Do you remember Osysa's parting words in Episode 2? "...we must remain apart. It pains me, but yet it is for the greater good." She literally gave them the answer to the "riddle of the sphinx"! Only Scanlan picked up on it. Not well enough to confidently remember it, but hey, he got there.
The reason that Grog didn't get rid of Craven Edge right away is because in the campaign, Craven Edge is a Cursed Item. Once attuned to it, you are unable and unwilling to use other weapons and you are convinced that it is worth keeping around. Travis/Grog had some excellent roleplaying as the other members of the team wanted him to get rid of the thing, but the curse made him keep it. Good times.
yeah, travis and talkin' weapons is also some grade A shit!
The reason in the show is that he figures it's awesome, and it makes him more badass in combat. Dealing with the fact that it demands to be fed even when they're not in combat is a new problem that he's not sure how to deal with. But just throwing it away hasn't occurred to him, especially since that would leave him weaponless. Which is to say, he isn't necessarily being magically forced to keep it, he's just been convinced so far that he should keep it.
@@zippomage
I heard someone say that Grog finding Craven Edge was kinda like if Stanley Spudowski found the One Ring.
In the context of the show I like to think of it like Gollum. The joy it provides makes it hard to part with, even with the downsides.
Thanks for spoiling the show with details from the campaign 👍
@@jaimejames13 what spoilers? Every interaction with the blade, even from when Sylas had it, screamed EVIL MAGIC SWORD! Even Gilmore said it radiated dark magic. All I did was provide the mechanical background from D&D.
Fun fact... These cliffhanger endings every 3 episodes isn't intentional. One of executive producers (Travis AKA Grog) confirmed that it just happened to work out that way!
@@Thurrak episode 9 isn't toooo Bad
Ok Sam Reigel who voiced Scanlan did an amazing job singing that power ballad. But can we also give credit to Alanna Ubach who voiced Osysa who sang that lovely duet with him? And Peter Habib who composed the music.
I want to know what Alanna Ubach's reaction was. "Okay, you're playing this all-powerful sphynx who is going to test the characters by revealing their greatest fears to each of them, in order to determine whether they are heroic enough for the quest... oh, and also we're going to have you sing an 80's power ballad duet."
The song was actually very good.
How dare this show be better than it had any right to be lol
Damn Matt Mercer and the Critical Role cast! Stop making me feel my feelings!
I really like how they are going heavily into the Grog/Craven Edge story as an analogy of the nature of addiction, and how addiction progresses.
They represent a huge number of mental and social issues with their characters' struggles, even more so in campaign 2.
Fun fact: Scanlan’s Wisdom score is 7! No wonder everyone was flabbergasted by Kamaljiori saying he was the wisest sage he had ever known.
The fuck
a disco performance to distract the King, a heavy metal shred solo to lift the party, and a pop ballad to 1-v-1 a sphinx.
can't wait for the smoking-hot flute solo, and the ultimate counterspell.
As I sadly know some spoilers....Im pretty sure that counterspell moment is gonna have people crying.
In case you didn't figure it out, the "woman" is Anna Ripley, the one-handed woman that tortured Percy when she was younger and had run away from the group in S1E10. Here's what has been revealed in the show: In S2E2, Percy finds out from Victor, the black powder merchant that she had been in the shop also buying black powder. In S3E4, we see her heading to Westruun after spying on Vox Machina with a magical crystal ball. She then told Umbrasyl (the acid dragon) about Vox Machina's plans in S2E5. So, Umbrasyl is in Westruun with "The Herd" (people that look like Grog), Umbrasyl likely took Mythcarver back there, and one of the vestiges (the one that looked like the Infinity Gauntlet) is also there.
This last episode REALLY deviated from the original D&D game, so even those of us who watched it aren't sure what is going to happen next.
I loved stephs response
"But what if its nice whispers?
"Then why whisper it?"
Scanlan's song did not have to be that frkn good, I NEED A FULL SONG ASAP (Okay seeing them kill that dragon after what happened to the sphinx WILL BE SO SATISFYING) JUSTICE FOR KAM!
They could easily release a full version for radio play. This is up there with Beauty and the Beast or A Whole New World or any other Disney hit.
Random Fun fact: it was actually brought up in the Watch Party hosted by Critical Role, but this episode turned out to be the first time Keyleth dropped the F-bomb (in this adaptation, that is). Probably unintentional, but still a sign of how bolstered her confidence was after Pyrah. That, and her anger.
