    Hey everyone, full transparency this one was a bit of a rush job. Some lines were cut, artistic liberties were taken, but wanted to get the video out before Christmas. Hope you enjoy the video nonetheless. Hope you all have a merry Christmas and happy holidays!

    Travis took the "disgruntled Santa's elf" role a lot further than you'd possibly imagine it going in a one-shot.
    Played it masterfully too, the villainous speeches were on-point and he managed to incorporate many jokes and references.

      the whole run up to it, Julie Nathanson's reaction, Ashley and Travis whispering, snickering, Ashley holding the secret but Travis cracking up so hard that Matt catches on and gives him the "I've got my eyes on you" signal, lmao... OMG, this was something ELSE to see as it happened, hahaha... One of my all time favoriate villainous moments from all Critical Role content! Ellory/Julie, "This is the OPPOSITE of what we are supposed to be doing!!!" as Chut is ruining Christmas for the fanfic writer elf, lmao.

      @@lucasbrautigam6781 It's the same character. I forgot he changed a vowel in the name, but it's the same character. Some of his history was modified to fit the current world instead of the xmas one shot, but it's the same guy. Same class, same tools/weapons, same attitude, same voice, basically the same name, the same backstory. It's the same character.
      There are a few other points I could make, but I don't want to spoil the one shot if you or anyone else hasn't seen it. But it's definitely the same character.
      I have a feeling that Travis is going to be playing one shot characters he's used in the past and they'll all end up dying throughout the campaign. I think this group of characters is going to deal with a lot of death this time around. If they're lucky, it'll be like Bertrand and they won't be too attached for it to hurt too much, but these guys are great actors and I imagine they'll portray that impact in their characters. I'm expecting good stuff this campaign.

    I wrote this right after watching this special for the first time: to the Tune of Frosty the Snowman
    Chutney Choco-cane
    Was an ornery ol'e elf
    With a hentai whip and a chisel pick
    And his heart left on a shelf
    Chutney Choco-cane
    Made his toys of wood and clay
    But was he surprised when
    Before his eyes
    Circuitry had claimed the day
    There must have been some poison
    In that cocoa cup he'd foun'
    For after he'd had his first sip
    He began to plot at dawn
    Chutney Choco-cane
    Was as sure as he could be
    With his chisel pike
    And a hammer strike
    He could kill the Claus, Sandy
    Down from the North Pole
    With his Chisel in his hand
    Hiding here or there or among stuffed bears
    Saying, "Time to be a man"
    He led them up, to bug filled butt
    To pass the cube he hopped
    And he only paused a moment when
    He'd heard the bleeding'd stopped
    Chutney Choco-cane
    Had to hurry on his way
    He'd failed his try
    To kill that fat guy
    And for now, his crime he'll pay
    Stabbity, Stab, Stab
    Stabbity, Stab, Stab
    Look how Chutney dies
    Stabbity, Stab, Stab
    Stabbity, Stab, Stab
    What is that that rise?
    Stabbity, Stab, Stab
    Stabbity, Stab, Stab
    Hollow One that cries
    Stabbity, Stab, Stab
    Stabbity, Stab, Stab
    Chutney claims his prize
    Chutney Choco-cane
    Had a rib or two or three
    With gleam in eye
    Sequel worth a try
    Yells, "I'll get you yet Sandy!"
    I will get you yet Saaaaaaaaaaa-ndy!
    Stabbity, Stab, Stab
