Percy is so slick, and I didn't even really notice until this episode "You look too happy to come from money" is the best compliment he could have given!
I love Marisha's facial expressions all the way through that conversation. It's like 'Damn, if you don't want him can I have him?'
"We're gonna put some braille on your gun." - Grog
Favorite quote from him in the series so far.
shoot, didn't notice that.
I died 😂 (timestamp: 45:25 or something)
I lost it! Clearly one of the best comments of the episode! 🤣😂
And the worst part is that the others didnt even notice this gem xD
Mine is "a wet willy is not a RANGED ATTACK"
Other DMs: "you get wet-willied"
Matt Mercer: "you feel the slimy insertion of a single half-elven digit into your ear canal"
thank you so much for writing this down!!!! xD
Hahahahaha
*hub drum beat*
Kinda wanted to gag at that description. 😆
Master storyteller
1. Outside the Feywild: _"Don't trust anyone." "Don't trust anyone." "Not all is what it seems"_
2. Inside: _[party trusts, politely interacts with, and makes deals with everyone they find.]_
Maj Magister YES!! IT IS SO STUPID!!! Like holy shit don’t be so CRINGE/DUMB
This is the same party that trusted a mind flayer while distrusting the paladin they were sent to rescue. They have interesting tastes in allies.
To be fair, it makes for very good entertainment.
To be further fairer, with the Nymph, the Satyr, they started things off as the non-trustworthy ones.
LOL. Sometime ya gotta find a path.
I love that Scanlan's hatred of Trinket is one of his most consistent character beats.
SonicRulez94 His hate is valid.
Trinket should be left behind half the time.
Trinket should have a shit ton more HP, given his animal size and potential strength because of that size. Scanlan, a Gnome, has twice as much HP and is 1/6 Trinkets size/potential strength.
I don't care how strong you are.....if a full grown grizzly bear attacks you, you're fucking done. Straight up D.O.N.E.
Trinket, on the other hand, gets balled up all the time by creatures Scanlan can kill with melee in 2-3 turns. Trinket should be another meat shield like Grog. Instead, Trinket has the stats of a throw away NPC.
Soldier4USA2005 In real life, maybe. This is D&D, and these characters, Scanlan included, are high-level characters. They're well on their way into becoming walking demigods. Trinket is a vanilla, real-world bear. If you sic him on a regular villager NPC (lvl 0, 3hp), which is what a normal real-life human would compare to, he'd maul the guy to death.
@Nak Tan ... "In real life, maybe. This is D&D,"
---You can't say that, then say Trinket is a real bear. That means reality is expected in D&D. You can't have it both ways.
tl;dr Of course trinket is weaker than the party members. He's just a bear.
That being said,
A regular brown bear has an AC of 11 and 34 hit points
Trinket has armor with an AC of 20, resistance to bludgeoning, and something like 56 hit points. He's also been trained to become a literal wrecking ball. Matt Mercer has been pretty generous in buffing up trinket.
The way they calculate his hit points is described under the Beast Master Ranger archetype given in the PHB -"Its hit point maximum equals its normal maximum or four times your ranger level, whichever is higher."
So the reality is, the animal companions in the game are weak regardless and they would have to homebrew in order to change it. To be fair, all the animal companions listed in the PHB start with
I love how they asked Nala for advice on what to avoid and she said to not trust anything, especially to guide them, in the Feywild. And the first thing they do is trust someone from the Feywild to guide them. 😂
😂😮
I really enjoyed that Liam looked in the direction of Laura when Vax and Vex were talking. It took me a while to realize why that was probably very weird for him to do in real life (looking to the right in an empty room wherever he was). It was a great little touch that made it seem like he was really there. Such dedication. :)
I was thinking about the same thing. I imagine he might have had a printout of her face there that they set up before they started streaming
@@KevinWeberYo That's a bit odd, though lol
@@OSDisco Nerds go hard for our craft.
the first time he does it he looks the wrong way though which was adorable
Liam is honestly an underappreciated member of the cast I feel.
"Pike get rid of this blind spot so we can all be together again." Lol best line in the episode
can you explain it please? is it just a bald spot joke or am I missing something?
"Blind Spot" is the name of the TV programme that Ashley keeps having to leave L.A (and thus Critical Role) to shoot.
That's beautiful XD
My favorite was:
Scanlan: "I dont want to be haunted, thats for you and vax"
Percy: "you would look lovely in eyeliner"
Literally read that as he said it on my second time through hahaha
I hate that no one seemed to hear Grog saying they would put braille on Percy's gun after Nala said she couldn't cure his blindness 😂😂😂
It's because he forgot that they'd need to put braille on the targets too.

