The in-game start date for the episode was the 8th of Misuthar 836. Sam’s flask says “In Memoriam: Eric 2019-2019, Long May He Buzz, he will be missed”
Any moments I missed? Feel free to post them here. Is it Thursday yet?
HDIWTDT? By hitting refresh until I see Flando’s time stamps
Thanks, again! You’re an absolute lifesaver ❤️
Thanks!
"Dani Carr Explodes" I'm surprised we couldn't hear her yelling from the other room, but I would have actually loved to see her reaction.
Hail flando, hope you're doing good my man.
Cad in episode 36: Panic attack after killing a few sailors.
Cad now: “We can take the heads.”
This made me laugh way too loud.
only took 28 episodes, to be honest Im surprised it took this long with M9's history
I think it makes sense. He has an issue with murder but is comfortable with death.
Kevin Wheeler the rest of the Mighty Nein finally corrupted him
His reaction afterward made it clear that wasn't his plan A, and he wasn't happy that Yasha just did it the moment it was suggested. He meant "worst case, if there's no better option, we *can* just take their heads". I mean yeah he still thought of it and said it out loud in character, but it's not what Cad really wanted.
How far the Mighty Nein has come... from stealing random horses to ride out of town, to collecting random horses to feed to the things they're riding out of town.
the M9 is not kind to horses...
Yasha: was named orphanmaker
Caleb: jokes on you I don’t need anyone else to make me an orphan I can do that shit myself
Holy .... xD
Damn XD
AHHHHHHHHHH.
Oh that's a low blow
The moment you realized he batman himself……
"wakey wakey orphan makey" - Nott immediately preceding her death
Hilariously, killing Nott (and then Yeza later) would mean Yasha actually does lives up to her name XD
Time?
Beautiful.
@@CelestiaLily Cadeuceus voice: I'm into it.
Fjord: *kisses Jester, then gets attacked*
Jester: YOU WILL NOT TAKE THIS FROM ME
Timestamp?
Maybe Fjord's slowly developing feelings for Jester. Yet wouldn't a tiefling and a half-orc produce a tanaruk or would the offspring be the mother's species or a new hybrid of orc, human, and fiend? I guess we'll find out once new episodes air again.
Zachary Gadzinski I think that when a hybrid specie Ed has a child with a different one the child is either the hybrid or the other instead of creating a company,steely new race with even more genes. So a child of tieflin and halforc would be either a tie fling or half orc
Zachary Gadzinski Aren’t tanarukk’s related to the abyss and baphomet while tieflings are related to hell
Genasi are halfies of the elemental genies, so if the gentleman IS Jester's father, genasi+tiefling=tiefling... soooo?
Love the contrast between Fjord being frightened vs Caleb being frightened - “AAAAAAAAAGETTHEFUCKAWAYFROMME” vs “okay. okay.”
*fjuck
Just Another Enthusiast fjuck man you’re right
Just Another Enthusiast That was so underappreciated "Fjuck" I cackled
Whenever Caleb says "okay" when hes freaked out I read a lot of niles crane energy
@@justanotherenthusiast1550 • Ahahaha, yes
When you don't get info on a History check of 20-25, you just KNOW that shit's world-changing lore.
(SPOILERS for the Wildemount Sourcebook) but it's actually just a small, isolated Halfling/Dragonborn commune.
It's just an anagram of Chairs- Matt was fucking with them. On a Nat20 Liam probably would have got a whisper saying so
@@xg1559 😂😂😂
This is actually a great example of Matt being an incredible dm. He didn't set the dc so high because he didn't want to tell them, but simply because they wouldn't know.
mhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I want a shirt of Jester holding the symbol of the traveler that just says "blanky blanky doooo, shala gam shaloooo" lol
Yes! We need that.
I need 10!
Laura Bailey, please make this happen!!!
I picture more of a toddler Jester, still holding a "blankey" and saying that to amuse her mom who doesnt realize that the holy symbol jester is holding *is actually a thing*
Let Chaos Reign! (Jerking gestures)
The best D&D Beyond ads are the ones where you can see Sam regret his decisions halfway through the bit
As an Aussie I was laughing my ass off the whole time, the only real objectionable part was the Vegemite on the Tim Tam, no one sane ruins a Tim Tam with Vegemite.
@@sw96 agreed but Sam isn’t what I’d call sane
I'm an american and haven't tried either of those, but that huge groan from the rest of the cast kinda speaks for itself. XD
It’s like he’s trying to speak to me, I know it! (Finding Nemo)
The best part is him randomly yelling “Billabong!”
"I take out 15 platinum..."
*Vex'ahlia screams from across Exandria*
Caduceus: "I feel irrational fear for some reason."
Vax’ildan: *Laughs in Raven*
Mollymauk: *laughs in lucian*
Vex was a cheap person?
Ruan Weiers Britzke she makes a Jewish stereotype look spendy
I’m so glad we went from “how much silver did I get?”
“SEVEN”
“Whoo!”
To
“Here take this 15 platinum for your troubles”
Next will be diamonds.
“Your Vex is showing.”
It was pretty excessive tbh
hahaha so true
I'm glad too, but damn, she wasted so much money.
Travis: Matt you don't have to do the noise every time!
Travis literally seconds later: _EEEYLDREEETCH BLEEAAASSSTTTT_
1:32:30
Matt: jump scare
everyone: freaking out
liam: *happy clapping*
This is my favorite moment of the entire episode, possible the entire campaign lol.
