Later on, Percy imforms him that he might have had something to do with the decision.

Not only did he completely miss the point/not care about what Percy was saying but he justified his actions to himself in the simplest terms possible, great character moment, travis is awesome
Travis is so good at playing innocent and dumb, I love Grog so much.
Toss the nitwit to the door... Who do you think the nitwit is??? XD
I'm honestly really confused i never watched the first campaign so who does he actually think the nitwit is lmao
tristen dodder well grog has 7 int and is notoriously dumb as nails.
grog actually has an intelligence of just 6, which is where his famous saying comes from: "i have an intelligence of 6, i know what i'm doing!" - proceeds to do something dumb (if i remember it correctly)
“-sighs- Have some seashells... And a skipping rock.”
“Ooooo!”
THE VERY DEFINITION OF ROLE PLAYING YOUR CHARACTER
"Oh ancient one, can you read my mind now?"
This is one of those legendary dnd moments that gives you chills, and the best part is just how many of these moments grog has gotten
It's just unfair to the others how great of a RPer Travis is.
Brandon Galvan so I stumbled on this video a year later and I’m reading the comments and I come to this and I want to like it... but I already did... a year ago... and the sentiment still stands. Great comment Travis really turns into his characters it’s sooooo fucking good. Same maybe be a great strategery man (his words not mine) but it’s not easy to play dumb lol
2:15
When Travis asks for clarification if Percy simply yells "The Nitwit!" to Grog, Taliesin realizes what Travis is trying to do and you can see how excited he gets.
Taliesin has the most fun when he sets up elements of chaos for the rest of the party, and it's even better for him when it's unintentional.
Grog made it out with only 8 hp btw. It was definitely a close call
Loved how he said that he were fine when they asked him about it before. :)
And he healed for 9 with that tiny potion!
CXG44 he healed for 6, he rolled a 3 and a 1 plus the 2
If he hadn't that might've changed everything. Someone else may decide to do something and put themselves at risk all the while with the chance of losing Grog too. Good play by Travis
Healed for 6. Would have been an interesting day had things gone differently.
Percy: "Have some seashells....." **hands Grog seashells** "And a skipping rock......" **hands skipping rock to Grog**
Grog: "Ohhh!"
“Throw the nitwit through the door!”
“Who do you think I think the nitwit is?”
grog getting swallowed is just the opening of guardians of the galaxy vol. 2
Grog jumping back through the portal giving the finger was a part of Infinity War.
Travis is so dedicated to being in character that he's willing to do the least effective thing just cause it goes in line with what his character would do. That is some serious dedication
Tal and Travis were absolutely following what their characters would do which is awesome, but also Tal made sure Grog wasn't low on HP before he tried this, which is great from a IRL standpoint. Ofc Travis said he was fine when he wasn't really, but that's Travis LOL
It seems Percy took a leaf out of Scanlan's book with that friend spell
TheOverBlader He's had it since the return to Whitestone
omg the stress radiating off of Marisha is real...
Laura Martin she felt so at fault for all of it. Of course the group wasn’t prepared for this battle. But she also wasn’t prepared to lead them. By her I mean Keyleth. She played it poorly with little regard for her friends until everyone was in danger
She had a habit of doing that in campaign of getting the group into fights that they are ready for
She's also very clearly had a bit much to drink
Jeffrey Ramos She was only preparing for a stealth mission which was why all her spells were for distractions and stuff because she never planned for it so yeah she rlly wasn’t prepared for that situation.
Marisha said that she had a really rough day before this session, and burst in to tears the moment it was over. I feel for her.
"I.. hand you my glasses... And fall down."
I love Percy so much
travis' very real look of " I,travis willingham will GUT you if this causes grog to die" but then as grog hes just :thinkingemoji:
Remember, Grog was at 2 hit points at the end of that. 2 HIT POINTS!
One of the closest times he came to being unconscious since the fight with Kevdak.
I'd look constipated too if I thought a high level barbarian was going to punch me in the face.
*Punches him..*
*nat 20*
"Percy make 3 saving throws.. Your knocked out.. And probably going to die."
"...have some sea shells, and a skipping rock."
