I love the reaction shot to "You can eat anything if you are determined enough." Beau and Jester are kinda concerned for Caleb, but Molly and Yasha are completely unfazed.
Considering one has eaten spiders before that doesn't shock me that she'd not give a damn. And molly is certainly that 'try anything once' kind of guy.
@@roderickwalt2969 I don't know if this is true but I saw a post a long time ago from someone asking an archaeologist that question and she replied with "about 500 years" of course this is assuming the body is not in an active graveyard or cemetery.
Its every D&D group. I has a group that had a legendary staff, that allowed the wielder to look into the past or future (almost no other way to do so accurately) They just casually threw it around to each other. Rolled horribly, and broke it (It was magical, but also fragile, since its old as fuck)
@@bigfatcarp93 yeah, so? I suspect their trafficking victims are from all over the empire and beyond. The shackles stood out about them. Might have been Matt foreshadowing since he said he was building Lorenzo as their first recurring villain.
"There comes a point where it's a skeleton and not an actual dead person" Coming from the same player who plays Caduceus Actually, do you think Molly and Cad would get along? I think they would
They asked Tal that at a con once (possibly more than once...), he thought that Cad's response would be along the lines of "you're kind of a LOT"... I'm pretty sure Molly would have a great time messing with Clay, though.
@@estoy1001 I feel like their differences would definitely result in an interesting dynamic. I hope by some means, cad at least gets introduced to molly. If only to watch Taliesen Rp it.
"you can eat anything if you're determined enough" "... That is also true" I love how out the nein don't feel like a team, they feel like a family. Just small discussions about random topics to pass the time
At 3:48 I for some reason love the part where molly is quickly putting on his cloak to follow fjord. IDK it makes me feel like "yeah. He's a person. Who doesn't wear The same clothes all the time" I camt really explain my feeling
This was really good! I like your use of close-ups/scene direction, and the little details like some of the background noises (floor creaking, the barkeeper cleaning the glass) or Molly's ears' twitch when his partying-senses were tingling. Nice work!
I love how Caleb's like "You can eat anything if you're determined enough!" And Molly, the one he was debating with, was the first to agree. Also man, I miss that Irish twang...
Everytime there's Molly, i'd always think of how laid back he is. I thought that he wouldn't wear his coat in the morning compared to Fjord who already in his gear. So when he rushed outside wearing his coat, it's a happy accident and a fun one to draw~
Easiest answer: Humanoid remains. Nice and all encompassing. Is it a corpse? Yes its deceased remains. Is it a skeleton? Yes, its deceased remains. Easiest flow chart for anyone to follow.
and lo, 4 minutes is all that's needed to depict everyone's character. Exposition-wise, amazing work animating, and boy, are the cr cast amazing actors. Kudos!
New perspective when Nott says she’s been to small festivals. Context changes and makes you realize what memories she is recalling. Probably painful considering how heartbroken remembering those good times probably was. But it definitely makes me appreciate all the subtle hints to her portrayal and later backstory reveal later.
I watch a lot of animatics and am aware of how difficult these things are to make and just finishing a minute of something understandable is already impressive... But bOI. That audio??? Holy heckle de dee on TOP of such an animated rendition of the characters with the smallest hints given of the roleplay AND an art style I am in love w??? I feel so blessed during this quarantined time where I still have to show up for work and I thank you. So so much for this fantastic work.
3:183:43 i love how dramatic the setting is. You got a good sense for these! And the close-up on Nott when she was dropping hints! xD Beautiful style and the movements and angles, aaaa love it!
Hey! Great work with the composition! Also love your cuts You have a good sense of direction, I'll give you that as well Overall amazing job, even with the hiccups you mentioned on the description
I'm so relieved to hear the tragic news about Mollymauk BEFORE I started following the series, which is because I've grown to love that character so much that my heart would be really broken if I only heard it afterwards. Now at least I'm prepared and I'm just really sad that he's gone so soon. Fortunately, he still lives in our hearts and imaginations. Long may he reign!
Saw your pragmatic thoughts today, so I wanted to come back to this video to let you know that it's my favorite of any critical role animation ive seen! Between your editing of the clips, your choice of sound effects, and the animation itself, it really brings the scenes to life with a very slice-of-life sort of feel. Your animation is super charming too, I especially like Jester leaving her shading behind in excitement at 1:07 . Great stuff!
You really captured their personalities perfectly! And I'm so glad you included so much dialog! I just started this episode for the first time and I knew I had seen an animatic of this interaction in my recommendations so I had to pause the episode and watch this immediately. Was not disappointed!!
I wouldn't even call it "Early Days Mighty Nein" but these relaxing "Everyday" moments the Nein get up to every once in a while are so precious... Even more so than Vox Machina, partly because we met them higher level, but also because many of them had higher standing than most people, the Nein feel like they are more comfortable sitting in the more quotidian part of life even as they grow in esteem and power
I wonder if there even was an answer. After all, they could have easily just not have ever found it; Matt probably just put it in there once they decided to go in. It doesn't smack of being an intended plot hook. Then again, I don't know how much Matt has planned out; perhaps there were several potential plot hooks the party just never bit into.
Troodon It’s possible it was just flavor, like the crab Nott got in a fight with. Kiri was meant to be just flavor to show the dangers of the area, but they ended up adopting her for a while
I love your animations! I came across the channel from the modify memory vid, and the time and effort really show in the quality! Keep up the good work >:)
This is lovely!! I love the fact that their actions have sound and that the audio pauses to accommodate that - Make them all the more real!! Keep up the great work, this is amazing!!! :D
This is GORGEOUS OMG 😍 I love it when people add the ambient sounds and environments, and this one is so well done! You truly captured every single one of them as characters. Thank you for this 😭💖
Even nott wears her mask . . .
"Fjord! FJORD! DON'T YOU DARE HAVE FUN WITHOUT US!!"
*proceeds to roll 3 nat ones in a row for throwing sandbags*
@@ChangelingWaves i forgot about that! and then Nott nails archery and Yasha's back and forth arm wrestle.
I miss Molly ;-;, Caduceus has his shine and is an enjoyable character but I prefer Molly over the two.
I miss him so much. 😭 Long may he reign.
I love cadeuces so much but damn do I miss Molly
"You can eat anything if you're determined enough."
Fjord has left the conversation.
Like at the fish market
The #1 sword swallower
He literally ate like three rocks. He knows first hand that anything can be eaten.
Molly: no you don't
-Fjord was added to the chat-
Molly- “Well, yes, but. Um.”
Taliesin was so adamant about knowing if it was a dead body he became a goddamn Grave Cleric.
I love the reaction shot to "You can eat anything if you are determined enough." Beau and Jester are kinda concerned for Caleb, but Molly and Yasha are completely unfazed.
Considering one has eaten spiders before that doesn't shock me that she'd not give a damn. And molly is certainly that 'try anything once' kind of guy.
they've both been circus poor, they get it
In Molly's own words: "The difference between being in a carnival and not being in a carnival."
You can eat anything at least once.
Molly and Yasha are like: "...........y'know he's got a point"
"Peoples weddings..." Not subtle at all and yet no one asks.
Right???
It's so good too! Like why would goblins need to harvest or plant? They pillage, not farm!
I LITERALLY DIDN'T REALIZE THAT UNTIL JUST NOW.
O H GOD
Could someone explain? I dont get it
My sister studied archaeology and she said its still a body
Yeah but is it a dead person still
But at what point would it be considered archeology rather than grave robbing to loot the skeleton
@@roderickwalt2969 If anyone really cares about or knew the person or their family well enough to be offended by looting the skeleton.
Yeah but can you eat it?
@@roderickwalt2969 I don't know if this is true but I saw a post a long time ago from someone asking an archaeologist that question and she replied with "about 500 years" of course this is assuming the body is not in an active graveyard or cemetery.
you draw a very attractive Molly and my thirst for him has reawakened
my thirst for Molly never really left, I miss that tiefling so much
Caleb too, he's really good looking in the video
I enhance the thirst!
He was always fabulous, that's fair
@@erin8050 I'm a sucker for stuble
Just casually uses an extremely rare and important artefact.
Mighty Nein everyone.
KingSkelett rewatching the series and seeing them take what is essentially bong rips from a holy artifact makes the scenes so much funnier now.
I mean, a group I'm in uses a sphere of annihilation to power the town's sewer system
We once used an indestructible artefact like a hammer to destroy a cursed artefact. 🤷♀️ PCs will do the weirdest thing with important magical items.
Its every D&D group.
I has a group that had a legendary staff, that allowed the wielder to look into the past or future (almost no other way to do so accurately)
They just casually threw it around to each other. Rolled horribly, and broke it (It was magical, but also fragile, since its old as fuck)
They carried a PIECE OF A GOD in a pink haversack
They never did find out what those skeletons where from
I KNOW RIGHT!!!!
@@Deelusi They came from the owner's closet, duh! :)
I suspect they're from the iron sheperds.

