The in-game start date for the episode is still debatable. Sam’s gas can has a childlike drawing of Belles Helles which is signed “By: Sam Age 47”
The carrot thing is true, btw. In WW2 Britain, they wanted people to switch to eat more carrots so they could ration other stuff, so they said they’d give you superpowers. Also, allegedly, saying their pilots had great eyesight because of vitamin A was a smoke screen to hide the fact that they’d developed radar. Which is to say, Tasting History is a great TH-cam show where a guy cooks historic recipes and goes into the history behind them. Maybe give it a look.
Any moments I missed? Feel free to post them here. Is it Thursday yet?
Thank You, Flando 💚

Fast as always! Thanks for all you do, Flando!❤
Thank you Flando!

Going by the call and response rules of Sending, Jester just spent all three of her 3rd level slots, all three of her 4th level slots and then a 5th level slot back to back, just to talk to Imogen.
She also hasnt been using sending for months so spending all her slots to have a conversation is such a Jester thing to do
@@Engiflux I like to believe Jester strong armed the Traveler into giving her an unlimited communications plan.
And that fifth level slot was just the vocalization of “Hmmm…”
@@HatterDrivenMad Jester wished to have the signature spell feat of Wizards purely for sending
And? :)
Imogen: "Why can't I cast sending?"
The psychic voicemail with 173 Jester messages:
173.....within the first 20 minutes.
All to the dragon turtle
At least sending works on the moon as we saw recently.
A Time Bomb of terrifying proportion
@@bignelly9476D. Turts!
The fact that Matt used Dorian against Orym to try to get him outside to the horror 😮 😅
I know, it's messed up! 😂
Especially after the call he made to him……… RUDE
"you do not know the bodies in the water" lthat line just crept into my head when that happend
Me who has seen spoilers on TikTok in TH-cam, knowing exactly why Dorian didn’t respond
@@baileysv6793 why? I have a a couple theories but I would actually like to hear yours
I love that everyone else is in a horror movie but Laudna, the spookiest character, is in a Silly Symphony short
merry melodies short
@@oldfrend Ah a Warner Bro
Let's be fair, Laudna is way too used to horror, so much so she is like the TF2 pyro. She has a different way of seeing things.
@@darkvizardking69 🎶Do you believe in magic, in an undead heart🎶
@@LostFoundling I just have the worst image of her skipping in that scene, in form of dread on the outside
I just realized: BH arriving in Issylra (sp?) means that Orym's deal with Nana Morri is complete on her end. All of BH came back from Ruidus alive. That there's going to be a second trip with an as-yet unknown level of success very well might be irrelevant.
Oh damn you're so right
I thought that too... damn
god, if that's how Matt justifies the absolute insane escape from Otohan the previous episode lmao
Well.....Laudna.
Laudna’s technicallly dead/undead. Shes not alive
I find it infinitesimaly hilarious that Ludinus has spent hundreds of years building these Malius keys and researching the timing of the ley lines and planning to get to the moon..... And this group of chuckle-fucks just stumbles into a portal to a haunted town that connects the moon to Exandria 😂
Well.....Ludinus is a wizard: It's pretty in his nature to spend years of his life researching something that someone else just stumbled into 😈😈😈
Average wizard vs sorcerer discovery
To be fair they found the moon half first so that cursed town might be very hidden or people don't realize that it's cursed and is just an abandoned nothing town.
There are a number of lakes in this world where they can't find the exit. But people can accurately find the source of every river on earth. So this is fairly realistic.
Infinitesimally means “to very very small degree”. Just so you know. But maybe you just find it an extremely tiny bit funny. 😅
Animate Object + Matt's ability to improvise characters = new best NPCs
The cunning adventures of Boat and Rope.
How to take one of the stronger spells in the game and just elevate it to another level. I love it.
Ropey: It's been a pleasureee.... Everybody: Ropey, noooooo!!
I honestly don't know whose "death" hit me harder: Ropey or Spurt.
Or speak w/ plants
Laudna becomes an undead pirate and DIVES into the lake with the enchanted boat ... "DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES!!!"
You mean: "Dead gnomes make no toys" ?
When he said that at the end I was like "DAMN IT!!! Why didn't I think to post something like THAT?"@@GreatCezar1
Imogen being on the receiving end of Jester’s sendings is just beautiful. 😂
I love that what instantly and naturally happens is a confused "wait, what?" moment, just as all the NPCs from campaign 2 also had. 😂
Matt just innocently getting back at her for being subjected to them himself for an entire campaign, same as when he fucked with Sam during his Commune abuse
*Ashton wakes up*
"Kelp, it's again"
🤣🤣🤣
I Chuckled, have a thumb
Ow, my sides!
