Ashley: Is doing job
Critical Role: Has party member die
Ashley: *"My people need me"*
Ashley: *is probably asleep because the stream went on past midnight*
Vax: *dies*
Ashley: *wakes up in a cold sweat* Something’s wrong!
@@jtroxler8 IIRC when Percy died Laura got a call from Ashley almost immediately asking if Pike could somehow be bamfed over to the island where he got killed.
Christopher Bacon exactly. She’s got a sixth sense for this kinda stuff.
@@jtroxler8 Laura (after the show): Ashley? I thought you were in New York?
Ashley: I teleported:
Laura: I don't mean Pike. I mean...
Ashley: I teleported. My work here is done. (Vanishes in a flash of light)
You know a show is special when you tear up at hearing "the golden astral form of Pike...." and that's pretty much all you need
Grog: I would like to intimidate the corpse
Vex: I would like to HAGGLE WITH DEATH
so PERFECTLY in character
@@georgeweasley54 and what would you do for your twin?
@@josephmartin2536 He'd probably give him an earful...i'll let myself out
That's a couple that gets things DONE
Go with your skillset
Headcanon: Vex's lifelong obsession with flying is rooted in her memories of playing "airship" with Vax.
Cries even more reading this comment while Vex reads the note
ADORABLE
Oh, you just fucked me up. Well played.
@@JA-jk9uf Well, you just fucked me up even more. What is this?
"I wanna play airplanes.... I wanna play airplanes! I wanna reach out and fly..." - Fun Home
"I could tell by their bone structure and contempt."
*WHEEZING*
how does he do it :D
@@CalderaXII Truly just genius
One of the best one liners ever
Ashley apologizing for dragging out the flashcard scene.... She is so adorable, not even realizing she, Sam and Matt just created one of the best moments of the campaign.
I was still laughing tears after it was long over.
Absolutely. I almost never laugh during these shows, or any media to be fair, but man, I was buckling over in laughter xD
Not just Matt and Sam. Ashley was wonderful in this scene aswell. Wish she'd be on the show more often.
Ash is always away but somehow, when she is present. She has the best interaction and moments. Some of the most memorable
@@Hoovt ashely is included in the original comment :) "she, Sam and Matt just created" - don't worry. she gets proper credit, as she deserves :)
@@cashmerenerd Just the part where she helped create this masterpiece I feel was left out. I know he did mention her.
42:00 Vex'ahlia finds a label in the armor with the caption "property of the raven queen. Do not wash at high temperature. Do not iron. Do not resuscitate."
Oh my, as someone with medical training, a DNR... that changes things
@@xEvilRaptorx Active ward care only not for resus! Get off that chest 💪
ashley: *sitting on the set of blindspot*
*bat-signal-esque projection in the shape of pike's holy symbol appears in the sky*
ashley: *swings a mace that came from nowhere over her shoulder, her hair blowing in the wind*
i must go. my people need me.
"How does he walk?"
"With confidence and pride"
Yet another underrated Taleisin one liner!
"In my old room" is my favorite.
Travis had a great sneaky line in there too:
"Pick a leg"
@@Reblwitoutacause I noticed Laura nodding when Sam said 'I've been calling him Jumbo or Big Guy' xD
...Did Grog just Intimidate someone back to life?
Phantomdemon2 well. Think of it this way. He is a great sorcerer. And if you can scare someone to death, then surely a great sorcerer like Grog, can scare someone to life.
It was amazing. I was expecting it and it was delivered!
Hella late to the thread, but it reminds me of Avenger's when Hulk screamed at Iron Man shocking him back to life
I found it especially funny after the "spousal abuse" look he had in the beginning when Laura smacked for trying to steal her doughnuts
@@singingwolf3929 If he didn't scare someone alive here, he for sure did during the Search for Bob.
I love the way travis plays grog. The big guy who will stare down anything and everything in combat, put in front of pike and he is the biggest marshmallow. It's adorable.
It's so freaking adorable, yeah. The whole set up is so awesome; Goliath and Gnome besties.
