When Scanlan suggests lying about why they're there, I really wish somebody would point out that the one time they went to a town and were entirely honest about who they were, they got in without incident, befriended a brass dragon, got immediate access to everyone they tried to see, were given a bunch of free potions, did not get framed for a murder victim they chanced upon, forged an alliance with a mercenary group, and got a free airship.
That is a valid point... :D
Wheres the fun in that
@@terryroberts5309 Air. Ship.
It's totally in character for Vox Machina to *not* learn from that experience.
😄
Travis: "You guys actually write notes? I just draw pictures." - also has detailed list of everything ever in the bag of holding
It's just a bunch of sketches of things that are in there. A severed orc head is just a green frowny with X's for eyes and actual blood (Grog's blood) on the parchment. Grog really loves drawing with blood.
"Mostly decomposed orc head..."
"A random arm..."
😆😆😆
Not to mention a mostly decomposed troll [REDACTED].
subtitles at Matt's horn: (pathetic horn noise) "but much deeper and cooler sounding than that"
subtitles at Taliesin's horn: (deep and cool horn)
When the captions have shade
And then they say: "...can't do horns" and Matt immediately does a (deep and cool horn sound)
Matt's competitiveness showing lol
Subtitles are always amazing, even with the occasional goof up
I really loved these subtitles. The people who made them were SO amazing.
All: (kazoo)
Grog: "Don't tell me the odds."
Vax: "I wouldn't. You don't know addition."
Me: *laughs uncontrollably*
this comment made me laugh and i haven't even seen the scene yet
I mean... It's true though. XD
I read this comment the exact moment that this quote happened. The timing is crazy
Man, Sam's dedication to the entertainment value of Critical Role astounds me. The shirts, the stickers on the bottom of his mug, the sponsor advertisements, the songs, the limericks, the "inspirational quotes," the jokes, even the instruments he brings. He's the veritable epitome of a bard.
Yeah the others are actors but Sam is a true bard.
So true, he his a real bard.
He is such a good bard that I am afraid to try one myself...
@@davidbergfors6820 right? People talk about the Mercer effect for dms, but what about the Reigel effect for bards?
He made CR what it is.
General Ellie : are you sure these people are ... trustworthy? They seem like idiots
Allura : yeah sorry i think it's a stress response
more like: "They are idiots but damn are they powerful."
The only thing more terrifying than an intelligent power is a dumbass with power. Vox Machina helps to represent this. No one can deny.
They are idiots, so just point them in the right direction.
It's one of the things that are not done well in the show. It actually makes no sense that the general would not know VM. They saved Emon several times and are technically part of the council not just allura...
@@greifffax eh if she never met them in person then the reputation may not even matter, once she sees the motley crew of goofballs standing in their keep 🤣 besides, it's not unheard of for a soldier, or anyone else for that matter, to not hear all the news all the time.
But I mostly agree. You would think someone OTHER than Kynan had heard of VM lol
"I've been under him for 15 years"
Everyone: [eyeing out Laura]
Laura: [holding in laughter]

Therapist: "Beardless Sam and Travis aren't real, they can't hurt you."
Beardless Sam and Travis:
lol!!
Hayden Weiss sweet Jesus that is terrifying
It's funny... Beardless Sam looks like Elon Musk, but bearded Sam looks like Tim Curry. And Travis without a beard looks like Travis when he was in his mid-20's... Babyface Travis.
That's what it is! I couldn't work out what was strange about them, something felt wrong, thank you
Since this was the week after the Halloween episode, I can only guess they just started no shave November with a clean face.
Sam and Travis shaved and now suddenly the whole group looks ten years younger. Wizardry.
Everness THANK YOU! I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS DIFFERENT!
I'm sure it was because of the face paint for the costumes.
Tei Koyuki iiiiiijkkkkkkmmmmmmmkkkkiiii
*that's* what it is!
@tei koyuki Oooh that's why! I find Travis so much handsomer with the beard, don't know why Laura would make him shave XD
And now we have a clip of BAFTA-winning actress--Ashley Johnson--yelling the word "cooter". Thank you, internet.