Gold
I cast "Reveal Timestamp" at 5th level
One of my favorite episodes from the whole campaign. It had Dorym crumbs, it had weird moon shit, it had hidden portals to Exandria, it had Caleb Widogast, and it had JESTER LAVORRE!!!
1:43
Wurd
😆😆😆
And Undead Pirate Captain Laudna!
With Ropey and Boaty too
Lets be real, Jester going all Kool-Aid Man into Imogen's head is the ONLY way she could have been introduced into C3.
"Oh, hai"
Oh yeah
"Have you seen how big a salmon is!?" Yes, salmons are pretty big, however a bigger hurdle to carrying something isn't its size, it's the complete lack of arms that'll do it
They have a mouth and, as a druid, Fearne would have her humanoid intelligence to make best use of her fish body.
@@Blasted2Oblivion You see this is what they did, no? and exactly, her humanoid intelligence... of 9! meaning, in no way shape or form was the fact that she was carrying smtn over half her length, in her mouth, sideways, upstream! even remotely considered. But, even more importantly... I was making a joke. Find another hill
The surprise Jester cameo made my heart so full and I would love for her to meet Bells Hells 🥺
I think Jester and Laudna would be besties.
Jester would immediately love FCG as soon as she hears "Smiley day to ya!".
I dont know if the feelings would be mutual.
ngl i screamed and was so shook to see a jester cameo
Matt got her mannerisms so well. I'm glad to see Laura experiencing what it's like to receive a Jester Sending.
The idea of having Jester and Fearne in the same room kinda scares me...
Anyone else waiting for Matt to ask "are you pooping" as jester?
No, but I said, "doo doo doot doo dooo doot doo donuts!"
I was fully expecting him to end one of the sending with a "are you pooping right now?"
Personally, I’m waiting on jester to completely destroy a god’s brain using a chocolate chip cookie or something. We all know she is capable of it
@@tunerrestorationsor at minimum try to 😂
Liam appreciation post! The instant emotions from his scene with Laura once Orym hugged Imogen - the space he holds with any scene partner with subtle and not so subtle cues is special and a wonder to watch/listen to
It felt quite forced/awkward/out of nowhere for me🤔
@@asatorftw 🤔for you.
I was really touched by it!
@@asatorftw thats most of liam's forced emotional scenes
+
The fact that Ashton took so long to shake the draw doesn't just make sense from a stats perspective but also from a thematic perspective. Belonging is, like, Ash's driving want, even if they don't realize it yet.
That makes me sad
Underappreciated insight. Good one. So sad.
Well both their wisdom and charisma are both being negative stats, that’s what was hilarious. /j
Edit: That’s wisdom checks and charisma checks and saves
@@persephonethereaper6938 I'm not sure about hilarious. I think Matt set this up to be something that made Ashton confront the idea that the party might have needs, but so does he. That they want to belong, they *do* belong, and Bell's Hells can be the home he needs so badly.
Families fight. They fuck up and make mistakes and get stressed. But they're always there when you need them. Ashton's been so caught up in proving he's worth the effort that they forget this is a family now. And, yeah, the shard incident brought that to light, but they seem to forget it over and over. I love this encounter so much for reminding him again.
@@DarcOne13 whoops forgot the tonal indicator sorry
The greatest highlight for me in this episode is the heavy emphasis on how different Laudna is from Delilah.
Delilah: *Summons/Conjures demons, monsters, and the undead.*
Laudna: *Summons a British cockney flying undead rat, a British-sounding boat, and a derpy-sounding rope.*
Delilah: Maybe I should've thought this through. MEH, It's FINE:tm:!
It's giving "The badass villain but unlocked as a playable character but their power level is dialed down to 4"
Derp Rope is the opposite of a Danger Noodle.
fun scary for the win
Jester Lavorre has entered the chat.
And taken it over. lol
Jester Lavorre refuses to leave the chat
several people are typing...
@@sheevpalpatine1105 all of them are Jester
Jester Lavorre was timed out for spamming
Delilah knows exactly what to say to Laudna. "The one you love." Killed me. God, she's so evil but I understand her motivation to save the people Laudna loves. UGH
Delilah is giving Laudna the best advice in the worst way.