Well yeah...pike is grogg's big sister kinda
He wants that gnome puss
1:50:27 The part about "I owe you one" and the resolution with the skipping rock... Brillant! So awesome!
moments like 53:00 are my favorite version of that. "I got 'im"...just so soft and caring when the others can't be; 'guys, i've got this, put away the doubt.' He's so certain; not always right, but damn is he certain. Just like how he was certain they would save Scanlan and just shouted 'Fix him.'
Serenrae: My strength fades, you have but minutes.
*Pike sets up the Flashcards*
Serenrae: Oh, I've got to see this, have an extra couple of hours.
I love the fact that I saw this comment at the begging of the episode and had the wrong impression of what the flash cards were
Between Grog’s gauntlet’s awakening and Keyleth’s aramente being completed this just goes to show. You always do side quests first.
If they had tried to fight the Kraken earlier it would have been a short campaign
@@SortOfEggish Maybe, but Scanlan would have been there.
Or one good Polymorph from Keyleth.
"It's a goldfish now. Don't hit it. Lodestones."
If there were lair actions there were definitely legendary resistances
i found all 900 pine cones
“We’re not barbaric!” *The barbarian raises his hand*
1:45:35 i know that this is 1 year old or more but i do like when a moment has a timestamp and this moment was missing one so i found it
@@arthaiser Good man!
The fact that Ashley kept a straight face through most of the flash card session... holy shit...
Pro actress! That's why she gets paid those NBC bucks!
Mama Pike!
@MasterOfBaguettes I did cry! And rewound, and nearly peed myself laughing, and rewound again!
In this episode of Critical Role, we learn that Ashley Johnson has a really, *really* good pokerface.
Her comedy chops are superb, and I'm kicking myself now for not appreciating her nearly enough for a long time. Completely in love with how she gets to flex in campaign 3, playing a fey creature who is all about the subtly chaotic/absurdist shenanigans.
It was you might say, a blindspot you had about her?
Matt going bright fucking red in trying to remotely keep it together during the flashcard bit is just the best
Came looking for this comment
And that brief moment when the *next* flash card came up, and the party just stares at him
You could tell the moment he realized "Oh right. Of course. They're waiting for the next ridiculous description."
"What have I done?"
I re watched that scene a few times
Once just to watch MM the whole time
Watching Matt during the flashcards is my favorite part.
Pike uses midjourney (then known by the working title “dotydraws”) to commission character portraits. 😂
"Doty she said realism"
*Doty nods*
"Really?"
best part
Alessandro S I’m glad frogs size is canon
@@NateDeckerTV frog strongleap, the greatest of fox machina
@@jonahgreallyryan4249 I was drinking while reading this, thanks for making me have to clean ginger ale off my couch!
the whole flashcard scene was amazing but yeah, that took the cake
@@jonahgreallyryan4249 i fucking spit when i read that
“I think I’ve learned something from being close to death”
“Wot?”
“... That’s fair.”
it's my headcanon that Percy got into braiding and beading so he could do Vex's hair in case Vax can't
As if I needed any more reasons to cry, thank you
I wonder who taught him, maybe he asked Cassandra to and it was also a nice sibling bonding time for them
Pike urging Terry to explore the group sexually is probably the funniest D&D moment I've witnessed so far.
I was just waiting for her to answer his hierarchy question with 'well we tend to start with Grog' or something, woulda been hilarious 😂
If there's anything the flashcards prove, Grog is a good starting point.
@@wadeking4054 I think you'd probably need to work your way up to grog.... loosen up, so to speak.
@@nukm4 Bruh lol
@@nukm4 bruh 😂
Pike leaves Tarry's office after spending some hours making up bullshit and telling it to him as facts. She looks down and notices a crack forming in her holy symbol. She looks up and raises a brow, points at the door. "I mean, come on."
The crack mends itself.
Sam connecting Taryon with Scanlon... Dude's a genius.
Adam Martinez I LOVED that. How fun, how clever! It’s nice that they’re peppering him in once in a while.
Also that means Scanlan had been to Wildemount way before VM went to Draconia
I missed that. How did Sam tie the two together?
Michael MacDonald watch from 1:13:55 (he’s not mentioned by name but it’s alluded to)
@@pagenein now the question is how far has he traveled
2:17:08
Taryon “Do what ever the young lady asks”
Pike “Don’t follow orders from taryon anymore“
And that’s how you get yourself a robot
Thats a catch 22 right there
Love the profile pic, been running a rime game for 2 years now!