Thank you Sam Riegel.
holly shit, i didn't know she is in the last of us. damn dude

@@whateverppl1229 Yeah dude that's really what made her famous, she's the main character Ellie . The game was so good I stopped watching The Walking Dead.
@@nicholasspinicelli2911 I think that's just a recent example, not her actual claim to fame. Pretty sure Growing Pains is her claim to fame.
Theory confirmed. Sam started cranking the "crazy" in his ads to 11 after being made fun of for the wine aerator.
you know you've made a great player decision when the DM mutters "fuckin' Scanlan"
When I DM I say "dumb stupid smart players" .
What point of time Matt said that?!
@@billy3923:11:52
Its just so obvious he had 2 fucking temples and 3 bosses for them and scanlan ruined it 😂
"Doesn't time *video freezes frame for two seconds* shift weirdly?" Scanlan
Scanlan confirmed time traveler.
Potato Knight scanlan knows Dunamancy
It’s the matrix glitching from the improvisation
1:13:20
@@RonquixoteDIII i was actually so excited to go back and watch this that I lost my place in the episode. I didn’t notice it the first time 😆
"I stay put until my friends are far, far away" is such an underrated, good character moment
Scanlan MVP
Scanlan is heavily slept on.
I've been out of school for three years, but I've been itching to write an MLA formated persuasive essay about why Scanlan/Sam is the backbone of society itself.
@@averagegirl7113 I would be HONORED to peer review it /co-write it friend, that is exactly what the world needs

"Right, but good news! We're still alive"
i love scanlan and grog
I read this comment as it happened lol
when scanlan was asked what wares he was selling at the city of brass, i was really hoping he was just gonna pull this bag out and say "Fusaka!" :P
Do you spice?
Brilliant
I was hoping he was going to try and sell Trinket lmao
@@thecondescendinggoomba5552 Oh God... Laura would have ripped his lips off lol
@@thecondescendinggoomba5552 i thought the same. I was like "point to the pokeball. Point to the pokeball"
"Could you recognize a fire giant Grog?" "If it's giant, and it's made of fire, ya" LOL killing me...
Grog makes me want to play a low intelligence character oh so badly
RIP Sam whenever he drinks but no one notices the notes on his stein. He looks to Travis every time and then at the ground in disappointment.
I love him doing it during the Percy/Vex ship moments trying to break up all the seriousness and travis is just giggling and completely enraptured in the conversation
Few episodes ago used it to announce his baby that was born soon after this
@@snarglblargn4986 oh, I thought it was just a random sticker, huh
It’s okay. We notice 😊
I noticed this too. Hillarious!
So they're preparing a dungeon to defend against a dragon? Huh. Didn't see that one coming.
I imagine Thordak on the other side playing “Dungeons & Adventurers”
@@acapier This comment is underappreciated.
supersmily5SS5 how did you not see it coming they’ve been discussing it for the last two episodes
@@Rellyks Are you a brazilian player?
@@HDloly yeah, i am. Are you too?
"What's the DC on this?" "Well, it's my spell right? So, 21." is just the most deadpan underhanded brag I've ever heard.
The best part about the last twenty minutes is watching every single player get oh-so-slowly further and further creeped out by the new NPC while simultaneously falling more and more in love with Matt.
Megane Girl yes. There were so many laugh out loud moments there.
I love the "Can you afford what i make?" look he does.
I loved it when Vex slapped percy's ass. "Percy get up." Oh the art work for that coming up.
and the best part of that is how everyone finally just broke at something as small as Matt's laugh when Vax was messing with Vex
Exactly like Clarota
the day we discovered Scanlan could feed an army.
Jackson LeTourneau The mansion can do a 9 course meal for 100 people.
cant clerics use the spell "create food and water"? if pike would be willing to use all spell slots she has, she could create enough for like 200 people.
also, thats full meals, if we would ration it by lets say half, same for scanlans mansion, about 600 people could be supplied daily.
@@DarksnakemrniceguyThey could TOTALLY open a restaurant, and not need to buy the ingredients!
A chicken buffet
Well, basically, it was Matt "allowing it", as the Manison can only feed up to 100 People.
