... Liev'tel really enjoys commenting on how long it's been for different things... She's kinda the embodiment of "it's been awhile!" xD

I missed Percy so damn much. Tal's brilliance gets to shine again! Also, Grog is so much more enjoyable now that I know Travis's real range.

I’m not gonna get over the, um, “unseen servant” at 37:30 scuttling behind Matt to refill everyone’s mimosas

3:54:12 A really subtle indicator of how well they all know each other and roleplay together is the fact that everyone actually talks over each other here. Usually when two people speak at the same time, someone lets the other go first. But they all were immediately on the same wavelength and acted exactly like a group of friends excitedly debriefing each other after a crazy mission... because they are.

Anyone else notice how Liam used his character in this to protect Vax's sister and his character in Dalen's closet to protect his lover? (I watched them out of order whoops)

Damn, Lieve'tel's 3rd question really hit differently when you already watched Rumblecusp's arc ♥

To be completely honest, it's kindof weird imagining the group adventuring without Vax. Especially imagining Vex without him. They rolled stealth and she got a 40 for stealth, and I realized that there was no remark to Vax being super stealthy or her finally being stealthier than him. It was just kindof strange to me... But I love this episode so much already! I'm hoping that they'll at least continue one-shots on and off with Vox Machina to keep their spirit alive.

Let's give a round of applause to Travis for role playing 2 characters in an amazingly funny way. And to Liam to making the Elf'Bell ship set sail with a rocket. Lmao Great episode!

I just noticed now, after all this time, that the moment Vex asks for just a single gem instead of all of them from the bowl is very telling of how her priorities have changed throughout the campaign.

A hole in my heart that I didn't realize was there was immediately filled as soon as they started speaking in character. Vox Machina, how I have missed you.

This makes me look forward to 2 years from now when we are giving occasional visits to a lv.20 mighty nein after 68 episodes of campaign 3

I think the craziest part of this whole adventure through the realm of madness, that is pandemonium, is that marisha was wearing sleeves!

3:49:00 Found the answer to the long ago question of , "Who makes these cards?!?!" Apparently, a group of magically inclined level 20 characters get together from time to time over the ions and create them for fun (Or to please their barbarian friend).

4 hours of Travis role-playing with himself😂

3:55:15 I don’t know if this was intentional or not but after Vex remarks that she feels nauseous, Taliesin snaps his fingers. I bring this up because back during The Search for Grog one-shot, before the show started, the cast joked that when Taliesin snaps his fingers, someone gets pregnant. If this was intentional, then that makes it 10x better!!

Brian crawling around to refill drinks is about the funniest thing I've ever seen.

I want to congratulate Laura for graduating Vex to "sounding like Mary Elizabeth McGlynn," with her cold.

"Will this one eventually be happy?" "In time" Matt Mercer with the long con ladies and gents

2:09:04 Think this is my favorite moment "Can you show us our things? Please?" "Maaaaaybe" "Can I take that maybe as a yes?" "Yeeeeeeeees!" "Excellent!" Kkkkrsssh *freaking out intensifies*

Featuring: Brian, the Mimosa Goblin.

It feels like a sleepover because Matt is in a robe, Ashley and Taliesin are wearing onesies, and Liam, Laura and Marisha are wearing hoodies 😂

Percy quietly saying “It’s an alloy, it’s not common you have to... ugh never mind” made me realize how much I miss the character (Edit) Also the joy in Talleisin’s (spelling?) face when he said, “oh my god they are those assholes!” 😂

The general mood of this episode is fantastic, they're all having so much fun.

I like to imagine them getting Taryon’s help enchanting a new deck of many things for Grog, where each card turns into a different small thing he likes when drawn.

When pike said she loved this family my heart grew 3x it’s size, and now I’m in the hospital.

"That's the shame of losing one's mind, you forget the things that come naturally to you." I immediately thought of Caleb

If Grog is part stone giant, then it makes sense that the sand pit might be comfy. Like, the rock version of a water bed.

Love Grog calling her 'LeVeon Bell' and no one else getting it, the struggle is real for Jox Machina

I have to say, seeing the Critical Role team being themselves is my favorite part of the show. Seeing how good of friends they are really warms my heart.

The healing of Bob really hit the heart. As Matt said the words, "My mind has been clouded for so long, I had forgotten who I am", a tear rolled down my cheek. It reminded me of recovering from drug addiction years ago. To be moved like that is a beautiful thing and to be reminded that life lived free from the torturous grip of addiction is a blessing. Thank you Critical Role for creating such a profound moment.

I wondered why may made a "big deal" out of Laura loosing her voice by the end until it hit me. They are fricking voice actors. That voice is her bread and butter.

I love that Liam chooses to flirt with BOTH of Travis's characters

Most real moment in this game: Marisha asking why they only have one player handbook. "We're a company built on D&D!"

I was not aware of how much I needed art of Birds Machina bursting from Percy’s clothes

"I know where you sleep, my lady." [...] "I WILL SEE THE END OF YOU!" I missed Percy.

I literally dropped to one knee from laughter at grog's assist jn the resurrection ritual

1:09:43 Its confirmed. Grog was the metagaming pigeon this whole time.

Omg, Percy with his plauge doctor mask with birds on his shoulders is a great visual.

At the end, Pike’s three hand squeezes made me smile, as my wife and I do this as our own little code saying “I love you”.

When Liev asked the Raven Queen if Keyleth will be happy, does that means Mighty Nein will make Keyleth happy if they survive in Rumblecusp and bring her mother to her? OMG That will be a blast in the storyline for sure!

36:22 - This moment between Matt and Laura just makes me smile.

Now I want fanart of Percy with his bird mask, with 7 small birds perched on him, each different...

i think the best part of this is brian in camo stealthily making his way through to fill everyone's drinks

"I rolled a 2, so that's a 20." Man, I've missed these powerful idiots.

1:25:00 Brian scared the shit out of me, I was not expecting anyone to crawl around

I love how the first thing Bob does when he gets back is start poking a thorn bush repeatedly

Grog's rez attempt reminds me of the Hulk roaring Iron-Man back to life! :D

1:27:07 Travis face just slowly went south as Matt just continues to describes the tree is pure gold..

1:27:00 love watching various people around the table losing their shit as Travis slowly but surely dies inside over the course of 30 seconds.

1:57:36 Percy's Foresight he got from Keyleth carried over to Talisen..... Marisha was about to knock that mimosa over, but he saved it :)

Damn, does Liam know how to break a heart with his Characters. His 3 questions. Wow.

2:09:12 "NOW WOULD BE THE TIME" just made me choke on my water, that was too perfect