Sam incorporating Scanlan into his other character’s backstory is amazing
We all know, like we KNOW that is whats happening, but it sure would have been fun if Sam had intentionally led us on silently knowing it wasn't Scanlan, and had just happened to be a coincidence that there was another gnome of similar attitude around at the time.
Not as amazing as the fact that Scanlan canonically has been shitting in beds for 15 years.
You cant *know* that it's Scanlan... coulda been anyone.
@@uli11 this comment is over 3 years old and I have no idea what it’s referring to, but thanks for your insight.
@@deamon506 oh hello recent person. funny seeing you here.
“Be what you wish...” “I turn into a beholder.”
Oh Keyleth. Never change. 😂
I love it XD
When did that happen I think I missed it
@@TheReaver1234 2:00:05 (I used the timestamp for when that whole shapechange thing started, because it's so darn cool ;D)
1:41:32 "long may you reign"
somewhere in wildemount mollymauk sneezes
His nose starts bleeding and his swords light up, but he has no clue why
It hits differently
Knowing that Molly isn't even Molly at this point and is some dude named Lucien makes it even better.
@@lerinn2783 hopfully we get to find out something abou that in the future. Would be a shame to not explore it.
I think Lucien was still a teenager when all these happened.
"have a skipping rock..."
Travis: "OooooOOOOooooh!" The genuine simple joy that Travis brings with Grog is so pure.
Ashley, regarding going over the picture flashcards: I'm sorry that took longer than expected.
Matthew, the entire cast, every Critter on the planet: No! Please! That was so beautiful and we want more!
Haven't seen Matt laugh this hard since Pike taught Grog how to read
I don't know, the bath bit from Ep 81 was also hilarious.
When was that?
@@csarmii If memory serves me right, it was after they defeated either Thordak or Raishan and went back to Whitestone.
@@csarmii like 4 episodes ago...
It’s the Ashley Johnson effect
TARY COMES FROM A MOB FAMILY THAT'S WHY HE ONLY LEARNS THE NAMES OF PEOPLE HE CARES ABOUT BECAUSE MOBSTERS HAVE NICKNAMES
It is safer you don't know too many details
Technically, at least as of the beginning of this episode, Percy is the only one who's introduced himself to Taryon.
Dedalus94 No, Vax has introduced himself and Vex.
The second he said "My father has a friend named Dog who just holds people until they want to tell us what we want." or "Why don't we just pour acid on him if we want to ask him questions, it's much faster". Etc etc. It's 100% clear that his family is evil mafia shitheads since his second episode apearance.
Fisho D Dog was definitely a reference to the Hound from Game of Thrones, Taryon is pretty obviously partly inspired by Tyrion Lannister.
Bringing it up top for the 2024 gang
bump
Bumb
The whole scene with Ashley/Pike going through the drawings with Sam/Taryon is easily the most hilarious moment in this campaign so far. Watching everyone, including Matt, double over and turn red from laughter is so damn infectious. I have rewatched the whole thing 8 times already and will probably do so many more times.
The hallmark of the really top-tier moments, I find, is when I absolutely have to rewind once for every cast member's reaction (at minimum).
it's up there with the return of victor for me. really any moment that makes liam disappear is pretty fantastic
Or even the Cannon ball Scene in the Mansion
2:21:39 yess favorite moment so far
"Dotty, I said realism" *Dotty nods* "Wait, you mean... WOAH"
Senor Taco Grog Strongdong
Timestamp? 😂😂😂😂😂
i think about 2:23:01. might be mistaken.
actually, it's 2:30:48. sorry.
"it's Doty"
Jesus christ the tone shift in this episode, from trying to bring vax back to....flashcards
92NUKE Cows And consequences vibes....
Vox Machina in a sentence
I kinda love that about critical role
good intense RP is always followed up by A good comedic rp.
Marisha modifying her spell so she can turn into a giant Raven for the sake of style is perfect, something I would 100% do.
When Grog intimidated Vax back to life that was basically the same situation as Hulk and Iron Man in Avengers. An that is how I imagined the whole scene.
