@@tallfang4955 Spaghetti western is the genre name. It was named that because most westerns were actually made by Italians who didn’t know much about the west.
@@DredgenStorm Honestly I'm glad he did. It leaves it open for it to happen again as this time it didn't escalate... this time. Plus it was comedic gold and very realistic response to someone who is WAY out of the loop lol.
I just love how Travis, the once newcomer who by his own admission created Grog as a sort of "I don't know what DnD is or what I'm doing but I can roleplay a big strong idiot I guess", has evolved so much and fallen in love with the game to make characters like Chetney and Fjord and Cerrit. Not that I don't like Grog, but every character since has demonstrated a wider emotional range, more interesting backstories, better improvisational skills and character to character/Pc interactions. If Grog was a player learning the game jokingly, Fjord was a player trying a more serious approach, and Chetney is a player becoming so comfortable with DnD that they can play back with the DM and walk the line between moments of comedy, suspense, and emotional vulnerability. Fuck yeah.
I think Grog taught him he could be silly and serious in the same campaign. He clearly like more seious characters like Fjord and Cerrit but for me he truly shines in his comedic moments
I had a very similar journey. My first character was an Orc Fighter who was also an idiot with a good heart but also a lot of anger. These characters are perfect to start with because they are easy to play and a lot of fun.
Liam, sometimes Talesin, always staying in character when everyone else is cracking up or in out-of-character conversation. Liam did well as Caleb in c2. Caleb always seemed to be there, even when he was quiet xD (maybe it was his smell)
At this point I think that Ultgar’s whole operation is a front for something else. Like, he makes sleeper agents out of craftsmen and distributes them across the world by staging a falling out so that if they’re caught after activation, they won’t incriminate him since they obviously hate him.
That timing of Travis saying "Fiend-Uh fellow." Had me in tears for the longest and says sooooo much about Ultgard and how maybe rogue members that end up leaving whatever he has see him lol.
Now lots of people want Oltgar to be a front for some assassin or arcane ring. I literally want it to be toymakers getting way too territorial about being toymakers. Yes, they will still be the ultimate Big Bad.
I absolutely love how Travis gives a call to action to Matt and he responded by doing that bit of acting: the placing of items on the shelves and stopping at the name Ultgar. Just wonderful chemistry between all of these people and I love it
I hope oltgar is legit just a sweet old man, and this whole thing is a horrible misunderstanding. I love the idea of painting him to be a big bad and in reality he's just a chill dude.
I seriously want the Ultgar 'situation' to be something incredibly stupid, like he stole his apprentices' snacks or something, or pitted all the apprentices against each other by having them steal each others' snacks, but all the apprentices are treating it as a form of complete and utter betrayal by Ultgar. I also love Liam's reactions the most.
I have a slightly insane theory. Oltgar is a "master" who "taught" Chetney, and others, a valuable skill that they all consider to be a higher calling. Chet is fanatical about wood, almost religiously so. Those who Oltgar has mentored but who no longer work for him live in fear of his current followers finding them and enacting some kind of revenge. They all carry a specific and uncommon weapon. What if Chetney wasn't joking when he said Oltgar was a "fiend"? What if Oltgar is a patron to a whole army of craftsperson warlocks, and Chetney and Zadro broke their pacts?
Here's my theory- he began hiring elves only and giving away all the toys he makes for free on a wintry night each year, never charging a thing for a toy every again. That, or he started incorporating metal into his work ;).
The revelation is going to be that Chetney and his other former apprentices hate him because he drilled into them the value of wood, but then betrayed his own teachings to invent die-cast metal toys.
The addition of the music makes the moment feel like to retired gunslingers meeting, not knowing who’s going to draw first but reluctant to do so themselves.
Fun fact: Scientific testing demonstrated that in vast majority of simulated duels, person who draws first actually loses the duel. Because conscious action (I will draw NOW!) is actually slower than subconscious reaction to emerging threat. TL;DR: You want to win? Don't draw first.
I love this interaction. It just comes almost out of left-field and Orym's just standing there watching totally confused. Can't wait to learn about Chetney's past.
