As someone who used to be homeless for over two years, Caleb's "trick" with the bread hit very close to home. I actually cried. Jester is telling him he could just buy mittens when it's implied that Caleb never had enough money for a hot meal AND warm clothes.... so he came up with a clever trick to obtain both. I think Caleb is my new favorite character. That was a very subtle and masterfully done character moment by Liam.
Yeah I hear that
Your comment made me want to cry
Ya but jester and boue came from money so it would be weird to them it was a pretty good dynamic all around
Jester and beau are the percy and keyleth of the campaign, either from money or having some sheltered lifestyle in their youth. Likely why they don't understand why Caleb is so cagey about people. Granted this is still barely a couple weeks of knowing these people.
I've heard Liam actually used to work with homeless so it's probable knows quite a bit
I actually LOLed. " You've bought baked goods. You've bought smut. What would you like to do now?"
"Are there any religious temples around?..."
Laugh out Louded?

I love how Laura is using this campaign to boldly flirt with her husband to make him uncomfortable.
it was one of her stated goals for C2, to force Travis to RP a romance...

@@sonnentausnest it gets even better, I'm on my rewatch...it's even a major part of the ending of their last live show...even if it takes place 10yrs after C2 ends

Go back and watch Grogs 1-shot and pay attention to the descriptions of the NPCs in the beginning....Travis teased Fjord and Jester and made them a couple with a child...
Underrated recurring bit from this campaign: Caleb counting all of his money like a 90-year-old grandma at the grocery store
Yea, I love it so much
It might be part of the Zemnians-as-German thing. I believe a stereotype about Germans is that they're very stingy.
I thought it meant that every coin counts for him cause he used to be homeless. Making absolutely sure he gives the exact amount he agreed upon.
@@casperfiol69 That's why I love the bit. I've been homeless off and on for a decade, and I know what it's like to live penny-by-penny. It's a small attention to detail by Liam that just makes me love him more.
@SkilesHasFun yesss. This and the bread bit, where he says "now i have warm gloves & a meal" were so expertly crafted. I love Caleb's commitment and depth of his back-story.
Love how everybody in town pretends to be affronted when you bring up Chastity's Nook, but they all know exactly where it is
Like a medieval fantasy pornhub lmao
Everybody knows where to get the good shit lmao

I like the idea that Caleb stalks bookstores, trying to find legitimate magical writings where nobody else would think to look. Wizardry on a budget! And it has apparently worked out for him in the past.
+Mrtak Spielman It's amazing what you can find in places nobody thinks to look, and for how low a price...I've taken to trawling library book sales and secondhand shops and have found several volumes belonging to (nowadays) obscure series that I've been missing from my collection--which given that owning said book is the only way I'll get to read it, not to mention finish out the series, is always a pleasant surprise. I've found books in nearly mint condition, autographed books, and more, and only for a couple dollars at most per volume (or bag, if it's bag day at the library).
@@PhoenyxRysing I managed to find a mint condition 3.5 players handbook at a second hand bookstore! :D
@@BuckmeisterSupremeWithCheese Lucky! I spent weeks searching for a used 5e handbook, before realizing it was probably futile due to the edition's popularity and buying a new one. On the plus side, though, the thing should last several years at least, and I no longer have to worry about not having a copy on hand for days I can't make it in person to sessions.
Thrift store books fucking rock
I found a first edition of a somewhat obscure HC Andersen adventure in a yard sale.
Laura: I turned myself into a tan Elven woman
Liam: I turned myself into the male version of that
Loved that basically they turned into Vex and Vax
That’s what I thought
No
Taliesin’a ability to just start in the middle of a conversation is so very under appreciated.
"How committed is your GM?"
Liam: Mine made me a fantasy porno shop.
And a potion seller that sold drugs on the side for Taliesin.
ngl are you really a gm if you aren't force to construct a fantasy sex shop because your players sit and bang on the table for it like tantrum throwing children
@@jupiterwatchesvideos are you ok?
@@jupiterwatchesvideos I never had my players scream and cry at the table before....afterwards sure I just murdered that child Npc they fell in love with...but at the table? No never.
One of the badass legendary NPCs who was supposed to be a villain ended up falling head over heels for my level 1 character lmfao. DM is caught between sobbing and laughing his arse off. The villain is one of his former characters, and honestly he seems pleased to be able to continue his story.
“...What you readin’ there, Jester?”
“Nothing, Oskar...”
Priceless.
it's almost like they are married
@Emilio Santa Cruz can't tell if serious or joking
@@tungstenzephyr joking. They are married in real life, but the comment was made as a character so from the character point of view reality is an alternate dimension.
2:10:20
😄
The fact that "nah i did my own dental work" wasn't just a throwaway line and was actual backstory. I love rewatching and realizing all the little quips that actually mean something
Schmoilers
I'm assuming it meant he filed down his tusks to fit in society easier
@@essexfuzzspoilers:
Yes, I don’t remember when, but it’s revealed later in the campaign that he was bullied for being different from the other kids at the orphanage. He then filed his tusks down to better fit in with the other kids
I fully expected Sam to do BOTH his & Ashley's lines for the skit (which would be hilarious) but the awkward silence between his lines reminiscent of a one-sided conversation just made it better.
Fjord and tiny Fjord are just like that one Keanu Reeves meme
"Don't talk to me or my son ever again"
Fjord and tiny Fjord is like Big Enus and the little guy from Smokey and the Bandit. With all the talk of Burt Reynolds in the first campaign, I'm throughly sad they didnt reference it here :(
BAHAHAHAH
Absolutely BREATHTAKING