"Ooooooohhhhhh!"
You know when characters are getting low by level of volume in the room, like damn
I find it funny that grog takes a healing potion right before tarys death saving throw too instead of feeding it to him haha
Liam Williams Feeding a potion to someone else takes an action, all grog had left was a bonus. With that said, if it wasn't for Percy he totallllly woulda left tary in the dust
xzc ahh yeah ofc . good point , thanks for reply !
Also he had only 8 HP at the end
@@randyll13 Back then Matt house ruled that healing potions only use up a bonus action, when consumed.
@@David_Blake91 Yes. To imbibe yourself. He had it ruled that since you had to focus more on actually making it go down their throat and not choke on it rather than drink it yourself it was an action
Not gonna lie, I honestly thought Grog was gonna go grab the Kraken and toss it through the door. It seriously looks like that what Travis is contemplating.
0:52 is quite possibly the greatest thing i've ever heard Sam say.
Plot twist: The same Kraken that ran into Fjord.
was thinking the same thing!
Not a kraken, but sure.
I reckon the vomiting sea water and stuff is payback for it at least.
Watch it with the spoilers, dude.
@@agloriousflame5486 With 2 years? It's not a spoiler anymore.
I'm just realizing how much bigger Travis is than liam.
He a big boy.
Consider who Travis's current warlock patron is ,this is fun.
Yes. Specifically Travis' warlock patron.
I read the book (explorers guide to wildemount) It shows who Uk'Toa is and just the thought of whats to come makes me so excited.
We've all heard it. To Grog a life is worth a skipping rock :D
The moment when Percy almost kills Grog...again
Travis is such the king of RP.
Love Laura going under the table to get to her place
they were soooooo not prepared for this battle
Well, I mean, when the Friends spell ends, the affected is meant to be angry that they had it cast on them, a balancing poison seeing as you can cast on anyone not actively hostile and attacking you with no saving throw. It’s an amazing social spell for talking your way out of a sticky situation.
That is why Travis’s response is so compelling, Grog knows he got manipulated but understands why he was and isn’t angry… whether it’s because the character trusts that Percy had a good reason, or that deep down Grog knows it was the right thing to do… either way it was an amazing how in tune Travis is with his character
" We'll see _friend_ "
Makes you wonder if Uk'otoa is payback for the middle finger.
If you watch it from 0:36 it is like watching a beginning game of dnd. Lol
I can't wait for the animated series. I miss Grog so much
the oblivion encounter music in the background, love it
Great video
I am so hyped to see Travis play Grog again in the Search For Bob
God, I miss Grog...
The look on Sam's face at the end... Poor guy
I’m so glad I found this XD “oooh shiny”
Grog is just so awesome!!!
After first ad screen went black, after second ad video started displaying correctly, after third ad screen was black again.
UA-cam ruining videos.
Gotta love Grog
funny how Travis is owned by an ancient one currently.
Yes...just a Kraken...
....who can challenge a god.... But just a Kraken....
I miss Grog
I recognize that music. That's Midnight Syndicate. I use their music in my games too.
5:13 What just happened? Did anyone else get that?
Grog was raging immune to charms but still awesome episode
its more a Percy thing not grog thing
Friends isn't a charm effect, it just gives you advantage on charisma checks.
Its not really a charm effect more like you become super charismatic and they are more likely to listen to you because of it
Iam pretty sure, Liam was glued to a gym ball the entire campaign, iam not sure how else he could pull of these moves on his chair.
First episode I ever saw of Critical Role.
Grog = Draxx
Nothing about the skipping rock exploding to dust?
I will need to include it in a longer video about Grog. :)
"Ooooh"
😂
I love grog
My heart
"... oooh! 😮"
I’ve seen this in other clips but haven’t bothered to ask till now, how can Percy cast spells? Did he multiclass or does he have some kind of magic item?
Don't remember when, but I think he took magic initiate as a feat some time and gained access to some warlock spells.
