    Fun fact: they deliberately left most of the episode without music (aside from flashbacks and combat) so it contributes to the uneasy feeling throughout, and when that music comes in at the end, it hits super hard because of that.

    Watching this moment in the campaign was so nuts, Laura rolled a NATURAL 1 for the dex save, 56 frigging points of necrotic damage. Matt just looked up seriously and asked "does that bring you below zero?" And you see Laura's mouth fall open in shock as the realization hits her and the rest of the table all at once...they were literally making jokes about Vex dying seconds before they realized how serious it actually was 😭

    They're Half-Elves, this is a pretty common occurrence for half-elves since they fit neither with their human family (it's always a mixture of human and elf) or their elf family as their personalities often reflect both but they also live longer than humans and shorter than elves so they of fit in nowhere

    That entire ending was so freaking sad, both the final flashback and Vax's breakdown absolutely broke me. And it was a completely preventable accident, too. Also, something is not right with that sword. It's messing with Grog's head, and I don't like it.

In the campaign, during the Briarwood arc, Vax was toying with becoming a follower of the Everlight, even sewing her symbol into his glove to see if it affected vampires.

    This was exactly as heartbreaking as I expected it to be. No, actually more so. I saw the title of the episode, I was bracing for it the entire time, clocked every piece of foreshadowing and it still hit me like a freight train. Liam fucking O'Brien. He has spent (at least) 8 years perfecting the art of making Critters cry. Hearing him _SOBBING_ his fucking heart out with a teeny tiny baby Vax _crying_ on screen and that *music* and the fact that he and Laura are as good as siblings in real life and... I've seen this scene two dozen times at this point. I still tear up. Every. God. Damned. Time.

    That ending is heartbreaking, every time. Vax running for his sister in terror, cutting to the flashback of tiny Vax, scared and alone in the woods, running to hug her as close as he can, terrified of losing the one person he has in his life. She doesn’t need him, but he needs her. The cuts to Vax crying and pleading for her to not leave, to still be alive, with the flashbacks of tiny Vax holding on to her for dear life, and her hugging back, promising not to leave him again. And then finally, just silence, cut only by his sobbing. A lot of the time I find tv crying unrealistic, but I can genuinely feel these sobs in my chest. Just… ugly, broken sobs. Props to Liam O’Brien for wonderful voice work. He always manages to break my heart, and this time is no different.
    (Also props to Laura Bailey for Vex’s death rattle there in the end, that last gasp of air leaving her as she died. That was good and heartbreaking.)

    Love your reactions thus far, As far as Scanlan goes though.

Enjoy :)

      Yeah Scanlan is actually probably my least favorite character of his...well, maybe second least. Taryon was a little boring and obnoxious (even more than Scanlan), but he also had hidden depths.
      I don't necessarily hate Scanlan the way she does, but compared to Nott and FCG, he can't compete.
      However, it's still hard to hear her hoping for his death so much because I love Sam and respect his character development so much!

      @@sandpiperr Scanlan is Sam's first character, and it really shows. It's honestly pretty clear who the long time players were vs. the first time players based on character alone. While I have a soft spot for VM since it's where I started watching, the character work didn't really start to hit until halfway through the Briarwood arc. It's allowed for a much more mature storytelling style that has only grown stronger through the subsequent campaigns.

    Something that was pointed out during the cast watch-along: there is absolutely no music in the background for this episode aside from the flashback scenes, the fight scenes, and the final scene. They did this consciously to add a sense of unease and foreboding to the episode: a sense that something was off, wasn't quite right, but that most of the audience wouldn't catch ... just feel for some reason. I think it worked really well.

  • @targetdreamer257

    "You guys suck"
    That is kind of a stand in for Matt Mercer (the DM). He is usually the one that does all the NPC but this time in the Live Play Zahra and Kashaw were guest players. Matt comes up with all the lore and the names and all that stuff. Well he does weave in the character's backstories and all they choices they make. But came up with Purvan. It sounded good in his head. All their reaction to the name was practically lifted from the game.
    Then there is the beard. The belt is Belt of Dwaven kind. It makes you hardier, gives you a better chance when you interact with dwarves, and give you a 50% chance to grow a beard. In the lore Grog's kind don't grow hair. Travis Willingham (Grog) got the belt some time ago (from this point in time) and kept rolling to see if he got a beard in the morning. This went one for like three or four session. In the end Grog is practically the only Goliath that has facial hair.
    Vex and Zahra, it's not necessarily flirting, maybe a little, but it is more that their personality are very similar. So it is like that thing where someone annoys you but you still like them.