I love how this whole interaction seemed to play out like some weird joke between two old people, but as it went on… now I’m curious what the hell is going on with all these craftspeople. The hell did Ultgar do
He told him to make Doty out of wood, but nobody bought it. He told him to make a crystal ball, but Chetney can't do enchantments. He told him to make a Vex doll, but he couldn't braid the hair. So he stabbed Ultgar in the chest and got out of town as fast as his little legs could carry him
it is either a rip-off or alternate version of the song "The Ecstasy of Gold" from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly". it sounds very similar but it is not the version from the movie, whatever it is.
I have my bias towards fjord but i have to admit travis seems to be really having the most fun as chet. imo he was limited by grog having low soft skills and kinda got pigeonholed whereas fjord was the designated co leader with caleb that played the straight man to the chaos crew's antics. As chet he gets to be quirky but not dumb and knows when to get serious and tactical. Travis possibly multiclassing into rogue is gonna be fun to watch.
While C3 may not be my favorite, at least not yet, I have to say that everbody's characters are top-tier. I feel like everyone's playing something that they all really want and put a ton of work in, not that previous characters weren't but it seems like they're all having the most fun in C3. Chetney, Laudna, and Ashton especially feel like "perfect" characters seeing how much fun Travis, Marisha, and Taliesin are having.
I really love that Travis is continuing to flex his natural comedy. Grog would occasionally do or say something funny. Fjord and Chetney were/is just plain and simply hilarious.
Grog v Kern 1. Grog v Kern 2. Grog v Kevdak. Grog.v Earthbreaker Groon 1. Grog v Earthbreaker Groon 2. Fjord v Avantika. Are we putting this encounter in the Matt-Travis classics soon?
No we need Chet to fight some one from his past or seduce them or marry them or something like that. He's old enough he could have kids he's not talking about because it hurt to leave them or something. It was a funny scene though.
I almost want to see Chetney's arc become a Kill Bill-style story arc, where he has to find "Ultgar's" allies and kill them all. In the meantime, he allies himself with those opposed to "Ultgar," and bands them together for a mission that seeks vengeance. Could this make Chetney Campaign 3's Percy? Hmm... 🤔
@@isaiahwelch8066 Yeah but that Was less mexican stand off more Trauma. Just cause someone is blankly stsring Into space with kill Bill music doesnt constitute to feeling like It. Here its literally a mexican stand off
Travis playing a Gnome/Werewolf/John wick... I have to say everyone's character selections are so incredible. I have a feeling FCG has a literal evil switch
It's the The infinite monkey theorem; i'm just the lucky monkey... Travis get a chubby whenever he hears the word "Werewolf" and Sam likes playing characters with extreme polar dualities.
The fact Orym was there makes this scene so much better, and when I first saw it I imagined about something like this... Rising tension over simple name drop. Spaghetti western music and camera shots. And suddenly Orym saying "Chet?"
My bets on ultgar "betrayed the craft" by turning them all to crime at some point. Imagine. A league of carpenters and craftsmen who own all the wood production in all the city. Every piece exquisite but every door, wall panel, box, all of it designed to be perfectly accessible by the Kabul of wood workers. No house or jewelry box is safe. Not from the carpenters assassins...
Chet is golden, I love him and this insane story Travis and Matt are playing out feels like its own story within the D&D champagne, this is superb storytelling and I want more.
Okay I SINCERELY hope Travis, Matt, and Liam have seen this, because the EDITING HERE IS GENIUS. The music, the camera shots, the transitions are PERFECTIONNNNN.
I'm fully convinced on a meta level, Orym was supposed to be in an old school style game of noble heroes saving the world through the power of goodness and honor, instead he winds up with a group of ticking time bombs.
The acting. The tension. The dialogue full of promise for trouble. You see a backstory, a goal, a plethora of dangerous secrets. Chetney can convey an intensity and focus that is unrivaled. He's got the mind. And the ability to forget about it in 0.3 second when Orym starts talking again.
id like to think that after all this, it is actually just a craftsman's guild that just happen to be over the top assassin vibes just to confuse everyone
This is incredible!! XD When it happened on air I didn’t notice the immediate change in tone, and I was really confused when they both started reaching for weapons and shit- But the sudden Old West music makes it so clear, it’s so funny! XD
The music makes it feel like Matt and Travis are just suddenly playing a whole different game for a second. And the music suddenly cutting out with Orym made it 10x better.
