ExU: Divergence | Part 3

"Mirror and Key"

We return to the world of Exandria.
In Torm's hill.
It is the morning after: mourning, revelry, fierce battle, and a taste of freedom. The noise that summons you from sleep to wakefulness is the noise of the camp looking out to the west from a taller ridge out past the briars (towards the edge). Near where Erro, the night before, saw the dawn for your very first time as daylight broke. And you see people mesmerized, shouting, cheering, looking out as they point towards a vast valley to the west. Shaped in ages long ago before the Calamity, before even the Age of Arcanum (for those learned few in Exandria that even know of that eon of the world).
Looking to the west, people cheer and weep with amazement as you see Nez (one of the matriarchs of Torm's Hill) going,

"This was briar and ash...briar and ash alone! There was nothing..."
And for any who join, you see (through the grey clouds overhead) areas where the clouds go from grey to white. No pure ray of light breaking through, but enough coming through the white clouds to illuminate. Black and red stone, charred rocky fields, and yet glimmers of distant grass or trees that seem to have sprouted up seemingly overnight. The arms of dead forest reaching towards Rybad Kol that were sundered in the falling of the Strife Emperor. Here (farther away from the realm of his influence) you see cool cold dewey wind blowing across the distant fields. For many of you the first time you have ever seen a field of grass in your life.
You gather belongings and rations; spend another day preparing for your journey forward. You see many similarly preparing. Torm's Hill is enormous and more refugees and prisoners and escapees are pouring in every day. But Torm's Hill (while it is a place of safety) is also closest to those realms of the Strife Emperor and whatever his former soldier or marauders (like those that Efkedrial joined in the waste) are doing back in that ash-choked land. Torm's Hill is a place of safety and strength and gathering, but not a place for the tender. For the weak, the innocent. Those look to the west and to new fields growing and begin (perhaps much more slowly than you all) to think of their own preparations for what a free life would be under even the dim light of a sun behind the clouds.
The following morning, you are preparing to head out. Many of you with a resurgence of belief, of hope. A certainty of the gifts you now wield. And one of you (the only one who has not gained a level of a PC class) gainst a Wisdom of the Earth feature to inscribe on your stat block. Allowing you to add a 1d12 of Inspiration relating to terrain and structures. There is a deeper secret within, that if at some point we arrive in an area of of Exandria to which Garen has some ancestral familiarity, it may take whatever shape most pleases you.
As you prepare to disembark from this place, the morning that you are set to leave, a small group gathers. Erro, you see Nez and Klyssara embrace you once again. You see looking up at you, Klyssara grasps your hand (Nia), kissing it and thanking you. She's been working side by side with you on the injured and sick. Since you've arrived, two more doctors and nurses have arrived; people with knowledge of medicine have arrived. So, even as you depart, there are two more to take your place. Garen you receive a large embrace from Bolray the old Bugbear (who now holds a small hammer at his side) and nods in a sense of the lessons you have imparted with him. Fiedra sees Otto and Tevine both cross their arms looking at you. You see Tevine make a face and say,

"Shame you're leaving. Now that we cut out Marlath's tongue, we could really run quite a game on this town. You know what I mean?"

Episode 121: A New Age Begins


Last we left off, through the chaos of Bell's Hells, Vox Machina, Mighty Nein, and many other heroes that rose up to try and halt the unbridled emergence of the 'God Eater' Bell's Hells finally delivered to the core of the moon Ruidus where they battled with Predathos itself. Which now, upon its defeat remains dormant temporarily within its vessel, Imogen Temult. After passing beyond the boundaries that kept it locked away for an untold amount of history you begin to step to your trek back towards Exandria.
Tense interactions with some of the 'holy armies' perched upon the moon to stop what you are doing at all costs, without understanding the intent behind it. You are eventually given passage to Vasselheim itself, in the moments of a dimmed sky, which we will return to momentarily.
For back within the core of Ruidus (amongst the scattered subterranean tunnels) a wayward troupe of adventurers, responsible for defeating the Weavemind (and dealing with those who remained to surrender within and around the Arx Creonum), the Mighty Nein (shoulder to shoulder with battered but still-surviving Gaz Tomo and other members of the Volition) suddenly receive a message to Mr Caleb Widogast here. Bell's Hells asking for their aid. Some way to free themselves from Ruidus. To get out from where they were. Though not enough to actually find or gather where they might currently reside. As such, hours have passed since the search.
And there we find them, scattered amongst the dark underground. The smell of fungus and a distant side-echo to each word spoken in a relatively silent world.

