Yasha's dream almost made me cry man Props to Ashley, of course, Yasha is an amazing character, but the day Mercer writes a book, as in, a ficcional story book, it's gonna be over for all of us
Yasha, once bound in shackles and shadows surrounded herself with friends and melodies and found the strength to break free. From the Orphan Maker to the Chain Breaker
I can already see it happen. They need to bannish the bbeg to some other dimension or something, they get them through the portal only the portal won't close, it requires a sacrifice of some sorts. They're arguing over who should jump through and seal the portal but time is running out and the bbeg is almost back, then out of nowhere sprinkle willingly (aka Jester or Veth just throw him in there) jumps through the portal sealing it.
the fact that they all audibly released the breaths that they had been holding while Matt was weaving out this beautiful dream just shows how enraptured they are with his storytelling, and how much respect they have for him to wait until he's finished talking before making any noise it's also so wonderful how much understanding the players and Matt have between the story and the characters, how this goes beyond a tabletop game and into a world where these characters are alive and complex and intricate as the players themselves, and how Matt builds them into the fictional universe rather than building the universe around them
I'm convinced that The Traveler has made Sprinkle invincible just so she wouldn't be upset if he actually died. I like to think that Artagan truly cares about Jester, a lot.
the first sign Sprinkle isn't what he seems is that he's a weasel who eats nuts, unless Yasha is sharing her bugs and maybe a small rodent when Jester isn't looking.
While Yasha's wings are going to be a gradual change, I really love the idea someone posited that her hair would start growing in white again and she could cut it short to rid herself of the black. EDIT: looks like I was wrong about it being gradual.
I feel so bad for Matt with them all making fun of Vokodo's name. One of two bbeg's in my last campaign was a wormlike demigod named Ovocomodoro. He was called the Avocado Worm by all my players....
My players had trouble pronouncing the name of a lich in my last campaign, so out of frustration I renamed him to Sweetpea instead. They never forgot his name after that.
@@actuallyhard315 One of the party members was a dragonborn named Khydaar Theriatanas and nobody ever forgot his name :( To be fair though, you're not wrong and I learned my lesson, no more strange/eldritch sounding names with this particular party.
I love how the entire group got so invested in Yasha’s dream. He really knows how to pull everyone in with his storytelling. what a great & lucky group
I was sobbing and screaming at my phone during Yasha’s dream. When she first said “I have to go” I thought she was going to Zuala and I was screaming for her to not go down and fly, just fly. And when she did, oh man. So much catharsis. I thought they were going to give us an art reveal like with Veth, and I was soooo disappointed we didn’t get new art.
Oh man, Yasha‘s dream was one of the most beautiful scenes in this campaign ♥️ I can‘t wait until she takes her first flight! The music you added made it even more emotional
Yashas dream sequence hit me harder than I thought it would tbh, and I teared up hard. The resonance of “letting go”, so you may soar. I loved every minute of it.
Forester for the win :P just kidding don't want to start any beef widojest is good as well bat I prefer Forester mostly because I would love to see Laura and Travis flirt with each other xD
@@Roiben100 I think that in one of talks episodes were Travis was alone he said that Laura flirting with him in game is working though if i am wrong i am sry and sad T_T
I do watch Talks and I dont remember this moment so you might be right however if it is working Fjord doesnt exactly portray it. Like at all. Its like he sees her as a sister and not as a potential partner. Its a shame and really disappointing.
That dream sequence is easily one of my favourite moments of the campaign. Matt is such a great story teller, but the cast are also amazing as their characters. I love them all
@@dndbasement2370 I've killed a players pet once, but it was in a system where they had fixed advantages and disadvantages, and one they had chosen was great destiny where they get to avoid death once per session. They did so, but were still in combat, and the big bad had noticed they weren't dead yet and would realistically coup de grace them next. that didn't really fit with the spirit of the advantage since it only delayed death for a round in this situation. But they had a cat that they had taught to wear specialty armor etc and had role played being basically a warrior cat. So, I turned to the player and asked, "Do you feel like I would be keeping to the spirit of the advantage if I had something happen that saved your character, so long as it made sense?" The player thought about it for a moment and said "yeah, tbh." And I said okay. And described their warrior cat attacking the BBEG before they could land the final blow on him. The BBEG flung the cat away and I rolled good for damage, it was pretty low. the cat was in rough shape but still technically alive, but the players when they went to move (the cat's player was unconcious) did something really really reckless and ended up basically finishing off the cat. The player was devastated, but didn't hold it against anyone, and went on to make a shrine to his guardian cat spirit in the game.