Also, only "creatures" get expelled - Objects seems to have some "undescribed fate" upon them (And Damn, am I happy that the last GM did not notice, as we made a "Junk-Gun" from it....)
I love how Pike is always somehow simultaneously the teams strongest and weakest link. One moment her aura shatters an undead army by the dozen and the next she is asking a djinn/demon directions to a holy temple
That one made me facepalm SO hard
Calls down the wrath of a god to punch a dragon in the face but also causes an avalanche
@@Anonymous_Eyeballsand her goddess does less damage than the rogue
Not even HER God's temple
Scanlans plan for the the magnificent mansion was freaking brilliant. Letting the soldiers come in and get a good hot meal in a safe space to help rebuild moral and get them away from starvation is perfect side use for that spell.
Per the spell, the mansion contains enough food for a 9 course banquet for 100 people. There are roughly 200 soldiers in the fort at that moment. I'd say half of a 9 course banquet is still a pretty good meal.
49:04 it was Travis who came up with the idea
Why does everyone forget they already let people in back near Westruun? This isn't the first time they've sheltered a large group of people in the mansion.
@1:07:30 I really thought he was going to make Matt come up with a name on the spot for each soldier he let in. Wasted opportunity 😂
Liam: "Is it broad daylight right now?"
Matt: "it's - it's - it's - *laughs* I'm not gonna say it, but the sun is high in the sky."
I loved that so much, pure gold right there!
You are now fully standing within the uh, the sunshine proper.
I didn't get this line. Can someone explain?
@@UncleB617 Matt voices for a character in the game Overwatch; a cowboy named Cassidy who, when he uses his Ultimate, says "It's high noon!" The man has had to repeat this line so many times for this character that it's become a running joke, so he refuses to say it outside of VA.
@@Doran_Runebliteno shit. That's awesom
"We're so stupid; this is gonna be fun." That should be the Vox Machina motto.
That should be the Critical Role Theme Song
That should definitely be written in Elven or Celestial.
Raishan got there like "alright I brought the guy"
And poor poor Cassandra had to tell her they are not there
Raishan: I am an all powerful ancient dragon, humbling myself to appease you ants. I do this task they asked of me and now you tell me they AREN'T HERE!
Allura/Cassandra/Gilmore: We're sorry.... Please don't kill us.
Kashaw: “first time?”
@Q I don't know anything this is my first time watching it, but I think that she is The Mastermind behind it all and she's playing them they're not playing her
Poor Cassandra goes through so much crap lol
i love how *everyone* just conveniently forgets that vox machina is a member of emons council just as allura is. even they themselves
To be fair, they are only honorary members and don’t have official titles or duties. As evidenced by Scanlan-fly getting bounced out of the meeting before Uriel stepped down
Even in C2: "Who's on the Tal Dorai council??"
'Every time you ask, another member dies!'
Basically they were only members when it was convenient for Uriel.
They fight dragons and get killed every other day. I think a bit of memory loss is forgivable.
Allura: "I've notified other members of the Pansophical, but many of them have their own issues to deal with..."
Yussa, lounging in his seaside tower hundreds of miles from any dragon attacks: *flips off the general direction of Tal'Dorei*
lol Spoilers for C2
Knowing Yussa's usual MO he probably had his leg trapped in a magical bear trap or something at the time lol. Or was exploring a different realm like what's implied with the emergency tuning fork the M9 stole to the fire plane.
@@mayaenglish5424 I just got an image of Yussa getting a message spell, camera centered on face. Dragons are attacking Emon! Camera pans out to whatever clusterfuck hes gotten himself into...
@@connerbixby6532 As Dragons fly over the ruins of Emon, the camera pans up into the night sky. New scene, we hear an explosion and see a flash in a black expanse, pinpoints of light in the distance. The camera slowly pans to the right and you see come into frame giant writhing tentacles from a great and terrible Cthulu-esque abomination. Clutched in one such tentacle is the Arch Mage Yussa. Smash cut to Yussa "Yussa, this is Allura, five Dragons Attacked Emon, could use assistance, you owe me for the incident with the entombed crypt lord, you know why."
