So, the previous episode (62) had the NPC voice extravaganza from Matt and they proved a flamethrowing crossbow cant singe painted eyebrows.

There was that cool rest stop with little Orym carried in the hand, you know what they say, "A revolution without dancing (with ancient fae spirits) is a revolution not worth having." - V

Then that missed encounter... "The Hills Have Lungs" aka "Flouting a mountain encounter on walkabout."

More magical chaos when Prism's prism prompted the return of the Shivering Queef

Bonus Tongue Twister! The Barlgura growled shoulder to shoulder with the rural juror. ᕕ( ᐛ)ᕗ

Evithorir! That's the name. I dig the design. Really glad Matt said it was like No Face from Spirited Away, cuz I'm a huge fan of Studio Ghibli.

Ha! Marisha's fan!

I keep missing the first hour or so of the live stream because it's lunch hour here :( Turned on the stream and Marisha brings her fan out haha

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

Utkarsh looks like he's freezing in his hoodie with Marisha in a tank top.

Mercer isn't letting them skip this combat. Sick battle map too! Classic king of the mountain style. This fight has been put on countless covers of books. Even the voice (Evolthrir?) sounds like it hurts coming out, and I thought Serkis' Gollum was harsh.

ᕕ( ᐛ)ᕗ Another great moment.

The Raven Queen art by @Jessketchin in the leadup is siiiiick. Soulstones and feathers galore, so good..

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

I missed it in the stream but I looked up their account and they have amazing art!

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

Yeah Jessica Nguyen is incredible. I couldnt find it on Twitter or her site. It might be a new piece. I'm going to attempt a screenshot at the midnight replay on Twitch.

Just caught up and the end of this episode had me pumped for next month!

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

Wow what an episode. Loved the roleplay

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

I think that death was valid. they killed many others of the order without regret, just as this one had a name and we got to hear the backstory doesn't mean the other cultists didn't

(Comments from a late watch, catching up on C3)

Love Marisha's fan (and "I have a fan for that"). Wonder how many fans she had prepared.

Also "For Madrid!"

During combat, Emily/Prism failed at her first counterspell by rolling a 2. This is significant in relation to the 'Not Another D & D Podcast' or NADDPod in which her cohosts fail at important rolls with 2s and roll nat 20s on ridiculous flavor exercises. They affectionately refer to eachother as

The 2 Crew

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

In the last ep, there was an obvious fan art moment that I really want to see as much as possible. The whole floating tiny Orym on a gruesome spectral hand, while dozens of ancient fae wisp-like spirits swirl around him. I like these art challenges.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

That Old Spice commercial was great (#unicorns #singing #zombie #flowers) and much needed to cheer me up about the Witcher show losing Henry Cavill from the cast. His Warhammer 40k project seems to have plenty of potential, though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Im a sucker for paisley and Emily's outfit has won for my favorite this ep. Aimee has won pretty much the rest.

The murdering and looting of guest characters has been a tradition in Critical Role long enough for a tattoo.

Loot his corpse take his vest

The designer for this is @SamuraiRusk on IG and they also had art shown in the pre-show gallery, but I didn't grab the screenshot. Gotta wait til Monday.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Forgot VOD doesn't have the lead in art gallery. I remember it had two winged serpents fighting, vibrant colors and that distinct thick outline style. I don't believe it was CR related.

What's your Bor'Dor theory?

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

This is a total tinfoil hat theory, but I think he's a Cerberus Assembly spy. He’s got a high CHA stat (useful for deception), he’s loaded with spells, he’s laying on thick the “aww shucks I don’t understand what’s happening” bit, and his name is Dog'Son. He’s a son of Cerberus.

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

he’s laying on thick the “aww shucks I don’t understand what’s happening” bit

Totally! In the beginning I was giving him the benefit of the doubt. But every episode I believe him less

[–] Vaggumon 2 points 2 years ago

I just finished the episode, and I wasn't too far off.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

They ran through this Evolthrir's legendary actions damn quickly ~10 minutes into battle. Im less worried about anyone falling. The big battle map had me thinking they were gonna get mobbed by an army.

[–] thisisdee 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

That's a BIG fireball damage to the party. I'm actually getting worried about the team...

EDIT: HDYWDT right after I commented...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

For the fans of the classic fighting game Killer Instinct and the"C-C-C-COMBO BREAKERRR" memes it spawned, that C-C-C-COUNTERSPELL moment made my highlight reel.

[–] thisisdee 1 points 2 years ago

Oooh always love chain Counterspell!

[–] thisisdee 1 points 2 years ago

Wait. WTF. I have to leave now and THIS happens?!