I picture Carbot's Diablo II barbarian rage shouting at the corpse until it gets back up (and also spills loot).
Pike: "I would never tell you no..."
Everyone: o_O
Laura's face with that was priceless
Somewhere in Exandria, Scanlan Shorthalt learned to rage...
@@RenatoGPadilla A gnome bardbarian could be amazing.
Ashley said that literally right as I read this comment
@@coreygauthreaux2547 considering this used to be a Pathfinder game, he could have easily been a Skald.
"Doty...draw us like one of your elf girls."
DoughyInTheMiddle fancy elf girl...that's gold!
Omg... I read that as "... one of your *night* elf girls" and as a World of Warcraft player it is SO TRUE
HAHAHAHAA
Barely survives a Kraken. Promises to defeat a demon lord. "Ummm, aaah, not sure that's a promise you can keep little elf girl" Raven Queen.
As someone who started with s2, I was not prepared to hear Percy say “long may he reign”
I was searching for this comment!
Same
It hit deep.
So true
As someone who has not watched c2 I shall either keep this in mind and or would love a bit of context
1st half of the episode: crying
2nd half: almost rolling off my bed laughing
Like a reverse musical
That makes this eppisode so good
I was also crying with laughter during Sam's Loot Crate "challenge", so this episode really was an emotional rollercoaster
@@ijustdontcare that was the best damn thing :D ever!
1st half: crying
2nd half: crying
I love Matt's description of the Raven Queen as something so large and omnipresent as a god, but then becomes small and caring as the human she once was.
When was she presented as a human?
@@itsyaboy9829 literally every single time she manifests she shrinks down into her humanoid form during communion with Vax.
@@itsyaboy9829 that's also her origin. She started as a human follower of the previous god of death and took over from him.
@@arjay1016 oh! Didn't know that. Good to know, thanks.
@@itsyaboy9829 watch the calamity in critical roles playlists. marisha plays the character that becomes the raven queen. lots of back story and lore to learn from the series not to mention the stellar dungeon mastering done by brennan lee mulligan
“You know I’m in love with you, right?”
This is what Vax said to Keyleth before he kissed her for the first time.
“And besides. You know I’m in love with you, right?” 😭😭😭
That’s what he said, right before they first, first kissed. All that time ago.
What an episode
Plus the recall to her hand print on his back from removing of the clasp symbol. Also great.
@@isaac8734 giving him a light in the darkness he thought he deserved because of his upbringing. Those two dorks (PCs) don't realize how brave they actually are.
I love the part of the comment section where people aren’t hating on keyleth
@@ryankelly3465 facts
@@ryankelly3465 Shhhhhhh! You’ll summon them!
Looking forward to the moment that Teryon realizes that he never told Doty to stop taking orders from Pike. May that moment be as hilarious as the flash card moments.
I take it you're still catching up?
Ariaflame Yes I am. Going as fast as I can.
There was a hint to it during the flashcard secuence, when he was about to tell Doty to write the names for him, Pike said "no" and Doty stopped.
That would require Ashley to remember this....I'd be surprised if she does.
"Can you, in this form, see me all the time?"
"Yes... So I will know."
Pike is either Jesus, or Santa Claus.
Mercer has such an adorable, child-like laugh, I love Liam's physicality to laughter (often disappearing from our view), but Taliesin's laugh penetrates all other sound and it is
Sam damn near killed Liam during the flashcard scene
I think he almost did a tpk....
I always love watching Liam during bits like that and when characters like Victor show up, partly because what's usually mopey Vax is now the much less mopey Liam almost falling out of his chair
Nah... look at Matt just as Sam says "now that I'm a full fledged member." I think he is about to blow a blood vessel!
Ahhhh Sam Reigel, keeping PolyMachina alive and well... and occasionally breaking Matt Mercer
prideling I died of laughter as Matt died of this awesome scene.
only 4 minutes in. Laura's "SAMUEL!" in a momly, scolding tone will forever be in my memory 😂
The fact Matt was even dying with his bright red face at Tary asking if he could “mingle” with the group just made it all the better 2:29:25
Marisha: "I'm a golden god."
