Read another comment basically explaining it as remorselessly feeding the children to the war machine for profit, using any means necessary for the "greater good"
@@bezretmet Idk, Eodwulf has kinda been portrayed as sort of mindless, in the way that he does whatever Trent tells him to, and believes whatever he is told, not thinking for himself in that way. And Caleb is portrayed as without a heart because I think caleb thinks of himself as unworthy of love, or loveless, and sort of being fucked emotionally.
I think the fact Astrid lost her eye also represents how she can't see what she was doing was wrong. She still believes their sacrifices were for the greater good of those who were weaker because that ideology was forced onto her.
@@yam3946 (spoilers) yeah and when Caleb visited Astrid, he tried to imply that their memories were wrong, or at least their actions tampered with. She just kinda blew it off, remaining blind to the truth of it all.
yeah me too, turns out they did an animation of the original story, complete with all the spooky-ness and I love Caleb tossing the fire up and the story being told through it
What was I talking about? Oh, yeah, my victory in the Crucible! So our story of higher reality ends when Beauregard went “pop pop” and turned Madame Bacardi into a purple gem, which Pauley used to create a pair of magical glasses. Pauley then used the glasses to gaze into the vortex and find that the Ruby of the Sea was the best lay ever, for she had an odd lupine flavor…
I love how that Liam used the side series/oneshots to further tell the story about Caleb. the fairy tale here, and the MLP oneshot that totally wasn't caleb's escape fantasy.
"There once was a boy who liked to suck his thumb. His mother told him to stop but he did not, so she cut off his thumbs. Now he has no thumbs. Goodnight."
It was not the mother who cut off his thumbs, but the taylor. The mother just warned him about the taylor with his big sicours if he don't stop. - my Mama read those storys to me when I was little
I didnt even get the reference to the three students of Ikethon or whatever and Caleb himself until I saw this animatic. Bro that hit me real hard thank you.
I was moved to tears when I heard the original story and realized who the three kinder were... Your visualizations have done so again, especially with the morphing visions of fire and the terrifying visages of who the three are now. Well done and bravo!
Gotta hand it to liam. That was a pretty tense story being a part of caleb's backstory or not. And great job on the animation. Really added to the eerieness of the story.
To be honest I'm most impressed by his nigh-flawless alternating between German and English as even as native speaker whose English has been called perfect by native speakers I often find myself speaking the following word with an accent. That is not to say the animation was unimpressive, it was gorgeous, full of depth and movement. Well done.
So I watched this without volume in public and despite not being able to hear anything I felt every beat and got goosebumps at all the right points. You know it's great animation when it makes you hear the voice of the storyteller even when you can't actually hear it.
Well that's German stories for you a happy ending is rarely seen, a fitting name that most are called "grim". This is amazing the level of detail even the hag's foggy eyes are chilling!
@@smartmouth4444 I mean Vax was basically doomed to live a short life because of a rash deal he made with The Raven Queen, which would irritate me. Also if you know what Liam was going through at the time, you can see why he made Vax the way he was.
That's how Liam intended it to be interpreted, as a metaphor to Caleb's backstory, but the way the artist imagined the story is indeed to truly awe inspiring.
@@Ellisepha I know this is fantasy land, but you can't just go around putting y's in places! Next thing you know we'll have Sc'anl'an and Graag (I'd have tossed in some umlaut's if I knew how). Pike Trickfoot is her name, wear it out if it helps somebody I guess.
Holy crap, great material to work with. Very much in the vain of a Grimm Folklorish tail. LOVE how you worked in the imagery of Caleb for the third child 😍👍🤘.
Yeah! Liam said afterwards that the three children were Aoldwolf (bad spelling), Astrid, and Caleb (in that order). It was a really nice detail in the story.
5th time watching. I loved every episode of telephone and am very much looking forward to season 2, but no ones story comes close to Liams. I think part of it is that it links to his characters lore, but I also think that he just took the story writing aspect of it super seriously. Still love them all equally, and I'm super happy that these awesome people decided to share their home game and their lives with us.
Season 2 is confirmed! And yes I completely agreed with you. Caleb's story just has so many things (theme, tone, literary techniques, language, lore) going for it and it stands out from the rest because of how unique it is.
Good grief there's so much to work with! The story is fantastic and the animation gives it the appropriate visualization to make it hit home. Fantastic job.
YEEESSSSSS this is awesome! You brought the scary vibe of his original story and RAN with it! I especially love the design of the Waldhexe, and the way it looks like Caleb is telling a campfire story. I like to think he tells this story to Nott one cold winter's night. :O
I had NO IDEA this story was about Eodwulf (mind), Astrid (eye), and Caleb (heart) until after watching this. THIS IS AMAZING! LIAM NEEDS TO SEE THIS! WELL DONE INDEED! XD
@@JeshieWafflez He has pretty consistent PTSD dissociation attacks up until near the end of the campaign whenever he sets a humanoid on fire, and was literally just mindbroken for ten years in the asylum, I think that fits the bill to me.
Liam confirmed it on twitter, actually. Eodwulf thinks not for himself, but for the empire. Astrid sees not Trent Ikithon's true nature. And Caleb believes that he is owed no love from anyone.
Personally the Narrative Telephone isn't my favorite series past the initial story, a couple butcherings later I've had my entertainment. But this one is by far my favorite story so far.
Yeah. Me too. I’ll watch the first maybe second retellings of the story then skip to the cast reacting and maybe speed that up if that’s a little boring.
As opposed to what? Fight back in vain against an overwhelming force that could reduce them to ash with the flick of a finger? Run and be hunted like dogs by an entity that has eyes everywhere and can peer through reality itself to find them wherever they try to hide? To put anyone they spend more than an hour around in mortal danger for the crime of talking to someone?
I want to hear a member of Critical Role tell the tale of some of the cursed items of legend from our D&D setting. Hruska, the blade of Eternal Hunger, haunted by the beast whose fangs were incorporated into its craftsmanship, would be an effective one. Any who wield it are at risk of being possessed by the beast, and will slaughter all in their path.
It wasn’t until I saw the fire that I fully connected this to Caleb’s story. What an amazing animatic. I like how it uses simple figures for the first bit and then became fully realized as the children stepped into the darkness.
I used this is my CoS run. About a 5 sessions in i noticed that a player was having a hard time finding their character's personality and motivations. So i had them each write/parody a fairy tale from their characters homeland, to share a piece of home in Barovia. And since CoS is soooooo dark, this fit perfectly.
Ok but I love the idea that the mighty nein were just fucking around and one of them said " lets tell ghost stories!" And each told bad stories and then Caleb turn came up and he was like "ja ok, sure" And he finishes his story and they all look at each other and are like "holy fuck caleb"
I think it is interesting to realize all three tributes can kind of have the same outcome. You wont believe the truth, you cannot see the truth and the truth will not matter.
I love how the parts that the Waldhexe take from the children mirror Eodwulf, Astrid and Caleb: Eodwulf's mind, Astrid's sight and Caleb's heart. And how the Empire is built on the blood and bones of the innocent. Kudos to Liam to use narrative telephone to tell a metaphorical story delving further into his character's tragic backstory
What Caleb didn't know is that the child whose heart was taken was able to find love and be able to love again. Eight wonderful people found the child as he came out of the woods and helped him make a new heart. The formerly heartless boy built a home for his new family. And eventually, they defeated the Waldhexe. The land was able to flourish without him, growing on the love that the Family of Nine were able to give to each other and to the people of the kingdom.
I really want that crone to be cannon, and the M9 fight it one day, as it would be an evil power that the Empire benefits from by sacrificing children to. I love that Liam's story was not only interesting, but we also learned more about Caleb in the process.
Idk if or how much you are caught up so I won't spoil. But I'd assume you know enough that if I tell you the crone does exist you might make the connection
THE WAY MY JAW DROPPED OH MY GOD!!! It's so fun to get a chance to revisit my favorite narrative telephone story through this INCREDIBLE animatic!! I forgot that Liam decided to mess everybody up by including several real German words in his story 😭
This completely flew over my head the first time I heard this story. Your animation is brilliant and the visuals helped clear up the questions I had about the story, so thank you. :)(:
I had never quite noticed how the playmat continues to be the ground, which is a nice little nod to the fact that this isn't just a tale, it's part of Caleb's history
Having lived and studied a year in Germany, and generally being a moody boy, Liam captures much of the German (and Germanic, we Danes and the other Scandies have it as well) "geist". "WILKOMMEN IN DER DUNKELHEIT!" (Till Lindemann, 2009) "Das feuer liebt mich" (Till Lindemann 2005, paraphrasing a cautionary German children's tale from 1845 "Die gar traurige Geschichte mit dem Feuerzeug" - "The Very Sad Tale with the Matches": A girl plays with matches, accidentally ignites herself and burns to death)
Wowie I'll admit I'm new to the scene and only I recently got to the part where he briefly talks about his past with 2 other members. This was amazing to watch.
@@qrowacheron230 Liam mentioned it's an allegorical tale of how the Empire sacrifices it's citizens for the supposed betterment of the country. The one who lost his heart is supposed to be Caleb.
This is freaking awesome!!! OMG!! The quality of this animatic complements sooo well with the spectacular and spooky story of Liam. Thank you so much !! Hope u receive tons of love for this.
“Kinder” and “Kindle” are similar, representing how Trent had manipulated his students into murdering their parents, burning themselves up in the process.
What the heck i didnt even realize this was about the three kids that trent taught. It makes so much sense while watching this though. Damn i feel so much for caleb, he doesnt think he can love again....

