Just my crazy theory, either Vess DeRogna or Trent Ikithon was Matt’s original plan to be seeking the power of the Somnovem. Molly’s death offered a opportunity to Matt to change course and have the fun dynamic with the story. Just my thought since if feel like that story arc is a little disjointed at this moment. Regardless it’s been a fun ride and I’m excited to see how C2 ends up concluding and what’s next for the gang. Cheers critters.
There's so many things to say about this episode. We've got all the Molly-references! The bad jokes! The fact that they spent three hours on 30 seconds of in-game time! The buildup to a final fight! The constant mlm wlw solidarity! This episode, while mostly combat, has already become one of my absolute favorites, and next episode will likely be no different
These edits perfectly highlight how the members of the cast are having their own little interactions that often go unnoticed yet are comedy gold. Nice work Nico!
Is it strange I spent the whole of this fight 'yelling' at Lucy to put some damn pants on? And then he did and they're made out of meat buildings and I'm all 'Nice Pants'?
While I really enjoyed the entire video (thank you for all your work), what brought me the most joy was the outtake bit where you can see just how much fun they are all genuinely having...all I can say is to all those critics that have surfaced, enjoy your bile...I will choose to appreciate all that true enjoyment each of those good folks have shared with us...again, thank you for the video...
Because it’s a callback to a moment between Nott and Molly near the start of the campaign. Nott tried to steal from Fjord but Molly caught her in the act and said that she should only steal from grumpy people, not happy people. When Molly died, Nott’s final words to him were ‘I don’t steal from happy people.’ So Sam got the quote a little wrong, but it’s more or less the same thing.
I love the continued story of Molly and it makes me sad to think that whole this is the Aeor arc, this technically is Molly's arc. Long May Molly Reign, Lucien will be defeated and I hope if they can't get Molly back, Matt will Allow Taliesin a few rods from Molly before he and Lucien die if they do.
Dude, this session was the Mighty Nine fighting First Form Sephiroth. Next session...The Mighty Nine...vs...NINE-WINGED MOLLYMAUK *Insert one-winged angel song here*
Just think, by the time the crossover with Vox Machina rolls around, they’ll be able to sell that Ring of Fire Resistance to Grog for 10,000 gold without feeling guilty.
I spoiled myself. I was listenin' to some stuff while drawin' and I didn't notice the next video YT recommended was this one. I was so worked up on my drawin' until I heard "Molly" Curse you, UA-cam autoplay recommendation. CURSE YOU!!!!
Anyone else get Kefka vibes from Matt's description of Lucians final form? While listening to it live all I kept thinking was " please play Kefkas boss theme!!!"
Late to the party - and not relevant to this video, but... Tasha gave Lucien that 4-leaf clover from her book. Can they maybe use that against him? Just wondering.
I gotta wonder what portion of the viewing audience didn't get that reference to the first X-Men movie. Statistically speaking, it was released before at least some of them were born, so…
Fjord wanted her to have it. She’s dripping in 10k of his gold between the Ioun stone and the ring of fire resistance. Jokes aside, what the others said. She’s resistant to cold instead of fire.

I would like to point out that Taliesin made this character.... He started this crazy and gave Matt this magic of an arc
Imagine how different this would could possibly be if molly lived and it was lucien trying to pop out
I can just see Taliesin making this crazy dude, having his fun, and then realizes he gave it to Matt and thinking "Oh no, what have I done?!"
Just my crazy theory, either Vess DeRogna or Trent Ikithon was Matt’s original plan to be seeking the power of the Somnovem. Molly’s death offered a opportunity to Matt to change course and have the fun dynamic with the story.

Matt hinted at what it would be when he was on Talks with Taliesin. That it would be Lucien ghost chasing Molly to get his body back.
Nope
"What is Caleb's favorite song?"
"This Girl is on Fire"
I've never felt so conflicted about liking a comment before....
Burning Down the House
Arsonist’s Lullaby is THE Caleb song ❤️
"i don't want to set the world on fire"
Surely it's gotta be "Fireball" by Deep Purple?
Travis and that ring moment were so adorable. So fucking funny too.
Gotta protect his wife xD
SAVED MY BITCH
It FINALLY came into real use, after so long!!! XD

"What spell does that eye cast?" just about slayed me!
It cast enlarge......
omg it kILLED ME
Charm Person.
Scorching Ray
Color Spray!
Marisha: "Kill me now."
Matt, without missing a fucking beat: "Yeah that's the plan."
Marisha's fits of laughter are the purest joy I've ever seen
These edits perfectly highlight how the members of the cast are having their own little interactions that often go unnoticed yet are comedy gold. Nice work Nico!
Hear’s what Lucien has become “Holy Crap, WE GOT A STINKING KAIJU UP IN HERE!”
wouldve been the perfect moment if Matt said as Lucien became that just, "Long may I Reign."
Ah, Lucien has become an Eldritch Final Fantasy boss
Perhaps just as Talesin intended
as a comment on the video said, he pretty much became sephiroth lol
Anyone else feel like matt missed being leon from resident evil and now made his own villan based of ot
Marisha: "Kill me now"
Matt: "Yah, That's the plan"
ahhh, good ol' couple dynamics
Is it strange I spent the whole of this fight 'yelling' at Lucy to put some damn pants on?
And then he did and they're made out of meat buildings and I'm all 'Nice Pants'?
When Matt was describing Lucien’s cocoon, my first thought was, “FACE HUGGERS... RUUUUNN!”😱
that thumbnail is the embodiment of getting a nat 20
Travis’ Fire Resistance Ring triumph was amazing, but I lost it at Sam’s ‘Natural Twelve’ 😂
You're telling me Lucien became Sephiroth Genova form all that is missing is him evolving to kefka's final form
Form one was kinda like Kefka's final form
Molly's design gave off FF vibes from the beginning so its fitting

