regular human: take the axe out and heal the victim Goblin: ask if they want the axe out or to just keep it there *THIS IS OBVIOUS PROOF THAT THEY ARE CELESTIAL BEINGS*
Their reaction to this is like when someone gets a nosebleed; "oh crap, you're bleeding" "plug your nose and lean your head back--" "isn't it lean forward?" "aw shit its everywhere now"... "oh well"
I had this exact scenario in the middle of an exam and let me tell you, it seems like there should be more than 8 pints of blood in my body with how much got on the table
guy's on the ground, slowly dying with an axe imbedded in his skull and this goblin come sup and asks him if he wants it removed and then someone drags him by his ankles. This is some Walking Dead/Glenn shit right here.
Nott looks adorable and yester looks like a mix of cute and hot. Not sure why those are the words I can find to describe their depictions QwQ Great work also! 👍 the scene feels very alive
The healer in my campaign just joined the group, we were all so relieved to finally have a healer around. She hasn't healed anyone once and last session she panicked when she got low on health and started asking us for help to be met with a resounding ...YOU'RE the healer.
Also our tank stays back and uses her bow most of the time... And the ranger does not. The other members of the group are an alchemist and a blood hunter. I have no idea if they're doing what their classes usually do but they kick ass so I assume they're doing it right.
This reminds me of a running gag my friends and i have when we play a game with healers/medics but they're bad at it. (Medic goes down) "Medic!" "That _was_ the medic!"
I really love all of your animations!!! The way you draw all of them looks fantastic and there's so much personality and life in it!!! Not to mention that your art style is just absolutely gorgeous!
I choose to live in a world where they healed him, but the axe melded to his head and became a permanent part of him. It would give him a wonderful talking point, and would make him someone Grog could engage with on an intellectual level. Axe-head is a pirate you would show respect.
That Phineas Gage reference was really funny. For those who don’t know, Phineas Gage was a railroad worker that had a metal pipe rocket through his jaw straight out the top of his head. He survived for another 10 years after losing a part of his brain.
I saw a comment in the stuff for The Legend Of Vox Machina series that they hope that when that series ends, it ends with Pumat Sol closing the book, looking up to his shop floor, and seeing The Mighty Nein coming in through the door.
Your animation would be perfect for an animated series try doing more of this and release the later with color, and send them to Marisha or Sam offering them up to do shorts for the critical role TH-cam, you might get an opportunity and be paid for doing something you like
It's like storyboarding... It's not even animation, lol. I don't think they'd pay anyone for something this low effort when they have access to millions of dollars of fan money (a la the Kickstarter)
Groundskeeper willie: ACK! That’s Nothing! I’ve Done That So Many- *axe thrown into willies back!* Graaaaahhhhh! Is That The Best You Can Do? *Falls over and now ded*
Always ask consent before providing medical aid. If the person has passed out from their injury, it is implied consent. Nott took her red cross first aid classes
One of the prime examples of the party not knowing, or at least Matt never telling them that melee weapon attacks dont have to kill someone. Like the Mighty Nein have killed so many people they didnt have to that had information because of either not knowing or just not caring
As the guy who has been relegated to healer, which by the by I hate doing, yeah this is about right. Most people playin Clerics aren't playing them to be the party healer, we playing them for one of various other reasons, if we ain't Life domain, don't expect the heals all that often, and if we are grave domain, we ain't gonna heal ya till your down. And if we are Tempest, never expect the heals to go to any but ourselves.
I don't usually play a healer, but I have found a way to make it fun for me. I frontline a cleric with spare the dying, cure wounds, and prayer o' healing as my only health spells. But always have a catch when we have to heal, I do not recommend taking gold for your services, I stick along the lines of giving the characters a lot of crap on how they could have avoided getting hurt, acting big saying they would be helpless without me. I enjoy the prideful bit, but angsty/emo clerics and druids is also a fun role, especially when you go on druggy rants about the natural way of things. I can find fun in most characters, but I like to start out by playing the polar opposite of the stereotype, Matthew Mercer has yet to throw pool noodles at me. Edit: But in almost all cases, healing comes first.

She's the healer.
...........let that sink in.
sink in...like an axe to the back of the head?
Omg yes. I love both of you lol
She is just a Cleric... Caduceus is the healer.
What the fuck does it want now ?
@david mobeck Caduceus is also a cleric.
I keep thinking Jester is this harmless cinnamon roll. And then I’m recommended this video.
She’s. Their. Cleric.
She is a 18th century cleric! with a hacksaw...well axe in this case....
And a sawblade lollipop.
And 16 (or 18, can’t remember) strength.
But still a cute , lovely little cinnamon bun.
She is worse than me as a cleric. That is saying something
Until Cad came along
Clerics are not necessarily healers.
“I can cast spare the dying but he’s already not dying”
*passes out*
“I cast spare the dying!”
Ah yes, the old "Have you tried turning it off and on again?"
@0:36
Her words: "No, no, no. I hold on to his ankles."
Her tone: "No, no, no. That wasn't one of the options."
My favorite part is when after Cad healed him, he just went off and depressingly say, "Well, he'll be dead eventually."
Poor Caduceus had a rough initiation to The Mighty Nein's adventures...

Don't touch the axe!

In that scenario that is actually good advice. Real life, EMS would leave the axe in place and dress the wound so as to also immobilize the axe and rush full lights/sirens to the nearest level 1 trauma center

Yup. Though he'd probably be better off than Mr. Gage considering they can heal his brain from that.