Damalatorian ah ok. Been wondering about that for a long time so thanks
how did Grog get 24 points of damage with one hit? i have yet ot watch this full campagin but if i had to guess he has his titanstone knuckles by now and pushed them up so he has a strenght of 26, i think he said he got a 9 in damage and with all the bonuses it went up. so 9 damage, +8 from his strength, and 3 from his rage (if he's the level i think he is) that's 20, is the axe a +4? or did i read all this wrong and he just used greatweapon master and got up there with it?
They were like 15th level at this point
Anyone know how they determined their lvl 1 stats?
They explain it in their Handbooker Halpern series, but iirc they roll 4d6 and drop the lowest die. Roll enough for to have 1 foreach stat, then assign the numbers where you want for your character build.
@@TheSightOfTheStars oh, ok. thank you
*LODESTONE*
What happened to vex from 6:11 - 6:27
Shock
0:53 and put the speed on 2 it is so funny
did percy take levels of warlock?
magic initiate feat. Has friends and minor illusion cantrips, and hex spell 1/LR. Works with smoke monster theme
thank you, thats been bugging me for a LONG time!
what level were they here?
At this point there are at level 16 and are basically gods... but not in a goldfish way. :)
Most of the party was 16, i believe tarry was a level or two lower
Was that Uk'otoa?
That is not how Friends works 😂
It's probably a homebrew version.
He corrected himself after the save
2:10 "i thought he would never leave"... only creepier because thats her brother (and grog)
🐚🐚🐚🐚🐚🪨
also... is this cracken the one thats fyords patron? that would be SICK!!!
I don't think Ukatoa is a kraken but it _is_ a sea monster thing, so the coincidence is amazing lol
No. Im pretty sure Ukatoa is an eldritch horror. But unless we know which patron type fjord picked its hard to tell.
@@drsatanrx Fjord has a Hexblade patron, possibly with the Pact of the Blade. U'katoa (now the Wildmother) is just the entity channeling through the hexblade instead of the Raven Queen.
@@kaeleastlord hexblade is a warlock which has different patron types. Usually fae, otherworldly ie lovecraftian horror or fiend.
Small words
This was such a hard episode to watch. Being that drunk while RP'ing had some serious cringe moments.
Percy, very much more so Taliesin, was willing to sacrifice his close ally and friend for a guy they met without hesitation... Even if it was for a good cause that would basically have been Percy murdering him if Grog did not manage to pull himself out very luckily. /:
It didn't seem like he was sacrificing him, though. When asked about his health, Travis said Grog was okay. Grog being 'okay' sounds like he's maybe halfway down or a little lower on HP which would still mean he has more left than everyone else in the group. Percy probably thought that Grog would be able to get through another attack from the Kraken without getting close to passing out, which Percy wouldn't be able to do - Percy also had no way of actually defending himself against the Kraken. So they could leave Taryion behind - a guy they had a contract with and who had one of the stones that they needed to complete their mission - or Percy could run in and try to save him by himself and then there would be two passed out characters in there who both needed saving, or Grog - who was already near Taryion - could pick up Taryion on his way out and hopefully survive the attack from the Kraken - an attack he might have had to defend against whether he saved Tary or not (I don't know how much saving Tary slowed him down).
Also: If that means Percy could've murdered Grog, it also means that Grog could've murdered Tary - since Grog was just gonna leave him to the Kraken simply because he didn't care about him. Just saying.
@@Neko141212 IIRC, carrying/dragging someone (like the then-unconscious Taryon) reduces your max movement speed by half.
I don't think anyone but Travis knew how low Grog was at this point.
@@Neko141212 Travis as Grog never said anything about hitpoint trouble ever, that’s just his way
@@josephmontoya5822 Had to go through this thread to remember what it's about since it's been 3 years by now. And your comment confuses me. It literally changes nothing about my statement. Yes, Travis and Sam both never really communicates how low they are. What's your point?
probably one of the most painful and frustrating episode to watch, grapple after grapple, marisha being drunk or high or whatever she was on that night, damn...
This episode is a point where Marisha realizes she got too drunk to play her character. You can tell by how little her face actually changes throughout the episode, except to get more flushed.
Keyleth was able to Wildshape into a Water Elemental at that point, yet for whatever reason what does Marisha try to have VM do?
Go and fight a fucking Kraken.
