@@Lycaon1765 agreed, its relative of course.

But still, it's pretty crazy close. but i guess that again is all relative.
See but that's the thing, moving eating plants down the food chain is less efficient, cows eat so much more plant then you possibly could. So by eating meat you actually indirectly eat MORE plants than you would if you went straight to the source. A steak is like... Twenty salads worth of plant! At least! You gotta play the long game with these things
@@avaty8350 Fjord took one of Molly's swords and his falchion absorbed it. Now instead of the falchion is called the 'star raiser' and looks different with runes and stuff, I can't remember exactly. His sword actually changed again in episode 113 after a certain hdywtdt, but I believe is still called the 'star raiser'
@@SrShotMan it’s not called the star razor because it absorbed Molly’s weapon. Fjord’s original weapon that he had for a long time was a falchion but eventually when he turned against ukotoa he threw it into the lava and he hasn’t gotten it back, the falchion is gone. His new sword that he had created near uthodurn by the dwarves in a volcano is called star razor. And it’s more like a broad sword I believe.
@@massterofeffect6103 Absolutely right, I got the moments mixed up trying to remember off the top of my head. Now it makes sense why is changed after the fight, it's technically a vestige
That just goes to show how talented this group is. I mean...when you can turn a PATCH OF CRABGRASS into a lovable NPC, you have talent the likes of which makes you wonder which deity blessed you. This is pretty much "roll Performance with disadvantage" and getting two Nat20's.
and Henry was almost certainly an improvised NPC! Matt makes such amazing characters, and they're all so different. Pumat, Allura, the goblin merchant who didn't have arms (whose name escapes me), Marion Lavorre, Gilmore, etc are all so different and so loveable in their own different ways.
@@Ellisepha Nature can be cruel and I love whenever people make characters that are in tune with nature have subtle brutal moments like when Caduceus admits that he can talk to plants and after this moment it suddenly seems horrific but he’s still like “yeah but whatever”. I remember a different DnD podcast where someone played a Homebrew character that was a Mushroom Man and a Warden (a more combat oriented Druid) his name was Chromagill due to the fact he has rainbow glowing Mushroom gills. He’s really strong but kind and seeks peace and order for the safety of Nature. He’s True Neutral by the way and the conversation about Terrariums got brought up and everyone was surprised he had no problem with plants being trapped in bottles just to look at. He says happily “If I got mad at everything you fleshies did, none of you would be alive” and continued with his work like nothing happened.
As part of a joke campaign I played a sentient small venus fly trap druid. I was less than 5 pounds in my little pot, so Mage Hand allowed me to fly. Since I was a plant already, my druidic philosophy was to protect civilization (cities) from the encroaching, dangerous, despicable nature (forests, etc.) that sought to consume Humans (and other city dwellers). I was also telepathic. It was pretty funny. I say this to say, Sir Crabgrass as an adventurer would probably be hilarious.
*see's this is a few episodes ahead* well its only jester talking to grass, im sure there cant be any major spoilers... *molly is back* what have I done?!?!
Matt is such a legend for, in a room full of professional voice actors, creating a voice on the fly that makes them all react like that upon first hearing it. 0:30
I know they're professional voice actors but it still blows my mind somedays their capability to so sound so unlike their other voices. Like Cad and Molly. You catch a bit of Tallesin in there but you can tell their different characters with different personalities, and tones, and cadence. It's not tallesin doing a voice but more like the character speaking through him
@@chrisi8373 I started with M9 so when I heard Vex the first time I was like "what?!" Especially because the role Laura did I'm most familiar is is Maka from Soul Eater. Then I looked all her VO roles up and had to reevaluate some things when I saw she also played Lust in FMA
"maybe vegetarians are the real villians" - man that literally put several creatures into slavery to get his cart pulled around and then left them all to die without remorse
I love that Caduceus is so blasé about talking to plants and animals. I mean, technically, anyone can do it, right? The real trick, which he hasn't quite mastered yet, is getting them to talk back.
Also firbolgs have the racial trait of being understood by plants an animals, though firbolgs do not inherently understand in return. So for Cad growing up mostly only with his family who are clerics of the wild mother, talking to plants is likely something his whole family do regularly
this was extremely well done, the way you animated simple-ish shapes to convey everything was brilliant. this is one of the best animatics i've seen for crit role! also, i really enjoyed the rain :)
I've been bingewatching campaign 2 for the first time over the past few months and I always get so excited whenever I finish watching an episode that has an animatic that's been sitting in my recommended for a while. This is so good!!!