“What time of day is it”

That was Fjord, not Liam. But its funny tho
can i get a timestamp on this?
Phiro 00 3:17:05
3:28:00 - Nott's feigned ignorance aimed purely at trolling Fjord is the best thing. The way she immediately dropped the act and said "I'm not an idiot." to Caleb when he tried to correct her was pure gold.
Sibling energy.
I don't think it was fully an act 😂 I believe Caleb tried to correct her and she was too sure to back down
I love that Tusk Love found it's way into The Legend of Vox Machina after all this time! What a good easter egg.
I am new so I didn't get the reference, but it was SO obviously a nod to something.....
I saw it too! In the shop! Pike looks so cunfused and intrigued by it!
@@igotc4627 Pst... in the last ep. she's reading it in their keep ;)

I saw it in an edit and was amazed
Nott:'talking about wanting to be changed'
Fjord:'showing common ground for looking like a monster'

@@Littlecrowfriend he must be protected at all costs
@@allblazing1160 Nott approves this comment
Makes perfect sense to me.
Just need bread
The whole bread handmuff part breaks my heart all the time. Tal and Travis seem to be the only ones to really pick up what Liam was implying.
Look at Matt too, his face is really sad
And I still don’t know can someone explain. Ive been confused for 4 years
@@willowwickertop7152 It's a trick that homeless people do. They can't afford new clothing and use everything they can just to stay warm and alive - which leads to them needing to take measures like using food as a heater before eating it.
To be fair, how they react as their characters doesn't always mean that's how the actors themselves would react
Yea they live in L.A. they definitely recognized the homeless tricks out of character, but in character several of them come from money.
On a rewatch as a DM, it's amazing how Matt introduced the Gentlement completely via indirect worldbuilding. Typically you give your party obvious hooks, like the meeting in the inn or like the quest board, but the Gentlement felt like the party found out about him only thanks to their engagement with the environment.
Sometimes Matt's storytelling makes me forget that he somewhat creates the story based on the dice rolls/ interactions the group has in the world.
But you're so right! It feels like they found out about the Gentlemen earlier than he originally planned by Beau stealing the mail
I noticed he had one of the guards mention that Caleb looked like he was a patron of the Evening Nip when Jester first visits the Pillow Trove. This was before they met the Halfling in the sewers who told them about it. It's so cool
I love the contrast between Marisha's characters from the two campaigns!
Keyleth: *plants random flowers in places*
Beau: *casually beheads the blossoms from bushes*
Anastasia Hall they are total contrasts I love it
Really? Their personality is pretty much exactly the same
@@Dr.Spatula Yknow what, shes back at it again at 2:40:00. Dumb ass speeches so it seems i was wrong to kinda defend her
@@Dr.Spatula Isn't Keyleth more of a all-encompassing nice airhead while Beau is more of the perpetually pissed meat head?
@@MagizardInternet an airhead and meathead are essentially the same thing, a slight variation of stupid. Keyleth pretended to be nice while more often than not she was just as brutal and violent as the rest if the group. Both are extremely pretentious, preaching at other characters, PC or NPC
Kinda wish the “historical smut” Caleb found would have been a story about lady vex’halia and lord Perceval: the romance of Whitestone by Tarryion Darington.
Oh my god I would love this
Oh missed opportunity!!! Now i'm so sad!
@@teacupkoala175 I feel like a little reference of VM is alright but this would be a huge spoiler for someone who hasn't seen Campaign 1. Maybe change the names and make it subtle enough so that you would only get it if you've finished Campaign 1?
SPOILER FOR CAMPAIGN 1!!!
Also, maybe I am prejudiced, but Tary swings the other way. How good are none-straight at straight smut?
@@PalleRasmussen Actually better than straight writers. I don't know why but so far I found good smut with Straight writers but better smut with gay ones
"...Why, Nott? Why do you need him to be powerful?"
"...So he can save me."
That is SO sad and moving i'm tearing up
