how Ironic that Travis is wearing a Mollymauk T-shirt
omg stop flashbacks
Dairy Cream5 I was waiting for someone to say it-
They kept jamming the sword in his chest too.
*weeeeze*
Didn't even showed the most scary reactions of all of this:
_Caduceus' _*_A N G E R_*
I know most people talk about how angry caduceus was in this, and that was indeed spectacular, but can we just talk about caleb for a moment?
This guy has gone from "I hate these people, and I will stay as far away from danger as possible" to diving out of a window to get CLOSER to the battle, going straight for the kill with Disintegrate and keeping Fjord on the Ship - Caduceus was angry, but Caleb was having none of this shit either
Fjord: wears no armor to sleep. Dies.
Grog: Always wears armor to sleep, Except at houses of lady-favors.
Grog didn't wear armor ever, he was a barbarian 😊
Grog's AC won't change even a bit if he's butt naked. (As long as he's allowed to wear his amulet of defense to bed). And the moment you hit him, he'll go into rage, and now he's reducing incoming damage by half. Two wildly different characters.
@@Croecho not sure if you guys heard of this new phenomenon yet, but i think a friend of mine called it a "joke"
@@XpVersusVista a joke had to be funny, more or less with context, grog does not wear armor ever, so the joke just sucks
@@syegfryedhellscream9508 ya know it was travis who in fact said "always wears armor to sleep, except at houses of lady favors" in a game right?
Fjord is my favorite character and I am very distressed about this whole situation but I also can't stop thinking about how someone NEEDS to animate that moment of him falling off the mast, casting hexblades curse, and bamfing up to the crow's nest
it's already done by Lap Pun Cheung here: th-cam.com/video/YUUKhdFwSNo/w-d-xo.html, or you can find it on his twitter.
@@alexc1 beat me to it lad 😂
@@alexc1 My God that is awesome
@@The_Anthologist It really is
sadly they were both bonus actions :(
And this, my children, is why adventurers sleep in the same bedroom. _Always_
And bring their weapons/gear everywhere. Even the bathroom, especially the bathroom.
One big bed is the best option I think. 😉
After an assassination attempt against my sorcereress where the rogue died, I told the party "this is why my character is such a slut, so somebody else can die instead of me whenever the DM decides its time for assassins".
Fireball. RIP
4:25 Caleb's desintegrate - the way Liam's voice is just this side of breaking is making my heart ache
I'd say the most coolest reaction out of them all considering the previous conversation Caleb had with him.
Imagine if this happened at the live show, I wonder how the crowd would have reacted?
there would have been riots
We would have lost our shit.
Crowd baying for Matt's blood.
Matt was prepped for this to happen at the live show too, marisha and the cast said he had the map backstage
Probably the same way I reacted at home, standing up and screaming at my monitor.
laura and tal looked like they were going to commit murder this episode
The terrain really cockblocked them from being able to do cleric things. They were stuck under the deck while Fjord and Orly were getting their asses beat above deck.
With the night ambush (sleeping, no armor), the terrain (narrow hallways, one way to the upper deck, and subsequent traffic jams), and the specific attacks (grappling restricting movement), the M9 were definitely going to take casualties. In a straighter fight the seaspawn probably would have been stomped, but they attacked the M9 in a uniquely vulnerable situation.
Very Pirates of the Caribbean 1, Barbossa's crew sneaking onto the Dauntless stuff.
Also, Jester and Caduceus have unique bonds to Fjord so not being able to save him would really feel like a personal failure to them
Seeing Taliesin, absolutely red-faced and mad, and then picturing Caduceus with the same expression on his face, really sent this home. Everyone in the M9 was pissed, even Caduceus.
Mollymauk died by a glave through his chest.
Fjord plunged the falchion in his chest when testing uk'otoa
Fjord dies by the falchion through his chest
I was watching the episode earlier and spoiled myself by accident even watching it unfurl was nerve-racking with everything happening my focus was on Travis's shirt
I've said this multiple times
I cant wait for artwork on this battle
Caleb flying like doctor strange shooting a counter spell
Yasha running raging onto the leader with beau in battle tears and rain running down her face
Jester and clay rushing up the stairs to find 2 of their friends dead.
and Veth spending the entire fight unable to get out of a hammock :)
Critical role's avengers just lost their Thor. Sucks RIP FJORD!!
