What is Critical Role?

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

I really hope Ashton mentions the Hishari to Keke, and that Laudna gets to interact with her some more, just because ID love to see Marisha roleplaying with both her characters. And if a certain necromancer maybe makes a reappearance…

Longshot wish - any mention of other meme bees of Vox Machina or M9, especially ones we haven’t seen yet

Wish granted! Titan blood for everyone!

... Are they putting a bag of holding inside the hole? Wouldn't that explode?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, Chetney had the "satchel of holding" from a couple episodes earlier.

[–] thisisdee 1 points 1 year ago

I guess they either forgot or decided to ignore that rule. Which is fair cos I think teleporting with people inside the hole is pretty cool.

When Orym's mother is saying she's proud of him for potentially being able to "hear the voice" he says "I'm hanging in" and it reminded me of those motivational cat posters. Then I saw this on that new Strange Planet show.

How's the Strange Planet show?

[–] thisisdee 2 points 1 year ago

How old is the rest of Vox Machina at this point? Percy is human so he doesn't live that long compared to the rest I believe? He'd be in his 50s?

But if this is VM one shot in the making to save Vax I'm 100% in. Get the team back together!

I’m a little worried with what happens if Keyleth and Chetney’s new sword are in the same room…

[–] thisisdee 1 points 1 year ago

It's amazing that "it's a perch and it's empty" for Keyleth's Vax tree is heartbreaking enough. "And every day the raven came to visit" –– until this I guess...

Orym, the Savior Blade of the Tempest

[–] thisisdee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh wait, did Orym forget to go to Derrig and Will's grave?

[–] KlayBersk 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They'll do that next episode before teleporting, plus get their clothes and maybe some more shopping.

[–] thisisdee 1 points 1 year ago

It just felt like some of the party members were so eager to teleport ASAP so I was worried they forgot. There was a lot of new information thrown their way and some of them seemed to want to act right away.

[–] thisisdee 1 points 1 year ago

This is a lore heavy episode. While great I feel like I need a rewatch to process all the information.

03:45:00 Matt totally breaks down with the ridiculous fun he's having trolling Sam.

Kiki is back!

[–] thisisdee 1 points 1 year ago

What's everyone's expectations for tonight's episode?

I hope the team gets some relaxing time in Zephrah, meet more of Orym's family, and tell Kiki about Vax screaming.

[–] thisisdee 1 points 1 year ago

FCG's commune was unexpected. I thought he was going to ask about the sword. Although "Are you worth saving?" is a cool question to ask, I feel like it's a wasted question. Is the god gonna say no?

[–] thisisdee 1 points 1 year ago

Aww they don't even get to enjoy the party a little bit before the meeting?!