@@TitaniaBirdIkr?!?!? Gods, it's so evil because there is some serioualy good advice in what she is saying, but we know it's for the absolute wrong reasons and I hate it xD
I mean, she did everything out of love for her man. She just didn't care what other lives she wrecked while she did it
1:33:20 You just know Matt has been waiting YEARS for this opportunity 😆
"Haaaay, so, Caleb told me to call you guys to see what's going on! Fjord! Put your hands back up, I can't tell how many-"
@@dylannelson2165 Damn, I had to count the words to confirm...
1:32:10 I love how Liam roleplays the word counting in character
Captain Laudna sailing in on Boatie and Roapie might just be my new favorite thing
I NEED fanart! 😁
@@rhokesh4391Is it weird that my thoughts immediately to how the R34 fanartists will likely use that rope?
@@Blasted2Oblivion hate to say it, but that is weird brother.

Really, no-one?
A 'workaround to the bloody bridge problem is to use the backdoor' setup and ....... no-one
Get this more likes
That sending conversation between Jester and Immogen gave me so much joy I was grinning like an idiot for a good minute. The difference between the two characters' styles could not be more stark. Imogen was efficient with her wording to the point of leaving words unused which reflects her reserved nature while Jester was as chaotic as always. Just imagine 10 years from now when this gets animated and Laura has to voice both sides of the conversation. Lol
I was conflicted
On the one hand, does Jester generally use ALL her words in every sending spell (and way more)?
Yes
On the other hand, would she use a whole spell slot just to say "hmmmm"
Also yes
I had the Jester call as really important.
There is no known reason sending type stuff is back up.
There is a mind-effecting presence there.
So with:
Caleb responded pretty much exactly as Orym would expected Caleb to respond, not revealing anything Orym didn't already know
Keyleth responded to Imogen well within what she (or all of the Bells) would expect her to say, erring on the side of "why don't you stay here, a bit longer" again not revealing anything beyond what they were already thinking.
Until the Jester-call this all could have been a cold-read tactic by "the scary shit"
I had the same exact thought
Idk why no one is mentioning this. I agree that Jester is really important in that, but depending on the rules of that lake's curse/darkness, it also could make sense...
@@TheVvolfgang but none of BH has met Jester... unless Jester was imaginary this whole time???
Why did I read the “scary shit” as “creepy shit” but in jester’s voice. 😂😭
I love the idea that Bells Hells gets done with defeating Ludinus/Predathos and they head back to Jrusar to find that it has been either completely destroyed/taken over by the Shade Mother, and Bells Hells just throws their hands up in exasperation and just yells out at the sky (at Matt) “Can you not try and destroy Exandria for 5 minutes!!!”
Yeah, everyone forgot about the Shade Mother, didn't they?
@@GAdmThrawnwell it’s jrusars job to stop her now that they know.
@@GAdmThrawn if i remember right, the Shade Mother and by extension, the shade creepers, were essentially a result of False Flag stuff the Paragons Call and Ira were up to, no? So its safe to assume that Jrusar got its act together and cleared that shit out. the Creepers were only ever pests before, i think, and the fact they were as active as they were those few episodes was an outlier
I am not sure why do I keep periodically seeing the "shade mother is still an issue" messages. They went in, they collected evidence and they got out, they were also accompanied by Detective crew trusted by the government. That problem was taken care of ages ago by the city officials and guards. it was a problem before only because it was not visible enough to be dealt with.
My favorite part about the Jester messages that Matt is doing is that Matt always cuts them off early because Jester always had that problem of going over and I love that attention to detail. But man Jester is probably so relieved that she can cast Sending. She even said that it was the worst day ever when she found out that they could not cast sending.
Yeah, but now she’s probably SUPER upset that she just wasted nearly all of her spell slots on this one conversation thread when there’s a bunch of other people she would really want to talk to. (and probably really need to)
I can see Jester excited at first knowing that sending is back on the table followed by “Aw man, I wasted all my spell slots and have to sleep now! 😫”
"Fjord, I'm going to bed!"
"Why, Jessie, it's 10am?"
"I need my spell slots back! I have to call Mum and Dad and The Plank King and Beau and maybe Pumat too!"
1:36:00 saying he misses Dorian feels so close to a declaration of love because he misses Will so bad all the time, and he loves Will so deeply that missing someone and loving someone seems to blur together into the same feeling
😭😭😭
He could also feel terribly guilty for developing feelings for Dorian even though it is healthy to move on.