*Gravity will remember this.*
*Looks at episode number* Soon...
damnnnnn hahahahah that'll e hillarious
Yup, this right here... epic.
I'm am not sure about this, but that could've been a reference to It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia...
It's a quote from Almost Famous.
One of the rockstars that the lead character is touring with so he can write about them gets really high & stands on a roof to say that sentence to the whole party.
"You dock at the city of Emond"
Keyleth : "I want to turn into a dragon."
“After trading some tales about a few interesting at sea endeavors you guys get along swimmingly”
HOW DID NOBODY CATCH THIS???
He also said smth like "they're sarcastic and salty" right before that and i laughed so hard! Genuinely surprised no one caught on to so many puns
trying to bring it back up for 2021 :)

"Bone Structure and Contempt" XD
I'm just waiting for the day when Pike's mom look results in a "roll for intimidation."
Matt Snyder I mean during the fight against Umbrasyl she pulled that off without a roll.
Pike's mom look auto succeed, no roll needed
2:29:21 “Now that I’m a full-fledged member…”
I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen Matt laugh harder!
I think my favorite running gag is everytime Tary speaks Percy just mumbles his disagreement
i loved Matt fistbumping the air and not making Pike roll a deception check even tho she was lying bc he loved the scene so much LMFAO
Man this is like the third time Ashley's come back just in time to perform a Resurrection on these guys. XD There's the secret to getting Ashley back on the show, kill somebody. XD
Phantomskyler I wonder how many people are now plotting Keyleth's death...
Oh her death cometh
"MOOOOM we lost one again!"
@@chrisparker6517 She's been dead before. She used to have dark hair. Though the funniest thing is that she switched to War Domain and, despite Keyleth having healing spells and a more steady availability, is still the de facto party healer.
Didn't work in C2, but then again, she wasn't a cleric then.
2:01:57 "You watch as the beholder that's looking around excitedly..."
I image Keyleth as a chibi style, up-side down curves for eyes, with the "Christmas came early" expression somehow ending up being a really cute beholder.
Mee too
I imagined her accidentally petrifying, like, three people. 😂
Okay, I just need to say, that Ashley and Sam are just the perfect combination, all their interactions are just gold. Pike teaching Tary the names of Vox Machina was just as hilarious as the Scene between Pike and Scanlan after he proposed to her. I couldn't breath.
Ashely "This is Vex, She and Vax are twin brother and Sister."
Sam "I could tell by the bone structure... and the contempt!"
Mama Ashely is here to school you boiiiiii!
"... I will know when you're not looking at your flashcards." Gotta love momma Pike.
Book Opens, Vox Machina starts hearing bagpipes. A vision of Scanlan fills the room as he begins singing, "Never gonna give you up...."
Me crying hard over Vax's ritual, and then dying with laughing over the Pike and Tary flashcard scene, is one of the many reasons why I love this show so much. The aggressive tone shifts.
Pike: You know Vax and Vex are twin brother and sister?
Tary: I could tell by the bone structure, and contempt.
SOLID GOLD!
Imagine if the rest of VM came across the flashcards; out of context, with something written in gnomish that they can't read.
HAHA HAHA
'Oh shit, we adopted another Garmelie?'
Well the best part is he wrote Percy’s name abbreviated in Common, so with a high enough Intelligence check they could probably figure it out!
Omg
"The whole interior begins to shine in her presence" - describes pike and Ashley Johnson perfectly, love having both her and Sam on, they bring out the best in the group
Tyrian: “How does he walk”
Grog: “Pick a leg”
The flash cards were one of my favorite parts of this campaign.
I liked the with confidence and pride from Taliesin😂
Travis’ reaction to keyleth’s transformation is the best
Anyone else think it's really sad that when Grog thought he destroyed Pike at 2:38:05 he immediately tried to choke himself to death? It was funny as hell but also sad when I thought about it.
yeah that wen't dark real fast. If he ever were to be responsible for Pike's death well Grog would have ended it right there.
I was watching that part right at the time I read your comment, scary!
I can imagine Grog saying "if anything ever happens to Pike I'll kill all of you then myself"
@@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human random criminal: *kills pike in front of grog and starts pulling her body away*
Same criminal: ….why do I hear thunderous footsteps boss music?