I’d also like to point out how incredible Matt’s storytelling is that he could make such a suspenseful moment into an effectively creepy jump scare
It's 3am and I just got passed this part....my dog needs to go to the bathroom....I don't want to go outside DX
@@Sassifrass118 my phone is connected to my bluetooth speakers and is fairly loud, and the moment Matt started describing the creature and making sounds I had the urge to look behind my back. This is the second time Matt had me scared with his creepy characters. Love it
His eyebrows do a little dance in response
My favorite thing is when Matt scares the shit out of his players with his beautiful vivid descriptions of horrifying monsters suddenly lunging at them
And my favorite thing about that is that his descriptions aren't even horror-like, he just nonchalantly states the appearance (with motions) and they're still scared silly
Imagine if Matt spent like 3 minutes per creature
This comment aged well 😅
1:31:50 that description and scare are amazing
Travis especially
@@TimStamper89 Yes!!!!
Travis: **Roleplay kisses Laura's character on the cheek in a game of D&D**
Laura who is married to Travis and even had a kid with him: =O :>
That was so wholesome :3
She stayed like that for such a long time like 30 seconds just staring agape
Its so cute ❤️ It reminds me of that scene with Andy in Parks and Rec
"Aww babe you had a crush on me"
"We're married"
Roleplay is indeed a way to keep a long-term relationship fresh and exciting.
@@lucyde9 Roleplay is, in fact, the direct cause of my current long-term relationship and upcoming marriage.
You know... Jester's Sending sessions have become one of my favorite parts of the campaign, not only because she does it in such an amusing way, but because it enables us to check in with characters we haven't seen in a while on a regular basis. Frankly I'm surprised she hasn't ever done one with Kiri or any of the other guest characters besides Shakaste.
She has done them with Kiri but got no replay because she can't form sentences In her mind.
@@davidchristen8365 Nope. She finally does one to Kiri in a later episode, and Kiri uses phrases she learned from the Mighty Nein and her foster family to respond. Also, you hear the words of the other person through Sending in you mind, but you speak your side of the exchange out loud. That should be clear with how Fjord makes a habit of keeping track of Jester's number of words used.
I think Jester said that she spoke to Kiri often
Jester has spoken to Kiri in-game for a few times i think, but off-cam she has mentioned that when she can, she speaks to Kiri and her mom in a previous episode.
Well she doesn't make a habit of contacting old guests because they aren't there and its awkward to rp for someone else's character
It was so sweet when Caleb noticed that Beau needs a rest, but she is too proud to ask for help, so he asked to stop because he "fell"...
Caleb: "You know I'm not feeling so well. I think I might need to rest here."
Beau: *death stare straight into the camera*
1:06:11
That was so sweet, its like the friend who orders for you when you have anxiety
@@math_plant especially if it's in a situation of "I have anxiety and hate ordering but if my friend also has anxiety and feels very uncomfortable with ordering I'll gain super powers and order" or something along those lines. Like it feels... sort of small when its helping your friends.
Caleb is.. a sort of weird book. Like on one point I think he won't want to bother anyone with his shit so he would hide it.
But then I remember that he was trained and he would probably look at the big picture with "if I'm hurt and I don't say anything, this might fuck us over later." Or... he might do that thing where if hes hurt on his own he won't do shit but when it comes to protecting his friends he needs to be in semi-top shape to help them.. so he won't really hide his injuries...?
Man.
Thinking too much about this.
:D
@@BambiCambi I really saw it as Caleb starting to open up a bit with them, and feeling more comfortable around the Nein. He has been vulnerable before, especially if its physical, cause he has the lowest AC (even if its not metagaming, hes the weak one, and never refuses a heal.)
Caleb is weird, but he knows Beau is too stubborn to admit she is injured and ask for a break, and she doesnt want to look weak, so he accepts to look vulnerable for a second cause "oh well Caleb is squishy, lets stop so he can rest" sounds better. (Besides I believe he'd rather look weak than have Beau die cause they didn't rest. He is very attentive, just not great with feelings, but thats why Frumpkin is there)
Would Caleb hide if he's hurt? Maybe in the very beginning, but he doesnt seem like the person to do so. He definetly would look at the bigger picture and know he would be of no use to them dead, and the Nein know too, which is why more often than not they offer healing spells so that people do not have to ask for help.
I did it before, when I am uncomfortable and am with a friend I will tell them, and many times they try to help.
@@math_plant yeah, and Caleb probably knows that unless Beau looses consciousness and fall off the moorbounder, she won't ask for a break... so he'd be like, "ah, fuck it, nobody will bat an eyelash if I'm asking!"
And riding a moorbounder with hurt ribs would be horribly painful XD
Beau just invented ravioli stuffing. Canon.

