We've finally found the one thing Matt Mercent can't do: play Jester.
But oh my goodness, Liam’s jester is spot on though. I could just see Lauras embodiment of jester being channeled through Liam.
@@jamesansell3636 Must have been all that time playing as twins in the previous campaign and now Liam can channel Laura's characters.
Yeah. He can't. It's inching closer, but he doesn't have the same impulsive mind. He only really picked up on her positive outlook.
@@MagizardInternet That's not true, but Jester is pretty unpredictable. She's a surprisingly nuanced character, as her name may suggest. She is both a childlike lover of whimsy and one of the strongest mental and physical members of the party. She is impulsive and intentionally funny and dumb at times, but she has a ton of heart. She also has an incredible amount of denial surrounding her past. Her childhood and past is honestly a pretty negative one, and it probably should have turned her into a different person, but because she is so committed to not realizing the severity of a lot of the things that happened to her in her old life, that's what gives her her positivity.
You can't really predict randomness, and you need to be able to have Jester's sheer inquisitiveness and randomness in order to truly play her. Liam is able to embody Jester very well though.
Honestly taking on the mantle of Jester is a burden only few can carry
"Would you say Pumat is unique?"
Liam: "...Well he's not one of a kind."
That might be my favorite Liam joke to date.
I laughed, then gave a slow clap.
"Wait. Did Caleb just say a joke?"
Liam: "No."
I just let out a huge, "UUUUGGGHHHHH"
2:27:07
gotta give credit to Travis for the setup
When she’s gone, you just notice SO MANY missed opportunities for Jester to pop in and say something
When the gentleman was... dripping? I was SO waiting for jester to pop in and say "WHY ARE YOU SO SWEATY"
She may not be the most powerful, but she is the most noticeably missed player of the group if she's gone this campaign. Laura MVP
She is so perfectly off the wall
You don’t know what you have until you are missing it. I also feel she is much needed comic relief (everyone is funny but she is so off the cuff it’s so refreshing)
Filled by Marishas dumb azz
I love that the entire gentleman plot line came up because beau wanted to steal some mail
It's a federal crime for a reason!
The brilliance of Matt Mercer! It’s awesome!
Seeing as jester was looking for her father i feel like matt had plans on how to introduce him into the story, but then marisha decided beau went and did that and he thought to himself "hmm i could lay that thread right now"
Molly & Beau: You guys left too much of a trace behind.
Gentleman: A purple tiefling and dark skinned human were seen in the area.
Molly & Beau: *surprised Pikachu face
Fjord: Moral of the story, we all suck.
Yet the made a stink about nott n caleb.
I did question at the time the wisdom of having the flashy purple DEVIL seen out on the street. And it's not the first time the teiflings were front and center in situations where they would probably prefer not to be remembered.
@@JDub-TV to be fair, Jester could actually disguise self. So her being upfront wasn't an issue, even as a Tiefling.
As for the Molly, I mean that just was not wise at all. Especially when Matt was throwing out massive hints with literally every NPC either being disgusted, distrustful, or at least making note of his heritage. It's like the black/white guy being in a 1950s white/black neighborhood and some heavy shit goes down. Best believe that everyone made note of your presence
@@kylesinger7764 Let's be fair: Caleb makes enough of a stink as it is, and that's without these shenanigans.

For the next few weeks, Critical Role and their favorite charity, 826LA, are working to raise money on Crowdrise to support children’s literacy and storytelling. If we raise enough money in the coming weeks, Matt will once again don his velvet robe, fill his tumbler, and have a fireside chat with us. Donate now at 826LA.org/criticalrole.

Laura Bailey was sitting home watching this episode, eye twitching, slowly filling a pillowcase with D20s waiting for Travis to get home.

Can I just say; seeing Liam break from his gloomy dark wizard persona to play substitute Jester and get that huge grin on his face is really heartwarming.
it is!
This is my favorite part of this episode, no joke
And he's so good at it!
He is an actor...
as much as i love his tortured wizard and vax, i would LOVE for campaign 3 liam be a total 180 from what he's done before, would be so fun!
"this one is alcohool , this one is alcohool , this one is acid . *DRINKS ACID* "
if that is not a power move i don't know what is
Well, as a Water Genasi, he knew it wouldn't affect him knowing it was acid.