@@Brotus_Brunfist they still have time to revivify but yeah he is dead, for now. Matt had me losing my sh*t.
thank god the coronavirus shutdown didn't happen a week earlier and we're not on indefinite hiatus with THIS cliffhanger
I loved that moment when Caduceus saw them against all odds and healed people and then his beetles ate like 3 dudes, it was really cool and badass!!! :)
As soon as Fjord fell from the Crow's nest there was no chance in hell that warlock assassin was making it off that ship alive
That crack of thunder when Matt calls for initiative is 🔥🔥🔥
It started raining here. It was spooky!
Mercer's getting cheeky with the music and I dig it.
Maybe this is how people should write fantasy stories. Make characters, and play with the chance of dice lol
I'm writing a book more or less like this and I can confirm...... it's stressful
There was a fantasy series that did that.
It was called the Malazan Book of the Fallen.
Some of the most crucial fights of the series were determined by dice rolls, and a lot of the stories were dramatizations of homebrew roleplaying sessions.
It has a devoted fanbase, but... there were clearly some janky moments where blind luck and dumb chance really got in the way of a promising story.
@@ephilbin That's what I was thinking. People would have an absolute fit with some of the things that can happen of a nat 1 or 20.
Not fantasy, but the Expanse books started as a dnd game that got novelized later.
If they screw this up because of the SJW, BLM, and Antifa lunatics screaming about how 'racist' orcs are, or they scream "it's too violent" I'm quitting Critical Role.
Both of these epic stories are glorious and perfect. CRITICAL ROLE DON'T CHANGE EVER!
This only hurts more with the conversation he had with Caleb the day before. If someone were to clip those things together I'd probably cry
When fjord woke up with the falcon in his chest, I had the same reaction as Travis. My jaw literally hurt. Notice how Matt killed Orly almost exactly how chefs kill turtles
Angry Cadeuces this episode.
Like, I think this is the closest weve seen him to legitimately angry.
And it is a calm, focussed, stoic anger.
I want a super cut of angry caduces. It was such an amazing moment
ikr look at him shaking at 4:01
@@KayveePlays he has a condition that causes the shaking of his hands from what i heard.
Armand von Lyonar @coinboy75 Yeah, he has a tremor in his hand that gets worse with stress (he expands more on this during his episode of Mini Primetime). I could only imagine how stressful this must have been 💀💀
Caduceus doesn't anger easily. And I don't think it's that he doesn't get angry - he just saves it for when he needs it. And when the need arises, he focuses it like a laser, and burns through his foes.
The music added a whole new layer of tension I didn't think was possible 😭
(thanks for the hug at the live show btw! It was nice meeting you!)
It was nice meeting you too! See you at the next one! ;D
when the sword was in chest my first thought was Avantica as a revenant stalking Fjord. Well, maybe later. ^_^
Grey Shard I keep thinking it was her too, or the assassin lady from a new episode ago.
@@TheDangerousWonder I keep expecting Sabian to turn up with the Sword of Fathoms at some point.
@@michaelbryant3640 Honestly, same mate
Well good news
That’s what Travis gets for wearing the Mollymauk shirt!
The amount of epic moments lately has been absolutely ridiculous and I don't think it's going to stop any time soon.
Fjord not only had one of the best character arcs, but also one of the coolest designed of season 2. Either they have revive spells ready , but if they dont then a new character is underway.
Knyren11 I think they are at a high enough level now where they could try raise dead the next day if they had too.
@@TheDangerousWonder level 10 and or 11 do have those abilities and items able to do that, but do they have them on hand and ready is the question that needs to be answered next time
Knyren11 true, but because raise dead has a 10 day window, I think they can figure something out. But oh man I’m so excited to see how they work this out!!
@@TheDangerousWonder Cad has Gentle Repose good to go, if Tal checks his spell list, Fjord is fine, they can use revivify as far off in the future as they have to
@@TheDangerousWonder Latest episode came out last thursday. Turns out they were prepaired
Thank you again Niko! Q's for Critters, as I only started following at episode 86...
1. Fjord knew this was coming (as Matt is a conniving bastard, and an excellent DM)
2. The few sea voyage episodes I've backtracked thru have always proved disastrous.
3. Matt made a point of seeing what preparations they had made and no one got it
Ever gone hiking & camping? Slept in your gear? Woke up fresh & ready to go? The answer is NO. You don't.