ExU: Divergence | Part 4

"By Heart Alone"

Rising up it's eastern side, illuminated by the faintest early rays of dawn light. Its western edge still lavender and indigo; the snow and stone facing the receding night in the west.
The mountain knows heaven's stare, here in the lands of Yssilra.
The city of Vasselheim.
This city awakens in a new day. Having seen the dawning of yet another age, walls (the outer edge shattered and laid low, sundered by the blows of gods themselves) scatter here and yet the city stands.
Vasselheim, the Dawn City.
It had seen the Founding, the clashes of the Schism, the heights of the Age of Arcanum. In these streets at one point fell the footsteps of Vespin Chloras (who would call the Calamity upon the world and those long centuries of ruin would the Dawn City weather and survive). And now yet another age comes to this eternal place where mortals walk hand in hand, arm in arm, knowing that a new day has come to Exandria.
Carts move hither and to. You see the muddy unpaved streets (in some ways this city harkens back to all of the older ages of its long long life), massive masonry blocks of stone (the buildings of this place, even the ones that aren't temples have a feeling of reverence and adoration), everything here is built to last. Even the rubble has some solemnity and gravity to it, here in this place.
As you approach, having traveled for days across stormy seas, all the way to the city of Seagate, and then some thirty miles inland to the city of Vasselheim. Taking in the thousands upon thousands of people that call this place home (seeing a structure that dwarfs Rybad-Kol many times over), the vast neighborhoods and temples towering (a place that has been protected for so long by the Prime Deities), and you see a people. Humans, elves, dwarves (the vast and sundried peoples of Exandria) and a feeling here of panic, but the kind of panic that precedes both hope and despair.

Something is changing.

Lost Odyssey: Godfall Reunites Tabletop Legends for Actual Play Charity Game Special

article by Rotem Rusak

The Book of Knowledge opens once again… and from deep within its pages comes a new one-of-a-kind actual play game special from Lost Odyssey, the star-studded celebrity gaming series. But this new one-shot legend, titled Lost Odyssey: Godfall, isn’t just any ordinary tabletop roleplaying experience. Oh, no. It’s extraordinary in many ways. First, and most importantly, Lost Odyssey: Godfall reunites tabletop icons in support of Extra Life for Kids, a program of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. And second, Lost Odyssey: Godfall will bring you two immersive experiences you won’t want to miss, incorporating VR into the game in a way that will bring you right to the table.

To get the full sense of what’s in store for you in Lost Odyssey: Godfall, check out the campaign’s first-look trailer.

Lost Odyssey: Godfall, presented by Pathfinder & Demiplane, is coming soon to Geek & SundryOpens in a new tab. This actual play game special will showcase a new Pathfinder story set in War of Immortals. Pathfinder, by Paizo, is one of the world’s top fantasy role-playing game systems, and a Pathfinder game is always going to be an incredibly good time.

But we bet you want a recap of who exactly will be seated at the table. Well, this Lost Odyssey entry reunites some of the absolute greatsOpens in a new tab. Lost Odyssey: Godfall will star Matt Mercer as Ghentros, Reggie Watts as Bronwyn, Deborah Ann Woll as Audrey, Felicia Day as Sylph, & Brandon Routh as Palanon, alongside Game Master Bill Rehor (Beadle & Grimm’s). And they’ll be embarking on an adventure that will have you at the edge of your seat.

Showrunners DiMuccio & Miller have adapted the game into two immersive experiences, joining together with the teams of Lost Odyssey & Light Sail VR. First, the game special, is described as “a cinematic journey where audiences will see our heroes join together in the aftermath of the cosmic events born of the new Pathfinder landscape.” And two, the VR experience, “where for the first time fans get to sit down with the players at the table and feel the adventure around them. The magic of a home game, next to tabletop legends.” Stay tuned to learn more about both journeys.