3:07:40 is an incredible roll play. They transitioned the scene from fjord-molly room to caleb-knott to jester-beau in just a couple of seconds and still all of them were in sync and understood what the others were meaning to do and no one talked over the other. That is incredibly hard to do
It relies quite a bit on them actually being in the same room, I think. (Besides their talent and experience, obviously, but in comparison to other AP steams with good actors who don't achieve the same effect.) Which is why Marisha was so adamant they had to work out a "distanced but still in the same studio" solution during the early phase of the pandemic. Body language cues like who's getting ready to speak next just don't work as well over Zoom.
@@TimpanistMoth_AyKayEll there's also some delay in online conversation which makes it super common to talk over someone
Match cuts in D&D. 🤣
Oh my gosh, you're right! I wouldn't have recognised that! :D
It kinda makes you at least understand how some people think the show is scripted, as well as they flow and work off each other. Of course it helps them being professional actors and voices actors.
I love how a roll can be a natural 20 and the response is "i was not looking for shrimp"
Rolls 20’s on random stuff, rolls trash on attack
@@KumaoftheForest The dice are tuned for comedy. xD

@@cleoking6312 ...gods damnit, now i have to write that idea down for later.
I've always knew that Travis had the brain to lead the group in a smart way. I loved Grog and the way Travis played him but with Fjord he just shines like a neutron star
Meanwhile Fjord's wisdom is like a 7 or something
During the end of VM he stepped out of character a lot to help strategize and ensure they didn’t go In without a plan.
It’s worth pointing out that low stats don’t necessarily mean they have no specialty in some fields - e.g grog being low int but able to strategize before kevdak makes sense.
Really? I find Fjord kinda bland compared to the others, so far. Aside from his relationship 'tutoring' Beau, he doesn't have much of a personality. He's just sorta... there.
I'm sure that will change eventually though, because Grog was usually pretty great. I loved the childlike side of the brute.
@@LoogyHeadBeing able to strategize before Kevdak and the speech he gave after he was defeated was inconsistent with Grog's lack of smarts.
Your character can be dumb and have a specialty within reason, like being a smithy who knows how to follow the same formula again and again, but being able to reason creatively and articulate eloquently requires higher intelligence than a 6.
@@droidgeist well that depends more on what grogs other stats are and what the plan he made as well as the speech i havent watched VM but if his wisdom and charisma was decent then i could see him being able to do it while having a low int because in our own world he have people who are not super smart but can be very cunning and charismatic in terms of dnd int is more analyzing situations, their ability to memorize stuff, and reasoning. while wisdom is more of the coman sense and intuition and charisma is more the force of ones own personality and ablity to charm and be social. i dont know grogs stats but different groups do play different and playing exactly how your satats are is for some not fun.
“Getting all sticky before the books”
“Better than after”
😂😂😂I cannot. My favorite line so far I think
xDD That was _amazing_ !
The slow realization around the table lmao Matt’s face was gold when he got it
Liam is a master of wording man! Kills me every time! 🤣
I love Nott, she's such a complex character.
And wow, Sam is incredibly good at foreshadowing and setting a tense, mysterious atmosphere without giving away too much at once.
I hope I can reach his level of roleplay one day. Phenomenal.
Did you watch series 1? You should, it has a spectacular end and Sam plays perhaps the most epic DnD character ever.
@@PalleRasmussen Scanlon Shorthalt is my favorite character ever.
@@PalleRasmussen YES YES YES YES, Scanlan is so FUCKING good. I also loved Taryon Darrington as well (the introduction with the event in the gardens of Whitestone when he first comes there were so amazing).
Sam rarely ever metagames, he sticks 100% to the mind of his characters, what they know, how they think etc, so it feels like it's not Sam, but rather his character sitting at the table.
Travis and Sam are the absolute best in the terms of sticking to their character at all times imo, and it was so much fun in Season 1, hopefully it will be many more in season 2 as well.