@@uncah_bucchal2953 I dont even wake up fresh and ready to go when I'm sleeping in my bed without my gear on. so I guess I wouldn't last a second in a fantasy world :c
...is it wrong that I want a "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" ending-type scenario...?
One where all the grieving members of the Mighty Nein all talk about what a friend & legendary captain Fjord is, and a mysterious mystic offers them a chance to reclaim his soul from Uk-Toa?
...and then Avantika just casually steps down from somewhere in a surprise reveal?
...no?
Grief takes me to unusual places.
Tony Favilla Only if Avantika decided to be like “fuck Ukotoa” after dying, and help the Nein just to spite him. That’d actually be pretty interesting if a bit silly.
That is actually amazing
Or Vandrin instead.
YouAnd OnlyYou that’d be AWESOME. Like maybe Travis comes in as Vandran? I dunno
This was some Orthax and Ripley level stuff here.
Nah that comes when the old snea snek brings avantica back
That's what scares me about the coming resurrection attempt. Percy was ultimately revived, but they had to get Orthax to bugger off first. Uk'otoa could be doing the same thing to Fjord.
Kaitlyn Wickham Yeah, and this time, there’s no gun to greater restoration his connection away. Maybe somehow get the orb out of him, but I agree. I think this is gonna get complicated.
@@artstarz7642 _I forgot they had to target the gun._ 😨
Kaitlyn Wickham of course, Orthax and Percy had a very different relationship than Fjord and Ukatoa. Percy, and later Ripley, was giving the souls of the people on his List to Orthax, and when he was on Ripley’s and she killed him, his did in turn go to Orthax as well. That isn’t the case with Fjord. His deal never had anything like that. He broke off their connection as well, and now has one with the Wildmother. He just fjorgot that he still had an orb in him, which may complicate things, but I’m not sure why it would stop him from being resurrected. The problem of having the orb is that an attack like this happened in the first place, and will likely happen again, should they not get it out somehow, and/or stay on the ocean for too long with it. Plus, the creatures didn’t get what they wanted by him dying, as evidenced by them trying to steal his body. If the goal was to kill him to take his soul, they probably would have just left after. Instead, he wasted so much movement trying to drag his body over the edge of the boat.
Long ramble aside, I think this ‘arrangement’ will have different consequences. I don’t think Matt will want to copy paste from the first campaign anyway.
I cried during this episode.
same ;-;
I almost cried watching this episode but I'm crying my eyes out rewatching this
Well done, sir
Fantastic editing, but I'd have love it if you included what Yasha did to the guy that actually killed Fjord.
I loved this fight, mainly because I love Matt when he goes savage DM, punishing Travis and all of them for seemingly thinking they had escaped Ukotoa's promised punishment and dared him by setting sail in his domain. I knew he was gonna make an appearance somewhere on this voyage. As a DM myself who had a party that barely payed attention to my storylines only to get salty when it comes back to haunt them, so delicious.
"As you're winded"
Travis: 'u'
"A dark figure stands over your bed"
Travis: '-'
God the amount of sobbing I did in this episode
It was just too much D:
@@NicoNeilson it really was 😭
Oh please. They have 2 clerics. No one is going to die permanently again. As a matter of fact I wonder how it's gonna work when molly comes back when the get Resurrect.
@@blockhead134 aren't I allowed to be emotional over my favourite characters? Yes they may have two clerics, but I'm allowed to still get worried about it.
The Molly t shirt...
This was truly amazing role-playing. Plus Matt worked his buns off on this episode and it shows. Thursday though, cannot come fast enough for any of us.
Oml I was shaking while watching this. To say this was shocking would be a helluva understatement
That extended shoulder grab reminded me of campaign one's counterspell at the end. Right in the feels, man.
The music choice is so good!!
I understand this was a big event, but I was more interested in archiving the visit to the Fish Market.
What an episode. Great highlights and the music was phenomenal for this.
Nico. what an amazing video. thank you for this experience.
Thank you
Man... my nerves were SHOT after watching this episode! I am SO relieved Caleb got that counterspell off, whew~!!
Also, amazing job with this video. Exactly how it should be edited for full effect. Thanks for this!
I’m half expecting Sabian to be revealed as the Champion of Uk’atoa later down the road.
How your loved ones react to your death shows how much they appreciated you in live, and seeing how the Mighty Nein go berserk one by one truly reflects how deep and strong their bond with Fjord is.