@@TheButtaSauce you have a fair point , BUTt still , damn
@@kumakaon9225 Oh, I wasn't disagreeing - that was definitely an epic moment. I was just giving reason to his action. :)
@@TheButtaSauce np :)
I enjoy me some alcohol, dont get me wrong, but I prefer acid if given the opportunity. I'd much rather drink acid
I live for Yasha gaslighting the party every time she shows up.
reminds me of Hermione in the prisoner of azkaban
I don't know what you're talking about, she was right there the whole time.
As a person who is marathoning this it doesn't matter if it's 3hrs or 4 hrs bc there is still 100+ episodes I still have to watch.
Yup. An episode or two a day in 'podcast' form is the perfect background to keep my brain stimulated while I do menial tasks during my workday. 😁
Same. I'm trying my best to get caught up to where they are in C3, and banging out two of these a week - and am loving every second of it.
@@bloodybutterflygaming1242 im out here playing shadow of war for the forth time with this in the back playing
It's something i can listen to and crochet. So binging this for a few hours t a time ad working on a project is Perfect. As a side bonus.....
@@atomicbuttocks how do you deal with final act being capture everything on 4 different playthroughs. Bc that was honestly my only gripe with the game, it's obvious padding that didn't need to be there or at least that long. It's been a while since I last played but don't you have to recapture like 10 or 15 forts in order to finish it.
Molly is totally living by Captain Jack Sparrow's quote of "Me, I'm dishonest. And you can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest."
Me? I'm a dishonest man. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly.
It's the honest man you want to look out for.
@@justbeingjason4486 Because you never know when he's going to do something incredibly stupid.
@@DisneyLover258 Jester is the most honest person in this party, so that's an important part of the quote.
totally true
*Begins quoting the entire script of Pirates of the Caribbean*
The nein is what happens when everyone independently decides that they're going to play the weird awkward party member who's bad with people
And somehow it's... kind of working.
Except fjord
@@10xbetter88 fjord is weird
cj chillax sure, but he’s good with people beaus compliments sound like insults, Caleb is the quiet nerd boi, not many NPCs trust nott as a goblin and his charisma is 5, jester messes with people and cheats in card games, molly says he’s weird himself in character, and Yasha is practically invisible
cj chillax Fjord is nice to people and doesn’t steer clear of them either
Matt: Make an intimidation check
Fjord: *points at Yasha* Look at my big friend
I love that Laura knew that Liam does the best Jester impression, and decided to message him for all questions and RP decisions.
It was actually a group text, Matt corrected Liam on what Laura said at least once, and Sam represented her at many points. Liam just took on the role of reading aloud
@@laurens.6940Exactly. I think Liam just had more downtime in the RP conversation and thus was more attentive to the group chat.
Holy crap, Sams flask. “Laura, if you’re watching this, I’m totally using your dice tray”
I love him so much lmao
yo same
You even see him pouring whiskey in, pretty sure it was jack Daniels lol
Ian Gallagher I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed that
@@seshgreen4084 Timestap??
I was trying to read that and couldnt make out totally or using. ty for this.
Yasha has perfected the art of standing so still, that she gains invisibility.
I understood that reference
We can see you eating
'Hi Yasha'
'Nevermind'
WHY IS YASHA!?
Nothing goes over Yasha's head. She is too angry, she'd catch it.
the way Molly was immediately like "haha yeah of course i know you, yeah you know how it is" reminds me of a post somewhere where someone said if they had amnesia no one would know because they would be too anxious to admit they didnt recognize someone
The alcohol and acid scene gave me the same vibes as that one John Mulaney quote- like, someone going "is this alcohol or perfume?" "*chugs it all* it's perfume"
I was just thinking the same thing!
a n d i t w a s.
Anybody can order people around and lose a card game. Takes a special type to chug acid to make a deal.
Well now I want Mulaney casted as the Gentleman for the animated series lmao
@@anthonydavis5288 Water genasi are also acid resistant. Not that I'd want to drink a vial of strong acid knowing it'd only burn me half as much...
Molly at some point said he was in the carnival for about 2 years, but he also said he had been in the carnival his whole life.
