      @@skullsquad900 I think that this being his first campaign and him stating on talks that he doesnt read the players handbook beyond his character abilities helps with that. Those people that have been playing for a long time and know lore and monsters like the back of their hand that turn out to be rules lawyers seem to be the problem. While Travis is literally in the dark to everything besides his character which aids him in being the player he is.

    I keep putting off watching more of this campaign. Whenever I start something long like this, it's new and there's so much to do, but... it's almost over. I know Campaign 2 is on the horizon, and Campaign 3 is taking place even now, but... Vox Machina has my heart. I've laughed, cried, cheered and mourned with them. I've watched with delight as Vex and Percy go from allies to lovers. I've felt the turmoil of Keyleth and Vax's relationship. I've felt and reacted to the drama of this crazy band of lovable idiots as if I'm standing right there with them. I've silently urged our friends through the Underdark, through the Briarwoods, through the conflict against the Chroma Conclave, through the pits of the Hells and now, soon, I'll have to say goodbye.

      You'd be amazed how well it actually works on most folks. In one of my games I had a villain's escape tunnel equipped with fake doors and chests that were armed with explosive runes and other nasty traps. The party very nearly TPK'd itself trying to loot the chests, and the villain was successful in escaping. Greed can be wonderfully potent bait when it comes to adventuring parties. ;)

      While this was meant as a funny joke. Because craven edge is a magical sentient talking weapon. Basically something close to an artifact I think it could easily change forms depending on what the wielder needed so craven sledge could very much be a point but still mostly doing bludgeoning damage sledge hammer of destruction.

      @@MorinehtarTheBlue Frodo had the ring many months already, if not a more than a year. He could no longer resist the temptation, and that's why he didn't destroy it when they were at Mount Doom. Without the final fight with Gollum, Frodo would escape Mount Doom, be inmediately found by the Nazgul, get killed/transformed into a Nazgul, and Sauron would get back in power. This is very obvious, that's why Gollum got saved so many times, so he can be the catalyst for the destruction of the Ring. The book and the movie makes it a point to say so several times.
      As for the rest people wearing the Ring, who knows. People strong enough would probably resist Sauron for a long time, but the theme is that the Ring (and therefore Sauron) always ends up corrupting the individual to their core.

    That moment that you realize that the Dwarven Adamantine Warhammer is a method devised by Matt to drain ONLY Grog's resources, without risking a TPK to the rest of the party. Grog needs to feel the squeeze too, and this way its not because of a dangerous monster that might kill the rest of the party, but only to him.

Then begin a slow dungeon crawl not leaving any stone unturned and burn a heap of spell slots on their way up the titan.

Grog is pulled into the air and begins to glow as his sight suddenly shifts to the eyes of the Titan. The Titan is partially revived and Grog is controlling its body. Grog, as the titan throws Thar Imfala(sp?) To the ground and begins to pummel it while shouting, "STRONGJAW!!!"
      Cut back to the battle at Vassleheim and the entire council looks on in baffled horror and amusement. "Vox Machina..." one of them whispers.

      @@GrayEmbry That's my point. Regurlarly rolling 10 or so higher than the "nearly impossible" DC level is basically getting into the area of doing the impossible. Impossible even for exceptional people, which just goes to show that these people are beyond exceptional. And thus, what would be impossible feats for merely above average mortals become just difficult for them. Hence why I pointed out him being "fate-touched." Because it's that higher level of extraordinary-ness that enables him to go well beyond nearly impossible and do what is effectively impossible for the vast majority of people, even really skilled ones. It actually lends some justification to Keyleth's hubris that led to the goldfish incident. :P

      Cameron Neveu oh you can't catch up unless you pay for alpha, as alpha has the next three weeks of episodes on it, meaning we're always 4 weeks behind the show

    The most incredible thing about Critical Role is that Matt can withstand his urge to talk about Akira every once in a while. Hombre loves that movie.

    I ordered the first two series of VM's backstory comics, like, literally yesterday and if Amazon isn't lying it'll be here in 3 days and I'm so unreasonably exited, it's not even funny. My mom is into CR too and I'm gonna surprise her with it and I can't wait.

    A nice reminder in this one that Percival is an extraordinary human being, but still a human being who's greatest strength is in his tools. Basically Percy is Batman.

      Well, his tools and his brain, but yeah. Percy's always struck me as a cross between Batman and The Doctor. Batman's backstory with the personality of a young Doctor. His TLOVM design even looks like the Tenth Doctor.
      On the Batman note, with as much as he uses those Spider Climb boots to get elevated perches, I'm surprised he hasn't tinkered some kind of grapple-hook device to pair with them for quick, safe descents. There've been a few situations where one would have been useful.