Also, this encounter with Kamaljiori was radically different from how it happened in the streamed campaign, as was his fate.
And what’s tragic about Scanlan’s moment of sincerity… is that the only one that saw it had died saving him from Umbrasyl.
Scanlan is (pun intended) the Unsung Hero.
It is an achievement that the show manages to make us tear up over a character that is a complete and utter stranger at the beginning of the episode, and even tries to defeat the protagonists within the same episode. I love that the show is still able to bring some new things to the table even for those of us fully familiar with the campaign. The way the sphinx was handled in this episode was very different than the campaign, and frankly the way they handle it here is an improvement.
I think your issue with a death/near death experience every three episodes are valid. I will say, when it was a full length campaign those moments were more spread out so it didn't feel like a gimmick. each instance of death/near death was earned and had weight. but i get how in this more condensed format it might feel like a gimmick.
The Sphinx calling Scanlan the wisest sage he's ever known is especially funny because in the DnD game, Scanlan had a Wisdom score of 6. For context, the highest score you can have without magical improvement is 20. 10 is average.
Scanlan used to do all sorts of ill advised things. It was only towards the end of the campaign that the other cast members realized how low his wisdom was
Sam: "Why did you think I got into so much dumb shit?"
Rest of the cast: "We just thought you were an asshole!"
cursed items in DnD tend to be very hard to toss away
Unless the Game Master says otherwise
Never had any, only holy ones. What do you mean specifically?
@@giuseppepiuma1965 nearly all of them state that you can´t take them of unless someone hits you with a "remove curse" spell. Also you are forced to prioritise their retrieval if lost in the fray. for example: your group is in danger and for some reason you dropped your cursed sword. the curse has you chase the Item instead of helping your party. Also your reactions are often a bit more extreme if someone wants to take the Item from you
What’s crazy is that all these near deaths and deaths actually played out organically on stream. It was pretty intense lol
I laughed so hard when Scanlan started singing, the 80's power ballad hit me like a truck lmao
Also is it just me that thinks Grog could have 1v1ed that dragon? Maybe he'd drop dead at the end, but it looked like he could have done it (and he looked badass af doing it)
Yeah i think for sure the vibe was if he kept going he'd probably become strong enough to win but at what cost? Sword wasn't exactly a fun wingman.
@@Musabre he wasn't doing enough damage to even make Umbrasyl use his breath. Sadly, the dragon was just playing with his food.
@@neintales1224 yeah, but it is important to note that Grog DID deal damage after getting the first taste of dragon blood. I don't think anyone else on the team was able to draw blood.
@@neintales1224 idk man, I kinda liked his chances. The theory behind the sword's power is that it gives Grog strength whenever it draws blood, right? I mean yeah, realistically the dragon woulda ate him eventually, but I don't think the dragon was going easy on him either
The only way Grog beats Umbrasyl (and still only maybe) is if Pike gave up on trying to get him in on the planar travel spell and backed him up in the fight. We already know that she can continually heal him from acid damage as he takes it (from S01E10). And he was starting to deal some hurt, more so as Craven Edge fed him dragon blood. But even with a healer backpack, I'd give him a 50/50 chance at best.
Sam Riegel said that the person who storyboarded Kamaljiori vs Umbrasyl had never before done a 3rd act scene, but designed all of it with one goal in mind, that everyone who saw it would be clenching their butts all the way through.
Mission accomplished, I'd say
Cursed weapons aren't that easy to get rid of. As we saw with Percy, he still felt compelled to keep the gun, even though he was aware of the demon who corrupted him.
Most Cursed weapons in D&D have this feature: You are compelled to use this blade. When you use a weapon that is not this one, you have disadvantage on attacks. When you attempt remove or destroy this weapon, make a Wisdom roll. If you fail, you keep the weapon.
As Mr. Weasley said, "Don't trust something if you can't see where it keeps its brain."
Thought that was Mrs. Weasley
I think a good comparison to explain why Grog doesn’t get rid of the sword would be asking why Gollum doesn’t get rid of the ring.
I think it is important to remember that this story was played live. They are adapting it really well. The failures, like deaths and injuries, as well as their success' were all decided by the dice. They've packaged it nicely but this story played out in the literal hands of fate. A single unlucky role could doom anyone at any time.