agreed
And I'll happily spend 200 more!
you got me beat. Ive only re-watched till after slayers take.
This made me curious, so I checked and up to this episodes it's roughly 232 and a half hours. That's... probably more time than I've spent with some of my friends.

One of the few times she actually knew the rules.
@@DraconisMarchVII shame she cant be half as attentive with her own spells and abilities
@@MurTag93 it's painful to hear her sometimes.
So very very annoying. I wouldn't miss Marisha one bit. She can't role play this character. At least people say 2 is better for her...that being said, I just love the show.
I'm just happy to watch
@@drivebye2709 Sometimes the problem isn't that she can't roleplay her character. Sometimes the problem is that she is trying to roleplay every single minute of the episode and she is doing it so intensely because she wants other people to see that she can roleplay which makes her annoying and melodramatic most of the time.

Thanks :)
Oghma's blessings, Friend.
I love how Taliesin rolled, completely unbidden, for Percy to have a panic attack :)
When was that?
Well they play out their characters. They get blinded they don't go "well I am blinded okay what spells do we have to cure blindness?" and just treat it like a stat in a video game and nothing more. He gets blinded and he plays it in character, they all have fun with it, they roll with the new development as a story element instead of nothing more than a status affliction.
@@andywoods941 Shortly after he got blinded by the nympth.
My D&D group volinteers to make perception checks to make shure they notice the doors they go through and don't hit their heads or trip over the threshold.
I would
Aw man, Vex was breaking my heart this episode. I love the fact that we got to see some character development behind where her supposed "greed" was coming from. It all makes sense now. As someone who grew up with little money myself, I totally get feel you Vex. Laura really is such a great actress.
Also, yet again another great Percy line "I've known plenty of people with money, and they are definitely not worth you."
Such an amazing moment, probably one of my favourite for both Vex and Percy.
This episode just makes me ship Vex and Percy.
same
Been shipping them a while and they finally got a moment together. It did not disappoint. Hoping for more of this in the future.
"and keep the hat..." perfect
'I don't want to be haunted, thats for you and Vax.'
Words can not express how much I love Scanlan.
Kudos to Talesin for opting to keep his eyes closed while playing the blinded Percy. Creative and subtle gesture.
ChaosWolf1982 He's probably the best role player at the table. I don't always like Percy, but damned if he isn't a well played chsracter.r
ChaosWolf1982 except for most of the time when he didn't?
Even when his eyes were open he was playing blind woth the unseeing stare in general directions
@@Haunted_Gallows I don't know... he's definitely clever but Laura is amazing and Liam is as well. Liam is most consistently in character, Laura is the most impactful, Tal and Travis bring unique style from their characters. Liam gets a better chance to show his RP with Caleb in C2 as Vax was a loner and troubled so just came off as temperamental and a bit annoying at times.
@@alexgulino335 So is Caleb.