Grog: *approaches with an almost sadistic rage filled look in his eyes*
@@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human in the last talks Ashley said had grog died to the krak pike would travel and get stronger until she can cast true resurrection go back and kill it and bring grog back.
Grog and pike would fight through all the demons in hell to get the other. So if one caused the death of the other I can imagine it going poorly
Travis is the best roleplayer ever. Takes talent to play a convincing dummy when the person playing the role is anything but.
Not to mention how he manages to play the fool and still carry the party as some points!
I'm just starting my first d&d game and I have a low intelligence so it will be interesting
It's very interesting and sometimes very irritating to many people, that individuals coming from unusual backgrounds can often offer more. After all RP is acting and acting relies heavily on real world experience. Now if you can couple that with the traits a hard working professional acquires and the love for what you do and you got talent. Travis, Sam and Matt are all excellent examples of that.
Its harder to play an intelligent role when in real life your anything but. Lmao
Liquid Zen No comment.
nearly died of shock when Taliesin said "long may he reign" but that's fine
Same
Right?!
Me too.
Why is it Grog's pleas to his dead party members that always get to me?! Travis' RP is always SO GOOD
Goddamn, Matt totally fucked me up with his foley for the pencil sounds when Doty was writing.
Generally I listen to the stream while doing other things, but as I heard the pencil scratches my first thought was, "Wow, Matt has audio recordings to play while Doty writes". I look up and HES FUCKING MAKING THE SOUNDS WITH HIS MOUTH GODDAMN MERCER IS AMAZING.
spacecowboy2606 IT'S SO GOOD! That sound effect is so flawless!!! I was stunned.
Timestamp?
I thought it was Liam scratching under the table at first then I noticed Matt's mouth.
"take these wings and fly" Now im crying.
Dude hearing Taliesin say “long may he reign” in this episode after having watched the mighty nein gave me a freaking heart attack
I love how Ashley literally _always_ manages to make it to an episode proceeding one where a party member has died. She never fails.xD
Liam pinching his brow during Sam's Lootcrate ad, but still defending him with the "real art makes you uncomfortable and challenges you," is big husband vibes.
Whenever a member of Vox Machina goes down:
Vex: Quick, light the Pike Signal!
Pike:My people need me!(Starts running.)
Vox Machina: lights the Pike signal
Pike: runs, breaks stealth
A cleric is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he is needed to.
@@alexv3357 CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG
takes 10 turns getting close enough with her tiny gnome legs
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA PIKE!
Also love how Tary can remember Percy's full name, but not "Grog" or "Vax" XD
Well it might benefit him in the long run to be friendly with a member of the upper crust lol
They've got that science nerd bromance going 😊😊
I think you mean Vex. Vax is the brother😉
Percy's name is just more memorable thaan Greg and Vox
Grog's anguished scream when he thinks he killed Pike is just the most terrifying sound I've heard him make in 89 episodes
The flash card scene was one of the best things I’ve ever seen. Everyone loved it and you could tell that towards the end they broke Matt and that’s pretty hard to do, but we can always count on Sam to break him. I just have to say that the flash card scene was amazing and I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time.
One thing that always kills me, the “how does he walk?”
That means that, as huge as Grog is, his equipment is proportionally large even for his size. What kind of monster is he hiding down there? And how much does he have to pay the ladies of pleasure to handle it?
@@Ajehy "how does he walk?"
Taliesin: "With confidence and pride!"
@@psychodrummer1567 This comment made me realize how glad I am Sam's new character is besties with Taliesin's. The two best senses of humor, together at last.
I hadn’t gotten to this point when I saw this comment and all I saw was ‘flash cards’ and wasn’t sure what this meant. I wasn’t disappointed when I got to the scene. 😂
Oh mama Pike! She was so good.
Tary may not have been what the group wanted, but he was definitely what they needed.
Sam created a character who deals nothing but low blows to almost every VM member.
He confronts them with their flaws as players and as characters.
Many things he accused them of as Scanlan, before he left the party is now embodied in Tary. He confronts them with their flaws.
He claims to have all the money and riches that Vex always seemed to want. And he flaunts it around, teasing her.
