    A few things: Keyleth had a crush on both twins at some point, but that blush is about getting validation and praise from Vex, who has been pretty harsh on her the whole time.

      When Grog is in one of his 1-on-1 fights, Vex asks the group, "Should I flash him? Can't hurt right?"
      And Keyleth says under her breath, "I-it couldn't hurt the rest of us either..."

    Thing about "plot armor" - it doesn't exist in D&D. Especially not in the way Matt Mercer handles spells to bring back the dead... there's always a very real chance that a dead character is permanently dead. Not a spoiler... just something you need to build into your expectations.

    The kickstarter was originally to fund episodes 1&2 as a pilot so that they could shop it around and then it took off and they got enough money for 10 episodes (Amazon upped it to 12). That is part of the reason these 2 episodes feel different, they only committed to the Briarwood arc once the kickstarter started going crazy and they knew they would have the budget to do it.

      No, the kickstarter was funding for a special that was like 40 minutes long. They ended up splitting it into 2 episodes though for obvious reasons. The reason why episode 11 and 12 have better action is because of the fact that those 2 episodes were funded by amazon.

    @arandomnamegoeshere 2 ปีที่แล้ว +34

    My take on Percy and his demon...
    Within D&D lore we have fiends (demons and devils - we won't get in to what makes them different) who use souls in various ways to essentially gain power. For some uses, the soul has to be corrupt (read: evil). There's some additional power advantage if the fiend can corrupt an otherwise good soul before collecting it.
    When Scanlan asks who the sixth barrel is for... Orthax projects a shadow of Percy aiming the pepper box at his own head. That is both telling and deceiving. The intent isn't just to kill Percy (we see Orthax resist Percy's attempt to kill himself in this episode). It is to corrupt Percy's soul and then collect. Because Orthax is a deceiver. It whispered the secrets of the pepper box in to Percy's dreams and set an unspoken pact. Percy didn't just craft a machine of destruction unknown to those in his time, but a magical weapon. The names on the barrel are not a list of revenge but whispers from Orthax. Whispers that would lead Percy to kill innocents - to kill his own friends. In those last moments, Orthax is driving Percy to corruption. But Percy resists. And when Orthax turns to Percy collecting a soul he has every reason to kill, Percy shoots himself instead. Percy mames himself rather than do the one thing Percy has spent his entire life striving to do.
    Orthax knows he... overplayed his hand. So the demon feigns defeat. If Percy had continued to use the pepper box, Orthax would have began anew. But then some small agent of chaos sweeps up the symbol of Orthax's deceptive pact and destroys it; severing Orthax's link to Percy.

  • @HowManyTimes234

    The gem in Percy's hand is what whitestone is refined into, which counts as a substitute for magical components. Essentially, it's raw magical energy condensed into a crystal, so now Percy's future firearm projects have the ability to have magical effects. He had to blow a hole in his hand to do it, but he basically leveled up.

  • @ticozayas6430
    @ticozayas6430 2 ปีที่แล้ว +75

    Let me try to explain this, while plot armor is a thing in fiction, this show is based off a dnd game and there is no such thing as plot armor in dnd, everything is up to dice rolls, usually someone on deaths door can be picked up by a healing spell, but if they are dead they are dead, there are resurrection spells that can be very expensive to cast, but if you have the materials u can get it done and the person comes back... basically you can whack a mole in dnd if you have the spells and mats (usually expensive diamonds).... Matt Mercer the dm for Critical Role usually turns a resurrection into a skill challenge for his players, to make deaths and resurrections actually mean something... if they roll poorly in the resurrection ritual (usually a three part challenge) the person dies, if they roll well the person comes back... here she wasn't dead but almost dead so it just took some healing magic.
    Now to try and explain breaking the deal Percy made with the demon, Percy is left handed and he shot his left hand, his shooting hand... he partially broke the pact by not being able to fulfill it by crippling his hand in the moment, and Scanlan severed the tie to the actual gun by melting it, breaking all ties to the demon (who was voiced by Matt Mercer).
    Keyleth didn't tell Vax no, she just said not right now. Also the blush after vex complimented her was more "the person I want to be like is acknowledging me and encouraging me for the first time" than what you were probably thinking lol
    The gem in Percy's prosthetic was residuum... Can't wait for season 2 those dragons are WAAAAAAAAY stronger and WAAAAAAY bigger than Brimsythe who is basically an adolescent in comparison to them, in dnd dragons get bigger and more powerful the older they are, and these new 4 are ancient dragons.