Satyr: exists

Bby boi has had enough people in his head for 3 lifetimes okay 😂
So much clicked with Vex for me when she asked Percy if she looked well off enough to belong with the Elves. All of her money grubbing and bartering is not because she just wants to buy more stuff or be rich for the sake of it. She was always shunned by her society, including her father for being different. Unlike Vax who could care less what his father thinks. Vex deeply cares. She wants to be more wealthy so she can blend in. She wants so desperately to be accepted. Up until now I thought she was kinda one note as a character but jesus christ am I so happy to have that perception shattered with Laura's incredible acting
Not to mention being heroes is expensive... if you want to save the world you need them funds.
She tries to pay as little as possible to ripoff merchants, and get money when ever she can, so she can afford handing out money to those in need.
Yea i thought it was laura just being a loot goblin but this makes total sense
#Enlightened
all well and good but when you dont learn anything from almost dying from your greed thats just shitty character development
@@_Ekam2 Not really. Daddy issues don't just fix themselves because you almost died. For many people it takes many mistakes to finally get over a coping mechanism from childhood trauma. Many people need therapists for years. If anything she will just be more careful in her greed, just like how many drug dealers who get out of jail dont stop selling drugs, they just sell them better not to be caught.
1:16:10 The face of a man who realises that his wifes imaginary bear will always have a huge impact on his life
Considering the fact that in a Q&A, Laura made Travis sleep on the couch for slapping Trinket on the behind and making him run into danger, I think poor Travis already knows.
While putting something that your SO treasures at risk is never a smart thing, it was Grog, and he does have a low intelligence.... Travis was obviously ACTING... and doing a fine job...
I can't wait for something extremely powerful they fight to eventually one shot Trinket. I just want to see the reactions that will bring. Sorry, Team Trinket
That's just being a Richard...
inb4 Trinket comes out against Thordak, and he just explodes right there.
That time Scanlan casts Suggestion on an Arch Fey and the Arch Fey just plays it off like it worked
"I hope one day you can know just how awful I can be."
*rests chin on his woven fingers like the absolute cutest little cherub*
I love Taliesin
I love the way Laura's smile takes up about 50% of her face when she fully deploys it.
She's beautiful
DEPLOY THE SMILE!
**tiny figures start scrambling around inside her brain as WW2 sirens begin to sound**
AWOOOGA! PREPARE TO DEPLOY SMILE! ALL HANDS ON DECK!
No, every single figure falls unconscious except for one, which remains standing, smiling, chanting "I AM PURE!" without actually speaking.
"I wish that Nala had cast Blindness on ME."
Good grief, Sam is the freaking best.
When Percy passed Vex the paper all I could think was "Do you like me? Yes or no?"
Yes__
Definitely__
Absolutely__
@@tunafour-shoes4618 Percy: I rigged it 😂
A little but time stamp please?
He actually asked her what her last name was. She answered that she didn't know, but even if she did, she would never use it. That was the moment he decided to give her…
I'm not going to spoil the next episode, but if you've watched it, you know what I'm talking about
I love how Liam knows where on the table they placed the laptop... by looking right while talking to Vex, and left talking to pike, or Grog.
Vex/Percy is happening so slowly and subtly and I love them. A lot.
This is the best slow burn I’ve ever been subjected to I’m IN LOVE with both of them
I watched the campaign live and I didn’t catch it back then so the confession came as a surprise, looking back at it….it was very well setup.
I wish I hadn’t known about them before I started (I watched TLOVM first). I would’ve loved to see all the subtle hints about it. The way Percy shows Vex how much he adores her by giving her shiny things and weapons that he’s made her. Always making sure she’s safe (especially after the Sunken Tomb fiasco) and the way Vex will run to Percy’s side almost as fast as she does Vax’s 😭❤️
Keyleth: "Do you shed?"
*In the theme of Mean Girls*
"Keyleth, you can't just ask Satyrs if they shed"
I thought of this instantly, and was ashamed 😓😂😂
"Draw us as ridiculous as you can."
The fandom: Challenge accepted.
The fandom went a different direction in regards to the size of...ehem...the characters.
Matt at 1:16:00 like "It's hard to gauge since there's no sun and you don't have a central timepiece"
The very moment Liam decided his next character would take Keen Mind. 😂

Since we are referring to Percy one-liners, here we go. In fact we will be keeping your weapons your armor and I believe your pride.
2:44:36 "...I am possibly the worst person you've ever met."
Either the music has an eerily good sense of timing, or someone was waiting with their finger on the button for Percy to go full creepy.
*hmmmmmm*
Indeed. And here, take your hundredth like, friend.
Finally percy says something that was actually correct...
"And besides: if they have something nice that makes you feel inferior, we can just take it. ... And then they're just shit without anything and you're you with their stuff."
Taliesin is so clever.
“Every time ive seen anything attractive and naked today, its gone poorly”