It seems both are true
he said he'd been in the carnival "as long as he reasonably could remember" :)
I don’t know if it was Tal or Matt that planned this whole Lucien thing, but the foreshadowing....
@@themakerstoolbox9688 They have confirmed this. Molly purposefully didn't have a backstory and Talesin asked Matt to make some shit up to fill in the gaps. And so Matt did this. And came back with Lucien.
also earlier when he was talking to fjord about how his family were sacrifices to gods and they escaped with the swords was that molly just lying? so confused
@@lukassnakeman yes, near the end of the zone of truth Fjord ask him if the power he does with his swords is his power and not power in the swords. Molly confirms this and says the prayers he does are not for the swords and that was for show
*The Mighty Nein:* _Constantly brings up not trusting each other and everyone in the party having secrets_
*Jester:* _Holds nothing back, trusts everyone completely, hasn't done anything wrong in her life_
😶
Beautiful blue cinnamon roll too good for this world, too pure.
It's less that she's that honest than it is she's too naive to realize when to leave the truth unsaid.
The weirdest thing is it's really more of a child like innocence more than anything but she is like 28 in cannon which makes me feel wierd everytime she talks I love jester and laura but her childish personality combined with her actual age just gives me the hibbie jibbies
@@rogueartificer Laura has said in Talks that Jester is around 20, where did you pull 28 from?
@@rogueartificer It's pretty damn weird and that's kinda the point, she's... sheltered, for lack of a better term? If you can call someone with her parentage sheltered
Can we just appreciate the fact that the party has spent over 1,000 gold pieces at pumat sol's shop
@Tarik Steen i mean that cloak and the healing potions alone is over 1000 so
So?
It's been closer to 2000 at this point lol
They've spent well above that in campaign 1 at Gilmore's
As they should
Marisha:”I’ve dated WAY too many Luciens!”
Matt: 🤨
"Dated"
I can only imagine how crazy the meeting with The Gentlemen would have gone if Jester had truly been present.
ANoun YouMissed she would probably have given him a pamphlet for the traveler
all dead
Jester would have been the one gambling with the Gentleman. Laura wold have rolled all ones, then tried to cheat. It would either have been a TPK, or the Mighty Nein would be in serious debt to the Gentleman.
@@nottelling9581 on the wiki. according to matts notes, if they at ANY point lied to them. they would have been knocked out. and sold into slavery. chances are if they cheated at the gambling game the same thing would occur
Jester:” Thaumaturgy!”
Nott: "Can I say Crick? Is that OK? Do I have to be a crick to say it"
I'm dying
Crick is our word but you can say crickaa
Criccer
@@daboomaninc739 cricker
iNeedAir WOAH!! You used the hard R bro chill
"It depends on who you're talking to" Is the line that got me
Pumat Sol: "yeah we have that repeated customer discount"
*Travis channels his inner Grog & keeps buying potions at 50g EVERY TIME*
Nah he could actually be acting pretty smart about it. Pay full price on the small stuff to establish the relationship and full price on the big stuff to strengthen it so you can get discounts on everything in between and eventually the small and big stuff too.
😂bro had seen enough of his friends getting down
I now live with the fact that Matt Mercer, has in fact, technically, voiced a cat girl
I hate this so much but I hate even more the fact that you're not wrong
Rule 63-65.
Pumat prime: what if I made three of myself to take care of my store so I can enchant items 24/7
M9: can we get the MANAGER in here we need HELP with IMPORTANT BUSINESS
M9: hey how much is a potion
When you realize the M9 are a group of Karen’s that are also part of the Tinfoil Hat Society
But they didn't ask him to come out this time. He came out because the others were busy with customers.
this is actually super fucking funny lmfao
Molly is like that one kid in high school who has friends in every friend group but he doesn’t actually like any of them
Ahahahaha that was me 😂 Everyone needs friends, even if they're placeholder friends that you tolerate until you meet someone that you really connect with.
Knew there was a reason I liked him so much!
Me... I was on speaking terms with people from every possible level, from the lowly nerds to the popular girls, the athletes, band kids, gamers, etc. And at a high school of over 2000 kids, there were maybe 6 or 8 people that I actually liked talking to.
This was so me, except I learned most people are great 1 on 1, but get them into groups and everything goes to shit.