Matthew mercer has this way of explaining things, narrating them, showing you in just the perfect way what he sees in his mind's eye, and it's always breathtakingly incredible.
I’m 100% certain Matt would’ve made Veth take the disintegrate spell had Vokodo succeeded. Jester would be a good choice as well, but Veth would hurt Caleb more. She’s a second mother to Caleb, and had he been responsible for killing yet another mother figure, it would ruin him.
Considering how Veth has the ability to take no damage on dex attacks on a save and her massive dex save number, she and Beau would have been the safest people to target without killing anyone in the party. Veth probably would have hurt more though yeah
I've watched this many times. Yasha's dream always made me teary eyes. Everytime i watched it. I feel happy and sad at the same time. Thank you for this video.
Ok. Yasha dream.. Who is caught up to E118?. Does it look familiar to anyobe else right now. Yasha is a freak revorn soul. Who accepted her past and is getting all her memories back. This is what the Storm Lord has been guiding her towards. Ya'll this is epic.
It's pure joy watching everyone react to Yasha's journey. Everyone at that table is rooting for her. Ashley is the breakout of the second half of Campaign 2 IMO.
Sprinkle needs to get a kill at some point. If Jester gets a "How do you want to do this?" She should have Sprinkle run up to whatever they're facing and like bite it's jugular vein or eat an eye or something.
Will Sprinkle also disintegrate if Vokodo succeeded on its save on Caleb's Disintegrate and used its spell reflection then targeted it to Jester (assuming Jester failed on the save)
Since knowing about Zuala I alwase had a strong feeling she was alive but oh god after Yasha's dream I don't know any more. Like I still believe she is alive but does this dream confirm her death? I'm actually pritty concerned :,l
@@nevermindthecats6599 the reason I believe I think she is alive is becouae Yasha admitted she never saw her die, and in her wiki it doesn't say she is dead
@2:26 Dude. Is it the lighting, or does Laura Bailey work out? Either way, it is a fact that all the women of Critical Role can break a mothafucka in half.
We all know that he's undead at this point. He's been preparing his lich ritual in the xorhaus, succeeded and is a level 20 caster. He just casts dampen elements all the time and is waiting for the bbeg to appear. So he can loot jester when she's downed and start working with vecna or someone the like. Sprinkle is LE, twisted by unending horror, pain and humiliation
Is it weird that when laura and liam went Baltimore by say things like water and thank you i smiled cause laura saying it was cute and the covering of her mouth and the happyness in her face but the joke wasn't funny since lived in baltimore before and i live in maryland and thats normal for us. I wasn't really upset but its like having everyone else laugh when you talk normally thinking its funny that you use an accent when your just talking normally. hmm
@@calliecalamity8787 "I wasn't really upset" "hmm" as in I wasn't upset and was stating an opinion that I thought was interesting. I was hoping i didn't have to be literal in every word i say so that people can understand that i wasn't upset and thought it was interesting and had an opinion. Thank you for your comment. Have a good day. :D
Liam’s choice to drop all accent when speaking Zemnian is SO GOOD but every time it happens it throws me off so badly 😂
It already happened in the conversation with Astrid, hadn't it?
Siiboxic Yep! And the convo with the Scrouger prisoner.
Which episodes has it happened in?
@@sammy431 I love how Matt does 2 different voices during the conversations too
"I cast Tongues on Jester"
*careless whisper sax starts playing*
god tier comment
th-cam.com/video/-istquWjZ8M/w-d-xo.html
I agree with this
I didn't know that was the name of that song until now, but still heard the right thing in my head.
Nico Neilson I was thinking the same thing.
Zualla: "I'm proud of you."
Travis, Laura, Ashley, Marisha and Sam: *Instant watery eyes*
I started crying too so I don’t blame them 😅
nothing could hold back my tears ;-;
From Fallen Aasimar to Protector Aasimar? Would Matt allow such a change? It would be cool for the narrative.
Jacob de Vries iirc that’s like a big part of the race that they can fall and achieve redemption
And the audience.
Every time Caduceus uses Eyes of the Grave Sprinkle lights up like a christmas tree, but he never brings it up with Jester smh
I love the little "I dont have an accent" because in Caleb's mind he doesn't, that is just how he speaks.
It's not in his mind, his native language is Zemnian, so he doesn't have an accent when speaking Zemnian, not one anyone not-Zemnian could recognize anyway.
Caduceus: "I cast Eyes of the Grave." "You detect an undead aura around Jester's neck..."
Nnnooooooo...
...but for real.
Yasha's dream gave me emotional whiplash.
Yasha's dream almost made me cry man
Props to Ashley, of course, Yasha is an amazing character, but the day Mercer writes a book, as in, a ficcional story book, it's gonna be over for all of us