Mood.
Relatable.
Wise words
I love how Talison just induced his own panic attack for Percy. Good RP.
This episode, Fearne took root in Ashleys mind. The fey wild whimsical feel, the attitude toward ownership of nice objects, Ashley gets a nat 20 to steal something. Yup, this was it
It clicked for me when Matt said: I don't steal. I borrow indefinitely." Reminded me so much of Fearne. I think she actually said that at one point
THIS! This comment here is gold :)
exactly what I thought. She even sounded a bit like Fearne, wenn she talked about stelaing the ocarina.^^
@@skadiaswynn9919of time?
Jesus Laura is good. First talking to Trinket. Then, with Percy. Glad to see her spotlighted for a bit because she definitely rose to the occasion.
Erd Tird Mans it's crazy the emotion they bring to a d&d game
Oh my dude you have no idea
100% agreed. I love all of their rolepays, but while Scanlan's or Grog's for instance are very over the top and comical and whatnot, Laura is to me the one who makes her character's emotions transpire in the most subtle, realistic and impactful way. Her acting and portrayal of Vex'ahlia is phenomenal. That scene with Percy blew me away. What she conveys in her look, her voice, her mimics... just wow.
2:29:58 for those interested in rewatching that beautiful scene :) Honestly, this has become one of my favourite Critical Role scenes so far, just for Laura's outstanding performance.
@@rickrack4325 While I agree Laura is great here, I feel like you're selling Sam a bit 'short' there. Scanlan is one of the most multi-layed characters in the group. He may act silly and over the top more than anyone else, but he's the also most mature, considerate and thoughtful member of the group when he needs to be. He knows when its time for fun and he knows when its time to listen and be there for his family. His serious moments are extremely realistic and relatable. Grog... Well he's just Grog, but his child like innocence combined with blood thirst is pretty interesting to see.
She didnt even moneygrub or steal anything this time (first time in months)
They literally did everything on the "absolutely don't do these things in the Feywild" list. :P
They're Vox Machina. Scanlan took on an entire houseful of guards on his own and set fire to said house. Vax and Scanlan forced themselves inside a Dragon, and then they killed it. I'm realizing that a lot of the crazy stuff happened because/with help from Scanlan, but it still generally included Vox Machina.
I personally expected to add a few more items to the list
It's about how creative they can be as a group to overcome any obstacle... except doors.
"Dont make deals with anything or anyone"
Percy: "its time to deal..."
Does percy have some type of ocd where he has to agree to every dubious deal he can find?
Smoke demons, Criminal syndicat, strange beings from the feywild... and oh boy, just watch him in the 9 hells...
He is the smart one right??
@@Darksnakemrniceguy He was charmed btw
when Percy asked "who's there?" While talking to Vex, it sounded very much like "who am I going to threaten tomorrow?"
Also, I thought it was so clever of Percy to ask if Garmili had self portraits. Sneaky man asking sneaky questions.
I love Percy's observation of Vex, "I've known a lot of people with money and they're not worth you!" Beautifully said.
uhm.. can we talk about the cuteness of the nymph/grog lovey-doveyness? because I ship it.
He was trying to be charming and failed spectacularly, and she found it endearing! If that's not MTB, I don't know what is!😍😍
Me tooooo! I wanted him to stay with her for a little while, seemed like it would make both of them happy. (You know, if she was being truthful at all, which who knows.)

Mad respect to Matt for playing the most lovable bear ever
I love how during the conversation between Percy and Vex, Travis is just all eyes on his wife. Completely enraptured by her and her talented acting.
I’ve been watching his expression during the exchange and it looks like he’s checking to make sure she isn’t truly crying and then realizes that oh no she’s just that good of an actress! 😂
I wish they'd stop all this side quest "vestiges and dragon" stuff, and stick to the main Trinket story line.