See, I took the opposite approach. I rarely ever made a friend, but when I did, they were a person I could actually, kind of, just about, maybe, almost tolerate in small doses. It was great.
After jester casts zone of truth, Molly immediately gets more emotional. He opens up the walls that were up...that's a great way to play out that spells effects.
But didn't like the way Tal chose to play Molly towards Nott at the end. That was just lashing out.
@@Kasino80 mistakes happen, Nott got the short end of the stick this campaign though she was getting heat for the scroll too 😢
I wish Jester was there. She definitely would have been bugging the gentlemen about how they were turning into water like Fjord.
*He, not *they
@navychap82 you suck.
"Laura if you're watching, I'm totally using your dice tray" at this point I am solely watching for whatever Sam puts on his flasks
What do you think made the first campaign funny as hell? Pulling the same shit with a giant mug lol
Well that’s fucking stupid
Welcome to the club
Yasha disappearing and reappearing suddenly without a word and startling everybody is hilarious.
lol shes always like: "i have literally been behind you at the bar for like ten minutes"
It's the opposite of Vax rolling stupid high stealth and vanishing in front of everyone. I love it just as much.
She's like Batman, just shows up and disappears when people turn their heads :D
I am vengeance, I am the storm, I am Batbarian!
Aleksandar Malovic more like batgirl in the original Adam west show
liam..... makes..... a startlingly good jester what an incredible actor
Its their jobs to be good voice actors 🤣
@@Atomy111 doesn't make it less impressive lol
Molly: everything before 2 years ago is blank. Don’t remember a fuckin thing.
The Mighty Nein: *proceeds to ask about his forgotten past for 30 minutes, asking what he’s forgotten*
That’s not how that works babyyyy
can we just appreciate that Pumat managed to make over a thousand gold from this one group....
4allmusictypes that’s why he is so friendly with them
Basically nothing for a guy who deals in magic items cmon
He's moist Gilmore
@@kaleidoscope942 But Pumat Prime was immediately happy when Fjord offered to buy the 800GP Cloak of Protection. Just because he runs a shop full of high end items doesn't mean they're flying off the shelves.
@@travisbishop3282 I think it might be the difference between an item he created for the intention of selling, and a commission. I imagine that the school place orders heaps of commissions and he makes most of his money through that. But in store sales may not be as common.
I never noticed how much Jester talks...but now that she isnt here it feels so quiet lol
I know Right!
Yeah, it's kinda nice.
Liam did a great job
It feels so much better not to have a spotlight hog like her around
She gets everyone else to talk. I think Laura is a great presence on the show.
- "Why are you being so weird?"
- "I'm always weird."
Honestly, big mood.
Sam absolutely tearing into Ashley's lack of backstory lmaooo
Always feels like he's trying to catch Ashley at the top of her game cause he loooveeessss going back and forth with her. He's certainly always there to keep her on her toes.
What goes through my mind whenever Pumat Sol shows up:
"This guy is our new Gilmore!"
"I'm not seducing this one"
"You say this now"
Sec Pendragon jjj
I miss Pumat...
touche
When is it during this episode
Marcus Cascio It isn’t. It’s from the first time he showed up.
Lowkey hoping for Travis to miss an episode just so I can hear Matt's Fjord impression. It may or may not sound like McCree.
Didn't know I needed that til I read the comment
D a m n you right
YES!!!
"It's haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa--"
"Excuse me Fjord but I am the timekeeper of this group and it is actually 11:37am"
@@deffdefying4803 its high noon somewhere in the world.
I'm in love with the Fjord-Beau good cop-bad cop routine. You'd think the warlock would play bad cop and the monk would play good cop, but they have the script flipped and it's beautiful to watch. A true masterpiece of comedy and acting
Meh, it just comes off like Beau wants to have her cake and eat it too. She wants to call people out for wronging others, especially Nott, when she wrongs people all the time.
She is also like, "you must trust me and be a team" one moment, and then she says "if you run off with my stuff I will beat your ass". Who is supposed to trust who? Beau doesn't trust Nott, but she expects Nott to trust her? Its just backwards logic.
