Yasha wehn played by Ashley: Cute, nice, gentle giantess who kicks ass in battle. Yasha when played by Matt/Travis: Badass, deadpan amazon that steps over shit that annoys her

Jester's little "thanks mom" after Nott asked if she needed money is the cutest. Nott really leans into the mom role whenever she can.

You know your DM is a maniacal genius when the sight of seaweed now gives you PTSD flashbacks.

Matt: *is super excited to do a ship battle* Cad: "I'm about to end this man's whole career."

Marisha: spends several minutes expressing Beau's conflicted feelings about her painful childhood Editors: "Beau's sibling: Breau-regard"

The in-game start date for the episode was the 22nd of Duscar 835. Sam’s flask says “I am available to host the Oscars” Any moments I missed? Feel free to post them here. Is it Thursday yet?

imagine you're a well-fitted pirate crew getting ready to get your goon on but you instead get fucking obliterated by a ship named the Balleater.

I love how excited Marisha got when she got her First Mate paper.

Travis:"I'm not gonna turn evil" Matt starts looking at him interested

Jesus, the first 2019 episode? You mean to tell me I’m still over a year behind?! I’m never going to catch up....

"They die before we reach the shore." Such a disturbingly neutral delivery of that line; holy shit. lol

No character in Critical Role has ever felt more like a video game NPC than Orley. Every time he says "Where to, cap'n?", I can just see the dialogue box opening up.

Jester to Caleb, episode 47: "I didn't say you're stinky" Jester to Caleb, episode 1: "YOU SHOULD TAKE A BATH"

Sam: “You’re so dumb you have to write it down? (In reference to what Travis wants his character to do) Travis: “I’M GOVERNING TWO CHARACTERS RIGHT NOW!” Matt: *is literally playing 10 characters* “fair point.”

I feel kinda bad for Travis when he spoke in that voice in the temple cause he 1000% forgot frumpkin was with him. You can see the "ah shit" on his face

Caduceus: *Sees Caleb & Co. and thinks they are the sign that will lead him to save his forest home from a Corruption* *20+ Episodes later after getting stuck in the "Happy Fun Ball of Tricks" and working to grab Caleb more books* Caleb: *Gives Caduceus a book after discovering it's about Corrupted Plants* I love it when stuff like this falls together so perfectly...

Beau: We should probably put a little aside for the crew... Ford: They die before we reach shore Orly: *mildy concerned glance Me: Dies of laughter

I can never wrap my head around the perspective of the cameras. My head thinks they’re sitting across the table from eachother but I know they’re at like a V shaped table.

Matt: This is the first episode of 2019. Me: Why do I have to be two years behind?

this ep: caduceus bitchslaps an entire ship

Fjord: I've been looking for Vandran for awhile, I don't know how, and I don't know if I ever will. Caduceus: Hold my tea set.

Captain of the other ship: You kinda cheated there.. Captain tusktooth: Those rules are more like guidelines rather than laws.

Literally I can’t watch this campaign without thinking about that comment somone left that said they imagine Nott as a muppet every time she screams

3:14:45 travis finds a cracker between his notes, stares at it for a bit and then puts it in his mouth and the only one who sees him is marisha😂 thats so fitting for the whole "travis sees a do not touch sign and immediately touches it" thing

nott and cad are confirmed nein moms, with nott as semi-alcoholic but very supportive tiger mom and cad as cool mom who helps them make good decisions

"About an hour wasted, that's fine" Oh Matt, my heart

Fjord: (Changes voice completely) "Let's see what this does..." A thousand bricks were shat.

I love how the group's first response to anything involving firearms is to consult Taliesin.

Underappreciated moment: Caleb: May I have my books back please before you draw googly eyes all over the pages? Jester: *slowly pulls out book with a mischievous smile* Pause Caleb: Did you already draw googly eyes in the pages? Jester: *smiling* I dont know, maybe~?

“You eat a hamburger with a fork and knife? Are you a communist!?” Best quote

Matt: introduces entire pages of written out actions for ship roles, makes an open sea encounter, crafts entire sea combat scenarios, fleshes out their daily lives on the ship, and puts in a ton of effort for all the ship stuff The Mighty Nein: ends the fight without any combat, and decides to stop sailing entirely and get rid of the ship.

Sometimes Taliesin looks frustrated or super stressed when rolls or situations aren't working out, and I feel bad for him. Cadueceus's buffs and debuffs are so valueable, but when you play that sort of support character sometimes you don't fully understand how important you are to the group. Every 1d4 that helps the party hit, or makes a monster miss is essentially damage that Caduceus is doing, or preventing. He'll never see this but if anyone else plays a support character keep that in mind. Your buffs, debuffs, and healing make it so anything your party does is at least partly your victory. Also every once and a while you can completely destroy a DM's evil planned encounter.