2:31:17 A sweet moment between Percy and Vex'ahlia. Laura is so deep inside her character, she is really fighting tears in this scene. She is so vulnerable, it is a powerful scene.
Great Voice Actress

Yes! Percy's self-imposed save to have a panic attack is the sign of a great roleplayer!
See also his drowning scene in the Raven Queen's temple. As he goes to swim up and NOT find the surface he says "I do NOT do well with this" before Mercer can act it out. That whole sequence really..."was I broken or did it make me broken?" "Im good at fixing thing" Oh gods, my heart was breaking for Percy.

Coincidentally, Australians love messing with travellers by telling them outrageous lies about the local fauna and customs, so this tracks.
We all know the Percy/Vex conversation is adorable, but can we appreciate how much character work went into it? Like, Laura put so much work into Vex being ‘greedy’ to pay off here. And Taleisin is always so careful with the wording, he says something along the lines of “rich people don’t deserve you” which is both sweet and self-deprecating, showing Percy really doesn’t think that he deserves Vex.
This. Exactly this. Perfectly summarized. The characters are amazing

49:52 I know everyone credits Matt for his ability to do so many voices, but good lord, this is on another level entirely.
It's unreal how he can change his vernacular and way with words, all seemingly off the cuff and making it all up on the spot. He's not just doing a voice, he's doing a voice AND speaking in flowing old time fey-like rhymes and whimsy. And he's not reading off a script, he's coming up with it on the spot in response to questions the players ask.
You could find a thousand other DMs, and while a handful of them can do convincing voices, I doubt any of them could come up convincing Shakespearean-like fey dialog on the fly.
Whatever dimention of eldrich horror Liam got sucked into, at least he can Skype from there.

The scene between Percy and Vex is beautiful. I really felt for her and Percy was so lovely about it.
This is why Vex is so greedy all the time! Its a character flaw born from her struggles in Singorn. That's pretty cool actually. I like it. Well done Laura.
It's not a flaw.
Danan it got her killed. We can safely call that a flaw.
Flaws are fine, especially fatal flaws for a character. Vex’s greed being borne from her upbringing was a cool explanation.
@@awkwardukulele6077 Percy's recklessness got her killed. Her greed saved them all loads of times.
Awkward Ukulele everyone seems to forget that 2 seconds before Percy said he was touching the armour Vex said I am checking for traps. Her brother was safe and climbing up out of the pit and she went to go see the crypt and see what was in it.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how Liam does his best to look at every character when speaking to them, despite not being there physically? 1:59:00 is impressive.
I missed that, and you are right, it is amazing and very thoughtful of him.
and in C2 he does the opposite
2:27:34 I don't remember Percy and Scanlan having a one on one conversation before but this was such a damn smooth dialogue between the wittiest members of the group. This is the best duo.
Percy is my favorite Critical Role character ever, but I personally believe he doesn't like Scanlan because he's the only one who can be wittier than he is, hence their lack of conversations.
This conversation is outstanding though, Liam comparing it to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern was very on point lol
I love the joy on Matt's face when pike got the nat 20. He just loves seeing his players succeed.
He really has such joy in his eyes when his players succeed (and especially when the odds aren't in their favor).