Brilliant editing! :D To me the scene immediately seemed like something out of John Wick or a tragic encounter in a spy movie, but a good old Western stand-off also fits perfectly it seems. Can't wait until Chet really runs into one of Oltgar's sleeper agents and out of nowhere a duel to the death begins.
i’m always immersed as matt shifts his face into a character like aside from being a good dm with good descriptions i actually feel like i’m looking at a whole other person
That scene was pure gold! If not for Orym breaking the tension at the right moment, we were a hair's breadth of death duel of two master crafters. With chisels!
The sheer fact that the rest of the cast was initially like "Oh yeah, this is a joke, real funny you guys." and then got surprised that it was real makes it even funnier.
So it’s been revealed that big reason Chetney hates Oltgar is because he was planning to start working with metal instead of wood. An elf had suggested metal because it would last longer and Chetney, being an avid woodworker, thought it was an insult so he left Uthodurn. So just remember that Chetney calls this guy a fiend all because he didn’t want to work with wood anymore 😂😂
Chet: "OoooOh... and I wanted to leave so bad..." *terrifying head turn* Me: DO IT. DRAW CHISEL I will never be able to watch this scene without the music
So looking into it… the Music is cut from “For a Few Dollars More” for those who only know of “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” which is just the 3rd film of a three part trilogy. “A Fist Full of Dollars” being the first, “For a Few Dollars More” being the second, and “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” being the Epic Conclusion from a film industry back in the early 60’s. For those who really enjoy Lee Van Cleef’s performance as “The Bad” AKA “Angel Eyes” I highly recommend “For a Few Dollars More” which in my opinion is unfortunately overlooked.
Seeing this...I swear my butthole puckered a bit waiting for what was going to happen next and Orym intervening broke the tension. Almost anti-climatic.
Orym intervening was what it made it really funny to me since Chetney and Zadro were in their own little universe for that moment. Then the tension finally broke like they just came out of a trance. If you thought of this scene differently than comedically, I can see why it might seem a bit anticlimactic though.
Everything about this is amazing. You can see how into it Matt was, also how immediately went for the old spaghetti western standoff. This is going to be one of the most entertaining plotlines CR has seen!
This scene was amazing! Fantastic editing. And I know it wasn't your first choice but the Morricone music was perfect. Favorite part was the occasional WTF reactions of Liam.
All of this gets at least a little bit funnier when you consider that, between a dwarf, a halfling, and a gnome, none of the characters present are taller than like 4ft lol

What Ultgar do indeed.
What didn’t he do
That's a classic 'What the fuck is up with that?' if I heard one.
Probably something to do with the use of plastic
He told him to make Doty out of wood, but nobody bought it. He told him to make a crystal ball, but Chetney can't do enchantments. He told him to make a Vex doll, but he couldn't braid the hair.
So he stabbed Ultgar in the chest and got out of town as fast as his little legs could carry him

This is incredible!! XD When it happened on air I didn’t notice the immediate change in tone, and I was really confused when they both started reaching for weapons and shit- But the sudden Old West music makes it so clear, it’s so funny! XD
The music makes it feel like Matt and Travis are just suddenly playing a whole different game for a second. And the music suddenly cutting out with Orym made it 10x better.
Everything about this, the music the editing EVERYTHING, just makes it all better
How this interaction goes from friendly to adversarial so quickly lmoa
The “Fiend… uh, fellow” line is my favorite thing that has happened this entire series 😂😂
God I need more of Travis and Matt 1v1s this campaign
Brilliant editing! :D To me the scene immediately seemed like something out of John Wick or a tragic encounter in a spy movie, but a good old Western stand-off also fits perfectly it seems.
Can't wait until Chet really runs into one of Oltgar's sleeper agents and out of nowhere a duel to the death begins.
Its gonna be the best when Chetney has to actually fight an Ultgar agent
i’m always immersed as matt shifts his face into a character like aside from being a good dm with good descriptions i actually feel like i’m looking at a whole other person
The music with this is so perfect
The music makes this moment so much better!