That’s a waaaaay better nickname!
Sprinkle is probably going to kill the bbeg because that ferret is immortal
Sprinkle is our only hope
nah, he IS the bbeg.
Sprinkle is 100% the bbeg
He has to be the bbeg lol
I can already see it happen.
They need to bannish the bbeg to some other dimension or something, they get them through the portal only the portal won't close, it requires a sacrifice of some sorts.
They're arguing over who should jump through and seal the portal but time is running out and the bbeg is almost back, then out of nowhere sprinkle willingly (aka Jester or Veth just throw him in there) jumps through the portal sealing it.
"The accent , it's cute" hes says. it's CUTE he says. He loves Jester so much
the fact that they all audibly released the breaths that they had been holding while Matt was weaving out this beautiful dream just shows how enraptured they are with his storytelling, and how much respect they have for him to wait until he's finished talking before making any noise

I’m glad fjord casts water breathing on sprinkle every day so he’s fine. Unless he really is a Revenant.
I'm convinced that The Traveler has made Sprinkle invincible just so she wouldn't be upset if he actually died. I like to think that Artagan truly cares about Jester, a lot.
@@yshrivera oh, if only you knew...
The only thing more awesome than Caleb peeling Vokodo's cap back was Yasha's dream sequence.
My eyes instantly watery as soon as Matt said "it's a feeling you've not felt in a while... like you could go anywhere."
I lost it at "I have to go"
the first sign Sprinkle isn't what he seems is that he's a weasel who eats nuts, unless Yasha is sharing her bugs and maybe a small rodent when Jester isn't looking.
Matt’s thunderstorm noises are so good!
Caleb: "I don't have an accent."
Laura: _mind visibly grinding to a halt_
Well, I most definitely teared up over Yasha's dream, and Ashley's reaction to it. I wonder if she'll get a character redesign soon.
I just imagine her opening her Dndbeyond next Thursday to find that Matt has tweaked it and changed her to a Protector Aasimar as a result of this
@@wolfybat3335 oh no 💗😭

Great clips 😂 so excited for the next episode now that guacamole is gone. I wonder what type of people are in the village 🤔
YES thats my biggest concern
@@NicoNeilson my biggest concern and curiosity
The fact that Matt said multiple times that some of the people on the island were pirates makes me very worried.

In a recent Talks Machina, Matt confirmed that his first thought was Caleb, but then switched it to Jester just after.
That’s so evil, I like it
"The Revenant Weasel" would be a great name for a ship.

Pact of the Undying
Will Sprinkle also disintegrate if Vokodo succeeded on its save on Caleb's Disintegrate and used its spell reflection then targeted it to Jester (assuming Jester failed on the save)
As far as i know, disintegrate disintegrates the target creature and the nonmagical objects it's wearing. Other creatures should be unaffected.
so damn he'd still survive
@@heidibermudez2072 unless he's already dead and therefpre just a weasel corpse in jester's inventory, then it would be disintegrated.