@@shuheihisagi6689 Beau is immature and hot-headed, it's a part of the character, she's hypocritical and contradictory often because she has very few set morals, and usually just wants to piss people off and get her way however that may come. It's intentional, and I think its hard to ignore how comedic that archetype can be when paired with a more "straight man" like Fjord.
@@kubafin1376 I am further down the line now, and I can appericate her growth as a character. Because I feel she was facing tougher choices. Its just really hard to root for someone in the beginning when they have almost no likeble traits for the first 15 episodes.
I disagree that she wasnt very likeable in th3 first 15 episodes. She mightve been a bit gruff but her hypocritical brand of 'no bs' is entertaining to play out to see how it affects the group
@@dominikgose2609 same, like i haven't been super into her character the past few episodes, but i definitely liked her a lot during trostenwald and alfheim

Thank you, but it’s still far down...
I think its the funniest shit that last episode Molly and Beau were all up in Nott and Caleb's grill about taking the scrolls and getting everyone caught but this episode The Gentleman is like yo lmao yall know that the purple tiefling and the darkskinned woman were the ones caught on the scene and that just tickles me real good lolololol
I missed that until watching this the second time through. It hadn't occurred to me that Beau has dark skin. Tan, sure, but I didn't realize it was "dark." So when the Gentleman mentioned "tiefling and dark-skinned woman" I was like, "Huh? Who did? Ahh, never mind."
Ikr bunch of hypocrites
That was so vindicating !!
@@benjaminZ20 To be fair though, they got caught while trying to carry out their jobs in the mission. Caleb was making a deliberate choice for personal gain.
@@PwnyGOD which is why they grouped up in the first place. Honestly Matt left them a ton of goodies that they just all left behind. I'm pretty sure the reason the crick assasin had so much platinum was because they left behind the safe filled with platinum earlier. After the carpet incident there was no reason to leave "no trace".
“Looks like we’re in bed one way or the other.”
Beau: “I mean-“
Fjord: “Leave that one alone.”
Didn’t even skip a beat, he was RIGHT THERE!!
I need a time stamp I can't remember for the life of me.
I can see, in-world, Fjord saying that without even bothering to look in her direction.
Years of being married to Laura bailey give advantage to initiative on those kind of jokes
Marisha and Travis have the best chemistry in this campaign.
One of the best Beau moments so far!
Jester is such a memorable character that even though she wasn't talking in the bar, I could hear her talking the whole time. Lol

@@vigilantsycamore8750 where's the fanfic?
TFW you realise Nott used 100+ gold worth of acid to steal 3 empty vials
Well I don't think he espected the person to drink the acid either.
But they're THE GENTLEMAN's vials! So worth it.
Also, she left a positive impression on the Gentleman there, so it was totally worth it
For all that she's sweet and protective of Caleb, she's still a goblin, and that means she's going to do stupid things and takes stupid risks to acquire shiny things. It's a compulsion. Also, she thought the "test" would kill the Gentleman and they'd have him out of their hair and be blameless in how it happened.
Vial shiney
Knowing what we know now, Taliesin did a great job of stringing Kree along and got some really good information. It must have driven Matt crazy to hold onto it all for so long.
I do wish I could learn how he was intending to use Lucien with Molly active in the M9.
@Josh Parsons in the wrap up, he tells how the story would've gone had Molly not died.
@@tannyglover9195 welp, I know what I'm listening to on my way to work tomorrow. Thanks! Lol
But he knew about a book and rituals but then he told the group he didn't know
It's such a shame that Laura wasn't here for this one.
I'd love to see her interactions with the Gentleman and his game of luck.
I like to imagine that she would play him for his jacket or something and then try to give the jacket to Caleb or something.
She's so chaotic and random, it's hard to pin down what she'd do but it would've been entertaining.

Chris One of the funniest things I’ve seen.
Travis reaction was perfect to this
IAmBecomeJeff Travis is a worldwide treasure and we must defend that family with our lives
Caleb: no pressure at all but it's nice to have some muscle around
Nott: No! Alot of pressure! MAXIMUM PRESSURE
(I'm picturing Nott has climbed up Caleb's back and is glaring at Yasha with big yellow eyes; like how a cat will look if it's uncomfortable with a dog nearby)
Hahaha, now I am picturing it too! (and apparently 592 other people by counting your Likes)
The last two
Such a perfect mental image.