"...Well shit, bit busy Alluraaaaaaaa shit! Sorry not you, hold on *latin chanting* anyway, bit... held up at the moment, would love to help, sorry."
Still think he might be a Gold Dragon

Hmm? Oh...OH...
LMFAO everytime scanlan uses dominate monster matt always says "oh shit. okay!"
Skallia Ray well, dominate monster is like a 8th level spell or something
Well that pretty much breaks matts plans unless he can out roll scanlans DC lmao.
@@asluckdespairs It's really hard to outdo a 19-21 DC. Even if Matt were to break his monsters and give them like +6, that's still less than 40% success
That and counterspell in earlier episodes.
You think that's bad I am a divination wizard who can do the same with a sadistic gambler's smile.
From a DM perspective, I do wonder when and how much Mercer had set aside for that place in his "Just in case they go here" stash.
James Closs A good DM has a lot of that prepared. Sometimes though you just have to go with it
CaptainTalon448 preparation isn't necessary, I do it as a DM anyway but rookie DM are the ones who do the most preparation because they're scared of the unknown
CaptainTalon448 well, yes, but I more meant that he knew he had put a Vestige there and so had probably set up some concept of the chain of events that would bring the players to the Vestige if they went to The City of Brass. I'm just curious how much. For instant my world book has a number of introductory or general adventure seeds pocked through it in case the heroes go vastly disparate places on a whim.
He build the location around items of interest. I imagine the fireplane was backdrop for the group, yes but Mercer has done a great job of worldbuilding around the "Vestaments."
The need comes first, the substance after.
"Is that a bad idea?"
"There are no good ideas anymore."
Yep, sounds like Vox Machina. 🤦♂️😝
There's never any good ideas with those idiots. they just do
@@thehelmethead4883 Nah they're not all idiots, Keyleth and Vax are idiots, even Grog is smarter than them sometimes
Good ideas? In D&D?
*laughs loudly*
27:42 "With closed captions"
"This: (Pathetic horn noise)."
I'm SO GLAD I had closed captions on for that bit
especially with Taliesin's following (deep and cool horn)
Ahhh YES I cried! XD XD
Sam won this episode in the first minute by getting Ashley to yell "cooter" !!
I a little terrified to watch campaign 2. Cause sam is a perfect bard
@@michaelbonyak3517 Trust me, his campaign 2 character is perfect too. Sam's characters are just awesome in general.
@@thesaltycat9493 Yeah ive been bingeing it. He disappears into his characters lol. But he definitely is chaos incarnate
@@michaelbonyak3517 Nobody can deny that fact.
the sly corralling by the previous answer being 'Hooters'
When Scanlan said they were there to sell one of the pets they had been traveling with, I thought he was going to turn to Vex and make her get Trinket out
I thought he was going to point to Grog.
If you listen close enough you can hear Fjord weeping over his ring of fire resistance
fjord finally got vindication on that purchase (sort of lol)
@isa382 and now he finally did 😂
Jenga means "My name is Vax and I fucked up" and Super Jenga means "We all fucked up."
Best line.
he is the one who initiates jenga the most
Cause he always goes ahead of the group, attacks before they get there, then realizes, oh shit, I only have 90 hit points and a really limited ability to reduce damage after he attacks. Despite already having done this shit 50 times before this current instance of him initiating a fight he can't win without backup and almost dying.

@@DerpGnome It feels like Liam plays Vax with a serious case of main character syndrome no matter how many times Matt hammers into his head that dnd is a team sport.
Matt really has some of his finest moments when he's tap dancing for his life. The whole second half of this episode is such impeccable improvisation.
"I'm not gonna say it, but the sun in directly above" lmao!
one might say its 1 o'clock....
They don't want to say a phrase that one of Mercer's voices is linked to, for they fear the potential punishment Mercer could bring upon them for it.
Fetch26291 which voice?? It seemed so funny to the players, but I have no clue what it’s referencing. I though he was just trying to avoid saying “High Noon” or something lol
@@allisonperron6365 Matt Mercer voices Overwatch character McCree, who is well-known for his phrase "It's High Noon".
That got me laughing for a while XD
I know I’m many years late, but when pike and grog are goofing around together it’s made so much better by how tiny Ashley looks next to Travis
Every time Liam and Laura act like real siblings a Critter gets wings.