PAIN.
Delilah always knows just what to say to manipulate Laudna.
1:43
Wurd
^ best response ever 😂😂😂😂
@@SabrinasMusicCollection
😆😆😆
See, if i was being paranoid, id assume all those "sendings" finally working was just the trick of whatever the fuck was in the lake. Jester kinda throws a wrench into all that (shocking, i know) but god it'd be so fucked up if the gang get back to Keyleth and she's like "what backdoor"
i mean them being lured to the lake was a very logical consequence of their very conscious choice to sleep in the creepy abandoned town, but boy was it cool
Beginning of episode: We’re exhausted, so let’s send one person through the portal to scout for 5 minutes just to see where we are. That’s a good idea.
End of episode: We’re exhausted, so let’s all go through the portal, become clouds, explore a deserted town, discover its cursed origins, stay overnight, get dragged into the lake by a shadow monster in the middle of the night, and almost die by seaweed. That’s a good idea.
It’s so frustrating to watch them make such consistently poor decisions
Seen all 3 campaigns & I'm not gonna lie its becoming increasingly frustrating to watch them bite at everything Matt throws their way even if it's a horrible decision.
He could not have given them more red flags.
It's almost as if they're willfully trying to deviate from the plot as much as possible. 😕
@@Jmgoregrind Meh, I still think it was a decent call. Especially after having gone through, determining they were "home", and seeing that the place was long abandoned, with records showing the creepy part was a couple people at a time after having been there over long periods. When on Ruidus, they are susceptible to being tracked by everyone, especially while sleeping.
They took precautions against the spoopy tentacles, it just wasn't enough.
@grinddid any of them die? Nope. Did they learn of an unguarded portal to the moon that possibly gives their allies the ability to orchestrate a suprise attack and got back to the moon safely? Yes
Don't think this counts as a poor decision. Also... how boring would a game be if you just always take the safe route. Good story telling is all about the conflicts, whether it's conflict in the party or conflict with enemies or just conflict of the weird and unknown. If everything always goes right, that would work out to a yawn-fest.
@@Naudran
The ironic part is that this backdoor to Ruidus is ABSOLUTELY set up for the safest possible route and it's still entertaining.
People just want to complain just to complain sometimes. I don't blame them but the *hate* C3 gets is absolutely unnecessary.
It's my least favourite of the campaigns but it's still very good. It's just a different style of narrative and people *hate* everything about it because of that.
Not Marisha pushing different random sides of the boombox each time? Not even hitting a button that’s great
They said the word "hemisphere" and the first thing I thought was "What would FCG say?" - then I looked at Sam and he was typing something into his tablet. I'm not far in but I wonder if he was looking up what flat earthers believe about hemispheres 😂
I loved when Liam was like, "He's making some good points" and Matt threatened a Meteor Swarm. lol
@@Kemical13I mean I do love the bit of him cracking at all the crazy things people like flat earthers and the zealously religious believe in, but boy can it be wild and a little much. Then again that's the point lol
I am still hoping he spends 20k gold on an experiment that he thinks will prove Exandria is flat but does the opposite.
Hemi…plane?
Alternate Episode Name: *YOU RECOGNIZE THE BODIES IN THE WATER!*
Hello scp fandom,
OMG
Honestly, you can tell Matt has been into his horror recently.
He's been playing with some wild concepts lately.
• Fear of Caves/Splunking.
(although a while ago)
• Fear of Water.
• Fear of the Unknown.
• Psychological horror.
• Uncanny Valley.
• Eldrich horror.
(throughout the whole of C3 tbh)
This has been another episode of “Travis Told You So”!!!!!
And he's sick and tire of them not listening!
I'm just waiting for the grand re-opening of the "Travis is always right foundation." If you've seen SAOA, you know.
1:36:02 Cheeky of Matt to cut off Dorian's reply. Hopefully they are planning another Exu or something, so Matt couldn't answer for Dorian
i mean, if Dariax is with Deni$e after she went back and Dorian is still with him and Opal, there's a real chance the Crown Keepers are more aware of what the fuck is going on and we have a chance for another Echo of the Solstice type episode. Honestly, if Matt really wanted, Echoes of the Solstice could be its own mini-series with a bunch of characters dealing with the outcome of what's essentially a worldwide magical EMP.
@@Lynch2507That would be amazing, I would love to see what other wild things could be happening.
