To add to that, on a 12-point scale, young adult is a 5. Out of these 4, 3 are ancient, which is a 10. Cinder King is what currently would be considered great wyrm (12) though at time of stream ancient was largest category.

@@nirandon999 We also need to point out that he's also a lot larger than a red dragon his age usually is.

I wouldn't say adult. In human terms, petulant teenager who just got his car keys.

For comparison, at the end of campaign one, Grog's hit points were about the same as a young adult dragon.

Brim's the intern

That's both brilliant and cruel

@@NerdyNightly basically fast travelled between a bunch of save points where we left some commissions running, and collecting them up

@@alexkramerblogs That is amazing hahaha

@@NerdyNightly We realized one of the locations was like in-game a month ago, but in IRL we hadn't been there since June 2021. Had to dig through a few notebooks to remember some NPC names and shop details

Druids, man!

Can't wait to catch up with it!

I was there 2000 years ago.

Good thing they didn’t get caught in whatever ability makes Vorugal’s wings rain acid. IDK if there’s a DND analogue to it but it seems like it’s have a wide area of effect.

@@NewInkFoHalo Vorugal is the white dragon; the black dragon’s name is Umbrasyl. The acid dripping off his wings is an original design, which I am a big fan of! Makes him that much nastier

@@allmyhomieshatefreud5501 damnit I always get those confused, thanks for clarifying And yeah acid wings are a spectacular addition, really drives home the indiscriminate nature of their attack.

Matt's comment about "I just destroyed my own creation" is so on point too. He looked really emotional in that moment.

Thank you for this!

creating a lair, which then go on to give the dragon's ''lair actions'', which suck for anyone fighting in it

No thank you! This show was such a delightful sruprise in Season 1 and we're so stoked it is back!

Canonically: Very rarely, and usually with dragons of the same elemental/color type. The white dragon here (Vorugal) is wooing another white dragon (Gelidon) by bringing her increasingly deadly kills to show his skill and strength, and therefore his value as a gene contributor of eggs. But dragons rarely stay with their chosen mates, they'll live separately and only meet up to make eggs or exchange kill counts (or treasure, if affectionate). We learn about Gelidon in a Critical Role livestream bonus question episode, I forgot which one they confirmed it in.

It was a GAMECHANGER

It looks like a castle though.

@@calvinjohnson6242 my guess is that the castle is in the middle of the district, so the dragon took out both.

@@tomasjallen I am very aware. I’m only pointing out that the OC’s correction isn’t quite right. They said it wasn’t “the Castle” and that it was the Cloudtop District. I argue that the Cloudtop District is basically a giant castle.

Also giving a like because Balefire is awesome

Holy shit! Thank you so much for the Super Thank!!!

@@NerdyNightly thank you guys for the good work

Caraca, eu não esperava te encontrar aqui Leo Bom, até que faz bastante sentido hehe Te desejo grande sucesso cara, tu é incrível

NO WAY. That show was my childhood

@@NerdyNightly She was Suzie in Rugrats as well

And they rise from the flames for the battles ahead

Villains beware cos you're about to be dead

Yeah that's gotta be it, I thought it was Hold Monster but the description of Earthbind fits almost perfectly

I thought it was a more powerful version of Lightning Lure.

Haven’t gotten to the season 1 plot yet!

@@NerdyNightly oh my. Really holding back for the show. Commendable I was in the middle of the briarwood arc when S1 finished and scrambled to burn thru the rest of the campaign before S2. I am not as patient.

Good time to be a nerd!

Transport via Plants?

@@idleoz21 thank you

FOR THE HORDE

Bidet!

Bidet!

real

FALSE

yep, they had no choice but to run, most of the group nearly went down from the acid hit in the game

I mean all of it IS rushed. Compared to the campaign.

@@AnxietyRat Well that goes without saying. My point is it feels a bit too rushed. I know whats going on but a casual watcher might feel as if to much is getting crammed into the first 3 episodes. I understand there is a lot that has to be changed in regards to missing characters, plot points, as well as making it fit into an episode but I hope it stretches out in the later episodes. I'm not a fan of the pacing.

@@robando2922 I honestly don't think it's going to slow down. They have so much that they need to fit into such a short season in addition to the episodes being with VERY short in length... They do have season 3 to wrap up this arc of the campaign but there's still just SO MUCH that needs to happen... I wouldn't hold my breath on it slowing down. 🤷‍♀️

***SPOILERS BELOW*** As someone whom is familiar with CR's 3 main campaigns, I'm not at all surprised by the pacing and density of both seasons, neither of which has detracted from the show for me thus far. Also, the way I like to think about it as my kind of 'head canon', is that this is how Scanlan is retelling the adventures of Vox Machina in the future (or present, depending on how you look at it), as bards are want to do, they leave out inconvient details that would hinder the story telling, they embellish others to excite, and sometimes, they leave things exactly how they were, because it deserves respect. It's kind of a meta way of coping with the fact that we never will get a 1:1 translation of the campaign to animation, because it simply isn't feasible, nor would it be watchable for newcomers, and there would be nothing new for long time fans of the campaigns. Also, I would not be surprised if at the end of this campaigns run in animation (hopefully the go all the way with 5/6 seasons covering the major arcs), that it indeed was present/future Scanlan retelling the story of Vox Machina to a crowd of people in a tavern as one of the last shots of the series, with hints at what is to come in The Mighty Nein and Bell's Hells, but we'll see.

@@robando2922 The pacing of this show has always been kind of rushed. I’ve accepted that is the way it is going to be.
