The in-game start date for the episode was the 18th of Sydenstar in the year 843. Samuel Brent’s gas has a card that says “I’m Wheelie Sorry” with a picture of a unicycle, and then opens to reveal:“… for murdering your friends”
I mean, that was a lot. Gonna be an interesting episode next week.
Any moments I missed? Feel free to post them here. Is it Thursday yet?
Can’t wait to settle in and enjoy what I can only imagine is going to be a totally chill and uneventful episode
Lessons here…. don't let Matt take off jewelry or put on merchandise. Aaaand, QUIT USING THE RUINOUS DICE. (Spoiler for next time)
Matt isn’t allowed to wear this new vest anymore. It’s too powerful.
MATT YOU RAT BASTARD!! how dare you! ^^ fantastic episode ^^
She has infinity legendary actions? Matt said 2 times that was her last legendary action daduq
As much as i love these guys, they can't count for sh*t. 8 people and none of them notice the flaw in the 16+6 addition.
Imogen just pulled the fucking Phoenix from X-men holy fuck!
1:51:45
"Around Episode 30-ish is when stuff start getting weird" –Marisha
2:50:05 don't do that. Don't give me hope.
I cannot WAIT for the 4-Sided Dive into this episode. I almost want that more than the next session.
I’m literally 20mins from finishing the episode and I’m so angry at Matt. Not for killing characters but for the fact that its been put in the light that’s it’s all on one characters shoulders.. can’t stand it and I feel so sorry for Laura, I would hate to be in that situation.
My dearest Sam, what in the world have cats ever done to you to deserve this? 😂
1:22:02 God, that crawler is such a bad idea, it's loud and makes them a potential target.
EDIT: Yep, there we go…
5:32:50: When Imogen goes full Pheonix, it reminds me of Alice going Niffin on The Beast.
CR Cast: "Here's a vest Matt. You look really good in it!"
Matt: "Thanks!" Cocks Gun
Yeah… Everyone will survive. Imogen goes all the way down the Neo path
Epic episode. Death is part of the game. If it wasn’t deadly, it wouldn’t be so much fun defeating your enemies. So true Matthew.
Use Yu's mirror! For fuck's sake use Yu's mirror! D:
Another time laudna was hurt for Laura’s characters, I hope laudna really plays up not being “important” enough to die for herself
Best. Episode. Ever.
I don't know about you, but I love it when Matt gets his evil on.
Liam is such a terrific person at the table too. Handles adversity and disappointment with grace and stature.
Spoiler zone:
I gotta say, though, that Fern and Laudna have really grown on me. Marisha has done such a wonderful job making Laudna a person that I can invest in.
As for Oram and Fern, man, I really enjoyed them in the Exandria short series and am a bit saddened by this turn of events.
Play time is OVER !!!!!! Fantastic DM work, love it …
This is the first episode of Critical Role I've rewatched. Matt keeps the (murder) train MOVIN' and it's amazing to watch.
Also, big Ms. Frizzle vibes from Marisha in this one haha
Not going to lie, when Matt introduced her as Otohan Cruel the first time I was all "That definitely wasn't a Freudian slip."
This is why Matthew Mercer is GOATED at DM
[SPOILERS]
LITERALLY MY TWO FAVS ARE DEAD. MATT WTF!!!
Wherein Sam subtly tells Ashley the party needs Fearne to start acting like a backup healer.
To be honest, as soon as Otohan cut through that Crawler like it was butter on a hot Tuesday, should've given the group a clue into this being a person NOT to be fucked with. That being said, I still believe Matt knows what he's doing and trust in his DM'ing
Fcg reminds me of the treasure planet robit
Matt has never looked happier than when he saw the cardigan
man imogen imo made some horrible rash decisions this episode even with hindsight