Matt finally got the beholder fight that VM denied him
I don't know if you'd hear it in the comp, but there was a new battle music based on the original Critical Role theme in the background!
That song is called Ride to Destiny by Midnight Syndicate!
Some straight up Final Fantasy 7 shit I love it
4:38 why did Travis, and Laura light up when Sam said "They don't steal from nice people."
Because it’s a callback to a moment between Nott and Molly near the start of the campaign. Nott tried to steal from Fjord but Molly caught her in the act and said that she should only steal from grumpy people, not happy people. When Molly died, Nott’s final words to him were ‘I don’t steal from happy people.’ So Sam got the quote a little wrong, but it’s more or less the same thing.
The music at the point where he says *well...shall we finished this?* oooo its so good I've never seen better music timing
Anyone else get massive heart of darkness vibes from Lucien’s final transformation?
Yesss!!! Very Darkest Dungeon.
Heart of Darkness + Safer Sephiroth
Can we just make the Ring of Fire Resistance their engagement ring? Might as well, right?
“Your husband? Your boy?”
You pressed the Yeza and Luc button.
You shouldn’t a done that
I love the continued story of Molly and it makes me sad to think that whole this is the Aeor arc, this technically is Molly's arc. Long May Molly Reign, Lucien will be defeated and I hope if they can't get Molly back, Matt will Allow Taliesin a few rods from Molly before he and Lucien die if they do.
Long and girthy may he reign indeed
This team is stacked, honestly they can do so much to one enemy.
Still waiting for a nat 20 + path to the grave
The ring finally paid off. Lol
the cast trying successfully to make marisha laugh every ep is just *mwah* chef’s kiss
matt mercer in the email he wrote to steamforged to commission that mini: a beholder but make it sexy
"What spell does that eye cast?" DEAD!!!
I was waiting all week for this compilation!!!
"CONSUME"
"No! No! No!"

"I'm gonna do something a little dumm!"

I missed the first hour of the livestream and I am so happy to know that one crest was not enough.
Fjord radiating Captain Holt energy…. And then it backfired on him.
Missed the post-game 'how many forms does he have?' 'nine' :p
Dude, this session was the Mighty Nine fighting First Form Sephiroth.
Next session...The Mighty Nine...vs...NINE-WINGED MOLLYMAUK
*Insert one-winged angel song here*
i wonder if Matt will bring out another molly mini for his final form
At the end of the episode, they were talking about the new mini I’m sure that Matt will have something special for us :)
He did.
Just think, by the time the crossover with Vox Machina rolls around, they’ll be able to sell that Ring of Fire Resistance to Grog for 10,000 gold without feeling guilty.
4:43 i feel like nobody caught this callback
I spoiled myself. I was listenin' to some stuff while drawin' and I didn't notice the next video YT recommended was this one. I was so worked up on my drawin' until I heard "Molly"
Curse you, UA-cam autoplay recommendation. CURSE YOU!!!!
Wow Matt went all Final Fantasy boss battle with this guy lol
Okay, I haven't watched the full video yet, but someone needs to compile The Nein references to Molly and Luciens reactions to them.
I second this!
"Natural Twe-lve" never change Sam never change
Dude such a Final Fantasy Boss form
Had to sit down after "What spell does that eye cast"
Anyone else get Kefka vibes from Matt's description of Lucians final form? While listening to it live all I kept thinking was " please play Kefkas boss theme!!!"
Someone make a note to ask whatelse Sam wrote for his hideous laughter jokes for the post campaign talks
Anyone wondering what the last arc would've been like if Molly didn't die?
Lucien's got one big Tiefling :)
Lucien has become a one-winged angel
I love the Kefka-eske final boss.. well maybe, theres still Trent and Uk'otoa
J.E.N.O.V.A intensifies
Can someone explain the bean joke to me? I don't really get it
Pinto us a type of bean, and ford pinto is a common 'reasonably priced car'
It works on the same format as Fjord Mustang, and fjord tough
Had Lucien turned into a beholder?
Neo lucian looks like a pillarman from jojos
Is "The Charm", Molly?
No Yasha is.
I guess i missed something along the way. Theyre bringing bsck alot of Molly dialogue i haven't heard since i began c2

@@snirky lol yeah and I believe he called her that just once so yeah, good memory Marisha lol
For a Portuguese speaker “p*nto” means something totally different 😶
0:07 to skip the desperation
Jester is a Tiefling so she gets resistance to fire damage, so why does she have a ring of fire resistance?
She has a modified resistance to cold instead of fire due to family.
@@KitCatRawr Oh ok
she is a blue tiefling and resistant to cold rather than fire.
Fjord wanted her to have it. She’s dripping in 10k of his gold between the Ioun stone and the ring of fire resistance. Jokes aside, what the others said. She’s resistant to cold instead of fire.
Her dad's a Water Genasi, so she actually has Cold resistance.