This was a thrill to see, just so much emotional weight packed in such a short period of time
This is gonna go down as one of the most emotional moments of this campaign for me.
God I would love to see this animated!
1:01 Travis was pretty okay, but at 1:16 when Matt mentions that figure his panicked smile just drops and it amuses me every time. Really shows how good Matt is at scaring the party :)
Travis' reactions to Matt's story telling is why I come back every Thursday
Counterspell saving the day, once again.
This is my favorite episode in a looong time, so many good moments
Yo, the music and the editing on this one was awesome! Nice job as always
Thursday will be interesting because I'm sure that Travis will have created a back-up Character should they not be able to Resurrect Fjord. Which, if that happens, it'll be unfortunate because Travis will either then sit there & do nothing until his new Character appears or will be sitting behind stage/in another room for the rest of the episode.
Because Fjord wasn't the only one that died, you also have Oarly (sp?), which means that which ever spell they use [Spare the Dying won't work because it only works on a living creature with 0 hp, at this point they're both dead], they're going to need twice the materials & for some of the spells it would depend on if they had/have them prepared:
Revivify (3rd Level) - WOULD have to have had it prepared before the encounter because it can only be used on a creature that has died in the past minute. IF neither Jester nor Clay had it already prepared then they won't be able to cast the spell ---- Requires a Diamond worth 300 Gold [x2 for each]
Resurrection (7th Level, once they are Level 13, they have access to 7th Level Spells) - They have some time on this as the dead couldn't have been dead longer than a Century. HOWEVER, the Soul has to be free & willing, and since those that attacked them & killed Fjord are agents of Okatoa (sp?), who knows if Fjord's soul would actually be "free". Oarly's soul would most likely be free, but might not necessarily be willing, due to personal beliefs or whatever, also depends on the rolls & what the members "bring to the table" to resurrect/convince Oarly to return. --- Requires a Diamond worth 1,000 Gold [x2 for each]
Reincarnate (5th Level, Druid Only)
True Resurrection (9th Level, neither have this as they'll get their 9th Level Slot at Level 17, & they aren't there yet)
According to the Critical Role Wikia, Jester is only Level 11 so she won't have access to Resurrection yet & while she does have a (only 1) Diamond [according to wikia] it is only worth 50 Gold, so tmk, she doesn't have a 300 Gold Diamond. Also, according to the Wikia, Clay is also only Level 11 so Resurrection spell is out, and according to the Wikia, Clay doesn't have any Diamonds in his inventory, so Revivify may also end up being out of the question.
I am pretty sure Cad bought Diamonds when he was shopping.
@@nathanward117 I can't remember if he did or not.
Also Taliesin said he had something that will help at the end of the game
They can also use Raise Dead, which both Cad and Jester have access to as clerics. It's a 5th level spell I believe
@@darkdestiny661 that one requires a 500 Gold Diamond (x2)
This is an incredible edit, love the music.
That whole combat scene gave me heart palpitations
This is devastating. I consider Fjord and Beau to be the unofficial leaders of the M9, and watching Fjord die as well as Beau's reaction to it is heartbreaking.
But that is why I love D&D and this show. They all played the scene so beautifully despite what was happening, and really made you feel it.
This was one of the best, if not THE best climax battle in both Campaigns 1 and 2.
To explain the last part, this episode was an hour longer than usual (5 hours instead of 4).
Ugh I was so gutted. Still gutted
So was Fjord
@@rowansjet 😂
rowansjet Was totally asking for that.
@@rowansjet 😂
@@rowansjet Too fucking soon
The only thing that could have made this whole battle more amazing/epic/scaryAF would be Matt adding Okotoas “punish” when Fjord died! Even without that this was still one for the highlight reel of campaign 2!👏👏👏👏
Ya know, I fell asleep on the very Thursday this episode went live and I woke up towards the time where it ends like "Shit!" I went into Twitch and clicked on the episode... And the first thing I'm greeted with is Yasha letting out her battle cry at the sight of Fjord laying unconscious on the deck...
That was a fun night.
The editing on this video is still freaking spectacular. Love it!!
Man, sucks I was like half asleep when this was live
The music used in this video is phenomenal! Wonderful job
Like the scenes themselves were already tense and full of heartstrings moments but the music * chef's kiss * just intensified all the moments 10 fold
This is such a great highlight edit! The music! The zooms! The reactions! Aaahhh Thank you!