Man, Percy and Scanlan don't interact enough. Every time they have a 1 on 1 interaction it's gold.
"Don't touch anything"
"Ok"
Almost immediately picks up a flower and bad shit happens
I love Keyleth, but sometimes... she doesn't use that beautiful 22 Wisdom.
Watching real actors play D&D truly is an enchanting, emotional experience. Never stop Critical Role.
Can I just say how freaking good Matt Mercer is at instantly conceiving scenes and developing characters?!
He is very good. Only that he is so good cuz he does have thousands of it prepared beforehand. Every artist gets references and previously spend a good amount of imagination in their pieces. Matt's inside is full of colors and stories and details, and then he presents to us.
45:25 "its totally fine were gunna put braille on your gun" 😂 I cant, Grog is too good for us.
Kinda disappointed non of them caught onto the fact that the deal wasnt made in the feywild it was made in the demiplane of scanlans making.
Pressthebigredbutton oh that’s so true
Yeah, this is the comment I was looking for. Great observation, true believer.
MMM isn't a demiplane tho, that's the spell Demiplane.
@@vanguardbreaker8826 it is a demiplane just a non permanent one.
sadly doesn't matter. fey are like infernals. the warning isn't "beware of devils bargains while in hell", its beware of devils bargains.
Terrible thought: What if Vox Machina were TPK'ed sometime in the future and Trinket was left in the necklace for several millenia, after having to watch all his friends fall in battle:(
TheDestrab YOU SHUT UR GODDAM MOUTH 😭😭
Critical role season 3 the 3rd age... A ranger stumbles across an amulet of the raven queen in a tomb with a beautiful bow...
@@Sorestlor that's both beautiful and so sad
Well considering what happened to the Pervon... Yeah
TheDestrab omg... no
It's ironic hearing Matt explain how animal speech works and interpreting it through Keyliths character, who, whoever she has spoken to an animal in-game, always talks to them like they are educated nobility.
Technically the deal was made in Mordenkainen’s Magnificent Mansion dimension and not in the Feywild, so maybe the deal is breakable?!?
João Sousa Well, it all has to do with the DMs discretion. You could also say that a MMM made in the material plane isn’t supposed to have gravity since not all realms have gravity. I think it’s understandable to say that some of the properties of the realm they summon the MMM in to carry over into it
It kinda depends on how you determine the spell works. If it's sort of a spacial bubble, then it's effectively considered part of the plane it was summoned in, whereas if you consider it to be more of a demiplane then it might not be
The dawning light of inspiration in Percy's eyes goes completely unnoticed during the scene of pike being sketched.
From the second his and Vex's talk ended Percy never left while Laura surfaced to listen to the show, laughing all the way.
You can honestly see the moment the lightbulb turns on in his head, he even moves his hand as if double checking.
Not to mention he confirmed in a talks machina that the note he handed her was to ask for Vex's full name. He had the plan, all he had to do was finesse it while everyone was busy.

Taliesin rping Percy's panic attack hit too hard for me for some reason and I just wanted to hug him 😭😭
Splendid acting, Tal 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Edit:
Also 26:20 - 26:53, frickin awesome 😂😂😂😂👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
The whole conversation between Percy and Vex gets me everytime. 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
"Then they're just shit without anything and you're you with their stuff." One of my new favourite lines.
*SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* I think it's so neat that Laura's character was the first to spot the "satyr" in the grass, and that she spotted him making crude drawings... Happy little accidental poetry, there.

2:31:23 the moment Percival had an epiphany about his feelings about Vex'ahlia.
He had that for a while
Damn Vex! I cried once during the live show and once again now! What an amazing performance by Laura!
I agree this is why Vex is my favorite character. Also that scene between her and Trinkett was touching.
+Barry Allan true! I am so excited for a Vex arc :)
It took me until tonight, my 2nd marathon of this campaign and MONTHS after Matt's BTS interview to realize that Garmili is him in elementary/middle school.😂
This layout really squeezes poor Matt Mercer, which is especially odd since he's the most animated and the most pivotal. Give the man more space.
1:59:15 Liam always doing the little things, like looking up and to the side when talking to Vex, so it presents correctly to the camera.
You're tearing us apart Percy!
I did not snare her.
Oh hi Vax, how's your sex life?
Nice 'The Room' references there, buddy.
I did naauuugghhhhtttt!!!!!
Oh hi Vax.
(While writing this comment I saw someone beat me to it! :( I still wanted to comment anyways 😊)
Oh Vax, you looking rather... Distant.
"and i walk away..."
Rolls an arcana check to see if Gilmore is actually the rakshasa again.
I actually rolled a d20, got a 14 so does that means he might be Gilmore but not really sure.
*rolls another d20*
............3! Yep its Gilmore
Who else would have a face as handsome as this?
Shaun Gilmore Well i'm sorry to doubt you gilmore.
The funniest thing is when Scanlan was unchanged in the portrait
Matt's voice acting of a person just learning an instrument is incredible