Of course, as we mentioned, the most important aspect of all is that the Lost Odyssey: Godfall campaign’s chief mission is to support Extra Life. You can help support the work Extra Life does by checking out Lost Odyssey’s Extra Life Superteam page where you’ll find treasures in a collection of games, show exclusive props, tabletop gear, and more. Just to be clear, 100% of all proceeds benefit Extra Life for Kids, a program of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Whether or not you secure a fun treat, you’re welcome to donate to this good cause. Extra Life is “mobilizes passionate gamers to help treat sick and injured kids in their local communities.” We invite you to immerse yourself in the campaign action and help save lives. What could be better than that?

As we mentioned, Lost Odyssey: Godfall and all the Matt Mercer, Felicia Day, and co. fun will be coming soon to Geek & SundryOpens in a new tab‘s channels. And you, of course, you’re the most important part. Welcome back to the table.

Avowed

A one-shot adventure

Join Game Master Matthew Mercer for a special Avowed inspired one-shot as he guides players Marisha Ray, Travis Willingham, Anjali Bhimani, SungWon Cho, and Whitney Moore through the Living Lands and shadow-haunted shores.

Welcome to Eora, a vast and mysterious world of magic, politics, and discovery where empires weave and rove over their interests in the many gods who have presided in ages past over the Wheel (the cycle of rebirth the soul underdakes with each passing). The soul itself is a studied thing, a being's own essence, and its mechanics themselves are studied across many lands within the field of animancy. Texts and great machines recovered from the ancient civilization known as the Engwithans pertained to and manipulated souls in ways that are still not fully understood.
But such matters carry little interest where our story begins, as a sizable prison ship recently set sail from the Aedryan capital city of Highcrown heading northward.
This ship, the Dancing Umbrage, carries a cargo of numerous convicts of varying degrees of notoriety, shackled then prepped into the ship for arrival to the Living Lands, the northern frontier island where numerous settlements and foreign colonies now seek to expand and claim dominion over the region's diverse geography and bountiful resources. Rumors swirl of unnaturally abundant landscapes and uncovered relics belonging to prehistoric culture, and the pursuit of such interests requires labor. Well, no labor is cheaper than prisoners without choice, prisoners that now wait within the belly of the Dancing Umbrage pushing onward across a choppy sea as a storm brews beyond.
So here, deep below the deck, the dull, swinging lantern light barely lighting the interior of these barred cells. The strong sense of musky sweat and mildew, salt-soaked wood itself giving this awful mixture of smells that sting the senses, like an invisible mist that hangs in the air around you. The loud sounds of hard exterior rainfall hitting the hull of the ship, the undulating creaking of the wood with each shift of every heavy wave causing you all to rock and push against the bars and wood that surround you.
Here in the shadows of this ship, the many criminals sent on this "adventure" sit behind these bars sliding with each of these heavy swings. A wooden cage filled with a unique mix of white collar criminals, grifters, thugs, and some career crooks all eager to be free from this seaside rocking coffin.
As we shift over to one of the two adjacent cells, with but a set of bars between them, what are you doing?

Narrative Telephone

Much like the game of telephone we all played in elementary school, Narrative Telephone involves a group of friends telling and re-telling a short story from one person to the next; with only their memory to help them recount what they heard. As the story inevitably changes and distorts it becomes more and more outlandish and hilarious. They then gather to watch the results and react, comment, commiserate, and joke about the chaos that ensues.

ExU: Divergence | Part 2

"Seven of Them"