Lol, my thoughts too, end game you enter a room with two chairs and nothing else, what do you do?
Brent Helgren it seems like you have to sit on the correct one or instant TPK
As someone who read the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, I wont spoiler anything, I just want to share that it is AMAZING! Matt is just so good :)
@@BoredMarcus I do not know what this means, nor have a read the book, so I can only assume that that means that Charis is in fact a chair
2:22:11 I'm laughing my ass off at Liam subtly moving away from Marisha as soon as Matt asks her HDYWTDT, because he KNOWS that her description will involve many wide arm motions and he'd rather not get hit.
...again
@@brianwhittle5331 His poor shoulder
@@makaylakraus1897 Well, what's left of it.
You mean "many *more* wide arm motions". He moves after she clenches a fist right in front of his face, giving him a physical reminder of what might be coming.
They both are impulsiveand have heavy hands. Liam sometimes gives power slaps in Marisha and last campaing he did it to Laura. To be fair one of the times she hit him (in the face) was due to him coming closer, but he is right, gotta protect the surgery.

"We should just cool our jets." - Cad invented jet engine technology canon.
Weirdly, I was looking up the history of the word 'jet' yesterday and it predates "jet plane" by hundreds of years. It meant "to spurt" or "something flowing fast", like "a jet of water." The jet propulsion engine involves "a rear-ward discharge of a jet of fluid" and jet planes were named after that. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
@@MmMm-sf7pe Thanks man, TIL!

Jester: *stunned for the next round*

The sounds that man csn make will never cease to amaze me... or disturb me
I'll never forget when on C1 he made a screech so high pitched for a manta ray like creature in the Underdark, Laura even winced and covered her ears.

Caleb being a bro and asking for a rest for Beau!
Seriously, Beau and Caleb has been my favorite duo in the party. All the development they both had together, from being assholes for different reasons to caring for each other and their party... Not to mention the tough and abrasive vs quiet and cunning dynamic. It's so good!
They are massively twatty. But only to each other.
It is a very nice dynamic IMO. i really like how Beau seems to see Caleb as the only person she can open up to/show vulnerability (Needing a rest, unease at their actions) since he is the only other regular human in a team that has/had multiple tieflings, a half orc, an Assamir and a goblin.
i noticed that too
@@sydney4814 she is very close to fjord too.
@@Chibipayne Personally I kinda dislike Fjord, ever since he used her being a "slave" as an excuse to physically/mentally abuse her nonstop..... the moment she can't hit him back he did some seriously messed up stuff to her.
I am always impressed by the range of voices that Matt can do. The Speak with the Dead moment was great for this.
That voice was fuckin wild. It made my skin crawl
It outsands me jphow well he can change from one voice to annother ! Especcially the guttural voices like this !!
Amazed what he did on the Hobgoblin. How many voices can this guy do? Matt is pure talent. Wow.
Amazing how Mercer remembers the voices for all the NPC.
He said in his DM tips that he writes small notes for each npc like "high pitched, shrill voice." "deep voice, texan accent." "slow speaker, stutter." etc. to help him quickly pick up and repeat whatever voice he attached to that character!
That is one of his many gifts as a dm