Marisha's intel about carrots is a bit off: during ww2 the Brits invented radar, which allowed them to intercept German planes even during nighttime. To deceive the Germans they spread the rumor that carrots gave their spotters very good eyesight
It's not off, and neither is yours. They chose carrots for the propaganda because UK had a massive surplus of carrots.
So, y'all are both right.
But carrots are good source of vitamin A... Which is good for your eyes. So... they are good for your eyes.
@mossy.andthemoon yes they are good for your eyes, but not RADAR good.
Could you imagine the cosmic horror of someone eating a carrot and then becoming some kind of superpowered cross of Daredevil and Superman?
Every D&D party: “Why did someone leave such a weirdly cryptic message instead of just plainly explaining the danger here?”
Bell’s Hells: 2:57:55 (In the voice of Groundskeeper Willie installing the “Caution Well” sign): “That should do it.”
Two weeks in a row now that a cast member doesn't realize they're still on-air at the end of the episode. Last time it was Liam, this time it was Laura. Goofballs.🙂
I am officially watching episodes as they get released! Finally caught up after one year 🎉
Hello, bees, Monday Crew! BH might be at the end of their rope with few lifeboats in sight in this one, especially after getting exactly the wrong kind of kelp they need.
😂
It feels like Delilah might be the ultimate BBEG of this campaign. She could help BH’s overcome Predathos and then take her shot to return.
Laudna uses Hunger of the Shadow on Ludinus or Predathos.
"Thank you, my dear...but you've got one last thing to give" and Delilah full on possesses her, or uses her 'life force' in some way to come back.
Predathos/ludinus is definitely the main villain of this campaign but i could see delialah being a epilogue or one shot villain afterwards
The Czepeku spot was unhinged.
15:00 If the Barbarian is worried about losing a fist fight, you need a rest.
As a DM, I felt that sigh by Matt in my soul when they were talking about "centipede style".
As a DM, Boaty and Ropey are far more like my table's shenanigans.
Here's the HUGE problem. If WE can use Sending, Ludinus can use Sending and I don't doubt he has that ability. In fact, I think he's the one that turned it back on so now the question is: Why?
Like Father going "ON/OFF" with the alchemy in Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
I did not catch Matt blink a single time while playing the bird
I may be wrong, but the Brits got radar and could see aircraft coming sooner. Had a campaign to say carrots help your eyes so the enemy espionage would be confused. Maybe it's true, maybe not, but that's a good story ark.
I believe it was initially a campaign to sell carrots in the WW2 Blitz bombings, where we painted everything black, including crosswalks, bollards, window shuttersand switched off all the outside lights to stop night time bombing raids. They switched road signs around n all sorts. Much later they later found out through science stuff that there's specific vitamins and minerals in carrots that are great for your eyes in general. So, little column A, little column B.
“Nice to meet you, Jester”
My heart! 💖
sometimes i get so used to Matt's villain voices that I forget he's a voice actor and can pull stupid voices out of nowhere that perfectly fit an animal's or object's personality
Someone should really tell them about the 5th level Illusion spell Dream. It would change their fucking LIVES. That's one of the best communication spells in the game. Assuming all your friends aren't Elves.
No wizard, no bard in the party. The only warlock is Laudna, but with only 3 levels in it, so she has no access to Dream. But yes, it is a great spell.
I see someone has learned the ways of SHAME CAT.
really looking forward to FCG making enemies with every bird he comes across, especially for Matt's performances :D
Fcg has a favored enemy now.
I need an Ariks Eshteross t-shirt that says Tonight I bake…
This needs everyone's attention because I need at least six of them.
@@jayesteele1650 Yes!
I NEED THAT
Ashton this whole episode has been just "I'm so tired, why are we doing this?" And then suffering as a result of his friend's actions 😂
I just have to commend Matt for how organic it felt that they found the portal. It did not feel railroaded at all and really like something they could have easily missed, yet it's an incredible discovery.
It's been so long since I've watched an episode all in one go. This one just kept coming with heavy hitter after heavy hitter. Portals, eldritch horror, CALEB AND JESTER I CAN"T
"this is ruidis born.."
"and this! is exalted"

Ashton Fuck Count: Previous Episodes = 627, Episode 86 = 9
Long Live Boaty, the most beloved member of Bells Hells (According to Laudna's Mind).
Belle Hells on the moon..
(Meanwhile back on Alexandria)
Keyleth: Percy! We need to talk about what we will do if they don’t return..