We return to the Rifenmist Peninsula in the south of Gwessar. A continent that has not yet earned the name Taldorei. In an age long past, where a group of straggling survivors escape the ruin of the Prison of Rybad Kol. Headed north towards a whisper, or a promise, of safety.
A community known as Torm's Hill. Pockets of civilization here in the height of Calamity are few and far between. It's been less than two years since you were there. But two years is normally long enough for a group of people (trying to survive the Calamity) to be found and slaughtered. Those that you will find (or if indeed you will live long enough to find it).
After the event's mysterious, cosmic, divine in ways and yet oh so very real, that unfolded. Shattered stone. Lightning and thunder. Roots growing before your very eyes. Lights of some strange insect. So very wild and mundane and also so unworldly. Or in the locket of your sister.
Scattered from the other companions of your gang. Sent forward into the unknown, you have been travelling for days following a stretch of magically-conjured woodland hiding from the eyes of whatever this world now holds now that 'up is down' and chaos reigns.
We return to the moments after the falling of Starmy and Fiddleflask and the witnessing of a colossal figure moving across the landscape. Crocus, at your feet, made of thick leather cord and clasp, made of dragon ivory. A gift from a god whose care is as profound as it is fleeting. And glibly given.
The lightning fades and you are left in dark forest and you do the only thing that you can. Put one weary foot in front of the other.
You are three days from where you believe Torm's Hill to be. Some of you have two levels of exhaustion already. Starmion just became rid of his very last (Insta death at 6 levels), now knowing rest that you do not. You have three days left, assuming your party can move at regular speed. However, if enough of you hit that second level of exhaustion, then that three days might turn into six. So, lets see if you all die before even a single combat.

Mine is the one where:

  • Liam plays a non-hetero somewhat silent character with a tragic backstory and tight integration into the campaign.
  • Sam plays multiple races in the same campaign.
  • Travis plays a character proficient in mêlée combat.
  • Laura's character is sexy and liked by most of the others.
  • Taliesin plays kind of an asshole with a custom class.
  • Ashley struggles with the rules.
  • Marisha makes mostly roleplay informed character choices.
  • A cast member sometimes was absent.

I know I had more but my brain is stupid at the moment.

Minoring in Pangolin with Brennan Lee Mulligan

Comedian and legendary game master Brennan Lee Mulligan joins to share the downsides of being raised by artists, learning curse words from Dave Chappelle, getting your teeth pulled by a sketchy dentist, the charms of Jeff Goldblum, and why billionaires have gotta stop.

Jeff Goldblum has his own version of Chuck Norris Jokes where they're all non-violent or vaguely sexual. For example:
Dolphins travel to swim with Jeff Goldblum

Cheers to Puddleglum for inspiring the secular philosophies of a young BLeeM.

How DnD Became a Career: Brennan Lee Mulligan’s College Journey

In the first episode of our College Journeys series, Hank Green talks to Dimension 20 host, Dropout writer, performer, and overall great guy: Brennan Lee Mulligan. Before Brennan joined the CollegeHumor cast and became a famous comedian/writer/game master, he was (in no particular order): a 14 year old philosophy major, a Law & Order PA, a LARP camper, a “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” contestant, a bartender missing a front tooth, and more!

We’re on a mission to learn how people have learned! To do that we’re interviewing people from various fields and asking them about their lives, careers, and college journeys. The "College Journeys" series aims to inspire viewers by showcasing the varied paths to success and highlighting the importance of learning, both in school and through life.

ExU: Divergence | Part 1

"Give and Take"

"Hope...
is a dangerous thing. Cruel and painful."
You behold, on obsidian walls, overlooking the fortress prison of Rybad-Kol, your leader Asmog (a vampiric hobgoblin dressed in black armor) who holds a writhing hobgoblin elder by the throat, lifting him up off the ground.
The Sundering Lord, ruler of the Steel Keep, this is the commander of the garrison of the prison which all of you will from this day to your last.