Boy, Keyleth really let herself go
Sometimes you cant cope when you lose the one you love
HA
She spent the next 20 years after losing Vax just stress-eating every junk food you could possibly imagine
B R U H H
@@wolight stress eating children?
Just imagine him telling this story to Fjord and Jester's children, and one of them asking why Uncle Caleb is crying.
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO STAB ME LIKE THAT!
@@Jtheartnerd because she required your heart.
At the end I was half expecting the camera to pan over and just have the rest of the mighty nein frozen in the middle of dinner preparation (or something) staring in horror at him.
Caleb finishes, cut to a close up of a freckled faced boy with curls, stunned expression then:
BOY: (crying)M...M... Mommmaaaaaaa!
Veth: Luke, I warned ya about storytime with Uncle Caleb, didnt I?
Personally, I'm just imagining the rest of them huddled around a campfire.
And maybe with Yasha facing away and crying.
Sir, this is a Wendy's...
And then Beau stands up and says, "I'm Beau...I'm f*cking Beauregard Lionett here...I'm f*cking Beauregard..."
Ok but this is like a legit German fairytale like I could see this in a book of Grimm fairytales
Yeah, german fairytales can be realy fucked up and horrifying.
Take the Grimm version of Cinderella, the stepsisters cut off parts of their feet to try to make the slipper fit
@@samuelfeichtenbiner5020 And when this fails to trick the prince, their eyes are pecked out by birds as Cinderella leaves with him.