Matt finally doing the Ukutoa bit is pure gold

1:42:20 Classic Jester. Jester: Could you ask your...um, your...you know...your god? Could you ask... Fjord: (Sigh) How do I do that, Jester? Jester: Well, do it like I do to the Traveler. Fjord: Does he just answer you when you talk to him? Jester: (Pause) Yah... (Note the unspoken "duh"...) Fjord: (Confused) He does? Jester: Hey Traveler... (Pauses) ...Yeah, he totally just said "What's up? Fjord: Would you ask him if he knows anything about this? Jester: Hey Traveler, do you know anything about this weirdo U'kotoa guy? The Others: (Whispered) U'kotoa, U'kotoa...U'kotoa... Matt: (Whispered) ...U'kotoa... Jester: He has...heard about as much as we have.

Someone else summed it up nicely with, "I nearly unleashed an Eldritch Horror from its watery prison and all I got was Control Water."

*Nott sending Jester off with Fjord* “Do you need money?” *Team-Mom energy intensifies*

2:50:17 had to rewind a couple of times to see each one of them react to "They die before we reach the shore" and it's magnificent. Sam first looks at Liam and then Travis. Marisha first looks at Matt. Laura squints her eyes at Travis (in character) like instantly. Taleisen didn't even realize what Travis said before he corrected himself. And Liam is so deep into reading the identified things that it went straight over his head. Matt's eyes just widen in disbelief. It's wonderful to see the irl relations they have in moments of complete character reversal like this one.

underappreciated moments: Travis spitting out the durian candy immediately vs. Laura trying it during the boat chase with Sam and Taliesin staring intently from either side

i love the hcs for size difference everyone has travis: fjord is fit and tall ashley: yasha is not taller than fjord matt on yasha: takes up more space than 7 ft cad matt on fjord: twink

I'm so late for this, but I love that Matt tried to give them a way out of the Nicodranas mess WITH a reward for killing pirates, but somehow, they're all convinced that they're wanted in town.

I'll never get bored of Cad calling out Bless. "You have a D4!"

Fjord: “I ain’t looking to freeing this giant snake.” Proceeds to unlock one of its locks.

I'm pretty sure yasha has gotten more "how do you want to do this?" moments when Ashley is gone, than when she is there.

Caduceus is like the Bob Ross of Clerics. "Imma do a happy little scry"

It would suck if anyone ever cast dispel magic on them while they were on the bottom of the ocean and they lost their water-breathing.

2:33:55 I would be very happy if the bandits who tried to rob them would become like the pirates in the Asterix Comics, at some point they recognize them even if they are still hundreds of feet away and just scream "The M... The M... The Mighty Nein!!!"

Nott: I'm a rogue so Bolt Bolt Bolt Liam: *Smiles in Vax*

When they found the leather armor, my first thought was “finally Yasha can have a higher than 14 AC”

I'm so happy Travis got a lot of "questing" in this campaign. Last time as Grog he had a lot of backstage time and it's not like he isn't a team player (on the contrary) but it's nice seeing him shine as a caster.

Ok, can we just take a moment and appreciate the fricking lighting on this damn show??? Like, they go for ambience, sure. But there is a legit "underwater lighting" setting with shimmering blue light to simulate a temple under the sea... like... well done, guys, well done 👏👏👏

Travis in fjords true voice “let’s see what this does” Laura *guttural demonic excitement noises*

I was really looking forward to the dinner that Beau and Cad were going to throw for the crew. : (

I love the MN. They’re funny they’re diverse, tricksy, creative and reckless. Everything you want in an adventuring party. But every now and then, I really truly miss Scanlan’s inspirations.

I'm really glad Sam "forgot" to hand the durian candies out while the cameras were off. Travis's sad Grog face was priceless.

Sam's huge flask say ' I AM AVAILABLE TO HOST THE OSCARS' .....lol love that man.

Cad *Rekts other ship with control water* Ford, "Man I am glad I went through all this to get that spell....once a day." That made me feel bad for Travis. Jester and Cad being better at Fords elements.

Finally I reached the point matt has a beard I've been using the background and Matt's facial hair to gauge if a video or a picture is spoiler or not

I can’t believe they still haven’t picked up on the fact Matt said they’re in the clear and are not criminals of Nicodranis because they killed a wanted pirate crew and none of them were identified.

3:21:52 these are the best moments when Matt silently listens to a character and then realizes exactly what they're doing and that they're gonna find out so much more than they thought and he just loves it he always does the seat sit up and that smile it's hilarious and I always know something good is coming.

If they run in to those bandits again, they are going to have to tell them that the nice one that was giving them advice and money is dead. And that he died not long after they sent them on their way last time.

That Bob Ross cleric. Every body needs a little heal. Right there. And there. Ouu and maybe a little bless right there. And bring some more life to the picture maybe a lovely divinination, right there. Man I love the deuce.