Thunder and lightning outside
Yasha: Just talking to god
3:05:04 Sam's reaction to Travis saying he didnt always look this way, it sounded like he was nervous that Travis had created a similar character to knott, just neither of them knew😅
Laura: "While this was going on, and she was distracted..."
Matt: "Oh no."
I love Caleb's way of speaking. Not just the accent, but his entire manner of speech.
It is "easy" to do an accent or deeper/higher voice but create a new voice for a character means also creating a new speech pattern
Ja!
I keep accidentally slipping into German intonation now it’s an actual problem
I’m in awe of how good Travis is at role playing as Fjord role playing as the maligned noble. When he rolled nat20 and then 18, I wasn’t even surprised - like, of course, he’s so convincing even the die is like “oh alright then”
Liam's "A Tale of Two Titties" joke is way underrated
Including the follow-up: 'Ball-durs Gate" lol
It's probably borrowed from Monty Python's Bookshop sketch.
@@DerpGnome I had to check several times to see if he said Baldurs Gape, which I thought it was.

Jester is such a prankster, and the narrative basically writes itself.

Why does it feel like Caleb is doing 4D chess this campaign. Every scene he’s in there’s a hint of something deeper and a larger plan. I have no idea where his character arc is going to go
Sometimes I feel like it's Liam's campaign, where Matt is only describing the world but Liam is driving the party.
I am so excited for you to find out who Caleb really is.
This is my third time watching the second campaign and I still am in awe of how well written and portrayed Caleb is.

Marisha: Francis Temult!
Laura, 4 yrs later: so my character is Imogen Temult...
Ya know, I was just rewatching it and wondering if there was a connection...
Step one: save village from impending doom.
Step two: overthrow the government.
They can both be the same step if the government is corrupt
Besides that's just the natural flow of dnd
It all just balances out
Step three: profit
Step one: kill some rats in a bar basement
Step eighteen: kill God
Pumat Sol recipe: 3 parts Canadian + 2 parts giant cow + 1 part John Wayne + a sprinkle of Long Island cab driver.
Possibly the greatest thing I've read
This is too on point
For those making one at home, that's 3 shots Crown Royal, 2 shots milk, 1 shot Jack Daniel's, poured over an entire premade long island iced tea. Then you too will see four of your favorite shopkeep!
LoLotov 10/10 would drink.
@@LoLotov forget the milk. Better that way.
The look on Travis' face every time Jester does something cute/sad just melts the soul. Soo much love.
I love the fatherly aura fjord has, he’s so encouraging to everyone in the group. And his interactions with Nott is like he’s really hoping to see her become a better person. I love it
"So he can save me." There is so much in that sentence. Holy shit, Sam.
knowing what happens in the future, everything that will be revealed, that line means so much more.
When is this lol? Must have missed it
@@kodylovesyou1412 3:01:29
I’ve been spoiled since my ass couldn’t wait to start C2 while watching C1 so I went to reddit lmao. So I kinda know what this means.
i was horrible spoiled so i know what nott ment by that
At 1:29:46 Caleb mentions his control over fire can be difficult sometimes, and then he says more quietly in a darker voice, “sometimes” once more... gave me chills thinking he was remembering his past, whatever that may be.
there’s been a lot of foreshadowing... i can’t wait to learn the story 👀
meenakshious me too.
Well he did burn that one guy to death right? that kinda traumatized him after seeing what he did.. Could be that?
@@Theories16 Matt mentioned a "wave of memories" hitting him at that moment, so it seems something similar happened once before at least. I'm thinking it might be something similar to Diablo in Suicide Squad. Losing control over their fire and killing/hurting someone they love is something of a recurring plot point in the dark pasts of characters with fire magic (even Avatar The Last Airbender does it).
on the nose
Jester and Caleb trying so hard to understand each other and be friends makes me so mushy for these two.
i love how the high richter was a snooty, self-important, puppy-hating asshole, then the second she brought racism into the conversation travis and marisha go "yep, there it is, that's all we needed to hear." that actually makes me so happy I LOVE THEM SO MUCH
1:49:25
Nott: We should have a signal if something goes wrong
Fjord: How about "Oh shit!"
Nott: That's a good one
"help me, help me, oh god, help me"