"I fell face first into some coin recently, I think I'll take that"
I love it
"Jester is the most random character." And Ashley took that as a personal challenge in EXU/campaign 3.
LMAO YES!
I both want to see Jester and Fearne together and am terrified of what that would be like 🤣

LIAM
and so on XD
Everyone ignored her except Matt and Liam, tbh
Andrew Sam brought stuff up she said once or twice
If Laura ever misses another session, Liam *has* to be Jester.
lol your profile pick just fucked me up
@@Anjin76 same god daamnit
@@samandrews7856 dude im on dark mode and it worked
Every single time Matt says "Last we left off" I can't help but finish it "Saving people. Hunting things. The family business."
They don’t even trust each other yet are instantly willing to trust an underworld kingpin with their blood. 😂
I think the implication was pretty clear that they didn't actually have an option there. They would have either been forced to do it, killed outright, or kidnapped.
To be fair, it was pretty clear there wasnt a choice being given. They were taking their blood, either they could give them a small amount willingly, or they take far more then they needed by force.
I think OP's point is that they didn't really even question it at all and also didn't at least ask if they could discuss it as a group first.
It really was a: "Be my slaves" with no desire to reflect on the matter.
Mollymauk: "I explicitly, under magical duress, do not WANT to know my tragic backstory." The entire party: "BUT WHAT IF-"
98 episodes later "shit we should have listened to molly"
@@Ghost-Mom man am I behind
@@choncedarabbit4472 I read "98 episodes" and took psychic damage. How do I catch up with that?
@@sydneylarrier9263 I think there's 120 total episodes that are all 3-4 hours long so I have absolutely no clue. I'm just on the biggest binge watch of my life lol
@@sydneylarrier9263 I legit watch at 1.25 speed. Helps the episodes move faster and you still can understand everything that's being said.
Liam's Laura impression was spot-on in this game.
Well, he did spend years being her twin brother in Vox Machina, so it's not too surprising.
I hope he plays a character like that in the next campaign.
I have to wonder why she was texting him and not Travis
Probably texting a what's app group, and he was just reading it first. There's points where Sam says what Jesture is doing, and other points where travis and Matt both know what is being said.
Gunnar Eilers also keep in mind Liam is like Laura’s best friend aside from Travis. He might know how to play her character better than Travis would.
I think my favorite thing about this campaign so far is yasha, and how they incorporated Ashely not always being there in to her character wandering off to do some businesses and just reappearing out of nowhere XD,
Except for Sam, who did not notice that his incessant "but where were you" joke was only funny once.
Personally I love how they still include Ashley even though she couldn’t be there for many weeks because of her schedule. I think for many introverts, it would truly mean a lot when friends still include you. I know it would for me
@@kitten-inside I don't think he was trying to be funny, he was trying to be in character. It's pretty ridiculous that nobody else in the group was that bothered about finding out more about her when she's been extremely mysterious and shady. They've just been involved in some massive political scheme, it makes no sense that they would all just be cool with Yasha hanging around them despite them knowing absolutely nothing about her.
And as nice as Ashley seems, I find it pretty disappointing that she didn't seem to spend any time off camera preparing some explanation of where she had been and what she had been doing during her absence. I think Sam's relentless questioning was a combination of Nott's realistic suspicion/curiosity, and Sam trying to give Ashley some opportunity to actually give her character some depth, but she just completely failed at the improv and seemed to hide behind "Yasha isn't ready to reveal her secrets yet", despite the fact that there's no way the rest of the party would actually let that slide.
I actually think the way they've handled Ashley/Yasha's absence has been pretty lazy and broken a lot of immersion. If I were in Ashley's position I would think the least I could do would be to spend an hour or two deciding what my character would realistically have been doing during those times I wasn't at the table.
@@DOKTORPUSZ As much as I love these guys and this campaign, from where I'm at so far I agree 100%. Hope to see something change a little further on now that Ashley actually came back at this point, but it's definitely been very out of character and frustrating that everyone implicitly trusts Yasha whose been there like, 10% of the time so far and whose PC is lazy about backstory.
