I know he wasn't supposed to stick around for the entire campaign, but I was REALLY starting to like him being a part of the crew. Travis' playing of him that last episode was fantastically done.
@@user-mu8ok5xf8d funnily enough, he probs his dead forever, if he did spend his time and eventually formed a romantic relationship with her, she is a high level cleric who vox machina would probs contact when his body arrives to them, meaning she would easily be able to res him, so I hope hes not dead and they meet with him later, with him finally retiring and passing on the adventuring to them
Wait, if that's correct, it lends a hand to the theory that Bertrand was the man who drew a card from Grog's Deck of Many Things. He wished to be a lord of the crossroads, presumably wish to be younger or slow his aging, and still have one wish left before he died.... Wonder what his dying breathe was....?
Bertrand Bell You know what would be cool… if eventually when they animate this stuff. Have him act like this so the audience feel like he was dishonest, and then for C3 when he’s returned and people are surprised by his appearance and after they’ve grow to love him. Show how Bells Hells and others treat him like the blabbering old man who’s always telling stories. Develop his relationship with Dorian. Have Bertrand support Dorian with his performance anxiety. Now you pull the trigger, he’s laying on the ground bleeding out in the alley and have a flash back of younger days. As a child and how he’s always had this thing inside pushing him to go out into the world to adventure and help. Training and meeting people. First adventure the party is dungeon crawling and when they stop to rest after exhausting themselves they get ambushed and are decimated by a pack of wolves. Bertrand is the only one who survives and either because he wanted to suicide or revenge he tracks the pack down. He somehow manages the slaying of the whispering wolf and it’s pack. After that he goes on solo adventures because he’s depressed but somehow he’s always getting lucky. The griffon of the west, and other monsters. Show things go well for a bit but eventually the he can’t ignore that unfulfilled feeling. He’s been doing things alone for so long that he’s developed all kinds of things. A once confident man now he’s sort of awkward and seems untrustworthy. He tells anyone who will listen stories of his exploits because he’s had no one to reminisce with because he’s been doing things alone for so long. Finally he volunteers for the mission to rescue Grog because he thinks why not? Maybe this is how he and his party could’ve been had things gone better. His life after and how he was content but his adventurous spirit kept pushing him. One more to adventure and help. He meets Esteros and then Bell’s Hells. Have the flashback end. Cut to black. Imogen’s dream. Cut back to Bertrand smiling. And end of episode 9.
I love the difference between Travis's old man characters. You've got the supportive grandpa that doesn't really know what's going on but is happy if everyone is having fun. Then you've got the wild and crazy grandpa whose surprised as everyone else that they're still alive considering they've tried every kind of drug imaginable.
I didn't even know that bell was a character before season 3 - I just started watching with 3 and he was my favorite character... I am honestly hearthbroken that he's gone... :(
Oh god, I forgot that Bertrand basically started out at already 50-60 is, so in C3 he’s gotta be minimum of 70-80, legit thought he was 60 in C3 before I saw this lmao.
Did not watch campaign 1 yet so I only knew Old(er) Bertrand Bell from campaign 3, but glad to see he was as full of shit in campaign 1 times What a legend
ok ok ok, I had the idea for a theory while watching this: Every campaign there's been a character death that has had major effects on the campaign/players. C1 it was Vex causing Vax to take the pact with the Raven Queen. C2 it was Molly who then gave rise to Lucien but we also got Cad who helped Fjord become a paladin of the Wild Mother. Campaign 3... Bertrand was a sacrifice. His life was given to gods of d&d, dice, fate, whatever.
This dude at late 50/early 60 was level 18? So would have SLAUGHTERED anyone in the Mighty Nein in close combat, and probably several people in Bell's hells at once, as they're about level 10 as I write this, if they'd met him at this age. Bertrand was not to be messed with in his youth. 😳
To the fans of Bertrand, may I suggest a watch over of "Camp Camp" Travis voices Camron Campbell and I like to think of a animated modern Bertrand Bell.
You know its probably a small reference that probably most people wouldnt catch, but i have a feeling that the blade queen they referenced is a reference to the shrike from the Hyperion book series
Lol, I just realized Bertrand should have been dead in the fight with the corrupted Empyrian because he said he used the +3 of the gamblers rapier and Bertrand went down twice in that fight meaning he should have been dead before bringing Grog back. Lol it was great story telling but I guess they forgot about the ability of the sword.
I cannot remember the circumstances but I mean it's not like he automatically fails the saving throws he just have a -3 on all death saving throws when using +3. So he needs a 13 to save instead of just 10.
@@squattingheads from their perspectives Bertrand didn’t do anything but boast. Those characters had no way of knowing if anything he said was true and further had reason to disbelieve most of what he said. Even then they still went to find him despite his apparent uselessness and took the time to make sure someone who knew him better would be taking care of his funeral rites. For someone the season 3 crew knew for only two days that’s a lot of effort to go to.