God I like molly, and taliesin he's like a book that had its pages torn out and scattered in disarray.
TORN LIKE MY HEART
Dear, sweet, Molly....
I miss Molly. Every time i think im over this, i watch something with Molly and im not over!
*throws a sobby tantrum*
Long may he reign.
Unpopular opinion: I don't like Molly.
I've never thought that Sam was dropping hints way back in episode 17
Its further back then that buddy
Way back in Episode one.
Episode one "Maybe it's not a goblin, maybe it's a little halfling person"
*d o i s p e a k h a l f l i n g*
Explain?
Group: *talking about random shit*
Caleb for the second time: "did you guys know theres a dead person in the basement."
This feels like a cold open to an animated episode... I LOVE IT
Cuts into the intro right at Molly saying, "That's a very fair point," and then walking after Fjord. XD
It does have a very b99 energy about it, now that you mention it
Fjorshadowing....
"There comes a point where it's a skeleton and not an actual dead person"
Coming from the same player who plays Caduceus
Actually, do you think Molly and Cad would get along? I think they would
They asked Tal that at a con once (possibly more than once...), he thought that Cad's response would be along the lines of "you're kind of a LOT"...
I'm pretty sure Molly would have a great time messing with Clay, though.
@@estoy1001 I feel like their differences would definitely result in an interesting dynamic. I hope by some means, cad at least gets introduced to molly. If only to watch Taliesen Rp it.
I'm sure they would NOW, what with Molly creating psychedelic tea.
I think they'd get along great, but Duces would absolutely be overwhelmed by Molly's... Molly-ness at first.
@@nicholasfotou2980 Everyone's tired of Matt having conversations with himself, so they let Tal do it.
"you can eat anything if you're determined enough"
"... That is also true"
I love how out the nein don't feel like a team, they feel like a family. Just small discussions about random topics to pass the time
"What was her NAME?" with the moving speech bubble cracked me up!
Oh man, I just realized Molly’s ears twitched when he was listening for Fjord leaving. The details are amazing in this animation.
At 3:48 I for some reason love the part where molly is quickly putting on his cloak to follow fjord. IDK it makes me feel like "yeah. He's a person. Who doesn't wear The same clothes all the time" I camt really explain my feeling
makes characters feel more like real people rather than action figures with voices
@@tatltails3923 yes exactly thank you!
I never thought of this as something that happened in canon. I imagined it as just a debate in the cast. This is fun, I like it like this.
They used character's names like "I agree with Nott", so I took that to mean that they intended it as character conversations.
Also their character voices
Molly's ear wiggle at 3:46 absolutely slayed me
I knew this was gonna be great, well done! I love how playful the animation is, and Caleb patting Nott on the head is so sweet!
Thank you for believing in me 😘
@@Deelusi Of course, your very talented!
"Fjord! Dont you dare have fun without us!" - I miss Molly...
Molly running and putting on his coat I'M SCREM
This just makes me miss Molly more
_why’d you have to go, Molly?_
Lorenzo.
@@Sirius10117 ouch
@@starvingartist733 said Molly after he got stabbed.
@@boopydoopy9156 You! I like you.
@@Sirius10117 thanks! Most people don't.