@@chuckn4851 I'm up to episode 70 now and we have explored more of Yasha's character, but I feel like most of that has just been down to Matt doing some serious DM'ing. It kinda feels a lot like Yasha is a character that Matt made, and Ashley is just playing as her every couple of months. I'm still enjoying it though and I bear Ashley no ill will at all. I can't exactly expect much more from her end considering she's absent for more sessions than she's present, and I doubt she has the time to have watched the full 4 hour session every week to stay fully in the loop.
Enjoy watching though! Some really exciting stuff ahead for you :D Also did you see they've been approved for a Mighty Nein animated series on Prime?! I can't wait!
Lucien sounds so evil. Poor Molly wanted nothing to do with whatever evil person had a ritual, got creepy eye marks and blood powers, and got buried in the ground.
First few episodes: guys, be careful, this is a really nice table.
Fourteen episodes in: *SILLY STRING~!*
????? Explain
@@marcuscascio9632 the table they're playing on was made by Wyrmwood. They were so reverent of it in the first few episodes, but now they're shooting silly string (the spray) everywhere
Aldurnamiyanrandvora they probably have a cover on it by that point
@@Rexwar31 probbaly, but I was just explaining to Marcus
Molly to Caleb: "Do you have memories from your childhood."
Caleb, quietly: "Ya, many."
.... this is so worth rewatching.
Its sad all around
@@Zanoscar only for a month. Comes up many times in many previous episodes.
Veth insisting that Molly remember his past, before "he" died, also hits hard, since... She was forgetting.
@@beanspud88 I still think that he has a photographic memory for some things even after years. Its just very specific things, like say the intricate details of a map, are gone after a month. Thats just the way i interpret it
@@InnsannaStories this made me so sad. I hadn't thought of that yet.
Beau when yasha mysteriously leaves the group and joins back:
I sleep
Beau when caleb and nott does something:
👁👄👁
Beau and Molly bother me when it comes to interactions with Caleb and Nott.
@@betterdeadthanred7410 It's concerning that they keep belittling her the first time around but watching this for the second time it's hilarious how much they underestimate her. Nott's int. is literally 2nd highest in the group.
This is entirely consistent with Beau's philosophy of "I don't care what you do on your time just don't involve the group in your bullshit."
@@majere666 unless it's her or Molly.
@@majere666 the weird thing is she seems to completely ignore it when Fjord establishes himself as an authority figure, or goes off the rails/push the red button in ways that could get the group killed.
I almost wonder if part of her mistrust for Caleb and Nott is their close bond with each other, *especially* considering that Nott has such an unconditional parental love for Caleb, which Beau might resent
Fjord: how much is that cloak on the wall
Pumat: the protection cloak
Fjord: yes
Pumat: the cloak you ask about every time you enter my store
Fjord: the very same
Pumat: the one I've told you the price of three times and three times you've winced and said "too rich for my blood"
Fjord: that'd be the one
Pumat: 800G
Fjord: eskettit
Pumat, suddenly changed: whatever you say boss
I love Taliesin freaking out about the Lucien reveal AND the spread of guns in Exandria at the same time. Every once in a while Matt really knows how to torture a player.
That is how you make player choices have consequences, percy made guns, and they'd get to other places then whitestone thanks to ripley eventually. Taliesin gets to feel what travis did when it came to the herd and the kevdak bs. That shit will come to hit you like it or not.
thats a lot of bodies for percy to make

I like how Ashley slipped up and called Travis Grog, then looked around nervously to see if anyone caught it. And of course, no one caught it.
“You mean we’re not gonna bet again?” Gosh, the unassuming, innocent little head tilt and the smile from Travis after this line…
I know I’m late as hell to this but I can’t believe no one is talking about Travis during the gambling scene. My gosh, this man just oozed so much confidence and unsettling charisma in this scene I’m actually speechless
Late also but I think Matt is Travis/Fjord's biggest fan, you can tell he is so glad to see him play like this, while the group barely acknowledge it, love it
I full on came to the comments to say the exact same thing! So glad someone already noted it
I don't even think Travis had full knowledge of the mechanics of the card game. 7, 5, 3 is the second best on each roll but did he know to add or was Travis just guessing. I haven't watched in Talking shows so if Travis discuss it then I would like to know. If Travis didn't know then the last bet was amazing.