The fact that Laura named the crabgrass after Brian W. Foster's dog, look at old Talk Machina clips and you'll see him, he's a big black and white rescue pitbull mutt, is the CUTEST THING
I've been waiting a week binging through podcast after 4 hour long podcast just to catch up to this episode so the clip wouldn't be spoiled. Was not disappointed!
Can't stop coming back and watching this animation. Its Cute, Hilarious, and endearing and I Love the animation! I Think this my fourth or fifth time watching this one!
Brings up an interesting point, is it then worse in D&D to be a vegetarian, because you're eating all of your food while it's still alive, whereas the meat you eat is dead before it touches the plate?
To be fair, I guess some plants would be dead by the time it got to your plate? Like if you cook a vegetable, surely it’s dead by then... but if you pick an apple off a tree, surely it’s the tree that’s alive and not the apple. So are you like, pulling a limb off and eating it in front of the poor tree? 😶
Okay, but those plants still have to be cooked alive, right? Like, you do sometimes boil crayfish or lobster or something alive, but it's nicer to the animal to kill it before doing that, like by freezing it or something. I think when a plant fruits, because there's seeds in it what you're actually doing is eating either a baby or a fetus, particularly with apple trees because they need a male and a female tree near one another before they fruit. So no, you're not eating a limb, you're eating its baby.
@@SirJonathonDanielGregorySrVthe I'm pretty sure most vegetables aren't necessarily alive once they get picked from where they were. Once their roots are destroyed i'm pretty sure they die (since it would be the equivalent of destroying a person's veins...you can't really live long without those) and what we have left is a corpse that is slowly decomposing (except like maybe carrots and potatoes that seem to be able to re-root themselves {exp from my own fridge...don't wait too long or they do that lol} Fruits are more like sperm XD they fall off the plant and with luck they implant themselves into the ground ol' mother earth ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) In the world of D&D we're all monsters no matter what we do or don't eat XD
@@secondrateseth8360 apples house seeds so I guess eating fruit is like eating a chicken egg. But veggies, some aren't dead after they are picked. Like potatoes and root veggies can keep growing or clone themselves if put back in the ground. plants are strange.
Oh my god. I just realized Cad has been talking to these plants and stuff all this time, asking them to let them through places. HE WAS ACTUALLY TALKING TO THEM AND NOT JUST BEING SILLY.
Yup. Firbolgs have a racial ability to talk and be understood by all animals and plants. He cant understand them back without a spell but yes he's actually talking to them intentionally and respectfully
i like to think there was a time Cad used speak with plants in his early years to talk to some plants he was gonna eat ...just to see if he shouldnt. And since the plant was plucked or cut or whatever it was just screaming...and he never did that again o-o;
I gotta say, yes your animation is amazing, and sure character faces are very expressive. But what I really love (that people should notice more too) is how well you add sounds and effects to add to the video experience.
I love the decision to give Henry a little face. It really emphasizes how confused even he is by the sudden sentience

Love how Fjord still goofs he said “I summon the Fal…” when at this point he has the Starrazer
Oh my god. I just realized Cad has been talking to these plants and stuff all this time, asking them to let them through places. HE WAS ACTUALLY TALKING TO THEM AND NOT JUST BEING SILLY.
Yup. Firbolgs have a racial ability to talk and be understood by all animals and plants. He cant understand them back without a spell but yes he's actually talking to them intentionally and respectfully
loved every second of it!
i like to think there was a time Cad used speak with plants in his early years to talk to some plants he was gonna eat ...just to see if he shouldnt. And since the plant was plucked or cut or whatever it was just screaming...and he never did that again o-o;
"I summon the fal-"
Nice catch!
Travis’ characters threatening grass is a reoccurring theme apparently
I gotta say, yes your animation is amazing, and sure character faces are very expressive. But what I really love (that people should notice more too) is how well you add sounds and effects to add to the video experience.
I...this is so beautiful....it...the way she started speaking simply...
I did not know I needed this but I really did
AAAAAH HENRY IS ONLY A FACE AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH ☺️
I love how he says falchion, and you animated it like the falchion, then had him holding the star razor in the next frame