Thank you!!!
I love how Caleb's like "You can eat anything if you're determined enough!" And Molly, the one he was debating with, was the first to agree.
Also man, I miss that Irish twang...
Fjord:Are you up
Beau: Nooo.
I feel that
Ah god, this video brings back so many memories of the bisexual god known as Mollymauk
May he laugh at the groups hilarious adventures in the heavens
Best line "Don't you dare have fun with out us!"
This is so beautiful and absolutely hilarious, I love the way you draw Molly and his getting his coat on action!
Everytime there's Molly, i'd always think of how laid back he is. I thought that he wouldn't wear his coat in the morning compared to Fjord who already in his gear. So when he rushed outside wearing his coat, it's a happy accident and a fun one to draw~
I love how Jester is immediately like. "Fjord!!!" when she hears its him, to the point she stops from playing with Beau
I’m sure there are still plenty of new critters so I’ll avoid spoilers, but it is going back to happier times in the story, and your Molly is great.
Double spoiler warning at this point with the latest episode lmao.
Easiest answer: Humanoid remains. Nice and all encompassing. Is it a corpse? Yes its deceased remains. Is it a skeleton? Yes, its deceased remains. Easiest flow chart for anyone to follow.
I believe that the technical term would be "Remains."
Or cadaver, corpse, carcass, lots of words means dead thing! OwO its like people wanted to sound special so they made words that mean the same thing
Molly rushing out the door to catch up is my favorite part of this scene.
Same 🥰
Molly: "Its a skeleton and not a dead person"
Cad: "I feel like if we just got them a spot, like with some nice soil, they would make a great tea"
I love the small details you have like Molly's ears wiggling slightly at some points
Didn't realize how kinda flirt blocky Fjord was hahaha
YOU DRAW JESTER SO CUTE AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH!
and lo, 4 minutes is all that's needed to depict everyone's character. Exposition-wise, amazing work animating, and boy, are the cr cast amazing actors. Kudos!