Only for an hour, tho! :D
Twin-ergy for the win
44:44 laura leans into ashley and whispers "i'm really glad you're here" omg i LOVE THEM 😭
At 1:22:25, the thought that it's like Allura is the keeper of a group of ridiculously powerful children hit me.
Allura gets to keep the braincell most days
Rewatching this with the context of Matt being totally unprepared for their adventure into the City of Brass is *awesome*.
Emily where does he mention this cause that is awesome
@@lizbogonia I would assume the Talks Machina following this episode.
I think its specifically mentioned in the campaign wrapup too. Entirely made up on the spot!
It showed that he was unprepared for it when it came to the description of the city when they first entered around 2:50:00ish. He stumbled over it, making mistakes. I am massively impressed with how quickly he recovered an took back control.
"Ive been under him for 15 years" Laura's face summed up my reaction perfectly lol
"A warning for people watching the G&S CR playlist:
Don't watch the next video, Talks Machina Critmas, in the order it's listed. It's actually TM #6 and takes place after episode 79 (Thordak). It includes a lot of spoilers for that episode. Learn from my mistakes! "
(copied from ep 75 comment by VoixMortelle )
Thanks for the head's up, that's actually really good to know!
And people tell me not to read the comments while watching. Thanks for the heads up man!
Hey, thanks!
You're a hero
Thanks!
I have had a group of friends for years that are all a very close knit group, we shared almost everything in common save for one thing, D&D. I always bought right into the stereotype of D&D being a stuffy nerd game that just wasn't my speed, they all tried to get me to sit in on a session but I refused and from time to time they would blow off hanging out with me to all play D&D together. It pissed me off and I'll admit I developed a bit of a complex about it and started actively hating on D&D without actually knowing what it was really like to play. One day one of them challenged me to watch or listen to an episode of critical role and not fall in love with it, I grudgingly accepted and listened to an episode at work, I was smiling and laughing to myself the entirety of the day. Before I knew it I had listened to tens of hours worth of critical role and a week later I got help making up a character sheet and joined my friends regular game. I've never looked back, my point was to say thanks I guess to the community of critters and the cast of CR for helping me get past my hangups and have some of the best nights in with my friends in my entire life
Want to make sure your kids never do drugs? Get them hooked on D&D, They'll spend all their money on dice. That's what I love about the game. It brings people together. I play with my family every Saturday. No tablets or phones of video games. Just the 6 of us laughing for hours.
artrekz Dice are cheap compared to books, maps, minis, paint, etc...
That’s what it is all about man having the best times with your friends and family.
I was in the same boat around this time last year. All of a sudden the Game Grumps started a series and even though I thought it was super nerdy, I also didn't want to be a douche about it. I decided that I would watch it, and if I didn't like it that was that. Needless to say, the fact that I'm here right now should hint you on how that went.
I am 100% here for stories like this. i feel like i missed out, my friends/family didnt even tell me they had played D&D or some ttrpg, until i found critical role and went apeshit with it.
I don't like scrolling

"Yeah [the songs] give a lot of insight if you pay attention."
Seeing as Percy had *I'm Not Okay (I Promise)* as like his first song for the first playlist, I think I got all I need about him from that.
If one wanted to find these playlists, where are they? Can someone post a current link?
I love how Matt withholds all this critical information until they ask the question. "Do you know our father?" "Why yes I do!" I have this awesome magic ability to call everyone you need, but I'm not going to tell you about it until you ask!
DM's can be some of the most sadistic and vexing motherfuckers in existence. Tread lightly around them :P
my Cleric's deity is "DM" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I wonder what will happen on a successful Divine Intervention...
Celestial Vengeance nah it'll but just like pike with serenray. Your god the dm will smash his fist down onto the game board and obliterate the enemy figurine. WHAM
She mentioned it when they brought up that they needed to contact people. Should an NPC list off every spell they know when they introduce themselves or something? Even my party members don't know every spell or proficiency my Bard has. Lol.
that however makes the suspension of disbelief hard sometimes.