    Edit 1: so scanlan is a bard, the idea behind them is they get there magic through rhythm, movement and song. Keyleith as a druid draws her magic from nature. basicelly the herbs have to be magically charged, so scanlan used his thing to do it instead of keyleiths.

    So now that you've seen it, I can explain a couple of things. The 6th barrel wa sa never meant for Percy. If he had finished his list, another name would have appeared. Then another. And another. Itd be an endless cycle of death so that Percy could have continued to feed Orthax's soul. Every person that Percy killed with that gun had their soul devoured by Orthax. Destroying the gun severed Percy's pact with Orthax that he had unknowingly entered into.

      It's a bit of both. The empty barrel *is* meant for Percy, but not for him to shoot and kill himself.
      If Percy had killed Delilah, Orthax would have gotten a new meat puppet to continue harvesting souls for him, as you said - by name after name appearing on the Pepperbox. Until the puppet dies of old age or is killed/destroyed. And Percy's soul would be somewhere in the Abyss as Orthax plaything.

    This show is based off a d&d campaign and Matt Mercer is ruthless.... there is NO plot armor in this show. Anyone can die at any point. The main difference here is that in the stream it was Vex that went down.

    • @alecLogan
      @alecLogan 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Well, very technically speaking, there are _some_ class feature specific plot armors that function more as a “you’ve completed the game/advanced this far, if you manage to die at this point it’s really your own fault,” but as that caveat is left in to begin with, it’s not functionally proper plot armor.
      But that is more of a general thing to the game itself than particular to the show.

      @@ryanbrooks8045 Exactly. All it takes is "oh hey, this lair that you're in has this thing that negates a certain feature or ability you need to survive" and such. Hell, there's a rather infamous moment late in campaign 1 where due to circumstances of where the party was and a certain individual going down to having to make death saving throws, had they died due to a bad roll Matt realizes after the fact that it would 100% be campaign over. There was no recovering from where they were had that character died there.

    Anyways the best part about the whole Scanlan throwing the gun, in the campaign, that's exactly what his player did, not because he actually thought it's what needed to be done, but because Sam, Scanlan player and VA (AND DAYTIME EMMY WINNER), is just a major troll and wanted to fuck with Talisien, Percy's VA. Turned out it was the correct move. Absolute golden moment.

    Twelve episodes in and the girl still thinks Scanlon is called "scallion," which would mean he was named after a green onion! LOL
    Keyleth actualy really admires and respects Vex'ahlia. She sees her as quick-thinking, strong and confident -- all the things Keyleth would like herself to be. So Vex showing faith in Keyleth's abilities instead of giving her a hard time, as she has in the past, means a lot to her.

    • @rogue7723
      @rogue7723 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Everything you said is perfect, but I think Vex _always_ had faith in Keyleth’s abilities. You’ll notice in earlier episodes Vex would call on KeKe to do something in battle, so she _clearly_ sees Keyleth as a powerful and worth teammate, she just didn’t like Vax and Keyleth becoming a couple because Vex has trust issues and _(initially)_ thinks any stranger who shows her and Vax kindness has an angle.

    Some DnD basics on dragons, there are three types; metallic, gem and chromatic, Metallic are good, gems are neutral and chromatic are evil. The common chromatics are red, blue, green, black and white. Each have a different breath weapon; red is fire, blue is lightning, green is poison gas cloud, black is an acid stream and white is frost. Evil dragons venerate/worship Tiamat, a five headed dragon, one head for each color, that is supposedly the original mother of the first of the chromatic dragons. Different campaigns call her by other names. It is not a trademarked name by WotC, so they can actually use her name in the show if they want, unlike Vecna who was the "Whispered One", Bigby's Hand which is the spell Scanlan used many times. I am not sure who the "Everlight" or "Dawnfather" are, but I am sure they are the trademarked names of some campaign deities, though if I had to guess, Dawnfather sounds like Pelor from Greyhawk as "The Dawnfather" is a way to reference him. Perhaps someone who kept up with Critical Roll can answer that.

    • @NuclearNoxi

The four that are currently closing in on the Cloudtop are *ANCIENT* Dragons, and dragons get *SIGNIFICANTLY* more powerful with age.

    I won't spoil what Percy's new hand gadget does but I will tell you that it's called "Diplomacy". The gun he was working on is called "Retort". He also still has "Bad News" which he finally completes around this time. (There's "Manners" too but that won't come into play until much later.) Percy's weapon name game is on point. They're all very appropriate names and they exude the pomposity that you expect from Lord Percival Fredrickstein Von Mussel Kowalski De Rolo III.