was Calebs story from the same book? I hated all the storys I heard from it
@@Karate3ule - it’s actually Caleb’s backstory, told in the form of a creepy German fairy tale. Note the burning house behind the third boy?
It was not the mother who cut off his thumbs, but the taylor. The mother just warned him about the taylor with his big sicours if he don't stop. - my Mama read those storys to me when I was little
I'm astonished at how amazing this, not only that amazing animation but how good liam is, I mean I felt like caleb was talking not liam at all
This made me realize that when he was speaking the Waldhexe's lines, I never even realized it was him. He just became the part! He's so good. :D
Well, his job IS literally to pretend to be other things with his voice.
The give away is that Caleb can't do accents
~~acting~~
I didnt even get the reference to the three students of Ikethon or whatever and Caleb himself until I saw this animatic.
Bro that hit me real hard thank you.
I didn't realized till the day after when someone told me and I just hit my head like wow its so clear once you see it. its an amazing story
I didn't realize it until I read this comment :-o
Omg yeah same!
Same!
When I saw it, the realisation hit me like a bus. The feels were all too real
Yall ever just make up a European fairytale as a metaphor for your characters backstory
No but I'm making it required for all my characters going forward.
I like how he counts in German and calls the kids "Kinder" German for children it such a nice little detail
Even the witch's name is proper, I think it means Swamp Witch in german.
The parents also call the children "liebling" which is German for darling
He also says grossmutter instead of grandmother
@@Coramelimane Wald Hexe is forest witch.
Swamp witch would be Sumpf Hexe
If you wanna know
Like every fourth word he says is in German, it’s not really a little detail
YOOO I didn't even get the connection to Caleb's backstory when I first heard this!!!
I was moved to tears when I heard the original story and realized who the three kinder were... Your visualizations have done so again, especially with the morphing visions of fire and the terrifying visages of who the three are now. Well done and bravo!