Cenokir voted NPC most likely to wear a suit of human skin
Yeah, it felt like Matt was channeling both Anthony Hopkins and Donald Pleasance.
Bloody hell: "I'm not going to say it but the sun is high in the sky." have almost took me down from the chair.
Can you explain the joke to a smooth brained idiot like myself?
@@essexfuzz Matt’s Overwatch Character’s phrase is “it’s high noon” (McCree)
@@merindab oh thank you! I've never played that game and had absolutely no idea what was so funny, this makes perfect sense
@@essexfuzz I’ve never played it either but I picked up that much just by osmosis. Lol
Ok. I did some math.
If Vex and Keyleith both cast Locate Object (concentration, 10 minutes, range 1000 feet), and Keyleith can cast Wind Walk (duration 8 hour, speed 300 ft + plus DASH action = 600 ft / 6 seconds). At that speed, each of them could travel a path that is 6,000 ft long and 2,000 ft wide, or about 1.1 mi long and 0.4 mi wide. After 9 minutes (10 minutes of Locate Object less 1 minute for the conversion required for wind walk), each of them could cover about 4 square miles.
Together they would cover about 8 square miles in 10 minutes. If they are unsuccessful after the first 10 minutes, they could just cast Locate Object again, transform, and repeat as necessary. Manhattan has an area of about 22 square miles. If the City of Brass is about the same size as Manhattan, it would take 30 minutes to cover the entire city.
But they break consinrtation on locate object to shift into cloud form becuase that takes one minute active consitration right? And then they can't cast once in cloud form
It just takes one minute, it's not concentration, but it does mean you can't move or take other actions.
@@alexv3357 youre considered incapacitated when you're changing form
Irrelevant but I read your comment as "Ok. I did some meth." and had me a great giggle.
bad plan. splitting up in a city where mortals are most often viewed as fodder for slavers is the dumbest idea.
This Genasi guy must meet Gilmore and Victor the black powder merchant. I'd love to see Matt jumping between each voice xD these are my three top favorite characters!
I think Matt would just explode
He is definitely the creepiest NPC so far, and I love him!
I can already imagine the encounter:
Gilmore: "Victor, fine man, would you be so kind to fetch me some powder?"
Victor: "Powder! Yessss" *runs towards a black powder satchel with a candle in his hand and explodes*
Cenokir: "... Ha.ha....."
I actually read this in their voices, plus Matt's normal/DM voice for the bolded part
Add the sun tree in the mix :D
Honestly I think they should have put more effort to contact their friends in Vasselheim. Both the Slayer's Take and the Temple of Bahamut have promised to help them if they proved themselves by finding some of the vestiges. Vax has connections to the Raven Queen's temple. Grog has connections to the district dedicated to Kord. Pike has her goddess' temple. With all those connections, they could easily convince Melora's followers to aid in supplying food and other supplies.
I don't know why, but I really want to see if they could get that half-orc that Grog fought to come help also. :P
Yeah, having him and the Earthbreaker would have really been interesting to see.
They were really focused on the fire plane and happy with Allura doing the dirty work with messages. I still want Viktor recruited. They could get that dwarf from the bar in the first or second episode too. I was always curious how strong he was.
Bunny Rabbit I'm fine with going to the Fire Plane before the final fight but not this episode. Alert all of the allies first because it will take awhile for them to be ready to move and then go to the Fire Plane.
Yeah, not everyone can teleport
So. Who else FULLY expects the "We can start the montage, right now!" moment to be animated into Legends Of Vox Machina now?😂

It better happen.
If it doesn't happen I'll be a very sad peep
Also Alura stoping it
Only for it to be happening in Grog's head and he's just humming adorably in the background.
Scanlan will have a montage song.
i am asking-nay, demanding-that shirtless percy working on a trebuchet be included in tlovm. i just think that it would really be good anatomy practice for the animators and would also be a very important moment for scientific education. moments like this are just so foundational to the lore and also it would be super hot i mean helpful
Yes I agree, this would be a very useful tool for art and science and absolutely nothing else
I third this motion! What better way to convey the work he is doing then by displaying him doing _hard, physical demanding labor_ 🤤

I'm absolutely not this person, but I just have to point this out. Especially in 2022. And don't get me wrong, not saying that your opinion isn't cool to have. But, if this comment involved any of the female cast members you'd be labeled a problematic misogynist pig for daring to objectify a woman. And I just found the irony worth pointing out. Sorry not sorry.