@@slktool He played the Hand of Ord several times as Grog in Campaign One so he may have remembered how to play it.
Travis is such an underrated smart roleplayer. You see him figure stuff out before everyone else at the table ALL THE TIME! Yet because he played Grog some people still think he's just a big funny man. He's brilliant.
I didn't realise how empty the party would be without jester.

@@kaikozuki3718 Haha welcome, I'm on episode 38 now
Agreed. Laura is a generous and enthusiastic player.
she and sam are the most interesting party members.
Fjord: Does that book have pictures in it?
Horus: ...no.
Fjord: Then why the hell are you reading it?
Marisha: Your Grog is showing.
To be fair, he is talking about a porn book.
@@Sarcasticjab Zero pictures in Fifty Shades of Grey or most romance novels. Men are supposedly more inclined to visual stimulus and memory so that makes it a more likely banter between the two but pictures aren't necessarily a requirement.
Timestamp?
@@candy-coatedrose513 1:52:20
he prefers manga for that particular medium
Matt doing the ogre smiling face gives me life.
The look on Ashley's face when she says " i'll be behind Grog--- Fjord...."
Of course Taliesin formed a cult
It is THE MOST Taliesin think he could've had his character do. That and join the circus... oh wait.
And it seems Molly did too ^_^
Which one for who though?
Hailey K Molly is a bloodhunter after all
@Julie Kavanagh He reminds me of James Spader.
zone of truth
everyone: asking an important question
Jester: “do you have a crush on me?” “do you shave your butt?”
I heard this in Jester's voice
I feel like Laura was upset st home when Fjord made his saving throw on that one...
It's so sad that Laura wasn't there, it would've been so funny 😂😂
Dew ewE have a crushonme?
Laura Bailey is a gift to humanity.
and so begins the mystery of the Eyes of Nine of Mollymauk, the mystery of Lucien, and of the
Nonagon
Guess you could say Mollymauk has a Blindspot in his memory
I have a feeling that Matt "forgot" to keep having Frumpkin make stealth checks just so that he could geek out and describe the underground complex in more detail.
Sometimes roleplay wins over rollplay
Can't frumkin go invisible and even if he can't it is just a cat
Christy Truitt Caleb could also choose to swallow his pride with a cat and choose an airborne build or a smaller creature that would be naturally stealthy
@@johnpaulcross424 im not sure if it is pride as much as it is that fact that frumpkin likes being a cat
Christy Truitt that would be warlock pact of the chain
2:09:15 "Wait, Empty or M.T.?"
M.T.
Mollymauk Tealeaf.
Yep. They made his name that at the carnival because they misheard him as saying M.T. and thought it was his initials.
Mind blown
@@GZilla311 I don't believe they misheard. Keep in mind that it was repeated back to him afterward. I'm of the opinion that the owner simply refused to believe it but yes that's where the name comes in.
The switch in Liams face going between Caleb and Jester is honestly amazing.
As much as I love Grog, Travis as Fjord is just awesome. The sass towards the Gentleman’s men was perfect.
Imagine being such a good DM that your players are genuinely pissed that you have to stop after three hours.
It’s a dms greatest honor.
You can take the Sam Riegel out of Scanlan, but you can't take the Scanlan out of Sam Riegel.

I don't know what's better- Caleb playing wingman, or how beautifully awkward he is at it.
Molly: Do you have memories from your childhood?
Caleb: Yes... Many.

liam and laura may not be irl twins but spiritually their twin connection is so strong they can inhabit each other's characters
It is probably because they share a birthday
@@jeffwithheldforsafety8359 really? Same age and all?
@@longshotsquirrely3646 no, I think Liam is 5 or 6 years older
Wait… what! They’re not twins? All this time… No! I can’t believe you. Or they at least related?
@@definitelyarealperson248 Liam and Laura are twins in much the same way Liam and Sam are married. In both cases new fans will go through the following phases:
1. Oh, that's cute.
2. Wait, but they're actually not?
3. No, yeah, I get it now: they totally are, in every way that matters.
"I don't know anything. That's part of my charm."
That makes more sense now.
oooooh good point
Going back and rewatching, it suddenly make a lot of sense that Nott would focus pretty heavily on Molly's previous life.
