    Listen to the Critical Role podcast: goo.gl/jVwPBr
    Vox Machina struggles to survive after their battle with the Duergar King and Queen, our heroes broken and battered. Tiberius and Lady Kima turned to stone, and Vax’ildan and Scanlon badly wounded, the party flees the Duergar keep, not knowing where the Sorceress Queen Ulara has stolen off to with their Goliath companion. Realizing how far they’ve pushed themselves, they seek respite in the shadows and thankfully cure their stony friends with the blessings of the goddess, Sarenrae (tenuous though they may be). Relying on Vex’ahlia’s knowledge of the underdark and her knack for tracking her prey, the weary travelers press on into the deep. They come across yet another abomination in the dark, and battle the queer creature in a sea of bone and glass, Percy felling it with a thunderous crash from Bad News. Finally leaving the wretch behind them, they spy a fire twinkling in the distance...

    Here's a little story for you. After watching Critical Role a few times I picked up the 5e phb, my first rpg in around 30 years, and dm'd a homebrew adventure for my 4 kids and wife, using Mercer's style. We only stopped after 5 hours. 5 hours of quality family time, during which I took them all from a shipwreck equipped only with rags to the brink of death multiple times in intense encounters. My 6 yr old paladin eventually found his courage, wearing ringmail and armed with a javelin, leaping forward at a direwolf to protect his family. My 12 yr old wizard found a spellbook covered in fur suspiciously like our pet dog, that clung to his head with 10 tiny pink arm/legs. A giant eagle almost killed the entire party using hit and fly tactics before they had found missile weapons, but my 8 yr old cast entangle to hold it down. My wife couldn't believe how amazing it was. Thank you Critical Role!

      @@rishavchakravarty3577 my thoughts too, to point I went back and re-watched the end of Episode 7 to see. She did her attack then remembered she hadn't moved it to her, and never said she was going to even as her bonus action at the end. Then the queen teleported away, so I don't think the Queen had it on her. Though for purpose of story it worked nice, and it kind of, she forgot to use it before the attack, so maybe idea was that they all thought that she had then put it on after the attack, so let it slide?

      @@rishavchakravarty3577 Oh, I am sure however they did it, he would have told them where she is, by either Hunters Mark or Keyleth using beast things, or Vex being in the underdark, whatever it is, they would have gotten there. I was just curious if she actually had done it. It is a nice touch really. I mean, fairly sure in the escape/damage/sleeping she should count as having lost concentration on the spell, but it makes it more fun for the game to let some things slide. "The Rule of Cool". Game I play in, DM often is willing to allow things for fun, our dual wielding fighter threw two hand axes at once, his argument being if he can fight with two swords equally, why can't he throw two axes. DM found idea fun so went with it. Plus, more fun to just run with these things anyway than totally stick to all rules all the time.

      Except the spell Hunter's Mark doesnt give you some mystical sign in the sky or anything like that. What it does is give you advantage on tracking checks. So she cant just concentrate and point in a direction. She would somehow have to find tracks made by the queen and then follow them. The idea that she knows where she is by mystical feel is a complete misunderstanding of the spell. It also only lasts an hour, not 24 hours. I understand Matt going with the flow for dramatic effect, but thats wildly ignoring the the core rules. =)

She usually starts the same way each time, with an antagonistic question. I really can't figure her out in this show, in either campaign.

      She is young. Think of like this: she has this high image of herself, a benevolent image because her tribe demands it, as a druid, but her actions contradict herself not because she wants to, but because things turn out that way. She pushed someone into lava as she was in the middle of a fight, killed a child and a dwarf by mistakes. I like D&D cause you might want to be something, but your actions change what other people view your character.
      But the hilarious thing about Keyleth is she tries so hard to be good, but the universe seems to want her to be in the other side.