@@padenbang7375 I’d like to see the female cast sweaty and doing hard labor as well…. For research

Phalinx never fails to deliver, awesome job man keep it up!
Every week man. Thanks!
Phalinx I have to say you missed the moment Vex made the partys jaw drop. Two hours and four minutes.
Phalinx *Forty*
Phalinx Mercer's Cenokir makes me think of Riff Raff.
As an early warning, there will be a slight amount of video skipping and lag for the beginning half of the video. The audio should be ok throughout, but it was something that could not be fixed during the stream, the crew tried the best they could (switching servers, lowering bit rate, etc.).
thanks a lot!
I was watching the stream on both Twitch and Alpha when it was live. Interestingly, although Alpha had a bunch of quality drops that led to reboots, the video never once _froze._ And I'm getting increasingly frustrated over the "we just couldn't fix it" excuses when we now have two versions of each video with very, very different results.
+Page J.
Yea considering there have been more problems since they started dual streaming with alpha, I wonder why.
Seriously, if you know how to fix it, I bet they could use the help. I recommend, if you haven't, go to reddit and read where Lucas talked about their setup for CR and what they do to get ready as well as running it; as well as the the thread talking about the status of GnS where Zac also gave some insight of the inner workings. You could also watch the honesty hour where Lucas came on and talked about issues like this and their set up for the live shows. Pretty interesting and informative. Honestly, it was a twitch issue not on their end.

I think if the audio is fine, that is all that matters. I can handle video lag etc etc, but audio for this kind of thing is a big no no. IMO.
I fucking died when Ashley said "COOTER!" The look on her face was priceless
No it's crate! What's wrong with you?
@@essexfuzz ???
@@jasp3rjeep13 that's what Sam said when Ashley says Cooter...
@@essexfuzz lol my bad. It's been so long since i watched it
They HAVE to animate percy fixing the trebuchet! Those descriptions were too good and I need to see it omg
@@adrienne7794 Hell, I'm going to riot. Percy is friggin' HOT.
I love Sam's reaction to finding the right page in his notes. what I like about dming is that everyone's notes make a great story with different povs.
3:26:09 Liam's ability to stay in character as Laura's picking hair off his face has me laughing much harder than I should be at something so mundane yet adorable
3:35:25 Also if anyone wanted a timestamp for the wonderful Perc'ahlia moment this episode, here it is :P
Wow, questionable planning. It’s almost as if, and hear me out on this, they’re not actually seasoned strategists but actors without a script just having fun and doing their best on the fly
Wait...are you sure about that?
It's more like they get extreme anxiety from the battles and they're delaying the fight by planning.
Mystery Face X I don’t see how the two are mutually exclusive
Yeah most play D&D like this and their fooling themselves if they think they don’t.
Wait... wait.... wait.... you mean all those strangers on the internet were lying to me?
I'm just commenting on how perfect the con saves were when they entered the city. Vax and Keyleth both have connections to various forms of protection, beyond their fire resistance things, so they're completely fine. Grog grew up in harsh environments, so he can weather it easily. Vex and Percy take it, albeit uncomfortably, and the gnomes both barely skin by, one because of beauty coming at a price of fragility and the other because wearing plate armour is like being cooked alive at those temperatures.
Watch Matt's face and body language once he starts describing the party noticing the slaves and suffering from the heat. There is already a hint of Senokir in there and I know he made him up on the spot but I like to think that about that time he was working on an image of the scenery, the general feel of the place and that it seeped into the creation of the NPC.
Also, again, the bard with the clutch saves the day... jfc Scanlan I was on the edge of my seat.
When Matt does Cenokir, he hardly blinks... Sends chills down my spine watching him. (in a disturbing yet delightful way)
Matt avoiding saying “It’s high noon” is hilarious
Probably at this point in time, he's said it so much for fans at conventions, and didnt want to say it in front of his friends because he knew they'd tease him.... but ultimately it failed lololol
I saw that Ashley was there and I literally waved at her. The eff has this show done to me.