Best put together highlights ever, thanks it was all a blur at the time
Great that you put music over it so we can hear less of what's happening :D
Can I say: You did a wonderful job editing this already amazing scene! Absolutely great. :)
Thank you!
this was so tense oh my goodness. the way the music fits is amazing!!
the dream waking up into the combat is one of the best narrative descriptions in DND i have heard.... the description of the booming pain in his chest turning into the pain of the stab wound, the description of not being able to scream correlates to a victim of a punctured lung.... that whole dream/Uk'otoa scion reveal is just a masterclass in auditory storytelling, Love It!
Interesting point of order. Death Saves typically are flat saves with zero bonuses possible. But they are still saving throws, and Yashas battlecry, which is divinely powered, grants advantage on saving throws, which I would have argued can apply on Death Saves.
The chat that night was an absolute despicable shitshow. I got so mad seeing the chat screaming at Matt. These episodes are the best and most amazing.
High Intense combat, an amazing story to back up the encounter (You didn't all expect Uk'otoa to just let him go after betraying him right??) and lots of emotion and "What do we do now?"
People need to remember that it's not their game and to stop screaming at Matt. His doing an amazing job! If you can't handle emotional high intensive combat, then just don't talk.
All power and love to Matt!
A bit late but Liam's face on the thumbnail is amazing.
Wow this was amazingly edited Nico! Great job capturing the drama and amazingness of this episode!
This was a brutal fight. I knew Fjord was probably gonna buy it from the second the fight started. Hopefully, the M9 will be able to revive him.
I felt like I needed to give Travis a hug after this.
I really love your videos because i have to watch the stream late and most of the time i fall asleep and miss the best parts thx for the videos
Very well put together. I always enjoy your work but this is next level work.
They need to have guard duty to diminish the chances of a sneak attack like this again. Also none of them should sleep alone or without armor.
Brent Hutchinson Matt said that if they sleep with armpit they would get a point of exhaustion.
You ever been out on the ocean at night in a storm? there is literally nothing they could have done to avoid this.
You can actually see Travis and Marisha discussing at some point during the fight, they were like: "we should have Caleb make the dome spell around us for the rest of the trip
Onyx Crescent I think that is the only thing they could have done but even the crew would have been attacked and it would have still been bad.
@@TheDangerousWonder Not to mention, they're out on the open ocean. Where are they gonna run?
Brooooo this gave me chills, amazing editing work!! 😍😍😍
Excellent edit!!
If this part weren't so spoiler-ific, I would use this video as a trailer to convince my friends to watch! Sooooooo good ♥
Hey man, don't know if you read comments, but I love your content. Great edits, always the first thing I watch after an episode of CR
Thank you! I seriously appreciate all the support y'all show
I was so stressed and worry for Fjord watching this! These guys are amazing
Perfect music for this video!
This was a great edit! The music was perfect!
holy goodness
Hard agree
I see a little bit of Percy peaking through Jaffe at the end.
This is amazing. Great work
6:23 that look of love between Liam and Travis made me smile today. My two favorite guys in CR bromancing
An absolutely powerful episode
amazing editing, man
Lowkey can you imagine if they'd missed a week or this had happened just a week later and we would have had to wait through the entire 3 month COVID hiatus to see if Fjord would get revived?
This was a great edit
Excellent choice of music.
Watch Matt. Watch how excited he is whipping out that map.
This needs to be animated this to EPIC of a scene
Imagine if Travis said "You saved a counter spell for me?"
Still trying to catch up in the series. On episode 36 right now. I can’t help but watch these highlights in advance. But. Shit. Oh well
Could you imagine if the episode before this was the quarantine episode?
Does it mean that Vandrin is dead?
Do the spheres imbeded in the followers of u'katoa go back to the temples where they were found if not collected?
After Fjord died the creature tried to carve it out or take him away to extract it...
So if it needs to be extracted that means that either Vandrin was found on the island and killed after abandoning his patron, or this creatures found Avantika in the waters after she was sentenced to death by the Plaint-King and thrown into the waters of Darktow
Matt is a sadistic genius, he put the group in a position where they gonna have to choose between Fjord and Orly!
I .... should not of watched ... yet.
The ep is on my phone ready to watch, umm didn't expect ... 🥺 ... dang ...
Wow.. Ok... still at work ...
*_Why does it have to be Fjord._*
because he is the one who played chicken with an eldritch abomination?