"Hope. That which corrodes the soul and weakens the spirit. That sharpest and most painful barb. It can drive you to madness if you let it. No, for you my pets, I do not wish this."
Under his hand you see the grip tighten and the writhing elder that is held aloft (silver streaks in his hair he wears the clothes of a prisoner). As Asmog raises him ever higher, the Sundering Lord looks at all of you.
"If pain is what you feel, then it is the comfort of dispair you musk seek. Surrendering hope is the only balm you will ever know. Some will tell you otherwise! They are fools."
Assembled beneath him (filling the square of the central plaza of Rybad-Kol under a red ash-choked sky) you see a thousand prisoners on their knees, shackled. Surrounding them, armored Fire Giants. Row upon row of human, half-orc, hobgoblin...You see there are numerous demons populating the walls. Chattering in glee and laughter as they look down at this public display of power.
"For those who require assistance ridding themselves of that most painful substance, allow me to inform you, despite the ministrations of the REBELLIOUS in nature. When next the Red Moon touches the western sky, we will march to glory and the final defeat of the PRIME DEITIES! FOR THE STRIFE EMPEROR!"
The armies assembled chant in unison. Massive drums, each forty feet tall with hobgoblin drummers standing besid them, massive batons in their hands. You look out.
"Word has just reached the Steel Keep. The Allhammer is dead! The Platinum Dragon, devoured! And, of course, the Moonweaver has just met her final end. But what of your divinity?"
He turns to face the hobgoblin still choking under his supernaturally strong grip.
"The Changebringer. That mistress of good fortune. Do you see good fortune before you here?"
He drops the hobgoblin to the wall. The hobgoblin elder, a secret worshipper of the Changebringer, raises his head.
"She has not seen to save you here. Speak. Do you repent knowing that your ultimate defeat is soon at hand?"
You see the hobgoblin look and whisper,
"I do not. I do not."
"No?"
You see Asmog lifts a hand. Out under the open sun (because even as a vampire, the sun has not shown here in a hundred years, perhaps he has no need of threats). He raises his fingers to snap them and below you see there is a small family of hobgoblin prisoners looking up. And you see that behind them a group of soldiers draws their weapon to level them at their face. The elder (a thin leather cord that has had his holy symbol ripped off of it) looks down.
"I repent. I repent. Please don't hurt them."
"What was that? Speak louder so that the other prisoners might hear."
"I repent! Change is not coming. The Changebringer cannot save us. Listen to what they say, I am sorry. I repent. I have wasted my life in worship to her. I do not believe!"
"Persuasive words. I'm glad that you at last have seen the truth before the lie of Hope could destroy you. The Strife Emperor still does demand punishment, though."
Asmog reaches a clawed hand into the stomach of the hobgoblin elder (up through the chest, through the neck) grabs the mouth and skull of this elder from within and wrenches the head into the chest cavity of the body. Arm covered in viscera as he sloughs him off and he falls a hundred and fifty feet to splatter on the court before you.
Asmog smiles, licks the blood off his fingers, turns to a lieutenant (a massive human enforcer in thick cast-iron armor) who nods. He turns back and goes,

"Well, what are you waiting for?! Back to work you slags!"
The drums beat and prisoners are yanked via chains.
Back to work.
This is Calamity. And the terrible work of the Betrayers.
Matt, I would like you describe your character for us and what he is currently busy doing with the knowledge that your hand is bleeding under the effort that you now expend.

Tonight Matt and Liam will be playing with:

New Music by Lilli Furfaro (www.guitartabsexplorer.com)
submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/criticalrole
 
 

Orym's Song on the video page is the newest of a series of songs announced for future release.

Lilli is a musician in a band called Ginger and Pear, but has also been writing songs for the characters in Critical Role for over the past four years. Her style can be described as contemporary folk, though Yasha's song "Bare Bones" has a fan-made orchestrated version that has an ominous mood in a cool way.

The lyrics clearly make an effort to highlight the vulnerabilities of the characters and get us to recognize them in ourselves and eachother and I find it very creative. I hope you find something that you enjoy as I have.

With the epic conclusion of Campaign 3 coming to a close on Thursday, February 6th at 7pm Pacific, our newest Exandria Unlimited series Divergence just around the corner on Thursday, February 13th at 7pm Pacific, and 10 YEARS of storytelling in the world of Exandria, we know there are many hours of content and lore that folks may have missed out on.

So to help everyone stay up to date, we made this handy guide that will show you where to find Critical Role resources from Critical Recaps to character descriptions and more!

What Should You Know Before the Campaign 3 Finale?

Campaign 3 encompasses 10 YEARS of storytelling wrapped into one campaign and it follows the lives of the chaotic adventuring party, Bells Hells.

In a world with endless free time (what a dream), one would ideally watch the following before diving into the Campaign 3 Finale:

But with so many new Critters joining us for Campaign 3, we created some resources to make catching up as easy as possible! Here is a list of all the unique ways you can get up to speed on Critical Role content!