Percy de volo: I’ve been working on that.. (orders some troops to remove several large tarps, revealing a 106ft long cylindrical barrel) I call it “Really Bad News”..
Keyleth: 😳 Are you going to try and blow up the moon with that..?
Percy: No,Just some weirdos on it but that would be fascinating to try..
Oh he absolutely would, man was trying to build a mini death ray in campaign 1
Keyleth: You can't just blow a hole in the surface of Mars!
Percy: *BFG10000 INTENSIFIES*
@@Usagi33353 If anyone would be crazy enough to try, he would. Man has had years to perfect crafting guns so if he had the tech for it he could make weapons on par with the super futuristic ones. Those ones get all kinds of broken though.
Hillarious that Travis didn't start counting message words till Jester entered the chat
Laudna waking up like 90% of moms at 1:37:40 really cracked me up
Best depiction of animate object ever. Loving the complexity of this campaign
For some reason, the "I have dark vision" bit reminded me of ExU Calamity, when they were all calling out whether or not they could understand the Primordial speech. And then there's Sam "I took Dwarvish"
I love how when they contacted Caleb, Ashley did Yasha’s voice when speaking as Fearne haha
Zombie by The Cranberries:
In Laudna`s head, In Laudna`s head
Ropey and Boaty, Ropey and Boaty
are talking, talking, talking
The undead pirate bit was GLORIOUS 😂 omg I need to see this episode officially animated so baaaaaaddddd
Orym: We're in Bangor, Maine
Me: *listening from Bangor, Maine ON A FOGGY NIGHT*
Also me: *turns on lights and wakes up dog*
WE PLAY DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS ON MONDAY NIIITE. Brought to you by CZEPEKU!!
"I have darkvision" killed me.
I love Laudna's accent. Especially when she says, "Fuck!"
I'm glad her creepy telepathic voices are back too
The last two episodes just had extremely amazing storytelling, probably my favourite part about campaign 3 so far
Totally understand how a random elven ruin, a lake and a ghost town suddenly became more interesting than the main story ^^
And the possibility of another mighty NEIN Special Mission one shot is the cherry on top (please
So only the dead woman and the moon-touched weren't effected by the [REDACTED]. And Im gunna assume Delilah is shielding Laudna from it.
I wonder if Predathos(sp.) either made the [REDACTED] or if maybe he's a particularly old and powerful one, and Fern and Imogen weren't bothered because they're giving off the same psychic vibes as the [REDACTED] do.
thats a good explanation on table, above table it was pretty much just whoever had more charisma
i thought it matt was going with some sort of siren/mermaid mythology that called men to their deaths.
Wondering if this creature was related to the creature they dealt with in c2 just before TravellerCon.
You can see him looking at each person and rolling a dice. I think it was just random. 1:40:43
it was a charisma saving throw.
god damn matt mercers ability to keep a straight face is impressive the bird scene was crazy
I tell you what, finding a bsck door to the moon less than a days walk from the capital city is probably mission complete, even if they haven't learnt much about the rebels.
After 3 months FINALLY I have caught up 🥳🥳 thank you CR for offering me serotonin in hard times always
Mama I realized it was jester's voice I started ascending I swear.
I just gotta say Marisha looks so cute with the twin buns and glasses. it’s a good look on her!
"This episode had eveything!"
That Water Breathing spell really fucking saved the day didn't it...
NO SLEEP FOR ASHTON 🎸
NO! 🥁
SLEEP! 🎸
FOR FUCK'S SAKE! 😤
Laudna is such a fantastic friggin character man. I'm loving her journey more all the time. And Marisha embodies her so well. It's a real treat to watch.
My favourite thing about the episode (and there’s a lot 😂) is the first 45 min where everyone seems to be either jet lagged or in an exhausted giggly mood
That boat and rope might be my favorite NPCs in Critical Role history.
They’re tied with henry crabgrass for me
Whats up monday crew?!?!
Laura replying to Laura
Pog moment
Delilah being so motherly and nurturing towards Laudna who she literally tortured and killed is such a deliciously fucked up touch😂
I love when Matt gets to be in a thumbnail
Who else already watched on Twitch but you're still here watching again?
The sponsor was hilarious but became so much funnier when Taliesan rolled his eyes up to the stratosphere 😂
RIP Boaty and Ropey, you definitely pulled your weight.
*orym voice, looking at Ropey* "It tied the room together"