“You found that fast, you’re turning into Mercer! I can’t find shit in that book...except the title page!)” 😂 god I love Travis

It's so funny to me that Orly, just this random guy that they met in a tavern, just so happened to have a tattoo worth like $200,000 in dnd cash. It's like he's wearing a house that also makes you buff

"Captain... We've been taken out by the ball eater..." Perfectly!!!

Nott and Caleb's talks scare me, it's like they are scripted. Nott's innocence when asking his wizard friend questions is eerie in tone. I can sense Caleb's character possibly having a mental decline occurring and it's sad that only the goblin who's his friend isn't fully aware of it. So, so, good improvisation going on. Love this realm of fantasy never gets old watching them play.

2:12:35 Travis's immediate regret upon tasting the durian candy is one of the best things ever. I've never seen such a face that conveyed the words "oh no" with such disdain before.

For those of you either still playing catch up, or are rewatching this campaign for the nth time, congratulations!!! You have just reached a third of the way to completion!!!!

The switch from enthusiasm sheer disgust and disappointment on Travis' face after eating the durian candy is *priceless*.

The best thing that comes with this whole quarrantine thing is that I can regain hope to catch up this campaign! Who's with me guys?

is it weird that i have now started whispering UKATOA to myself whenever they say it in game now? i didn't even realize i was doing it at first.

“Jester just sees an arch of my blood through the water.” My brain “🎵Bleeding rainbow!🎵” to the reading rainbow theme.

Would you look at that? I am now only one year worth of episodes behind the most current episode! Happy New Year, folks. This is a good way to start off 2020.

Jester going from violently saying ' Eat it Eat it, It's good!' to a calm, relaxed ' Oh hi Fjord.' really makes me wanna rewatch The Room 😂

Caduceus really the MVP this episode. Control water changing the entire situation, divination confirming a big story element, protection from evil and good may well have stopped a possession... Keep brewing that dead people tea.

I really hope that when Laura and Travis' kid starts to swear and they're told to stop, they're able to find the clip of Laura frustrated she couldn't move into range around 54 mins in 😂

2:45:18 Can you imagine how much it would hurt to have sea water on a fresh tattoo?

I felt Travis deep down in my soul whenever he said he can't find shit in the book 😂😂😂

Nott: You can even change things from one thing to another. You're very good at that, AREN'T YOU? *Pregnant Pause*

Not going to lie, hearing Fjord so naturally say, “They die before we reach the shore” (or something like that), kinda makes me want to see an evil arc for the M9.

Jester: "Twelve points of bong damage." And it's in the water so it's technically bong water.

Beauregard has a little bro-regard

Has anyone made a Nott muppet yet? every time she say's "AHHHHHH" I see it.

I just love how invested Travis gets into everyone's characters! Everytime something unexpected happens he's just so shocked and enthralled!

I love how diverse these people are. Last campaign they were kind and mostly polite they had mostly an upstanding attitude to it. This campaign they are just a bunch of crackheads. I also love Laura. Vex was so interesting but jester is so different then vex. I love when jester was taken and when they got them back she asked the traveler why he wasn’t there. I just love how diverse her characters are.

"12 Points of Bong Damage!" I'm DYING. ROFLMAO

"Marisha: Natural one. (laughs) Happy 2019!" If she only knew...

Wow, Marisha's Yasha/Ashley impression at 3:12:22 was incredible. I had to check the video to see if Ashley was there.

Sam Riegal: running for president of D&D beyond Also Sam Riegal to Laura: eating a burger with a fork and knife!? Are you a communist? Sam Riegal for president 2019. Not paid for or sponsored by the Sam Riegal for DND Beyond president 2019

Matt is so good at creating believable enjoyable NPC's. I absolutely adore how attached they all looked when handing ownership over to Orley.

"Sam: You eat burger with a fork and knife? what are you a communist?", single funniest thing said in 2019 brovo Sam!

Lmao, I bet the floor of the temple has so many things because he’s trying to give them all the loot that they just forgot to grab in all the previous episodes 😂

2:12:38 when Travis put the candy in his mouth and he immediately had a look of pure disgust and sadness

2:22:23 Talesin and Sam are very intensely looking at Laura's reaction to the durian candy.

The genuine emotion and connection between Caleb and Nott is gold man

3:31:21 How Caleb constantly deflects compliments is so depressing. Let yourself be as happy as your friends know you deserve

The graphics showing their hp is such a good idea well worth the wait and now i wanna rewatch all the fights lol!

I love how they put the person who can't sit still in between people. lolol poor Liam

My journey through these vods started a couple months ago... To hear him say "Let's jump into the first episode of 2019" made me realize how much more I have to go. 💀

It is now my head cannon that evertime the cast whispers Uk'otoa its actually the Traveler.