I am currently watching this campaign for the first time, the bits with Molly really pull at my heartstrings
"you can eat anything if you're determined enough" said the poor hobo
0:24 A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON
"If you can't eat the body anymore its not a person" xD
"You can eat anything. If you're determined enough."
Very nice emphasis when Nott mentions being at a wedding :) Another sign of the long game Sam was playing.
Caleb- "You can eat anything if you're determined enough"
*silent judgments*
I love your art and how you animated all this! Also, Molly!!! I miss him so much...
"If you can't eat the body anymore then it's not a person."
I think I got that in a fortune cookie, once. =)
honestly one of the best critical role scenes of all time it just radiates natural good energy all around
The snap zoom on Nott's face when she says "people's weddings" I CANT-
Jester's growl 1:04 is one of the best things in this world. Followed almost immediately with her enthusiastic "Fjord!" right afterwards! XD
3:27
Taliesin essentially saying that a dead body is not useful
11 episodes later he makes tea out of them
I watch a lot of animatics and am aware of how difficult these things are to make and just finishing a minute of something understandable is already impressive...

As one playing a Circle of Spores druid, every lifeform has its uses.
Even when dead and rotting.

I love how Molly’s ears twitch slightly before fjord leaves the building
Those little sound effects of Jester focusing on the beacon and at the very end when the ale and coin were put on the table made things *cheff's kiss*
Hey! Great work with the composition! Also love your cuts
You have a good sense of direction, I'll give you that as well

The "raaaaah...." Jester is too adorable. I can't take it!
Love your art style. Jester looks freaking adorable. Yasha looks amazing. Molly and Caleb arguing, the faces are so good XD
Gods I miss Molly
But I also love Caduceus to bits
This was wonderfully put together btw

Molly's ear twitch after Fjord left just captured my heart
Fjord nope-ing his way out of ridiculous conversations gives me life.

The family dynamic is so god damn strong
Molly pulling on his robe while yelling at Fjord not to have fun without them was peak perfection
Amazing! Amazing! Can't belive it taken me this long to find it
Better late than never!
Molly's ear twitch 😳❤️
holy shit. This is so good omg. The sound design, music, and unique animation makes this all feel so, real. I love this

It was only really Percy and Keyleth who came from higher standing. While twins' father was influential, they were treated worse for being half-elves.

I wonder if there even was an answer. After all, they could have easily just not have ever found it; Matt probably just put it in there once they decided to go in. It doesn't smack of being an intended plot hook. Then again, I don't know how much Matt has planned out; perhaps there were several potential plot hooks the party just never bit into.

I am offended by how handsome you made Molly, this is not allowed
The little detail you added of Molly’s ears wiggling is so cute! Like a fun “Spider sense” 😆 I really miss him. Great animation!
Thank you Caramel!
I super enjoy animations like this, where it's just the voices of what is said and all the narration is translated into the video.
“That is also a very fair point” lost it
Loving the dramatic zoom on Nott when she talks about weddings
I love the pause after Caleb says, "You can eat anything if you are determined enough." And Molly's "That is also a very fair point," is perfect. lol
This was very cute! Good work friend
This was great! :)
And makes me miss Molly so much
I think this might be one of my favourite CR animatics. Nice art style, great interpretation of events. Just pretty awesome.
I'm glad you liked it :)