The music over the top of this makes this the fucking best clip ive ever seen.
That scene was pure gold! If not for Orym breaking the tension at the right moment, we were a hair's breadth of death duel of two master crafters. With chisels!
Ive seen this several times now and this is such a phenomenal edit
Your editing for this video made it feel EXACTLY like the Spaghetti-Western stand-off I felt like it was! Great work!
Matt's face as he went from Happy Shop Owner to Gunslinger was priceless
The sheer fact that the rest of the cast was initially like "Oh yeah, this is a joke, real funny you guys." and then got surprised that it was real makes it even funnier.
So it’s been revealed that big reason Chetney hates Oltgar is because he was planning to start working with metal instead of wood. An elf had suggested metal because it would last longer and Chetney, being an avid woodworker, thought it was an insult so he left Uthodurn.
So just remember that Chetney calls this guy a fiend all because he didn’t want to work with wood anymore 😂😂
the underrated part of that whole thing was Liam letting it all happen and jumped in at the perfect moment.
I must say, the spaghetti western mixed with the christmas jingles is a masterpiece itself inside the scene.
This edit is so damn good. It adds so much.
To any of those wondering like I was, the song is called "La Resa Dei Conti". You'll be looking for the version without pipe organ.
Chet: "OoooOh... and I wanted to leave so bad..." *terrifying head turn*
Me: DO IT. DRAW CHISEL
I will never be able to watch this scene without the music
If Orym hadn’t mentioned that, it wouldn’t have been a chisel Chetney drew. He’d have gone all “recognise the alpha” on her😂
Ultgar.....Oldgar .....Oldguy..... OLD GUY! As the THE Old Guy! 🎅
...
I thought Ultgar was an orchish name or smth, how didn't I see this before?? 🤣
I've watched this a dozen times purely for the, "Eyes dartin' around, dartin' around!"
So looking into it… the Music is cut from “For a Few Dollars More” for those who only know of “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” which is just the 3rd film of a three part trilogy. “A Fist Full of Dollars” being the first, “For a Few Dollars More” being the second, and “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” being the Epic Conclusion from a film industry back in the early 60’s. For those who really enjoy Lee Van Cleef’s performance as “The Bad” AKA “Angel Eyes” I highly recommend “For a Few Dollars More” which in my opinion is unfortunately overlooked.
Yes 100% agree. Of the dollars trilogy that is honestly the best one and nobody talks about it.
Thank You !
You are a fucking blessing. Thank you for ending my fruitless search, I couldn’t give up on finding the song
It cut too short the line from Chet about a scorched earth campaign was brilliant
Looks like we got ourselves a wildmountian stand-off boys.
Seeing this...I swear my butthole puckered a bit waiting for what was going to happen next and Orym intervening broke the tension. Almost anti-climatic.
I think it's anticlimactic in a good way. These madness will unfold in time.
Orym intervening was what it made it really funny to me since Chetney and Zadro were in their own little universe for that moment. Then the tension finally broke like they just came out of a trance.
If you thought of this scene differently than comedically, I can see why it might seem a bit anticlimactic though.
@@A.E.Personal Yeah NGL when Orym interrupted it destroyed me. The comedic timing of the simple "Chet?" was so good it had me in stitches
The music crescendo into silence at the end of this clip is incredible. So well done. Great editing on this!
This is my favourite moment of campaign 3 thus far
Everything about this is amazing. You can see how into it Matt was, also how immediately went for the old spaghetti western standoff. This is going to be one of the most entertaining plotlines CR has seen!
What a great edit! Hilarious the way you put this together. Such an awesome exchange from that episode.
I love this edit, especially with the spaghetti western music! So much fun!!
I loved this, one of my favorite CR moments of all time
This scene was amazing! Fantastic editing. And I know it wasn't your first choice but the Morricone music was perfect.
Favorite part was the occasional WTF reactions of Liam.
Liams eyes grew 3 sizes when Matt says "what you know about Oltgar"
I love the background music you added in, makes the scene something out of a western cowboy classic 😄
Liam played his small part in this perfectly.
All of this gets at least a little bit funnier when you consider that, between a dwarf, a halfling, and a gnome, none of the characters present are taller than like 4ft lol