    Ironically, Craven Edge was originally drawn to Percy, who after his experience with Orthax palmed it off onto Grog - Grog being too dumb to fool, as the tropers say, is why Craven Edge is marginally safer in his hands than in anyone else's: his simple-minded nature prevents the sword from being able to manipulate him with anything other than offerings of increased strength, since he already is The Big Guy of the team and lacks the ambition or cunning to betray or trick his comrades - mostly. Travis has said during a Q&A that Grog doesn't even realize Craven Edge is trying to corrupt him, he just thinks it's a cool sword that happens to talk. (He treats it like a kid would treat a battle-effects Lightsaber toy.)

      I think he was one of the less experienced players when it comes to DnD. His characters in later campaigns are incredible tho. He also is the best advertiser because his methods are the simple yet effective "bizarre skit he came up with last week" "other people at the table do surprise participation whether they enjoy it or not" "Skit halts for a bit character to read word for word what the company sent Sam him to read." then "skit concludes".
      Highlights include making his friends act in a radio play and sneaking in all the fart sound effects for laura's character, and while Laura and Travis were absent because of the birth of their first child, "'reenact" that birth and matt plays the baby who gives the ad-read with an adult sounding voice.

    3:15 - *“I love Pike and Grog's friendship!”*
    You must have loved it when the show went into their backstory, later in the season.
    6:10 - _"You guys suck."_
    That was Matt, when he relayed the background information on Purvan Suul, and the table's reaction was… well, _this._
    Yet another in a _looong_ series of "I hate you all so much" moments.
    6:58 - *“The pure elation and joy! He's like, ‘I've got a beard!’ ”*
    It's a bigger thing for him than for others, since Goliaths (called "half-giants" in the show, because copyright) cannot normally grow facial hair. The Belt of Dwarvenkind has other good attributes, but _this_ is the important one. 😁
    8:22 - *“Diluted?”*
    Yeah, it's another way of saying, "I fucked a human peasant woman and skedaddled before I knew that I knocked her up, and now I'm making it _everyone's_ problem, but especially yours!" - which is, of course, just a _longer_ way of saying, "I'm a piece of garbage."

    Vax has rhe best nicknames for his best friends. He calls pike pickle. He calls his sister stubby because she's barely shorter than him. And keyleth is Kiki. He calls grog big guy and scanlan is scanman. The only person I don't think he gives a nickname to is percy but he uses his full name Percival.

    Vex actually comes back as a Revenant. A sort of immortal half undead kind of creature. I mean she can still die, but she just keeps coming back no matter what. It's a whole plotpoint at one point where she gets choked to death by a satyr in exchange for a favour.

    In the show Vex and Zahra have serious exes vibes and the hate flirting is totally a thing.
    Meanwhile in the campaign Vex and Zahra met and had a little bit of rivalry then bonded over their shared daddy issues whilst on watch, then Zahra truly won Vex over by talking to trinket with her warlock at will speak with animals and by the end of the first or second session with them both they were best friends still with quite a lot of flirting, Zahra's tail truly has a mind of its own and that mind takes great joy in smacking Vex. Zahra also made arrows for Vex throughout the campaign as well and she was the first one there when Vex died, I think she also helped out in another resurrection ritual because it was important to Vex and I'm pretty sure if they both wanted them their kids would be the about same age too and probably grow up as honorary cousins just as any vox machina kids would (they'd also totally both name a kid after each other in some capacity)

    Their reaction to Purvan's name was exactly like this, except out of character. Grog's belt is good for warrior types, has a *chance* of the wearer growing a beard (regardless of gender) and allows them to read dwarven... but he's too dumb to read, so. One night, Vax got Grog very drunk, then shaved off *half* the beard as he slept. When Grog realised what had happened, he tried to fill it in by smearing charcoal across that side of his face; it looked awful, so Scanlan illusioned the missing half back.
    The sarcophagus was trapped. Touching the armour triggered a wave of death energy. Taliesin rolled high enough to avoid it, but Laura rolled a natural one, and the damage put Vex below 0hp. Instakill. There's nothing to heal. She's dead.

    Keep in mind this is from a d&d game originally so people can and will die. Its been a while but i think there's at least 5 deaths in critical role as a whole, maybe more. I have not seen all of campaign 2 and 3. When it happens a little down the line there will be a new character. Like say a moss and mildew loving 7 foot tall hippy might replace someone. I mean that's just a random example.

      Specifically a very powerful death magic that causes you to 💀 if you go below zero hit points.