Next animation: valt-hexer: night club edition
"And now you have experienced... THE VORTEX."

Very good! I think I missed this one, so it will be fun to see how the rest of the crew mess the story up.
I'm convinced this story was just an allegory for brens life growing up under the tutelage of trent ikithon along with Astrid and Eodwulf
Liam confirmed it on twitter, actually. Eodwulf thinks not for himself, but for the empire. Astrid sees not Trent Ikithon's true nature. And Caleb believes that he is owed no love from anyone.

My favorite part is laughing with them when they watch the butcherings. :)
Yeah. Me too. I’ll watch the first maybe second retellings of the story then skip to the cast reacting and maybe speed that up if that’s a little boring.
I still love this so much. It's so deep and perfect. Real old school Grimm vibe but better imo.
Liam is a masterful story teller
And the kids just stood there and took it.

Caleb mentioned in his backstory that the three students were taught and trained by Trent in the forest. He said that he was a very ruthless man.
This has to be the most demented Grimm brother’s fairytale.
Liam is so brilliant in his story telling!! And this animatic has absolutely brilliant pacing and perspective
I only like this one story out of all of the casts, and I have listened to it so many times. This is incredible!
I enjoyed Jester's and Scanlan's as well.

Ooh, I got chills. That's some nice work.

This is freaking awesome!!! OMG!! The quality of this animatic complements sooo well with the spectacular and spooky story of Liam. Thank you so much !! Hope u receive tons of love for this.
Oh. My. God. Liams story is just so amazing and your animatic really did its jov well.
“Kinder” and “Kindle” are similar, representing how Trent had manipulated his students into murdering their parents, burning themselves up in the process.
This. Is. Absolutely amazing. Holy shit i got actual chills.
Well done this gave me goosebumps
Some seriously excellent work here KunKun! :D
Oh my heart-oh Caleb! I didn't put 2 and 2 together (fully) until I saw this! Oh Caleb you poor thing!!
oh wow, I never realized until I saw this today, this animatic is pure gold
I've watched this so many times I've lost count . . . So goooood *chef's kiss* . . .
So cool the grid peeking out of the animation under their feet occasionally. A subtle head nod to it being from a table top game.
Chris Frame And a great way to add camera movements within an animation!
This is fantastic. Loved the pan up from the Waldhexe to the blood & bones and then then castle/kingdom.
Daaaamn, that was amazing! Liams voice ofc, but your illustrations did it justice!
What the heck i didnt even realize this was about the three kids that trent taught. It makes so much sense while watching this though. Damn i feel so much for caleb, he doesnt think he can love again....
what a great voice actor that hes able to do caleb doing a monster
Good job!
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much. This telephone episode combined with this animation is perfectly fit.
Totally makes sense in this context.