Melissa Metivier I’m so glad I clicked that
@@melissametivier4 thanks for that
It should’ve been Jenga.
I love how Fjord practically took charge of this espionage group. Like I'll work for you but stop being stupid.
"Would you prefer Black Ice, New Leather or Lavender?" Might be one of the biggest chuckles I've had in a while
After watching all of Campaign 1 with all the times Travis would having these fantastic insights and ideas that were too much for a character like Grog to actually have in game, it's great to see Fjord almost singlehandedly mastermind a minor coup.
I love Matt breaking down in laughter after realizing he made a porn shop in Dungeons and Dragons.
Not just with this, but anytime Matt breaks in general, you KNOW it's a magical moment. xD
“You made me do this!”
Edu-bation!
@@ashketchup7354 I'm so using that on my best friends! Hilarious!
What's worse is you bet critters made fan fic stories out of those titles xD
"What you reading there, Jester?"
"Nothing Oskar."
Now I know where all that FjordxJester fanart came from.
You realize they have a child together
Laura is doing this on purpose, bless her. She's putting Travis in a position where he's going to have to reject his _wife_
@@icymoons yeesh
Find a partner that flirts with you in dnd while looking at you like Laura looks at Travis.
Why does he have to reject her
Molly buys item that specifically helps you stay alive
Travis: "We've got some good momentum right now, right? What could possibly happen?"
Glad to see I'm not the only one that just had that "oh s***" Expression when I heard that phrase.
I cried at that moment 😭
Poor Tal. He bought an amulet that helps you stay alive and took the Tough feat at level 4. But those things can’t protect you from bad class design.
@@JaxonBurnagreed it was tough classes that damage you with limited healing hurts
@@danaholland6686wasn't even that. At this point the class would reduce max hit points instead of just damage. So it was a shitty design. But much much better as of now
“We didn’t think anyone would buy them” Laura. Laura we’ve been over this. This is literally how yalls entire merch line started
Many people dislike sessions/episodes of D&D where the focus is not combat, I love shopping episodes, especially early on in a campaign where the party really don't know each other yet, there are a ton of awesome role play and backstory opportunities!
The whole theme of this party is "shady as hell" and need every chance to bond (and to fill us in on who they are), so that when the inevitable but unexpected betrayal happens, it is gripping entertainment.
I agree fully with this
I find myself zoning out in combat episodes. Sure, you need them to a certain extent, but i belive we come here to enjoy the characters and the DM world building. Im surprised that there is people who dislike this kind of episodes.
isabelchmontuenga Same here. I also zone out in longer combats. It can be interesting if the enemy is intelligent and there are interesting magics going on, but basic low level battles can be really boring.
I enjoy combat centered sessions/episodes as well, I especially enjoy players exploring the skills of a new class for the first time, but when everyone in the party is *THIS* shady, every tidbit of history is golden.
dunewizard i just hated the part where they kept talking to the knights in that cellar for like half an hour
That whole scene between Nott, Fjord and Molly was just pure perfection
If I could role play even 10% as good my character would abe amazing
pvic same. I loves that part! Partly because of Pumat. Edit: Thought if the wrong part there. Sorry.
I was biting my wrist the whole time! What a fucking scene
@@doomerbloomer6160 Sam is a very fucking good actor holy crap, here i am doing a hard dungeon in my game listening to this scene in the background and im tearing the hell up just from his story and reasons. Maybe I'm just a wuss or a softie but damn that was good.
Still such a high point of campaign 2. I'm in awe of Sam's expert slow reveal of Nott's motivations and story. Chef's Kiss.
4:02:20 I love how "At dawn, we plan" has become such a normal thing that not a single person laughed 😂😭 Poor Marisha 😅
I've been saying "poor Marisha" at least twice per episode
Travis hiding in his shirt while they’re discussing historical fiction is so funny 😂
“Whatcha reading there, Jester?”
“Nothing, Oskar. Don’t worry about it.”
😂