Yes Steph. No truer words have been spoken. “Heart break. That shot will hurt a rock”
Mercer is notorious for ending shows on giant cliff-hangers. I love and hate him for this. Especially, when they take 2 week long breaks right before a huge battle is about to begin. Love/hate how they're continuing this in the animated series.
The "oh no, they're dead" thing happens a lot because they're in really dangerous situations a lot. I will point out that if it was really important and something you should really worry about, fear not, the show will milk it for all it's worth with the soundtrack and spending extra time listening to a voice actor sobbing. We've learned that much by now.
But (for example) when Keyleth closed the fire portal from the wrong side, they gave it only a few seconds of Vax being concerned, and then brought her right back before we had to become concerned.
And since they didn't spend any time trying to make us worry about Pike, I'm sure she'll be fine. Because if she wasn't then the show would have milked that for viewer tears, with a long drawn out sequence of Grog crying over Pike set to sad music. We didn't get that. So yeah, Pike will almost certainly heal herself. The real issue is going to be how much guilt Grog feels over stabbing her in the first place, and how he handles that.
I'm thinking Prime Video must have told them up front that they were going to drop 3 at a time, so they definitely wrote their big cliffhangers in to match. But if you look back at season 1, there were just as many cliffhanger endings, if not more.
Notice that both times that Scanlan had a big save-the-day moment, the rest of the party wasn't there to see it. As far as they know, he's just... "Scanlan." They've never seen him at his best.
For the record, since it does feel like parts of Season 1 have escaped your minds, it should be noted that both Keyleth (a Druid) and Scanlan (a Bard) both have healing abilities (they just aren't expected to do so the way the group has expected Pike to). After all, Keyleth's magic was able bring Cassandra de Rolo back to life after the evil professor cut her throat and Scanlan was able to heal Keyleth in the final episode after the anti-magic field in the zippertwat severed Pike's connection from the Everlight's Temple.
So, at the very least, each group that has been split has at least one available healer heading into the next episode.
When it comes to reactors of this show you guys are at or near the top of my list. Fantastic.
It was too funny to see you commenting "don`t read anything out loud" - and then immediate cut to Percy reading it :DDD
I`m absolutely in love with a small "rrrrrr" that Kamaljiori does when he sees the image of Osysa :3 Yes me crying over the song again.
And the ending?? Broke my heart. We lost our dear Kam, Scanlan lost his friend and Osysa lost her love (would anybody tell her? it would be so painful and terrible). Half of the team lost the other half. And we of course lost a sword. Nice.
I genuinely tear up with Scanlans song💙💙
I get your point about the impact of deaths getting lessened if they keep doing these "fakeout" moments where someone nearly dies and then they get saved. The thing is though is that all of these moments did happen in the campaign (and more that they've omitted) and were important dramatic moments of the DND game that this show is based upon. And in DND, death is somewhat less impactful because there are ways to bring people back from the dead.
It strikes a hard balance between being faithful to the source material while also maintaining dramatic tension and not doing pointless deaths and near deaths just for a shocking moment. All of the ones that they've kept so far (Cassanda and Keyleth in S1, Vex and Pike in S2) were impactful moments that spurred on important character moments which needed to be included to preserve the future story arcs.
But just to give you an idea... In the campaign that this show is based upon, by this point in the plot, Vox Machina have had 28 instances where a person became knocked out and on death's door, and four full-on deaths that required resurrection. They've cut that down to maybe a handful of KOs and one death (not counting Pike, we'll see what happens there, not sure if she's dead or wounded just yet).
Yeah, them keeping the fake out deaths are true to the campaign but also due to the show being so short they happened very quickly in succession, unfortunately. In the campaign they were much more spaced out.
To be fair they had Keyleth take that finger of death instead of Vex in season one because Vex would have her more impactful brush with death in season 2 and they wanted it to be even more hard hitting.
Can't wait for you to see the rest of this arc.
The "Girl" is Ripley from season 1 who Percy let escape
"Let love find you" with a stabbing
3:29 flashes to the evil dead reaction she just had.
For the record even critters who watched the Livestream don't know where grog and the little bits went.
This sphinx was really cool and I like that only Scanlan's music could wounded him :)
"What if is a nice whisper?" Someone haven't read Brandon Sanderson lmao
Just binge watched every episode in 2 days. The show is amazing I'm hooked and can't wait till tomorrow for episodes 7-9. Story is top notch never got attached to characters so quickly before.
