    In hindsight, it's funny Matt mentions Sage as a cleansing herb when the next episode was Wil Wheaton's first CR appearance. After the Wheatoning, Taliesin cleansed the table Wil sat at with Sage incense powdered with dragons blood.

    The way Matt described earthbreaker makes me think of a cross between heihachi from tekken and akuma from street fighter

      You're not wrong. This is also around the time Laura came up with Jester. After seeing Tieflings for the first time with Zahra in their first Vasselheim trip, Laura showed a great interest in that race. It was roughly around the early days of the Chroma Conclave arc that she did that non-canon once-shot on a different channel and created Jester for that, based off her early interest in the race and leading into what she would eventually do for Campaign 2. Not sure when Taliesin created Molly but it was at some point in Campaign 1 as Molly was the backup incase Percy died and I'm pretty sure Travis started the process of making Fjord in the first Vasselheim trip when he went up against that Half-Orc champion in the arena and was impressed by the whole coming back to 1 HP after the first KO thing that lost him that first match. Like Laura's reaction to Zahra being a Tiefling, Travis was rather interested in the Half-Orc race following that, and given both of them liked the idea of a Warlock, both tried going for it once C2 started. It's pretty fun going through C1 with knowledge about their C2 characters and seeing the little bits of things falling into place for them.

      @@Forke13 Knowing the whole situation(everything that was seen,revealed, rumored etc.)it's hard to watch the first 20+ episodes. Hell even the tension remains after he left for a couple more episodes. And then you get the introduction of the best arc of the entire campaign. That's an opinion.

    I wish someone else would play a paladin in their campaign.. Wonder if O ruined that for them ?

    • @birdscritters
      @birdscritters  ปีที่แล้ว +11

      So Tiberius was actually a sorcerer, fun fact Taliesin played a Paladin in the original birthday game before changing to Percy when they swapped over to Pathfinder when they decided to continue the campaign.
      I also agree that it would be amazing to see a Paladin (not a multiclass) in a full season but for now we will just have to be content with how amazing Zerxus was in Calamity ☺️
