What is Critical Role?

Critical Role is a group of nerdy-ass voice actors who sit around and play Dungeons & Dragons.

Streams every Thursday at 7pm PT and then rebroadcasts the following Friday at 12am and 9am PT on Twitch.

Fearne got a badass Pally to be an ally, got the cleric to a downed friend, and got the boss kill. MVP!

"She's just a cloven-hooved fire lady..." - FCG

I might rewatch tomorrow to get a list of all their perennem puns. Matt said it added up to about 25 temporary HP. Imagine if Imogen died because of that lol

[–] Vaggumon 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Travis getting the talking sword is so on brand. I'm 100% sure it's the Blade of Graz'zt. The Tal'dorie book says that The Blade of Graz'zt was lost where they currently are.

Is it good or bad that Chet has it? Although I’m thinking Chet doesn’t really use swords so he might not end up using it himself?

Another 5 hour episode tonight!

I wonder if they manage to find enough flowers and get back to Zephrah this episode? And would Orym tell Keyleth about their Matron of Ravens vision of screaming Vorb?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Apparently Liam had a challenge to make every sexual flower reference he could, hence the "forget-me-~~nots~~twats", pussywillows, and "bearded iris"

[–] thisisdee 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Can Orym do the aramente? Is there a rule of who can do the aramente? Or is it just based on tradition that only the leader and their successors go through it to then lead the Ashari?

Great response to the straw poll. Literally no one (other than FCG) has made up their mind.

[–] Vaggumon 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm by no means an expert, but as I understand it, yes, if he is chosen.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Agreed, it seems like 'royalty' was looked at for the chosen before anyone else, if I remember correctly.

[–] Sunforged 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Still watching the episode but Talisen taking a drink instead of voting was perfect.

[–] thisisdee 2 points 2 years ago

Abstaining from "undecided" is amazing.

[–] thisisdee 2 points 2 years ago

That was a great episode. Great battle map and a tense battle. Glad they saved Baernie, although only 5 survivors is rough. Excited for them to be back to Zephrah next episode and hopefully get a bit of downtime there before going back to the excavation site?

[–] thisisdee 2 points 2 years ago

They just asked Matt at this week's 4SD whether a god can have multiple champions or just one, and this episode they meet one of the champions of a god. Great timing.

[–] elscallr 2 points 2 years ago

Fearne got a bit distracted by "pleasure"

[–] thisisdee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is this Dark Fearne origin story?

Totally picked the right character to offer though, Fearne is probably the only one who would accept? Poor Orym though, his best friend just made a pact with the devil.

[–] Sunforged 2 points 2 years ago

I feel like with everything that has happened to Orym the since the solstice, he will be more inclined to understand an friend seeking power. He is definitely in a grey phase right now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The description of Ashton's origins including another explosion and sudden teleportation seems comically tragic. I couldn't help but imagine an animated synopsis for him, a la Looney Tunes.