Matt: "Lets jump into tonight's episode of critical role."
Liam: *Dinosaur Noises*
I just realized, 'Fajar' command word to light up the orb (that Caleb's been holding) is the same as in Indonesian word that means dawn. Greetings from Indonesia!
Didn't he also say 'Tod' means 'death'? 'Cause that would be german...
Another Indonesian critter... Salam kenal
It’s actually töte.
@@isupposethisismynmw640 No, "töte" is "kill".
"Tod" is "death".
@Thej Yhome It's true nonetheless
If there was anyone in the M9 deserving of the name "Orphan-maker", that would be Caleb.
On the other hand, Nott makes sure to kill the baby first.
Andddd.... It just got dark.
It's even worse when you get the name for making yourself an orphan
Wooooaahhh....now that's what I call a sick "burn!!"

beau: literally beats wailing monstrosity to death, it splits in half and turns to ash

I mean I totally get it. Fighting Beau is a fucking badass, it's only when she opens her mouth that her disaster lesbian shows. 😂
Caduces: I'll go left
Jester: I'll go right
technically they both went the same way since they were facing each other 😂

Ori Gambardella for the two of them that would honestly make more sense lol
Lol I was thinking exactly the same thing
In case of colision, go to left.
Gaspar Díaz works for logistics as well as parental conflict in your teens
Thats what i was thinking
Laura is my fucking favorite. From the moment Matt starts the game, SHE. IS. JESTER. In her movements, the way she talks and reacts. Shes brilliant.
That’s when Vex suddenly teleports in.
I can't tell if the spell slot stinginess is Laura or Jester, though lol.
True, vex can sneak in for sure
@@TuberculosisRose Laura, its her vex
Most of them turn into their characters. I'd say Jester, Caleb and Cad stay the most in character
Fjord: come on Jester! Hiya!!
Jester: Yarnball wasn’t bred for sprinting AND DID YOU JUST HIYA ME?!?!
"Jester could leave something behind to scry through it"
Sam and Travis almost lost it as they were recalling "something" from campaign 1 :D
Poop scry 🤣🤣🤣
"And I take a massive dump on the guest bed" foreshadowing has never been better.
2:29:00 for my own reference for HOW CUTE LAURA IS GETTING THAT EXCITED ABOUT HER REAL LIFE HUSBAND'S FICTIONAL CHARACTER KISSING HER CHARACTER ON THE CHEEK!
02:28:42
Jester is stunned.
Thank you for time stamping this!
I love how Sam is always seated so perfectly so that the two candle lights behind him give him ears.
I honestly thought I was the only one who enjoyed that lol
I just love how often Laura has to stop and recompose herself, because of the absurd things she says and does.
"Can I punch bats?"
"YEAH you can punch bats!"
Why did that make me laugh so hard?
Because it's d&d!!!
the whole time i'm thinking, you can punch *ghosts* you can most certainly punch bats lol
Thinking on a critical scale isn't big on that particular player's plate, sadly.
@@u.s.s.chucklefucker1657 there's no reason for that, we're just having a giggle about bat punching over here
I think the hardest part about slowly catching up on this show is seeing all the merch and promos that are way old
Yeah, that has been painful since I first discovered Critical Role. And I am heartbroken that I didn't find out about the Vox Machina kickstarter until it was over.
So many things that they will never bring back or are ALWAYS out of stock.
Less junk to clutter up your place isn't a loss
Such amazing merch, sad that I had missed it 😓
It's torture
As an Australian, I just voted for Liam.
Lol
Way to vote with your Johnson, friend down under!
Well... as an Australian, I voted for Sam
As an Australian I felt like Sam had cast toll the dead.
To be fair though, the bugger was nailing the use of slang right up until the first billabong. And that timtam and vegemite sickened me. But isn't that what you want in a President? Someone who can bring people together and feel strongly for your country?
Matt is really good at doing that deep, growly, damaged-vocal-chords kind of voice.
"Just for fun, I'm gonna see what happens, if I turn invisible, if the bats go away."
*Laughing in sonar*
The bats aren't interested in invisible blood, it tastes worse.
Do the have the sonar on at all times? Pretty certain that the "bats are blind"-thing is a myth, so they might not use sonar just because one of many creatures they could attack went invisible.
Of course, I assume their regular screeching works for the sonar hearing, and I doubt they were silent during the fight, so they could probably have detected him, or at least some of them could. But you know, a swarm is kinda inherently unrealistic anyways, at least with the in-game mechanics.
It is a curious question I don't think anyone has really considered before, does making an object invisible affect taste? Would having the property of letting photons pass through you make the sensations of taste change at all? Photons are still kinda weird in physics, so maybe there could be some hidden connection between tastebuds and light?
@@dig8634 bats are completly blind i have no idea why invisibility worked (no invisible blood doesnt taste diffrent it's just not visible)
@@emiliocarretero5202 First of all, no
www.google.com/amp/s/www.livescience.com/amp/55986-are-bats-really-blind.html
Not blind, some can't even use echolocation and some even see ultraviolet which we can't.
Also, the taste thing is a joke. Don't know if you realized, but things can't turn invisible in the real world, so obviously any speculation on what effects invisibility has on you is pure fantasy. So in Matt's world, turning invisible might affect taste. Since smell can affect your tastebuds, why shouldn't sight and sound? I like the concept
Does sonar would work with 20 bats all over the place flapping wings in all sorts of direction and height and noises all over the place? It seems It would be just "white noise".
@@dsoul1305 Yes, it still works. They do live in caves and dark places with hundreds or thousands of other bats.
Travis's face when Liam said "that thing's crushing on you like an elven pirate." XD
Magic Missile at fivth level in mele range should be known as Magic Shotgun
Magic barrage, magic carpet bomb of unnecessary violence, magic overkill for the fact that you are to close to me and I don't like it when you do that?
Now when I do magic Missile I will describe me firing them from a gun
"Who was in this shop today?"
"I don't know..."
"How did all these dead bodies get here?"
"I DON'T KNOW I JUST WOKE UP AND THEY WERE HERE?"
great quote
The utter panic when Matt described and revealed The Lost was absolutely amazing. I can't wait for them to run into more Sorrowsworn
Absolute madlad who does CC for these. The attention to detail is astonishing. Making the effort to say “lifts the blanket” when Liam makes that godfather reference at 50:42
I just noticed this... and dug through the comments because I knew someone would have already mentioned it!!! :D
What I dig about Liam Obrien, is he figures out how to work different angles of relationships, and inject that into the narrative between the characters as they do have a breather after conflict.
I really appreciate the way he brings character interactions into all different moments and parts of gameplay.
*SAM*: "G'day down unda"
Laura: **DIES INSIDE**
Meanwhile Taliesin is in physical pain from the cringe
Australians: *DIE HORRIBLY INSIDE*
Kiwis: *Laugh hilariously at Sam's butchering of the Aussie accent.*
Australians: *Takes unlimited 15d6 of psychic dmg from vicious mockery*
So what I’m gathering is Yasha comes from a tribe of death metal goths.