You put loot in a crate. Seriously Ashley...
cooter
I died lol that shit was so funny.
Lol Sam planned that and it was glorious.
Oh my, laughed too hard!
Loot in crates, what a novel concept
500 likes! That was some seriously funny shit
Horn sounds are Mercer's bane. haha.
Monica Nguyen that and conjugation spells
Conjuration*
HeartBeat thanks dyslexia sucks
funny fact: Conjugation is a word for sex
And sigils
"The city is at a constant like, 110°-120°." So just your average summer in Phoenix?
basically yeah.
*cries in celsius*
Kelvin
The Stern General: “She’s slowly eyeing you group to group, giving you a read” Keyleth: *smiles and Waves*
Aww 😅
Vax: "I've got a bad feeling about this whole mission. I don't think we should even be here." Also Vax: "Let's follow these shady looking strangers who have invited us to follow them to an unknown location."
Vax is a mess.
If only someone in the party had the smarts of child John Mulaney

Mercer going full Tranquil from DragonAge...love it.
I swear to Grog, I can see Travis's beard growing back in realtime during this session.
The part where scanlan just screams kill him kill him now kill him ! Had my crying.
i respect ashley's commitment to the bit
Marisha: "I'm gonna talk to Vex as soon as we have a hot secod"
You're in the Fire Plane! Every second is hot there! Lol
I’m glad someone else appreciated the pun!
"Fuckin' Scanlan..." - Matthew Mercer, realizing the monster he created when he gave Sam that hand-cone.
3:07:10 "I'm not going to say it..." "It's FULLLL sunlight."
"It's Lunch time"
Percy: "I've got a good idea..." *proceeds with something that assumes 12 different arbitrary things*
Matt: *looks to another character that actually specializes in the topic percy is rambling about* "You know from personal experience that that was bullshit."
it's still adorable that they all hold hands any time they plane shift. my heart.
Oh snap y’all. This is the episode Laura learns about the Sending spell.
When the general said, "I've been under him for 15 years." Laura nods while Taliesin, Sam and Ashley shakes their head lol.
I always get happier when I see Ashley, idk why
Also, crate and cooter; both synonyms for box. *The more you know*
Because she’s the best? I don’t understand the question. 😅
She's adorable, and also the party is less likely to die.
It’s also always clear how excited Ashley is to be there and how excited everyone is to have her there
Literally shouted in alarm when Scanlan offered to create a soup kitchen
Yeah, all I could think of was "Scanlan's magnificent soup kitchen" as a new spell to add in my game. :P
@@jesterericv2 Scanlan's superb soupery, just to keep the alliterations.
Scanlan: "Stanley, invisible!"
(Goristro demon illusion poofs away)
Vex: "Scanlan, I think you left a little bit of Scry on the ground there."
Scanlan: "Just get in the city and find me some new pants."
"You can reply to this message"
Only Sam can take shirt-ception into absurdly epic levels.
I can't believe Matt actually got Vox Machina into chains, and they did it willingly! lol
Really? Cause they chose Option 2 (Slavery) with the Dragonborn (Ravenites) when they first went to the ruined Draconia, even BEFORE they knew what Option 2 was.
@@Altyrell
That was just rhetoric by Vex. (A quite funny display). They didn't get into chains there or any other kind of actual slavery.
If you're here to understand the horn reference from C2E41, timestamp is 27:33 to 28:33
You're welcome.
"Lord Ukurat and the Werewolves" would be an awesome band name.
46:20 - Best moment ever. An interrupted montage....
3:35:23 Percy is certainly thinking of something
3:43:48 Percy loses his faith in humanity. Aka: Finding out your quasi-girlfriend is way too kinky for you.
The amount of happiness I got from seeing the costume of Vax tugging his cloak rack behind him . . .
Y’all have been in the City of Brass for fifteen minutes and you’re already getting enslaved.
Was totally expecting Matt to have that NPC say after clapping them in irons "now, it puts the lotion on its skin"
"Or else it gets the hose again"