Critical Role Abridged

All the twists and turns of an episode of Critical Role in half the time! In Critical Role Abridged, the rich tapestry of a Critical Role campaign is lovingly distilled to its most pivotal, hilarious, and poignant moments in about 60-90 minutes per episode. Our Lorekeepers have ensured you’ll catch all the crucial plot points, characters, and worldbuilding you’ll need to get started with Critical Role, catch up to the current episodes, or revisit old friends. Plus, each episode is enhanced with new pieces of artwork, bringing key characters, items, and moments to greater visual detail.

Critical Role Abridged begins with Critical Role’s third campaign, Bells Hells, with new episodes airing every Tuesday at 10am Pacific on Beacon and YouTube.

Critical Recaps

Every Wednesday, Lore Keeper Dani Carr writes weekly episode summaries for all our Critical Role and Exandria Unlimited episodes! So if you ever miss an episode and need to catch up fast, head over to critrole.com and Dani will fill you in!

If you’re short on time, watch these 60 second video episode summaries created weekly by Dani Carr for our social platforms.

For The Mighty Nein specifically, our show Crit Recap Animated summarizes Campaign 2 arcs in short 5-10 minute videos and is narrated by Lore Keeper Dani Carr. The episodes are written by the incredible mind trust of Dani, Marisha Ray, and Kyle Shire, with animation by Offworld Studios.

(BONUS POINTS: If you want to watch an animated show based on the Campaign 1: Vox Machina adventures, be sure to check out our series with Amazon Prime, The Legend of Vox Machina!)

Exandria Lore

Take a deep lore dive into the history of how Exandria came to be, from the Founding, to the Calamity, to the Age of Arcanum, and beyond — narrated by Exandria’s architect and our very own Game Master Matthew Mercer.

Starring our beloved Lore Keeper Dani Carr, check out this deep lore dive into the history of Rudius and the Gods.

Character Descriptions

Campaign 3 is extra special because it includes characters from all three of our major campaigns! So to help everyone learn a little more about the familiar faces joining the show, Dani Carr created these videos to introduce our three adventuring parties: Vox Machina, The Mighty Nein, and Bells Hells.

Check out the official Character Descriptions for the characters in Vox Machina, The Mighty Nein, and Bells Hells.

Check out the official Character Descriptions for the characters in Vox Machina, The Mighty Nein, and Bells Hells.

Also from Exandria Unlimited and Exandria Unlimited: Kymal

Characters Fearne Calloway, Orym of the Air Ashari and Dorian Storm were actually a part of another adventuring party prior to the events of Campaign 3 known as “The Crownkeepers!” These two Exandria Unlimited mini series explore the adventures of this group and are both game mastered by the legendary Aabria Iyengar!

What Should You Know Before Exandria Unlimited: Divergence?

Taking place after the events of Exandria Unlimited: Calamity, Exandria Unlimited: Divergence is a four episode mini series that follows everyday folks picking up the pieces of their world in the wake of a cataclysmic war between the Gods. As the dust settles, the mortals of Exandria discover how their world has been changed forever.

The incredibly talented Brennan Lee Mulligan will be returning as our game master for the series alongside players Matthew Mercer, Liam O’Brien, Jasmine Don, Alex Ward, and Celia Rose Gooding!

Since Divergence takes place LONG before the events of our main campaigns, preparing for the series is even easier!

Exandria Unlimited: Calamity

Exandria Unlimited: Calamity is a four-part mini-series set a thousand years before the adventures of Vox Machina, The Mighty Nein, and Bells Hells. It follows six distinguished heroes from the Age of Arcanum as they uncover an insidious corruption beneath a city that they’ve sworn to protect. This is a story where Exandria’s greatest minds could not—or would not—see the truth before it was too late. These mighty protectors will do everything in their power in an attempt to prevent the inevitable… The Calamity.

Chronological Order

The list above is just a summarization of our main campaigns, mini-series, and resources associated with Exandria Unlimited and Critical Role. But rest assured, there are PLENTY more stories from Exandria to explore with comics, one-shots, novels, and more!

So, to keep track, the incomparable Dani Carr created an official History of Exandria timeline for reference!
We hope this guide gives you everything you need to get ready and get HYPED for our Campaign 3 Finale and Exandria Unlimited: Divergence series!