Dang you cut the "Mythcarver, show me something gooooooOOOOOD!"
05:29 Ah! You know Grog well!
Just as an FYI, Amazon releases the episodes when the international date line reaches Friday. So, if you're on the west coast of the US like me, it's available at 4pm. 🙂 I will begin to watch 7-9 in 15 minutes.
1:38 Matt Mercer getting called out! ;)
Matt took of the training wheels after the destruction of Eman. they were knocked unconscious and even dying quite a lot.
I think about every 2-3 episode someone will nearly die and of course we will get the cliffhanger ending until the next one, but I honestly think someone WILL truly die and not comeback at the end of the season (S2E12).
Man, I love Scanlan
Resurrections happen in DnD but at most tables they aren't an infinite Reset button. Consequences.
I wasn't expecting the dragon to come back this episode, and I saw their game live. This episode had almost nothing in common with the way it went in game. There was no dragon, and the challenge was completely different. Pike doesn't get wounded because of Grog's bloodlust, it was a complete accident (he was throwing the sword and missed his target). And she basically shrugged it off.
And I absolutely love that! I really like that they're able to keep things fresh and different for people who know the campaign, without completely changing the major story beats. This is absolutely how you do an adaptation.
Man, I love that song, I hope Sam will release a full version...
We need a full version. A mighty need.
@@jordanpeterson5140 Heh, nice one.
next batch of eps drops in a few hours
With Grog's upcoming fight the every three episodes might happen.
In game mechanics, Grog is reaaaaaaalllllly dumb.... I love him, don't blame him... the sword (Craven Edge) is evil, it's like givin heroin to a kid... he's addicted...
The fact that you can't tell that the sword is influencing Grog's mind shows that you need to pay closer attention. "Why doesnt he just throw it away." He literally can't. Like all the evidence is right there, I really don't know how you aren't making that connection.
It was a good song.
Still sad because the Sphinx died 🥺
Need y’all to react to DD S3 and Punisher soon hopefully
I think the whole thing is on youtube, why do they keep skipping over the song here? That's why I'm searching for these videos currently.
Ripley never approached the dragons, the challenge was completely different, Umbrasyl never attacked or took the vestige, the sphynx never died, the party was never split... but it's all a helluva lot more dramatic than the stream. There was a point when Umbrasyl was wounded badly enough to retreat to his lair, perhaps this is it? Grog did skewer Pike at some point, but I forget when; and I guess they split the party to get two vestiges at once, to save time. The dead sphynx is the only *real* change...
Skewering of Pike did happen during the male Sphinxs' challenge. So it did happen at this point in the campaign.
@@AnxietyRat I sit corrected.
I Wish Will Make Another One The Legend Of Vox Machina 2 The Movie In Live Action
How's this? th-cam.com/video/mHfXAXM4O3E/w-d-xo.html
The death comments are already something I'm feeling. As a campaign watcher you dont notice because its 30 episodes between some of these deaths or near deaths. Meanwhile here its 2-3 episodes which is what an hour-ish. It cheapens most of the down moments.
When's the next episode dropping
They come out on friday
pike ain't dead grog on the other hand....
Honestly I don’t know why they didn’t let Grog try and kill the dragon. He was actually holding his own. If anything I would’ve told the group to help Grog to drain more blood and get him strong enough to kill it. It’s how they killed the Blue Dragon in first place!
At the cast watchalong party on Tuesday, Travis said that maybe they could have taken the dragon, but Grog would probably be a dead body being piloted by the sword at that point, and nobody wants that.
Grog would’ve been slaughtered had he kept trying to fight Umbrasyl, pushed far beyond his limits. Pike would’ve been devastated to lose someone who’s been like a brother to her.
And no one in the group was aware that the sword was bad news. Because Grog wouldn’t talk about it.
That, and I think that when he went into that red-eyed rage, it wasn’t Grog fighting. _It was Craven Edge using Grog to do so._ And he only snapped out of it when Pike got stabbed.
It’s also cursed.
@@AdamEspersona Yeah, u dont just throw away cursed items.
@@miafiolekova5817 And to think… we’re gonna end up seeing what became of Grog and Craven Edge this week.
@@djcowell91 Like a zealot barbarian’s rage beyond death… only it’s not you in control, it’s an evil sword. OOF.
I really love, love, love your guys reactions to this. It's very authentic. 🫶