Liam looks so giddy during Nott’s confrontation scene. You can 100% tell he is SO excited to have all of that play out later.
maddiebees timestamp?
@@ItsAcedTea 3:01:00
Matt: (in character) Oh i've been doing some writing myself :)
Marisha: (possibly in character) I definitely want to see that now
Matt: (definitely not in character) *sweats*
Marisha was definitely NOT in character. Her eyes lit up.
I dunno, I like my partners to have read my "writings" so they know what they get and is expected to give. Easier and less awkward than a talk.
PalleRasmussen I feel like it would be more awkward that way like your giving them a premade role play script cheat sheet
@@catblue4690 That would make it easier, having a cheat sheet.
time stamp on that?
Gotta love how completely different their characters are now. Like travis recommends a shopping trip
or a personal favorite line of mine... '...spa, for fjord!'
I enjoy Beau so much more, but Caleb and his hobo-wizard attitude is the best in my opinion, especially when he proudly embraces the dirty and shabby look of his character!
@@Wendeta-hq2cpit is a bit entertaining, but I feel like it’s already getting a bit old. Liam always takes these things too seriously and too far. I can see it being annoying to play with someone who consistently pushes a character trait rather than show the character (more accurately) change and adapt to their new lives
Liam is a remarkable actor though and clearly takes all of this seriously and with great dedication. But yea, it gets old when he forgets things and clings to old character traits
@@DrakeSingularity
Well he does change... it's just that he changes more slowly. It's not necrssarily unrealistic. If he changed at the same rate as everyone else it wouldn't be the same. The point of D&D is that everyone is different and evolves at different rates (roleplaywise, I mean).
Really good foreshadowing in this episode. Nott talking about wanting Caleb to change her and Fjord mentioning as disguised joke that he did his own dental work as a kid. This is so much better the second time.
I find it funny how nobody in this campaign checks there inventory.
Travis: Oh I have a crowbar!
Sam: Oh no, my thieves' tools are pretty bent-
Marisha: OH MY GOD I HAVE THIEVES TOOLS! TAKE MINE!
It kind of makes sense. When making a character in DnDBeyond, you have the option to gives your character starter gear based on their class/background. Often times this can amount to just having a bunch of nicknacks and tools that you can easily forget about without a second thought.
@@DespadaPlaysGames for me I imagine id check that every time before a mission or combat and especially when discussing a plan and bring up anything that could be useful
@@DespadaPlaysGames exactly, I have a bard character and I had a pack of candles with me for several sessions without realizing it and using them at proper times.
I'm the person in every party who details everything in my adventuring pack and will pull them out at strange times with unusual ideas of how to use them. If I have 1,000 ball bearings, a few bags of caltrops, a thing of lantern oil, and/or some random objects I've collected, the DM is about to have an interesting day.
I hope Caleb can get revenge on the cat kicker
Full tilt
This comment is super old but if it hasn't happened yet I hope they come back here at like level 15 and have completed forgotten and they run into a guard and Matt gets Liam to roll for history and says "that's the guard that kicked your cat."
May the kat-kicker get slain... I honestly don't care how, though I have a slight preference for seeing him get squashed by a Tarrasque sitting on him. Or something silly like that.
Kaleb Bagby - Agreed.
Just throw him on the planet of tarasques that apparently exists, just so he knows beyond the shadow of a thousand doubts that he is thoroughly screwed.
Oh man the bread mitten. It really drives home how hard and sad Caleb's life has been
3:17:07
Marisha: “What time is it?”
Matt: “Uh, it’s…mid-morning-“
Travis: “What time EXACTLY of the day?”
Matt: “TEN-THIRTEEN AM.”
😂😂😂😂 I’m rolling at the trolling
Can we just appreciate Nott for not just wanting to steal some shit. But wanting to get Caleb the letter so he could go to the academy. That is the sweetest thing.
It hits different now
It’s really tragic.
3:05:03 Sam thinking he and Travis accidentally went with the same backstory for a second.
Hmmmmm good catch there