He has Doty, which is also a perfect dig at Vex and her understandable obsession with Trinket as well as a dig at Percy, who prouds himself as a genius in tinkering.
Speaking of: by being a kind of tinkerer with Doty, whether or not he actually built him himself, he takes away a part of Percy's uniqueness in the group. Taliesin reacts perfectly as a player and turns this kind of insulting situation into a nerdy friendship.
He points out Keyleth as the glorious leader of the group. Something she was struggling with all the time, which is why everyone in the chat is uncomfortable with her most of the time.
It's hilarious for Sam doing it, but it works well with Tarys kind of douchebag character.
He is completely disinterested with Vax or "little elf boy", he tries
not (yet at least) to engage in serious emotional situations, because that was always a strong connecting point for Vax to the other characters.
It's like he's telling him: no one cares about your emo shit.
He is not too harsh against Grog yet, but its easy to make fun of the Intelligence of 6 Barb. And Travis plays Grog so well, that Grog takes no offense in it, often not realizing it being offensive in the first place.
So what Sam is doing is maybe uncomfortable, but brilliant.
@@kezrah_shieldwall Tary is the perfect substitute for Scanlan being absent for a while, by no means a replacement but a welcome extended guest
Between Ashley's Pike disappearing for weeks at a time... and the dismissal of Orion's Tiberius...
The party balance is dangerously out of whack. No cleric and no legitimate caster... o_O
I get the feeling that was the whole point of him
Seeing Percy apologize to Grog about him using Friends somehow reminded me of their convo in the episode when Scanlan leaves. Percy telling Grog that he reminded him of his older brother warmed my heart. And so did that scene, so sweet
Ashley Johnson does such a great job with Pike. She and Grog are besties, and the things that Pike says that can be interpreted as condescending, but they totally come off as completely genuine. She's an amazing component of the team and I love when she's playing.
Grog has the best moments during the resurrection rituals! Hands down
Also, Sam is a genius...incorporating Scanlan into his back story without mentioning him, turn a moment where the group was laughing at him to one where their jaws dropped. He's just on another level. So so good!
Sam crushes it again. “Greg, Box and Box, Kiko, and Perceval “
He says “Vox” not box btw, Vox Vax Vex, too many three letter words beginning with V and ending with X
Don't forget their paladin gnome companion, Pork.
When Tary started describing Scanlan I straight up lost my mind. That was such a genius moment from Sam.
trying to bring it back up for 2023 :)

Hey, it was me :) ! Glad people are still using it years later lol
Matthew fucking Mercer and his ability to do voices and sounds. I thought that writing sound was the ambiance?!
Wish I had half his talent
2:26:16 can we just appreciate how Matt just deemed Vex the top?
2 years late but that makes sense considering how she greeted Percy buck naked a few episodes ago
@@strifenineteen Yeah, but one can't forget that Percy went there for that very reason, Vex just anticipated and cut to the chase. Considering how their dynamic and other sexual encounters are handled from then on, I think it's pretty clear that they're both proper switches, which is why they clearly have some crazy sexual chemistry - they perfectly adapt and roll with each other by taking and relinquishing control in the moment.
I love Tary. He’s such a good “this is normal for you people?!” Type
Matt's writing sounds for Doty are so good I thought he was actually writing.
Matt's writing sounds are literally incredible. If I wasn't watching him do it I'd think they just edited it in or something, it sounds so real
Vax: "You can have my old room."
Taryon: "Where will you sleep?"
Percy: "In my old room."
Best "Yes, and"ing on this show so far.
I legit don't understand what it mean or what i miss to make it funny
@@Natshuri Vax was implying he didnt need his room because he'd be with Keyleth. Percy one upped him by implying he'd be sleeping with Vex.
@@phffffbt oh right ! thank you
Percy interjecting Tary's self-aggrandizing speeches with low, 2 worded sentences is the fucking best 😂😂
All gnomes know each other? That must mean that the gnome community is very... small!
...... I'll go home......
here's your coat
Gnome. You'll go gnome.
tyresw Once you go gnome, you can't go home.
Go big or go gnome.
Raving Dovah Master Wow. That took me way to long to realize what you said. Ughhhhh!