Yeah i hoped for something like Redemption Arc for him
I’m hoping (it probably wont) his new character is the halfelven lost kid of him and liam’s character

Bertrand Bell was pretty much Gilderoy Lockhart with some actual talent and heart of gold and I fucking loved him for it
That is such an accurate statement
bro bertrand was like 90 something in campaign 3 that’s hilarious, no wonder he dropped 15 levels

"I hope I never see any of you ever ever again" Gets sent back their way in the new campaign.
I never even thought of that, so funny 😂😂
Bertrand accidentally hitting Fern with the whiskey will never not be funny. Rip to the legend!
"Whispering Werewolf of the North" sounds like Bertram took credit for Chetney's kill 😂
He lived,
he lied
he died.
I forgot about Scanlan's comment about writing a song about him. Guess he just had that affect on bards.
yeah even Dorian. years later promised to write a song about him
difference is dorian followed up on it, well robbie did
I didn't even know that bell was a character before season 3 - I just started watching with 3 and he was my favorite character... I am honestly hearthbroken that he's gone... :(
Don’t worry. Hearths can be repaired :)
Yeah, man, Bertrand was really fun for how long he lasted in C3. I love Chetney, but I also wish we could've gotten more Bertrand before that
We all are bub
I still miss him, and same
RIP to a real one
I like the theory I read somewhere that he's the stranger who drew a card from Grog's Deck Of Many Things and wished to be a noble
I love this theory!
thats would mean he had 2 other wishes which would be interesting
@@wishstruck I wonder if his Magical Weapon was one of them?
Wow I love this! Haha I hadn’t thought of that but it is now canon to me
Wouldn't Grog have recognized him though?
Oh god, I forgot that Bertrand basically started out at already 50-60 is, so in C3 he’s gotta be minimum of 70-80, legit thought he was 60 in C3 before I saw this lmao.
He’d be like 90 because VM is like 30 years before THB
The “did you use my name” is one of the funniest things I’ve seen. Liam’s and Taliesin’s reactions are so funny
I'm sad you didn't include bertand and imogen following down the street. "Straight ahead... Straight ahead... still straight." "You done made me cuss"
To Bertrand's Bells!
Bellringers
NPCs: "You're not carrying any bells"
Bert's Bastards?
Hells Bells?
Bell Enders?
@@Feasco The reference checks out! It's funny! Well done!
Travis talking to himself as two different characters is me in any of my campaigns. we end up playing multiple characters at once
Rest well, Grandpa Bertie
We'll miss you
To the Bertrand’s bell ends 🍻

Did not watch campaign 1 yet so I only knew Old(er) Bertrand Bell from campaign 3, but glad to see he was as full of shit in campaign 1 times
What a legend
As far as Campaign 1 is concerned, Bertrand only appears in the one-shot “The Search for Grog” and its sequel “The Search for Bob.”
That last bird call is breaking my heart. Very good character, and Travis playes him amazingly
Bert was my favorite member of the new party. He will be missed.
Bertrand plus Chetney
Travis already has so much practice, he's going to be a great old man
Bertrand deserved better...I'm still super sad about it. But I respect and acknowledge the story and how everything will weave together.
You're doing the lord's work my man. I'm so sad he's gone :(
Definitely would like a prequel/backstory (one-shot?) adventure like how Taryon got one with his random party
Yeah that would be really good!
Bertrand being undercover was the best part of all of his appearances.
I love how Bertrand temporarily loses his accent after being healed by Keyleth and meeting Grog lmao
If they don't true resurrect him by the end of this campaign I'll riot.

the way Travis describes Bertrand always reminds me of a revived Ramirez in the Highlander 2 movie, standing in the tailoring store..
Maybe this would’nt have happened if he fucked with jazz
Cannot BELIEVE you left out Imogen following bell "ya done made me cuss" bit
That final "Lavitel:.....damn
The Bell's Hell's have come so far😭
I'm so proud of my darlings
Bell, the man they call Bell
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH HE ROBBED FROM THE RICH AND HE GAVE TO THE POOR, STOOD UP TO THE MAN AND GAVE HIM WHAT FOR
OUR LOVE FOR HIM NOW
AIN’T HARD TO EXPELL
THE HERO OF VASSELHEIM
THE MAN THEY CALL BELL!!!
3:08 pulling out the improv fantasy etymology, never seen that move before
R.I.P. A true legend.
4:30 that's the best part from percy
Ah yes, the Search for Frog Strongbone was my favorite adventure.
Bertrand was a great character LOL
To the fans of Bertrand, may I suggest a watch over of "Camp Camp" Travis voices Camron Campbell and I like to think of a animated modern Bertrand Bell.
nice, but you should've include that Nat 1 with a glass :)
Robbie crying out "you dick!" After Bertrand cuts Dorian will never not be funny! 😂
PLEASE BRING TRAVIS BACK!
But as what!? WHO!? Will they be another legend!?
@@porkchop4401 probably as a new character
....duh..
You know its probably a small reference that probably most people wouldnt catch, but i have a feeling that the blade queen they referenced is a reference to the shrike from the Hyperion book series
11:20 the quietest yeep xd
There’s a theory that Bertrand is the lord of the crossroads
Lol, I just realized Bertrand should have been dead in the fight with the corrupted Empyrian because he said he used the +3 of the gamblers rapier and Bertrand went down twice in that fight meaning he should have been dead before bringing Grog back.

They also had multiple 20th level healers on the team.
Doesn't Scanlan revive him with healing before the death throws would have finished him? (Still watching thru the video)
@@xEvilRaptorx I think so, because if I recall, Travis actually did want Bertrand dead so he didn’t have to play 2 characters.
man lauras was such a good dm
28:20 looooooooooooooooool
You should have included the chasing of Danas and „elevation is a bitch“.
What about all the Bug Bears?
What did he say as his vision fades ?? Couldn’t make it out and CC didn’t help
"Liev'tel"
@@TheeSweetboy My heart broke with that- so good from Travis
I still dont get why Bert got disrepected so much. Absolute madlad hero. The way he was treated season 3 kinda tarnished the new characters for me.
Like he just volunteered to help Vox Machine and gets disrespected for asking IF there might be coin.
Agree 100 percent. I don’t think I’ll ever like Ashton due to him being such an ass
SPOILERS: I realize they didn’t really know him, but I was kind of upset they didn’t seem to really care that he died.
They were really awful to him when he died lol

Man you really missed almost all of the good moments
What was the joke about his dying breath? Who's name does he say and why?
Liev’tel, the name of Liam’s character in the one shots! 14:50
What did Travis say at 15:06?