I know this comment is kinda old. But I watching for the first time and your comment got me to think... "maybe Nott wasn't always a goblinoid..."
Idk, just back of the head thoughts.
Markk115 hahahaha...
Matt knew too what Sam was thinking
Oh SHIT you’re right!
I totally overlooked that the first time but that was probably the closest Sam had ever been to revealing his hand unintentionally lol. Such a cool little moment looking back.
SPOILERS FOR LATER C2
3:02:30 Sam turning to Tal after Molly says they can protect him and saying
"No, you can't," is fucking creepy knowing what we know now. This campaign had so many coincidences line up I don't think it could ever be replicated.
I adore how their rolls are all so good when they're just full of useless shenanigans but when their lives are on the line it's all garbage.
"A book-sized tome"
You don't say, Matt.
A very descriptive description. lol
mans getting paid by the character like Tolkien :D
Me trying to reach the word count
"Ah yes, and the floor here seems to be made of floor."
A book vaguely in the shape of a tome. A volume, perhaps.
Caleb shoving his hands in the bread and Marisha's and Laura's reactions are so good, Liam is seriously so good at this.
Hahaha
@@skarrynight3360 thats how disaeases are spread
*LIGHTS HAND ON FIRE*
@@discipleoftzeentch8384 tresspassing into Nurgle's gardens again?
I cant get over how great Calebs German accent actually is, German is my native language and I genuinely had to look up if Liam is German 😅
Also adore the way Caleb speaks, his speak pattern, his expressions, just everything. I adore listening to him.
Indeed. I'm not German myself but I learned it as a first foreign language ( stopped after abitur) and he has very good accent/intonations.
Yeah I'm a non-native speaker but spent many years studying it and it reallyyyyy frustrates me when people do i "i Am AsKiNg Ze QcHuEsTiOnS" style German accent- the one that's inaccurate and a perpetuation of propaganda. I was so happy to hear Liam's :)
I am German and an English teacher, and as such, I usually abhor this accent! Last week though, listening to our foreign minister Annalena Baerbock using THAT ACCENT in her speech to the UN, I found myself torn between "Her accent is terrible" and "Mmmmm... Caleb."
I think he learned from German speaking people so he have an ear for the musicality of the language
@@intrusiveshadows724 he does mention a voice training service during his signal boost shorts in the last campaign that he uses, he learns his accents from practicing there.
The fact that Marisha is writing down smut that Matt is narrating to her just shows how much they pay attention and respect him~
1:29:39 I love Caleb.
Just use mits.
"But then I couldn't eat the bread."
Then just eat and don't wear bread.
"But then my hands wouldn't be warm."
So buy some mits!
"But then I couldn't eat the bread."
"It's simple!"
he must be protected at all cost
Got to remember, Caleb's homeless. This is probably the first time in years he's had enough money that he didn't have to choose between having food to eat or warm clothes to wear.
@@BuckmeisterSupremeWithCheese It could be the first time ever, seeing as his parents were clearly poor so he was raised in poverty.
I love how Beau tries to be this stone cold badass, yet keeps getting roped into Jester's antics.
Also how Fjord constantly no-sells her facade and tries his best to help her out of the shell.
It's the best kind of interaction, the serious character being dragged into shenanigans!
To be fair, tieflings are VERY persuasive.
@Dead Pooly I remember really disliking Marisha as Keyleith and people defending her with "nooo Keyleith is just a hard character you hater". Nope, same shit here. Marisha just bypasses her character completely when she see something funny/cool to do. At least here she doesnt play as big of a role so I just don't care.
@@Baan616 I think Marisha might be the weakest link in terms of roleplaying (and certainly is far from being my favorite and a very strong contender for the opposite slot), but I also think she's there very valuable as a player. What I see (it's not much), I think Marisha holds the group very much together while out of characters in a similar way Jester (the character, NOT Laura herself) does for the group in-game.
@@Alche_mist I feel like Travis and Sam are the glue.
Vox Machina was a family
Mighty Nein is a sitcom
This episode is gold and Laura Bailey is a national treasure.