I really want them to realize Charis rearranged spells CHAIRS!

@@nem0men_901 right? The wizard jst a puppet all along. Chair flys to his thrown of spindles (chair legs)
Can't be grappled, when grappled it collapses auto escaping the grapple.
I dont think Tallisan in all his millenia of living has ever looked so distressed and ashamed, and at the same time laughing his ass off, then with Sam's ... ahem... pitch perfect Australian accent started kicking in...
It's funny how Fjord acts confident and well-spoken when talking to NPCs but in combat, he's panicking whenever things go wrong for him, such as being grappled or getting cornered by a flipping turtle from a couple episodes ago lol
When you remember that The Gentleman is tracking the party and he knows that they are in the dynasty.
Diablopro 34 holy shit! You’re right!
He isnt necessarily tracking them, he takes the blood of everyone in case they cross him, he doesn't have the time to track everyone he has had dealings with.

Slang score: 6/10
Accent score: -2/10
Volume score: 9/10
Overall analysis: I'm moving to New Zealand.
I'd suggest that tinnie in that context would be a can of cab sav, which..... *shudders*
Suss it out, similar to havea squizz. To look at something.
@@jonanderson5137 "have a squizz"! Yes! Thats a great aussie saying XD
I read it in taliesins voice and it kind of sounded good
Hey thanks! Mind if I save this? I'm working on a book series where a pair of the characters have pseudo-Aussie accents (kind of a "this isn't set on Earth, but it's suspiciously familiar" type of deal). I've been using the slang sparingly because honestly a lot of it sounds very context specific, but I've been meaning to use more if the situation calls for it. Like a small hint that, yes, this character has this background. Although I have to admit I've kept the language to only one or two F-bombs per book...but rated R for 90s era violence and explosions.
“There a person” - GM
“Hey Caleb, kill them!!” - Jester
😂😂😂😂
Am I the only one who thought that the stone spires, and Taliesin’s comment amount them being from a creature, made them think of a “petrified” Tarrasque being buried under the Barbed Fields? Matt? Is it?
